"mom!"
Zhu Qianying's call interrupted Chen Jing's thoughts.
"Hmm?" Chen Jing turned to look at her daughter.
"Dinner's ready!" Zhu Qianying put her arm around her shoulder and pushed her out of the kitchen.
The servants had set out the food, but Chen Jing didn't come out. Zhu Qianying was a little worried, so she came over to check.
Sure enough, I saw my mom standing in front of the kitchen counter, phone in hand, facing the cupboard, seemingly lost in thought.
I guess she's thinking about her uncle's side of things again.
"Mom, shall we go for a walk after dinner?"
Speaking of which, the mother and daughter have been back for so long, but they haven't really gone out for a proper stroll. For both Zhu Qianying and Chen Jing, who have been away from L City for five years, there is always a vague feeling about it.
Chen Jing understood her daughter's thoughts, but she was afraid that her daughter would overthink things at home, so she suggested that she go out for a walk.
"Forget it, it's hot everywhere in this sweltering weather."
But Chen Jing was unwilling to run around. Just a few days ago, Zhu Zhizhou had caused a scene at the store, and who knew what he might do next.
Moreover, if even his parents and elder brother were driven away by the Zhu family, then the Zhu family is truly terrifying.
Of course, she wouldn't gamble with her daughter's safety for her own sake.
If she knew that Zhu Junwei had done far more despicable things than she knew, and that these things were far more terrible, she would probably tell her daughter to stay home and not go anywhere.
Once Chen Jing had made up her mind, no matter how her daughter tried to persuade her, she refused to go out.
In the end, Zhu Qianying had no choice but to give up.
Meanwhile, Yi Changxing, who was detained for obstructing justice, was finally released today.
A large group of reporters, having received word of the news, waited outside. As soon as they saw Yi Changxing come out, they quickly surrounded him.
Yi Changxing, who had been detained for several days, looked extremely disheveled. Even with his face wrapped in gauze, the blue and purple bruises on his face were still faintly visible. He limped out with crutches, and his pitiful appearance immediately startled the media reporters.
However, the journalists were all used to big events, and someone quickly reacted and handed him the microphone.
"Mr. Yi, were you subjected to police brutality?"
This topic was also a hot topic, so the other reporters immediately quieted down, held out their microphones, and waited for Yi Changxing to explode with rage.
Surprisingly, Yi Changxing, who is usually hot-tempered and arrogant, was unusually docile this time.
"No, it was because I resisted arrest that I got this injury."
The reporters were in an uproar!
Since the person involved gave such a calm answer, the crowd naturally didn't want to delve any further, especially since they were in front of the police station.
If you're not careful, you might be the next one to be locked up and come out looking like this!
The reporter, having obtained a positive image of Yi Changxing who sincerely repented, suddenly didn't know how to explain himself back home.
There's no conflict or explosive news at all, so what's the point of watching this news?
As for how Yi Changxing got his injury, only he and his associates know.
Later, in the office in Tongjia Village that belonged exclusively to the head of the family.
Ke Kai, holding his instant noodles, gossiped with Yan Shao about the video news he had just seen.
"Sir, your trick really worked! Look at Yi Changxing, he looks like such a good citizen! It's so satisfying!"
Yan Shao covered his nose, glared at Ke Kai with disdain, and said, "Get lost!"
Ke Kai deliberately moved the instant noodle bowl closer to him, saying, "Sir, research shows that instant noodles actually contain enough calories and nutrients for normal bodily functions. They're cheap and quick, but the smell... is a bit strong!"
Ke Kai knew, of course, that his master hated the taste of instant noodles, but what could he do when he had been eating alone for two days in a row? Even though the landlady had prepared a meal for two, his master refused to let him taste a single bite.
You think instant noodles smell awful? Well, you deserve to be suffocated by the stench!
With the principle of "If you don't let me eat well, I won't let you have it easy either," Ke Kai continued to pass the instant noodles forward.
Is Young Master Yan the kind of person who can tolerate being repeatedly provoked?
She got up, grabbed Ke Kai by the collar, and threw him out the door.
Just as Ke Kai was about to complain, Yan Shao glared at him and said, "If you can handle that tough nut like Zhu Junwei, I'll treat you to a Manchu Han Imperial Feast and give you three days' use of a helicopter."
After Yan Shao finished speaking, he slammed the door shut without waiting for Ke Kai's protest.
Sitting down again, Yan Shao stared at the brief report about Yi Changxing on his computer, his eyes growing increasingly deep.
For him, Yi Changxing was never a big problem, it was just that Zhu Junwei...
That's a tough nut to crack!
Yan Shao turned off his computer, went to the living room, and took out the lunch that Zhu Qianying had prepared for him that morning to eat.
Today, Bai Shao took Xiao Luzi and Bai Xiangdong, who had been discharged from the hospital for a day, out to play. After the mother and daughter left, Zhu Qianying escorted him to the entrance and handed him the bag containing lunch, saying something to him.
"Young Master Yan, could you help me find out what's going on with the Zong family?"
It seems that Zhu Qianying is really worried about Bai Shao and her daughter.
However, that makes sense. If something were to happen to Qin Xiu or Ke Kai, as a friend, I would definitely be worried and would do everything I could to help.
Because we are all friends who have gone through thick and thin together.
It's estimated that when Zhu Qianying was fifteen or sixteen years old, she received a lot of help from Bai Xiangdong and Bai Shao.
Of course, these are just Yan Shao's own guesses.
Zhu Qianying doesn't like to talk about the past, probably because she doesn't want her emotions to be trapped in the past and unable to move on.
In fact, even if Zhu Qianying didn't speak, Yan Shao had already asked Ke Kai to inquire about it.
However, there hasn't been any feedback from them yet.
It seems that the appearance of Zong Zhe's assistant Jiang Qi was not accidental.
Yan Shao had just finished eating when Ke Kai burst in.
"Sir, there's new information!"
Yan Shao assumed that the investigation into the Zong family's affairs had yielded results, or that Zhu Junwei had finally relented, or that the situation with Chen Jing's family had been fully investigated.
Unexpectedly, the new situation that Ke Kai mentioned was not just one of the random occurrences he had assumed, but rather something he had somewhat overlooked.
"Sir, the board of directors of Mingxuan Group has just elected Zhu Haoming as acting president and acting chairman, to temporarily take over all affairs of Mingxuan Group in place of the missing Zhu Junwei!"
"Zhu Haoming?"
Ke Kai nodded. "Yes, the fourth son of Zhu Zhizhou."
Young Master Yan raised an eyebrow. "Didn't he marry into the Song family and become Song Zhicheng's son-in-law? How come he's gone back to Mingxuan?"
Ke Kai laughed, "Zhu Zhizhou only has four sons. The eldest son is in jail, the second son is good-for-nothing and is messing around abroad, and the third son is missing. If we don't find this son to bring back, are we going to find Shadow to bring back? Besides, even if Zhu Zhizhou came to ask Shadow for help, Shadow wouldn't care!"
