Residents and business owners near Jinglanxiang saw several police cars speeding in, soon filled with people, flooring the gas pedal, and speeding away, and couldn't help but discuss it amongst themselves.

What happened? Those thugs who were taken away often came to Jinglanxiang, coming and going fiercely. Anyone who looked at them too much would be intimidated. It seems that two of their leaders were also arrested, and even the manager was taken away.

Jing Lanxiang is backed by the Huashi Chamber of Commerce. Who would dare to take them all down?

In the car, Hu Jun contacted the Fu family and had the wrecked van at the entrance to be towed away.

When Yuan Zhuan and his two companions arrived at the police station, the Fu family's Mercedes-Benz van also arrived.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Yuan?" A young man in a black suit emerged from the shadows, walked respectfully to a spot about a meter away from Yuan Zhuan, and asked.

"Were you sent by General Manager Fu?" Qi Ming stepped aside, blocking the young man's view of Yuan Zhuan.

"Yes, Mr. Fu asked me to deliver the car. Here are the car keys." The young man, his view blocked, didn't make any extra expressions. Instead, he took a few steps back and became even more respectful.

As expected, Mr. Fu was right; this Mr. Yuan does not like strangers.

Qi Ming accepted it, saying, "Thank you."

The young man left quickly, and Qi Ming looked at the van parked at the branch office entrance, his eyes sparkling. "Boss, it's a Mercedes-Benz." No man dislikes a car.

"Go back and ask Cao Ming for money to buy a Hongqi business car." Support domestic products, after all.

"Hey!!" Qi Ming, abandoning his usual serious and upright demeanor, stood at attention, grinning from ear to ear.

Ju Qinian, who hadn't seen Yuan Zhuan and the others enter for half a day, came out to look for them and happened to overhear these two sentences.

His expression stiffened for a moment; a Hongqi business van isn't something you can just buy on a whim.

The fact that someone dares to say they want to buy something only proves one thing: they are truly wealthy.

Yuan Zhuan noticed Ju Qinian as soon as he appeared.

"Director Ju."

Yuan Zhuan followed Director Ju to his office, while Hu Jun and Qi Ming stayed behind to take statements.

What is your relationship with Lao Pei?

Yuan Zhuan: That's really direct.

“Friend.” Yuan Zhuan wasn’t going to lie; it was the truth.

"Friends?" Ju Qinian clearly didn't believe it. A mayor and a businessman, what kind of friends? What a joke.

Yuan Zhuan did not continue to answer this question. The matter had been resolved, and she needed to deal with the rest separately.

"You..." Ju Qinian was about to continue asking questions.

Ring ring...

The phone on the table rang.

Yuan Zhuan looked at the phone on the table, expressionless, but for some reason, Ju Qinian felt that there was something wrong with her.

Could it be that they know who called? Hesitantly, he picked up the receiver, but his gaze was fixed on Yuan Zhuan.

"Chief, Chief Liu is dead. It was a car accident on Fuling Road."

After hanging up the phone, Ju Qinian's gaze couldn't be more direct.

"Why is Director Ju looking at me like that?" Yuan Zhuan asked with a faint smile, seemingly puzzled by Ju Qinian's gaze.

"What do you think?" His eyes were unfriendly.

"Director Ju, did you call me here to play a guessing game?"

Ju Qinian: ...

If it weren't for Lao Pei's introduction, his first priority would be to take the person under control.

Taking a deep breath, Ju Qinian said, "Did you tamper with Liu Huan's car?"

Yuan Zhuan: ...

She laughed angrily. "Director Ju, are you preparing to make a wrongful judgment? Using baseless and unfounded statements to convict someone is against the bottom line of the law. As the director, you surely don't need an ordinary citizen like me who doesn't know much about the law to teach you, do you? Anyone who didn't know better would think you had some private relationship with this Liu Huan, otherwise why would you lose your mind and talk nonsense?" Her eyes flashed coldly, and she felt extremely suffocated.

Yuan Zhuan felt an urge to punch someone!

Ju Qinian is someone who dares to make bold guesses, but he gets very unhappy when the guess falls on her.

Ju Qinian was not angry. He crossed his hands and placed them on the table. His serious posture, downturned eyes, and sharp gaze revealed to Yuan Zhuan the stubbornness and obstinacy deep in his soul.

"Feel free to investigate. My people and I have a clear conscience."

Yuan Zhuan did not linger for long and left with his men.

When Ju Qinian, who was working overtime, finally obtained Yuan Zhuan's true identity information, he remained silent for a long time before raising his head in a daze, throwing the documents on the table, and letting out a sneer.

"This world is getting stranger and stranger." How can a short male be a nine-year-old child? From his voice, speech, behavior, and every move, he doesn't seem like a child at all.

He rubbed his face hard several times, took a deep breath, and dialed his old friend's number.

The call was answered quickly. "It's me."

"Old Ju? What are you doing so late at night?" Pei Jun's loud voice rang out, as shrill as thunder.

Holding the microphone further away, Ju Qinian asked sternly, "Is Yuan Zhou really just a little girl? A first-year junior high student?"

"Hey, didn't you already confirm this an hour ago? Why are you asking again?"

Beiyu.

When Qian Sijiu and Su Zan arrived in Beiyu City with their families, it was already 11 p.m.

After exiting the national highway, they saw the car waiting for them.

Fu Dong brought his men to personally pick them up.

"Hello, Mr. Su, Mr. Qian, welcome to Beiyu City. I am Fu Dong, the general manager of Fu's Group."

The tall and handsome young man was as dazzling as the rising sun, even under the car headlights.

So this is the 'young master' of the Fu family who disappeared twenty years ago!

Su Zan blankly extended his hand and shook hands with Fu Dong, and Qian Sijiu followed suit.

"Please follow my car, I will take you to a hotel under our Fu Group."

"Thank you for your trouble."

Bai Jianqiang, who was waiting nearby, nodded to the two men and then got into the driver's seat.

The cars belonging to the Su and Qian families were sandwiched between the two, with well-trained Fu family guards in both cars.

This strong sense of security put both the Qian and Su families at ease.

They had been traveling all night, and in addition to the fatigue from driving, they were also extremely tense. Now that they suddenly felt safe, they became sleepy.

"Old Su, let me drive." Mrs. Su switched seats with her husband and lovingly adjusted the chair for him. "You take a nap, I'll wake you up when we get there."

"Okay." Although I felt sleepy, after lying down and closing my eyes, my mind was a complete mess.

One moment it's Zhu Gui's extreme arrogance and viciousness, the next it's the scene of him being chased by Baldy Scarface, and then it's the mysterious Yuan Zhou and his powerful and invincible subordinates. In short, my mind is like a movie playing in my head, and I just can't fall asleep.

He now understood their purpose in coming to rescue them: they were essentially helping the Fu family.

Thinking of the purpose of the Huashi Chamber of Commerce behind Zhu Gui, Su Zan shook his head. That Yuan Zhuan was no pushover; he seemed like the kind of person who feared nothing.

What the future holds, we'll see as we go. We're tied to the Fu family's ship. With Yuan Zhou around, we're guaranteed to survive. And if we survive, we can do business anywhere.

If all else fails, we can always start over.
