Rescue the hero who was imprisoned by the cannon fodder sister

Chapter 73: Silence her?

The chair where she was sitting happened to be relatively low, and there was a row of green plants behind her to block her view, so the people on the other side did not notice her.

Following the principle that the more you know, the faster you will die, and not intending to get into trouble, Zhou Niantang raised his legs and tried to find another place to stay.

The yard was very large, so she walked in the opposite direction of the swimming pool, intending to go around a bamboo path to return to the banquet hall.

"President Pei, please think about it carefully. Compared with Zhou Group, I would rather cooperate with someone like you who has made certain achievements in the gaming field."

"Mr. Cheng, have you forgotten what happened in the past?" A cold and familiar voice sounded.

Cheng Yu smiled awkwardly: "I hope Mr. Pei won't mind what happened in the past. I was also bewitched at that time. It was Zhou Yunqi who led me to do that."

Cheng Yu was very immoral and pushed all the blame onto Zhou Yunqi.

Pei Shi snorted coldly. Although he hated Zhou Yunqi, he also knew that it was Cheng Yu who took the initiative to find Zhou Yunqi about that incident.

"It seems that Mr. Cheng's memory is not very good."

Although Cheng Yu was unwilling at this moment and understood the sarcasm in Pei Shi's words, he did not dare to refute and could only smile along.

Although he could start working on the big IP with Zhou Yunqi's investment, Cheng Yu was still uneasy. Zhou Group just wanted to invest some money and disgust Pei Shi.

The Zhou Group has never been involved in this industry. After the ups and downs of the past few years, Cheng Yu has become more knowledgeable about weighing the pros and cons.

Instead of placing all hopes on Zhou’s sudden investment, it would be better to find someone like Pei Shi who is truly capable in this area.

They are all businessmen, and he believes that Pei Shi will be tempted when he knows the content of his big IP.

"Boss Pei, when are you free? Let's make an appointment to discuss in detail?"

Pei Shi didn't say anything. His assistant stepped forward and stood in front of Cheng Yu, "Mr. Cheng, today is a big day for your company and Zhou Group. Let's talk about other things later. The banquet is about to start."

Cheng Yu also knew that although this place was hidden, it was indeed not a good time to talk about these things. If Zhou Yunqi's people found out, it would be a big trouble.

And it looked like Pei Shi didn't want to talk to him, so he could only walk away angrily.

After Cheng Yuren left, the assistant said with some disdain: "On the one hand, he is taking advantage of Zhou's investment, and on the other hand, he is planning to set up his own company. Does he really think that others can't understand his thoughts?"

A gust of wind blew by, the bamboo shadows swayed, and the bamboo leaves rustled in the wind. Pei Shi had already made up his mind. He said in a calm tone: "Make an appointment with him in a few days."

"Are you really planning to cooperate with him? Aren't you afraid that this kind of person who is always greedy for more money might cheat you?" The assistant was puzzled.

"If there is, that's great." Pei Shi had a smile on his face, as if everything was up to him.

The assistant had followed him for several years and knew that he did have such confidence, so he wrote this down.

Zhou Niantang, hiding behind the shadow of a tree, was secretly frightened. Was this Cheng guy planning to defect to Pei Shi's side?

If this is the case, will they unite to make Zhou Yunqi suffer?

For the first time, Zhou Niantang felt so directly that Pei Shi was really starting to revive the Zhou family.

She thought that she should tell Zhou Yunqi about this. If she hadn't signed a contract with Cheng Tian yet, it would be best to cancel it, to avoid being tricked and losing money.

She was so absorbed in listening that she didn't notice the person on the other end was already approaching her.

When she realized that there was no one talking on the other end, she realized that two people were looking at her a few meters away.

Pei Shi, who was in the lead, looked at her with a serious face and cold eyes.

Zhou Niantang's heart was beating like thunder when he was watched. It was his first time eavesdropping like this and he was caught red-handed!

"Oh, what a coincidence." Zhou Niantang greeted with an embarrassed smile.

The assistant standing behind Pei Shi knew Zhou Niantang's identity the day before, and also knew that his boss had been adopted by the Zhou family.

At this time, Zhou Niantang was standing not far from where they had just talked, and it was unknown how much she had heard.

The surroundings were plunged into an awkward and weird atmosphere.

Zhou Niantang felt that he had to leave quickly. What if Pei Shi suddenly got angry and tried to silence him? After all, he was a cruel and ruthless person.

"Are you taking a walk too? Then I won't disturb you. I'll go over there and take a look." After saying that, without caring about the reactions of the two people opposite him, he turned around and walked in the direction he had just come from.

The assistant glanced at Pei Shi and said, "Boss, she might have heard something just now."

Although they did not discuss anything explicitly, if Zhou Niantang heard it, she would definitely tell Zhou Yunqi, and there might be some changes in Pei Shi's intention to use Cheng Yu as a knife.

Pei Shi chuckled: "Are you trying to silence her?"

The assistant knew Pei Shi was joking. How could that be possible in a society ruled by law?

But Zhou Niantang, who was running away quickly, happened to hear the word "silence" and was so scared that he started to jog.

It’s over, it’s over, the male protagonist is really going to silence her! The more Zhou Niantang thought about it, the more panicked she became. After all, this is a book. Who knows if the male protagonist will really ignore the law and kill her directly!

She had to hurry back to the banquet hall to find Zhou Yunqi. It was important to save her life first!

She had forgotten what she had heard earlier about someone causing trouble by the swimming pool, and ran towards the banquet hall according to the route she remembered.

In the banquet hall where people were toasting each other, a girl dressed as a servant walked in, looked around, and finally saw Bai Rongshu shaking a red wine glass in the corner next to the dining table.

Bai Rongshu naturally saw her as well and nodded at her.

The girl walked over and whispered something in Bai Rongshu's ear.

"Got it. There's a back door here. Once you change your clothes, go out there."

"Yes." The girl lowered her head and ran away from where Bai Rongshu pointed.

The interaction between the two was seen by Zhou Yunqi who was standing at the spiral staircase. When Bai Rongshu looked over, she gave her a look that told her not to cause trouble.

Bai Rongshu raised the wine glass in his hand, then smiled and drank the red wine in the glass.

This is an important plot point tonight.

In the original novel, Zhou Yunqi offended Pei Shi deeply at the first cocktail party he attended after returning to China. It was after this day that the Zhou family began to go downhill.

What she had to do today was to find someone at the cocktail party to push Yun Zhi into the swimming pool and embarrass her.

She had just arranged for someone to lead Yunzhi to the swimming pool, and also arranged for someone else to secretly push her in.

Bai Rongshu put down her wine glass and looked at the crystal chandelier in the center of the banquet hall. She suddenly felt that if she didn't have to live a sloppy life like in the plot, she would be reluctant to return to reality from such a life of luxury.

Zhou Niantang walked to the edge of the swimming pool, looked back, and slowed down his pace after making sure that no one was catching up with him.

In a state of fear and running, she felt like she couldn't breathe.

The person who had been arranged by Bai Rongshu was hiding behind the swing nearby. When he saw a girl running towards the swimming pool, he thought of what Bai Rongshu had told him, walked out, and approached the girl's back.

Zhou Niantang only felt a huge force rushing over from behind and pushing her directly into the swimming pool.

The moment she fell, her mind went blank. After choking on a few mouthfuls of water, she struggled and shouted, "Help!"
