According to the latest news from our station, around 22:13 last night, a Ford sedan was driving toward the city entrance when the water temperature was not properly cleared, causing the brakes to fail. This led to a car accident, and the vehicle caught fire. Tragically, all four people inside the car were killed. The relevant authorities remind all drivers to check their vehicle's data before driving. Do not rush or repeat the same mistakes.
The reporter, who was not insignificant in the Hungarian department, delivered the news as Jiang Hai chuckled.
Jiang Hai knew that no amount of careful inspection could have solved this problem, but it didn't matter. As long as these people were dealt with, his mood would improve. It seemed that accepting Azarina was truly a good decision.
After returning home last night, Jiang Hai had washed up and gone to bed, unaware that the imperial capital was in turmoil at that very moment. However, the commotion had subsided by morning. When he turned on the TV, he saw the following news:
"Three members of the An family died last night. The family is now in chaos, with several high-ranking directors, as well as An Dexun's wife, nephew, and niece, all fighting for control of the An family. The Qi family has also seized a significant portion of their assets. If you're interested, you might want to get in on the action."
Qi Li opened the door with an excited look on her face.
In this world, there were only three things that could make her happy: Jiang Hai, attacking the An family, and making money in business. Now that Jiang Hai was helping her bring down the An family and make money, these three things had come together, and she couldn't be happier.
"Forget it. Do you think the people in the court are fools? Someone must have contacted me. This matter might be related to me. Though there is no concrete evidence, if I get too involved, it could be self-incriminating." Jiang Hai shook his head after hearing Qi Li's words. He had no interest in acquiring domestic shares or getting involved in the business. It was hard to manage and would only attract unwanted attention.
This was why, despite having so much money in the United States, he had stayed out of the financial world.
It was dangerous and too high-profile. He preferred to quietly make his fortune, with the rest of it being none of his concern.
"You're right." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Qi Li, who had been a little tempted, calmed down.
She knew less about the workings of the court and its power than Jiang Hai did. Now that the court had decided to cover up the matter, if Jiang Hai and she didn't know how to proceed, they might end up at odds with the authorities. Jiang Hai could afford to weather it, given his roots abroad, but the Qi family would surely face repercussions.
Thinking of this, Qi Li quickly called the company and advised them to act more discreetly. She reminded them that if something went wrong, the company should not be implicated.
"Is there any place you want to go today? Our major issue has been resolved, so we can have some fun now." Qi Li looked at Jiang Hai as she sat beside him, purposefully getting closer. If she weren't worried about scaring him, she would have climbed right into his lap. After this ordeal, her feelings for Jiang Hai had deepened.
Women tend to admire those who make them feel empowered, and Jiang Hai was such a person. He could raise cattle and make over 10 billion USD annually. His strength was enough to subdue mountain lions, and his men had solved the An family issue.
In Qi Li's eyes, how had she not noticed the brilliance of Jiang Hai before?
A man who could make money, was physically strong, and could provide the greatest sense of security—how had she ever pushed him away? Thinking back, Qi Li truly regretted not recognizing such a great man earlier. Now, she wanted to catch him, but it seemed like she had many rivals.
"I really don't know where to go," Jiang Hai replied after a brief pause, touching his chin.
The truth was, he had no idea. He had visited all the typical tourist spots in China—places like the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven—but he wasn't particularly interested in returning. After all, he was just a tourist, not someone who studied these things. The appeal wasn't the same for him.
"You've been to the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Bird's Nest, the Summer Palace, and the Old Summer Palace, but you don't want to shop at the Great Wall? So where should we go?" Qi Li asked, her voice laced with curiosity. Despite having lived in the imperial capital for many years, she found herself in a bind. When she was younger, she visited parks and amusement parks, which she enjoyed, but after college, she had left the country. Upon returning, her family's issues kept her busy, and only now, after avenging herself, did she want to spend time with Jiang Hai.
But she didn't know where to go. She had already visited all the places Jiang Hai had, and there was no place left that she hadn't already seen.
"Maybe ask Feng Yunchen. This guy should be familiar with the imperial capital." Qi Li hesitated for a moment before suggesting.
"Her?" Jiang Hai frowned. He wasn't stupid—he knew Qi Li had an interest in him, and his relationship with Feng Yunchen was a bit complicated. If Qi Li weren't here, he might have called Feng Yunchen, but with her presence, he felt a bit uncomfortable.
"Have you had enough of her?" Qi Li smiled mischievously at Jiang Hai's awkward expression. At least this showed that he cared about her feelings. Right now, all she wanted was to please Jiang Hai, and everything else could wait.
She knew that despite Jiang Hai's past with Feng Yunchen, he couldn't marry her. Having an informant, however, wasn't a bad thing for Qi Li.
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Jiang Hai asked, even more embarrassed now.
"If you're not tired, then just sit and wait," Qi Li laughed. She picked up her phone and dialed a number. After a few rings, it was picked up.
"Hello, Feng Yunchen? Jiang Hai is in Suite xx, Floor xx, at the hotel. I'll give you half an hour to get dressed and come over, or we'll go out and not wait for you." Feng Yunchen barely said a word before Qi Li started speaking rapidly and hung up the phone before Feng Yunchen could respond.
Not even twenty minutes later, Jiang Hai heard the doorbell. When he opened the door, he was greeted by Feng Yunchen and Ai Xiaoxi, both panting. The two women looked at him with anger, and Jiang Hai, already embarrassed, could feel the heat of their glares.
"You, you bastard! You didn't even call us after you returned. What do you think we are?" Ai Xiaoxi felt a bit hurt, while Feng Yunchen, more outspoken, immediately scolded him.
"Uh, let's talk inside," Jiang Hai said, feeling more embarrassed by the second.
"If you don't go, we'll just keep yelling. We have work to do," Feng Yunchen shouted.
"Come back first. Things aren't what you think. Otherwise, I wouldn't have called you," Jiang Hai stammered. At this moment, Qi Li stood up and spoke to the two women.
Hearing Qi Li's explanation, Feng Yunchen and Ai Xiaoxi glanced at Jiang Hai, then reluctantly walked in. But they didn't sit down. Instead, they stood at the door, staring coldly at him.
"Don't be so bitter. Jiang Hai didn't call you because it was for your own good. This return of his is dangerous," Qi Li explained, trying to diffuse the tension. She then gave a brief overview of the reasons behind Jiang Hai's return.
After hearing Qi Li's words, Feng Yunchen and Ai Xiaoxi weren't exactly relieved. They walked over to Jiang Hai and scolded him.
"You didn't tell us anything about this? If something happens to you, do you want us to be widows?" Feng Yunchen pinched Jiang Hai with frustration.
Ai Xiaoxi did the same, but her gaze softened as she checked if he was hurt.
"Alright, enough with the drama. You don't take me, the first wife, seriously." Qi Li rolled her eyes. "Don't worry, Jiang Hai's fine. His men handled everything."
"His men are Belle Lassite?" Feng Yunchen asked with confusion.
"Hey, boss, where are we going today?" At that moment, the door opened again, and Azarina walked in with excitement. When she saw Feng Yunchen and Ai Xiaoxi, all three women froze in surprise. To be continued.
