The Shen family acted very quickly. Not only did they immediately find a marriage for Shen Jingyu, they also hurried over to get the gold early the next morning.
The Shen family knew very well that in matters like this, any delay would lead to changes and a quick resolution was necessary.
Looking at Shen Jingan who was waiting in the hall early, Su Jinyu, who had just finished breakfast, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a teasing smile.
"Those who know think the Shen family is very efficient, while those who don't think the Shen family is bankrupt and is relying on this little bit of gold to live."
Her voice was clear and loud, with a hint of sarcasm, and it echoed in the hall.
Shen Jingan glanced at her indifferently, his eyes were as cold as a bottomless cold pond, which made people shudder.
"Are you ready?"
Su Jinyu raised his eyebrows, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
She was somewhat surprised at Shen Jing'an's calmness today. He was completely different from the irritable man in the past.
Then she clapped her hands and the servants brought out the boxes full of gold.
The box was dragged on the ground, making dull "bang bang" sounds, and each sound seemed to be knocking on Su Jinyu's heart, making her nervous.
"You count, not the number we agreed on."
Shen Jing'an stood in the middle of the hall, tilted his head slightly, and glanced at Lin Yao, the personal bodyguard.
Lin Yao immediately understood what he meant, strode forward, and firmly grasped the copper lock on the box with both hands.
The lock popped open with a "click". The sound was crisp and particularly abrupt in the quiet hall.
Su Jinyu sat in a wheelchair, leaning forward slightly, her eyes fixed on the open box without blinking.
In an instant, a golden glow poured out, causing her eyes to sting slightly.
She squinted her eyes subconsciously, her gaze wandering over the golden bricks. Her heart beat uncontrollably faster, and the "thumping" sound became clearer in her ears.
Although she trusted Zhou Youchen's arrangement deep in her heart, she still couldn't help but worry at this moment.
Lin Yao's hands searched among the gold, his movements were skillful and steady, and every strike seemed to hit Su Jinyu's heart.
She clutched the armrests of the wheelchair tightly, her knuckles turning white from the effort, her heart sweating, and the sticky feeling made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Finally, Lin Yao finished the inspection, stood up, and nodded heavily to Shen Jingan.
Su Jinyu let out a long sigh, and her tense shoulders instantly relaxed, and the breath that had been held in her chest was also exhaled smoothly.
She raised her head, looked at Shen Jingan, and stretched out her hand: "Hand over the IOU..."
Shen Jing'an looked coldly, took out the IOU from his pocket and handed it to Su Jinyu.
Su Jinyu snatched it away, quickly scanned her handwriting on the note, and after confirming that it was correct, she held it up to her eyes without hesitation and tore it apart with both hands.
With a "hiss", the sound of paper tearing was crisp and loud, as if cutting off the last ties between her and Shen Jing'an.
"Now, we are even."
There was a hint of joy in her voice, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a relieved smile.
Shen Jing'an said nothing more. He turned around and waved to the men who were moving the items. His voice was low but powerful: "Move it out."
The servants immediately gathered around, picked up the boxes and walked out.
The boxes were heavy, and their steps were a little unsteady, causing the wooden floor to creak under their feet.
Su Jinyu watched the boxes of gold gradually disappear from her sight, feeling as uncomfortable as if she were being scratched by a cat.
She bit her lower lip, looked up at Shen Jingan, and blurted out: "Shen Jingan, you can get this much gold by getting married once. With your looks, if you get married a few more times, you will be rich."
The tone was full of sarcasm, like a sharp dagger.
Shen Jing'an turned his head suddenly, his eyes wide open, staring at Su Jinyu, his eyes seemed to be spewing fire.
He bit his lip tightly, his teeth chattered, and the veins on his neck bulged out like little winding snakes.
However, this time he held back and did not fly into a rage like before.
Seeing this, Su Jinyu took advantage of the situation and continued with a smile on her face: "However, there are not many women as rich as me in Qianjiang... I remember that the widowed Mrs. Yu was extremely wealthy, and I heard that her ancestors were from the royal family."
She deliberately dragged out her tone, her words full of jokes.
Mrs. Yu was about the same age as Mrs. Shen. She preferred young men in their prime. Her romantic affairs were well known in the circle and were no secret.
Shen Jingan was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He bit his lips tightly and squeezed out words from between his lips: "Don't go too far."
The voice contained great rage, like a volcano about to erupt.
Su Jinyu seemed not to hear it, and slowly turned her wheelchair and came in front of Shen Jingan.
She tilted her head back slightly and looked closely at the bloodshot eyes of Shen Jingan. The bloodshot were blindingly red, like burning flames.
Su Jinyu still had a bright smile on her face, but there was a hint of coldness in that smile: "You still feel wronged... You cheated on me, and I got a lot of money from you in the divorce. I'm the one who should cry... In the end, you still benefit from today's laws. The party who gets the money gets a little bit of the meat in the divorce."
As she spoke, she shook her head slightly, her tone full of disdain.
Finally, he added lightly, "But anyone who can be dealt with by spending money is easy to deal with."
Shen Jing'an couldn't bear to listen any longer. His face turned pale and red, and his chest heaved violently. He glared at Su Jinyu fiercely, turned around and strode out.
When he reached the gate, Shen Jingan stopped and his eyes fell on Zhou Youchen.
Zhou Youchen stood tall and straight with a calm expression, quietly standing there like a steady green pine.
Their eyes met, and sparks seemed to explode in the air, as if invisible swords were colliding.
Shen Jingan suddenly recalled his father's words, which were like a spell that bound him.
He bit his tongue, his eyes full of reluctance, and glared at Zhou Youchen fiercely before turning around, opening the car door, getting in, and slamming the door shut.
Su Jinyu quietly came to Zhou Youchen's side, watching the car going away and raising a cloud of dust, she sighed softly, with a hint of ridicule in her voice: "Why are you two still so bitter and hostile to each other... I said so many things, but he didn't break down. I didn't expect that he would want to kill you after just one look at you..."
As she spoke, she tilted her head and looked at Zhou Youchen, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes.
Zhou Youchen turned his head slightly, glanced at Su Jinyu who looked gloating, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "Your credit."
The voice was low and helpless.
"You're welcome..."
Su Jinyu posed nonchalantly.
He turned around, turned the wheelchair, and took Zhou Youchen towards the study.
The two of them walked into the study, Zhou Youchen closed the door, walked to the desk, leaned on the table with his hands, and looked serious.
"The three people arrested by the police station in connection with the arms case are a Japanese named Takada, the black market pawnshop owner Wang Hai, and the owner of the yard Li Qiang. Takada relied on his Japanese identity, so we didn't dare to torture him. He was very tight-lipped and couldn't be pried open, so we could only detain him temporarily."
As he spoke, he frowned.
"Wang Hai and Li Qiang...could not withstand the torture yesterday and died in prison."
