“Sister-in-law, you’ve been living alone since you went to university? Didn’t your parents come over to take care of you?” Zhou Mingfei didn’t get any useful information, so he didn’t give up and continued to ask.

“I didn’t let them come over,” Jiang Tong shook her head. “In my family, I also have a younger sister. She’s five years younger than me, so someone has to take care of her. The restaurant at home can’t be closed either. I’m already so old. As long as I have money, I won’t starve to death.”

He didn’t believe it! Zhou Mingfei didn’t believe a single word Jiang Tong said! Whoever believed it would be an id*ot! At this moment, the more ordinary Jiang Tong described her family’s situation, the more Zhou Mingfei felt that something was wrong. He would definitely investigate Jiang Tong. Jiang Tong also knew that Zhou Mingfei would definitely investigate her. But he could investigate her if he wanted, the thing she was least afraid of was being investigated. If Zhou Mingfei could really find out where she was lying and what she was hiding, that would be a miracle!

Seeing that he could not find out anything about her family situation, Zhou Mingfei asked another question. “I think your gambling skills are very good, Sister-in-law. Who did you learn it from? Is it convenient for you to tell me?”

Jiang Tong waved her hand and replied, “I didn’t learn it from anyone, I just blindly mulled over it.” This sentence was considered a lie, but no one could find out because the time when she learned gambling skills had long been reset.

Zhou Mingfei curled his lips. He thought Jiang Tong was not willing to talk about it, so he changed the topic. “Then how did you know about those things, Sister-in-law?” He pointed at the top. He meant the information about the higher-ups.

“This has to be kept secret,” Jiang Tong smiled mysteriously.

“That’s enough. You’ve asked so many questions that the only thing you’re missing now is her household registration.” Zhou Jingyun pushed Zhou Mingfei, not letting him continue. Zhou Jingyun knew that Jiang Tong was an intelligence dealer, so she definitely could not tell Zhou Mingfei about this.

“Dong dong.”

At this moment, the waiter knocked on the door to serve the food, interrupting Zhou Mingfei’s probing. The meal was rather enjoyable. After the meal, the three of them left the restaurant together, but they got into different cars. Jiang Tong and Zhou Jingyun returned to Jingyun Fashion company together, while Zhou Mingfei returned to Lihao Ballroom.

Jiang Tong, who was sitting in the back seat of the Maybach, first tilted her head to look at the rearview mirror, then turned her head to look out the window. Zhou Jingyun did not know what she was looking at, so he also turned his head to look. There were many cars on the road, his bodyguards were in the cars following theirs, so there was nothing to see.

“What? You can’t bear to part with my younger brother? He’s already far away, you won’t be able to see him,” Zhou Jingyun teased. Jiang Tong and Zhou Mingfei had a rather pleasant conversation at the dining table earlier. He thought that Jiang Tong couldn’t bear to part with Zhou Mingfei. After all, Zhou Mingfei had a sweet mouth and was very good at coaxing people.

“No,” Jiang Tong replied with a smile. Actually, she had discovered that there was a car following her from behind, and now she already knew who the person was. When she was in the restaurant earlier, the person following her was wearing a baseball cap. Therefore, she could not see his face clearly and did not know who it was. People could disguise themselves, but cars could not. The car that that person was driving was very familiar to Jiang Tong.

At this moment, the bodyguard sitting in the front passenger seat suddenly pressed on the headset and listened carefully for a while. Then, he replied in a low voice, “Okay, I got it.” The bodyguard turned around and reported to Zhou Jingyun, “Boss, I found someone following us from behind.”

Zhou Jingyun’s bodyguards were not ordinary people. They were retired special forces soldiers. These bodyguards were paid millions of dollars a year. However, Zhou Jingyun was not the one paying their wages, the Zhou family was. No matter how big the conflict between Zhou Jingyun and his family was, he was still a direct descendant of the Zhou family. He was the eldest grandson of the eldest son in the Zhou family.

Although the bodyguards discovered that someone was following them, they could not be like Jiang Tong. They could not directly identify the person who was following them just by looking at the car.

“Shake them off.” Zhou Jingyun’s expression was calm as he ordered them. It was as though he was used to it. With his status, it was not the first time that he had been followed. In the last few years, that lunatic Shao Ying would often send people to follow Zhou Jingyun, especially when he went out alone. She really wanted to know everything about him.

From a certain point of view, Shao Ying was indeed a woman with a strong desire to control everything to the point of being a control freak! After receiving Zhou Jingyun’s instructions, the cars began to speed up. Feeling the speed of the car, Zhou Jingyun furrowed his brows impatiently. Because someone was following them, he thought of that crazy woman, Shao Ying. He also thought of the pressure from his family and the bet. Honestly speaking, Zhou Jingyun was not absolutely certain that he could win against Shao Ying in terms of business achievements. That woman, Shao Ying, was crazy, but she was capable. Zhou Jingyun also thought of taking a different path, but it did not seem to be easy either.

At this moment, Jiang Tong suddenly tugged at Zhou Jingyun’s sleeve. Zhou Jingyun turned to look at her. The agitated aura around him made his surroundings even colder. However, Jiang Tong did not panic at all. She said to him, “You still have me.”
