Chapter 370 Want to Escape?
Hearing her phone ring, Li Yin points to the bathroom, “I’ll go to the bathroom.”
Fu Zhengzheng nods, looks at the phone, and finds the call is from Yang Tao. She answers it immediately.
“Zhengzheng? Where are you?”
“I’m in Li Yin’s shop.”
“Call me back when you are convenient.”
“OK.”
After hanging up the phone, Fu Zhengzheng goes out of the room, scoops lunch for Li Yin, and waits for her to come out.
Liu Lin’s aunt described Li Yin’s situation so seriously and made Fu Zhengzheng worried extremely. Now when seeing Li Yin’s situation isn’t as dangerous as Liu Lin’s aunt described, she is relieved.
Fu Zhengzheng has lunch with Li Yin and then takes her downstairs.
Obviously, Liu Lin’s aunt is very glad to see Li Yin go downstairs. She carries stools and pours tea for Li Yin and Fu Zhengzheng.
Fu Zhengzheng takes the chance to describe how toilsome Liu Lin’s aunt is. Li Yin feels guilty and apologizes to Liu Lin’s aunt.
Liu Lin’s aunt waves immediately, “So long as you and your baby are safe and sound, I’m willing to be toilsome.”
Fu Zhengzheng smiles, “Your aunt hasn’t had lunch.”
Li Yin pushes Liu Lin’s aunt to go upstairs for lunch at once.
Liu Lin’s aunt walks upstairs to have lunch happily.
After Liu Lin’s aunt is away, Li Yin begins to weep again.
“Zhengzheng, the fruit shop used to be handled by my cousin. Now the shop is still open, but she is dead. I…”
Fu Zhengzheng comforts her instantly, “We never know what will happen next, so we must be cautious anytime.”
Li Yin sighs, “Zhengzheng, don’t comfort me. I know that, but it’s difficult for me to accept the fact. She died so suddenly. I even didn’t see her for the last time!”
It’s better not to see her for the last time, or you may be haunted by the nightmare during the rest of your life. Fu Zhengzheng thinks that in the heart but comforts her instead, “Your eldest cousin didn’t let you see her for your good. You are pregnant. She was afraid that something would be wrong with you.”
“How can I not know their good intention? Recently I’m in a bad mood. I know my aunt is very toilsome, and my mood affects that of the baby. But I can’t control my mood. I feel sad and suffocated. I always want to cry. Only when I listen to music in the room can I feel better, so I’m unwilling to come downstairs.”
Fu Zhengzheng feels guilty, “Sorry. I didn’t come to accompany you recently because I was too busy.”
“You have your family and work, so you’re inevitably busy. I may be sad only recently. I will be all right a few days later.” Li Yin smiles with pretending lightness.
“Brother Liu will be out soon. When you are sad, please think about it.”
“Yeah.”
When Fu Zhengzheng sees a smile on Li Yin’s face, she is relieved. She remembers to call Yang Tao back and looks at the time.
“It’s almost the time to go to work, right?”
Fu Zhengzheng takes the chance and says, “I had several days off, so I’m swamped when I come back to work.”
“Then go to work right now. Work can’t be delayed.”
Li Yin stands up by propping a hand against her waist. Fu Zhengzheng helps her at once.
“Be careful.”
Li Yin smiles, “I’m not so fragile.”
Fu Zhengzheng gets into the car and waves at Li Yin, “For the baby who will be born soon, please don’t overthink. I’ll come to see you when I’m free.”
Li Yin nods with a smile, and then Fu Zhengzheng starts the car.
She drives the car to the parking lot of the police office. Before getting out of the car, she calls Yang Tao.
“I’m back.”
“Where are you?”
“In the parking lot. I haven’t got out of the car.”
“With the cooperation of the police in D City, we’ve caught the guys that attacked Fu Wenhai.”
“Oh? Did they confess why they attacked Fu Wenhai?”
“Their reason is straightforward. They just said they encountered Fu Wenhai on the way and disliked him.”
Fu Zhengzheng sneers, “Just this? No one believes.”
“The reason can’t be so simple. But they all give the same reason and are experienced. We can do nothing about them but detain them temporarily.”
“OK.”
“By the way, how is the investigation about Rongsheng?”
“There are many problems about its finance.”
“Is it in deficit?”
“It appears that Tong Lean has embezzled a large sum of money from the company to rescue Gu Yang through the interpersonal network.”
“Rongsheng is such a big group. Does he need so much money to do that?”
Yang Tao smiles, “It’s not a matter of money at all. Gu Yang’s crime can’t be solved with money. We guess Tong Lean did it for the sake of someone else.”
“Fu Wenhai?”
“You don’t need to care about these things. Try to arrange for Zhu Ting’s encounter with Fu Wenhai and see his reaction.”
“Got it.” Fu Zhengzheng hangs up the phone and leans against the backrest in a daze.
She hopes Zhu Ting can really play a critical role!
Han Siqi’s call interrupts her thoughts.
“Fu Wenhai invited us to dinner in Glamour Restaurant this evening.”
“He invited us, or you invited him?”
“He invited us. He said he wanted to show his gratitude to you and talk with me about the following business of the Bamboo Heaven project. Drive home after work. I’ll go back to pick you up. Be careful.”
“I know. You should be careful too.” Fu Zhengzheng asks about the number of the private room and hangs up the phone. Then she calls Zhu Ting and tells her the time and place of the meeting with Fu Wenhai.
Fu Zhengzheng drives back to Ten-Mile Sunshine Resort after work in the afternoon. Han Siqi drives to pick her up soon. They go to Glamour Restaurant together.
On the way, she can’t help asking, “Gu Yang has been arrested. Tong Lean is deeply troubled. Fu Wenhai is supposed to be panic and at a loss what to do next.”
“Panic and at a loss what to do next? If so, he isn’t Fu Wenhai. Moreover, why is he panic and at a loss what to do next? The police haven’t found any evidence, right? He is more supposed to live his life as usual. In this way, he will be less suspectable.”
Fu Zhengzheng thinks and feels he has a point, so she doesn’t say anything else.
When they come to the private room booked by Fu Wenhai, he has been there.
Seeing them come in, Fu Wenhai rises instantly to greet them.
Han Siqi asks smilingly, “How is your recovery?”
Fu Wenhai twists his arms to show he has recovered, “Thanks for Miss Fu’s timely rescue. If I had been attacked longer, I might not recover so easily.”
Fu Zhengzheng smiles, “It’s a pity that I could only call 110 for the police and couldn’t give you more help.”
“Oh, you saved my life. Isn’t your help enough? The police called me this morning and told me those guys had been caught. Do you know why they attacked me?”
“Why?” Han Siqi looks at Fu Wenhai and asks.
“They said they disliked me.”
Han Siqi laughs at once, “It seems that it’s not good to be handsome.”
Fu Zhengzheng pretends to be surprised, “The world is so crazy.”
“Yeah.” Fu Wenhai sees the waitress sniggering aside and asks smilingly, “What are you sniggering at? Bring the menu for Mr. Han and Miss Fu to order.”
Han Siqi hands the menu brought by the waitress to Fu Wenhai, “The dinner should be my treat. I seldom went to the hospital to see you because of the company business. I really…”
Fu Wenhai waves at once, “Mr. Han, my life was saved by Miss Fu. Even if we leave it aside, this dinner should be my treat just because of the cooperation we will talk about.”
Fu Zhengzheng breaks in smilingly, “Don’t argue about it. It’s just a meal. According to your friendship, isn’t it the same no matter who pays for the dinner? If you can’t reach an agreement, shall I treat both of you as I saved Mr. Fu’s life? When Mr. Fu rescued me, I didn’t treat him.”
Fu Wenhai objects, “How can I allow you to treat us?”
Han Siqi laughs, “It will never be your treat.”
“Yes.” Fu Wenhai laughs too.
Fu Zhengzheng takes the menu and opens it, “Now that it will never be my treat, I will order. You can argue patiently.”
Fu Wenhai laughs, “No more argument. It’s my treat this time. You can treat me next time.”
“It’s fair.” Han Siqi sits down smilingly.
After Fu Zhengzheng orders, the waitress points to the drinks on the menu and asks what they would like to drink. Fu Wenhai is about to reply, but Fu Zhengzheng stops him.
“Mr. Fu, you just recovered, so you can’t drink. Siqi has to drive back and can’t drink either. I think you’d better not drink tonight.”
Fu Wenhai doesn’t think so, “My injuries have almost healed. Besides, whenever I had dinner with Mr. Han, we would drink. Without alcohol, how can we enjoy ourselves?”
Fu Zhengzheng takes away the menu with force and slips to the waitress, “Bring three bottles of milk. Look at you. Won’t you have chances to drink with him?”
“We’ll just drink a little.” Fu Wenhai holds back the waitress.
Han Siqi stops him smilingly, “Shall we drink next time? Xingxing is nearly seven years old. His mother has a plan now.”
Fu Wenhai pauses and then understands it. Then he lets the waitress go and laughs, “In order to give birth to a healthy baby, you can’t drink.”
Fu Zhengzheng criticizes Han Siqi shyly, “Don’t talk nonsense. Mr. Fu will laugh at us.”
Fu Wenhai laughs, “I don’t take it as a joke. It’s good. Whenever I see Xingxing, he is so lovely that I am eager to get married and have a baby.”
Fu Zhengzheng responds, “Are you at a similar age to Siqi? It’s time to consider it.”
“I want to, but I haven’t met my Miss. Right. If there is a good girl around you, please introduce her to me.”
“Oh, there are no girls around us that can match you.”
“I’m flattered.” Fu Wenhai laughs loudly.
Looking at Fu Wenhai and Han Siqi talking and laughing, Fu Zhengzheng sighs in the heart for Fu Wenhai’s hypocrisy. They are talking about the Bamboo Heaven project, and she isn’t interested. While pretending to eat unconcernedly, she is concerned about Zhu Ting’s appearance.
Then Fu Wenhai’s phone rings.
“Excuse me, I need to answer a call.”
“Go ahead.”
When Fu Wenhai is out to answer the call, Fu Zhengzheng sends a text message to Zhu Ting immediately, “Have you arrived?”
Unexpectedly, she waits for quite a while but still doesn’t receive Zhu Ting’s reply. She feels strange.
At this moment, noises come from outside.
