Chapter 310 Arrest

Wei Chi nodded, seemingly sensing the somewhat heavy and oppressive atmosphere. He eased the tension, saying, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. I've arranged everything."

That's what they say, but Pei Jingchuan is, after all, an absolute madman.

In case the dog gets cornered and does something rash...

It was late at night when they finished eating. Wei Chizheng took the initiative to clear the dishes. Xie Nanzhi wanted to help, but he pressed her down on the sofa and said, "You rest well, I'll do it."

He carried the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, and just as he turned on the tap, Xie Nanzhi's footsteps came from behind him. "I won't lift a finger, I'll just stay with you."

Wei Chizheng paused for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Alright."

In a little while, Xie Nanzhi will be heading to the airport; they don't have much time left.

Perhaps, this is what it means to understand each other without words.

Xie Nanzhi stood not far from him, watching his busy figure with a smile on her lips.

Wei Chizheng came out of the kitchen, took a phone call, and went to the study.

Xie Nanzhi picked up the remote, turned on the TV, tuned to the financial channel that Wei Chizheng loved to watch, and then got up and went to the balcony to bring in his dried shirt.

She sat on the sofa, picked up the iron next to her, and slowly ironed her shirt, while the voice of a financial news anchor came from the television.

"Today, the Wei Group's stock continued to fall, and there are increasing doubts about the abilities of the new chairman, Wei Jing..."

Xie Nanzhi thought that Pei Jingchuan did have some ability, but he was too eager for quick success, and his previous success was achieved through illegal channels.

To be honest, he and Wei Chizheng are not even in the same league.

If the Wei family had remained in his hands, bankruptcy would have been inevitable.

After an unknown amount of time, this was the scene that Wei Chizheng saw when he came out of the study.

Xie Nanzhi leaned back on the sofa, holding an iron in her hand, intently ironing his shirt. A ball game was playing on TV, but she was a little sleepy, her eyelids drooping slightly.

He walked over, sat down gently beside her, took the iron from her hand and put it aside, rested her head on his shoulder, and whispered, "If you're sleepy, take a nap. I can do the shirt myself."

Xie Nanzhi nuzzled his shoulder, closed her eyes, and said softly, "It's okay, I'll be done ironing soon. I've ironed your favorite dark blue shirt and put it in the closet."

Wei Chizheng felt a warmth in his heart. "Okay, you can sleep for a while. I'll wake you up when it's time."

Wei Chizheng lowered his head and gently kissed the top of her head, then reached out and pulled the blanket from the sofa over her.

The living room lights remained warm and yellow, the TV volume was low, and the two people leaned against each other, their breathing gradually becoming steady.

The night outside the window was growing darker, but inside the room, there was warmth and peace of mind.

very nice.

Because that sense of security comes from the person he loves.

Although Xie Nanzhi only slept for half an hour, it was the most restful sleep she had had in the past few days.

Before dawn, Wei Chizheng drove her to the airport.

Adults don't usually part ways with tears and unbearable sorrow, but Wei Chizheng's eyes still revealed his reluctance.

He repeatedly told me, "Call me when the plane lands. Sleep a little longer on the plane. I won't be in Hong Kong for the next few days, so take good care of yourself. I'll be back as soon as I'm done with things in Beijing."

Xie Nanzhi chuckled, "This is the third time you've said it. Don't worry, I'm not a child."

After saying that, she let go of Wei Chizheng's hand. "Okay, I'm going to the security check now."

Wei Chizheng didn't say anything, just grunted in response, and watched Xie Nanzhi's figure disappear before turning his gaze away.

At that moment, Wei Chizheng felt a void in his heart.

After a long while, Wei Chizheng slowly turned around and dragged his heavy steps out of the airport hall.

The sky outside was beginning to lighten with the first light of dawn, but it couldn't illuminate his somewhat gloomy heart.

About forty minutes later, Wei Chizheng returned home.

Pushing open the door, a wave of silence washed over me.

Especially since he and Xie Nanzhi were still eating here a few hours later, it seemed particularly deserted at this moment.

He walked to the spot where Xie Nanzhi had been sitting and gently stroked the sofa, as if he could still feel the lingering warmth of Xie Nanzhi.

Wei Chizheng took a deep breath, sat on the sofa, took out his phone, and looked at his chat history with Xie Nanzhi. Those loving words had now become his comfort and solace for his longing.

He couldn't help but send Xie Nanzhi a message: "Wife, let me know you're safe as soon as you arrive in the port."

Meanwhile, Xie Nanzhi was sitting in the waiting room when she saw the message from Wei Chizheng. She couldn't describe how she felt.

In short, it's very uncomfortable.

Xie Nanzhi gazed at the azure sky and white clouds outside the window, but all she could think about was him.

On the other side, the Wei family's old house.

As soon as it was light, a group of people arrived at the Wei family's ancestral home.

The maid opened the door, her attitude arrogant, "What time is it? Why are you knocking already..."

Before the maid could finish speaking impatiently, the other party had already produced identification. "Mr. Wei Jing is suspected of illegal detention. We need to ask Mr. Wei Jing to come over."

The maid was taken aback and dared not say anything.

The leader then asked, "Which bedroom upstairs is Wei Jing in?"

The maid stammered, "It's...it's the third room on the right."

As soon as he finished speaking, the group had already gone upstairs.

The rustling sounds caused panic among everyone in the villa, including Pei Jingchuan.

When the group entered the bedroom, he was already dressed in light gray pajamas. "What's up?"

Pei Jingchuan's gaze was sharp, carrying a sinister air that others lacked.

The law enforcement officers showed their credentials and said, "You must be Wei Jing. Someone has reported you for illegal detention. Come with us."

Then, the person behind him took out handcuffs.

But who is Pei Jingchuan? How could he be so easily manipulated? He frowned and refused to cooperate, "Officer, are you mistaken? How could I possibly do something illegal?"

"Whether there's a mistake or not, we'll find out once we come with you. Men, take him away."

Pei Jingchuan's attitude immediately hardened, his eyes filled with warning, "New here? I've never seen you before. But you've got guts, even your Director Zhao wouldn't dare speak to me like that."

The man smiled. "Is that so? No wonder Mr. Wei is so arrogant. It's a pity that Director Zhao has been invited for tea by his superiors. I'm afraid he can't protect you."

Pei Jingchuan's face darkened, turning ashen.

Zhao Mingyu was actually under investigation? He had no idea he was aware of this.

What happened?

Then they heard, "Mr. Wei, please cooperate with the investigation. If you have been wronged, we will definitely clear your name."

Pei Jingchuan is powerful in the capital, but judging from the other party's posture, he shouldn't act rashly.

Everything is happening too strangely, could it be?

Pei Jingchuan suddenly thought of something and immediately looked at Butler Zhou outside the door. "Butler Zhou, go and check Wei Chizheng's whereabouts. Where is he now?"
