If that's the case, then Zhou Yi'an is a sinner!
It would be a shame not to send them to the police station for a few years.
Xu Qingzhu continued, "Mr. Zhou is working for the people and for lasting peace, and what are you doing as his daughter? You are disregarding human life! You are tarnishing his reputation! You are casting a dark shadow on his otherwise upright career. Your reckless behavior shows that you disregard the criminal law of China, that you despise human life and the law. Even though I am just an insignificant ordinary citizen, I can see Mr. Zhou's contributions. He works hard for the people, and you are ruining his reputation. I feel sorry for him."
These words elevated the entire matter to a whole new level.
Even Zhou's father, who was standing behind, couldn't help but get angry.
He usually kept a low profile and worked diligently, but his beloved daughter was making enemies for him everywhere.
This is simply unbearable.
Xu Qingzhu finally let out a heavy sigh, "I believe Miss Zhou will not let us go because of what happened today, but we are not afraid. After all, I believe that justice will prevail and the law will prevail. If we are ever unfortunately murdered, Miss Zhou will definitely be the police's first suspect."
Zhou Yi'an: "..."
"Fuck!" Zhou Yi'an cursed angrily.
Zhou's father had already left and did not stand up to speak for Zhou Yi'an.
Everyone understood that Mr. Zhou had given up on Zhou Yi'an.
Just as Liang Xinhe was about to step forward, Liang Xinzhou, who had been silent all along, spoke first, "Although my Liang family is just a business, it doesn't mean that anyone can bully us. Even if my sister does something wrong, it's up to our family to handle it. If she breaks the law, then the law will naturally punish her. I don't know what kind of vigilante justice Miss Zhou is resorting to? Is this still the 21st century?"
Zhou Yi'an: "..."
Liang Xinzhou said, "If anything happens to my sister in the future, the first person my Liang family will suspect will definitely be Miss Zhou."
"Why should I?" Zhou Yi'an frowned. "Are you all crazy?!"
“Because you have a precedent,” Liang Xinhe and Liang Xinzhou said at the same time.
Once the farce was over, Liang Xinhe lowered his voice and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you pregnant?"
Xu Qingzhu remained calm, "I was just lying to her."
The elderly and children are often the most effective at stirring up emotions.
Liang Xinhe: "..."
I never would have guessed that my seemingly gentle and weak sister-in-law could kill without a knife.

As Liang Shi was being helped inside by a waiter, Qiu Zimin and the others came out of the room.
The group had been playing mahjong all night and were now quite tired, so they decided to find a place to rest.
Seeing Liang Shi being helped in, Qiu Zimin's expression immediately changed. "What happened?"
"No..." Liang Shi maintained her frail appearance.
A waiter standing nearby replied, "The Third Miss just fell into the water."
Qiu Zimin immediately stepped aside, "Help Miss to rest, and tell someone to make a bowl of ginger and brown sugar water."
The waiter nodded. "Okay."
"Is this A-Shi?" a female voice suddenly rang out.
Liang Shi saw Qiu Zimin's shoulders twitch, then he turned and put on a fawning smile, "Yes, Mrs. Qi."
The woman addressed as Mrs. Qi was wearing a light blue cheongsam that perfectly accentuated her graceful waistline. She wore a jade bracelet on her arm and walked unhurriedly to Liang Shi's side. She raised her hand to stroke Liang Shi's face and said, "It's been a long time. You've grown so much."
This arm gave Liang Shi a strong sense of familiarity.
She frowned and looked away.
"It's been a long time," Mrs. Qi said with a smile. "Has Ah Shi already forgotten me?"
Her fingers were painted with bright red nail polish. "Then I'll be heartbroken."
Liang Shi frowned slightly, and a memory suddenly popped into his mind.
This is the jade bracelet.
It was this hand that pulled her into the dimly lit room, stripped her young clothes off, and made her stand facing the wall as punishment.
To be precise, it was the original owner.
The lingering fear within this body awakened at this moment, causing it to shudder involuntarily.
Liang Shi remained silent and did not answer her question.
Mrs. Qi said, "Alright, we'll have a proper chat another time. Let's go change your clothes."
As she spoke, she swept her hand across Liang Shi's chest, "Our Shi has grown up."
Liang Shi: "..."
//
The memories that had inexplicably surfaced earlier made Liang Shi somewhat annoyed.
She went back to her room to change into casual clothes, and a little while later Xu Qingzhu also came in.
Xu Qingzhu was quite imposing when she first entered, but after closing the door, she leaned against it and kept trying to catch her breath.
Liang Shi asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Qingzhu: "...I just did something big."
Liang Shi: "Hmm?"
Xu Qingzhu: "I hit Zhou Yi'an."
Liang Shi was shocked: "What?"
"Let's take the risk," Xu Qingzhu said. "It can be considered a success, at least it will have some deterrent effect."
Moreover, this move successfully brought Liang Xinzhou and Liang Xinhe into their camp, and the Liang family will protect them, so it's not a bad deal.
Liang Shi suddenly regretted not staying to watch earlier.
Xu Qingzhu took a long time to calm down, but the first question she asked was, "Was that what you were acting just now?"
Liang Shi: "..."
It was an act.
But how should she say it?
If she admits it, wouldn't she be considered a scoundrel, deliberately taking advantage of Xu Qingzhu?
Her silence spoke volumes.
Xu Qingzhu looked at her and said calmly, "You're quite the actress."
Liang Shi: "...I can explain."
Xu Qingzhu: "I don't want to hear it."
Liang Shi: "Why don't you listen to it?"
Xu Qingzhu: "Then you tell me."
Liang Shi: "..."
I suddenly found myself at a loss for words.
However, Xu Qingzhu didn't care about this. She just said, "You don't need to misunderstand. Even if it was someone else who fell into the water just now, I would still save them."
Liang Shi: "..."
*Splat*
My heart is a little broken.
“I know,” Liang Shi said. “You’re beautiful inside and out, so do you want to change your clothes now? There are some in the closet, but they might be a bit too big.”
The clothes provided here are all Alpha sizes, which are a bit too big for Omega.
Xu Qingzhu nodded.
She took a T-shirt and casual pants from the closet, wrung out the water from her hair, and froze as she was about to take off her evening gown. She almost forgot that there was someone else in the room.
Liang Shi was also aware of this, so she turned her back to them and said, "You change, I won't look."
Xu Qingzhu reached out and unzipped the back of her dress.
People who have lost their sight have more acute hearing, so Liang Shi could hear Xu Qingzhu pull down the zipper, the dress fell to the ground, and then spread out the T-shirt to find the front and back, and put it over her head.
I could almost tell every step by ear, which made me even more eager to try it, so I simply covered my ears.
Soon, Xu Qingzhu said, "I'm done changing."
Liang Shi then turned around, but Xu Qingzhu said, "By the way, did you see that woman in the cheongsam just now?"
"Mrs. Qi?" Liang Shi asked.
"I don't know," Xu Qingzhu said. "She just saw me and said some strange things."
"What did you say?"
"She said she never expected Ah Shi to marry someone like that; he does resemble Jiao Jiao somewhat." Xu Qingzhu repeated her words, then asked Liang Shi, "Who is Jiao Jiao?"
Liang Shi: "..."
If she knew, then something was amiss.
Xu Qingzhu didn't make things difficult for her, and then a servant brought over ginger tea.
They both drank it.
//
Perhaps because he had met Mrs. Qi, Liang Shi had a nightmare that night.
In the dream, the background was dim, and it was that closed room again. She walked in in her own form and saw the original owner of the body as a child.
The original owner was crying, but when she heard the sound, she turned around and saw that she was actually smiling foolishly.
That laugh was eerie.
Liang Shi laughed so hard he got goosebumps all over.
The little girl, who hadn't yet developed, wasn't particularly attractive, but she had obvious signs of abuse on her body.
