Feast for Shengsheng

Chapter 862 Zhou Yi, You Forced Me to Do This

Then Zhou Yi left without looking back.

"Zhou Yi, aren't you afraid you'll regret it one day?" Xu Jia asked directly.

But Zhou Yi did not reply.

Xu Jia was left standing there alone, her face cold and expressionless.

Until Zhou Yi could no longer see.

Xu Jia's expression didn't soften.

She clenched her fists tightly, then picked up her phone, dialed a number, and calmly gave the order.

"Submit the information and notify the police to come," Xu Jia said cruelly.

Xu Jia hung up the phone quickly.

She kept looking in the direction Zhou Yi had left, saying each word clearly: "Zhou Yi, you forced me to do this. I gave you a chance."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Jia lowered her eyes.

“You will definitely come back and beg me. At that time, the initiative will no longer be in your hands, but in mine.”

After Xu Jia finished speaking, she left Xiangshan Temple without looking back.

Xiangshan Temple fell silent.

Zhou Yi returned to his room, and Wen Ning looked at him but didn't ask him anything.

Zhou Yi had already taken the initiative to tell Wen Ning what had happened before.

"Don't worry. Everything is under my control from now on, isn't it? Xu Jia is only contacting me to threaten me, using her ability to help me resolve this as leverage. But in reality, I don't need it, do I?"

Zhou Yi reassured Wen Ning, "No matter what happens, it's all under control. As long as Xu Jia takes the initiative, everything will return to normal."

Wen Ning hummed.

But when she looked at Zhou Yi, the worry in her eyes did not ease.

"I can't quite explain why, but I always feel there's something about this that neither you nor I have considered," she said, expressing her concerns.

"Wen Ning, we'll deal with whatever comes our way, and things will work themselves out. No matter how much you think, you can't predict the future. Just keep everything within your control," Zhou Yi said calmly.

This calmness largely soothed Wen Ning's mind.

Wen Ning nodded.

"Want to go to a hot spring?" Zhou Yi changed the subject.

"Okay." Wen Ning nodded.

As Wen Ning got up to prepare for her hot spring bath, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

In the quiet of the night, such footsteps sound exceptionally clear, making one's nerves tense.

Zhou Yi looked towards the door of the side room.

There was a knock on the door.

"I'll go take a look," Zhou Yi replied.

Wen Ning lost interest and looked towards the entrance of the side room.

Then, the door to the side room was opened, and the host walked in with several policemen.

"Mr. Zhou, the police are looking for you. They say they have a case and need your cooperation in the investigation," the host said tactfully.

Wen Ning frowned.

But knowing this was part of the plan, Wen Ning remained calm.

On the surface, Wen Ning also quickly stepped forward.

"Can I know what happened?" Wen Ning looked at the police.

The police were relatively polite to Wen Ning and Zhou Yi, nodding and telling them the truth.

"Mr. Zhou is involved in multiple financial crimes, so he needs to cooperate with the investigation. There are too many cases involved," the police officer said succinctly.

Wen Ning knew immediately.

This is the recent case of the Zhou Group's financial collapse.

Each case involves hundreds of millions of yuan.

The evidence submitted by Xu Jia is why the police came to find Zhou Yi.

Adding to this the fact that Zhou Yi resigned to take responsibility, it seems as if he fled to avoid punishment.

Wen Ning knew very well that if Zhou Yi was arrested, Xu Jia would negotiate with him.

Zhou Yi will refuse.

Xu Jia will then take action.

If Xu Jia makes any move, Zhou Yi's previous plans will be completely overturned.

Xu Jia was eventually apprehended.

Wen Ning didn't respond, she just watched.

Zhou Yi turned to the police and said, "I need to say a few words to my wife."

Wen Ning was addressed as "Madam".

The police were very polite to Zhou Yi, nodding before quickly retreating outside the room.

The door to the side room was closed again.

Zhou Yi looked at Wen Ning: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. It'll be at most a week. My people are at Xiangshan Temple; they'll take you back later. If you want to stay here for a week, that's fine too. At least it's quiet here."

As Zhou Yi spoke, he naturally tucked a strand of hair that had fallen onto Wen Ning's cheek behind her ear.

“Sui Sui will be fine with Nan Sheng.” Zhou Yi knew what Wen Ning was worried about.

Wen Ning hummed in agreement: "I'll stay here, be quiet."

"Okay." Zhou Yi nodded. "Take care of yourself. If anything happens, contact your assistant. He's always available."

"Okay." Wen Ning responded.

Zhou Yi then released Wen Ning without saying anything.

Wen Ning didn't follow him out, but watched Zhou Yi calmly leave the room.

The police outside took Zhou Yi away.

Very low-key.

Since it was nighttime and there were no tourists, there were naturally no reporters lying in wait.

Everything was silent.

But Wen Ning knew that Xu Jia wouldn't let this matter rest so quietly.

This news will spread throughout the entire capital before dawn tomorrow.

Zhou Yi was arrested.

And that confirmed Su Daji's guilt.

Therefore, under these circumstances, it is the safest course of action for Wen Ning to stay at the temple.

In addition, Wen Suisui and Nan Sheng were together, which helped them avoid this matter.

Wen Ning gradually calmed down amidst these thoughts.

Standing by the window of the side room, she saw the police leading Zhou Yi down the mountain. Zhou Yi got into the car, and the police car left Xiangshan Temple.

Wen Ning barely slept that night.

It wasn't until dawn that Wen Ning leaned against the bed and drifted off to sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, Xiangshan Temple was once again filled with the smoke of incense.

She checked her phone immediately, and sure enough, it was just as she had predicted.

The above are all news reports about Zhou Yi's arrest.

There's also the controlled public opinion, with everyone claiming to be Su Daji and that they ruined Zhou Yi.

When Wen Ning saw these messages, he remained remarkably calm.

Instead, Sheng Weiwei was extremely angry and immediately called Wen Ning.

"How could this happen? Xu Jia is such a despicable woman." Sheng Weiwei disliked Xu Jia intensely.

Wen Ning lowered her eyes and said, "It's alright, Zhou Yi will handle it."

Sheng Weiwei didn't react for a moment and continued to vent her emotions by cursing and swearing.

Under these circumstances, Wen Ning listened quietly as Sheng Weiwei finished her rant.

Sheng Weiwei then noticed that Wen Ning had remained silent the whole time.

"You're not worried at all?" Sheng Weiwei realized something.

“He’s been in the business world for so long, how could he be so easily outmaneuvered?” Wen Ning didn’t elaborate further.

Sheng Weiwei has high emotional intelligence, so she naturally noticed the clues.

So she nodded, quite directly: "That's good. I was just worried that something might go wrong, which would be a real problem."

Wen Ning hummed.

"That woman should be arrested. Keeping her around is just a menace. And she framed you back then. She can't be let off the hook." Sheng Weiwei still felt disgusted when she thought about what happened back then.

"Weiwei, you have a good relationship with the media, right?" Wen Ning asked.

“That’s overseas, not domestic.” Sheng Weiwei was quite direct. “Just tell me, and I’ll help if I can.”

"Okay." Wen Ning nodded.
