Chapter 237 Hong Jiumei's Plan
“Xiao Fan, wait here for a moment, I’m going to take a call.”
Tong Caicai, holding the phone, went to a corner.
Li Qianfan thought for a moment and immediately activated the Dragon and Phoenix Mystery Skill. A thread of True Qi entered his ears, and suddenly his hearing strengthened by dozens of times, allowing him to hear the voices of Tong Caicai and Zheng Tianhua.
“Tong Caicai, where are you? Come home immediately,” 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 became even more volatile, and he bellowed, “Tong Caicai, you want a divorce, huh? Impossible. If you dare divorce me, I won’t only kill you; I’ll kill your entire family too.”
“Are you insane?”
“That’s how you’ve driven me! Ha ha ha. Now I’ve lost my job, lost everything. Even you’re bullying me, 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 me to come home. 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 Jiumei’s place.
Seeing Li Qianfan, Hong Jiumei 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 Jiumei asked with a furrowed brow.
“Because she was threatened by Zheng Tianhua…” Li Qianfan did not mention his embarrassing quick misfire, deeming it too shameful, and instead attributed Hong Jiumei’s unhappiness to Zheng Tianhua, telling her everything about the phone conversation between Tong Caicai and Zheng Tianhua.
Upon hearing this, Hong Jiumei’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 Jiumei’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 Jiumei’s lips curled slightly upwards, but her gaze was extremely stern, making her look rather terrifying.
Having known Hong Jiumei for so long, this was the first time 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 My Virtual Library Empire
Hong Jiumei did not hide the fact from Li Qianfan, and she said, “You mentioned earlier that Zheng Tianhua was privately selling counterfeit medicinal 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 crimes during that time.”
Suddenly, Li Qianfan understood Hong Jiumei’s plan—it was set to end Zheng Tianhua.
For an ordinary person, investigating Zheng Tianhua thoroughly might be challenging, but for Hong Jiumei, who had underworld connections, digging up Zheng’s dirty deeds was a piece of cake.
Hong Jiumei was a woman of decisive action. Without hesitation, she picked up her phone and dialed out, “Hello, Brother Wolf, I need your help with something… What, you want to see me too? Where are you? Okay, okay, I’ll come to you right now. Let’s talk in person.”
While speaking, Hong Jiumei walked into the bedroom.
When Hong Jiumei emerged again, she had changed into a clean, neat outfit and said to Li Qianfan, “Xiao Fan, I need to meet 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 immediately said, “All right, you go ahead with your business, and by the way, the book you asked me to keep safe is still with me. You better take it back; it would be troublesome if such a valuable item were lost.”
Li Qianfan hurriedly took the book out from his inner pocket and handed it to Hong Jiumei, adding, “Sister, I need to explain something to you. Due to certain reasons, someone 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 Jiumei took the book, treating it like a treasure as she placed it into her handbag.
Seeing Hong Jiumei’s cautious manner, Li Qianfan suddenly recalled something and said, “Sister, the other day I was helping your sister-in-law find a job at Heavenly World, and Brother Wolf mentioned 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 Jiumei’s face as she said, “Me 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 something might have happened to her.”
After muttering to herself for a bit, Hong Jiumei said goodbye to Li Qianfan and left his home.
Li Qianfan didn’t stay long at Hong Jiumei’s house either; he took a taxi back to the Qilin District.
About ten minutes later, Hong Jiumei arrived at the café where she was supposed to meet Wu Lang.
Upon seeing Hong Jiumei, Wu Lang immediately greeted her with a smile and waved, “Jiumei, I’m over here!”
Hong Jiumei 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 Jiumei didn’t immediately mention her needs but instead asked, “Brother Wolf, I haven’t been able to contact Auntie for a long time. What is she busy with? I often feel a vague unease, like something bad has happened to her. Can you contact her?”
“During this time, 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 Jiumei became increasingly worried and immediately asked, “Brother Wolf, tell me the truth, has something happened to my aunt?”
“Don’t worry, there are some things…”
Before Wu Lang could finish, suddenly Hong Jiumei’s phone rang. She pulled out her phone, saw it was an unknown caller, and after a brief moment of thought, answered the call.
“Hello, Jiumei, it’s your Auntie, Lin Manyue!”
Suddenly, a weak voice came through from the other end of the line.
