Chapter 273 Help

What Youhe said is exactly the biggest doubt in my mind.

In a big family like the Zhou family, relationships are complicated and everyone is a shrewd person. As the most confidential place, how could the study not be on guard against this group of shrewd people with their own ulterior motives?

What's more, last night was Shen Hualan's birthday party. There were many guests and many people were involved, so the study should be locked.

Even though the security guards patrol every fifteen minutes, there are no surveillance cameras in the corridors.

Fifteen minutes is enough to do a lot of things, so this is most likely a...

"Bait?" I looked up and blurted out, my eyes meeting Yu He's serious and worried face.

"Yes, I have such a guess. Not to mention that person's meticulous mind and sophisticated means, even ordinary people would not leave the study room locked on a day like last night, so this is most likely a bait." You He's face was solemn, "Then who set this bait, and who set it for?"

I still have doubts about the first question, but I have a very certain answer to the second question: "This bait should be set for me."

"If that's the case, you're in a very dangerous situation now." You He's expression suddenly tensed up, and his fingers holding the water cup suddenly tightened, "Xu Xu, don't go to the Zhou family's old house anymore. Let me do this."

"No, I don't agree." I interrupted Youhe and stared into his eyes firmly. "The Zhou family mansion is not the Vienna Winery. I still have a chance to enter with my current identity and role, but you definitely can't. Even if you get in by chance, you will be more likely to be noticed than me. Youhe, we agreed at the beginning that I will take this line, so don't compete with me again."

Of course I knew it was dangerous. Entering the Zhou family's old house to look for something was like going deep into a dragon's den or a tiger's lair. If I wasn't careful, nothing would be left but my hands. But once I decided to do this, I wouldn't look back.

What's more, I have more opportunities to enter the Zhou family's old house than Youhe, so I have to dig this clue.

The air was silent. You He finally succumbed to my burning gaze, but his eyes were filled with even more worry: "Xu Xu, that person has set a bait for you. You may have been exposed..."

"But I didn't take the bait, did I? Zhou Hanzhi and I staged a scene at the door of the study, and nothing was revealed afterwards, which means I am still safe for now." I clenched my fingers and said in a deep voice.

You He took a deep breath: "Xu Xu, you are gambling."

That's right, I was betting that the man didn't notice my attempt to break into the study and steal the information, and that the play that Zhou Hanzhi and I acted out successfully fooled everyone.

Gambling is extremely risky, but now I am like a pawn crossing the river. I can only move forward and not backward.

"Don't worry, I won't have the chance to enter the Zhou family's old house for the time being. I promise you that I can stay put for the time being." Looking at You He's worried eyes, I paused and made a promise, "And if there is a chance next time, I will tell you my action plan in advance before I act."

In fact, at this moment I still remembered what Zhou Hanzhi said to me.

He told me to be more honest recently.

He said this to me twice.

I don't know if he noticed anything, but there seemed to be something else behind his words.

To do things, one must not only be bold but also careful, so no matter whether Zhou Hanzhi's words had any other meaning, I decided to be more cautious in my future actions.

"Okay, that's good." You He finally showed a slightly relieved expression. He seemed to notice something and asked again, "By the way, why did Zhou Hanzhi help you?"

"Help me?" The question surprised me.

I quickly realized that what You He meant was that Zhou Hanzhi stopped me at the study door and, in order to cover up his tracks, had a fake intimate scene with me.

"Yes, if he hadn't stopped you in time, you would have been caught by the security guards once you entered the study, and all our efforts would have been wasted." You He nodded, frowning, serious, "If he hadn't kissed you, you wouldn't have escaped the security guards' suspicion. He was helping you. Tell me, does he still have feelings for you?"

"That's impossible!" I denied it without even thinking. "Zhou Hanzhi probably didn't help me. He just happened to be there. And as a member of the Zhou family, he didn't want the secrets of his study to be seen by outsiders, so he stopped me from kissing me to cover it up. I guess he just thinks that I'm his project leader and doesn't want me to get into trouble and delay the work. After all, the story is in its heyday right now."

Affection?

The relationship between us has long been broken.

"Yeah, that makes sense." Yuhe nodded.

But after a brief silence, he asked another question: "Xuxu, if Zhou Hanzhi really has old feelings for you, will you still be moved?"

You He is worthy of being a journalist, his questions always hit the nail on the head. This question left me speechless for a moment.

But after only a brief thought, I still gave a negative answer: "No, he and I have long been different, and there is a mountain between us, so we are destined to be incompatible."

However, after I said this, I felt a dull pain in my heart, and the pain became more and more intense, as if something was being forcibly pulled out of my heart, and I even had to put my fist against my chest to relieve it a little.

It was a very tiring day. After parting with Youhe, I took a taxi back home. I just wanted to get home quickly, take a hot bath and have a good sleep.

However, as soon as I walked out of the elevator, I saw a figure standing at my door, ringing the doorbell over and over again.

A stranger was ringing my doorbell in the middle of the night. It was very creepy. I immediately stopped him and said, "What are you doing?"

Hearing my voice, the man turned around and scared me.

"Manager Lin?"

Pink bear pajamas, yellow duck slippers, who else could it be but Lin Xixi?

But at this moment, I hardly recognize Lin Xixi.

The little girl always dressed very delicately and tenderly whether she was outside or at home, and paid great attention to her image. But at this moment, her hair was wet, her pink teddy bear pajamas were stained with water, and even her yellow flat-billed duck slippers were worn inside out.

She kicked off her slippers and walked over to me. I immediately saw two red and swollen walnuts and a look full of resentment and hatred between the red walnuts.

Eh...it's pretty scary.

I took a step back unconsciously. "What's wrong with you? Why are you ringing my doorbell so frantically?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xixi rushed in front of me and glared at me with her red and swollen eyes, as if she was out of control.

"Meng Nanxu, why are you so shameless?"

"See you tomorrow"
