97: Uncle Fu

The next day, everyone who had been resting on the cruise ship had finished tidying up and came out for a meal.

The food on the cruise ship was prepared by the head chefs from Bright Moon Residence and Louju Pavilion!

Of course, this was arranged by Fu Xiangqi. Normally, if you wanted a meal, you'd need a reservation, but this time, they unexpectedly got to eat food from both establishments!

As a result, all the breakfast prepared on the cruise ship was eaten up!

Fu Xiangqi and Jiang Li did not go to the dining hall; their meals were delivered.

“Boss, should the breakfast be brought in or...?”

Fu Xiangqi and Jiang Li were already awake. Jiang Li chose casual clothes instead of a formal dress today, and Fu Xiangqi, naturally following his wife's lead, also wore casual attire!

After finishing breakfast, the two of them went out.

However, they didn't see the sisters Jiang He and Jiang Yan. They only saw Xie Huaian and Mo Jinnan standing together chatting.

“He He and Xiao Yan, why aren't they with you? They haven't woken up yet, have they?”

Xie Huaian heard her and replied, “No, Eldest Sister. They were both a little frightened last night. As soon as they woke up this morning, the two sisters huddled together. We don't know what they are doing right now!”

Mo Jinnan also nodded.

Jiang Li had left early yesterday and didn't know what had happened.

“What happened yesterday that scared these two little girls?”

Mo Jinnan said, “That's right. They were both very popular yesterday. Everyone wanted to register for appointments or seek legal consultation.”

Jiang Li heard this and laughed, “Haha, so they're both hiding in the room. Go call them out; everything is fine now.”

“Alright, I understand.” Mo Jinnan and Xie Huaian went to look for their girlfriends.

Just as the two of them entered the cruise ship, they heard a scream.

“Ah! Help! Someone! Someone!”

Jiang Li and the others outside also heard it and immediately rushed over.

Jiang He and Jiang Yan heard it inside the room and immediately opened the door and came out.

At this moment, Xie Huaian and Mo Jinnan also arrived behind the two of them.

Jiang He saw them and asked, “What's wrong? What happened up ahead?”

“I don't know. Let's go take a look.”

Xie Huaian genuinely didn't know.

“Okay.”

When Jiang He and the others arrived, they found bloodstains at the doorway.

“What happened?”

Jiang Yan looked at the scene and immediately began observing the onlookers.

Mo Jinnan stayed by Jiang Yan's side, protecting her.

Jiang He, along with Xie Huaian, entered the room and saw the person on the bed covered in blood.

Seeing this, Jiang He stepped forward to examine the person. Xie Huaian immediately went to the area where medical kits were stored in each room to retrieve supplies.

“He He, here you go.”

“Mhm. Huaian, help me hold her down.”

“Okay.”

Although they didn't know what had happened, the woman had cuts all over her body, and a knife was stuck in her arm.

Jiang He performed emergency treatment.

After Jiang Li and Fu Xiangqi arrived, they immediately instructed Meng Tianyi to speed up the cruise ship's return journey.

After Jiang He finished treating the wounds, she looked at her sister.

Jiang Li used a wet wipe to clean the blood from Jiang He's hands. “How is she?”

Jiang He shook her head. “She's fine now. The bleeding has stopped. She just needs further treatment once we reach the hospital.”

“Good.”

Jiang Yan walked over, and Mo Jinnan, who was behind her, was restraining a man and a woman.

Fu Xiangqi seemed to recognize the two people and gave Meng Tianyi and Meng Wenrui a look.

The two immediately ordered everyone else to leave. Only the Jiang Family, the Fu Family, and the Xie Family remained.

Xie Huaian's parents looked at Jiang He and stepped forward. “Hello, we are Huaian's parents. We didn't expect our meeting to be so dramatic.”

“Auntie, I should have been the one to visit you.”

Mother Xie saw some bloodstains on Jiang He's hair and wiped them off with a tissue.

Jiang He realized it must have been stained accidentally just now.

“Thank you, Auntie.”

“It's nothing.”

On Jiang Li's side, she asked, “Yan Yan, what is this about?”

Noticing Xiangqi's strange demeanor, she asked, “Qi Qi, what's wrong?”

“Lili, this is my Little Uncle.”

“Little Uncle? I remember you only have a Second Uncle who lives abroad? What's the story with this Little Uncle?”

“He is my father's sworn younger brother. His father was originally my grandfather's bodyguard, but he passed away in a car accident due to an incident later on. He left this child behind, so my grandfather adopted him.”

“So that's how it is. But Yan Yan, why did you two arrest them?”

Jiang Yan looked at the two people on the ground. “Eldest Sister, I think these two are highly suspicious!”

Jiang Li glanced at the person on the bed, who was in her twenties—not very old.

“The person on the bed must be your daughter!”

Jiang Li noticed that the woman on the bed and Little Uncle Fu on the ground had very similar features.

Little Uncle Fu heard this and said, “Jiang Li, do you understand how to respect the elderly and cherish the young? Since you married into the Fu Family, you should show me filial respect. I am your Little Uncle. If my daughter committed suicide, that's her business. Why are you meddling?”

Jiang Li felt this person was so heartless.

Fu Xiangqi heard him and said, “Fu Bin, say one more word, and see if I don't make you leave Shanghai forever.”

Fu Bin heard this and instinctively shivered.

Not for any other reason, but because when he first saw Fu Xiangqi return, he tried to threaten him, but the eighteen-year-old boy scared him so badly that the memory is still vivid today.

“I...”

Father Fu and Mother Fu saw this scene. “Fu Bin, I believe we have never wronged you. What exactly do you want? Regarding your father's matter, we have compensated for all these years. What more do you want?”

Father Fu felt very tired. If it weren't for Fu Bin—no, for Former Fu Bin's father—his own father would have died, which is why he had indulged him all these years.

Even if Fu Bin indulged in drinking, pleasure, and women, Father Fu would arrange for someone to pay for it, but he would absolutely not interfere with anything that crossed the bottom line.

Perhaps Fu Bin also knew this and refrained from doing anything too excessive.

Fu Bin heard this and pleaded, “No, Eldest Brother, please don't. I... I played cards abroad and lost 100 million. You know I have no savings and can't pay it back at all.”

“You...” Father Fu didn't know what to say when he heard that.

He never expected Fu Bin would touch gambling. He completely gave up on trying to manage him.

“Fu Bin, you have two choices. One, I pay off your debt, but you will no longer be a member of the Fu Family. Two, you pay off the debt yourself, and you remain a member of the Fu Family.”

Fu Bin heard this and pleaded, “No, Eldest Brother, you have so much money, please just help me pay it off, okay? I promise there will absolutely be no next time, okay!”

“Eldest Brother Fu, please don't... I beg you, don't.”

Just as Fu Bin finished speaking, Li Meng, Fu Bin's wife, spoke up.

Li Meng said, “Eldest Brother, please don't help him. He won't change. This is already the third time he's gambled. The previous times, he covered the losses by selling houses.”

As she spoke, tears streamed from her eyes.

She also exposed her arm, and Jiang Li saw that Li Meng's arms were covered in bruises.

“He hit you?”

Upon hearing Jiang Li's words, Li Meng immediately pulled her clothes tighter.

“No,” she said, trembling all over.

Seeing this scene, everyone knew what was going on.
