Chapter 511: He Comes to Handle It
Chapter 511: He Comes to Handle It
After taking a turn, Zhou Cheng Lei drove straight to Jiang Fu's workplace.
Jiang Fu's office was located very close to the government compound; it was just a five-minute walk away.
Jiang Xia looked at him in surprise, "What's wrong?"
"I saw Lei Yuzhen and her partner near here. I felt something was off, so I thought you should go to your father's office first. I'll go back and take a look."
Jiang Xia nodded, "Alright. Just park on the side, and I'll walk over. Or you can wait for me in the car if you prefer."
The ground was still wet, and it was stuffy and uncomfortable inside the car. Zhou Cheng Lei said, "I have something to discuss with your father."
Soon, Zhou Cheng Lei parked the car and escorted Jiang Xia to her father's office.
Jiang Fu had just finished a meeting and was looking through some documents when he saw his daughter and son-in-law arrive. He stood up hurriedly, "What's the matter?"
Zhou Cheng Lei directly stated the reason for their visit; he wasn't making baseless accusations.
Jiang Xia, who had just woken up, asked if it had rained. When he opened the window, he unintentionally saw them leaving on a motorcycle, but he didn't think too much of it at the time.
Then, he saw them squatting outside the small store, and Lei Yuzhen was holding a suitcase.
He felt that this wasn't just a coincidence.
The first time he saw them, he suspected they were up to something. But when he saw his jeep parked there, he guessed that he and Jiang Xia had left.
So, he went to the small store to wait and watch for them to leave.
Therefore, after his jeep drove away, they came out to check, with the purpose of confirming his suspicions.
He speculated that they had started their plan, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many coincidences in the world.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fu said, "You don't need to get involved in this. I'll handle it. Go home, and don't come here for a while. Pretend you don't know anything about this matter. You don't need to worry about it. I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, and if anyone comes to plead, just say I'm away. Or you can stay in the city for a period to avoid any relatives finding you. Xia Xia, focus on your pregnancy and don't worry about anything."
After all, these were relatives from his son-in-law's side. If he handled it, it would be too impartial, and the relatives might say he lacked human warmth. They might think he could have settled it privately, so why didn't he do so?
Jiang Fu would never condone such people, but he also didn't want these matters to trouble the couple and affect his daughter's mood.
His daughter was still pregnant!
So, he decided to handle it himself! Jiang Fu gave them a few words of caution and asked them to be careful on their way home before hurrying off.
Jiang Family
Lei Yuzhen raised her head and saw three people standing at the door, scaring her pale in an instant.
At the bedroom door stood Jiang Fu, with two uniformed staff members behind him.
Jiang Fu glared at her coldly, "How did you get the keys to my house?"
Lei Yuzhen was terrified, and her words stumbled, "Y-Yes, the factory director gave them to me. I...I came to deliver something to the director."
"Nonsense! My wife's keys are in the shoe cabinet at home. She went on a business trip and forgot to bring them. How did she give the keys to you? Did she make an extra copy for you?"
Lei Yuzhen: "..."
Jiang Fu turned to the two staff members, "This person entered the house without the owner's consent, and we don't know what they were doing here. Please take them away for questioning!"
Lei Yuzhen was terrified. Remembering A Cheng's words, she quickly said, "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! I didn't come to steal anything. I came to deliver money. I swear!"
Jiang Fu, with a stern face, said, "Deliver money? Why would you need to sneak around to deliver money? If the source is unclear and it's an attempt to frame someone, then it's dirty money."
Jiang Fu was even angrier. He was determined to get to the bottom of this and turned to the staff behind him, "Please take this person away and investigate this matter thoroughly. Find out the source of this money she mentioned."
"Yes," the two staff members replied and stepped forward.
One of them took Lei Yuzhen away, while the other retrieved the suitcase from under the bed.
Because they had entered one after the other, they witnessed Lei Yuzhen's actions and knew that she had only hidden a suitcase under the bed, without touching anything else.
Lei Yuzhen, terrified, cried, "No, I'm not here to cause trouble. I really came to deliver the money! The Factory Director asked me to bring it over!..."
Jiang Fu was so furious that he didn't even spare her a glance or a word.
Lei Yuzhen was taken downstairs, where she saw A Cheng, also being held by others, his face pale.
A Cheng was arguing with the officers, "Is it illegal to park here? Which law or regulation did I break? Why are you arresting me?"
No one paid him any attention either.
A Cheng caught sight of Lei Yuzhen and signaled her to stay calm.
As long as Lei Yuzhen didn't slip up and stuck to the story that she was following the Factory Director's instructions, everything would be fine.
Jiang Fu addressed the officers, "Thank you for your hard work. Please investigate thoroughly."
"We will. We'll take them back for questioning."
Jiang Fu nodded.
The officers led the suspects away.
Jiang Fu also got into his car and left; he had other places to inspect.
At this moment, Jiang Xia and Zhou Cheng Lei arrived at the house in the city.
Zhou Cheng Lei first cleaned the dust off the sofa and asked Jiang Xia to sit, while he started cleaning the house.
Jiang Xia held an English book and read, intending to translate it after finishing. This way, the translation would be more accurate.
The house wasn't big, and Zhou Cheng Lei finished cleaning within an hour. He told Jiang Xia, "I'm going to the rooftop to plant some melons."
Jiang Xia immediately put down her book, "What kind of melons? Do we have seeds? I'll come and see."
"Yes, I got some watermelon and cantaloupe seeds from Jiang Yang earlier, but I haven't had time to plant them. They've been in the car," Zhou Cheng Lei said as he helped her up and led her upstairs.
"Do you want me to carry you?" Zhou Cheng Lei asked.
"No need," Jiang Xia replied.
When they returned earlier, Zhou Cheng Lei carried her up the last two flights of stairs. As they reached the top, Jiang Xia felt a bit tired and struggled.
Now, she had rested.
Zhou Cheng Lei pulled her upstairs.
Jiang Xia thought about how their room was on the second floor, while Zhou Zhou's room was on the third floor. She visited Zhou Zhou's room on the third floor daily to check his homework, so she was no stranger to climbing stairs.
As long as the weather was good, Zhou Cheng Lei would accompany her for a walk by the sea after dinner. Even though she mostly sat during the day, the exercise should be sufficient. But after that dream, she felt exhausted climbing just a few flights of stairs. She decided she needed to move around more and not sit for too long.
From then on, she would walk for ten minutes after every one or two hours of sitting.
Zhou Cheng Lei and Jiang Xia reached the rooftop.
Zhou Cheng Lei took out a small hoe and loosened the soil in the flower bed.
Jiang Xia said, "Give me the hoe, I'll do it."
Zhou Cheng Lei handed her the hoe, "Be careful."
Jiang Xia slowly loosened the soil with the small hoe.
Zhou Cheng Lei switched to a small shovel, as his strength and agility made it much faster than Jiang Xia.
Along the rooftop railing, flower beds were built, and in the center, there was a double-layered circular flower bed. The outer rings were lower, and the center was higher, allowing more soil to be stored. The bottom was raised, and the two rings were connected, providing ample soil for the plants in the center.
Zhou Cheng Lei quickly loosened the soil in two flower beds and left the third one for Jiang Xia to play with while he worked on the central flower bed.
Jiang Xia pointed to the center and asked, "What are we planting here?"
Zhou Cheng Lei replied, "What do you want to plant? There's plenty of soil, so we can plant anything as long as it's not a tree."
