    Chapter 43 Bureau

    Huayi Hotel 4211, come now, I’ll wait for you.

    This was the content of the text message on Qiu Yimo’s mobile phone interface. The text message came from “Zuo Ning” and the time was 10:40 tonight. Zuo Ning grabbed it and clicked it. He double-checked that it was indeed her number.

    Constantly searching for previous memories in her mind, she suddenly remembered that after entering the hotel lobby, a girl with a sweet smile asked her to borrow her mobile phone.

    The girl said she wanted to send a text message to her family, but of course she didn’t stare at it. Moreover, the girl deleted it after sending it, and she took it for granted.

    In just a moment, Zuo Ning guessed the person who set up this trap.

    Qiu Yibai naturally saw the text message, but he did not have any extreme reaction. He just looked at Zuo Ning quietly and uttered two words: “I believe it.”

    Zuo Ning was not surprised by this, because from Qiu Yibai’s eyes, she could see his confusion and helplessness.

    Different from the anger and despair just now, he now is more like a child who has lost his direction and doesn’t know where to go.

    “Qiu Yibai…”

    “Ning Ning…” Qiu Yibai smiled softly, “Go and take a bath. It’s easy to catch cold if you wear so little. After washing, have a good sleep. Also, today is your safe period. Don’t take the after-effect medicine. He only let you take it once last month, which is harmful to your health.”

    Zuo Ning finally couldn’t help but choked up: “Qiu Yibai…”

    At this moment, she didn’t explore whether he really believed her, nor did she feel aggrieved or sad about being set up. She just felt sorry for the extremely fragile person standing in front of her now.

    “Sorry, I… need some time. I can’t accompany you tonight. You should go to bed early.” He turned around and opened the door, but paused and added softly, “Don’t be afraid, I won’t blame you, and I won’t let you go.”

    From beginning to end, except for that silent stare, he never looked at Qiu Yimo again.

    Until Qiu Yibai’s figure disappeared, Zuo Ning stared at Qiu Yimo coldly: “You did it on purpose. You already knew that Qiu Yibai came in, right?”

    “Is there any difference between knowing earlier and knowing later?” He looked back at her with a calm expression and an indifferent tone.

    “Yes, there is no difference.” Zuo Ning smiled mockingly and pointed at the door, “Mr. Qiu, please come back. I want to rest.”

    Qiu Yimo didn’t move and continued to stare at her: “The first time, you took off your clothes and stood in front of me, begging me to have you; the second time, you sent me a message, dressed like this and waiting for me. There will not be a third time for you to take the initiative, because you have successfully provoked me, and from now on, this game will be controlled by me.”

    Zuo Ning sneered: “A person as sharp as Mr. Qiu really wouldn’t have any doubts about what happened tonight?”

    “I only look at the results, not the process.”

    The door closed heavily, and Qiu Yimo stood in the corridor in a straight suit. His eyes, which had always been sharp and cold, lost their luster for the first time, becoming dim and lonely.

    “Sorry.”

    The word “low” escaped from his throat, but he didn’t know whether he was meant for Zuo Ning or Qiu Yibai.

    Before he could go into the bathroom to wash away the lustful smell, Zuo Ning’s phone rang. It was an unfamiliar mobile number.

    “Miss Zuo, how are you?”

    Hearing this voice, Zuo Ning was not surprised at all: “Is Chairman Qiu, who has been in the shopping mall for many years, just using this little trick? Aren’t you afraid that your reputation will be ruined by setting up such a trap full of loopholes?”

    “The process is not important, the result is the key.” As expected of a father and son, they even spoke like this, “I don’t care at all whether Qiu Yibai will expose me, because what I want him to see is just the result. No one forced me with a gun, and no one drugged me, but you and Qiu Yimo didn’t control it, which shows the problem.”

    “So you involved both of your sons in this scheme? The WeChat message Qiu Yibai sent me must have been written by Chairman Qiu, right? He was at home at that time, and it was easy for you to take his mobile phone. Of course, there are also the clothes you specially arranged, which look very expensive. Chairman Qiu is really generous.”

    “The overall situation is important, no matter how much money you spend, it is worth it.”

    “That’s right. You’ve even plotted against your own son. What else can’t you do? I’m just curious. In order to force the younger son away and send the older son away, aren’t you afraid of getting one but losing the other?”

    “As I said before, I understand my son. Qiu Yibai will never want you again, and Qiu Yimo will never marry you.”

    After hanging up the phone, Zuo Ning huddled on the sofa disheveled, holding the phone in trance.

    She is not worried that something will happen to Qiu Yibai. After all, Qiu Guoping can set up this trap and can definitely ensure the safety of his son.

    Zuo Ning just suddenly remembered someone.

    It seems that it was when she was in fifth grade. One day after school, she quietly ran to the villa that she had found after asking for more than half a year, and successfully stopped the owner of the villa.

    She asked the man in an angry tone why he didn’t recognize her and why he didn’t want her.

    The man was not angry, he just stood quietly in front of her, looked down at her, and said slowly: “If you follow me, you must abide by my rules of the game. Since she dares to give birth to a child without telling me, she must accept the punishment for violating the rules.”

    At that time, Zuo Ning, who was less than 1.5 meters tall, said something to him for the first time in an imposing manner: “She is the one who doesn’t follow the rules, not me.”

    The man’s expression remained unchanged, and he said one word at a time: “According to the rules, you shouldn’t have been born.”

    The courage that Zuo Ning finally mustered up completely collapsed at that moment.

    Then she heard the man’s voice again: “Your mother is more obedient than you, so she is still alive and well. If you are still ignorant, I can’t guarantee what the consequences will be. So, be obedient and go back to where you should be. Never show up here again. Forget the relationship between you and me. I have no relationship with you.”

    The man in his memory is really very similar to Qiu Guoping now.

    They are all so aloof, and they all think they can control everything, as if everyone is just a lifeless and emotionless chess piece in their hands, which can be threatened, calculated, and played with at will.
