The demon master was beaten up

Chapter 225 The mastermind behind the scenes

Hearing this, Zhang Jingxu's expression suddenly darkened. His once bright eyes turned cold, gleaming with a glacial glint. After a moment's silence, he suddenly gritted his teeth and spat out three words: "Could it be... Zhou Yutong?"

Bai Nini snorted coldly and responded in a cold tone: "Except for that woman, I really can't think of anyone else in this world who can hate us so much! She has always been at odds with Qin Nuo and me, and I don't know how many obstacles she has put in our way, both openly and secretly. If it is really her, she will never give up until she achieves her goal!" After that, she couldn't help but sigh softly, her heart full of helplessness and resentment.

Zhang Jingxu nodded solemnly to show that he understood, then immediately took out his cell phone and arranged for someone to investigate Zhou Yutong's situation.

At this tense moment, Jiang Zitao rushed over. He was breathless, but his face was filled with excitement. He couldn't wait to speak, "The private detectives have news. They've found the people who attacked Xiao Nuo that day. They're just a bunch of low-class thugs. According to them, a woman paid them to wait at a designated location and attack Xiao Nuo."

Hearing this, Qin Nuo couldn't help but frown and asked anxiously, "Brother Zitao, has the woman whose back looks like Nini been found?"

Jiang Zitao sighed helplessly, shook his head, and replied, "Well, after some investigation, we found out that the woman was actually a student at a film and television academy. She said someone contacted her and wanted to invite her to film a TV series and pay her 1,000 yuan as compensation. From beginning to end, she always believed that she was just playing an insignificant supporting role."

Jiang Zitao extended his slender fingers and gently flipped open the thick folder on the table. With the rustling sound of the papers being flipped, a sheet of pure white paper gradually appeared before everyone's eyes. On it was a sketch drawn in pencil, the lines simple and smooth.

Jiang Zitao pointed at the portrait and said, "This is drawn according to her description. This mysterious woman was wearing a hat and a large mask, which covered most of her face tightly, so we can only barely draw her eyebrows and eyes through the exposed parts." After saying this, he frowned slightly, as if he felt a little regretful that he could not fully depict the woman's face.

Qin Nuo, standing nearby, quickly leaned forward to examine it more closely. His deep eyes were fixed on the portrait, taking in every detail. After a moment, he raised his head, handed the portrait to Bai Nini, who was standing nearby, and said solemnly, "The more I look at these eyes, the more they seem to resemble Anna's." As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell into a deep silence, as if time had frozen in time.

At this moment, a crisp ringtone suddenly broke the silence. It turned out to be the phone in Zhang Jingxu's pocket that rang. He took out his phone and saw the screen showing an incoming call from his assistant in Beijing. Zhang Jingxu's heart tightened and he quickly pressed the answer button.

An assistant's anxious voice came from the other end of the line, reporting some information to him. Zhang Jingxu listened quietly, his face gradually becoming gloomy. After a long while, he finally couldn't help but shout, "Humph! It seems that the lessons we gave them before were too lenient! In that case, don't blame me for being rude! From this moment on, I will completely suppress their business and let them know the consequences of offending me!" After saying that, he hung up the phone angrily.

After putting down his phone, Zhang Jingxu was still furious. He muttered to himself indignantly, "As expected, these guys who spread rumors and caused trouble online are the ones from that foreign trade company! And the leader is that abominable Mr. Wang! Back then, Zhou Haoyang actually sent Zhou Yutong to him as a mistress. There must be some hidden conspiracy. I even suspect that this time, Zhou Yutong and Mr. Wang are conspiring to retaliate against us! But it doesn't matter. This time, I will definitely not be soft-hearted!"

Time flew by, and it was afternoon, the sun still blazing down. The private detective hired by Xu Chen and Jiang Zitao lived up to expectations, successfully leading the police officers to Zhou Yutong and Anna's whereabouts. It turned out that the two had long sensed the situation was dire and hurriedly fled to another city. However, no matter how fast they ran, they could not escape the clutches of their pursuers.

When Xu Chen and his team finally found Zhou Yutong and Anna, they were huddled in a corner, their eyes terrified, trembling like two frightened birds. Clearly, they were completely unprepared for the sudden arrest.

Xu Chen looked at Zhou Yutong grimly, his eyes flashing with coldness as he asked coldly, "You set up this trap to frame Qin Nuo. Was it really just to deal with Shenghai Group and Zhang Group? When your Zhou Group was in trouble, our chairman offered a helping hand without hesitation! But who could have imagined that you would be so ungrateful and repay kindness with hatred!"

At this point, Zhou Yutong was firmly restrained by several burly bodyguards brought by Xu Chen, unable to break free. Her face was filled with anger and resentment, her emotions nearly uncontrollable as she screamed at the top of her lungs, "I never intended to harm Shenghai Group! I did all this simply because someone told me Qin Nuo and Bai Nini had obtained their marriage certificate! At that moment, my heart was filled with jealousy! Bai Nini is just an orphan with no one to rely on, and what about me? I come from a prominent family and graduated from a prestigious university. In terms of family background, education, and appearance, every aspect is a hundred times better than hers! But why is fate so unfair? How can she easily become the young mistress of Shenghai Group and enjoy wealth and glory, while I can only suffer here? I really can't accept this!"

Xu Chen keenly grasped the key message in Zhou Yutong's words. He frowned and pressed on, his tone becoming increasingly stern. "Someone else? Who told you all this? With your current strength and means, it's impossible for you to plan and carry out such a conspiracy on your own. If you refuse to truthfully reveal the mastermind behind this, Shenghai Group will never let you go easily. They might even send you to prison to accompany your already imprisoned brother!"
