The hospital.
In the luxurious private ward, Zuo Zichen was lying on his side.
In fact, the doctor had advised him to go home and rest, but his parents were too worried and forcibly arranged for him to stay in the luxury ward, insisting on observing him for a night before they could feel at ease.
Xu Zhiyi was so distressed: “Son, who beat you like this in the end? Tell Mom!”
Zuo Zichen's voice was muffled: “I fell by myself.”
Xu Zhiyi: “This is clearly a beating. If you don't tell me, I'll go to school to check!”
Zuo Zichen was anxious: “Mom! Can you give me some privacy? And give me some face, okay?"
Xu Zhiyi had to compromise: “Okay, okay, whatever you say.”
At this moment, Zuo Zhiyu's angry shouts came from outside the door.
Xu Zhiyi sneered coldly: “Your sister from the countryside doesn't even know to come and see you. She grew up in a remote rural area, so she has no family education at all.”
Zuo Zichen was rarely silent and didn't say a word.
Zuo Zhiyu's loud phone call could be heard from the beginning of his anger to later starting to persuade gently. The room could hear everything.
Xu Zhiyi frowned, her expression becoming more and more dissatisfied.
Zuo Zichen was apprehensive, somewhat shocked. He didn't know what Quan Zhisui had told Dad that could make Dad's attitude change so much.
Finally, Zuo Zhiyu hung up the phone and walked in.
Xu Zhiyi immediately spoke sarcastically: “Finished talking with your good daughter? Have you forgotten that your son is still lying in the hospital bed?!”
Zuo Zhiyu was very annoyed: “You talk less!”
Xu Zhiyi didn't dare argue with him either, sitting sullenly on the sofa.
Zuo Zhiyu looked at his son and asked the same question as Xu Zhiyi: "Zichen, tell Dad, who at school dared to touch you? Dad will make him lose his hands and feet!"
Zuo Zichen glanced at Zuo Zhiyu, glanced at Xu Zhiyi again, and still didn't say who made his hand broken. Instead, he asked another question: "How much money did you give Quan Zhisui?"
Zuo Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Your sister didn't have money to eat at school, so I gave her 10,000 yuan."
Xu Zhiyi laughed aloud: “What a poor country bumpkin, only daring to ask for 10,000 yuan for living expenses, it's laughable!"
Zuo Zichen also laughed, and felt a little better.
Zuo Zhiyu then seemed to think of something and asked, "By the way son, it's been so long since school started, have you made friends with the young master of the Wei family?"
Zuo Zichen's face suddenly changed, and he shook his head.
Gu Lan asked carefully, "Tired? Drink some milk."
Quan Zhisui drank up the milk in one gulp, and suddenly recalled something. She asked, "Auntie Gu, how long have you been with the Zuo family?"
Gu Lan quickly replied, "A little over three years."
Quan Zhisui nodded and continued to ask, "How much do you know about the Zuo family's affairs?"
Gu Lan was very nervous and answered, "I know everything within three years, but not before that."
Quan Zhisui didn't make things difficult for her, and instead asked, "How many drivers does the Zuo family have?"
Gu Lan answered everything she knew without reservation: “There are three drivers, Zhao Lin, Fang Yue, and Xu Kuang.
Zhao Lin is responsible for sending Young Master Zichen to and from school and serving Madam. Fang Yue has been Master's exclusive driver for twenty years. Xu Kuang is responsible for Old Master and Old Madam."
Quan Zhisui kept twirling her pen and asked, "The two elders are not in Liangxi City these days. Was Xu Kuang free this morning?"
Gu Lan was even starting to sweat as she nodded, "Yes."
Quan Zhisui: “I see, give me their phone numbers.”
Gu Lan heaved a sigh of relief: “Okay Miss Zhisui, do you want to ask Xu Kuang about something?”
She naturally assumed this - among the three drivers except Fang Yue, the other two could coordinate with each other. The young lady was late for school this morning, it was Xu Kuang’s negligence.
But unexpectedly, Quan Zhisui denied and asked back, "What do I want with Xu Kuang?"
Gu Lan looked up and met a pair of bright and clear eyes, as transparent as a mirror that could reflect all sorts of monsters.
She couldn't help reminding: "Xu Kuang's surname is Xu..."
"Oh, so?" Quan Zhisui smiled, "Even if his surname was Zuo I wouldn't look for him."
Gu Lan opened her mouth but didn't speak for a long time.
...
At eleven o'clock at night, Fang Yue sent Zuo Zhiyu and Xu Zhiyi back to the Zuo residence. After seeing them walk through the main entrance, he drove to the underground garage.
At this moment, his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
At first, Fang Yue didn't take it seriously and casually answered the call: “Hello?”
Unexpectedly, a very young voice came from the receiver: “Hello Fang Yue, I’m Quan Zhisui.”
Fang Yue’s heart skipped a beat at that moment!
He had expected the girl to look for him, but didn't expect it to be so soon!
