Lingyu was always absent.

The only time she showed up was when Wang Zhimin arrived to pick up the daily supply for the Gu Family Hotel every morning. The Zhou Family couldn't approach Xiao Lingyu then because Wang Zhimin was around. After that, Xiao Lingyu would hop into her car and drive to God knows where.

The Zhou Family found out about Father Xiao and Mother Xiao, but they didn't dare to make a move on them. If they went overboard, Xiao Lingyu might cause Wei 'Er's death. That would not be worth it.

It was why the people from the Zhou Family were very cautious.

"You idiots!" Zhou Huaming was furious. He sat at the office of the Yi Family Hotel. "I told you to go invite her, not threaten her. What are you so afraid of? As long as you lower your attitude and speak politely, what are you so afraid of? What if the police are watching? We aren't doing anything wrong!"

Zhou Huaming tugged at his tie. He was so angry at these stupid subordinates that he wanted to crack open their heads. He wanted to see if they had brains.

These two subordinates said aggrievedly, "But, CEO Zhou, how can we lower our attitude and speak when we can't even approach Xiao Lingyu?"

Zhou Huaming asked doubtfully, "Isn't she a vegetable vendor? Go to her stall!"

One of the subordinates said with a bitter face, "Yes, but she only appears to sell vegetables to the Gu... Wang Zhimin every morning. But every time we go over, there will be one or two people guarding her door. We can't get close at all. They will leave once Xiao Lingyu leaves. Moreover, sometimes the God of Death would be at her door. We were too scared even to get close."

Zhou Huaming was shocked. "You mean she is protected every day, and sometimes Jiang Tao will be there in person?"

"Yes!" The two subordinates nodded and said, "They are there every time."

Zhou Huaming was even more confused. "That's strange. Did Jiang Tao arrange all these?" However, what was the relationship between Jiang Tao and Xiao Lingyu? The Zhou Family hadn't found out that yet.

"We don't know." The two men shook their heads and said. Then, one of them asked, "CEO Zhou, are we still going to watch Xiao Lingyu?"

"Why?" Zhou Huaming scolded, "What is watching her going to help us?"

"Then, CEO Zhou, what should we do now?" One of the subordinates asked.

"How would I know?" Zhou Huaming shouted. He was really furious. After shouting, he said, "I will think of another way. You can go now."

After the two of them left, Zhou Huaming leaned back in his chair, feeling a little tired. He was smoking and thinking at the same time.

Then, he made a call.

As the call was answered, Zhou Huaming asked, "My people can't even get close to Xiao Lingyu, so what should we do? Are we going to target Xiao Lingye then?"

When Zhou Tanxiong heard his big brother, he frowned and narrowed his eyes slightly, "There are only seven days left before Wei 'Er's indictment. We have to make the best out of these seven days. Xiao Lingyu is still the key."

Zhou Huaming slightly frowned and said, "So, what do you mean?"

Zhou Tanxiong thought for a moment and said, "Since we can't get her from behind, then we'll attack her from the front!"

"Hmm..." Zhou Huaming pondered. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You're right." At this point, he paused and asked worriedly, "Tanxiong, how are things on your side?"
