Ever since Qin Fangtan warned Zhou Xun that day, he hadn't really paid much attention to the two brothers. One reason was that he was busy and didn't have the time, and the other reason was that he felt it would be a shame if the pets were to get damaged while playing.

Based on the above two points, the Zhou brothers have been doing well in recent days. However, for Zhou Ye, it is no different from being imprisoned.

He had deliberately avoided his older brother these past few days. He still couldn't accept what his brother had said. He wanted to see their father and hear his response firsthand...

Zhou Ye left the room, thinking that someone would stop him, but no one did. Furthermore, the servants even greeted him when they saw him!

He forced himself to walk calmly. As he turned the corner, a warm sensation spread through his wrist. Someone had grabbed him...

Zhou Yexin's heart tightened, he swallowed his saliva, slowly turned around, and when he saw the approaching person, he let out a sigh of relief, "Brother... why are you walking silently..."

Zhou Xun saw the evasive and elusive look in the person's eyes and furrowed his brows, saying, "I actually want to ask you, where are you heading?"

Zhou Ye didn't dare to look at her older brother, her gaze drifting elsewhere as she mumbled, "I... I just felt suffocated...so I came out for a walk..."

"You're lying."

Having been exposed, Zhou Ye pursed his lips and remained silent.

Zhou Xun knew what the other party was thinking, sighed inwardly, and said softly, "Xiao Ye, it's useless. Even if you manage to escape, he will still catch you and bring you back..."

Zhou Ye looked at the person and gritted his teeth, saying, "But if I don't go out, I won't be able to see my father..."

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Xun softened a little and said, "Are you really determined to go out?"

"Mhmm..." Zhou Ye lowered his head and responded.

"Then come with me," he said.

Zhou Xun led the group to the backyard, where a few people with dark skin and wearing black short-sleeved shirts were stationed by the entrance gate. He nodded lightly at his younger brother and calmly approached the group, saying, "Master Qin has asked me to deliver a message. He is waiting for you all in the conference room."

Upon hearing that, the group of people did not hesitate for a moment and quickly left.

Zhou Xun waved to his younger brother from his own home. Seeing him running over, he handed the keys to him and a slight smile appeared on his face. He said, "Hurry up and go."

Zhou Ye was taken aback and looked at the person in confusion, "Brother... aren't you going to leave with me?"

Zhou Xun gently patted his younger brother's head and said in a warm tone, "I won't leave."

"Why... does he treat you so badly, always bullying you! Brother, let's leave together. After we find father, we'll go somewhere else!"

Zhou Xun shook his head and said, "Let's go quickly. If people come back later, we won't be able to leave."

"But..."

Zhou Xun smiled faintly and spoke in a gentle tone, saying, "Don't worry about me, he won't do anything to me. But you, being all alone out there, be careful, you hear?"

Zhou Ye's nose tingled, and he nodded slowly. He knew that his older brother must have a reason for not leaving. Once he found their father, he would come back to find his older brother!

"...Then I'll go now. Take good care of yourself..."

"Uh-huh."

As Zhou Xun watched the person depart, the smile on his face gradually cooled. He thought... If only his younger brother could leave like this, far away. Then he wouldn't have to worry about the other person getting hurt...

At this moment, the meeting room was unusually quiet, and the atmosphere became awkward for a while.

The person sitting in the chair of the chairman looked at the person in the black short-sleeved shirt expressionlessly. The several people on the guest side also remained silent, as if they were watching a show with anticipation.

With a soft "click" sound, the pen landed on the table, and Qin Fangtan slowly spoke, "Who let you come here?"

"...It is Mr. Zhou Xun..."

"Zhou Xun?" Qin Fangtan hummed coldly, as if he had remembered something, and said in a deep voice, "Go and retrieve the surveillance footage now."

"Yes, Lord Qin."

A few people walked out, and Qin Fangtan looked at the people in the room. With a fake smile on his face, he said, "It seems that today's meeting will be postponed. Does anyone have any objections?"

"No, no!"

"Of course, Lord Qin, your matter is of utmost importance!"

"Once you're done with your business, inform us, Qin Ye!"

'......'

Qin Fangtan listened to the flattering words, a slight smile forming at the corner of his mouth. However, he didn't say anything and got up to leave. He arrived at the monitoring room and saw a scene on the screen, his face growing increasingly gloomy.

"Qin Lord, should we bring the person back?"

Qin Fangtan sarcastically said, "No need, you guys just lock the main gate for me."

"Yes."

Qin Fangtan looked at the face in the video, which was as smooth as jade, with a playful smile on it. Zhou Xun, oh Zhou Xun, this time you provoked me, so don't blame me for not showing any mercy...
