Rescue the hero who was imprisoned by the cannon fodder sister

Chapter 169 I Want to Meet Her

Separated by a street that was neither too close nor too far away, in fact, neither side could see the expression on the other's face clearly.

Zhou Niantang even covered most of her face with a scarf.

But Pei Shi could still see that she seemed to have lost some weight.

He didn't get out of the car, nor did he worry about being discovered. After being rejected by her, he no longer needed to worry about his self-esteem.

In the past, he would have been ashamed to admit why he was here at this time.

But now, after returning from Country R and getting off the plane, his only thought was.

Want to meet her.

So there is no need to worry about it, just think about it and do it.

Now he was across the street, seeing people he hadn’t seen for more than half a month, and it just wasn’t enough.

It turns out that just watching is not enough to relieve the growing longing and pain in my heart.

For the first twenty years of his life, he lived a life that was considered "difficult" by others.

But he knows clearly that he will do his best to achieve what he wants, and in fact, he has indeed achieved what many people consider "successful".

Now, he wanted to be alone.

No matter what the outcome is, he is unwilling to give up.

He won't give up.

After looking at the person opposite him for a few seconds through the falling snowflakes, Zhou Niantang began to doubt what Yun Zhi had said and his own understanding.

That is, Pei Shi is a person with a very strong self-esteem.

Judging from his behavior these two or three times, it doesn't seem to be the case. Instead, it seems a bit shameless?

But she could guess in her heart, but she couldn't take one more step forward.

She remembered the smile she saw when the man ran past the French window in front of the store with a rose in his hand.

Is this the look you would have when running towards someone you like?

In such a time and atmosphere, she suddenly felt that she was not herself.

That inexplicable feeling of sadness seemed to have pulled her in from another time and space, causing her mind and emotions to temporarily escape from her current environment.

She stared blankly at the person opposite her.

It wasn't until the driver stopped the car in front of her that she came to her senses. The moment she looked away, she realized that she was crying.

She quickly got into the car, leaned her head against the seat, and pulled the tail of her scarf up to cover her eyes.

Zhou Niantang didn’t think too much about what happened on Valentine’s Day.

She always knew what decision she needed to make, so she couldn't dwell on problems that would only get her into deeper trouble.

She continued to immerse herself in her work.

It’s been more than a month since the Chinese New Year, but the weather hasn’t warmed up as it did in spring.

It is still mostly cloudy, either snowing or raining, or gloomy with cold wind.

There are some signs of spring.

Due to the long period of cold weather, Zhou Niantang inevitably caught a cold.

Perhaps due to my mood, this cold came on so violently.

When she woke up in the morning, she found that she seemed to have a fever, so she didn't get up and called Luo Luo directly.

Not long after, the doctor came up to take her temperature and examine her body, only to find that her fever was almost 39 degrees.

She fell asleep when the doctor started giving her an IV.

I slept uneasily. Sometimes I woke up suddenly, but before Aunt Zhang and Lolo noticed, I quickly closed my eyes and continued to sleep.

By the time I woke up completely, it was already past four in the afternoon.

The Zhou family villa has always had good soundproofing, so while she was asleep, she didn't hear the chaos outside.

It was dinner time. Lolo brought the meal in. When she opened the door, she happened to see two or three men in suits walking past her room.

You know, outsiders are never allowed to go up to the floors above the second floor.

"What's wrong, Sister Lolo?"

Luo Luo felt that there was nothing wrong with letting her know about this, so she put the plate on the small dining table and told her, "The eldest lady lost a document, and she asked a professional to come up and take the fingerprints from the study."

"Do you know what the file is?"

Zhou Niantang subconsciously felt that this matter must be very serious, otherwise why would Zhou Yunqi go to so much trouble to check these things at home.

Luo Luo of course didn't know, but she said: "Maybe it has something to do with the news reported today?"

Zhou Niantang had just recovered from his fever and felt weak and powerless. He found his cell phone on the bed and opened the news interface.

Sure enough, I saw a piece of news on the financial channel.

In short, something went wrong with an island development project of Zhou's company.

Today is the bidding meeting. Zhou, who was originally almost certain to win the project, missed out on this good project due to erroneous bidding information.

The energy invested in this project is no less than that of last year's Qilinshan project.

Zhou Niantang could probably guess that the reason for the failure might be the leakage of file information.

You have to know that in bidding projects like this, each company's bid is kept confidential before the bidding begins.

The fact that Zhou Yunqi was able to find the file at home means that the file had appeared at home before.

She took the spoon that Luo Luo handed to her and asked, "Has my sister come back today?"

"The eldest lady came back this afternoon and looked very angry. She left after staying for a short while. Now everyone is being called in for questioning by Uncle Sun."

Zhou Niantang hasn't seen Zhou Yunqi for many days. After returning from abroad, the two sisters have been busy and it is difficult for them to have time to meet.

I wanted to send a message to ask about the situation, but I was afraid that Zhou Yunqi was upset and she would have to deal with me if I asked her.

In addition, I was still feeling uncomfortable even though my fever had just subsided, so I gave up the idea, ate a few bites of food, took some medicine, and continued to sleep.

This cold is just like this winter. It has been on and off for several days and hasn't gone away.

Illness comes like a mountain, and this time the cold was quite severe. After Valentine's Day, the flower shop's business was a little slow, so she rested at home for nearly a week.

Li Jing took the contract matter and the fingerprint investigation results to Zhou Yunqi's office.

"No unusual fingerprints were found. We searched the entire office area, the study at home, and all the relevant people, but found nothing."

Zhou Yunqi didn't look at the document. She leaned back in her chair and rubbed her eyebrows tiredly.

Li Jing expressed her guess: "Could it be a simple coincidence?"

"Rather than believing in coincidence, I believe it must be man-made."

Zhou Yunqi was extremely sure of this point of view. After all, the person who benefited from this matter was none other than Pei Shi.

The document was not actually lost.

But at the bidding meeting, Pei Shi's people were able to get ahead of her and reveal all the contents of the document. From that moment on, the original document in her hand had become a stack of waste paper.

There are no such coincidences in the world.

Li Jing also felt that saying it was a coincidence was a far-fetched reason for someone like Zhou Yunqi who needed to get everything clear.

"But this is too strange. Unless there is a traitor, how can someone know all the details of our plans?"

Zhou Yunqi suddenly remembered herself. She had it, she was reborn.

Then what if... After this thought appeared in her mind, she could no longer calm down.
