The next morning, Zhou Qiming directly took the earliest flight back to his hometown.

As the New Year approaches, the streets and alleys are full of joy. When walking on the road, you can see a few children playing, with smiles on their faces, carefree and free from worries.

Zhou Qiming couldn't remember the last time he was so happy. Since his father passed away, he rarely ran out to play around like this.

Back at the house in the old city, everything here is so familiar, but unfortunately this familiar place did not leave many good memories for Zhou Qiming.He walked all the way, and soon came to the door of the house. The sound insulation effect in the old city was relatively average. He could hear the sound from the kitchen when he stood outside.

Zhou Qiming stood at the door for a while, put his hand on the doorknob, and kept silent for a while before pushing the door open.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the people in the house seemed very surprised. She poked her head out from the kitchen. She was surprised at first, then immediately turned off the fire, wiped her hands on the apron, and then came up to meet her.

"Qi Ming, why did you come back so early this year?" Seeing her son come back, Yuan Xiaofeng was also very surprised, because this time Zhou Qiming not only came back early, but also kept silent, leaving her unprepared.

"I finished work early this year. I missed you and came back." Zhou Qiming looked at his mother who came up to him, untied her apron belt, and said, "Come on mom, you are not in good health, you should rest morerest."

Yuan Xiaofeng was not willing to let him take over at first, and was still muttering "how hard it can be", but seeing his son who cared about him, his smile couldn't help rising, and in the end he didn't argue with him anymore, just pattedHis shoulders, and then sat down on the sofa.

Yuan Xiaofeng, who got a chance to rest, sat on the sofa. She casually picked up an orange from the fruit box on the coffee table, then broke it open, and then picked up the pulp and stuffed it into her mouth. A happy program was playing on the TV, but Yuan Xiaofeng was stillUnable to bear it, he poked his head from time to time to see what was going on in the kitchen.

Occasionally, when Zhou Qiming looked back inadvertently, he could always see his mother hurriedly turned her head away unnaturally, and then laughed that did not come from the heart.In fact, Zhou Qiming knew that his mother's heart was now attached to him, so it was naturally difficult to watch the show, but he didn't try to expose Yuan Xiaofeng.

Zhou Qiming's three dishes came out of the pan very quickly, and he brought the dishes one by one and called Yuan Xiaofeng to come and eat.Although Yuan Xiaofeng didn't say anything, he was very happy in his heart, and he ate a little more when he ate.

After lunch, Zhou Qiming went back to his room to rest. He didn't sleep well last night, and he started to work again when he came back today. He really felt a little tired. He told Yuan Xiaofeng that he would wash the dishes and go to bed by himself.As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Xiaofeng drove him back to the room to rest, and said that he didn't have to worry about the dishes, she would wash them.

This time Zhou Qiming didn't argue with him or her any more. He knew very well that his mother had such a personality, and she couldn't be free when she was really free, so he didn't say anything, nodded and went back to the room to rest.

Zhou Qiming returned to the familiar room and threw himself into the bed. He looked up and looked around. There were still posters pasted on the walls when he was a student, and now they were starting to turn yellow.The posters were photos of some of the roles his father had played, and some of them were not very clear. At that time, Zhou Qiming specially found a shop to customize them. His father was very happy when he saw this poster, and had a good time.

Thinking about the past, Zhou Qiming slowly closed his eyes again. Once he closed them, he fell into a drowsy sleep.This sleep was probably the most solid sleep he had had in a while, probably because he let go of his guard in a familiar environment.

He fell into a deep sleep this time, and it was almost evening when he woke up again.Zhou Qiming sat up in a daze, and found his mobile phone. He looked at the time and found that it was almost five o'clock.

The people who were still a little sleepy looked at their mobile phones, and suddenly saw a message and immediately woke up.Zhou Qiming turned on his phone and checked repeatedly, only to realize that he had read it correctly.

The message was from Jiang Li, and there was a very short video, which was still a surveillance video.Zhou Qiming opened it and looked back and forth several times before he noticed a familiar face in an inconspicuous corner.

If I'm not mistaken, the person sitting in the corner and staring at Xie Yao seems a little familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere.

The monitoring screen was actually not very clear. Zhou Qiming watched it several times before he could confirm it. If remember correctly, the person staring at Xie Yao seemed to be Chu Xiao's assistant.

It is also a coincidence, in fact, Zhou Qiming sees so many people every day, generally speaking, he does not have a deep impression on anyone.But a few times before, when Xie Yao's team had not been disbanded, there were occasional activities that required participation, and every time Xie Yao called for himself to go.Most of the time, he didn't go there much, but there were a few times when Zhou Qiming really couldn't shirk Xie Yao's request, so he accepted the appointment perfunctorily.

Every time there is an event, Zhou Qiming will wait for Xie Yao in the backstage. Some venues with good conditions will provide a separate lounge, but some will not, so Zhou Qiming and Chu Xiao’s assistant have met several times, and the one they metDuring those few times, something happened to his assistant, so Zhou Qiming could notice him every time.

In his impression, if he remembered correctly, this person seemed to be called Yu Xun.Zhou Qiming thought about the name carefully, and then suddenly realized that this person seemed to have appeared beside Zhuang Yu, because a month ago, Zhuang Yu suddenly changed his assistant, and only said that the previous family had something to do and went back to his hometownYes, Zhou Qiming didn't pay much attention to it at the time, he just thought it was an ordinary thing, after all, he often changed assistants.

Combined with what Xie Yao said to himself before, he asked himself if he had ever doubted Zhuang Yu. In the past, he might not have thought about it deeply, but now, those pictures that cannot be pieced together can vaguely start to be strung together.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qiming couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, because he didn't dare to think about it any further.

If the truth is what he thinks, then Zhuang Yu has been by his side for so many years, and this situation seems to have been planned for a long time, so long that Zhou Qiming didn't know when it was set up.

He had no defense against Zhuang Yu, and Zhuang Yu happened to take advantage of this to let him fall into the trap.

Based on the information obtained, the general situation can already be assumed. Zhou Qiming thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why Zhuang Yu did all this.

The new year is coming soon. On the night of New Year's Eve, Zhou Qiming saw Yuan Xiaofeng sitting on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala happily. After thinking for a long time, he still told her the truth.

"Mom, I have something to do this year. I'm going back in the second year of junior high school." Zhou Qiming sat beside Yuan Xiaofeng with a plate of cut fruits in his hand.

Yuan Xiaofeng originally stared at the show and did not speak.Looking at his mother's appearance, Zhou Qiming almost thought she hadn't heard it, and when he was about to repeat it again, Yuan Xiaofeng spoke.

"I see, go, it's okay," Yuan Xiaofeng took the plate in his hand, picked up a fork and forked a piece of fruit, "You have been absent-minded for the past two days, mom knows you have important things to do, go."

After saying this, she turned her head to look at her son, and sighed softly, "Just take care of yourself."

Hearing this, Zhou Qiming nodded. He knew that Yuan Xiaofeng was not willing to give up on himself, but right now he had more important things to do, and he couldn't wait any longer.

In the past few days, Zhou Qiming used his connections, and finally got in touch with Chu Xiao's backer.He had heard Xie Yao's assistant talk about this a long time ago. At that time, Xiaohan complained for Xie Yao, saying that Chu Xiao's soaring sky and frequent provocations in recent years must be because there are people behind her.

Xie Yao didn't say anything at that time, but just told Xiaohan not to think too much, and there was no need to fuss with Chu Xiao too much.Thinking about it now, if Xie Yao cared more at that time, he probably wouldn't have suffered so many grievances for no reason.

Thinking back to those days when Xie Yao was smeared without warning, Chu Xiao took the lead in expressing his opinion without any fear at all, which shows how strong the background of the people behind him is, which gave him the confidence to speak like this.

Zhou Qiming knew in his heart that if he confronted Zhuang Yu directly, the other party would definitely not tell the truth easily, so he must have enough evidence to prove it.Speaking of Zhuang Yu, Yuan Xiaofeng casually said a few words to him in the past few days, saying that there is no one in the house next door to them recently, and it seems that no one has been back for a long time.

Zhou Qiming was not surprised to hear these things. In the past few years, Zhuang Yu could visit his home every year when he came back to celebrate the New Year, but this year is different. He was indifferent to Zhuang Yu a few days ago, and Zhuang Yu is extremely sensitive. How could he feel that?If you don't see the changes and know that you won't be seen, you won't rush to find it.

As for the situation of Zhuang Yu's family, Zhou Qiming knew that if he hadn't come back with him in previous years, Zhuang Yu would probably not have come back for the New Year by himself.

Similar to himself, Zhuang Yu was also raised by his mother since he was a child, but unlike himself, Zhuang Yu never met his father since he was a child.This was what Zhuang Yu told himself.

In recent years, Zhuang Yu's mother has also been away from home all year round, and after Zhuang Yu became famous, the relationship between the two mothers and children was maintained by basic transfer transactions, and basically there was not much contact, not even a word of concern.But Zhuang Yu didn't care too much about it. He had a mediocre relationship with his mother, and he never thought of taking the initiative to contact her.

So under such circumstances, Zhou Qiming was not surprised that Zhuang Yu would not come back for the New Year, but obviously, this was not something he had to consider.

When Zhou Qiming couldn't sleep at night, after thinking for a long time, he took out his mobile phone and called Xie Yao's original number, but no accident, the number couldn't be dialed.

He thought about it, and finally sent the sentence "Happy New Year, Yaoyao", even though he knew in his heart that Xie Yao would not receive it.

But how much he wanted to say to Xie Yao in front of Xie Yao, happy new year.In previous years, Xie Yao was by his side during the New Year, but now, he no longer has this opportunity.
