Chapter 116 Yanzhi, you've been missing me, haven't you?
I don't know how this day will go, but I hope it will pass safely.
As Shi Nian pondered this, she looked down at her phone; there were no messages from anyone else.
Without thinking too much about it, Shi Nian went to sleep.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Han Wei was preparing to rest.
Just then, a phone call came in.
Han Wei glanced at the screen and answered the call.
"What is it?" This was the number of the ringleaders who had threatened her. "Didn't we already give you money? Why are you calling again?"
"Han Wei, don't try to bluff us. We need ten million. You only gave us two million before," the other party said.
"It was your own agreement that you could delay," Han Wei replied coldly.
The men, who were enjoying a sumptuous meal, exchanged glances, and then one of them chuckled and said, "But we've learned a secret today, and we want to get 5 million before 3 p.m. today."
Han Wei was furious and blurted out two words: "No money!"
"If you don't have money, you can ask Lu Yanzhi for it." The man said with a smile, "We just found out that today is the last day of the cooling-off period for Shi Nian and Lu Yanzhi's divorce."
"So we need 5 million, otherwise those things will just be sent directly to Shi Nian and Lu Yanzhi."
"Han Wei, you also hope that today will go smoothly, right? If Shi Nian gets angry and goes back on her word, this divorce won't be possible anytime soon!"
The other person laughed as they spoke, looking very smug.
Han Wei slammed her fist on the table.
"But I really don't have any money right now." This is true. She has accumulated a lot of assets over the years, but she can't convert them into liquid funds in a short period of time.
"It's been so long since the fourth live stream ended, it seems you haven't taken our matter to heart at all," the other party said. "Where you get the money is your business, you can ask Lu Yanzhi for it."
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone immediately.
Han Wei was so angry that she smashed her phone.
These people should have been eliminated long ago!
The caregiver picked up Han Wei's phone and handed it to her.
"Miss Han Wei, what should we do now?" the caregiver asked.
Han Wei snatched the phone from the caregiver's hand, glared at her, and then went into a room.
After confirming that no one was listening, Han Wei switched to another phone and called someone else.
...
Meanwhile, late at night, at the police station.
Policewoman Li Xinyi twisted her stiff neck and let out a long sigh of relief.
My colleague across from me was getting water and asked if I wanted to come along.
"Okay," Li Xinyi said, taking her water glass and walking over there together.
The two chatted casually as they walked.
"Is your case almost done?" a colleague asked.
Li Xinyi nodded and said, "Collecting information and so on takes a lot of time. Shi Nian's identity and environment are special. Several of us went to visit Shi Nian's mother, went to the prison to inquire about her stepfather, visited a series of people related to the Shi family, talked with Shi Nian's friends Lin Zhihuan and Lin Yuchen, went to various departments of Lu's Group to obtain information, inquired about Han Wei... and so on. We also went to the scene many times to see if there were any new clues near where the disguised suspect disappeared, and checked the surveillance footage many times to see if there were any loopholes."
Li Xinyi's head was spinning as she spoke.
"There are plenty," the colleague nodded in agreement.
Li Xinyi took a sip of water: "These are just some of the things I just remembered. There are a lot of other things, mainly trivial matters, and sometimes I have to go on business trips."
"But it's almost done. If it's appropriate, we can summon Lu Yanzhi tomorrow or the day after."
The colleague nodded, and the two of them filled their water bottles and walked back together.
"Who is the most likely candidate now?" a colleague asked casually.
Li Xinyi gave him a serious look.
My colleague just laughed it off and didn't ask any further.
Li Xinyi sat down again, packed her things, and went back.
There are many cases every day, and manpower is limited. She has been working overtime for many days now.
...
Time passed slowly, and the night soon came to an end.
The city is slowly awakening.
Shi Nian still picked up Si Si from school as usual.
Then I went to Fu's Entertainment to prepare for the final match.
However, unlike usual, she kept her phone in her hand the whole time.
If they can get through today safely, the two of them can go and get their marriage certificate.
Fortunately, a morning passed and there were no messages from Lu Yanzhi on Shi Nian's phone.
[Let it be quiet like this. After midnight, it will all be over.] Shi Nian thought to herself.
On the other side, Lu Yanzhi, who had been busy all morning, had just stopped and was preparing to have lunch.
But as soon as he sat down at the table, he saw that what was served was a tomato and beef brisket rice.
Lu Yanzhi raised one eyebrow and looked at Secretary Zhou in front of him.
Secretary Zhou scratched his head sheepishly and said, "President Lu, I couldn't find you a good restaurant the night before last. Today I remembered that my mom's tomato beef brisket rice is amazing, so I brought it to you on my own."
Lu Yanzhi didn't say much, only grunted in response.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Lu Yanzhi slightly raised his head and saw Han Wei standing at the door.
Han Wei walked in and was slightly surprised to see Lu Yanzhi's lunch on the dining table.
"What's wrong, Miss Han Wei?" Secretary Zhou asked.
Han Wei smiled and looked at Secretary Zhou, saying, "I brought the duplicate for Brother Yanzhi, so I brought this too."
As she spoke, Han Wei took out the tomato and beef brisket rice from the food box and said, "Didn't you say yesterday that Brother Yanzhi ate at every restaurant in City A but couldn't find a dish he liked? So I made one myself. Brother Yanzhi, try it and see if you like it?"
Secretary Zhou didn't say anything, but just glanced at Lu Yanzhi.
Lu Yanzhi didn't look at him, but calmly took the box from Han Wei's hand, placed it on the table, and then took a bite of the beef brisket.
"How is it, Brother Yanzhi? Is it delicious?" Han Wei smiled at him, waiting for his answer.
Lu Yanzhi chewed slowly.
In terms of cooking skills, it's decent but not exceptional.
However, it's not as delicious as Shi Nian's.
However, when Han Wei asked him, he still replied, "Yes."
Han Wei was very happy and told him to eat more.
Lu Yanzhi felt a little irritated, so he sent Han Wei outside to get something.
In the meantime, the third lunch was delivered.
It was delivered from the old house.
Lu Yanzhi immediately opened the box; it was the same as before: tomato and beef brisket rice.
There was just an extra letter on it.
Lu Yanzhi opened the envelope and saw his grandfather's strong and vigorous handwriting—
[Tomato and beef brisket rice, Yanzhi, you miss her, don't you? Take her home. Can't you talk things out properly? We're all family.]
Lu Yanzhi looked at the letter in his hand, his heart aching slightly.
But Grandpa, the cooling-off period for my divorce with her ends today.
