Ma Zhang got out of the car begrudgingly, ran up to the wooden bench and opened the parcel.
There was only a booklet inside.
The acquisition agreement and the two checks amounting to a hundred million yuan were all gone.
Unbelievable!
The parcel had been swapped!
It was either the courier or someone who intercepted him along the way.
A wave of anger rushed to Ma Zhangâs brain, along with a strong sense of shame.
He had been played!
He quickly got into the car and went home to find a police car in his driveway. The moment he stepped into the house, he asked the servant where the young master was.
The servant pointed upstairs.
Ma Zhang and Mrs. Ma went upstairs to Ma Baomuâs room. They saw him sleeping soundly on the sofa, reeking of alcohol.
Ma Zhang was worried about his health. âSon, Baomu, wake up. What happened? Werenât you kidnapped?â
âGo away and leave me aloneâ¦â
âSon, son, werenât you kidnapped? Did they cut off your fingers?â
Ma Baomu was very drunk and wanted to sleep. He had no patience for his parents and pushed Mrs. Maâs hand away.
âKidnapped? I just went out for drinks. Is it fun for you to just find any excuse to interrogate me?â
Ma Zhang was about to lose his temper. When the kidnappers called to threaten them, Ma Baomu was crying miserably and they were both worried to death. And now he said that he just went out for drinks?
âHubby, hubby, donât be angry. Our son is back and thatâs the best news. If he wants to sleep, just let him sleep.â
Ma Zhang glared at his wife. âYouâve spoiled him.â
Mrs. Ma was unhappy. âHe is your son too. What do you mean I spoiled him?
You care more about him than me, okay?â
âSigh, if our son is fine, everything is fine. He wasnât kidnapped or injured and thatâs a good thing. Letâs get out of his room.â
Mrs. Ma felt that everything else was a small matter when her son was safe and sound.
Staff from the police station knocked on the door and asked Ma Zhang to come out. They would like to settle the matter of Ruan Haoâs kidnapping.
Ma Zhang told them that everything was a misunderstanding.
Ruan Hao laughed in exasperation. All the pain his son had suffered, the money that had been stolen from him and the humiliation they had suffered from being locked up⦠It definitely wasnât a misunderstanding!
âI want to sue him for kidnapping and robbery!â
Ma Zhang sneered and warned, âWhat robbery? Ruan Hao, youâre not a child.
Be careful with your words!â
âYou said you wanted to buy my company, but you took back the check you gave me. Isnât that robbery?â
Ruan Hao had transferred all his shares to Ma Zhang, and he had been humiliated. He called the police to make a big deal out of it.
So that Ma Zhang also knew that he wasnât someone to be trifled with!
Ma Zhang found it ridiculous. He saw through Ruan Haoâs intentions. He just wanted money.
All he had to do was to give him some money, but this guy had to act tough in front of him. Ruan Hao was just an ignorant child who didnât know what death was!
âLetâs settle this privately. How much do you want? Iâll pay you!â
Ruan Hao said, âOf course youâll have to pay me. You took away all the shares of my company but paying me isnât going to cut it. Youâll have to kneel and apologize to us!â
âKneel and apologize to you? Dream on!â
The two of them were in a heated argument. If the staff from the police station hadnât pulled them back, they would have started a fist fight.
In Jiang Jingchenâs villa, Ji Yi handed the acquisition agreement and checks to Song Zhou.
Ji Yi commented, âSong Zhou, this move of yours is too ruthless. Now that I think about it, I feel sad for Ruan Hao and Ruan Xue. I wonder what sins they committed in their past lives to end up with a son-in-law like you.â
Song Zhou opened the document and checked it to make sure that everything was in order.
He then replied with a sneer, âI donât care what sins they have committed in their past lives, but they are asking to be tortured when they bullied my wife in this life!â
Ji Yi clicked his tongue. âThatâs too scary. Isnât it too easy on Ma Baomu to let him go just like that? He has taken advantage of Ji Er!â
It was true that Ma Baomu bad been kidnapped. The words that he said while crying were also true, but every word was coaxed out of him when Ji Er played games with him.
Song Zhou gave the checks to Ji Yi and said, â20/80 split. You and Ji Er take 20 million and give the rest to charity. Consider it a good deed.â
Only then did Ji Yi take the checks happily. With this job, he and Ji Er received ten million yuan each.
âWhat do you need us to do next?â
Song Zhou smiled and said with a pure and kind expression, âIâll have to trouble you and Ji Er to put up an act. Invite Ma Baomu again. We have a sequel waiting for him.â
Ji Yi shuddered in disgust. He pointed at Song Zhou and said, âSong Zhou, you are a true disciple of Mr. Chen. Youâve gone from bad to worse.â
Song Zhou looked at him innocently and pointed upstairs.
Ji Yi had a bad feeling. He slowly raised his head and saw Jiang Jingchen standing on the stairs and raising his eyebrows at him.
âAm I bad?â
âNo, no, youâre not bad at all. I was just joking.â
Jiang Jingchen walked down the stairs slowly and deliberately walked past Ji Yi. He raised his hand slightly and Ji Yi immediately covered his head with his hands.
Jiang Jingchen froze mid-action, took the checks from Ji Yi and raised his eyebrows at him.
âJi Yi, what are you doing?â
âNo, nothing. I was just scratching an itch.â
Ji Yi wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and secretly glared at Song Zhou.
This b*stard was sabotaging him!
âtoo million, huh?â
Jiang Jingchen smiled casually and stuffed the checks into his pocket.
âSince Iâm so bad, Iâll pocket this money as your teacher. Ji Yi, what do you think?â
âSure!â
Ji Yi felt like crying. His 10 million-yuan commission was gone just like that. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSo, is there anything else?â
âNo, thereâs nothing else. Iâll be leaving first.â
Ji Yi put on his cap nervously and turned to leave. He was really afraid that he would be punished if he didnât leave quickly.
Jiang Jingchen sat down, and Song Zhou respectfully poured him a cup of water.
Jiang Jingchen didnât drink tea at home, but Tang Beibei liked the taste of tea. So, Jiang Jingchen bought a lot of tea and drank it with her.
There was still a hint of Tie Guanyin in his cup. Jiang Jingchen picked up his cup, sniffed the fragrance of tea before he took a sip.
âThe matter of the Ma family needs to be resolved quickly. Letâs not give them any time to react.â
Jiang Jingchen already had a chat with Yang Hao and found out that Ma Zhang was quite capable. If he investigated carefully, he would definitely find something.
Song Zhou nodded. âIâll discuss it with Ji Yi immediately. Iâll settle it in two days.â
âGood.â
Jiang Jingchen put down his teacup, looked at his watch, and went upstairs to the dance studio.
âObedient Beibeiâ¦â
Tang Beibei was practicing a segment with body rolls. Following the beat, she had to arch her back, move her chest and hips to create a ripple effect down her body.
She looked at herself in the mirror and was adjusting her posture when the man hugged her from behind.
âHubby, Iâm practicing.â
Jiang Jingchen saw that she was perspiring and her back was wet. âYouâve been practicing for two hours.â
âEh, are you mocking me for my stupidity? That I canât learn a dance even after two hours?â
â⦠No, I just want you to take a break. Letâs walk the dogs after you change into some dry clothes.â
Tang Beibei glared at him and moved his hands away. âI donât think youâre walking the dogs. You want to walk me.â
Jiang Jingchen laughed in amusement and grabbed the back of her neck. âSince you know, be good. Take a break and walk the dogs with me.â
Tang Beibei sighed. She was indeed tired from dance practice.
She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips. âWait for me, Iâll go change.â
âWhereâs my interest for waiting?â
Jiang Jingchen was reluctant to let her go. He pulled her into his arms again. At the sight of her rosy cheeks and bright eyes, he couldnât help but lower his head to find her lips..
