Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space-Chapter 384 - 293: Secret Plot

In the study, Zhou Xiaozheng handed her a file folder and told her not to open it yet, just to keep it safe. Then he took out some documents from the study and placed them on the desk, signaling her to take a look first.

Zhou Jiao began to flip through them, and as she reviewed document after document, her expression grew more solemn. Particularly after seeing the blank sheets on which Zhou Xiaozheng had sketched out doubts, her face turned gray.

"Don’t get angry yet. It’s not worth it! We must eventually confirm and once avoid people to go to Jiangnan. This matter isn’t urgent; it’s better not to let anyone slip through the cracks than to kill with certainty!

Don’t let anything slip in front of your grandaunt; her hatred is too deep, and she mustn’t lose control. Pretend you know nothing when facing Gu Ruyi. I suspect her brothers are also involved; she’s aware of it. That’s why she suspects me this time. Wouldn’t I know if your mom doesn’t say anything?"

After taking a gulp of water, Zhou Jiao closed her eyes to calm herself for a moment, then opened them and said, "Dad, no need to verify anymore! With these documents, I’ll handle the house in Beijing.

I’ll take advantage of the time difference and act tomorrow. You just focus on your job. Your method will be suspected by those familiar with you, especially Lin Aiguo. You wait for the subsequent development and just help me with the details from behind. We’ll show them that the Zhou Family isn’t to be trifled with!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

After speaking, she laughed coldly and continued, "Mom plans to take the key from Gu Ruyi this morning to move things in the evening. Stop for now, wait until I see Gu Ruyi. If those items are gone, just let them be; there’s no rush to alert the snake yet."

Zhou Xiaozheng was silent for a while. He considered that this was an opportunity for her to test the waters, with him watching and guiding from the side, he felt assured his daughter wouldn’t be in danger.

Seeing his daughter’s quick emotional stability, he proudly curved his lips. Who said daughters are not as good as sons? His one daughter could surpass others’ ten sons.

Noticing his expression, Zhou Jiao knew he agreed. She picked up a pen and began to write plans on a blank letterhead. Some words couldn’t be spoken; she didn’t trust the two people outside the door.

Watching her write out the plan smoothly, Zhou Xiaozheng raised his eyebrows in surprise. As she wrote the second sheet, he picked up the first one to ponder over, occasionally raising his head to look at her in admiration.

After Zhou Jiao finished, she changed the cup for hot water and handed it to him, sitting beside him waiting for him to comment and revise.

She was now worried that this matter might implicate Lin Lishan. Gu Ruyi’s maternal family being branded might somewhat affect the Lin Family, the next step would depend on Mr. Lin’s decision. As for Gu Ruyi, the person would certainly distance herself from her maternal family.

Zhou Xiaozheng took up the pen to make supplements and improvements. The father and daughter communicated in silence, without a sound throughout. Upon finalizing the plan, Zhou Jiao directly picked up the two sheets of paper and threw them into the brazier beside her to burn.

Next, Zhou Jiao started looking for a common letterhead in the market, beginning to alter her handwriting for drafting.

The full text revolved around the harmfulness of the four major families of the Republic of China, advocating the importance of the current regime cleaning up, and hinting at ** academy now encountering a hooligan crime with Gu ** originally from where. The grandfather’s current status, past positions, interactions with whom in which year and month, were detailed with profound statements throughout the article, making one ponder.

Zhou Xiaozheng took it over to observe the handwriting and stationery, everything was fine, and he nodded slightly. Next according to the plan was to have the "interested party" uncover the Gu Family’s history and cleanse the first wife.

Each step interconnected, unlike his style, and absolutely no one would think it came from seventeen-year-old Zhou Jiao. Who knew he acknowledged her halfway into the family, who could have known that they as father and daughter would understand the happenings back then? Once this letter was sent out, it was just a matter of time before the truth from over forty years ago would be known by the world.

"No problem then. I’ll handle it, you’ll see it in the newspaper tomorrow. Come on, Dad happens to want to go find Xiao Wu." After saying that, Zhou Xiaozheng sorted out the documents and put them into a hidden cabinet as they left.

Zhou Jiao cooperated and walked into the living room, loudly saying, "Dad, just look around. If you can’t find Xiao Wu, come back early."

"You and your mom rest early. I’m going to check, really worried those kids ran too far."

Seeing him walking quickly outside, Lin Lishan called out, "Brother Zheng, don’t scold the kids. Let them play for a bit if they’re at the Big Courtyard." After speaking, she glared at Zhou Jiao in complaint.

Zhou Jiao smiled at her.

"This child, why didn’t you hold your dad back? It’s rare for Xiao Wu to go out and play. Don’t let your dad’s stern face cause Xiao Fei and the others to misunderstand." Lin Lishan chattered incessantly. She genuinely liked this son-in-law, afraid the child would feel wronged.

"Mom, you don’t love me anymore. No wonder Xiao Wu always talks about you, he’s the real son to you." Zhou Jiao snuggled up to her playfully; if she didn’t interject, her mom could nag until she had a headache.

Lin Lishan chuckled and said to Aunt Chen beside her, "Look, this child is jealous of Xiao Wu. Hehe... Mom loves you the most. Remember to bring your access pass, if it’s lost let the guard notify me."

Zhou Jiao chatted with her while paying attention to movements at the doorway.

After Zhang Guoqing finished his last drink and said goodbye to everyone, he headed toward the Big Courtyard with Fang Fei. He glanced toward the distant corner as he turned, pausing briefly. The figure that left hurriedly just now seemed to be his father-in-law.

He looked at the chatting Fang Fei beside him, restraining from blurting out. He prided himself on having extraordinary vision and hearing. It must have been Zhou Xiaozheng just now. He didn’t seem to be out looking for him.

"Xiao Wu, you can engage more frequently with these people in the future. I have errands during the day and can’t go out, remember to find me in the evening. Once the holidays come, I’ll take you for a good tour of Beijing. Remember to come over this summer to the Beihai River."

"Brother Xiao Fei, let’s talk about it later. Jiao Jiao wants to visit S City and Suzhou and Hangzhou. Right now, we’re not sure if the weather is suitable for the kids to go out during the New Year."

He really didn’t fancy going to Beihai River, running into those bigshots everywhere; now it was better to delay contact.

"You’ve ventured from the Northeast, are there places you can’t go now? Jiao Jiao said to go out, wouldn’t your father-in-law immediately arrange everything? Brother, being this son-in-law isn’t easy. Aren’t you afraid of your father-in-law? He glares at me with that face, it makes me shiver." Fang Fei joked as he clung to him.

"Nonsense. Dad is nice. My wife is so good, who else should I pamper if not her?"

"Alright, I’m not going to argue with you, you obedient husband. You go in, call me if you need anything." Fang Fei pushed him in, waving his hand and smiling as he left.

When Zhang Guoqing entered the courtyard, he saw Lin Lishan and Zhou Jiao coming out. As he caught Zhou Jiao’s eye signal, he immediately understood and blinked.

"Didn’t Dad find you?" Lin Lishan looked behind him seeing no one, she asked.

Zhang Guoqing nonchalantly replied, "I was outside the Big Courtyard dining with Xiao Fei and the others, he surely went there to find me. When he sees I’m not there, he’ll come back. Mom, let’s go in first."

Inside the living room, Zhang Guoqing briefly talked about who he drank with tonight. As for Lin Lishan asking about those people in front of Aunt, he nodded and praised each one.

Three decades east of the river, three decades west. Sometimes people’s fate changes thoroughly even within three years. They as a couple had unanimously decided to stay low and endure.

He agreed with some of Zhou Jiao’s perspectives, the dinner table tonight clearly showed how deep and murky the waters are now.
