Chapter 144: Lu Juan is better than Yan Ziqi
"By the way, I just wanted to tell you to go with me, I'm afraid I can't be busy with so many people alone. β
Yan Ziqi took the initiative to invite Ji Xiaofan, so that it was even more difficult for him to suspect.
Sure enough, the unnatural look on Ji Xiaofan's face suddenly disappeared.
"Wife, I really want to accompany you, but I have a lot of things on my hands lately. I think if you don't open that bar, I have enough power to support you. β
"That's not going to work!"
Yan Ziqi put down his chopsticks, looked at Ji Xiaofan seriously, and said: "You said not to interfere in my business, it is your business that you have money, and you don't know me, do you think I am the kind of person who is willing to be a moth?"
"It's not. β
I don't know why, after hearing Yan Ziqi's words of peace, Ji Xiaofan's nervous and somewhat suspicious heart suddenly relaxed.
If this is an excuse for Yan Ziqi to travel abroad, he really has to think about it.
However, Ji Xiaofan was already suspicious, so for the sake of insurance, he deliberately asked tentatively, "Do you know that our family has had an accident recently?"
Yan Ziqi thought for a moment and replied, "I heard a little." β
"Oh, what about you..."
Before Ji Xiaofan finished speaking, Yan Ziqi interrupted him, "What do you want to say? You still don't trust me, right? Yes, it's okay, I'm not going to Innsbruck." β
Yan Ziqi deliberately pretended to be very angry and got up, "Xiaofan, you may not have believed me in your heart, so you find someone to follow me and install the location on your mobile phone, do you think I don't know?"
"No, I'm not..."
Ji Xiaofan wanted to explain, but suddenly he didn't know how to explain it, because the facts were indeed as Yan Ziqi said.
"What is not? You deliberately tried your father's business just now to test me, didn't I just distrust me? Do you think I would help him? Xiaofan, you really overestimate me, I can't even save myself, where do you have the ability to take care of others. Also, I'm a person who has suffered from depression, and if I live too depressed, I might just end my life one day. β
"Is this what you want?"
"No, no, I was wrong, I was really wrong, okay, you go, I'll book you a ticket and hotel, I've been busy lately, you go out and have fun." β
Ji Xiaofan's compromise made Yan Ziqi couldn't help but sweat for herself in her heart, she quietly let go of the five fingers clenched into a fist, and her palms were drenched with beads of sweat.
"Well, if you don't feel at ease, find someone to follow me. β
After speaking, Yan Ziqi went upstairs.
Back in the bedroom, Yan Ziqi covered her chest and gasped for air, she thought back to just now, fortunately, she played quite well, and there was no danger.
*
Three days later, Yan Ziqi boarded the plane to Innsbruck with three bartenders from his bar.
Ji Xiaofan personally went to see off the plane that day, and when the plane crossed in front of him, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Ji Xiaofan took out his mobile phone and put it next to his ear, "Say." β
"Mr. Ji, I've checked it, Yan Bin is in Shencheng. β
"Okay, how's the guy from Innsbruck arranged?"
"It's all in place. β
"Got it. β
Ji Xiaofan hung up the phone, he looked up at the blue sky through the glass, and his melancholy eyes were full of thoughts that others couldn't guess.
"Yan Ziqi, it's not that I don't trust you, but I can't afford to gamble. β
*
After a long journey of more than ten hours, Yan Ziqi and his party arrived in Innsbruck, got off the plane, and as soon as they arrived at the hotel, she couldn't wait to open the laptop given by Yan Bin.
Yan Ziqi is very aware of Ji Xiaofan's urine, her mobile phone is very insecure, and there is almost no privacy at all, so she uses this mobile phone for ordinary socializing.
As soon as he connected to the Internet, a notification of a new email popped up at the bottom right of the screen, and Yan Ziqi lightly clicked the mouse confirmation button.
The email was sent by Yan Bin, with only one address, and there was a sentence at the end, "Beware of dogs".
Yan Ziqi quickly understood the meaning of this sentence, that is, Ji Xiaofan sent someone to follow, but it didn't matter, she was already prepared.
The people brought by the bar today are actually not bartenders, they are old friends who have a very good relationship with her and are reliable, to put it bluntly, they are loyal to Yan Ziqi.
Silently memorized the address in Yan Bin's email, and then clicked delete, Yan Ziqi got up and walked to the door, she opened the cat's eye and glanced out, and sure enough, there was a figure shaking outside the door.
Yan Ziqi paced back and forth in the room, and she tried hard to think about what method she had to use to get rid of Ji Xiaofan's eyeliner.
Just when she was at a loss, another encrypted email came from her mailbox.
[I've already found someone to arrange, there will be room service to the door later, your own people, you are waiting for the opportunity to get out.] ]
Yan Bin's email is like a long drought and a rain for Yan Ziqi, which is really urgent.
In order to do more tricks, after thinking about it, Yan Ziqi saw her walk to the door, then open the door, and walk to the next room with an indifferent expression as if nothing happened.
"Tuk, tuk, tuk. β
Yan Ziqi stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, "Ah Zhan, it's me." β
The door opened, and a yellow-haired boy appeared in Yan Ziqi's sight, "Ah Zhan, I'm jet lag and can't sleep, you can play cards with me, and call Xiaoyu and Xiaolin to come to my room." β
Ah Zhan was stunned when he heard this, he looked at Yan Ziqi, but found that she was winking at him, and soon he understood.
"No problem, Sister Period, I'll go now. β
"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the room. β
Yan Ziqi walked back to the room, and before closing the door, she glanced at it and saw a figure behind her quickly flashing.
She kept her composure and returned to her room.
After a while, Ah Zhan led the two little girls to knock on Yan Ziqi's door, "Sister Qi, we're here." β
Yan Ziqi deliberately waited for a long time to open the door, not for anything else but to prepare for the next thing.
About a minute later, Yan Ziqi went to open the door, "Ah, here, come in." β
"Hmm. β
After the three of them entered, Yan Ziqi immediately said to them: "Ah Zhan, Xiao Yu, Xiao Lin, I have a very important thing to do, and now I need your help." β
Yan Ziqi's expression suddenly became serious, and the three of them also became nervous.
"Okay, Sister Period, we will do whatever you say. β
"Yes, don't worry, we're keeping our mouths shut. β
Yan Ziqi looked at them and couldn't help but sigh, how could the little children now be so caring, it was really in vain that she was good to them.
"Thank you, thank you. β
After thanking her, Yan Ziqi's gaze wandered between Xiao Yu and Xiao Lin, and she pinched her chin with her hand, as if she was thinking.
"Ah Zhan, I'm going to leave for a while, about three hours, you remember that you must not go out of this door during this period, and it's best to create a little atmosphere, that is, I'm really playing cards with you. β
"Okay, I understand, Sister Qi, don't worry, I will do it. β
"Uh-huh, so do we. β
Ding Dong β
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang outside the door, Yan Ziqi was startled, and his heart tightened.
She walked to the door and didn't rush to open it, just shouted: "Who." β
"Hello Ms. Yan, we are the room service of the hotel, and we have prepared the snacks you ordered just now. β
Yan Ziqi opened the door, and she turned slightly to the side to let the room attendant walk in.
As soon as they entered the door, everyone was dumbfounded, because the room attendant's appearance and figure were somewhat similar to Yan Ziqi.
has a heart, Yan Bin really has a heart.
Bang β
The moment the door was closed, the hotel customer service began to undress, "Ms. Yan, I was sent by Vice President Yan, in order not to arouse suspicion, let's hurry up." β
"Good. β
Yan Ziqi and the hotel customer changed their clothes in the fastest time, and they didn't communicate too much.
Ah Zhan and the two little girls were also very clever, and they took all the small food from the cart.
"Sister Qi, you have to pay attention to safety, you can rest assured that we will be tight-lipped. β
"Good!"
Yan Ziqi held the cart and took a deep breath to open the door and walked out, and sure enough, as soon as she came out, she saw a man sneaking around at the end of the corridor.
Yan Ziqi lowered her head, then coughed twice, and then she picked up the towel on the cart to cover her mouth and nose and walked past the man naturally.
Everything they do is carefully arranged.
First of all, Yan Bin thought of the trick of "Tanuki for the Prince", and used the hotel customer service to change the face period. The second is to use Ah Zhan to act and cooperate.
This is not an extra move, but it is very necessary, if Yan Ziqi does not gather people together and explain in advance, he is afraid that there will be a mess among them at that time, so the plan is likely to be discovered.
To deal with Ji Xiaofan, it is better to take a detour than take a shortcut.
Fortunately, God willing, everything went smoothly, and Yan Ziqi escaped smoothly from under the nose of the informant.
"Squeak squeakβ"
While Yan Ziqi was waiting for the elevator, she suddenly heard the informant behind her answering the phone, only to see him sneaking into a corner with the phone.
"Hey, boss, everything is fine on my side, my wife and friends are playing cards. β
"There is no suspicion, Mrs. is not alone in the room, I hear their voices. β
"Okay, I see, don't worry. β
Yan Ziqi heard these words, and at this moment, she was glad that she had called Ah Zhan and them to the room just now.
Dingββ
With a prompt sound, the elevator door opened, Yan Ziqi didn't dare to linger any longer, pushed the car into the elevator and left.
Out of the hotel, Yan Ziqi took a taxi directly to the address given by Yan Bin, and when she just got out of the car, she once wondered if she had come to the wrong place.
It looks like a slum in the city, with very dilapidated houses, garbage piled up everywhere, flies and bugs flying all over the place.
"Miss Yan. β
Yan Ziqi was startled by the sudden voice, she held her breath and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"
"Don't worry, I'm the person sent by Vice President Yan to protect you, and the security here is not particularly good, so I'll take you in." β
"By the way, my name is Ruth, I'm a local, but I speak Chinese. β
Ruth introduced himself to Yan Ziqi very enthusiastically.
"Eh, I want to ask Fu Jianguo's wife and daughter if they really live here?"
"Well, yes, it's true, they don't have a place to live except to live here now. β
Ruth's words surprised Yan Ziqi, according to the analysis of ordinary thinking, Fu Jianguo is also a person with a head and a face in Shencheng, how could he arrange his wife and daughter in such a place?
β...β
Seeing that Yan Ziqi didn't speak, Ruth immediately said: "Miss Yan, let's hurry up and find someone, this is not a safe place, I promise Vice President Yan to ensure your safety." β
"Good. β
Ruth led Yan Ziqi into the alley, and in the process, she suddenly noticed the gun pinned to his waist, and she couldn't help but wonder what kind of place this was.
Fiercely dressed women can be seen soliciting customers at the door, and violent men punching and kicking them, and all kinds of sounds fill the alley.
When Yan Ziqi was halfway through, her ankle was suddenly grabbed, and she screamed subconsciously in panic.
When Ruth heard this, he immediately turned around, took out the gun on his waist and said to the homeless man who was catching Yan Ziqi in the local language: "Let her go, or I will shoot." β
βokοΌokγ β
The homeless man retracted his hand stupidly, and Ruth immediately stood next to Yan Ziqi, "I'm sorry, Miss Yan frightened you, let's go quickly." β
"Good. β
Yan Ziqi nodded palely.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they came to a small dilapidated house, Yan Ziqi looked up at the rusty door number on it, and recalled the address in Yanbin's email just now.
It's this.
"Miss Yan, you stand next to you first. β
Yan Ziqi didn't understand why Ruth said this, but she obediently did it.
Knock Knock β
Ruth knocked on the door, and soon a vigilant voice came from inside, "Who." β17
"Police/cha, routine checks. β
Ruth still spoke the local language, and soon the door came.
"Miss Yan, come in. β
Ruth turned sideways and blocked the door, and Yan Ziqi walked in as fast as he could, and then the door was shut.
"Who are you?"
The woman who spoke was Fu Jianguo's wife Jiang Mei, "This is my house, you go out." β
Jiang Mei looked flustered.
Yan Ziqi walked up to Jiang Mei with a friendly smile on his face, "Hello Madam, my name is Yan Ziqi, I am also from Shencheng, I came today to understand some things with you." β
"Get out, I don't know you, get out!"
Jiang Mei's emotions seemed to be very excited, she seemed to be resistant, she walked to the door and tried to pull the door, but Ruth was very rude to stop her.
"No, you can't!"
Seeing this, Yan Ziqi walked up to Ruth, "Either you go out and wait for me, let me talk to her alone." β
"Can you?"
"Well, I can. β
Yan Ziqi smiled gratefully at Ruth.
Bang β
The door was closed, and only Yan Ziqi and Jiang Mei were left in the small room.
"Madam, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, I won't hurt you. β
"I don't know you, I don't want to talk to you. β
This is very difficult, Yan Ziqi didn't expect Jiang Mei to resist so much, and judging from her slightly trembling hands, in addition to resisting, she seems to be afraid.
"Madam, I ask you to believe me, I didn't come to you to hurt you, I just wanted to ask about Ji Shengnian's corruption and bribery. β
Hearing the words "Ji Shengnian", Jiang Mei's blood suddenly faded, she looked at Yan Ziqi in a daze, and then squatted down without warning to cover her forehead, shaking her head painfully, "I don't know, I don't know anything." β
"Don't get excited, ma'am, I just want to know something about you. To tell you the truth, I am Ji Shengnian's daughter-in-law, I just want to save my father, if you can help me, no matter what conditions you offer, I can promise you. β
Yan Ziqi's Haikou boast is a bit big, but at the moment she has no choice, because on the way here just now, she wondered why Jiang Mei, who was used to living a good life, would hide in such a place.
And they will be so committed, does that prove that they want to live?
Therefore, Yan Ziqi analyzed that Jiang Mei must need someone to pull her now.
So she could only use Kuahaikou as a starting point, slowly narrowing the distance between herself and Jiang Mei and gaining her trust.
"Ma'am, believe me, or if you want to get out of here, I think I can help you. β
Fortunately, this breakthrough was found by Yan Ziqi, only to see Jiang Mei, who was still hysterical just now, suddenly quieted down, her hand holding her head slowly let go, and then raised a face full of astonishment to look at her and said, "Can you help me get out of here?"
"Well, I'll do my best. β
Yan Ziqi helped Jiang Mei up, "Madam, sit down, you can tell me anything." β
Yan Ziqi felt that Jiang Mei would be hiding in this kind of place now, she must have been cornered, and most people would choose to give it a go when facing the cliff behind them.
"Madam, I just came to you to find out what happened to Director Fu, hasn't he always had a good relationship with my father?"
Yan Ziqi tried to get the topic on the right track, but the truth didn't seem to be so easy.
"Why should I tell you, do you think I will believe you just by what you just said? You are Ji Shengnian's daughter-in-law, how can I believe that you are not here to harm me. β
Jiang Mei's face changed again.
Yan Ziqi sighed helplessly, "Madam, if I say something you don't like to hear, if I were you, I would be at this point, no matter what I say, I will give it a go." If you don't help me, you may be in hiding for the rest of your life, but if you trust me once, maybe your fate and your daughter's fate will be changed. Besides, if I wanted to hurt you, I should have killed you right now, wouldn't I? Why should I bother to talk so much? I really have only one purpose, that is, to find out what happened before, and did Director Fu explain anything to you when he left? I want to save my father, that's all. β
Jiang Mei stared at Yan Ziqi, silent, and her intuition told her that the girl in front of her was still credible, and she never wanted to live a day like this.
Since Fu Jianguo's accident, she has taken her daughter to live a life of hiding/hiding, she doesn't dare to stay in a hotel, she doesn't dare to go out too much, and the money from the bank's assets doesn't dare to touch at all, so she can only barely survive with a little cash.
And this slum, she really didn't want to stay for a day, just a recent incident where her daughter was almost raped by a homeless man in a box.
So instead of living like this, it's better to really give it a go as Yan Ziqi said, anyway, they are alive and dead now.
After Jiang Mei analyzed this, she began to fall into deep thought.
During this period, Yan Ziqi no longer bothered, she just waited quietly on the side.
After a long time, Jiang Mei finally relented, "Okay, I can promise you Yan Ziqi, but I have one condition, you must first send me and my daughter to a safe place and settle down, in addition, I also want you to help us incognito, in addition, give us another five million." β
Seriously, Yan Ziqi now regrets that he boasted about Haikou, because Jiang Mei's request is really not sincere at all.
But for now, what could she do but promise.
This matter, Yan Ziqi felt that she not only cheated herself, but also cheated Yanbin, and sent Jiang Mei's mother and daughter to a safe place, this project is huge, and it is estimated that only Yanbin has that ability.
Five million, Yan Ziqi thought about it, and could only sell the two-story self-built house where she and Yan Chenghua lived before, and then there was the small apartment that Ji Hangcheng bought with Ji Hangcheng's money before, and then sell the bar.
With such a patchwork, plus a little savings of her own, it is estimated that 10 million is no problem.
"Okay, I promise you, but ma'am, after all I have paid, can you promise me that I will also get what I want?"
Yan Ziqi is not a big fool, there are some things she has to ask clearly.
"Of course, the future of me and my daughter is on you, how could I joke with you with two lives, when Fu Jianguo left, he left us something, I think those can definitely help you. β
Jiang Mei said very surely, the kind of confidence she showed made Yan Ziqi willing to gamble everything for this.
"Good!"
*
After returning to the hotel, Yan Ziqi told Yan Bin about it, she didn't mention five million, only said that she wanted to help Jiang Mei's mother and daughter stay incognito and settle down again.
This matter is actually not a difficult thing for Yan Bin, and that night Ruth went to the slum to pick up Jiang Mei's mother and daughter.
Later, Yan Ziqi asked his former friends to help him and sold the house and bar.
Things are going well, and Jiang Mei's mother and daughter's wish has been fulfilled.
And for Yan Ziqi's promise, Jiang Mei also kept it.
On the night he returned to Shencheng from Innsbruck, Yan Ziqi received an email with a video compressed.
After Yan Ziqi clicked on it, he found that the person inside was actually Fu Jianguo.
He recorded a long video, explaining all the business dealings of the Ji family in the past few years and how he was coerced and wronged Ji Shengnian.
As Jiang Mei said, this is really a gold medal for Ji Shengnian's death-free.
However, what made Yan Ziqi wonder was why Fu Jianguo didn't make it clear who threatened him in the video?
But this is not the point at the moment, the point is that if it drags on any longer, the verdict of the procuratorate will come down, and it will be difficult to overturn the case later.
Yan Ziqi didn't dare to procrastinate, she handed over the video to Yan Bin, and let him only find a suitable opportunity to send it to the Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Everything has finally settled without danger.
*
A month later, Ji Shengnian was acquitted, which was a great joy for the Ji family, and the tower crane safety accident, Ji also negotiated compensation with the family.
It's quite strange that at the beginning, the families of the workers who were crushed to death were very tough on refusing to be private, if the result has always been like this, it means that Ji Shengnian will be offended by one more degree.
can't get out, after all, the country is now very concerned about grassroots safety accidents, even if Ji Shengnian escapes bribery, he may not be able to get up from this pit.
But it's just very strange, and then those hard-line family members have defected, and the truth is really foggy and unclear.
However, there is one person who knows this thing very well.
This person is Yan Bin.
At the bar in the carambola, Yan Bin's eyes have been following Yan Ziqi's busy figure.
"Yan Ziqi, I think you are really stupid, for Ji Hangcheng, you have done so much, is it worth it?"
"It's not worth it. β
The bar was sold, and all Yan Ziqi could take away now was some of her personal belongings, and she came to clean it up today.
"So, you sell bars and houses? Yan Ziqi, if I guessed correctly, Jiang Mei should have also made a fortune from you, you sold these things for more than 10 million, except for half to the families of tower crane workers, is there still half to go to her." β
Yan Bin also analyzed this matter later, he felt that Yan Ziqi was really stupid, on such a cold day, in order to appease those family members, he went to other people's homes every day, moved with affection, knew with reason, and was beaten several times without saying a word.
Every time you have to be sneaky, you have to guard against Ji Xiaofan, the key is that the credit for doing so many things is not hers.
β...β
Yan Ziqi didn't speak, she put the things in the box and then spoke after a while: "It's useless for me to ask for so much money, 10 million can save a person, it's worth it." β
"But do you know that the credit for the things you are doing now has become Lu Juan's, and the Ji family thinks that Ji Shengnian can come out because of her. β
The misunderstanding of this matter has to start with the video, the Commission for Discipline Inspection said that it received an anonymous video, and then it happened that Lu Juan was looking for a lawyer to investigate Fu Jianguo's affairs during that time.
Then everyone naturally thinks that this video was found by Lu Juan.
There was also the matter of going to work for the family members of the tower crane, and later sent someone to ask, and the family members said that there was a little girl who came to the door every day to persuade them, and it happened that Lu Juan had followed up on this matter during that time.
But she is doing a disservice, Lu Juan is used to being strong, and she looks down on the people at the bottom, and the process of being a lobbyist is actually not very popular.
After being bombarded a few times, I didn't follow up on this until Yan Ziqi appeared.
Therefore, this cheap was picked up by Lu Juan again.
"Whatever, I think it's okay to do this, she blocked some unnecessary trouble for me. β
Yan Ziqi thought about it very openly, and felt that it was good to be Lu Juan, so that Ji Xiaofan would not doubt her.
"You're a Buddha. β
"Naturally, I'm Yan Ziqi. β
Yan Bin looked at Yan Ziqi and suddenly fell silent, in fact, there was something hidden in his heart for a long time, and that was why these things could go so smoothly.
It's as if someone is helping in the dark.
Who the hell is this person? Yan Bin still can't guess.
*
Suddenly, Lu Juan became a national treasure in the Ji family.
After Ji Shengnian was released from prison, in order to celebrate this, the Ji family specially set up a lively table in the mansion.
The whole family went.
"Big brother, congratulations, this time there is no danger, and you will survive the catastrophe safely. β
Ji Shengnian's brothers and sisters congratulated him one after another, in fact, there is nothing to celebrate about this matter, they were all wronged, is it to put the wine in order to insert another knife?
But the form, you still have to go.
"This time, thank you all, especially Wanwan, Dad's glass of wine is a separate toast to you, this time you have worked hard. β
"It's not, big brother, this time our eldest daughter-in-law is really tired, she is busy every day for your business, unlike some people, she also travels abroad, tsk, there is really no harm in comparison. β
It was Ji Shengnian's little sister who spoke, she was straightforward, dared to love and hate, and was the youngest of her brothers and sisters, and she was often open-mouthed.
As soon as the little sister's voice fell, some people cast their contemptuous eyes on Yan Ziqi, everyone knew that during Ji Shengnian's imprisonment, she went to the country.
"No, it's heartless. β
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and the broken drum was beaten by 10,000 people.
At this time, if you don't step on it, when to step on it.
In the face of accusations, Yan Ziqi just faced it with a very indifferent smile, at this time, what did you ask her to say?
Who will believe it?
There is also Lu Juan, Yan Ziqi felt that he should really go to the ophthalmology department, how could he be friends with such a person before.
Although Yan Ziqi has never dared to admit this matter, Lu Juan has been very comfortable not to deny it throughout the whole process, which shows that she is really a very selfish person.
But even so, Yan Ziqi won't say anything, she just hopes that Ji Hangcheng won't be like those people now.
But the reality is that it looks quite difficult.
"Okay, let's not talk about it, let's eat. β
Ji Hangcheng didn't seem to want to discuss this issue, Yan Ziqi was quite happy to see him like this, but within two minutes, her heart sank directly to the bottom.
I saw that Ji Hangcheng peeled a shrimp for Lu Juan and Mianmian, and he looked like a model good husband and father.
At that moment, Yan Ziqi suddenly felt that the shrimp in the bowl was no longer fragrant, and his throat began to be bitter...
Overnight, it seemed as if something was pouring towards her, and her vision blurred.
