The police were puzzled when someone called a few minutes earlier, saying that the owner of a car with the license plate ending in xxx was suspected of transporting unidentified objects.
Just as they were arranging for someone to make the arrest, the car owner immediately called, saying that he was the owner of car xxx and that someone had paid him to help transport suspicious items.
The person was already on their way to the police station. The police officers looked at each other, somewhat confused about what was going on.
Upon arrival, Shen Shixun handed over the items, explaining the situation clearly and without omitting a single word, even describing the other party's physical characteristics.
The police asked him, "How did you come into contact with this person?"
Shen Shixun directly provided the orders he had received, which were indeed from legitimate platforms and followed proper procedures.
"Then how did you know there was something wrong with these things?"
“I’ve also delivered things for people and received fees, but they were all calculated according to the fees given by the platform. Even if I gave them money privately, it wouldn’t be much.”
"The amount he offered was too large."
It was this large sum of money that made Shen Shixun realize something was wrong.
If someone is willing to pay such a high shipping fee for something that isn't far away, there's definitely something wrong with it...
After some discussion, the police officers thanked Shen Shixun for providing the clue.
Shen Shixun got up and left, saying, "If there are any problems, you can contact me again. I will definitely cooperate if necessary."
Returning by the same route, and having turned over all the stolen money, Shen Shixun's night's escape was in vain. He returned to his residence, fell asleep immediately, and slept soundly until dawn.
The next day, Zhang Yandong approached him and asked about what happened the previous night. Shen Shixun was quite surprised, "How did you know?"
"Can't I even know a few people?"
Shen Shixun's expression was quite complicated. "You're spying on me?"
"What are you talking about? Why would I be spying on you? I have people inside."
Shen Shixun belatedly realized, "Friends?"
"You don't need to worry about so much. You're such a concerned citizen, handing over the items directly. You think it's a coincidence, but have you ever considered that someone might have set you up?"
The police wouldn't tell Shen Shixun much, but Zhang Yandong heard about it from others.
Before Shen Shixun proactively called the police, someone had already anonymously reported him. Moreover, after Shen Shixun left, the information of the person who booked the ride through the ride-hailing platform could not be found.
The person used fake identity information to fool the platform.
There are always some who slip through the net, able to move freely even in a densely packed net.
If this matter hadn't been related to Shen Shixun, Zhang Yandong wouldn't have paid much attention to it.
"A trap?"
Shen Shixun hasn't thought about it that way yet. "I just took an order normally."
“Sehun, you’re very smart. Some people are very cunning. He might be deliberately creating an accident, gambling that you will safely deliver those things to their destination.”
If he gets there safely, then he'll be committing a crime and will be arrested immediately; no one can save him.
The man guessed the beginning but not the end. Shen Shixun did accept the money and promised to deliver it, but it was just a delaying tactic. He then delivered the items to the police station intact.
"You managed to get away with this. Be careful next time. If you encounter something like this and don't know how to handle it, you can come to me."
Saigon is isolated from the world and lacks many resources. No matter how careful Shen Shixun is, he lacks the cunning and shrewdness to fight against these powerful families.
People who appear glamorous and kind on the surface may actually do some truly despicable things behind the scenes.
Shen Shixun responded, "Who orchestrated this coincidence?"
Zhang Yandong didn't speak, but the man already knew what was going on: "That guy surnamed Song."
He lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth. "The ribs are set?"
Whether it was Song Ze or not, nobody knows for sure, but he is the most likely person to do so.
Shen Shixun snatched Xiang Nanzhi, this cash cow, from his hands and even broke two of his ribs. Any man would try to retaliate.
The location where Xiang Jingyi held the old man's birthday banquet was on the island that Xiang Nanzhi mentioned. To be precise, the Xiang family actually bought a lake in the ancient city. The lake was located in a quiet place and was yet to be developed.
Xiang Zhengyi plans to build a resort on that island in the middle of the lake, but since he has never done it before, it is still in the planning stage. He hopes to make it a leisure and entertainment destination.
The resort hasn't even started construction yet, but this piece of land has already come in handy.
There is a large expanse of land in the middle of the lake, and the land leads directly to the outside world via a road.
Xiang Jingyi arranged everything very well. Pine and cypress trees, symbolizing longevity, were placed on both sides of the path leading to the center of the lake, and one after another, small golden turtles were hung on the pine and cypress trees.
Su Lan was very proactive and, on behalf of the TV station, privately approached Xiang Zhengyi and secured an interview opportunity.
Xiang Zhengyi is a low-key person who doesn't like to be ostentatious, but Su Lan is Xiang Jingyi's girlfriend, so how could he, as a future father-in-law, refuse her?
Looking around, only their television station was allowed to enter the entire birthday banquet.
"President Su, is this copywriting acceptable?"
"No, change it."
Su Lan's voice was calm, but it carried an undisguised sternness.
Those who came were relatives of the Xiang family, or members of prominent families with some old ties to the Xiang family, or people who had large-scale business collaborations with the Xiang family.
It was a lively event, not particularly grand, but rather understated yet luxurious.
The security guards at the entrance stood there holding umbrellas. The wind was strong by the lake, but the umbrellas in their hands didn't budge an inch. They were all wearing sunglasses.
Several hired models stood at the entrance to collect the invitations.
Only those who have received an invitation from the Xiang family are qualified to enter.
Xiang Ciyuan glanced at the time, "Why isn't Zhizhi here yet?"
"We're almost there, just wait a little longer..."
"They said they'd be here in half an hour, how long have we been waiting... sigh..."
"It's a bit more troublesome for young ladies."
Su Lan stepped forward to say something to Xiang Jingyi, but Xiang Jingyi caught sight of her out of the corner of her eye and instinctively moved aside.
Xiang Ciyuan witnessed this scene and said, "That's enough. Don't embarrass your sister-in-law."
He spoke very softly, with a hint of, "Know when to stop."
But Xiang Jingyi was very stubborn. He wouldn't allow anyone to go against his wishes, not even Su Lan.
"Jingyi, are you still angry with me?"
Xiang Jing didn't even glance at her.
With so many people around, Su Lan felt somewhat embarrassed by her.
"Sister-in-law, don't pay him any attention. Sometimes he's like that..." Xiang Ciyuan was trying to explain when a car stopped by the roadside, and the bodyguard quickly went over to help open the car door.
"Zhizhi is here, Zhizhi!"
Xiang Jingyi and Xiang Ciyuan both went that way, and Su Lan's expression became even more unpleasant. She took a deep breath and saw Xiang Nanzhi being helped out of the car by Shen Shixun. Xiang Nanzhi was wearing a bright blue dress, and she looked beautiful and radiant standing by the lake.
After getting married, she became much more feminine, and due to her pregnancy, she was not as quick as before, moving slowly and gracefully, which added to her charm.
