317 A Private Talk
In the past two days, Zhou Mingfei had been frequently on the phone with his father, Zhou Anguo. Ever since Jiang Tong’s near-death incident yesterday morning, Zhou Mingfei had privately discussed the matter in detail with his father, Zhou Anguo. Other than the fact that Zhou Jingyun was almost injured, he had told Zhou Anguo the truth about everything else.
Zhou Mingfei could guess that since Jiang Tong wanted to talk to Old Ghost personally, they would definitely be able to rely on Old Ghost to get rid of Shao Ying! Regarding Shao Ying, Zhou Mingfei originally wouldn’t tell his father, but ever since Zhou Anguo came to City Z and had a secret talk with Jiang Tong, Zhou Anguo had told Zhou Mingfei to report to him about Shao Ying before he left! Although Zhou Mingfei did not know the exact situation, he could sense the change in his father’s attitude. Zhou Mingfei understood that the more problematic Shao Ying was, the higher the possibility of the Zhou family breaking off relations with the Shao family!
This afternoon, after Jiang Tong had dealt with Old Ghost, Zhou Mingfei took a taxi back to the hospital and called his father, Zhou Anguo. Zhou Mingfei told his father that he did not know the exact details but he told his father the gist of the situation. Zhou Anguo understood that Jiang Tong had dealt with Old Ghost! Jiang Tong could kill Shao Ying through Old Ghost!
Zhou Anguo was also very concerned about this. He also wanted to know how Jiang Tong had done it! So he told Zhou Mingfei to ask her about it. If he couldn’t find out, Zhou Mingfei could call him. Zhou Anguo understood that there were some things that Jiang Tong could tell him, but she might not be willing to tell his sons! It was because the matter was too big! The bigger the matter, the fewer people who knew about it, the better. Otherwise, once the news was leaked, the Shao family would most likely take extreme measures to make the first move! This was also for the sake of protecting his sons, Zhou Jingyun and Zhou Mingfei.
Jiang Tong glanced at Zhou Mingfei and then at the phone he handed over. She took it and put it to her ear. She chuckled, “Uncle.”
“Zhou Mingfei has told me everything,” Zhou Anguo said directly.
“Zhou Mingfei is right beside me. Uncle, are you sure you want him to listen?” Jiang Tong also asked directly. Zhou Anguo was startled and fell silent for a moment. Jiang Tong meant that this matter was very serious!
“I’ll call you.” After Zhou Anguo finished speaking, he directly hung up the phone.
Jiang Tong took the phone and glanced at it, then returned it to Zhou Mingfei. Zhou Mingfei looked at Jiang Tong with a strange expression. He was a little confused. No, what did Jiang Tong mean? He clearly had an agreement with his father. Why did it suddenly seem like Jiang Tong had discussed it with his father and didn’t want him to know? This was very uncomfortable! It wasn’t just out of curiosity. Zhou Mingfei even felt that Jiang Tong’s relationship with his father seemed to be closer than his relationship with his own sons!
Ring ring ring…
Jiang Tong’s phone rang. Her phone was in the pocket of her pajamas. She stood up and took out her phone as she walked upstairs. “I’m going to the study…”
Zhou Mingfei watched Jiang Tong go upstairs. He took a moment to react before quickly following Jiang Tong. Jiang Tong walked to the study on the second floor, locked the door, and walked to the balcony. Zhou Mingfei followed her to the study. Before he could enter, he pressed on the doorknob, trying to open the door, but he couldn’t open it. He knew that it was locked from the inside. What was going on? What did Jiang Tong want to talk to his father about?
Zhou Mingfei’s entire body was pressed against the door, and his ears were pressed against it. However, he could not hear the conversation inside because Jiang Tong had gone to the balcony and even closed the balcony door.
After a while, Zhou Jingyun’s voice rang out from the living room on the first floor. “Zhou Mingfei? Jiang Tong?” The pot was still stewing vegetables, so he didn’t have to keep an eye on it. Zhou Jingyun came out of the kitchen and found that Jiang Tong and Zhou Mingfei were not there. He looked around, then went upstairs. In the corridor on the second floor, he saw his brother, Zhou Mingfei, leaning against the door, trying to eavesdrop.
“What are you doing?” Zhou Jingyun asked, and then walked to Zhou Mingfei with a frown. “What are you eavesdropping on?”
“I can’t hear anything…” Zhou Mingfei turned to look at Zhou Jingyun with a pained expression.
“What can’t you hear?” Zhou Jingyun asked, frowning.
“Sister-in-law is on the phone with Father. They won’t let me listen in on the conversation,” Zhou Mingfei said in a low voice and put his ear to the door again. He didn’t believe that he couldn’t hear anything!
Zhou Jingyun’s expression changed. Jiang Tong was talking to their father again? They’re not allowed to listen in on a private conversation again? The situation was similar to the last time, but Zhou Jingyun’s mentality was different. Last time, he was very eager and anxious to know, but not this time. Because of his previous experience, he knew that he could ask Jiang Tong alone in the future, and there was no need to think of ways to eavesdrop.
