The next morning, Zhou Ming had needed to analyze the latest batch of evidence against Ling Xiu. He also had some private documents from the family company he didn't to evaluate, hence why he decided to stay at his penthouse. Xiao Yunhua was still in the hospital, so he had no need of avoiding her.
He wanted to go visit her in the hospital, but he knew that she was still angry at him. Zhou Ming didn't mean to do such a thing, but he couldn't be too careful. He had implanted the bug since she decided on their arrangement, at that time, not trusting her much.
Now... they had certainly gotten closer, but there were many things he still kept from her. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
It was merely due to scaring her away if she knew how wicked he tended to be.
He phone buzzed with an incoming call from an unknown number. He was suspicious immediately as to who knew his private number. Picking it up, the other party greeted him in a different language.
Recognizing the voice immediately, Zhou Ming felt a smile appear on his face. "You dimwit, it's been too long."
"Tsk, you greet me so harshly after so long? So much for the souvenirs I brought you. Guess I'll just give them to Lang." The other voice belonged to a man in his twenties with a hint of a foreign accent. Despite his words, Zhou Ming smiled and asked if they could meet up.
"I guess I can meet you before meeting the old man. He'll be pissed." The man gave Zhou Ming the time of his arrival and an hour later, Zhou Ming had arrived at the airport.
His eyes scanned the airport and fell upon a tall, handsome man with blonde hair and dark eyes. He wore a plain shirt and a pair of shorts, along with sneakers. He looked very comfortable and causal.
The man noticed Zhou Ming and immediately hugged him. Surprisingly, Zhou Ming didn't push him away like with most people. He even hugged the man back. "Zhou Lu... it's been too long."
Zhou Lu grinned at his older brother, his pearly white teeth almost blinding Zhou Ming. "Are you saying that because I threatened to give away your souvenirs?"
"You idiot..." Zhou Ming chuckled and motioned for his assistant to pick up Zhou Lu's bags. "How come you're back so soon?"
"Old man threatened me. He said that you're becoming 'incompetent' because of a woman. Can you believe how silly he's gotten? You, actually associating yourself seriously with a woman..." Zhou Lu laughed until he noticed his brother was not laughing along.
"Grandfather was serious?" Zhou Lu was shocked. "Dang, she must be out of this world for her to influence you."
"She's not influencing me... it's all part of the plan." Zhou Ming calmly replied as they both walked over to his car. Zhou Lu still had his suspicions, but he didn't question his brother much more. Instead, he cheerfully suggested they go out and drink in celebration of his return. He had many stories to tell after traveling the world for so many years.
Surprisingly, his brother didn't disagree, which is how many hours later, they were both wasted and drunk. So drunk that Zhou Lu could barely see and Zhou Ming felt a bit nauseous. He hadn't drank this much in a long time, yet his brother tempted him like this. Zhou Ming ordered for his assistant to take his brother to the hotel he had booked for himself. Zhou Ming decided to take a taxi to go back to his penthouse.
Stumbling slightly, he couldn't help but remember an ethereal face that lived in this penthouse along with him. He had an urge to see her, but he shook his head. Zhou Lu's silly talk today along with the alcohol seemed to have made him delusional. That woman was temporary and will be nothing more.
They couldn't be together. So even while drunk, Zhou Ming made sure that thought and idea was implanted deeply in his head.
As he sat on the first available sofa, he sighed. He was about to get up again to find something to sooth his nausea and headache, but froze. His eyes narrowed and he discreetly pushed a hidden button on the couch.
When he looked up, there was someone standing in front of him...
