Chapter 30

Seeing Lida's leaving back, Cheng Yuan was restless.The more Lida was like this, the more guilty he felt. He owed Lida so much, and Cheng Yuan didn't know what he could pay back.For Lida's feelings, Cheng Yuan felt cordial, but felt so far away, his heart was illusory, and he didn't know his position.

Cheng Yuan stood in front of the window and looked outside in a daze, the wind was blowing up and down, and he had already been blown into a mess.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Cheng Yuan sat down at the table again, thinking of Wu Yue in Penang, he couldn't help but make a phone call, it was very noisy there, Wu Yue was singing out-of-key songs in KTV.

"Are you okay?" Cheng Yuan asked.

"Ah! What did you say? Oh! I'm fine, don't worry, I've already asked you to buy it, who dares to bully me! By the way, I forgot to tell you yesterday, one of the people who chased us yesterday There is alopecia areata, and that position is exactly the same as that suspicious waiter on the ship!"

"Understood! You should rest early! I will pick you up in a few days."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yuan said to the computer video: "Detective Li, I will leave the rest to you."

"Don't worry!" Detective Li said over there.

After closing the computer, Cheng Yuan was about to leave when the phone rang, and he checked the number, it was Uncle Qi calling.

"Uncle Qi, what's the matter so late?"

Uncle Qi said leisurely: "A Yuan, I want to hold a reception next week and invite the six major banks, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Import and Export Economy and Trade, and important allies and competitors of the Cheng family to sit on the island together. Sit down. First, if you get to know each other, these relationships are considered to be explained to you; second, members of the board of directors of Cheng’s enterprise will also be present. Yes, you can go on your own in the future, I want to go home to take care of myself, don't persuade me, there is no banquet in the world that lasts forever... Remember, everything I do is for Cheng's good!"

Uncle Qi put down the phone heavily, closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa with a look of resignation.

Back home, Cheng Yuan found the second sister and asked her intentionally: "Second sister, do you know the import and export prices of tobacco?"

"do not know."

Cheng Yuan said: "Tobacco tariffs are the highest in the world, and reselling imported tobacco to other countries is not a profitable business at all."

"You're saying that ocean-going fleets are a money-losing business?"

"No, maybe it's a disguised scam! I checked on the spot and checked the manifest. The loading capacity of the fleet is much less than the actual load capacity. It is neither going to sea during the monsoon season, nor is it loaded with commodities that can earn huge profits. Why? ? Uncle Fei has no brains, or Uncle Seven can't do business?"

The second sister immediately became nervous and asked Cheng Yuan: "You know, what do you want?"

"Uncle Qi knows about my investigation of the shipping company. He has repeatedly stated that he wants to retire, just to let me stop the investigation, let this business go, and everyone will live in peace!"

The second sister pondered for a moment and said, "Then second sister will give you an idea. You don't need to investigate the matter of the ocean-going fleet. You sell the remaining half of the shares of the Cheng family to Mr. Fei, and we don't want to touch this business in the future!" "

Cheng Yuan said seriously: "Second Sister, I'm not talking about business, what we're talking about now is crime! Since this fleet has the name of Cheng, Cheng's company is not allowed to have any stains!"

The second sister looked at him worriedly, "Did you find anything?"

Cheng Yuan shook his head and said, "Not yet, but seeing Uncle Qi's nervousness, it shows that they are ready to go, and there will be results soon!"

The second sister held Cheng Yuan's hand tightly and looked at her younger brother worriedly. She didn't know whether it was the cool sea breeze or what, her body began to tremble slightly.

Cheng Yuan paid close attention to Detective Li's actions, and got in touch with him as soon as he arrived at the office the next day. After starting the sea area navigation map, Cheng Yuan cautiously locked the door of the office.

Cheng Yuan stared at the computer screen with bated breath, holding a satellite phone in his hand.

"Detective Li, how is your situation?"

The whistling sea breeze was mixed with Detective Li's voice: "We reported in the high seas 50 nautical miles from Nanya Gulf. We have tracked the fleet and are tracking it with an infrared video camera."

"Fine, go on!"

After a while, Detective Li's surprised voice came from the other end: "I see, they are transporting illegal immigrants on the high seas, what should we do?"

Cheng Yuan was also shocked. After thinking for a moment, he instructed: "Use an infrared camera to take pictures, record the number of people and boarding time, and be sure to bring the evidence back safely."

Detective Li said anxiously: "I will fight for it! From now on we can't talk, the short-frequency radio of the fleet may have picked up our conversation, and their escort ships are loaded with live ammunition!"

"Mr. Li, you and your people must pay attention to safety!"

Cheng Yuan closed the phone and fell silent. The fact of this crime was beyond his expectation. No wonder Uncle Qi was so nervous.The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and suddenly he had a fit, pushed all the things on the table to the ground, and cursed loudly: "Bastard!"

In the bathroom, Cheng Yuan desperately washed his face with cold water, raised his head dripping wet, and said to himself in the mirror: "Calm down, you must be calm!"

Uncle Qi walked up and down the villa irritably, he felt that something was wrong.He has experienced Cheng Yuan's persistence, and he obviously cannot stop his investigation by exchanging his retirement. On the contrary, it will make him more convinced of his speculation.He thought about it and called Mr. Fei.

After Mr. Fei arrived, Uncle Qi opened the safe, took out several contract documents, threw them on the table, and said: "You take these back, they are all the accounts of the ocean-going fleet, and you will have to deal with this business yourself in the future." Done."

Mr. Fei was taken aback, then calmed down, and asked calmly, "Why?"

Uncle Qi said dejectedly: "Because Cheng Yuan checked me, and now he may have found out the secret of the fleet, so I have asked him to retire!"

Mr. Fei picked up the bank contract, his expression became very ferocious, and he sneered, "Seventh brother, the golden cicada has escaped its shell! At this time, you are going to throw the mess to me and leave Cheng by yourself?"

Uncle Qi argued: "No, I'm taking the overall situation into consideration. I hope to use this method to make up for it!"

Mr. Fei said coldly: "Okay! Seventh brother, let me ask you, if Cheng Yuan really knows the secret, even if you retire, he will not forgive you, what should we do?"

Uncle Qi shook his head and said helplessly, "That's not only a disaster for the Cheng family, but also for the Fei family!"

Mr. Fei said sharply, "It's his own disaster! You know better than me how powerful the big boss is!"

Uncle Qi closed his eyes on his back, he seemed to be sighing, and he seemed to be thinking about it. Even though he was old and cunning, he felt a little helpless now. Could it be that Lian Po is really old?

Cheng Yuan waited anxiously in the car. After a while, Detective Li came over with a leather bag.

After getting in the car, Detective Li took out a stack of photos from his bag and handed them to him: "Look for yourself."

Cheng Yuan flipped through the photos, and there were all photos of people on the rope ladder climbing up to the big ship. The logo of the fleet was clearly photographed, which was Canglang No. [-].

Detective Li said: "When I left, there were still six boats, and each boat had nearly 20 people on board. The fleet didn't mean to leave at all. It seems that there are not enough people on board, and they won't set sail."

Cheng Yuan said angrily: "They are smuggling people! Smuggling people in broad daylight!"

"Yes, this kind of money is the best to earn. The smugglers use the name of ocean-going fleets to pick up people on the high seas, go to the borders of countries where they are smuggled, and then send them away on motorboats."

Cheng Yuan put away the photo: "Thank you! Your reward has been transferred to the account in New York!"

Detective Li nodded to remind Cheng Yuan: "Based on my experience, doing this kind of business requires a strong background, so you must be careful!"

After Detective Li got out of the car, Cheng Yuan hugged his suitcase to calm himself down, turned on the phone and said, "Mr. Prosecutor, this is Cheng Yuan. I want to report the case! Please send the marine police as soon as possible to rescue the stowaways in Nanya Bay..."

Cheng Yuan stared at the suitcase containing the photos, such important evidence could not be carried with him.He drove to the bank and put the photos in the bank's safe.

Cheng Yuan watched the suitcase put into the safe and slowly closed, when the phone rang, and the prosecutor told him that the stowaway boat had been found and was being rescued, and this matter had been reported to Maquina.

Only then did Cheng Yuan heave a long sigh of relief, looked at the time, walked out quickly, and drove to the pier.

On the pier, Wu Yue was waiting for him there. Seeing the familiar sports car approaching, Wu Yue walked over and said happily: "It seems that your affairs are all done, are you here to pick me up?"

Cheng Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, I'm here to pick you up to see Li Kejin. Li Kejin is my biggest concern right now! I've written him into my will, do you believe it?"

Wu Yue curled her lips and said, "Is that an exaggeration?"

Cheng Yuan got off the car himself, opened the door for Wu Yue, and Wu Yue got in the car a little flattered.Apart from beating and scolding when they were together, it was the first time that the two felt that this guy was quite gentle, and Wu Yue was secretly delighted.

Cheng Yuan drove and said, "Before leaving Golden Toad Island, I will take you Happy for the last time!"

Wu Yue asked in surprise: "What do you mean?"

Cheng Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, the amnesty has been applied for, and Li Kejin will be released tomorrow! And I have to attend the reception tomorrow, so I can't accompany you!"

Wu Yue wept with joy, and shouted out of control: "Really?" She watched Cheng Yuan remain silent, stopped her excitement, and thought carefully about some things in Jinchan Island these days, and she was a little bit reluctant.

Cheng Yuan took her to a jewelry store, and personally chose a diamond necklace for Wu Yue to wear for her.

Wu Yue said embarrassedly: "I don't want it, it's too expensive!"

Cheng Yuan insisted on putting it on for Wu Yue, admiringly said: "You gave me something more precious, you deserve it! That's right, just wear it to meet Li Kejin, don't take it off!"

"Why?" Wu Yue was very puzzled.

Cheng Yuan said arrogantly: "No reason, you can only do what I say now! Otherwise, Li Kejin will still not be able to get out!"

Wu Yue said angrily: "You want to go back on your word?"

Cheng Yuan became proud: "Of course, until now, Li Kejin's fate is still up to me!"

Wu Yue was so angry that she wanted to take off the necklace.

Cheng Yuan hurriedly stopped and said, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously!"

Wu Yue glared at him, turned and walked outside.

Cheng Yuan stopped her and said, "Don't worry, the cake I ordered for you hasn't arrived yet."

"cake?"

"Today is Li Kejin's birthday...Don't look at me, I can't remember, and I don't want to remember, Lawyer Qin reminded me!"

Wu Yue looked at Cheng Yuan, her nose twitched, seemingly moved.

Cheng Yuan laughed: "Fool! Hey! The cake is here, let's go, I'll take you to see your Li Kejin."

At the door of the interview room, Cheng Yuan took the initiative to bring down the cake.Wu Yue watched him stand still, Cheng Yuan urged, "Let's go! Can I see Li Kejin standing here?"

Wu Yue faltered and said: "You..."

"Me? What's wrong with me?"

"I mean, are you going in, too?"

"Then what's the matter? Could it be that the two of you are flirting with each other inside, and I'll watch out for you outside? Besides, I bought this cake!"

"Cheng Yuan..." Wu Yue yelled, "Don't bully people too much!"

Cheng Yuan laughed, handed the cake to Wu Yue, and said, "I'm kidding you! You think I'm a fool! Be your light bulb. Come in, I'll wait for you here."

Wu Yue rolled his eyes at him, grabbed the cake, said "idiot", and entered the reception room.

The exquisite cake was placed between the two of them, but Li Kejin was staring at the necklace on Wu Yue's chest, and said in admiration, "My God, such a small chain is full of real diamonds, how much is it worth? That Cheng Yuan is right You are good enough!"

Wu Yue took off the necklace, threw it on the table, and said angrily: "It's all for you! It's all for you!"

Li Kejin said emotionally: "Wu Yue, thank you!"

"It's coming out tomorrow. We have to enjoy today's visit. We will never have such an opportunity in the future. My dad is right, this is also an experience in life!" Wu Yue said happily.

"Yeah, life should be colorful! Wu Yue, I suddenly have an idea."

"what idea?"

"Is the Cheng Group really influential in South Asia?"

Wu Yue thought for a while and said, "Well, it seems to be ranked among the top three!"

Li Kejin calculated and said: "Look, I am a small white-collar worker in a private company in Beijing; and you are just a flight attendant who eats a youth meal. When we go back to China, we have to live the life of the old backwater. We are here this time. It can be regarded as seeing the big world, and I can be regarded as living again. Shouldn't we change a little bit?"

Wu Yue looked at him suspiciously: "What do you want to say?"

"What I mean is, we can turn a bad thing into a good thing! Mr. Cheng, does he... like you a little bit?"

Wu Yue couldn't believe her ears: "What did you say?"

Li Kejin couldn't see the change in Wu Yue's expression, and was still immersed in his longing: "You answer me first, yes or no?"

Wu Yue said impatiently: "I don't know, and I haven't thought about it, why don't you ask me if I love him?"

Li Kejin raised his hands in surrender and said, "I didn't quarrel with you. You are getting more and more irritable. Why don't you listen to me?"

Wu Yue said bitterly: "Okay! Tell me, I want to see what ivory comes out of your dog's mouth!"

Li Kejintian said with a smile: "The rich sons of them may like this tune. We can't suffer this in vain, right? Back in Beijing, we want to get married, have children, and buy a house and a car with a loan. I don’t dare to have fun anywhere, and the air conditioner is afraid of running out of electricity, so what’s the point of living like that?”

Wu Yue was startled by his words and listened dumbfounded.

Seeing that Wu Yue didn't speak, Li Kejin continued: "So, the wisdom of life is to turn bad things into good things. We must seize opportunities and dare to challenge, and we must have a pioneering and innovative spirit. This is a good opportunity. You should take advantage of him. The idea is to find a job for both of us, with a high salary and a comfortable life, and everyone knows that you have a relationship with the boss, and no one dares to touch you. I think this should be done!"

Wu Yue was completely dumbfounded. Seeing Li Kejin's enthusiasm, she asked after a long time: "You don't want to go home?"

Li Kejin continued to immerse himself in the frenzy: "Go back, why not go back! We can go back home in good clothes, instead of being disheartened like now. I'm carrying a bullshit amnesty, and you are going back in the name of a mental illness!"

Wu Yue couldn't even close her mouth, she was no longer the Li Kejin she used to be.

Li Kejin said with emotion: "I'm so stupid. I was jealous and blamed you. Wu Yue, those words are some irrational words I said. Don't take it to heart. It is related to our life-long happiness. I can't Too stingy. I was thinking, you really have something to do with him, at most you don’t tell me... hey, hey, what are you going to do?"

Li Kejin stood up and stepped back, how could there be time?An angry Wu Yue picked up the cake on the table and patted it.Li Kejin's face was covered with cake, and he stood there dumbfounded watching Wu Yue leave angrily.

36．The storm is coming

Wu Yue came out with red eyes, and put on sunglasses in order not to let Cheng Yuan find out.

Cheng Yuan leaned against the car, smiling as she walked over like a thief.

Wu Yue sat in like a ghost, with a blank expression.

Cheng Yuan sat in the driver's seat and didn't start the car, but just patted the steering wheel, as if he still hadn't finished.

The two turned their heads to face each other at the same time and said, "You..."

Cheng Yuan humbly said: "You talk first!"

"Nothing, take me to the hotel!"

Cheng Yuan started the car thoughtfully: "What's the matter? It seems that you didn't eat that cake, let's go eat something first."

Wu Yue didn't object, but just stared blankly ahead.

Cheng Yuan came to the place where they ate hot pot for the first time with ease.As soon as the hot pot was served, Cheng Yuan started to eat with a good appetite, but Wu Yue sat there motionless.

"I thought you would like this place, but if you don't want to eat, then let's go to a western restaurant!" Cheng Yuan said disappointedly.
