Chapter 357 Can’t You Live without Jealousy
Lin Xiaoyue looks carefully at the photo on the phone. Soon, she says affirmatively, “I have seen the person.”
Fu Zhengzheng becomes excited instantly, “Did you see him in front of Wen Jiyun’s grave?”
Yang Tao and Ji Muxian stare at Lin Xiaoyue with their eyes wide open.
But Lin Xiaoyue shakes her head and looks confused, “Who is Wen Jiyun?”
Apparently, she has forgotten that she was once asked to identify Wen Jun.
Fu Zhengzheng is about to explain, but Ji Muxian stops her. He asks Lin Xiaoyue, “Where did you see this person?”
“In a mall. Yang Tao, don’t you remember that?” Lin Xiaoyue reminds Yang Tao, “One day, we went to a mall, a girl fell over, and a good-looking man lifted the girl kindly. I regarded him as a gentleman and spoke highly of him to you. You said he was a friend of Mr. Han and Zhengzheng. Zhengzheng, isn’t that your friend?”
“In addition to seeing him in the mall, haven’t you seen him anywhere else? For example, when you visited your father’s grave, he was visiting the grave of his family nearby?” Fu Zhengzheng doesn’t give up hope.
Lin Xiaoyue looks at the photo again and shakes her head finally, “I’m sure I saw him for the first time in the mall.”
Hearing what Lin Xiaoyue says, they are all frustrated.
“Am I wrong?” Lin Xiaoyue looks at them restlessly.
“No, it’s none of your business.” Fu Zhengzheng shakes her head and then casts her eyes to Yang Tao and Ji Muxian.
“Let’s check the surveillance videos of the place where he was attacked tonight.” Then Yang Tao leaves and Ji Muxian follows him.
“Xiaoyue, I have to go. I’ll see you and aunt another day.”
Then Fu Zhengzheng also wants to leave immediately. At this time, Mrs. Lin runs out of the room and clings to her hand, “Zhengzheng, what’s up? Why do you all leave angrily?”
It turns out Mrs. Lin was tidying up the room. Hearing Yang Tao’s voice, she hurried to take snacks from the kitchen. But when she just came out of the kitchen, she saw Yang Tao leave and Xiaoyue standing at the door in a daze. She thought they just quarreled.
Fu Zhengzheng explains to Mrs. Lin immediately, “Aunt, you misunderstand. No one is angry. We are anxious to deal with something else. I’ll come to see you another day. Xiaoyue, explain it to aunt. I have to go. We really have something urgent to deal with.”
Then she dashes downstairs because Ji Muxian is sounding the car horn to hurry her.
When she just gets into the car, she receives Han Siqi’s call. He asks why she hasn’t gone back and where she is.
“I have to deal with something important with Muxian and Yang Tao. I’ll go back and explain to you later.” She can’t explain clearly for the time being, so she hangs up the phone quickly.
Soon they get to the traffic police brigade. With Fu Zhengzheng’s description, they find the surveillance video around the road section where the attack happened.
“These guys are supposed to be the attackers.” Yang Tao points to some figures zipping across an intersection.
One of the suspects is targeted and his figure is enlarged quickly. Yang Tao and Ji Muxian look carefully and can’t help feeling confused.
“I’ve never seen this guy. He seems to be a newcomer. Enlarge all others.” You know, Ji Muxian has dealt with the hooligans for several years. He is familiar with any hooligan in B City so long as he has a criminal record.
Yang Tao nods and enlarges others’ appearances. But all of them look unfamiliar. Even he feels strange.
Generally speaking, the hooligans looking unfamiliar are newcomers and most of them are young fellows. But these guys don’t look like newcomers, judged from their expressions and appearances.
Yang Tao looks at Ji Muxian and asks, “They aren’t local?”
“Maybe.” Ji Muxian stands up.
“Wait!” Fu Zhengzheng stops Yang Tao from turning off the screen, “This one looks familiar. Gee, where did I see him?”
Yang Tao and Ji Muxian look in the direction of Fu Zhengzheng’s eyes at once. But after looking for quite a while, they don’t think they are familiar with the man.
Fu Zhengzheng stares at the picture for quite a while, but she can’t remember where she saw him. She looks around and feels slightly embarrassed.
“I can’t remember where I saw him. Perhaps I misremember him.”
“I’ll ask Menghuai to investigate their backgrounds.” Yang Tao turns off the screen and stands up.
At this moment, his phone rings. The two policemen waiting in the hospital say Fu Wenhai has come around and is answering their questions.
“I’ll go to the hospital to look at their notes. Muxian, go back with Zhengzheng together.” Yang Tao thinks their residences are close.
Ji Muxian nods.
After Yang Tao leaves, Fu Zhengzheng remembers her car is still parked at the accident site.
“Ask Lu Song to drive the car back.” It’s nearly 00:00. Ji Muxian’s mind won’t be eased if Fu Zhengzheng goes around alone at midnight, so he gives her a lift and they go back to Ten-Mile-Sunshine Resort together.
On the way, Fu Zhengzheng receives Han Siqi’s another call. She tells him that she hitches a lift in Muxian’s car and will get home soon.
Leaning against the backrest, she gives a huge yawn. When she just finishes yawning, the car is stopped.
She thinks they’ve got to the parking lot of Ten-Mile Sunshine Resort and opens the door immediately to get out of the car. But after she opens the door, she finds they just get to the gate, so she locks the door at once and seats herself.
“Siqi is picking up you at the gate.”
Ah? Fu Zhengzheng looks around and really sees Han Siqi walking to the car. She opens the door and gets out of the car at once.
“Mr. Han, I’m sorry to bother you to pick me up at midnight.” Fu Zhengzheng walks to him and holds his arm with a grin.
Han Siqi stares at her with discontented eyes, “Now that you know it’s midnight, why didn’t you come back earlier?”
“I’ve come back now, haven’t I?”
Finding Ji Muxian’s car has run in, Han Siqi pats her forehead heavily, “Is Muxian’s car comfortable to sit in?”
Fu Zhengzheng pinches his wrist rudely, “Can’t you live without jealousy?”
She knows he isn’t really jealous. Instead, he is scolding her for not asking him to pick her up. He asked where she was on the phone just now. Actually, his purpose was to pick her up. But she thought she drove her car and it’s unnecessary to ask him to pick her up. She forgot that her car was parked where Fu Wenhai was attacked.
“I just ask if Muxian’s car is comfortable to sit in. What’s the relationship with jealousy?”
“Aren’t you jealous? The whole Ten-Mile Sunshine Resort becomes sour because of your jealousy. I really can’t understand. You are still jealous of Muxian now. Have you ever thought of Tian’s feeling?”
“Is it related to Tian?”
“Why not? You are doubting Tian’s charm obviously.”
“Your mind is more and more complicated.”
“I think your mind is more and more complicated.”
They bicker on the way to the house of Han Siqi’s parents. The more they bicker, the more amused they feel.
Back in their room, Han Siqi closes the door while returning to the previous topic, “What happened this evening? Muxian and Yang Tao are so anxious.”
Fu Zhengzheng stops grinning and tells him what happened this evening.
“One guy in the surveillance picture looks familiar, but I can’t remember where I saw him.”
“You don’t contact many people in your daily life. How can you be familiar with such a hooligan? You may mistake him as someone else.” Han Siqi isn’t interested in the things about others. So long as Fu Zhengzheng is all right, that’s enough.
Hearing that, Fu Zhengzheng also suspects she mistakes the hooligan.
“Don’t think more. Wash and go to bed.”
“No, I have to call Yang Tao and ask how Fu Wenhai says.”
Fu Zhengzheng takes out her phone to call Yang Tao. He answers her call quickly. He knows what she wants to ask, so he tells her what he knows.
“It’s what we have expected.” She sighs and hangs up the phone. Meeting Han Siqi’s eyes, she tells him at once, “We expected after Fu Wenhai came around, he wouldn’t tell us who attacked him. After he came around, sure enough, he said that to the policemen asking him questions.”
“Perhaps he really doesn’t know who attacked him?”
“He can’t be attacked for nothing at all, right? The person behind the attackers must have a grudge against him. He is so shrewd that he must be clear about it.”
“What if they just attacked him for the key? You also suspect that he is the man behind Li Xiaomeng and he has the key, don’t you? Is it possible that he really has the key and has been found by someone?”
Fu Zhengzheng is surprised, “You are right. Too many people covet the coffer. Alas, I can’t figure something out.”
“What? Tell me and let me help you.” Han Siqi sits down opposite to her with a smile.
“We all suspect Fu Wenhai is probably Wen Jun and the manipulator behind Rongsheng Group. Please think about it. If it’s true, why does he take the risk to look for the coffer? After all, Rongsheng will go public. Why doesn’t he enjoy the existing wealth at ease? Why is he involved in the messy things?”
Han Siqi laughs, “No one will think himself has too much money. Moreover, if he is really Wen Jun, the coffer contains what his father earned during half of his life. Normally, he wants to do something for his deceased father. As far as I know, Fu Wenhai is a man with clear goals. No matter what he does, he must have his reasons. But we don’t know.”
“Well, I suppose what you say is reasonable.” Fu Zhengzheng rises to go to the bathroom. When she walks to the door, she suddenly stops her feet and asks, “By the way, you were in contact with Li Xiaomeng for a long time. Do you know her pet name?”
“Pet name? I only know your pet name.”
“I’m serious.”
“I don’t know.”
Without the hope that he would know it, Fu Zhengzheng isn’t disappointed and enters the bathroom.
“Yongcheng said he might come back with Qiao Keren tomorrow afternoon.”
“What? Tomorrow? Great. Has he told Xiaoyue and his mother?” Fu Zhengzhegn sticks out her head soon.
“No. Yongcheng has something to deal with tomorrow morning. If it goes well, they can come back for dinner. But he is afraid that it won’t be finished quickly, so he hasn’t told his mother in case she will be worried.”
Fu Zhengzheng is excited to hear that, “If he appears before Aunt Lin with a beautiful girlfriend, will Aunt Lin be startled? Haha, I have an idea. Let’s pretend to invite Xiaoyue and Aunt Lin for dinner out and then ask Lin Yongcheng and Qiao Keren to appear before them surprisingly to give them a big surprise, OK?”
“I will follow your arrangement.”
“If Aunt Lin sees such a beautiful daughter-in-law, she must grin from ear to ear and won’t go to hospital frequently.” Talking of hospital, a figure flashes through his mind. She rushes out of the bathroom instantly and picks up her phone.
“What’s up?” Han Siqi looks at her and is confused by her sudden action.
“I remember who the person in the surveillance picture is!”
