Chapter 166 Lu Li Arrested



As usual, Jiang was extremely busy at Fu's house.

Fu Yanci took Momo on a leisurely stroll, seemingly a free spirit, but inadvertently inspected every floor of the Fu Group building.

When I got back to the office, Jiang Zao hadn't returned yet.

Today is Monday, and there are many routine meetings, with each department reporting on their work.

Fu Yanci sat on the sofa, pondered for a long time, and then sent an email to a number.

[Preparing a new company in southern Yunnan, primarily focused on jade development.]

The other party replied quickly: 【OK.】

He then emailed another person.

[Renewing a shop in Beijing, specializing in raw stone and jade carving.]

【yes.】

Fu Yanci walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside.

Knock knock!

"Come in." Fu Yanci's voice was cold and deep, without a trace of childishness.

Qin He entered through the door.

"Third Master." Qin He stood up respectfully.

Fu Yanci turned around, observed for a while, and asked, "When did you realize I had recovered?"

Qin He said, "It's been a while, but since you didn't want to reveal it, Third Master, I didn't show it."

Fu Yanci was very satisfied, "As expected of someone who has been by my side for so long."

This is one of the reasons why he trusts Qin He.

They are capable and have good judgment.

"I'd like to set up a branch company, focusing on jewelry development and design. You can make the arrangements." After thinking it over, he decided it was more prudent to leave this matter to Qin He.

Qin He was somewhat surprised.

After all, the Fu family had never been involved in the jewelry business.

But he didn't ask any questions and agreed without hesitation.

Fu Yanci continued, "You don't need to worry about the sourcing. I will mine jade in southern Yunnan, and I've also taken over a new store in the capital. So the main focus is on design and marketing. What I want is to build a brand as quickly as possible, understand?"

Qin He nodded: "Understood."

In the afternoon, Fu Yanci went out with Qin He to select a site.

Jiang Zao went to the hospital.

“Bao’er, I want to start a jewelry company and create a jewelry brand named after you,” Jiang Zao said to Zheng Xiao.

Zheng Xiao has actually recovered almost completely and can be discharged from the hospital.

She didn't mention it, Lu Li didn't mention it either, and the hospital didn't kick her out, so she continued to stay in the ward.

Anyway, even if these VIP wards are vacant, no one will stay in them anymore. Now that someone is staying in one of them, the hospital gets extra income.

Zheng Xiao cupped Jiang Zao's face in her hands, looking at her from left to right.

"Honey, how do you think your brain works? How do you come up with so many novel ideas? The resort isn't even finished yet, and you're already making other plans. You also have to take care of the Fu family business. Aren't you tired?"

Jiang Zao couldn't help but laugh, "How can I be tired from working hard for my dreams and goals? For me, if I do nothing like a salted fish, that would be the real loss of meaning in life."

She held Zheng Xiao's hand, "Xiao Xiao, I hope you can witness these things with me."

Zheng Xiao knew that Jiang Zao was pulling her forward, making her feel more attached to this world, and she understood.

“Then I want to be the spokesperson,” Zheng Xiao said.

Jiang Zao: "That's a must. A brand named after you, of course you have to be its spokesperson."

Sitting in the hospital room, Jiang Zao kept Zheng Xiao company while searching for a suitable new company address on her computer.

“I think this place is nice, Bao, what do you think?” Jiang Zao pointed to an office building in the north of the city that was being auctioned off.

It has five floors in total, is a standalone building, and has a good location, so Zheng Xiao is quite satisfied.

Just as she was about to say something, the ward door was pushed open, and several police officers entered.

"Ms. Zheng? May I ask where your assistant, Lu Li, is now?" The one in the lead was Captain Chen from the anti-drug team.

Zheng Xiao slowly sat up. "He's not here. What do you want with him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Li came in carrying the fruit he had just bought.

He was stunned when he saw the room full of police officers.

The next second, he was handcuffed.

Zheng Xiao got out of bed and stopped them with a frown.

"What did he do that you handcuffed him without saying a word?" Zheng Xiao asked.

One of the police officers said, "He is suspected of drug trafficking. If Ms. Zheng knew about it but did not report it, she is also guilty."

Lu Li was still in a daze. "You guys must have made a mistake. I didn't do it."

However, this kind of 'excuses' was not convincing to the police, and Lu Li was taken away just like that.

Zheng Xiao quickly took Jiang Zao out of the hospital, and the first thing they did was to find a lawyer.

Zheng Xiao had only one request for the lawyer: "No matter how much it costs, you must save my life."

By the time they arrived at the anti-drug squad, Lu Li had already been interrogated.

After questioning him, the lawyer learned that Lu Li's vehicle, which he had been using to earn extra money by helping someone race cars a few days ago, was suspected of drug trafficking, which is why he was implicated.

After being detained overnight and confirmed that Lu Li had no connection with drug trafficking, Zheng Xiao bailed him out.

"I've already told you to stop trying to earn extra money. Did I give you permission to work part-time? Or do you want to quit your job here?"

Zheng Xiao's mouth hasn't stopped since she left the police station.

"You can only resign if I agree to it."

“I’ll protect you this time, but what about next time? You plan to let Huanhuan become an orphan right after she recovers? Let me tell you, I will not take care of her for you. Don’t even think about it.”

Lu Li neither fought back nor talked back, after all, he was still a little scared after what happened.

He wasn't afraid of going to jail; he was only afraid that if he went in, no one would take care of his sister.

"Thank you." After getting into the car, he thanked Zheng Xiao sincerely.

Snap!

Zheng Xiao slapped him on the back of the head.

It was quite loud.

"Thank me my ass! If you dare to go out and earn extra money again, I'll deduct 10,000 yuan from your salary the first time I find out, and the whole month's salary if I find out twice. I mean it!"

"Those scumbags like Lin Shaofei will touch anything when they're drunk. They have powerful backers, but what do you have? Stay away from them, or you'll be corrupted. See how you explain this to Huanhuan when you get back to the hospital."

Lu Li didn't dare to utter a single word in response and remained silent throughout.

Jiang Zao, who was driving, couldn't help but laugh.

Zheng Xiao asked her what she was laughing at.

Jiang Zao: "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen you so energetic in a long time. You even have a strong voice when you're cursing. It seems like you've recovered well."

Zheng Xiao was also stunned.

yes.

Why is she so anxious and angry about Lu Li's accident?

"He's my assistant, after all. If something happens to him, I'll get a lot of flak," Zheng Xiao muttered to herself, without looking at Lu Li again.

Lu Li's gaze remained fixed on Zheng Xiao's reflection in the car window, lingering there for a long time.

After taking Lu Li back to the hospital, Jiang Zao and Zheng Xiao headed straight for the largest auction house in Lincheng.

The office building in the north of the city is being auctioned off today.

There weren't many people present, but they were all elite business leaders from Lincheng.

Most of them were familiar faces, but Zheng Xiao was an exception.

Singer Zheng Xiao made her first public appearance since her suicide attempt, at an auction. The news spread quickly and attracted a large number of media outlets.
