Chapter 431: It's Hard to Fly
He Sang leaned against the car window. The sea breeze grew stronger, mixed with a drizzle. Liuzi walked to the driver's door and said, "I've got a cargo ship. You can stay there for the night. Hotels aren't safe. After all, our true identity was exposed in the Peace Building."
Liang Chihui stretched his right hand out of the window and stared at the long piece of cigarette ash. "Are the crew members keeping their mouths shut?"
"I tied them up and dumped them in the cargo hold."
"Evacuate tomorrow morning and give the crew one thousand yuan to keep quiet. They have elderly and children, so they won't call the police and cause trouble." Liang Chihui put out his cigarette. "At seven o'clock, go to the bus station and pick up Fang Anyi."
"Send it to the dock?"
"Um."
Liang Chihui let go of the cigarette, and the butt fell into the mud and sand. He pushed the door and got out of the car.
He Sang also got off the car obediently.
The freighter is located at Ferry No. 17, the southernmost berth in the entire harbor, with a captain at the helm, a deputy captain on duty, and a crew member who makes the fire and cooks.
Liuzi threw their cell phones into the sea and locked the small door of the cargo hold.
Completely isolated from the outside world.
Liang Chihui stood on the deck for an entire afternoon and smoked a pack of cigarettes. Liuzi caught a net bag full of small fish and shrimps. He Sang couldn't get used to the smell of barbecued seafood, so he steamed some sea cucumber and egg custard, ate it, and fell asleep in a daze until the early morning.
When I woke up, there was rustling noise in the corridor.
She lifted the blanket and went out following the sound. There was a man and a woman on the deck. The moon sank into the sea level, and the faint morning light sprinkled on the sails. Fang Anyi was sitting awkwardly, and Liang Chihui's back looked a bit quiet and lonely.
"There's one million in cash and four million in checks in the box. I really can't carry so much cash. The checks are from my classmate's beauty salon account. I used the money from selling paintings to invest in it. This is an extra procedure, so it can't be traced back to you."
Liang Chihui roughly counted the money, poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her, "Thank you."
Fang Anyi took the cup of water and asked, "Will you... return to China in the future?"
"Within three days of my departure, I will transfer 10 million to your classmate's account, 5 million in principal and 5 million in interest."
"That's not what I meant!" Fang Anyi blushed, "I meant..."
Liang Chihui had been in the entertainment industry for ten years, and he knew exactly what women were looking for, whether they were after money, affection, or fame.
"I'm sorry, Miss Fang, I've failed you. I won't be returning home."
Fang Anyi looked dejected, "Then...if I travel..."
"welcome."
She was surprised, "Do you welcome me?"
Liang Chihui added, "My wife and I will entertain you. Whatever you want, a manor in the Maldives, a horse farm in Thailand, a club in Bangkok, a plane in Myanmar, all can belong to you."
Fang Anyi's loneliness returned, "What's the use of those for me?"
He lowered his eyes.
He stared at the thin and weak shadow in the corner of the door, but didn't poke it.
"I have one last question for you." Fang Anyi mustered up her courage, "Suppose Miss He doesn't exist between us, you..."
"There are no hypotheses in this world." Liang Chihui said word by word, "So-called hypotheses are just self-consolation for desperate men and women in difficult situations."
Fang Anyi lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "Yes."
Her mother told her that women should keep their eyes open, because men are best at coaxing and deceiving.
A man who is unwilling to even deceive you is destined to be unrequited.
"I was confused for a while. I hated Miss He and the woman next to you named Ni Hong." She smiled. "Love is instinct, not love is a choice. I accept my instinct. I can afford to love and lose. I respect your choice."
Liang Chihui looked at her.
"Take care of yourself." Fang Anyi put on his hat and jumped ashore.
When he came out of the ferry, a Hongqi sedan with a Hebei Province license plate just stopped, the headlights flashed, and Fang Jingru got out.
"Dad—" she was stunned, "Why are you in Guangping City?"
Fang Jingru's expression was grim. "Did you sell your grandfather's paintings of 'Spring Rain' and 'Wild Geese Returning'?"
Fang Anyi had a bad feeling, "Are you on a business trip out of town?"
"Did you sell it at a high price?"
The father and daughter were at loggerheads, neither willing to give in.
She said frankly, "I sold it."
"It sold for 3.72 million, right?"
"right."
"Nonsense!" Fang Jingru fretted, "Do you know how much I owe you?"
Fang Anyi couldn't hear anything. She looked over Fang Jingru's head and spotted Liang Jishen and Zhao Kai's car. She woke up as if from a dream. "So you deliberately set me up, luring me into a trap, following me, and taking the opportunity to find out the whereabouts of the Second Young Master?"
"An Yi, he's a bad guy. The Liang Group laundered 10 billion yuan and forged false accounts to transfer public funds. Do you understand the concept of public funds? They're provincial taxes, the funds raised by the group, not Liang Chihui's! He committed serious economic crimes. His mother, Yao Wenji, colluded with foreign forces. The second wife and her son are completely bad people."
"He never bullied me. I have no say in this. I won't help you!" Fang Anyi roared, "Why did you arrest him through me? Why did you use me? You are so shameless!"
Liang Jishen walked over and said, "Miss Fang, love is a minor matter, justice is a major matter. You protected Liang Chihui, not only harming yourself, but also him. If he successfully leaves the country, Hebei Province will lose tens of billions. Will you give up? Have you thought about his fate in Thailand?"
Fang Anyi looked Liang Jishen up and down. "You are so passionate, is it because of great love or small love? If Miss He was not in the hands of the Second Young Master, would you have gone to such great lengths? I remember there were rumors that your father forced Madam Yao and your mother abused her stepson. The Third Young Master thought he was a hero, but did he deal with his own mother? He was very active in dealing with his brother."
"An Yi, how outrageous!"
Liang Jishen said nothing.
Fang Jingru hurriedly apologized, "An Yi was naive and impulsive, and she spoke without restraint, and she misunderstood Madam Ji and Mr. Liang. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with her."
Fang Jingru was a respectable man, and spoke respectfully, so Liang Jishen naturally stepped down. "Mr. Fang, you are too kind. I admire your daughter's straightforwardness. Miss Fang has made great contributions, and it is Mr. Fang's good parenting that has helped her."
One of the accompanying persons was the captain of the Baolin District Bureau of Guangping City, who was in charge of the Heping Building brawl. Since Liang Chihui was the mastermind of the brawl, the captain assisted Zhao Kai, while Zheng Ping belonged to the Hanghai District Bureau of Changlai City and was not qualified to participate.
According to status, Zhao Kai is the head of the municipal bureau in another province, and the captain is at the district level. He is also the one who arrested Liang Chihui, who is registered in Hebei Province. Therefore, Zhao Kai is in charge while the captain deploys the troops on the scene.
There is the sea area to the east of the pier, and it is deployed in layers to the south, west and north.
