Song Zhen stared at her without blinking!
As for those clichéd stories that Gu Yibo had told him, Song Zhen wasn't clear on the details.
He just felt that Zhuang Xiuya being able to seduce the Gu family brother without anyone noticing, and even getting pregnant, was definitely no small feat based on this fact alone!
If she didn't employ extraordinary means, how could a well-traveled returnee who had studied abroad involve himself with her?
The things he said just now were merely to test her!
And now, as he stared at Zhuang Xiuya's pale and powerless face, and the panic that dilated her pupils, he suddenly realized something!
Song Zhen's lips were tightly pursed!
Overwhelming anger surged upwards!
If it weren't for these sinful people, Gu Xinzhou would have surely grown up in a happy family, with a father and a mother, and her mother wouldn't have died so young!
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Zhuang Xiuya tried to remain calm, but no matter how loudly she shouted, she couldn't hide that slight tremble!
She took a deep breath and said coldly, "She died of postpartum hemorrhage on her own, it had nothing to do with me!"
Song Zhen's body stiffened!
Zhuang Xiuya turned and ran!
Song Zhen instinctively wanted to chase after her but halted dead in his tracks as he took the first step!
Damn it!
What use would there be in catching up with her?
He had absolutely no evidence!
Song Zhen thought of how Xinzhou had suddenly started screaming crazily in the hotel last night, curling up in a corner like a desperate child with a vacant look in her eyes, and he felt an indescribable ache in his heart!
His Zhouzhou...
Her life should never have been so full of hardships and obstacles!
And he, the bastard, had struck her hard in her already difficult life!
Song Zhen was grinding his teeth in hatred!
Not only did he hate Zhuang Xiuya, but he also hated himself for his poor judgment of character!
He picked up his phone and dialed a number, "Herry, I need your help investigating something, from over twenty years ago."
After giving simple instructions.
Song Zhen paced back and forth in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office.
He watched the incessant stream of vehicles outside the window, cars so small they looked like matchboxes, his eyes restlessly scanning, his feet ceaselessly moving, his thoughts endlessly flowing.
Finally, he seemed to remember something!
He walked quickly to his desk, picked up his phone, and dialed another number again, "Keep an eye on Zhuang Xiuya! I need all her records starting from today – every bank statement, call log, text message, email, and all other records of communication with the outside world!"
If the result of the earlier probing was true...
Then Zhuang Xiuya would surely become fearful and would likely try to eliminate all the criminal evidence from the past!
Evidence...
After more than twenty years, Song Zhen had little hope!
But there must be witnesses!
Zhuang Xiuya alone couldn't possibly have pulled off such a series of deeds!
Song Zhen exhaled deeply.
He asked his assistant to bring him a cup of coffee.
He picked it up, sipped on it while he checked Gu Xinzhou's whereabouts on his phone.
He discovered they were already heading back to the city, their car driving towards the hotel where Cassie was staying.
Song Zhen called Gu Xinzhou's mobile phone again.
This time, he was using his office landline.
Xinzhou didn't recognize the number, "Hello, who is this?"
"Baby," Song Zhen's voice was soft and tender, "about what you said before, about wanting me to completely stop interfering in your affairs, I've thought of a solution that both of us can accept.
Why don't we talk about it?
If you agree to my conditions, I promise I won't bother you from now on!"
Song Zhen was always a man of his word.
Gu Xinzhou was worried about how to handle the following matters.
Hearing his offer, she agreed immediately, "Okay!"
