Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 1371: Zhou Family and HZ International Alliance

Views:

Wen Xinya and Zhou Tianyu have known each other for six years, and this is the first time she has seen Zhou Tianyu break down and cry like this. There was no screaming in agony, only silent and surging tears, the choking and sobbing sounds in her throat, and a face full of grief.

Gu Junlin lived a life of drunkenness and dreams.

Zhou Tianyu was desperate and in pain.

All this made Wen Xinya feel extremely sad and uncomfortable.

Zhou Tianyu was worried about Gu Junlin, so Wen Xinya sent her to Gu Junlin's apartment.

Although Gu Junlin had fallen asleep, he did not sleep well. His face was red and he was talking nonsense. It was Zhou Tianyu who discovered that Gu Junlin had a fever of 39.8 degrees, which scared everyone.

Especially Zhou Tianyu, his face was pale and he looked distraught, no one knew what he was thinking.

Ling Qingxuan called a doctor, who gave Gu Junlin an IV drip, left some pills and left. However, before leaving, he told them to take good care of him. Although he had only caught a cold from drinking, the illness was quite severe and should not be taken lightly.

After all this trouble, Wen Xinya was so tired that she felt weak all over. When she looked at the time, it was already past two in the morning.

Wen Xinya always wanted to ask Zhou Tianyu why she insisted on going abroad, but after thinking about it, she finally held back. Zhou Tianyu had just broken down and cried, and her emotions had been unstable. She didn't want to stimulate her, so she let her think about it alone.

Wen Xinya walked out of the apartment slowly. It was late at night and very cold. She shivered all over and then she realized that she was only wearing a thin coat.

"Next time you go out at night, remember to wear more clothes." Si Yiyan draped a sable fur coat over her shoulders, hugged her in his arms, and tucked her cold hands into his clothes.

Wen Xinya leaned in Si Yiyan's arms, his body shielding her from the cold wind. Her frozen hands pressed against his warm skin, the interweaving of ice and heat, her blood seemed to boil all of a sudden, and she felt a burning comfort.

Perhaps because she had witnessed the misfortunes of Zhou Tianyu and Gu Junlin with her own eyes, Wen Xinya was particularly deeply touched at this moment. She suddenly felt very happy and satisfied.

This is probably also the feeling that the years are peaceful and life is not peaceful.

Si Yiyan took Wen Xinya into the car, fastened her seat belt, then took out a moisturizing cup and poured her a bowl of hot soup: "Drink a bowl of hot soup to cool down!"

After tossing and turning all night, she must be cold and hungry now.

Wen Xinya took the hot soup, and her stomach made a gurgling sound. She couldn't help but blush: "I just had a bowl of porridge at Junlin's place, but I didn't expect that I wasn't hungry at all."

The hot soup warmed up Wen Xinya's blood as it entered her mouth. The coldness in her body was driven away bit by bit. The delicious soup went into her stomach, satisfying her empty stomach. She couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing that her pale face finally had a hint of color, Si Yiyan held her hand, which was no longer as cold as before: "Zhou Tianyu's insistence on going abroad is not that simple."

He had been investigating the Zhou family during this period and was well aware of their every move, so he naturally knew that Zhou Tianyu had decided to go abroad. However, he had not had the chance to tell Xinya because Gu Junlin made a fuss first.

Wen Xinya became excited: "Did the Zhou family find any clues?"

The reason why she didn't ask Zhou Tianyu further was that she wanted to first see the results of Si Yiyan's investigation into the Zhou family. Once she had a rough idea in her mind, she would be more confident in dealing with Zhou Tianyu.

Otherwise, such confused questioning might backfire accidentally, and it would be disastrous.

Si Yiyan had mentioned before that the investigation into the Zhou family's affairs had made some progress. She believed Si Yiyan, so she remained calm.

"Do you remember what I told you before, that the HZ International Alliance has deep roots in the capital, and has even infiltrated some powerful families?" While driving, Si Yiyan turned his head to glance at Wen Xinya and dropped a bombshell.

Wen Xinya was shocked and her voice became unnaturally high: "You mean..."

The following words seemed to be stuck in her throat. She could neither swallow nor spit them out. She felt uncomfortable and a sour feeling spread from her throat to her whole body. She felt cold for no reason.

Si Yiyan knew that she was a little bit unbelievable, and said in a calm voice: "You guessed right, the Zhou family is one of the families infiltrated by the HZ International Alliance. According to my investigation, the Zhou family has been infiltrated by the HZ International Alliance for nearly ten years."

The Wen family's entertainment city project allowed him to trace back to the fact that the power of the HZ International Alliance had infiltrated the powerful families in the capital. He privately investigated some of the powerful families and wealthy families in the capital, but the capital was originally a gathering place for the powerful people of Country Z. It was quite difficult to investigate these powerful people without making a fuss and without alerting the enemy. Even if he had a wide network of contacts, the investigation process did not go smoothly.

So, he has been waiting for an opportunity.

And this was the opportunity when Xinya asked him to investigate the Zhou family.

Originally, he did not suspect the Zhou family, and he investigated the Zhou family only at Xinya's request. But soon, he found something unusual in the results of the investigation into the Zhou family.

This kind of unusualness, in the eyes of anyone, is insignificant and will not attract attention, let alone be cared about, even by the most authoritative international detective experts, but Si Yiyan is not one of them.

As a person who has been studying various materials of the HZ International Alliance for nearly ten years, he has formed a conditioned reflex to the style of action of the HZ International Alliance. This sensitivity is derived from the sixth sense of human beings, which is invisible and intangible, just like when a person is familiar with something, he can complete it without thinking.

He smelled something unusual, so he was more cautious in his investigation. Since he didn't find any useful clues at first, he didn't tell Xinya. The main reason was that he was worried that Xinya would be too concerned about her friend and eventually alert the enemy.

It’s not that I don’t trust her, but because Xinya is too sentimental.

Wen Xinya took a deep breath. She had never expected that the result of Si Yiyan's investigation would be like this: "So this is the truth of everything. No wonder..."

In this way, all the doubts in her mind were explained.

Zhou Tianyu must be aware of the Zhou family's situation. In order not to implicate Gu Junlin, she has been unwilling to accept Gu Junlin. Because she knows better than anyone that if she is with Gu Junlin, the Gu family will inevitably be infiltrated by this organization and Gu Junlin will not have a good ending.

Gu Junlin's feelings for Zhou Tianyu became more and more unbridled, making Tianyu almost unable to control her emotions, so she decided to escape in such a hurry.
