Chapter 575 - Chapter 575 Chapter 575 Professor Qiao is Really Impressive So

Chapter 575: Chapter 575: Professor Qiao is Really Impressive, So Cunning Chapter 575: Chapter 575: Professor Qiao is Really Impressive, So Cunning Zhou Lao yelled, “Panicking for what!”

“Can’t see him.” Zhou Xinyu replied anxiously, “They must know. They are here to accuse us.”

“What is there to be afraid of in our own home?” Zhou Lao was not worried at all, “Besides, what evidence do they have that proves we did it?”

Zhou Xinyu thought, that seemed reasonable.

As long as Qiao Yun has no evidence, what was there to be afraid of? Just flatly deny everything.

“Go and meet them,” Zhou Lao’s eyes narrowed, “Let me see what they want to do.”

Soon, the butler led the people in.

Qiao Yun still wore that cold and indifferent expression, while Pei Ya had a frivolous smile, sitting down somewhat disrespectfully.

Zhou Lao stared sharply at Qiao Yun and Pei Ya, seemingly trying to discern something from their expressions.

Zhou Xinyu’s back was already covered in a cold sweat; there was no helping it, the aura of these two was too overwhelming.

Zhou Lao was the first to speak, his tone quite sarcastically, “May I know what brings the two of you here again? I heard that Shengqiao Group was in trouble. Director Pei shouldn’t worry too much. Apologize if an apology is needed, compensate if compensation is due. It’s just a loss of some money.”

Pei Ya didn’t beat around the bush, saying with a half-smile, “Mr. Zhou, do you remember, when I first visited, I told you I hoped that the next time I came, it wouldn’t be to bring you gifts?”

That reminded Zhou Lao of Elder Zhou’s issues, and his expression slightly shifted.

Pei Ya said ambiguously, “It seems the gift I brought last time wasn’t big enough, eh? That’s why Mr. Zhou still dares to play tricks behind the scenes?”

Zhou Xinyu stiffened, feeling very uneasy inside. They really knew!

Zhou Lao said unflinchingly, “Is Director Pei here today just to mock me? If so, please leave.”

He seemed to think of something, asking Qiao Yun with sarcasm, “Or is Professor Qiao here to beg for my forgiveness for your previous actions?”

Before Qiao Yun could speak, Pei Ya rolled his eyes exaggeratedly, saying incredibly sarcastically, “What did you have for lunch today, getting drunk like this?”

Zhou Lao: “…”

Qiao Yun glanced helplessly at Pei Ya, who was always undermining her.

Pei Ya shrugged, “Alright, alright, I’ll stop.”

Qiao Yun spoke to Zhou Lao in an even and unhurried pace, “The explosion, you did it, you are responsible.”

Zhou Xinyu’s expression changed drastically.

Zhou Lao’s pupils narrowed, then he quickly calmed down, his tone steady, “What do you mean by that, Professor Qiao? Trying to make the Zhou family a scapegoat? What a clever plot.”

“What a great performance!” Pei Ya clapped his hands sarcastically, “It’s a pity not to become an actor.”

Zhou Lao suddenly stood up, his tone impatient, “It seems we have nothing to discuss. Butler, show them out!”

As he said that, he turned to go upstairs.

Pei Ya raised his voice to stop him, “Don’t rush off. I haven’t finished talking yet. Mr. Zhou, are you in such a hurry because you have a guilty conscience?”

Zhou Lao’s gaze darkened, and he sat back down, saying with a forced smile, “Fine, I really want to see how you plan to blame the Zhou family.”

Pei Ya admired the extent to which Zhou Lao could remain composed even at this moment.

Qiao Yun looked at the two people opposite her, her gaze as if she were looking at two dead men. She spoke calmly, “You think I don’t have evidence?”

The old master Zhou deeply furrowed his brows.

Pei Ya said, “Bring the person up.”

A middle-aged man, trembling, was dragged up by two bodyguards.

The moment old master Zhou saw the person arriving, his eyes unavoidably panicked.

Zhou Xinyu’s heart pounded like a drum, cold sweat dripping down, it was over!

The person brought up was exactly the insider who was colluding with old master Zhou.

Old master Zhou hadn’t expected this man to fall into their hands, no wonder they dared to come here so openly to seek justice; this man must have already told them everything.

Tkankfully, he had been extremely careful and cautious when doing this, leaving not a single handle behind.

Thinking this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in old master Zhou’s eyes. Even if he were exposed, he still had ways to completely clear the Zhou Family of any involvement.

The middle-aged man came forward and immediately threw himself at old master Zhou’s feet, wailing, “Old Zhou, you must save me, you made me do it, you can’t abandon me!”

Old master Zhou cursed silently, a good-for-nothing, and violently kicked the man away. His fingers trembling with fury, he said, “Get lost, I underestimated Professor Qiao, even fake witnesses have been arranged! You have made up your minds to pin this on my Zhou Family!”

This act, to anyone unaware of the truth, would really believe that Qiao Yun was forcing him to take the blame.

The middle-aged man was terrified, “Old Zhou, what do you mean? I did as you instructed, and tampered with the smart home system which led to the explosion. Now that it’s come to light, do you want to abandon me after crossing the river?”

Old master Zhou clenched his fists tightly, his breathing becoming unsteady, “An empty mouth trying to frame my Zhou Family, do you really think the Zhou Family is easy to bully? Since you say I did it, then bring out the evidence!”

The middle-aged man was completely at a loss for words.

All he knew was that the person he had been in contact with was from the Zhou Family, but he truly didn’t know whether it was old master Zhou or someone else from the Zhou Family.

Still, since old master Zhou was in charge of the Zhou Family, seeking his help was undoubtedly correct.

After realizing this, the middle-aged man insisted, “Chairman Pei, the whole thing was orchestrated by old Zhou, please let me go in light of my disclosure, I don’t want to go to jail.”

Old master Zhou adamantly denied it, “Do you have evidence?”

Pei Ya scoffed, “In this regard, I have to commend Mr. Zhou, truly fitting of an old fox, covering all bases, not leaving a single clue behind. Indeed, we have no evidence.”

Upon hearing this, old master Zhou’s heart settled back in place, he mocked, “Just because the cooperation was not successful, you want to completely take down my Zhou Family.”

He looked towards the calm-faced Qiao Yun, “Professor Qiao really is bold. I didn’t expect you to be such a scheming person.”

Qiao Yun nodded, “For the sake of truth, a bit of scheming is still acceptable.”

Pei Ya: “…”

My boss, why did you even admit to it, that’s not something to be proud of.

Pei Ya really didn’t like these words, he chuckled, “However scheming I may be, it’s not to the level of your scheming. Indeed, I do not have evidence that it was Mr. Zhou who did it, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have someone else’s evidence.”

As he spoke, his gaze turned to the fearful Zhou Xinyu.

Zhou Xinyu’s expression froze, inexplicably feeling that the words Pei Ya was about to say might be something he didn’t want to hear.

Pei Ya said slowly, word by word, “Is young master Zhou truly old Mr. Zhou’s biological grandson? Could he be adopted?”
