On the deserted beach, I dialed a number that wasn't saved in my contacts.
I called twice, and each time it rang a few times before I hung up.
On the third call, the other party returned the call after three rings.
"Sis," a steady male voice came through.
"Help me with something," I said.
"You say."
"Help me look into someone."
"Who?"
"The son of Zhou Wenguang, Zhou Qi."
"……"
There was a brief silence on the other end before he asked, "What’s going on?"
"Don't ask why," I replied, "just help me."
"Okay."
"Also find out who he has around him, the people next to Zhou Qiang."
"……"
The man on the phone sensed something, "Sis, did you find something about Zhou Qi?"
"……"
"You don’t need to worry; I’ll handle it. You and Zhou Qiang won’t have any trouble."
"……"
"Sis?"
"You just need to dig out the spies around him," I said, "the rest is none of your concern."
"……"
"And also look into Zhou Qi's secrets."
"……"
"Peng Zhou, this shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
"……"
Peng Zhou smiled and said, "Is there anything difficult for you?"
"……"
I hung up the phone.
For some reason, I felt a bit irritable and wanted to smoke.
But I had quit for a long time.
I hadn't given up on dealing with Zhou Qi; rather, if I were to do it, it had to be executed by me personally.
……
After returning home, the news about me and Zhou Qi switching cars quickly spread.
In particular, that Mercedes was cleaned inside and out, as if it had washed away some dirt.
When I got out of the car, I also brought out a suitcase.
Was this meant to indicate… I was staying long-term?
In no time, the guards and maids in the villa were all abuzz with gossip.
The next morning, while I was dining in the hall, Zhou Qi suddenly came downstairs.
Hearing his footsteps, I glanced up at him but said nothing.
Zhou Qi sat down across from me.
We still had zero communication.
Until I received a call from Zhou Qiang.
I stood up and walked outside: "Why didn't you answer my call last night?"
"I had something going on," Zhou Qiang replied with a hint of laughter in his voice. "I heard from the maid at home that you took my car?"
"……"
"What happened?"
"……"
I cleared my throat and said, "Zhou Qi's front passenger seat couldn't be used, so I asked him to move to the back seat."
"And then?"
"Then I drove his car while he drove mine."
"……"
Zhou Qiang fell silent for two seconds before suddenly asking, "What about your suitcase?"
"……"
"You're not planning to stay at Zhou Qi's place for long, are you?"
"……"
"Xu Jing, didn't I tell you…"
"I miss you." I interrupted him.
Zhou Qiang paused for a moment and chuckled softly, "Don't I come back every night?"
"But I still miss you," I said. "I really want to be with you every day."
"……"
Zhou Qiang laughed, "Stop messing around."
"I'm not messing around."
"……"
"I really miss you a lot."
"……"
Zhou Qiang was silent for a while and said, "I miss you too."
"When are you coming back?"
"Soon," he said. "As soon as I'm done with things here, I'll come back right away."
"Okay."
I hung up the phone and returned to the dining room, only to find that Zhou Qi was already gone.
At that moment, my phone suddenly vibrated.
I opened it to see a message from Zhou Qi: [Come to my room.]
I put my phone away, didn't reply, and didn't go.
This state of tension lasted for three hours.
Zhou Qi, waiting for me, ended up falling asleep.
So when he woke up and found me in his bed, he was completely bewildered.
