The call was from Qi Shan. Hearing Zhu Fanfan's voice, he said, "This operation has been exposed, so I'll be busy for a while, finding out who the mole is. I probably won't have any free time for a long time. Uncle won't be able to take you out to play anymore. Be careful out there, don't go too far. If anything happens, call Uncle Qi. If Uncle Qi can't handle it, he'll send people to help you. Don't try to tough it out on your own, understand..."
Qi Shan was about to launch into a long-winded speech when Zhu Fanfan interrupted, "Don't worry, Uncle Qi, I'm a big girl now and can take care of myself. Besides, my grandparents always play with me!"
She's not a real child, how could she not take care of herself? Besides, she knows martial arts!
Qi Shan at the Public Security Bureau got stuck. Is that what he meant? He meant for her to keep things quiet. She and Yu Xin wanted to unify the black market, but they shouldn't go too far.
He can cover for her, but we have to see what kind of situation he can cover and whether he can actually manage it. The way he gets people to help him is by making a scene at the mayor's office. Doesn't he care about his reputation, being over forty? We should be careful with how much face he uses.
Zhu Fanfan asked, "Have the two ringleaders who escaped this time been found? Will they cause any trouble for society?"
Qi Shan could only reply, "It's quite a coincidence that we ran into them just as we were finishing up. They were all arrested and brought to justice. The timing of their escape was too coincidental, which made us realize something was wrong. In the coming days, we will focus on investigating which side's spy they are. The police officers who responded to the call know that you were involved, which may cause you some trouble. If you encounter them, don't hold back, beat them up. Uncle Qi will take responsibility for you."
He still suspected that Fanfan was behind those two groups of people. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that they were all tied up and bumped into each other on the road, and the other party was talking nonsense, saying that they had encountered a ghost? Only superpowers could drive them crazy. He wondered if the girl had gotten any information out of him.
Zhu Fanfan obediently replied, "Don't worry, Uncle Qi, I'm never polite. If they dare to come, I'll chop them up. I won't suffer any injustice. If you can't handle it, run away and come back to Uncle Qi for help."
Qi Shan was relieved: "The most important thing is that you and Yu Xin don't go too far, understand?"
Shanghai is changing faster than she imagined. The lack of a leader in the black market won't cause setbacks; they'll simply choose a leader as quickly as possible. If it drags on until tomorrow, Tiger and his two companions might have already gained a foothold in their territory.
Zhu Fanfan agreed: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Qi Shan: ...That makes me even more uneasy.
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Fanfan went back to her room to wait for her sister to return. She still had a big gift for her sister!
When Xue Chenxi returned, she saw Xiao Fanfan sleeping soundly on the bed. She chuckled and covered her with a blanket. Although she hadn't gone out with Fanfan these past few days, she knew from Sister Xu that Fanfan often ran around outside and must be tired.
A little while later, Zhu Fanfan woke up because she was hungry. After eating, she pulled Xue Chenxi back to the room. Fu Minghao was pleased to see that the two sisters had such a good relationship and told them to do as they pleased.
Once in the room, Zhu Fanfan handed a bankbook to Xue Chenxi: "This is the bankbook I got from the Xue family when I was five years old. We agreed to give you half. This is 60,000 yuan. I've kept it for you for seven years. Finally, it can be returned to its rightful owner. I deposited the money into the bank when I came here a couple of days ago. I can transfer the ownership to you after I finish my business tomorrow."
Xue Chenxi naturally refused to accept it: "It was agreed at the time that if you take it, it's your skill, but you've also taken the risk. If the police find out or your parents get hold of you, you'll be implicated for life. So I can't accept it. You should keep it for yourself! When you grow up, you'll understand the importance of money. This 60,000 is enough to solve many of your problems."
Zhu Fanfan still insisted on giving it to him: "I don't lack anything, and I'll go to the Xue family tonight to get that 100,000 yuan in cash back. I'll make a profit from it all. You need the money more than I do."
To everyone's surprise, Xue Chenxi blushed: "I don't lack money. My mother-in-law gave me a dowry of 11,000 yuan this afternoon, which means 'one in a million.' She also gave me a lot of jewelry and gold and silver as a subsidy because she thought I was spending money to buy a house. I don't lack money now."
Because her mother-in-law had previously been an instructor at a security escort agency, she had accumulated a considerable amount of gold and silver. In previous years, when the economy was bad, she had surplus grain and exchanged it for a lot of jewelry, all of which she found to be of excellent quality. However, since the establishment of the People's Republic of China, people were generally impoverished. As a wealthy single woman with a child, she was easily targeted. Even if she could handle it, it would be too troublesome. So, she usually pretended to be poor. This time, she brought it all out, saying that while the wedding could be without grandeur, the daughter-in-law couldn't be without substance. One had to have both face and substance.
Zhu Fanfan was also happy for her sister: "Sister has such good taste. She knew the rumors were unreliable. Everyone said that Aunt Qi was a tigress who would bite anyone she met, but I didn't expect her to be so good."
Then she worried, "What if, I mean, what if she's faking it? What if she bullies you after you get married, makes you work and hand over your salary, and makes you do all the laundry, cooking, and childcare, and even beats and scolds you?"
Xue Chenxi looked at Zhu Fanfan with amusement: "You're overthinking it. Qingqiu and I grew up together, and I'm very familiar with my mom. I know her well, and she won't make things difficult for me. Besides, I like to cook. My mom also said that Qingqiu and I have already registered our marriage, so we're a family now. We'll take good care of the house together. From now on, I'll just cook, she'll chop wood and fetch water, and Qingqiu will do the laundry and cleaning. A family should do everything in a coordinated manner, and only by working together can things get better and better."
Seeing her sister's happy expression, Zhu Fanfan finally realized that the "Mom" her sister was referring to was Qi's mother, and it seemed that she was a very nice person: "Your mother-in-law and your boyfriend are doing the wrong things, aren't they?"
Xue Chenxi laughed crisply: "You'll know why when you meet my mom."
My mother used to be an instructor at a security escort agency, so she was strong and muscular. She was also quite burly and robust, and at first glance, you might mistake her for a man. She was also impatient with delicate work. She didn't care much for chopping wood or carrying water, but when asked to handle a needle, it was as if the needle was poisoned. In her hand, either the needle would die or she would die in a second. She would tear every piece of clothing she washed, so she always had to hire someone to launder it.
As for Qingqiu, he wasn't a chauvinist. After growing up, he did all the laundry and cooking at home, and he was even quite good at mending clothes. However, he was really bad at cooking. People would think he had poisoned their food after eating it once. It was a wonder that his mother and son had survived until now. So after she cooked a meal, the mother and son unilaterally included her in their protection. Every time Ding Wenshan and Ding Wushan caused trouble, it was Qingqiu who secretly resolved the situation.
