Chapter 201 - 201: Si Fuqing Could Invite Anyone (2)
Uncle Qi, too, was surprised and cast a thoughtful glance at Si Fuqing, pondering the depth ot her intluence.
Pei Yan was not impulsive, nor was he one to be provoked easily.
What had made him comply so readily with Si Fuqing’s single word?
Did she possess some formidable ability they were unaware of?
Uncle Qi meticulously recalled information about Si Fuqing but found nothing noteworthy.
He remarked, ‘Youthful bravery is commendable, but naivety can be dangerous when facing real threats.”
Si Fuqing looked at him, tilting her head slightly, “I can’t compare with you, since you’re closer to being buried.”
Enraged, Uncle Qi’s beard quivered, “You… how dare you…”
“Let’s go,” Si Fuqing said, ignoring him and leading the way out. “Come with me, don’t just stand there. Show me around.”
Mrs. Pei took a second to process the information, then she quickly followed, elated.
She guided Si Fuqing around the Pei Corporation building. As they circled, Mrs. Pei’s alarm grew.
“Such painstaking efforts,” Si Fuqing commented, holding several talismans in her hand. “I’ve collected these for you. Tomorrow at noon, clear out everyone from the company, then wait for me.”
“Of course, of course,” Mrs. Pei agreed eagerly. “Shall I ask Mengzhi to drive you back? Where do you live?”
“No need,” Si Fuqing declined. “I’ll bike back. It’s eco-friendly and healthy.” “Right,” Mrs. Pei also agreed, “I should also bike more for the environment!”
Si Fuqing looked at Mrs. Pei with a complex expression, sensing something off about her, like a change in symptoms.
Mrs. Pei escorted Miss Si Fuqing out, finally feeling a sense of relief. Then, she took a document from Pei Yan’s hands to examine. Anxiety crept back as she looked up, “Honey, can you really secure an investment from RS Group?”
“It’s uncertain, ” Pei Yan shook his head. “But Si Fuqing said the company’s Feng Shui layout has been tampered with. I thought of resolving that first.”
‘You shouldn’t have signed that document!” Mrs. Pei panicked. “It says if you don’t secure RS’s investment, it’s still considered a failure!”
Pei Yan paused, regaining his senses.
Why did he sign it?
It seemed to be because Si Fuqing said just one word.
This…
“Well, we’ve come this far; what else can we do?” Pei Yan sighed. “I trust Miss Si more than anyone in the family now.”
Who would have thought his own siblings would turn against him so ruthlessly?
“Of course,” Mrs. Pei sighed often. “I think those ancient jades might not be enough. Let’s visit my mother in a few days and ask her to find something else in Sijiu City.”
Pei Yan nodded in agreement.
Outside the Pei Corporation building, Si Fuqing mounted a shared bicycle and answered her phone, “No need to send anyone. I’m free now and will stop by on the way.”
“Thank you for the trouble,” the policewoman on the other end said. “Sorry to have you come in person.”
“Don’t mention it,” Si Fuqing ended the call, checked the time, and prepared to cycle to the police station.
“Teacher Si!” Pei Mengzhi eagerly approached. “Anything you need, just say the word. I’m ready to go through fire and water for you!”
Si Fuqing said, without even glancing at him, “Disappear, that’s all.”
Pei Mengzhi: “…”
He touched his head and said, “Or do you need information about the Yu
tam11Y( yu Yao( I’ve Deen close witn mm tor years, I Know a lot!”
“Uninterested,” Si Fuqing said indifferently. “I’m heading to the police station.
Don’t block my view.”
Pei Mengzhi had to give up.
He now knew for sure Si Fuqing had no interest in Yu Yao, and even found him annoying.
That was a relief.
After all, Yu Yao had a childhood sweetheart, and any affection for him from Si Fuqing would only lead to heartache.
Besides, with Si Fuqing’s capabilities, Yu Yao wasn’t a match for her.
Pei Mengzhi checked a message from his gaming buddy.
A new dungeon in “Oracle” was launching next Friday at seven in the evening, eagerly anticipated by gamers worldwide.
Pei Mengzhi was also looking forward to it.
Maybe he’d meet the legendary NINE the God soon.
His mood lifted, Pei Mengzhi drove away, contemplating a string of happy events.
In the Zuo family household, Zuo Qingya had been detained for two days without being allowed visitors from her family. The police station had prohibited visits, leaving the Zuo family in fear and despair.
The elder Mrs. Zuo, appeared pale and weak from worry.
“Don’t be concerned, Mom,” Zuo Tianfeng comforted her. “Qingya will be released soon. Xuanyu is going to negotiate with Si Fuqing at the police station. Our bargaining chips are substantial; she can’t refuse.”
“You know nothing… know nothing,” The elder Mrs. Zuo said, her soul seeming to escape from her. “It’s all going back now, all of it.”
She was aware that Old Master Zuo had adopted Si Fuqing to harness her luck.
Initially, she found this practice objectionable, but as the Zuo family prospered, she acquiesced.
Who knew that luck once taken could ever be returned?
The thing that the elder Mrs. Zuo feared most now was the loss of the portion of luck bound to Zuo Xianyu.
The nature of luck was too mysterious.
But she knew that Zuo Xianyu’s terrifying business talent was actually due to acquiring Si Fuqing’s luck.
Zuo Tianfeng frowned, “Xianyu, what’s going on with Xingting Law Firm?”
“I’ve looked into it,” Zuo Xianyu nodded lightly. “Xingting Law Firm has always been working in the community, helping those who can’t afford to appeal. It’s the same this time.”
“I see,” Zuo Tianfeng nodded. “I thought she had hired them.”
Zuo Xianyu slung her bag over her shoulder, “I’m leaving now.”
Zuo Tianfeng waved her off, “Go, and be sure to bring your sister back.”
At the police station.
A female police officer successfully obtained Si Fuqing’s autograph for herself and several male colleagues.
“Miss Si, the case of Zuo Qingya is being fully followed by Xingting Law Firm,” the policewoman poured a cup of tea. “Please rest assured, Miss Si, the crimes she committed could lead to more than eight years of fixed- term imprisonment.”
“Thank you,” Si Fuqing took the cup. “I trust the law.”
“Sister,” a young officer rushed in, “The Zuo family is here, insisting on talking to Miss Si.’
The policewoman frowned, but before she could speak, Si Fuqing already said, “Okay, let them come and talk to me.”
7.110 Xinnvll then led in
Si Fuqing sipped her tea, as if she hadn’t seen anything.
“It’s like this,” Zuo Xianyu slid an invitation across the table. “We are ready to invest heavily to send you to Muston on Royal College of Art and Film. This is an invitation that Dad finally got, allowing you to enroll without examination.”
Apart from Glenn Academy, the most famous international film school was in the Muston Dukedom.
After all, not everyone could get into Glenn.
‘You should know, you haven’t even completed junior high school, and dropping out to go abroad, your educational background is still a point of criticism in the entertainment industry,” Zuo Xianyu said indifferently. “Going to Muston not only allows you to complete previous courses but also to practice acting. In the future, you could transition into the film industry.” Si Fuqing smiled, “So?”
“So, if you let go of this case and release Qingya, you can go to study in the Muston Dukedom,” Zuo Xianyu looked at her. “This opportunity is very rare. If you miss it, it won’t come again.”
“No,” Si Fuqing raised her head. “Who gave you the illusion that I need the Zuo family?”
Zuo Xianyu frowned, displeased, “Si Fuqing, that’s the Muston Dukedom, don’t you…”
“Muston Dukedom, huh?” Si Fuqing put down her cup.. “Do you need me to give you the contact of their duke? So you can talk to him?”
