"Xiao Fan, wait here for a mont, I’m going to take a call."
Tong Caicai, holding the phone, went to a corner.
Li Qianfan thought for a mont and imdiately activated the Dragon and Phoenix Mystery Skill. A thread of True Qi entered his ears, and suddenly his hearing strengthened by dozens of tis, allowing him to hear the voices of Tong Caicai and Zheng Tianhua.
"Tong Caicai, where are you? Co ho imdiately," Zheng Tianhua roared on the other end of the phone.
"Zheng Tianhua, first, calm down. Once you’ve stabilized your emotions, let’s get a divorce," Tong Caicai said with evident finality, her face expressionless.
"I don’t agree to a divorce!" Zheng Tianhua’s emotions beca even more volatile, and he bellowed, "Tong Caicai, you want a divorce, huh? Impossible. If you dare divorce , I won’t only kill you; I’ll kill your entire family too."
"Are you insane?"
"That’s how you’ve driven ! Ha ha ha. Now I’ve lost my job, lost everything. Even you’re bullying , huh? A divorce is impossible. You’re my woman for life.
If you dare seek a divorce, I’ll kill you!"
"Madman!!"
With a resolution to divorce firmly in her mind, Tong Caicai ignored Zheng Tianhua’s threats and hung up the phone.
After finishing the call, Tong Caicai returned to Li Qianfan. Her smile was much more forced as she said, "Xiao Fan, my mom called to co ho. It seems like she has an issue she can’t resolve. I need to go back. Let’s contact each other tomorrow evening, and I will take you to renew your confidence."
After saying goodbye, Li Qianfan left the hospital and returned to Hong Jiui’s place.
Seeing Li Qianfan, Hong Jiui asked with a face full of surprise, "Xiao Fan, how was it? Is Caicai feeling a bit better?"
"It doesn’t seem like it!"
Li Qianfan’s expression was awkward as he shook his head slightly.
"Why?" Hong Jiui asked with a furrowed brow.
"Because she was threatened by Zheng Tianhua..." Li Qianfan did not ntion his embarrassing quick misfire, deeming it too shaful, and instead attributed Hong Jiui’s unhappiness to Zheng Tianhua, telling her everything about the phone conversation between Tong Caicai and Zheng Tianhua.
Upon hearing this, Hong Jiui’s face instantly darkened; she clenched her fists and said in a low voice, "That damned Zheng Tianhua not only abuses Caicai but now he even dares to threaten her. He really thinks we have no backers, huh? Since he won’t leave my sister alone, I don’t mind teaching him a lesson!"
"Sister Nine, what do you plan to do?"
Seeing that Hong Jiui’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, Li Qianfan knew she was definitely planning to help Tong Caicai.
"Since Caicai’s idea about the divorce is simple, but Zheng Tianhua threatens my sister with family, then I’ll have to send Zheng Tianhua to a place where he can’t threaten Caicai."
Hong Jiui’s lips curled slightly upwards, but her gaze was extrely stern, making her look rather terrifying.
Having known Hong Jiui for so long, this was the first ti Li Qianfan had seen such a terrifying side of her.
"A place where he can’t threaten Caicai? What place is that?"
At this point, Li Qianfan, curious like a child, asked.
"Prison!" Continue reading at .Côm
Hong Jiui did not hide the fact from Li Qianfan, and she said, "You ntioned earlier that Zheng Tianhua was privately selling counterfeit dicinal materials, which is a criminal act in itself. Ruyi Hall may not hold him accountable, but I’ll use this incident to investigate how much counterfeit material he sold over the years.
Moreover, I’ll also check if he has committed any other cris during that ti."
Suddenly, Li Qianfan understood Hong Jiui’s plan—it was set to end Zheng Tianhua.
For an ordinary person, investigating Zheng Tianhua thoroughly might be challenging, but for Hong Jiui, who had underworld connections, digging up Zheng’s dirty deeds was a piece of cake.
Hong Jiui was a woman of decisive action. Without hesitation, she picked up her phone and dialed out, "Hello, Brother Wolf, I need your help with sothing… What, you want to see too? Where are you? Okay, okay, I’ll co to you right now. Let’s talk in person."
While speaking, Hong Jiui walked into the bedroom.
When Hong Jiui erged again, she had changed into a clean, neat outfit and said to Li Qianfan, "Xiao Fan, I need to et with Brother Wolf to discuss investigating Zheng Tianhua. I can’t keep you company."
Recently, Li Qianfan hadn’t been visiting the Qilin District much, and he just so happened to want to check it out tonight. He imdiately said, "All right, you go ahead with your business, and by the way, the book you asked to keep safe is still with . You better take it back; it would be troubleso if such a valuable item were lost."
Li Qianfan hurriedly took the book out from his inner pocket and handed it to Hong Jiui, adding, "Sister, I need to explain sothing to you. Due to certain reasons, soone saw this book, but she wasn’t very interested in it and didn’t read its contents. It won’t cause you any trouble, right?"
"No problem, as long as the book doesn’t fall into the wrong hands, it’ll be fine. If it gets lost, I can’t afford the consequences."
Hong Jiui took the book, treating it like a treasure as she placed it into her handbag.
Seeing Hong Jiui’s cautious manner, Li Qianfan suddenly recalled sothing and said, "Sister, the other day I was helping your sister-in-law find a job at Heavenly World, and Brother Wolf ntioned that you were about to take over Auntie’s business, becoming the boss of South Gate. Still dealing in antiques, huh?"
"What??"
At this, a hint of confusion flashed across Hong Jiui’s face as she said, " taking over Auntie’s role as the boss of South Gate? Ha, Brother Wolf must have been joking with you. I’ve never thought about taking over Auntie’s position, and besides, I haven’t been able to contact her for a while. I don’t know what she’s busy with. Actually, it’s quite strange.
I really need to ask Brother Wolf clearly about it. I’ve been unable to reach Auntie, and I’m really worried sothing might have happened to her."
After muttering to herself for a bit, Hong Jiui said goodbye to Li Qianfan and left his ho.
Li Qianfan didn’t stay long at Hong Jiui’s house either; he took a taxi back to the Qilin District.
About ten minutes later, Hong Jiui arrived at the café where she was supposed to et Wu Lang.
Upon seeing Hong Jiui, Wu Lang imdiately greeted her with a smile and waved, "Jiui, I’m over here!"
Hong Jiui walked up to Wu Lang and said, "Brother Wolf, have you been waiting long?"
Wu Lang waved his hand, "No, I just got here too. Let’s go inside."
After entering the café, they chose a seat by the window and each ordered a coffee they liked.
Hong Jiui didn’t imdiately ntion her needs but instead asked, "Brother Wolf, I haven’t been able to contact Auntie for a long ti. What is she busy with? I often feel a vague unease, like sothing bad has happened to her. Can you contact her?"
"During this ti, Auntie hasn’t contacted you at all?"
Wu Lang stirred his coffee and with a look of surprise asked.
"No!" Seeing Wu Lang’s expression, Hong Jiui beca increasingly worried and imdiately asked, "Brother Wolf, tell the truth, has sothing happened to my aunt?"
"Don’t worry, there are so things..."
Before Wu Lang could finish, suddenly Hong Jiui’s phone rang. She pulled out her phone, saw it was an unknown caller, and after a brief mont of thought, answered the call.
"Hello, Jiui, it’s your Auntie, Lin Manyue!"
Suddenly, a weak voice ca through from the other end of the line.
