As soon as Fang Cheng got in the car, cold sweat broke out on his forehead that he had been holding back for a long time. He Siyi drove the car out of the villa and handed him a tissue: "Are you okay?"
Fang Cheng's hand that took the tissue to wipe the sweat was shaking a little. At this moment, his back was covered with cold sweat. After a while, he took a long breath and said in a nonchalant way: "Fortunately, he didn't admit it." Come out to me."
"You mean Mr. Shen?" He Siyi's eyes widened slightly: "Have you seen him before?"
When she thought that Fang Cheng had met Shen Zizhuo before, He Siyi tightened her grip on the steering wheel in fear. The slightly slippery tires betrayed her apparent calmness.
"I've never met him, but I know him. I never thought that Brother Li's boss would be him." Fang Cheng thought he was being deceived when he first saw Shen Zizhuo.
He Siyi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "It's okay if you haven't seen him before. How do you know him? As far as I know, this is the first time he has appeared. Even Brother Li has seen the boss himself for the first time."
"There are many things that I can't tell you right now." Fang Cheng smiled bitterly. This was Shen Zizhuo's first time in S City. He was an out-and-out native of S City.
He Siyi was used to him being like this, and knew that he had confidentiality requirements. There were many things that he couldn't tell her now, and the less she knew, the safer it would be for him.
"He just wanted to test you, you didn't show any flaws, did you?" He Siyi did not ask further questions, but was worried about Shen Zizhuo asking Lian Jun to test Fang Cheng.
"No, I know he is testing me and hiding his clumsiness should not make them suspicious," Fang Cheng said.
He Siyi felt relieved and asked: "Then shall we continue with our original plan?"
"We can't continue. Let it go first. I need to ask for permission before making plans." Fang Cheng shook his head. Bigger fish were hooked. If he could catch them all in one wait, he certainly couldn't be satisfied with just catching some small shrimps.
"Well, I'll listen to you." He Siyi nodded.
Fang Cheng smiled, stretched out his hand and rubbed her head: "You are hungry, I will make you a midnight snack when I go home."
He Siyi's lips curved into a bright smile: "Yeah."
…
The next day, Lan Tingju.
While the couple was still having breakfast, Lao Jiu came over in a hurry with his whole body wrapped around him.
"Young Master, Young Madam." He hurriedly entered the restaurant and saw the couple still having breakfast. Lao Jiu suppressed his anxiety again.
"It's so early, have you eaten?" An Zhisu looked at the time and saw that Lao Jiu came much earlier than usual.
"Not yet." Lao Jiu replied.
An Zhisu pointed to the chair: "Then sit down and eat together."
"No, Madam." Lao Jiu thanked An Zhisu, and then said to Ye Lancheng: "Young Master, my cousin sent a message to Seventh Brother late last night, and asked Seventh Brother to tell you."
Mr. Cousin?
Cheng Haoran?
An Zhisu pricked up his ears like a puppy.
"What news?" Ye Lancheng asked calmly.
Lao Jiu said: "Master Biao asked Brother Seven to tell the eldest son that Chen Li's boss is Shen Zizhuo. Master Biao met Shen Zizhuo last night."
"What!" Ye Lancheng didn't react yet, but An Zhisu was startled at first: "Did Shen Zizhuo recognize Haoran?"
She remembered that Ye Lancheng said that Cheng Haoran was on an undercover mission, and it seemed that he was undercover in the drug trafficking gang called Chen Li.
"Probably not." Lao Jiu replied.
Ye Lancheng patted the back of her hand to reassure her: "Shen Zizhuo has never met Haoran. More than ten years ago, Haoran was still a child."
Hearing this, An Zhisu was slightly relieved. Ye Lancheng's aunt's family only had one son. If he died in Shen Zizhuo's hands, his aunt would die of grief, and Ye Lancheng would definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.
After comforting his young wife, Ye Lancheng looked at Lao Jiu: "It seems that Xiao Shi's investigation is correct. Shen Zizhuo has been running a drug trafficking business abroad in recent years. He also earned the funds to support the Shen family from this area.
.”
"The money earned from drug trafficking was not clean. He used it for the Shen family. It could not only launder the money but also provide funds. It was a very smart way to kill two birds with one stone." An Zhisu commented pertinently.
Lao Jiu added: "Not only the Shen family is laundering money for him, but the Xiao Group is also laundering money for him. There must be many foreign institutions laundering money for him."
"Is drug trafficking so profitable?" An Zhisu said in shock.
Ye Lancheng knocked on her forehead: "Eat your food. Just listen to these things and don't interfere."
An Zhisu said obediently and continued eating, but his ears were still erect.
Ye Lancheng and Lao Jiu did not avoid her, and talked about business at the dinner table. The news came in time. Shen Zizhuo urgently needed a sum of funds, and most of it was for Xiao's investment project. Ye Lancheng and Su Ye could work together to do it.
This game will hold back the Xiao Group and prevent Shen Zizhuo from using this chess piece for the time being.
The next few days were uneventful, but Ye Lancheng became very busy. He often left before An Zhisu got up. He came back only after An Zhisu was about to fall asleep, knowing that An Zhisu would have to wait for him to come back every night.
I just want to sleep, so I try to come back as early as possible every day.
After being busy like this for several days, An Zhisu saw a piece of news on the news. The bidding for a major government project had ended. The winner was not the Hengcheng Group, which was unanimously optimistic by the outside world, nor the Shengshi Consortium that came out halfway, but a dark horse.
Xiao Group.
Seeing this news, An Zhisu knew what Ye Lancheng had been busy with recently. Last time at the dinner table, he said that he would join forces with Su Ye to make a plan to hold back the Xiao Group, and what he wanted to talk about was this project.
In the future, the Xiao Group will invest a lot of money and manpower in this project. For Ye Lancheng and Su Ye, although they have lost a huge profit, it can be regarded as holding back a large amount of Shen Zizhuo's funds. Generally speaking, this wave is
Beneficial.
An Zhisu had been busy for several days and was very happy to see this news. She was at An's house today, not far from Song Jiaren's law firm, so she called and made an appointment with Song Jiaren for dinner. The two best friends had not seen each other for many days.
We made an appointment and met at the restaurant at noon.
"Are you still busy with that criminal prosecution case?" An Zhisu asked while eating.
"Yeah, it's a bit troublesome. Fortunately, the court will be held in the next two days." Song Jiaren has been busy losing weight these days.
"What case is this? Don't you accept criminal prosecution? It's too troublesome to deal with the procuratorate." An Zhisu asked.
Song Jiaren was speechless and swallowed a mouthful of food before replying: "It's a coincidence. I saw that the family was really pitiful, so I felt soft and accepted it. You know me, if I don't accept it, I won't accept it. I will accept it."
I must be serious about helping others fight. No matter how troublesome it is, I have to bite the bullet. Fortunately, Xia Ning is not the prosecutor at the procuratorate, otherwise I would have an even bigger headache."
An Zhisu could understand Song Jiaren's mood very well. If she faced her future sister-in-law in court, it would be a bit fucked up.
"Poor baby, come here, eat more meat and supplement your nutrition. Isn't Jingze at home recently? I can still take care of you and lose weight." An Zhisu put some vegetables for her with distress.
"He is now working behind the scenes and is even busier than when he was filming. Recently, a TV series was launched in his studio, and he went with it," Song Jiaren said.
An Zhisu nodded and asked, "Where's Aunt Xia? I won't trouble you anymore, right?"
"I haven't seen her since your wedding." Song Jiaren shook her head. This was something that made her quite happy recently. She no longer had to compete with Xia's mother in her busy schedule.
"Oh, yes, it seems that compromise has begun. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard." An Zhisu smiled and patted his best friend on the shoulder.
Song Jiaren rolled her eyes. It would be great if Xia's mother really compromised. She was afraid that Xia's mother would stand still and she didn't know what big move she was holding back.
