When they arrived at the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy, Ji Mingjing was already there, chatting with Old Master Qi.
Ji Mingjing wanted to learn some old stories about the Ji family from Old Master Qi.
Old Master Qi wanted to know from him what kind of person Gu Yunzhen was.
The old man and the young man chatted fairly well.
Their conversation ended abruptly when Shangguan Wu entered.
Shangguan Wu: Am I a conversation killer?
"How about I leave and you guys continue?" She raised an eyebrow.
Grandpa Qi picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.
Ji Mingjing paused for a moment after getting up, then sat back down in the chair with a more relaxed expression.
Shangguan Wu chuckled twice and went straight upstairs.
I don't want her to listen; she doesn't want to hear it anyway!
Ji Ming, seeing Shangguan Wu being so easy to talk to for the first time, exclaimed, "She's not even angry?"
Grandpa Qi narrowed his eyes: "What do you care if she's angry or not?"
That tone is off.
Adding an 'ah' and an exclamation mark indicates that the other person doesn't care.
But this is a question!
Ji Mingjing's eyes twitched, and he immediately distanced himself from the matter, explaining, "Senior, I have a close relationship with Gu Si. Before he left, he asked me to take care of her. You know that Shangguan Wu is pregnant and her emotions are unpredictable, so it's best if we don't upset her."
Grandpa Qi gave him a look that said, "What did I say? Why are you explaining?" and said in a low voice, "Oh, Old Huang said that the fourteen people were well chosen."
Ji Mingjing: "..."
The conversation just couldn't continue.
Although those fourteen people were not the elites of his Ji family, they were still reserve elites. Shangguan Wu obtained fourteen of them without spending a single penny.
Unfortunately, it's all because the elders of the Ji family were too stupid.
When Ji Mingjing returned from the clan meeting, he brought with him all the information about Old Master Qi, which the Ji family had secretly investigated. There had been new information every year for the past thirty years, but the more they learned, the more afraid the clan elders became.
This old man's story can be described in four words: passionate and inspiring.
He watched it for three days and three nights.
Such a powerful and ruthless figure deserves our respect.
Because he did not follow the rules, but used all sorts of methods, even to the point of being unconventional, anyone who wanted to kill him was subdued by him, such as the elders of the Ji family.
There are also local bullies in various places.
Everyone whose name could be called had been disciplined by the old man and had become well-behaved.
Even if the situation only calms down temporarily, it still has a certain impact on the local economy and public security.
The more Ji Mingjing looked, the more surprised and suspicious he became. So he found a map and circled all the places the old man had cleaned up. He felt that the young old man was like a gun, pointing and shooting wherever he wanted.
Otherwise, the fact that the military and political circles frequently send their children to Hakuin Village is simply too audacious.
As for the existence of Hakuin Village, he believed that the old man had offended too many people when he was young, and assassinations were impossible to guard against, so he simply disappeared from the public eye. Now that he has come out, it is probably because most of the elderly people of his generation who were not as well taken care of as him have passed away.
Given Grandpa Qi's current condition, even if he doesn't live to be a hundred, he'll live to be ninety-nine.
After all, there is an old doctor in Hakuin Village.
Shangguan Wu received the true teachings of the old doctor and also called the old man "Grandpa". How could he not care about him?
Therefore, it's no wonder the Ji family suffered defeat after encountering this old man.
Ji Mingjing came here today not to do anything to the old man, but simply to confirm something.
But the old man was so meticulous that there was obviously no need to confirm it.
However, just because he doesn't do it doesn't mean others won't.
Thinking of this, Ji Mingjing asked seriously, "Does the old man know someone named Wang Fugui?"
"Wang Fugui?"
Grandpa Qi thought for a moment, then said casually, "I don't know him. But a few days ago, someone surnamed Wang said I was his second parent, so it might be him."
Ji Mingjing: "..."
"Are you sure they are your second parents, not your mortal enemies?" he asked directly.
Old Master Qi raised an eyebrow: "Is there something wrong with him?"
Ji Mingjing nodded: "The day I sent someone to the Gu family, I caught a man who was scouting the area near the Gu family. Wang Fugui had asked him to come."
That man surnamed Wu was spineless; he confessed everything after only a few blows.
Ji Mingjing continued, "The reason was that Wang Fugui planned to create trouble for Shangguan Wu, and then he would step in to solve the trouble, so that Shangguan Wu would be indebted to him, thereby climbing up to the Gu family and opening up the market in the capital city."
Old Master Qi scoffed dismissively, "Let Wu girl feel indebted? Where is he?"
"I handed it over to the police."
"..."
Old Master Qi glanced at him, chuckled, and stood up.
Although this young man was more disciplined and capable of doing proper work than the old man from the Ji family, the old man was very unhappy with the result. He felt that he had been deceived and wanted to go and see that Wang Fugui in person.
He had just set off for the police station when Shangguan Wu came downstairs.
She came down after receiving a message from Ji Mingjing.
But the old man has already passed away.
Worried that something might happen, Shangguan Wu instructed Meng Wen after getting into the car: "Go to the police station."
About twenty minutes later, at the entrance of the police station lobby.
Wu Xiaoxiao helped her mother, whose legs were weak, out the door, and saw Shangguan Wu getting out of the car and walking over.
She remembered her.
The owner of a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy.
The fourth young mistress, whom those rich young ladies envied.
Shangguan Wu walked up the steps and saw the faces of the two women at the door. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Aunt Wu."
Wu Xiumei was in a daze, and only came back to her senses when she heard someone calling her.
"Fourth Young Mistress!"
Wu Xiumei looked at her excitedly, her tone full of concern: "Why did you come here?"
Shangguan Wu pointed inside: "My grandfather went in, I came to find him."
"Huh?" Wu Xiumei thought her grandfather had also been arrested: "Why would they arrest an old man? Is there a mistake?"
Shangguan Wu was taken aback.
Wu Xiaoxiao suddenly frowned: "Mom, not everyone who comes to the police station has been arrested like him."
"Oh, that's good. It's good that nothing's wrong," Wu Xiumei murmured to herself.
Seeing that her face was too pale, Shangguan Wu advised, "Aunt Wu, no matter what happens, you must take care of yourself."
Wu Xiumei shook her head and sighed: "I'm fine. It's Xiaoxiao's father who was arrested. He called us to come and get the ransom."
Their surname is Wu, and they've been arrested. Could they be the wives and daughters of the men Ji Mingjing sent over?
Shangguan Wu's gaze narrowed slightly.
Wu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips.
"Mom, the Fourth Young Mistress has something to attend to, let's not disturb her." She didn't want her mother to talk about that scumbag in front of outsiders.
Wu Xiumei suddenly realized what was happening and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Fourth Young Madam, you should go ahead and do your work. I should go back now."
Shangguan Wu nodded.
She could tell that Aunt Wu's daughter had a strong sense of self-respect and didn't want Aunt Wu to talk about her father outside.
She watched them leave the police station before entering the lobby.
In an interrogation room.
Old Master Qi met Wang Fugui, the newly rich CEO of the capital city.
When Wang Fugui saw Old Qi, his eyes widened like copper bells, and before he could even speak, he was trembling all over.
