CHAPTER 867: CHAPTER 589: SECRET ORDER FROM THE IMPERIAL CAPITAL

The money landing in the hands of this group of street kids is, of course, unlikely. Rain-like punches fell on him; he curled up his body, refusing to let go.

"I think he’s just looking for death." Several people looked at his appearance, exchanged glances, and prepared to use a killer move.

"Beat him to death, beat him to death."

"Stop." A male voice halted the hands of this group of kids from falling again.

Several street kids saw an adult coming, exchanged a glance among themselves, and ran away.

"Don’t run, give me back my money, give me back my money." These people are so annoying, not only did they steal his buns, but they also took his money.

Gu Yecheng watched him amusingly, thinking, at such a young age, he’s such a little miser, nearly losing his life but still refusing to give up on getting his money back.

Lan Zhihui glanced at the newcomer, finding him somewhat familiar.

"You’re Lan Shuixian’s younger brother, right?" Gu Yecheng recognized him.

He had seen him in the supermarket a few times, and more so, when investigating Lan Shuixian’s information, he had seen his photo. Although he had grown a bit since then, recognizing him was still easy.

Lan Zhihui stood up without speaking.

"Your sister is not short of money now, so why be such a little miser? Isn’t life more important than money?" Gu Yecheng went over and patted his head, "Let’s go, I’ll take you back."

Lan Zhihui got into the car with Gu Yecheng: "You don’t understand, my sister works very hard for her money. Previously, my grandmother and I, as well as my sister, thought her money came from illegitimate means, but now I realize she works very hard for it too. Every cent she brings home is hard-earned money, so of course, I have to cherish it."

"Oh, how so?" Gu Yecheng was very curious about what Lan Zhihui said.

After all, he was a child, eager for a listener about what he had just discovered: "I just came out from my sister’s office; she has to do a lot of things every day. I heard her talking about receiving goods, which sounds very exhausting. I know what goods mean; it’s stuff. Grandma said, if my sister is doing legitimate business, she’d definitely be dealing with goods, so hearing that my sister indeed deals with goods, I felt relieved."

Gu Yecheng’s pupils shrunk slightly.

"Big brother, my sister is a legitimate businesswoman, so every penny she earns is hard-earned money, and so, I was very upset when they stole my money." Lan Zhihui was still somewhat unable to accept being robbed.

"Don’t be too upset, for your sister, money is just an external possession. Seeing you healthy and safe is what she’d want. Otherwise, why would she earn so much money? Isn’t it for you to have a better life?"

"Big brother, my sister is a good person, don’t you think?"

Gu Yecheng looked at him, "Your sister is definitely a good sister."

"Yes, she is our good sister, my grandmother, and I, and even my sister, we all like her." His sister is surely a good sister; there is no doubt about it.

After sending Lan Zhihui home, Gu Yecheng returned to the car.

Gu Yecheng looked at Ye Fei, saying, "There must be something wrong with Lan Shuixian, have someone strictly monitor her, especially tap her office phone."

Lan Shuixian runs a club, not other shops or stores, it should have no dealings with goods.

"Sir, are you suspicious?"

"Yesterday a batch of smuggled goods arrived, taken by unknown entities."

"Understood."

Although the smuggling had nothing to do with the 319 case, Gu Yecheng felt there might be some connection between the two.

...

"Mom, when are you coming back? We all miss you." Gu Xiaobao, holding the phone, was calling Xiaofeng: "Mom, did you go back to your mother’s house and don’t want to come back?"

"I’ll be back the day after tomorrow." Xiaofeng had returned, and actually had little free time, having to check if there were any loopholes in the factory, and also needing to go to the city, every aspect had to be examined.

She is the main person in charge and has to shoulder some responsibilities.

"Mom, you should have taken brother and me to grandma’s house. Without you at home, we all miss you, even Bai You Bai misses you."

"It’s just a few days." Xiaofeng chuckled a little, "If you miss mom, go play with your great-grandfather, he has lots of fun stuff, you definitely won’t be bored."

This little rascal wouldn’t be bored, her interests are many.

"Alright then, but mom, you have to come back quickly, and bring lots of food back when you do."

"You little foodie, missing mom is one thing, but wanting her to bring back food is probably the real reason."

"That’s not true, I really just miss you."

After a few words with his mom, Gu Xiaobao hung up the phone.

"Xiaobao, Dabao, let’s go, come with grandma for a bit." Yan Junmei, dressed neatly, waved to the boy and girl twins, "We’re going out for some fun."

"Alright." Xiaobao cheered with joy hearing they could go out to play.

Gu Dabao showed no expression on his face and followed his sister out.

...

After hanging up the call, Xiaofeng met Su Peng’s smiling eyes, "It was Dabao and Xiaobao who called."

"Of course, the little one wanted me to bring back a lot of food."

"Why didn’t you bring them back with you? They don’t need you to carry them or hug them, so why didn’t you?" Su Peng was quite upset talking about this.

He missed them too, you know.

"What, you miss them? If you do, you can go to the Imperial Capital and see them." Xiaofeng turned her gaze back to the files.

"I’m okay, but I think dad and mom really miss them."

"That’s simple, marry Wenli early and give dad and mom a big fat grandson."

"I can’t talk properly with you." Su Peng shot Xiaofeng an annoyed look, "This kind of thing can’t be rushed."

"It should be rushed when needed."

"These documents need to be sent to the relevant departments for approval; going together?"

"Let’s go." Su Peng stood up, "I’m familiar with these departments by now."

As Xiaofeng stepped outside, she saw some people in police uniforms heading towards their factory. Judging by their appearance, they didn’t seem like county officers but rather from the city directly.

"Who is Su Xiaofeng?" The leader asked.

"I am." Xiaofeng stepped forward, "And you are?"

"We’re from the City Police Bureau, we’ve received information suggesting your involvement in a smuggling case. Here is the arrest warrant; please come with us."

Upon hearing the charges, Su Peng became anxious: "Comrades, you must be mistaken. We’re just honest businesspeople; how could we be involved in a smuggling case?"

"We received a secret order from the Imperial Capital, stating that she’s involved in a smuggling case with them. We must take her down. Su Xiaofeng, whether you committed a crime or are involved in a smuggling case, will be investigated by those above. For now, all you need to do is come with us; the other issues aren’t for you to worry about."

A case that alarms the Imperial Capital must be a significant one, and they will definitely handle it carefully.

"Do you know what kind of person I am?" Xiaofeng asked, speculating about who in the Imperial Capital wants to take her down.

Doesn’t this indicate that the situation in the Imperial Capital has started to become chaotic, and she wondered what the current situation was with Yecheng and the others.

"Aren’t you just Su Xiaofeng? A businessperson with dealings in the county, city, and even the Imperial Capital, you’ve broken the law under the guise of business." This is what the information from the Imperial Capital stated.

Hearing their words, Xiaofeng suddenly seemed to understand; someone wanted to frame her.

And her return here had just given them the opportunity.

In Xiaojiang City, not too big, not too small, and besides, her marriage into the Gu Family was something known only to her close family; others didn’t know, and usually, it’s hard to find out regarding private information about the Gu Family.

"You must be wrong, my sister truly is an honest businesswoman, and she’s also...," Su Peng wanted to tell them Xiaofeng was the Young Madam of the Gu Family, the wife of the Gu Family.

"Brother, call Team Leader Hong, ask him to come over." No matter what the Imperial Capital intended, one thing was clear to her; she couldn’t go with them.

If she went in, Yecheng would certainly be dragged in with her.

"If there’s trouble, I’ll settle it myself." After all, she’s the Young Madam of the Gu Family now; she can’t bring disgrace to the Gu Family, right?

Although Su Peng didn’t understand why Xiaofeng wanted Team Leader Hong to come over, since the people were from the city and Team Leader Hong was from the county, his presence probably wouldn’t make much difference.

Xiaofeng must have her reasons for asking Team Leader Hong over, and all he needed to do was notify him.

"Su Xiaofeng, calling someone over won’t help. Do you know what smuggling charges mean? It’s a serious crime, so hurry and come with us; we’re taking you back to the Imperial Capital now." The order came from the Imperial Capital, so of course, such an important figure had to be transferred there.
