75: Prepare
Jiang Li and Fu Xiangqi watched the person go upstairs to rest, exchanged a look, and returned to their bedroom as well.
"Qiqi, why do I feel like Godmother's mood isn't right? Could that man have said something?"
After all, when the two of them saw Godmother, she was sitting on the ground and her emotions were clearly very unstable.
It seemed she only snapped back to her senses when she saw them.
"I'm going to the police station in a bit. Please look after Godmother while I'm gone."
"Okay, go ahead. Be safe on the road."
"Mm."
Fu Xiangqi placed a kiss on Jiang Li's forehead and left.
Seeing that it was still early, Jiang Li went to make dinner.
Dinner would be ready when Qiqi returned.
And for Godmother, she would make some easily digestible food.
At a South African police station,
The man brought in by Meng Wenrui refused to admit that he had verbally abused that Chinese woman.
He even spoke with contempt for women.
"A woman carrying such an expensive camera coming here—isn't it all spent from some man's money! Spending a man's money and acting like it's her right."
The policeman felt this man was an utter disgrace upon hearing that.
How were there still such chauvinistic people nowadays?
"Does your family have a throne to inherit? To look down on women like that, didn't you come out of your mother's womb? You talk big, but looking at you, I bet your brain stem is withered."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Guess." The policeman didn't even bother to entertain him and sent someone to pull the surveillance footage directly.
Coming outside, Meng Wenrui was still there waiting for the result.
Seeing the policeman come out, he asked, "How is it? The result?"
"Sorry, he keeps refusing to admit it, we..."
"You have no way? Do you know who he offended?"
The policeman really didn't know this and looked puzzled.
Meng Wenrui said, "He offended our boss, President Fu, who holds fifty percent of the gold mines in South Africa."
The policeman's eyes widened. "Pre... President Fu?"
"Yes."
Meng Wenrui knew how much influence Fu Xiangqi had here; after all, everyone knew about the many mountains he had bought back then.
More importantly, no one had expected that those abandoned mountains actually had gold beneath them.
"That, Mr. Meng, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I'll go make him confess right now."
"No need."
A voice came from the doorway.
Seeing him, Meng Wenrui immediately stepped forward. "President Fu."
Fu Xiangqi glanced at Meng Wenrui and then looked at the policeman.
"I want to see him personally!"
The policeman could see Meng Wenrui's deference and guessed this person's identity.
"President Fu, please wait a moment."
Soon, Fu Xiangqi entered the room.
The man, Zhao Xun, looked at the person entering. This was the culprit who had gotten him into the police station.
Zhao Xun looked at Fu Xiangqi, wishing he could step forward and give him a beating.
"Tell me, what did you say to my Godmother on the mountain? You'd better tell me everything exactly as it happened."
Zhao Xun heard this and said, "I didn't say anything. Isn't a woman just a man's playth—"
Before he could finish, he was slapped to the ground by Meng Wenrui.
He fell to the floor along with his chair, and a metallic taste of blood immediately appeared in his mouth.
Before Zhao Xun could even react, he was hauled up by Meng Wenrui and pinned against the table.
Half of his face was pressed against the table, even becoming somewhat distorted.
"You... believe it or not, I'll ki—"
Before he could finish the threat, he was manually muted by Meng Wenrui, who gripped his throat directly. "Shut up. Did President Fu give you permission to speak?"
"I..."
Fu Xiangqi said, "You'd better recall everything completely. After all, I don't know if you might end up missing some parts of yourself."
The burning pain on Zhao Xun's face and the feeling of suffocation just now made him not want to experience it again.
This person was truly playing for keeps, leaving no room for mercy.
Behind the glass, the policemen who saw the whole process looked at each other. Should they stop it?
How could they stop it? This was the biggest gold mine owner in their region.
They couldn't stop it at all, not even a little bit.
So, all the policemen simply turned their heads away, seeing nothing.
Fu Xiangqi also successfully asked what he wanted to know.
After leaving a final instruction, he left.
The policemen looked at the two leaving, recalling the words just now.
"The man inside has severe violent tendencies and even suffers from psychiatric symptoms, so he can be transferred to a mental hospital."
"As expected, you people really know how to find a way."
"What do you mean 'know how to find a way'? What about the person inside?"
One policeman was confused upon hearing the other's words.
"Transfer him to a mental hospital!"
"Mental hospital? For real?" Receiving no answer, he looked at the handcuffed man who was currently in a state of rage. "He does look quite like a mental patient."
And so, Zhao Xun's fate was sealed.
The woman in Zhao Xun's family wept with joy upon hearing the news; she finally didn't have to endure him anymore... Returning home, Fu Xiangqi saw the two in the dining room eating.
Jiang Li was the first to notice him. "Qiqi, how was it?"
"Don't worry, it's all settled."
"Good, come and eat! I made some dishes."
"Lili made them?"
Fu Xiangqi didn't know Jiang Li could cook.
"I made them, come and have a taste."
Hearing this, Shen Yuan immediately called out, "Qiqi, come quickly, the food Lili made is truly delicious."
Shen Yuan's mood was already much better now.
Seeing that Godmother was doing better, Fu Xiangqi also felt relieved.
After finishing dinner, Jiang Li and Fu Xiangqi returned to their bedroom.
Fu Xiangqi told Jiang Li about today's events.
It turned out that Zhao Xun had inadvertently said, 'Where is your husband? I'll talk to him, I can't be bothered to argue with a woman like you.'
Perhaps it was this sentence that made Shen Yuan remember the matter of Zhai Yu.
In South Africa, Jiang Li and Fu Xiangqi accompanied Shen Yuan to visit all the sights there and finished filming the videos.
Afterwards, the group returned to the country.
After meeting Father Fu and Mother Fu, Shen Yuan returned to her own villa.
This villa was bought by Zhai Yu as their wedding home, but she hadn't expected... Looking at every design detail here, Shen Yuan would be reminded of the time she spent with Zhai Yu.
Shen Yuan lay on the bed and drifted into a dream, as if only in this way could she see her beloved person again... Although Jiang Li and Fu Xiangqi were worried about Godmother, Shen Yuan repeatedly explained that she was fine, so the two didn't press further.
In the following days, the two returned to their normal lives.
[Ding~, it's a new day. Does the host wish to sign in?]
"Sign in."
Jiang Li was bathing, and hearing the system's voice, she definitely wanted to sign in.
[Ding~, sign-in successful. Jiang Li receives 100 million yuan in cash and a reward of the Jinhuang Building!]
"Sign in."
Recently, Jiang Li's sign-in rewards were always numerous, and there were already many she hadn't checked yet.
After washing up, she went downstairs for breakfast.
Then she went to choose the hotel for the engagement banquet.
Fu Xiangqi had already finished his work and came to Bailin Garden Island to pick her up.
"Lili, let's go!"
"Okay."
The two first went to a Jewelry store.
After entering, they were received by the store manager because Fu Xiangqi had already made a reservation long ago.
So the manager had prepared the design sketches early on.
