Jiang Zao immediately checked Momo's program remotely and found the image it had scanned just a few minutes earlier.
The outlines of the things inside those boxes look so much like...
As if she had thought of something, Jiang Zao immediately became nervous.
"Qin He, notify the crew on the ship to delay the departure time. I will be there shortly."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zao handed over the matter to his secretary and the factory manager for supervision, and then quickly sped off to the port.
Qin He deliberately bypassed Deng Ruibo and boarded the boat when Deng Ruibo wasn't paying attention.
The crew members on the ship all knew Qin He.
This is Master Fu's special assistant, his trusted confidant.
"Assistant Qin, does Third Master have any instructions?" the captain asked.
Qin He: "Delay the departure of the ship. We'll discuss everything once the Third Madam arrives."
When the scheduled departure time arrived, the ship remained stationary without making a sound.
Deng Ruibo, who was not far away, couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
He wanted to board the ship, but there were rules that prohibited non-staff members or those without permits from boarding.
In his haste, he stopped a staff member at random.
Question: "It's past the appointed time, why hasn't the ship left yet?"
The staff didn't know either: "This is normal. Maybe the weather at sea is bad. It will leave when it's ready to go."
But Deng Ruibo's intuition told him otherwise; something must have gone wrong.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
Only then did he remember Fu Yanci, whom he had forgotten for a long time.
Smiling, she walked over and said, "Yanci, are you hungry? Let's go eat."
Fu Yanci was already starving, and her face was even pale from stomach pain. "Okay, Aci's tummy is hungry."
Deng Ruibo's bad premonition grew stronger, and eager to leave, he grabbed Fu Yanci and tried to leave.
"Where is my cousin rushing off to?" Jiang arrived just in time.
With long legs and a brisk pace, she walked with a gust of wind. Her long hair was casually tied up with a simple hairpin, and the loose strands swayed in the wind. Her outstanding temperament immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the port.
"Wife!"
Fu Yanci broke free from Deng Ruibo's hand and ran towards Jiang Zao.
He hugged her and said in a spoiled tone, "Wife, Aci is hungry and it hurts here."
He pointed to his stomach.
Jiang Zao subconsciously rubbed his skin and asked, "Didn't you have lunch?"
Fu Yanci pouted and nodded: "My cousin said he would take me to eat something delicious, but we still haven't gone."
Jiang Zao called out, "Momo, get in the car with Aci, I have some food in the car."
Momo accompanied Fu Yanci into Jiang Zao's car.
Jiang Zao took two steps forward, put her hands in the pockets of her trench coat, and looked at Deng Ruibo: "What are you doing at the port, Uncle? Going for a drive?"
Deng Ruibo followed suit, saying, "Yes, the air here is quite nice, so I came to take a look around."
"Really?" Jiang Zao chuckled. "Then why did you transfer to a ship? Didn't my uncle just return to the country? What, are you trying to smuggle yourself back overseas? Or... are you secretly using the Fu family's ships to transport something out?"
Deng Ruibo naturally refused to admit it, "Zaozao, what are you talking about? How could I do such a thing?"
"Oh." Jiang Zao nodded: "Since it wasn't my cousin who did it, then those things are unclaimed? I need to go and see what good stuff they are; maybe I can make a small profit."
She took a step toward the boat.
Deng Ruibo subconsciously stopped her: "Nephew's wife, you don't have to take some things too seriously. We're all relatives. If you want to make some money, just tell your uncle. You're the younger generation. If you want it, can your uncle refuse? Or, we can cooperate."
Jiang Zao followed up on his question, asking, "How do we cooperate? I provide the ship, you provide the goods, and we smuggle them abroad, bypassing customs? Uncle, that's smuggling, and it's illegal."
Deng Ruibo lowered his voice: "If nobody knows, then it's not illegal."
Jiang Zao's eyes gradually turned cold: "So that's why your cousin took advantage of Aci's naivety to get those things onto the ship?"
Deng Ruibo wasn't stupid either, and he realized he had grasped the Fu family's weakness: "I can see that Yan Ci's aftereffects are indeed quite serious. If outsiders or other shareholders find out about his condition, the Fu family will inevitably be in turmoil. But don't worry, niece-in-law, we are all relatives, we are family. I am the most discreet person."
"Is my uncle threatening me?" Jiang Zao raised an eyebrow.
Deng Ruibo smiled without showing his teeth: "How could that be? I already said, I'm the most discreet person."
Jiang Zao suddenly leaned in and whispered in Deng Ruibo's ear, "Does Uncle know who keeps their mouth shut the tightest? Dead people."
She took two steps back, gestured towards the boat, and shouted, "Search!"
Upon receiving the order, Qin He immediately led his staff to search the boxes.
Deng Ruibo sensed something was wrong and abandoned his outward gentleness, looking at Jiang Zao with a sinister gaze: "Nephew's wife, young people should not be too impulsive. Do you think his mother will let you off the hook if something happens to Yan Ci here?"
Jiang Zao turned around abruptly and saw several people suddenly leap out from the gap between several containers, carrying baseball bats and knives, heading towards her car.
These were the same people who had helped Deng Ruibo carry his suitcases onto the ship; they hadn't left.
Deng Ruibo, confident that he had Jiang Zao under control, chuckled smugly: "Zaozao, your current status and position in the Fu family all depend on Yanci. If you don't want anything to happen to him, just pretend that today's events never happened and have the ship set sail immediately. Don't worry, if you give your uncle face, he won't treat you badly."
His hand brazenly rested on Jiang Zao's shoulder, slowly moving downwards in an ambiguous manner, his gaze towards Jiang Zao revealing a hint of unrestrained wickedness.
The next second.
Click!
Jiang Zao grasped Deng Ruibo's wrist with one hand and, with a slight exertion, heard the sound of bones dislocating.
She didn't even turn around; she just kept looking in the direction of the car.
Just as they were about to rush over to save Fu Yanci, several people suddenly appeared from the shadows and subdued Deng Ruibo's men in a few moves.
Jiang had already seen the photos Zheng Xiao sent and confirmed that they were the same bodyguards before she breathed a sigh of relief.
Deng Ruibo was in excruciating pain from Jiang Zao's twisting, his face contorted in pain.
But Jiang Zao did not let go. She turned around and looked in the direction of the boat.
Qin He was leading his men to carry those boxes down.
Jiang Zao: "Open the box."
Qin He grabbed a crowbar and forcefully pried it open, but then his eyes widened in surprise, and he finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
Turning around, she said, "Third Madam, it's an antique."
Jiang Zao's guess was confirmed. She released Deng Ruibo's hand and said, "Call the police."
If the Fu family were to be accused of smuggling antiques, their century-old legacy would be destroyed, and Jiang Zao would absolutely not allow that to happen.
Deng Ruibo stared at Jiang Zao in disbelief: "This port belongs to the Fu family. If you call the police, the Fu family will also be implicated!"
Jiang Zao remained calm, though her tone was somewhat disdainful: "He's so noisy."
One of the bodyguards was quick-witted; he came over and used his duct tape to gag Deng Ruibo.
