When the police arrived, Deng Ruibo was crawling towards the water's edge, attempting to fall into the water and escape.
However, just as he was about to fall, Jiang Zao, with a cold smile on her lips, pulled him back.
"Does Uncle want to go swimming? Too bad, that's not a privilege in prison. As for when you'll be released, that's not something we can control."
Deng Ruibo now hates Jiang Zao so much he's grinding his teeth.
He originally thought Jiang Zao was just an ordinary woman who was lucky enough to marry into a wealthy family; to put it bluntly, she was just a free nanny that Old Madam Fu found for Fu Yanci, who had become mentally challenged.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zao was not only shrewd and ruined his plans, but these people also listened to her very much.
"Officer, our staff discovered that someone was secretly putting prohibited items on the ship. They've all been removed. They look quite like antiques, but we don't know if they're genuine or fake. You should take them back and examine them carefully. If they're real, it will help the country recover some losses."
After shaking hands with a police officer, Jiang Zao handed Deng Ruibo over to them.
As for Deng Ruibo's verbal confession, Jiang Zao explained, "He was too noisy and kept urging me to agree to his smuggling demands. He even tried to bribe me. Our Fu family are all law-abiding citizens, so of course we couldn't be misled by him. That's why we taped his mouth shut."
"Oh, by the way, there are some thugs over there, all his men. Unfortunately, they weren't very good at fighting, and my husband's bodyguards subdued them all. Please take them with you as well."
The police officers were surprised that things were resolved so easily, without them even having to do anything. The criminal and the stolen goods were all there; all they had to do was take them back.
As expected of someone from the Fu family, they are so efficient in handling matters.
"I must thank Madam Fu for her cooperation. If these antiques are genuine, then the Fu family has truly done a great service."
And so, Deng Ruibo and all his men were taken away.
Jiang Zao had Qin He and his men thoroughly inspect the boat again, and only allowed it to set sail after confirming that there were no problems.
Fu Yanci got out of the car and ran to Jiang Zao's side, "Wife, is my cousin really a bad person?"
In a child's mind, anyone arrested by the police is a bad person.
Jiang Zao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was alright.
That brat doesn't even realize he's being taken advantage of.
If Deng Ruibo succeeds in this today, the Fu family will truly be finished.
Misbehaving children need to be disciplined.
Jiang Zao pinched Fu Yanci's cheek: "I told you before that you shouldn't be alone with your uncle, but you've forgotten all about it, haven't you? You forgot everything when you heard that someone was going to take you out for a nice meal."
Fu Yanci then remembered that his mother and wife had both said this.
Knowing he was wrong, he lowered his head, his hands clasped together, clutching the hem of his clothes.
His voice was low and soft: "Wife, I was wrong."
Their attitude in admitting their mistakes was quite good.
But Jiang Zao still decided to teach him a lesson: "I'll take away your snacks for another week, and you can't even eat lollipops anymore."
"ah?"
That's serious.
After thinking for a moment, he pouted and said, "It was Aci who did something wrong. Aci is willing to accept the punishment. Aci will not eat snacks or lollipops for a week."
He covered his pocket with his hand.
Luckily, he secretly kept a kitten lollipop.
Jiang Zao noticed his subtle actions but didn't call him out on it.
"Alright, aren't you hungry? I'll take you to eat." Punishment is necessary, but we can't let people go hungry.
Fu Yanci's eyes lit up instantly, "Great!"
Hehe, his wife is so good to him.
Before leaving, Jiang called Qin He over: "Check the background of all the dock staff. Replace those who can be rotated from their original positions. Also, increase security checks. Something like today must never happen again."
Qin He nodded: "Understood, Third Madam."
Jiang Zao took Fu Yanci out for a big meal before going home.
Unexpectedly, there were guests at home.
It was Deng Ruibo's mother and sister.
Madam Deng was Madam Fu's aunt. Being a generation older, she was used to putting on airs as an elder. She sat there, picking and nitpicking at the Fu family's servants and pointing fingers at them. When she saw Jiang Zao and Fu Yanci enter the door, she became even angrier.
"Look, he's back. The nephew and his wife teamed up to send their uncle to the police station. Only you two would do something as righteous as turning your own family against your own. Yanci, have you forgotten how much your cousin doted on you when you were a child? You're such an ingrate."
Madam Deng pointed at Fu Yanci and started scolding him.
Fu Yanci didn't recognize her and was so frightened that he instinctively hid behind Jiang Zao.
Jiang Zao simply pulled him out.
Tell Fu Yanci: "Aci, this is your home. How can you be intimidated by guests who don't know their place? Remember, this is the Fu family home, and you are the head of the Fu family. As long as you are on the Fu family's territory, you will always be the most important person."
Fu Yanci instantly felt confident, straightened his chest, and said the same line: "I am Third Master Fu."
Madam Deng was trembling with anger. She turned to Madam Fu and said, "Lan Qin, your daughter-in-law is going too far. Aren't you going to do anything about it?"
She was clever enough to know that she couldn't do anything to Fu Yanci, so she directly targeted Jiang Zao, whom she thought was an easy target.
Madam Fu rarely smiled at people, so the slight upturn of her lips at this moment was a sign of respect for Madam Deng.
"Auntie, you're not young anymore, you need to take care of your health. Getting angry is bad for your health. Have some tea first."
Madam Deng thought that Madam Fu was intimidated by her, and felt a little smug. She rolled her eyes at Jiang Zao, picked up her tea and took a sip.
"Hmm, this tea is quite good."
Madam Fu immediately gestured to the maid: "Pack some of this tea, so Aunt can take it with her when she leaves."
Madam Deng was even more pleased.
Imagine, who else in the entire Lincheng could make Old Madam Fu lower herself to such flattery?
She's the only one left.
That Jiang Zao dared to mess with her son; she's practically defying the powerful and doesn't know what's good for her.
"Lan Qin, I don't think Yan Ci's wife is very good. Let them divorce quickly. My husband's family has a niece who is quite good in terms of education, appearance and figure. She is more than a match for Yan Ci. In the future, she can also help Yan Ci manage the Fu family business, so you can enjoy a peaceful life sooner."
Haha, so they're eyeing the Fu family's fortune?
Madam Fu still wore the same smiling face as before, but her words were no longer as polite.
"I don't need to trouble you with my daughter-in-law, Aunt. I think Zaozao is very good. She and Yanci are a perfect match. My Fu family has chosen her as our daughter-in-law."
This statement reassured Jiang Zao.
She took Fu Yanci's hand and walked over, sitting down next to Old Madam Fu.
Fu Yanci lowered his head and began to admit his mistake: "I'm sorry, Mom. I did something wrong today. I didn't listen to you and my wife and went out alone with my cousin. I almost let him ruin our Fu family."
