She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Chapter 951

I am not surprised that Zhou Hanzhi knew that I went to Shan Province to find Zhao Feihan. It must have been Wu Ling who told him.

But I was surprised that he could find Zhao Feihan in such a short time and determine his location: "You..."

"I have a friend in Shan Province who happens to be familiar with the Yuan family." His tone was calm. "The person is now under our surveillance. After we arrive, we can see him directly."

It turned out to be the case.

I couldn't help but sigh: "I never thought that Mr. Zhou had so many friends."

Zeng Zhi, who was driving in the front seat, took over my conversation: "Sister-in-law, Brother Zhou doesn't have many friends, but as long as it's your business, Brother Zhou will always find a way to ask his friends to help him. He spent a lot of money on this..."

However, before he could finish his words, Zhou Hanzhi interrupted him: "Stop talking too much, drive your car."

What did you spend a lot of money on? A lot of effort?

My heart moved and I stared at Zhou Hanzhi's face, trying to find some information from this haggard yet calm face.

But I couldn't find it. Zhou Hanzhi's face was always so calm, with only a cluster of flames flashing in the bottom of his dark eyes, reflecting on my face, making me feel safe and secure.

His tone was still calm: "You don't have to worry now, get some good sleep, you will wear yourself out if you keep on like this."

Indeed, after Zhou Hanzhi told me that Zhao Feihan had been controlled by his people, my tense nerves relaxed, fatigue attacked all over my body, and I suddenly felt tired.

But I couldn't sleep. As soon as I closed my eyes, Ono's face appeared in front of me.

The pale and quiet face lying on the bed in the morgue was as fragile and thin as a piece of paper, which would break with the slightest poke.

Always by my side, warming me, shining on me and embracing me, my little sun has fallen.

I didn't want to accept this fact, because I simply couldn't bear it. Before, there was a force supporting me. I wanted to avenge Ono, so I couldn't cry and couldn't be weak.

But at this moment, I sat in the spacious and quiet carriage, closed my eyes, and tears flowed uncontrollably. Pain and regret intertwined and hit me, and I hated myself.

If it weren't for me, Xiao Ye wouldn't have been killed. It was me who caused Zhao Feihan to attack him.

Why do people know how to cherish after they lose something? I regret that I didn't treat Xiaoye better, didn't make him happier, and I even didn't fulfill the obligations of a fiancée...

I hugged my arms, just like Ono had hugged me countless times. The car was still quiet, with only my occasional uncontrollable sobs. I forgot about Zhou Hanzhi and Zeng Zhi beside me and was completely immersed in the memories of Ono.

But I fell asleep without realizing it, and when I woke up again, I couldn't open my eyes because there was a hand on my face.

A soft, slender hand is covering my eyes, with a familiar touch and a familiar breath. This is Zhou Hanzhi's hand.

I gently moved his hand away so that I could open my eyes smoothly, but I was stunned when I saw the situation clearly.

I actually fell asleep on Zhou Hanzhi's legs, with his coat still covering me. At this moment, he was sleeping quietly on the armrest, with his chin supported by his other arm.

It should have been early morning. The car stopped at the service area. A ray of orange sunlight shone in from the window, reflecting in my eyes and on his face.

I looked up at his angular face, his dark chin, his drooping eyebrows, and his dense eyelashes, and was in a trance for a moment.

I was restless last night. How did I fall asleep? How did I rest my head on Zhou Hanzhi's legs? Why did he put his hands on my eyes?

Is it because I am too tired, or is it because I feel safe next to him and can relax and fall asleep?

My action of getting up seemed to alarm Zhou Hanzhi. He opened his eyes and subconsciously supported my shoulders: "Are you awake? Are you cold?"

He put his coat on me and only wore a thin black shirt, but he still asked me if I was cold.

Is he stupid?

"Sister-in-law, are you awake? Here is the water that Brother Zhou asked me to prepare for you. Would you like to have a sip?" Zeng Zhi turned around from the front row, holding a thermos cup in both hands.

I was stunned again and turned to look at Zhou Hanzhi.

But then Zeng Zhi smiled and said, "Brother Zhou is very considerate. He was afraid that you would not sleep well, so he even shielded your eyes for you."

It turned out that it was to block the light for me so that I could sleep better.

My heart was moved again, but I didn't let this wave of emotion spread. I quickly regained my composure and quickly distanced myself from Zhou Hanzhi, saying politely and restrainedly, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou. Have we reached Shan Province yet?"

I didn't forget my purpose. The reason I got into Zhou Hanzhi's car was just to find Zhao Feihan as soon as possible and catch the murderer who killed Xiao Ye, not because I had any other ideas about Zhou Hanzhi.

Even though Lin Xixi had been sent to prison, even though my father and Wu Ling had said that Zhou Hanzhi had played a role in fueling the situation, even though I had doubts in my heart, wondering if my previous judgment was wrong.

But I still have no thoughts about Zhou Hanzhi, and I won’t make the same mistake again.

Something seemed to disappear in Zhou Hanzhi's eyes, but his tone remained steady: "We have entered the Shan Province. We will reach the Yuan family's old house in another half an hour."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhou." I returned the suit jacket covering my body to him, still being polite and distant.

But even after I returned the coat to him, I could still smell his scent, a cold, woody fragrance.

Wrapped around me, lingering around me.

Zeng Zhi restarted the car. I tried to calm myself down and look natural, and asked a question as if nothing had happened: "Why are you helping me?"

This is not a question I asked casually, but it is something I have always wondered about.

Zhou Hanzhi and Xiaoye don’t have a good relationship. They have fought and he also prevented me and Xiaoye from getting married. It’s no exaggeration to say that they are enemies.

But why after Xiao Ye got into trouble, Zhou Hanzhi actually stepped forward to help me find the whereabouts of the murderer, and personally sent me to Shan Province to meet Zhao Feihan?

Why would he do this?

Zhou Hanzhi turned his head but did not answer my question. He just looked at me quietly with his dark eyes. There were waves of ink in his eyes, as if there were complex emotions churning, and intense feelings surging.

I suddenly regretted asking that question because I couldn't look him in the eyes at that moment.

Perhaps, I already know the answer.

But I don’t want to believe it, nor do I dare to believe that answer.

He handed me the thermos cup of water and said calmly as always: "Drink some water."

Half an hour later, I met Zhao Feihan.
