After saying that, Zhou Jingyun took a piece of tissue paper and personally wiped the corner of Jiang Tong’s mouth. He wiped it very carefully and seriously. His gaze was focused on Jiang Tong’s eyes and the corner of her mouth. The smile on his face was calm, but it made people feel that he was very happy at that moment. It could be said that this was the first time Zhou Jingyun showed such an expression and emotion to a woman.
Jiang Tong knew that Zhou Jingyun’s behavior today was because he had finally made up his mind. The events that had happened in the past few days, as well as the most important matter, which was dealing with the Xie family’s board of directors, had made Zhou Jingyun completely understand how powerful and terrifying Jiang Tong was. He even had to admit that Jiang Tong was far stronger than him in some aspects! However, Zhou Jingyun was not Xie Wenkai. He felt that Jiang Tong was stronger than him. The thought that came to him immediately was that this woman was worthy of him! She could be his partner! This was obviously how a strong person thought.
And just now, Jiang Tong and Zhou Jingyun had crossed the line and boundary of their fake relationship. Zhou Jingyun wanted to be serious with Jiang Tong, but it did not mean that he would be in a weak position in this relationship. Between lovers, one side usually had to be strong. However, in the current situation, the strong one was Jiang Tong. But Zhou Jingyun would not give up the ‘strong’ position between lovers to Jiang Tong so easily. For example, wiping Jiang Tong’s mouth was a way to show his dominance.
Jiang Tong knew what Zhou Jingyun was thinking. Of course, she was not worried that she would succumb to Zhou Jingyun’s gentleness. Instead, she found it very interesting.
Half an hour later, in the Lihao Ballroom. In the same suite with an exquisite, elegant, artistic atmosphere and a piano, Zhou Mingfei sat on the sofa and looked at the opposite side with a somewhat anxious expression. Sitting on the sofa opposite him was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He had a wife who had been in a high position for a long time. Zhou Mingfei looked somewhat similar to him.
This man was the father of Zhou Jingyun and Zhou Mingfei and the eldest son of Old Master Zhou, Zhou Anguo, the future head of the Zhou family!
“Is that all? This is all the information you have found?” Zhou Anguo had finished reading the thick stack of information. He looked up at Zhou Mingfei and asked seriously.
“Dad, I’m the same as you. I also feel that something is wrong. I’ve been keeping it from my big brother for a long time. I’ve already asked people to conduct a nationwide investigation,” Zhou Mingfei explained in an emphatic tone. “But even so, I still can’t find any useful information!”
“You mean that the woman your big brother, Zhou Jingyun, has taken a fancy to is from a family that runs a noodle shop? Is this the power behind her? Do you believe it?” said Zhou Anguo as he threw the documents in his hand onto the table. Bang! The documents fell on the table. The sound was very soft, and some of the documents flew out.
Zhou Mingfei stood up abruptly. He was still a little afraid of his father, Zhou Anguo. “Dad, I really…” Zhou Mingfei didn’t know what to say because he had really tried his best. He didn’t investigate Jiang Tong for the sake of the family, he was simply afraid that Zhou Jingyun was deceived. Just as he had said before, this was a different matter. Jiang Tong had saved his life so he was very grateful to Jiang Tong for this matter. On the surface, he called her ‘Sister-in-law’ and treated her very well. However, he had to be wary of others. Of course, he understood such a simple principle! Jiang Tong’s appearance was too sudden. Her ability did not match up with her ordinary family background at all. This meant that there was something wrong with Jiang Tong! This was a big problem!
However, Zhou Mingfei really did his best to investigate. He even got people to investigate the kindergarten that Jiang Tong went to when she was young. He even got Jiang Tong’s birth records. He investigated in such detail, but he still did not find anything wrong with Jiang Tong. This meant that there was a big problem with Jiang Tong! Zhou Mingfei was very clear about this, but he also did not know what the problem with Jiang Tong was.
Zhou Anguo looked at Zhou Mingfei who had stood up expressionlessly. He even suspected that Zhou Mingfei and Zhou Jingyun had joined hands to deceive him, but on second thought, this was impossible! This was because the problem with Jiang Tong was too big. If the two of them had specially arranged this to deal with the family, they would not find a woman with such an ordinary background. The information on Jiang Tong was too ordinary. Zhou Anguo did not think that Zhou Jingyun would find such an ordinary woman! Zhou Jingyun did not even fancy Shao Ying, which showed how high his standards were!
Zhou Anguo picked up the information on the table and looked through it again and again. He could not find any suspicious points, so he paused. He raised his head and said, “There are only two possibilities. First, she is not Jiang Tong. The real Jiang Tong is already dead, so she is assuming Jiang Tong’s identity. Therefore, no matter how hard we investigate, we can’t find out her true identity…”
