Chapter 357: Direct Exposure! [1 Update]
It was an understatement, but it was like a huge stone hitting the calm surface, causing huge waves.
Zhou Hechen seemed to be frozen, his whole body froze in place, and for a moment he didn't realize what Zhou Heyuan meant.
What do you mean...who did he recognize as Sheng Yunyi?
Sheng Yunyi has never been to Nancheng?
Zhou Hechen was like a puppet that had lost his soul, standing still and not moving.
With a "boom", Sheng Yunyi's brain exploded instantly.
She looked back at Zhou Heyuan in disbelief, her expression hard to conceal her shock, more panicked, her hands and feet were extremely cold.
It is true that she had never been to Nancheng when she was a child. After all, Mrs. Sheng had been very strict with her since she was a child and required her to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She would study late at night every day, so naturally she had no time to go to other cities.
So many years ago, when the Zhou family brought Zhou Hechen to the Sheng family to express their gratitude, she had many doubts in her heart.
But at that time, Mrs. Sheng calmly accepted the life-saving grace and told her that she would be Zhou Hechen's life-savior from now on.
Later, she also used this status to improve her status and obtain more resources.
Sheng Yunyi had thought about being exposed, but not when she was defenseless!
Or was exposed directly by Zhou Heyuan!
"Second brother, what's been going on with you these past two days? Why don't you always reply when I ask you something?" Zhou Heyuan seemed to have not seen Sheng Yunyi, with a smile still on his lips. He knocked on the table, "What on earth are you doing?" Who did you recognize as Yunyi? I didn’t mean anything else, I just wanted you to examine your feelings for Yunyi and stop hurting her.”
Zhou Hechen suddenly came back to his senses. His face was pale and his lips were trembling violently: "I, I..."
He didn't know how to answer because he had never thought about it.
After all, before Sheng Yunyi was expelled from the Sheng family, she could become a qualified matron of the Zhou family in all aspects.
Coupled with the filter of his savior, his feelings for Sheng Yunyi will naturally not be fake.
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Zhou Hechen tried hard to suppress the panic in his heart: "Brother, what do you mean? Someone else saved me."
"Aren't I asking you?" Zhou Heyuan smiled lightly, "It's not like I was rescued. Of course I don't know who it is."
Zhou Hechen's face turned even paler.
At that time, he was dizzy due to excessive physical exertion. He only heard the voice and never saw the other person's face carefully.
But later he heard that Sheng Yunyi happened to be in Nancheng at that time, and the time and whereabouts matched. He went to the Sheng family for verification and got a positive answer.
Thinking about it now, could it be that all the news he heard was released by the Sheng family on their own initiative?
After all, his kidnapping is not a secret among the five wealthy families.
Zhou Hechen didn't know what he thought of, and ran out of the ward like crazy, so fast that Sheng Yunyi didn't stop him.
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Sheng Yunyi smiled hard, "I've been to Nancheng, I -"
Zhou Heyuan only said three words: "Get out."
Sheng Yunyi's face was as pale as paper and she could only leave.
"Brother, how do you know that Sheng Yunyi has never been to Nancheng?" Zhou Zhiyun handed over a glass of water and asked curiously, "You just turned her face pale."
Zhou Heyuan drank the water in the cup and said calmly: "I already found out about this matter four years ago, but I just didn't talk about it."
He had no intention of paying attention to the grudges between Zhou Hechen and Sheng Yunyi, but the two of them involved his savior, Ye Banglan, which was a huge mistake.
"Then who saved the second brother?" Zhou Zhiyun frowned, "I didn't expect that this matter turned out to be an error from beginning to end."
"I don't care, I don't care, I don't have the free time." Zhou Heyuan said lightly, "Zhiyun, are you working in Miss Ye's company now?"
"Yes." Zhou Zhiyun said cautiously, "Miss Ye is really nice. When she knew that I had established a poverty relief foundation, she also donated a lot of money, and Wan Tian Qing Company is committed to promoting intangible cultural heritage. culture……"
Zhou Heyuan touched her head and smiled: "I know, so from now on, the Zhou family will only stand by her side."
Hearing this, Zhou Zhiyun was shocked: "Brother?"
She knew Zhou Heyuan's temperament and knew that he had ambitions in his heart and would not succumb to others. How could he say such a thing?
"A scholar dies for his confidant." Zhou Heyuan sighed softly, "Miss Ye, is a born king."
After waking up for more than a day, through Zhou Zhiyun's narration and some intelligence materials he received, he saw for the first time what it means to "strategize and win thousands of miles away."
Zhou Zhiyun nodded, and then spoke again: "But the second brother..."
"I've given him many opportunities." Zhou Heyuan closed his eyes, "If he doesn't cherish it, what can he do?"
Zhou Zhiyun nodded silently and said no more.

Lin.
"We've only been here for two days, why are we leaving?" Lin Huaijin reluctantly said, "Don't forget New Year's Eve in half a month."
"I understand, uncle." Ye turned the tide, "I will come back earlier because I have to represent the school in this year's calligraphy competition."
The preliminary and semi-finals of the calligraphy competition are both held in Jiangcheng, and ten contestants will be selected for the finals in Yunjing next year.
"That's good." Lin Huaijin patted her shoulder, pondered for a moment, and said, "You shouldn't keep weighing on your grandmother's mind for so many years... Alas."
Ye Wanlan put on her bag and whispered, "I know, but I still want to try harder."
As long as things are not irreversible, she will not give up.
When Lin Huaijin heard this, he felt distressed.
Ye Wanlan was already precocious, and had an alien soul take over her body, but she still had to bear so much, and he couldn't help anything.
"Alan, you can do whatever you want." Lin Huaijin said solemnly, "At least, uncle will always be behind you."
Ye Wanlan's heart moved, she raised her eyebrows: "Then I will remember uncle's words, and uncle will probably start to be busy in the next few months."
Lin Huaijin nodded: "Is it the chemical industry you mentioned? No problem, leave it to uncle."
"Wait until I sort out the information and give it all to uncle." Ye Wanlan nodded.
She picked up her bag and left the Lin family with Yan Tingfeng, returning to southern Xinjiang on a private plane.
During the two days when Ye Wanlan returned to Jiangcheng, the program crew did not delay the filming process, and had already filmed several major cultural relics and historical sites in southern Xinjiang.
"Miss Ye is back just in time." The director smiled, "Next we have to rush to the next location to film the former residence of the King of Chu, but we really need Miss Ye's radar."
King Xiang Qingtian of Chu is a person with many criticisms in history.
Some people say that he has long had evil intentions and wants to usurp the throne.
Others say that after he failed to win the throne, he has recognized the fact that he is not as good as Ning Zhaozong, so he is willing to guard southern Xinjiang and protect China.
The life of the King of Chu is also very turbulent.
He was born in troubled times and died in conquest.
He fought for forty or fifty years, but in the end he did not end up with a good ending of old age, which also made people in later generations sigh.
Ye Wanlan was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Okay."
Rong Yu suddenly smiled and said: "I remember that when classmate Ye was doing the test, he didn't answer the questions about the King of Chu. Is it because he didn't like the King of Chu?"
"No." Ye Wanlan paused, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I just didn't want to answer."
Rong Yu: "..."
Being good at studying means being willful.
"Speaking of which, the headquarters of the Shen Ce Army is not far from Southern Xinjiang." Professor Shen also smiled and said, "There will be some filming in these few episodes."
"Everyone come back from outside!" At this time, Xingyue shouted, "It's going to rain soon, probably in a dozen seconds."
Hearing this, the director's face changed, and he rushed into the room first.
Not only are there many snakes and insects in Southern Xinjiang, but the weather is also very unstable.
Indeed, in just a dozen seconds, dark clouds gathered in an instant, and heavy rain fell from the sky.
Thankfully, Xingyue and Rong Qi were there, and they predicted the unpredictable weather in advance, which saved the program crew from a rainstorm.
"Miss Ye, someone...someone else is here to see you." The assistant director ran over and hesitated, "It's still someone from the Zhou family in Jiangcheng, but he looks like a psychopath. If you don't want to see him, we'll just have someone send him away."
Ye Wanlan said lightly: "No need, I'll go see him."
"Let's go." Yan Tingfeng held the umbrella to shield her from the wind and rain, "Let's go and see together."
The rain was still falling, with no sign of stopping.
But under Yan Tingfeng's protection, Ye Wanlan didn't get a single drop of rain on her body.
The "psychopath" the assistant director mentioned was Zhou Hechen, who had chased all the way from Jiangcheng. He didn't bring an umbrella either, and was soaked like a drowned chicken, looking very embarrassed.
Ye Wanlan stood three meters away from him.
Zhou Hechen would suddenly appear here, and she could almost instantly judge that Zhou Heyuan had already started the first step of the plan.
She didn't mind adding fuel to the fire.
Killing people is meaningless, and destroying their hearts is the best way.
"Did you save me back then?" Zhou Hechen raised his head, his eyes full of hope.
Let's place a bet. Who will come out first, the King of Chu or the commander of the Shen Ce Army, Huo Jingyu?
