“Your grandfather just came back from the Wang family’s place.”
The old man's face turned ashen; he was clearly furious.
"None of those bastards are home. They've probably hidden themselves away. Your grandfather is sending people to look for them everywhere."
At this point, Liu Sanmei was filled with anger.
Those sons of the Wang family have the guts to do it, but not the guts to take responsibility. They're truly useless.
"I see."
"Grandma, please be careful at home. I'll be home as soon as I get off work."
Ruan Qiushui comforted Liu Sanmei for a few moments and then hung up the phone.
"Hello, is this Mr. Peng?..."
Thinking of her worried sister-in-law and nephew at home, Ruan Qiushui felt a surge of anger and made a phone call.
"Thank you, Ms. Ruan, for the information, and thank you for your kind help. I wish us a future of mutual assistance and harmonious coexistence."
The man's voice was slightly excited. After exchanging a few polite words, he hung up the phone.
After Ruan Qiushui finished her work, she went home with Gu Changfeng, who had come to pick her up early.
It was completely dark outside, except for the streetlights outside Renshan Pharmaceutical Factory.
"Honey, are you tired? Let me help you carry it."
Gu Changfeng took the handbag from his wife's shoulder and carried it in his hand.
He didn't understand anything about his wife's pharmaceutical factory business, so he could only do his best to help her with some of the physical labor.
"When you arrived, was there any news from the Wang family?"
Knowing that their grandfather was looking for them, the Wang family knew they wouldn't return to the old Wang family house.
But where can this group of people hide?
If they are not brought to justice, they will be a ticking time bomb, making it difficult for people to feel at ease.
"There's still no news from the Wang family on Grandpa's side, but I think the people they sent must be in the vicinity."
Gu Changfeng glanced around calmly.
They've gone so far as to kidnap Wang Xinyue and Ruan Jiahe, how could they possibly show any mercy to their wives?
In the eyes of the Wang family, their daughter-in-law is probably the biggest thorn in their side.
I think so too.
Ruan Qiushui nodded in agreement.
"Why don't we lure them out? I'll be the bait?"
Ruan Qiushui and Gu Changfeng exchanged a glance, deciding it was best to reveal a weakness.
"Can."
Gu Changfeng readily agreed.
Anyway, he's confident he can protect his wife.
"Gu Changfeng, I forgot my things in the office. Could you go and get them for me? I'll wait for you here."
Ruan Qiushui deliberately spoke very loudly.
Thinking about the people who might be lying in ambush around me, I wasn't panicked at all.
Several security personnel were secretly protecting the area.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Gu Changfeng nodded and actually walked into the factory.
Ruan Qiushui stood still, deliberately stomping her feet out of boredom.
"Help! Help!"
Not far from the pharmaceutical factory, the cries for help of a young girl and the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.
As the footsteps drew closer, Ruan Qiushui spotted the girl's figure under the streetlights.
"Girl, help me! Someone is chasing me!"
The girl ran up to Ruan Qiushui and pointed to a spot where the streetlights couldn't reach.
"Pursuing you?"
Ruan Qiushui crossed her arms and looked the girl in front of her up and down.
She had thought that although the Wang family was down on their luck and poor, they still had some wealth.
They hired a thug, and this is their acting?
He showed no sign of panic or fear, and his eyes even held a hint of aggression; even a fool could tell something was wrong.
"Yes, that person is right behind us."
The girl paused for a moment, then nodded guiltily.
If she hadn't known her own acting skills were superb, she would have thought that Ruan Qiushui had seen through her act.
"Where are the people chasing you? Why haven't they followed us?"
Girl, please begin your performance.
"I...I don't know either."
The girl was pitiful and helpless.
"Why don't you come with me and take a look?"
The girl pointed again to the corner where the streetlights couldn't reach.
"I'll go with you?"
Ruan Qiushui pointed to herself.
And so you fell into your trap, didn't you?
"OK."
Ruan Qiushui really wanted to see how many people the Wang family had spent a fortune to hire to kidnap her.
Ruan Qiushui followed the girl out, glancing back discreetly.
Seeing Gu Changfeng nod towards the shadows, he followed, feeling much more at ease.
"It's just around the corner."
The girl stopped, turned around to look at Ruan Qiushui, and made sure she was close.
At this moment, the girl had already stepped into the dimly lit area with one foot. She turned her head, revealing half of her face in the light. Coupled with her ferocious expression of impending victory, she looked somewhat frightening.
"oh."
Ruan Qiushui touched the goosebumps that had suddenly appeared on her hands and then walked into the dimly lit area.
"Bang."
"ah."
"oh."
"Hmm."
"Um."
Ruan Qiushui watched as the four burly men were taken down by Gu Changfeng and the security guards, and the girl was bound and lying on the ground, feeling somewhat listless.
I thought I was going to see some exciting scenes, but it turned out to be a complete waste of talent.
"Wife, am I still as valiant as I used to be?"
Gu Changfeng showed off a little in front of his wife, just in case she thought he was too old and couldn't do it anymore.
"very nice."
Ruan Qiushui gave a thumbs up.
If she doesn't go along with Gu Changfeng's words now, she probably won't want to sleep well tonight.
"You already knew my identity?"
The girl had already been beaten to the ground, so there was nothing she couldn't understand.
"Of course, don't you know your acting is terrible?"
With acting skills like that, she probably wouldn't even qualify for an audition.
"Am I a bad actor?"
They practiced privately, and everyone said her acting was outstanding, even more realistic than the stars in TV dramas.
The girl turned to look at the four unconscious, burly men.
Unfortunately, all four of them were already unconscious at this point.
"Take him away and send him to the police station."
Gu Changfeng gave instructions to the security personnel and then took his wife home.
…
Two weeks later, the Wang family was removed from the list of prominent families in Beijing.
The anger of Shen Yongjun was quelled at the cost of imprisoning Wang's father and Wang He.
The mother then hurriedly returned to her old home in the countryside with her two sons and stayed inside.
Fushengtang was taken over by a businessman surnamed Peng and officially renamed Ankang Pharmacy.
"Sister Qiu, Mr. Peng is here. I'll go and bring in the tea I've brewed."
Zhou Yi knew that Sister Qiu and this man had something to talk about, so he prepared tea early on.
"Director Ruan, we meet again."
Peng Ankang sat opposite Ruan Qiushui, drinking the tea that Zhou Yi had just brought in, and his eyes lit up.
This tea is no ordinary tea; no wonder it's from the owner of the Ancient and Modern Auction House—he certainly has the resources.
"Mr. Peng, you seem to be in high spirits lately, as if you've had a happy occasion."
Ruan Qiushui glanced at Peng Ankang and smiled politely.
"That's all thanks to Director Ruan for making the connection."
Peng Ankang looked at Ruan Qiushui, his heart burning with desire.
How wonderful it would be to marry a woman like that!
Unfortunately, he couldn't handle a woman like that.
