Lingnan, Xu residence…
The old servant of the Xu family answered the phone. She walked into the living room wearing a coat. Very few people made landline calls so late at night. “Hello, this is the Xu family.”
“Hello, I’m the manager of the Flourish & Prosper Restaurant. Sorry to disturb you so late at night. I have something urgent. Is Master Xu there?”
“Master isn’t here. If you have something urgent, I can convey it.”
At this moment, the ringtone had already awakened Xu Yuanfei and Xu Yao, who were sleeping soundly upstairs.
“Mother Xu, who called?” Xu Yuanfei had indeed gone on a trip. Xu Yao hadgraduated this year and wanted to go on a graduation trip, so she had followed him out to play for half a month. She had just returned to the capital a few days ago.
“A restaurant manager.”
“I’ll answer it.” Xu Yao took the phone and put it on speakerphone. “Hello, it’s Xu Yao.”
“… I’m really sorry. I shouldn’t have disturbed you, but the situation is really complicated, so I could only contact you directly. Someone reported that our restaurant is hiding someone involved in drugs.”
If it was an ordinary restaurant, it would have been fine. But their background was special, and many people thought that the Xu family had an underworld background. If it involved this kind of thing, it would really not be easy to clear themselves. After all, everyone already had preconceived notions.
“Have the police come?” The Xu siblings looked at each other.
“They’re already here and searching.”
“I’ll be right there!” Xu Yao hung up, grabbed his car key, and ran out.
“I’ll go with you.” Xu Yuanfei also knew how dangerous this kind of thing was.
“You’re still wearing your pajamas. By the time you change your clothes and come out, the daylilies will have already turned cold. I’ll go over first and keep in touch.” Xu Yao got into the car, called someone, and went straight to the restaurant.
He also wanted to know who was causing trouble in his territory.
The Xu family was different from the Jing family. The Jing family invested in many stocks, while the Xu family invested in many stores and businesses. The restaurant had been open for more than ten years, and it had always been peaceful.
After all, they were enemies. Moreover, the Xu family had never acted at night, so the news quickly spread to the Jing family.
Jing Hanchuan had already taken a shower but couldn’t fall asleep tonight. He was washing photos in his photography dark room when he heard a knock on the door. He was slightly surprised. “What’s the matter?”
The person stood outside the door. “Something happened to the Xu family.”
Jing Hanchuan didn’t like to hear the word ‘Xu’.
He poured out the photography fluid and continued washing the photos.
“It’s said that a restaurant they operate is involved in something unclean. The police went, but Master Xu wasn’t there. It’s the young master of the Xu family who went there.”
“The Xu family won’t touch dirty things anymore,” Jing Hanchuan said firmly.
Sometimes, the ones who understood you best might not be your friends but your enemies. In the feudal era, the Xu family had never touched drugs when they were at their most lucrative period. How could they take the risk now?
“Who’s being targeted?” Jing Hanchuan held a developed photo and raised it to examine it.
“Miss Song.”
Jing Hanchuan’s expression was as usual.
According to his understanding of Fu Chen, since the matter had blown up and involved Song Fengwan, he definitely had something to do with it.
He even dragged the Xu family in. Who does he want to kill?
“There are many rich second-generation heirs in the restaurant, including the Jiang family and the Sun family.”
“The Jiang family?” Jing Hanchuan narrowed his eyes. “The Jiang family involved in the robbery incident previously?”
“That’s the one.”
Jing Hanchuan was originally not interested in this kind of thing. After all, he really didn’t care about the Xu family. But with so many people involved in this matter, he was interested. “Prepare the car. Let’s go join in the fun.”
“Okay.”
When Jing Hanchuan washed his hands and walked out of the room, he didn’t expect to meet his father by accident. It was the weekend, and the TV stations were all broadcasting evening variety shows. Sheng Aiyi had slept early, so he had followed her upstairs at around nine.
“Dad.”
“Have you heard about the Xu family?” A certain big shot yawned. Clearly, he had just gotten out of bed after hearing about this matter.
“Yes.”
“His elders aren’t around. Go help them.”
“Help the Xu family?”
“Do you really want to have a grudge with their family for the rest of your life? That brat from the Xu family is either driving a car or strolling around on a motorcycle outside our doorstep all day. You’ve offended Old Xu’s son and daughter completely. When he comes back, won’t he settle scores with you?” A certain big shot was angry. “I heard that you even have secret photos of his son?”
“They’re ugly photos.”
“Go over and take a look. After all, he’s still young, so he probably doesn’t know how to handle some things. If you can help, do it. At the very least, if they come to collect debts in the future, I won’t be in the wrong.”
A certain big shot recalled that more than twenty years ago, Jing Hanchuan had smashed someone’s head. He could only apologize to them. He had never felt so aggrieved in his life. Even thinking about it now made him furious.
