"I'm right at the intersection, aren't you going to come out and meet me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ze jumped up from the sofa.

The woman in the living room was surprised and was about to ask what was going on when she saw his gesture, indicating that he should not speak.

"Ahem, wait for me here for a moment, I'll be right out."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ze quickly ran out of the house.

When he saw Luo Yusheng, he was already panting heavily.

Didn't I tell you not to come?

Luo Yusheng raised the bag she was carrying.

"We're friends after all, so it's alright for me to come and visit, isn't it?"

Since she said that, Zhou Ze couldn't possibly blame her.

"Okay then, thank you so much."

He originally intended to take the medicine and go back, but he didn't expect Luo Yusheng to seem so interested in this place.

"This is my first time here, aren't you going to show me around?"

Zhou Ze hesitated for a moment, but eventually agreed.

"I seem to remember your house being in this direction, but you just ran out from there."

Luo Yusheng pointed in a direction and asked curiously.

"You must be mistaken. My family has always lived over there."

Zhou Ze said in a serious tone, trying to convince Luo Yusheng that he had misremembered.

"It's getting late, you should go back now."

This was the third time Luo Yusheng had heard him urge her to go home.

Why do I seem a little unwelcome to your visit?

"I'd like to visit your home again."

Zhou Ze looked slightly flustered, but quickly managed a smile: "No, no."

“I’m just worried you won’t be used to it here.”

As Luo Yusheng looked around, she instructed, "Then lead the way."

Zhou Ze kept praying that the women in his family would be sensible enough to leave.

Little did he know that he had brought Luo Yusheng to his doorstep, while the woman was still sitting in the living room.

Zhou Ze tried to distract her, but it was too late.

"Who is this?"

The woman only knew that Zhou Ze had left in a hurry, but she didn't know that he would bring someone home.

The two sides met, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.

"Hello, I'm Xiaoze's older sister."

To dispel Luo Yusheng's suspicions, the woman discreetly slipped the documents behind the sofa and extended her hand.

Luo Yusheng smiled knowingly: "Hello, I am Luo Yusheng, Zhou Ze's colleague."

Then, she turned to look at Zhou Ze: "I've never heard you mention having an older sister?"

Zhou Ze explained guiltily, "My sister works away from home all year round and only came back in the last two days."

"Since your colleague is here, I'll prepare dinner."

Seeing that something was wrong, the woman quickly rushed into the kitchen.

Luo Yusheng looked around the Zhou family home and found that the decoration and layout were just like they were thirty years ago.

Fortunately, it was cleaned up and didn't look too messy.

"I'll get you a glass of water."

Zhou Ze couldn't think of a way to deal with Luo Yusheng, so he decided to avoid her for the time being.

Luo Yusheng had already noticed the woman's subtle movements when she came in.

She decisively went to the sofa and pulled out the document.

It's clearly written above; it's the one about the Luo family that was leaked.

When Zhou Ze came out, he saw this scene.

"How is this going?"

Luo Yusheng turned to look at Zhou Ze, her voice unconsciously rising.

Zhou Ze broke out in a cold sweat and stammered, unable to speak.

This is completely different from his usual image.

Seeing that things were not going well, the woman tried to rush out the door, but Luo Yusheng blocked her at the door.

Luo Yusheng picked up a document, which was filled with detailed records of the transaction between Zhou Ze and Ruyan Group.

The date, amount, and the responsibilities and obligations of both parties are all clearly stated.

With irrefutable evidence, Zhou Ze had no way to deny it.

"Zhou Ze, you actually colluded with the Ruyan Group!"

"Do you know how many people's interests they have harmed by resorting to any means for profit?"

"Besides, you're a graduate of a prestigious university. Don't you understand the consequences of betraying the company like this?!"

"Yusheng, please give me another chance. I promise I will never do it again."

Zhou Ze looked regretful; he hadn't wanted to do such a despicable thing in the first place.

But he was desperately short of money.

"I can't forgive you."

From the moment they met, Luo Yusheng had already turned on the recording.

"I'm really having a hard time. Could you please be understanding and not tell anyone at the company?"

Only now has Zhou Ze truly begun to regret his actions.

"Do you have to do this just because you're in trouble?"

Luo Yusheng didn't understand his behavior at all. Why would a perfectly normal person like him get involved with Ji Tingxiao?

Moreover, the two of them were following the orders of the person in charge behind the scenes.

"Someone told you to do this, didn't they?"

Seeing that Zhou Ze didn't speak, Luo Yusheng asked again.

"No……"

The thought of that man filled Zhou Ze with fear.

Even if he had a thousand lives, he wouldn't dare reveal the man's true identity.

"You still don't want to talk about it now?"

Luo Yusheng lost her patience and tacitly agreed that this was giving Zhou Ze one last chance.

For a long while, the man in front of her remained silent.

"Okay, that's your choice."

Luo Yusheng picked up the documents and said before leaving, "The company's lawyer will contact you later."

Seeing her resolute figure, Zhou Ze fell into despair.

I never expected that my negligence would lead to this exposure.

If he had known it would turn out this way, he shouldn't have agreed to Ji Tingxiao's request in the first place.

A few days ago, Ji Tingxiao approached him furtively, saying that he had a way to quickly make a fortune.

Upon hearing that it could make money, Zhou Ze immediately became interested.

He grew up in a difficult environment; both his elderly grandparents were hospitalized due to illness, putting him under immense pressure.

In order to make money quickly, he considered Ji Tingxiao's suggestion.

But he didn't expect that Luo Yusheng, who seemed simple-minded on the surface, had already set her sights on him with suspicion.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ze held his head in frustration.

The next day, he received a summons from the court.

Because of the malicious leak of company secrets, the police came to the Zhou family home and arrested him.

In his last moments before getting into the police car, Zhou Ze looked back at the home he had lived in for over twenty years.

In the police station's reception room, Luo Yusheng sat in a chair with a recording device on the table beside her.

The light shone on her face. Just moments before, she had given the police a detailed account of her discovery and played the recording.

After taking her statement, the police asked her to leave.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Ji Tingxiao walking in quickly.

"Zhou Ze is actually that kind of person! He usually seems so honest, yet he did something like this!"

"Sheng Sheng, thank goodness you're alright!"

Luo Yusheng raised her eyes, her gaze sweeping over Ji Tingxiao's hypocritical demeanor, and an overwhelming sense of contempt welled up within her.
