~7 min read 1,280 words

"Good, I have learned everything I need to know." Chen Yu nodded.

"How are you going to help me?" Zhou Jimin paused and looked up at Chen Yu.

"I will go directly to him and ask him about some things face-to-face," Chen Yu said coldly. "Rest assured, since I said I would help you, I will certainly help you to the end."

"How did you find out the news that I was going abroad?" Zhou Jimin raised his head to look at Chen Yu, his expression full of confusion.

"Star Moon Pavilion." Chen Yu spat out only these three words faintly.

"You are a person from Star Moon Pavilion?" Zhou Jimin was startled, and he muttered, "No wonder, what news could ever be hidden from Star Moon Pavilion?"

"I am not a person from Star Moon Pavilion, but the people of Star Moon Pavilion must follow my orders." Chen Yu smiled.

Zhou Jimin stopped talking. With Chen Yu holding such a status, even if he struggled further, it would be useless; it would be better to just lie flat and be obedient.

"Has your father ever mentioned anything about my mother from back then?" Chen Yu paused and said, "According to what they said, I died seven days after I was born, and your father was responsible for handling the remains."

"But I survived, and when my foster father found me, my body was very healthy. Why is this exactly?"

"My father never mentions things from when he was working in the past." Zhou Jimin shook his head and said, "For this matter, you still have to ask him face-to-face."

Chen Yu fell into Silence. It seemed Zhou Cheng'en was a guy with extremely deep schemes; it appeared some things must be forced out of him face-to-face.

"Your daughter is already in high school, but no one has ever known you have a daughter. According to your own words, you only started guarding against your eldest brother 8 years ago. Why hide the fact that you have a daughter?" Chen Yu asked.

"My daughter's mother came from a background of ill-repute. If I had married her openly and brought her into the family, my father certainly would not have agreed at the time." Zhou Jimin gave a bitter smile. "So I had to do it secretly, but I didn't expect that this has now become a means to protect them."

Chen Yu nodded slightly, the face of Wang Yiyun appearing before his eyes. He could not imagine that a woman whose speech and manners seemed so refined could actually come from a background of ill-repute.

Suddenly, Zhou Jimin's cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. His expression jolted, as if he had thought of something.

"Why don't you answer the phone?" Chen Yu looked at his terrified face.

"I suddenly remembered, since you could find out that I was transferring assets and buying a plane ticket to go abroad, why couldn't Zhou Jihai?" Zhou Jimin's face turned pale. "He already knows I'm trying to run away."

"Answer it. I guarantee your wife and daughter will be able to reach your side safely, and in the future, your family will live upright lives," Chen Yu commanded.

Zhou Jimin's face paled, then he took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself down, and answered the phone.

"Jimin, where are you?" A familiar voice came from the receiver; it was Zhou Jihai's voice.

"Big brother, I'm drinking at a club. Is there something you need?" Zhou Jimin's face went white, then he forced a calm appearance and spoke in a steady tone.

"Hmm, come to Longcheng Villa right now. I have something to discuss with you." Zhou Jihai's voice was also calm, but it carried an unquestionable tone.

"Big brother, I'm drinking with a few friends. Is there anything that can't be said over the phone?" Zhou Jimin forced a smile.

"I told you to come over, so come over." The voice in the receiver became somewhat urgent. "Immediately."

"I'll come over after I finish my drink." Zhou Jimin's face changed; the other party's voice made his body tremble.

"I told you to come over now." Zhou Jihai's tone became vicious. "Your daughter and your wife are in my hands now. If I don't see you in half an hour, don't ever think about seeing them again."

"Let them go! If you have any issues, come at me!" Zhou Jimin stood up abruptly; he almost roared it out.

"Heh heh, Lao Er..." Zhou Jihai's voice suddenly became deep. "Twenty years ago, you wanted to marry a woman named Wang Yiyun. This woman was very beautiful, but she came from a background of ill-repute, and I did not agree."

"I didn't expect it, you actually played this hand behind my back. For her, you packaged yourself as a dissolute rich kid, a non-marriage advocate, and then secretly stayed with her, and actually even had a daughter?"

Zhou Jimin's face turned pale instantly. Zhou Jihai's voice was exactly the voice of his late father, Zhou Cheng'en.

And only his father would call him Lao Er. He no longer intended to hide it.

"Who are you? Who exactly are you?" Zhou Jihai roared hysterically.

The person on the other end of the phone had the appearance of his eldest brother, but in fact, possessed the consciousness of his father. This chaotic relationship made him almost collapse.

"Who am I? Heh heh, why don't you come and see for yourself?" The other party laughed loudly. "Arrive in half an hour. Do not call the police, otherwise, your family of three will be separated by Life and Death from now on."

"I'm going, I'm coming over right now, don't hurt them!" Zhou Jimin shrieked. He hung up the phone and rushed out like a madman.

"Are you going to your death now?" Chen Yu grabbed him and stopped him.

"But what should I do? What can I do? He kidnapped my wife and daughter; they are the most important people to me in this world!" Zhou Jimin roared.

"I'll go with you. Remember, no matter what happens, you must keep your Life to reunite with your wife and daughter," Chen Yu said in a deep voice.

Zhou Jimin's agitated eyes calmed down. He took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

In the suburbs, inside an extremely large manor villa.

The villa occupied about three mu of land, French-style, with gardens and swimming pools in the courtyard.

In the main hall, Zhou Jihai's face was sallow. He leaned on a cane, pacing back and forth in the room.

Before him, Wang Yiyun and her daughter huddled together in terror; the two of them were extremely afraid.

"What do you want to do?" Wang Yiyun held her daughter tightly and stared at Zhou Jihai.

"Heh heh, sister-in-law, you and my younger brother have been together for nearly twenty years, right? This is our first time meeting formally." Zhou Jihai said with a chuckle. "I am very sorry to invite you here in this way, but I had no choice."

"That younger brother of mine is a good-for-nothing on the surface, but in fact, he has many schemes in his heart. If I don't force him, I'm afraid he won't come."

"Why did you call him here?" Wang Yiyun steadied herself. "He has indeed acquired many businesses behind your back over these years, but if you want them, take them, as long as you don't hurt us."

"His little businesses? You have the nerve to offer those?" Zhou Jihai sneered. Suddenly, his body began to tremble, and he stiffened his neck and roared: "What I want is not these."
