Chapter 191: The Real King to the Queen !
Rong Xinghe then called Ningtao and informed her about Rong Yufan's involvement in the accident. Ningtao was affected the most in this incident and had almost lost her daughter this time. So she had all the right to know about what was happening.
But Ningtao was Lu Wei's wife. She could look through a situation clearly just like her husband. She didn't blamed Rong Xinghe for the accident. Instead , she scolded the girl for blaming herself over the matter.
"You know Wei more than anyone , Xinghe. These six men wouldn't dare to leave you. You are their sister and they are responsible for you. Moreover , they can't even decide the colour of their tie without discussing it with you and Xiao. They are so dependent on you both.
"And even if Wei ever decides to leave you , I will also divorce him. Ningtao stays where Xinghe stays. Me, Alix and you. A happy family."
The phone was on speaker when the woman said these words and the six men clearly heard Ningtao. Lu Wei pinched the space between his brows with a sigh. He always wondered whether Ningtao loved him or if she was in love with his sister !
"You are going to be punished when I come back , Mrs.Lu !", the man warned.
Ningtao smiled ,"I married you because Xinghe is your sister. You can't change the facts. And about punishment , I am waiting."
Lu Wei chuckled as Ningtao disconnected the call.
Mo Zixuan looked at Rong Xinge and asked the question on his mind ,"What do you plan to do with Zhou Che then ?"
"I think you should leave him.", Lu Wei massaged the girl's tense shoulders.
"Huh?"
"Xinghe... he was not in his senses when he did that. Although it was easy to persuade him because he was already hostile towards us , he can't still be blamed. Moreover , for Zhou Zhichen's sake , just let it be this time. Zhou Zhichen loved his brother a lot. If you destroy Zhou Che so ruthlessly , he won't be at peace in heaven.", the man said calmly.
It was not that Lu Wei was too merciful. It was just that he knew the softest spot of Zhou Che. He knew what would be the most unbearable pain for that man.
Rong Xinghe took a deep breath and nodded her head ,"I will return back the shares then."
"And what have you planned for Rong Yufan ?", Zhi Bo asked the girl.
"You will know tomorrow.", Rong Xinghe revealed a mysterious smile.
The six men looked at each other worriedly. They simply wished for the girl to stay strong throughout this battle. Because this fight was against the people she once considered family...

Next morning , Zhou Che woke up to find a team of lawyers from Zhi and Lu business empires standing at his doorsteps.
The man was confused. According to father Zhou , Rong Xinghe was going to handle everything from the dark. Then what was the legal team of both the influential business groups doing there ? What was going on ?
"Mr. Zhou. The power of attorney representative for both the groups believes that you were hypnotized into doing what you did to the Lu family. Traces of stillness inducing drug Clonazepam and anger inducing drug Cocaine were found in your blood. You were hypnotized and hence , Ms. Rong doesn't blame you completely.
"Yeah ! But she has warned you that you should give up on the thought of harming her friends and family. She wants you to know that she won't go easy on you if something like this happens again."
When he heard Senior Advocate Clara's words , Zhou Che was dumbfounded. Rong Xinghe was so angry on him that she wasn't willing to hold back even for their past's sake. The emptiness and bloodlust he had seen in her eyes were quite frightening this time.
"Did she actually considered to look at the evidence ?", Zhou Che asked anxiously. If Rong Xinghe had expected him to be innocent for even once , it would mean that she still cared about him , right ?
"Yes.", the lawyers nodded.
"And there is one more thing , Mr. Zhou. Ms. Rong has decided to return back the Zhou Digital Enterprises to you. She has signed the share transfer papers and has given back the 70% of your business back to you. Here are the documents.", Advocate Clara passed the papers to the man.
"Since you had nothing to do with the accident , she doesn't wish to bother you anymore.", the lawyers commented and left.
"That poor child. She is so righteous.", Father Zhou sighed and headed back to his room to take care of his still unconscious wife.

After some seconds of contemplation , Zhou Che took a deep breath and pulled out his phone as he made a call.
"Military Chief Rong Xinghe speaking...", the girl's sweet and gentle yet professional voice came through the opposite end.
"Xinghe... Its me. Che.", Zhou Che said in a low and nervous voice ,"Don't disconnect the call please. Just hear me out."
Rong Xinghe remained silent for sometime before she replied ,"I think there is nothing to talk about , Mr. Zhou. I hope the lawyers have made my intentions clear to you. You can continue your life normally now. And I would appreciate it if you would stay away from my family."
"Xinghe... I... Look there are many things I want to talk to you about. Can we please meet up ?", Zhou Che wanted to apologize to the girl face to face.
"I am busy and I don't think that's a good idea , Mr. Zhou.", Rong Xinghe had no intention of continuing the conversation with the man. She had more important things to do today.
Zhou Che shook his head guiltily when the girl hung up on him. Why would she want to talk to him ? He had already hurt her so much.
But no matter what , he had to apologize to her. Otherwise , he wouldn't be able to face himself in the mirror again. He had yelled so rudely at her back then. He couldn't believe that he had doubted his Xinghe. He knew her for an entire year , yet he had been so insensitive towards her.
This was the difference between Rong Xinghe and Zhou Che. There was a time in their life when they both had to decide whether to trust the other person or not.
When Zhou Zhichen died , he easily believed that Rong Xinghe had killed him.
But even when she almost lost her brother , sister-in-law and niece in that accident , she chose to trust her instincts and avoided to target him. Otherwise , she would not have even bothered looking at the evidences supporting him.
"I hurt you a lot Xinghe. I wronged you and even disappointed Zhichen. But I will earn your forgiveness first. And after that , I will win back your heart. I know that I need to give you time and that I need to be patient when it comes to you. I am willing to do it. I am willing to do anything to gain back your love , my Xinghe.", the man smiled as he looked at his phone's wallpaper. It was still his girl. His first love, his Xinghe.
Alas ! Only if he knew that the real King to this Queen was arriving back soon...
