308 Something Happened to Ji Wen
“The Lin Group can’t be as clean as they look,” Liu Siyan said to Ji Lingchen. “The more beautiful their accounts are, the more suspicious they seem.”
Ji Lingchen said, “It’s not convenient for me to deal with these things, so I’ll send Ji Wen to the black teahouse to investigate some things. On the surface, the black teahouse is a teahouse that the Lin family has invested in, but do you know who is actually in charge?”
Liu Siyan shook his head.
“West,” Ji Lingchen replied.
He only said one word, but he knew Liu Siyan would understand.
At this moment, two figures suddenly ran to the two of them.
“Hubby!” Fang Xiaonuan threw herself into her husband’s arms. “Hubby, why are you here?”
“Brother,” Liu Siyu said, hugging her brother. “You’re not busy today?”
The appearance of the two interrupted their prior conversation.
Ji Lingchen hugged his little wife and said to Liu Siyan, “Let’s keep in touch.”
Liu Siyan nodded. “I’m bringing Xiaoyu Home. We’ll stay there for a few days.”
Ji Wen leisurely played with the car keys and walked away.
Ji Lingchen thought that it would take a long time to book a 9-valent vaccine locally, so he was taking Fang Xiaonuan abroad for the vaccine shot. Ji Xiaoyu was also going back to the Liu family’s home to stay for a few days. All the people who always oppressed him were leaving, and Ji Wen was in an extremely good mood.
The night before Ji Lingchen and Fang Xiaonuan left, Ji Wen was called to the study.
“I’ve given you Assistant Liu’s phone number,” Ji Lingchen said. “Continue your investigation. Investigate all the companies under the Lin family, just like the illegal teahouse. Find out who’s controlling them.”
“Uncle, why do you keep asking me to investigate the Lin family?”
Ji Lingchen replied, “It’s not convenient for me to reveal myself in order to find out the truth behind your aunt’s disappearance. I can’t trust anyone else, so I can only rely on you. Be smart and I’ll feel better about it.”
“Uncle, you think the kidnapping case was planned by the Lin family?” Ji Wen understood.
Ji Lingchen shook his head. “Mr. Lin is a coward. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn’t have the guts. Unless he has someone backing him up.”
“Is this Director Xi?” Ji Wen asked.
“He’s just a pawn. Besides, 15 years ago, he didn’t have a career. His power and position couldn’t be what’s backing the Lin family.”
“There are other people behind this,” Ji Wen said.
Ji Lingchen nodded. The next day, Ji Lingchen took Fang Xiaonuan overseas after he had given his nephew some instructions.
In a foreign country, Fang Xiaonuan realized that her luggage had already been packed the moment she got out of bed. There was no sign of her husband in the room. She had just gotten her vaccine yesterday and had not been in a foreign country for more than two days when her husband received a call that night, saying that something had happened to Ji Wen. There were no flights at night, so they could only leave today.
After a while, Ji Lingchen returned to pick up Fang Xiaonuan, and the two of them headed to the airport.
On the plane, Fang Xiaonuan asked worriedly, “Honey, will Xiaowen get beaten up? Although he’s smart, he’s not good at fighting.”
“No, he’s just being detained,” Ji Lingchen replied.
Last night, CEO Ji was discussing where they should go next with his wife, when he received a call about Ji Wen.
The call was from a stranger, who said that Ji Wen was causing trouble in his store. He had been claiming to be Ji Lingchen’s nephew. He called to ask if it was fake. When she heard that it was really Ji Lingchen who answered the phone, she personally went to pick him up. She even claimed that the boss was Ji Lingchen’s old acquaintance, CEO Lin, and even threatened to be impolite to Ji Wen.
Only then did Fang Xiaonuan realize that Ji Wen was investigating the Lin family on her husband’s behalf and was now being detained by the Lin family. She hurriedly packed her luggage and asked her husband to book the plane ticket.
The plane quickly landed in Jing City. Ji Lingchen had wanted to let his little wife go home while he made a trip to the Lin family’s house, but Fang Xiaonuan refused and sat in the front passenger seat. “No, I’ll go with you to the Lin family’s home to see who this Mr. Lin is. How dare he detain my nephew!”
Ji Lingchen could only go along with his wife’s wishes and the two of them went to the Lin family’s residence together.
In the Lin family’s living room, Ji Wen’s phone was on the coffee table.
Fang Xiaonuan took the phone and handed it to Ji Lingchen, but he asked her to put it back in place. “I’ll have them return it to me personally later.”
Fang Xiaonuan put down the phone and sat on the sofa with her legs crossed. She looked less like a guest, and more like she was here to cause trouble.
Mr. Lin came very late this time. He had deliberately let them wait. Twenty minutes later, he came downstairs and said to the two with a smile, “Oh, I’m so sorry, CEO Ji. I was dealing with some work in the study room just now. Please forgive me for making you wait.”
Fang Xiaonuan did not believe his nonsense. Since they were here to stir up trouble, she did not hold back. “Mr. Lin, did you need to draft your lie? Didn’t you peek at us a few times when you were at the corner of the stairs?”
Mr. Lin was a little embarrassed. He did not answer directly, but asked, “You are?”
Fang Xiaonuan pretended to be surprised, “Ah, you don’t know me, Director Lin? When my husband and I got married, we invited all the famous people from all over the world. Mr. Lin, were you not one of them?”
