Lawyer Jian looked at Director Zhou inquiringly.
Director Zhou answered quite honestly, "An informant sent me a message saying she'd uncovered some important intelligence and wanted me to come over to discuss it in detail."
Jian Shuyue nodded and said softly, "Then you'd better go. Stay safe!"
As an excellent girlfriend and a capable partner, she had to avoid prying into her boyfriend's work, given the special, sensitive, and confidential nature of his profession.
Zhou Yi, however, said unhurriedly, "Let me make a call first!"
Under their agreement, he wasn't supposed to call Li Ruoyun first. But since she'd asked him to hurry over to Golden Wind Villa, that meant no one else was home with her at the moment. In that case, what harm could a call do?
Zhou Yi immediately found Miss Li Ruoyun's number and dialed. After roughly a dozen seconds, the call connected.
"I already texted you. Why are you calling?" Li Ruoyun's voice came through the phone, slightly hoarse, as though she had a cold.
"Safety first. Better safe than sorry. What if someone else sent the text?" Finally reassured, Zhou Yi spoke as though joking.
"You're really overthinking it! All right, hurry over!" Li Ruoyun chuckled, then hung up.
She turned to stare at Xie Bingkun and said resolutely, "My life, plus Zhou Yi's-you can have them both! Now let my son go!"
Xie Bingkun gave a sinister smile. "You're usually so clever, yet you're being foolish now. Congcong may not be my biological son, but he still carries the Xie Family's blood. How could I hurt him? Once you're dead, Congcong will never learn the secret of his parentage. He'll be my biological son! Heh, heh, heh. Isn't that right?"
Li Ruoyun's expression shifted several times. After a long silence, she sighed faintly.
