Chapter 357: Directly Exposed! [1 more]
It was just a simple sentence, but it was like a huge rock hitting the calm surface, causing huge waves.
Zhou Hechen seemed to be frozen in place, his whole body stiffened in place, and for a moment he couldn't react at all to what Zhou Heyuan meant by this sentence.
What do you mean...who did he mistake for Sheng Yunyi?
Sheng Yunyi has never been to Nancheng?
Zhou Hechen was like a puppet that had lost its soul, standing there blankly without moving.
With a "boom", Sheng Yunyi's brain exploded instantly.
She looked back at Zhou Heyuan in disbelief, her expression unable to conceal her shock, and more of panic, her hands and feet were extremely cold.
She had indeed never been to South City when she was a child. After all, Madam Sheng had been very strict with her since she was a child, requiring her to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She would study until late at night every day, so naturally she had no time to go to other cities.
So many years ago, when the Zhou family brought Zhou Hechen to the Sheng family to express their gratitude, she had many doubts in her heart.
But at that time, Mrs. Sheng calmly accepted the life-saving favor and told her that she would be Zhou Hechen's lifesaver from now on.
Later, she used this identity to improve her status and obtain more resources.
Sheng Yunyi had thought about being exposed, but definitely not when she was completely unprepared!
But it was directly exposed by Zhou Heyuan!
"Second brother, what's wrong with you these past two days? I asked you questions, but you never responded?" Zhou Heyuan seemed not to have seen Sheng Yunyi, with a smile still on his lips. He knocked on the table, "Who did you mistake for Yunyi? I don't mean anything else. I just want you to examine your feelings for Yunyi and stop hurting her."
Zhou Hechen came back to his senses abruptly. His face was pale and his lips were trembling violently: "I, I..."
He didn't know how to answer because he had never thought about it.
After all, before Sheng Yunyi was expelled from the Sheng family, every aspect made her a qualified mistress of the Zhou family.
With the added filter of being his savior, his feelings for Sheng Yunyi are naturally real.
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Zhou Hechen tried hard to suppress the turmoil in his heart: "Brother, what do you mean? There is someone else who saved me."
"I'm asking you, aren't I?" Zhou Heyuan smiled faintly, "It wasn't me who was saved, so of course I don't know who it was."
Zhou Hechen's face turned even paler.
He was dizzy and dazed due to excessive physical exertion at the time, and only heard the voice without carefully seeing the other person's face.
But later he heard that Sheng Yunyi happened to be in South City during that period, and the time and whereabouts matched. He went to the Sheng family to verify it and got a positive answer.
Now that he thinks about it, could it be that all the information he heard was released by the Sheng family on their own initiative?
After all, his kidnapping was no secret within the five major families.
No one knew what Zhou Hechen was thinking of, he ran out of the ward like crazy, so fast that Sheng Yunyi couldn't stop him.
"Big, big brother, what are you talking about?" Sheng Yunyi tried to smile, "I've been to South City, I--"
Zhou Heyuan only said three words: "Get out."
Sheng Yunyi’s face turned as pale as paper, and she had no choice but to leave.
"Brother, how do you know Sheng Yunyi has never been to South City?" Zhou Zhiyun handed over a glass of water and asked curiously, "You scared her face so much just now that it turned pale."
Zhou Heyuan finished drinking the water in his glass and said calmly, "I had already found out about this four years ago, but I just didn't tell anyone about it."
He had no intention of paying attention to the grudges between Zhou Hechen and Sheng Yunyi, but the two of them involved his savior, Ye Wanlan, which was extremely wrong.
"Who saved my second brother?" Zhou Zhiyun frowned. "I didn't expect this matter was such a misunderstanding from the beginning to the end."
"I don't care, I don't mind, I don't have the time." Zhou Heyuan said calmly, "Zhiyun, are you working in Miss Ye's company now?"
"Yeah." Zhou Zhiyun said carefully, "Miss Ye is really nice. When she knew that I had set up a poverty relief foundation, she donated a lot of money. In addition, Wantianqing Company is committed to promoting intangible cultural heritage..."
Zhou Heyuan touched her head and smiled: "I know, so from now on, the Zhou family will only stand on her side."
Hearing this, Zhou Zhiyun was shocked: "Brother?"
She understood Zhou Heyuan's character and knew that he had his own ambitions and would not yield to others. How could he say such a thing?
"A gentleman will die for his confidant." Zhou Heyuan sighed softly, "Miss Ye, you are a natural born king."
In the more than a day since he woke up, through Zhou Zhiyun's narration and some intelligence information he received, he experienced for the first time what it means to "plan from within the tent and win the battle thousands of miles away."
Zhou Zhiyun nodded, then continued: "But my second brother..."
"I've given him many chances." Zhou Heyuan closed his eyes. "If he doesn't cherish them, what else can I do?"
Zhou Zhiyun nodded silently and said nothing more.

Lin.
"You've only been here for two days, why are you leaving?" Lin Huaijin was reluctant to let her go, "Don't forget New Year's Eve in half a month."
"Got it, uncle." Ye Wanlan, "I will come back early because I have to represent the school in this year's calligraphy competition." The preliminary and semi-finals of the calligraphy competition will be held in Jiangcheng, and ten contestants will be selected to compete in the finals in Yunjing next year.
"That's good." Lin Huaijin patted her shoulder, pondered for a moment, and said, "You shouldn't keep weighing your grandmother's affairs on your mind for so many years... Alas."
Ye Wanlan put on his bag and whispered, "I know, but I still want to try harder."
As long as things are not beyond redemption, she will not give up.
When Lin Huaijin heard this, he only felt heartbroken.
Ye Wanlan was already precocious, and his body had been taken over by an alien soul, but he still had to bear so much, and he couldn't help with anything.
"Alan, you can do whatever you want." Lin Huaijin said solemnly, "At least, your uncle will always be behind you."
Ye Wanlan's heart moved, and she raised her eyebrows: "Then I will remember what uncle said. In the next few months, uncle will probably start to be busy."
Lin Huaijin nodded: "Is it the chemical industry you mentioned? No problem, I'll leave it to you, uncle."
"I will sort out the information and give it all to my uncle when the time comes." Ye Wanlan nodded.
She picked up her bag and left the Lin family with Yan Tingfeng, returning to southern Xinjiang on a private plane.
During the two days that Ye Wanlan returned to Jiangcheng, the program crew did not delay the filming process and had completed filming of several major cultural relics and historical sites in southern Xinjiang.
"Miss Ye, you're back just in time." The director smiled. "We have to rush to the next location to shoot the former residence of the King of Chu. We really need Miss Ye's radar."
King Xiang Qingtian of Chu was a controversial figure in history.
Some people said that he had long harbored evil intentions and wanted to seize power and usurp the throne.
Some people also say that after he failed in his bid for the throne, he realized that he was not as good as Emperor Ning Zhaozong, so he was willing to guard the southern border and protect China.
The King of Chu had a very turbulent life.
He was born in troubled times and died in war.
After fighting for forty or fifty years, he did not end up with a good ending of old age, which makes people in later generations sigh.
Ye Wanlan was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Okay."
Rong Yu suddenly laughed and said, "I remember that when classmate Ye was doing the test, he didn't answer any questions about the King of Chu. Is it because he didn't like the King of Chu?"
“No.” Ye Wanlan paused, raised his eyebrows and smiled, “I simply don’t want to answer.”
Rong Yu: "..."
Being good at studying means being willful.
"Come to think of it, the headquarters of the Shen Ce Army is not far from Southern Xinjiang." Professor Shen also smiled and said, "There will be a lot of filming in the next few episodes."
"Everyone, come back from outside!" Xingyue shouted at this time, "It's going to rain soon, probably in about ten seconds."
Hearing this, the director's face changed and he rushed into the room first.
Not only are there many snakes and insects in southern Xinjiang, but the weather is also very unstable.
Indeed, in just a dozen seconds, dark clouds gathered and heavy rain fell from the sky.
Fortunately, Xingyue and Rong Qi were there and predicted the unpredictable weather in advance, so the program crew was spared from a rainstorm.
"Miss Ye, someone...someone is here to see you again." The assistant director came over and hesitated, "It's someone from the Zhou family in Jiangcheng, but he looks like a psychopath. If you don't want to see him, we'll just send him away."
Ye Wanlan said calmly: "No need, I'll go see him."
"Let's go." Yan Tingfeng held the umbrella to shield her from the wind and rain, "Let's go and take a look together."
The rain is still falling, with no sign of stopping.
But with Yan Tingfeng's protection, Ye Wanlan was not stained by rain at all.
The "lunatic" referred to by the assistant director was Zhou Hechen who had chased him all the way from Jiangcheng. He didn't bring an umbrella with him and was soaked like a drowned rat, looking extremely miserable.
Ye Wanlan stood three meters away from him.
Zhou Hechen would suddenly appear here, and she could almost instantly judge that Zhou Heyuan had already started the first step of the plan.
She didn't mind and added fuel to the fire.
There is no point in killing people, destroying their hearts is the best way.
"Were you the one who saved me back then?" Zhou Hechen raised his head, his eyes full of hope.
Place a bet, who will come out first, the King of Chu or the commander of the Shen Ce Army, Huo Jingyu?
