Jiangli was a bit slow to react for the first time, her mind tangled. After a few seconds, she awkwardly said, "No need, no need, Mr. Fu, you’ve misunderstood, I was just joking ..."
"But I think, the Abbot makes sense, it ought to be me who pays this expense," Fu Shiyan leaned on the office desk, thinking about Jiangli’s blushing face at the moment, and found it amusing. However, he kept acting serious, "Could it be that the Abbot looks down on Mr. Fu, thinking I can’t even afford this amount?"
Jiangli was at a loss for words.
But money offered on a platter is not to be declined.
It was originally meant to solve a problem for Fu Shiyan, right, right!
With this in mind, Jiangli felt at ease and said, "Alright, then let’s settle it this way for now. When Mr. Fu has any tasks that need my help, just let me know, don’t be shy, next time I won’t charge."
That way, we’re even, right!
Fu Shiyan guessed Jiangli’s eyes must be sparkling as she spoke, and he curled his lips into a smile, "Alright, see you in H city."
Jiangli responded with an okay and then hung up the phone.
Fu Shiyan caressed the phone in his hand, finding the situation truly amusing.
"Ancestor, I’ve called the police, but who were you on the phone with, Mr. Fu?" Xia Xin had finished calling the police and saw Jiangli on the phone. After she finished, he asked.
He had heard Jiangli address the person on the other end as Mr. Fu, which should be Fu Shiyan, right?
Jiangli nodded, "Mhm, I told Mr. Fu that we are going to H city tonight."
"We’re going tonight?" Xia Xin was surprised.
Jiangli: "We must go tonight, otherwise if Ju Gang gets caught tomorrow, or if Master Mu can’t contact Ju Gang and senses something is wrong, it’ll spook them, and if he escapes, where will I find him again?"
That does seem to make sense.
"But I’m not sure if there are any flights to H city tonight, I’ll check," Xia Xin said.
Jiangli hummed in response, "You take care of the tickets. Once we’re there, we’ll meet up with Mr. Fu and head straight to Fu Yuxing’s place."
"Got it," Xia Xin started to search for ticket booking apps.
S city isn’t far from H city; it’s only about an hour by plane.
There are also short-haul flights between the two cities.
However, Xia Xin saw that there was a high-speed train available, which wasn’t too time-consuming, and tickets were more readily available.
And at crucial times, cheaper!
Xia Xin discussed it with Jiangli.
Jiangli didn’t mind, "Just do whatever you think is best, as long as we can get to H city tonight."
"Then there’s definitely no problem. The next high-speed train is leaving in half an hour; it’s very quick, just over an hour," Xia Xin stated.
Jiangli acknowledged it with a good.
And Xia Xin went to book the tickets.
After securing their tickets, they also notified Yao Xuanhang to come meet up with them.
Yao Xuanhang was a little scared and dawdled before finally arriving to meet up.
After hearing the full story from Jiangli, he instantly went from scared to furious, ready to lay hands on Ju Gang.
Jiangli, however, stopped him, "I’ve already given him a beating and ruined his spiritual root. If you go at him now, I’m afraid he won’t withstand it, and if he fails to catch his breath, you’d become a murderer, Mr. Yao."
Yao Xuanhang froze in his tracks, wilting like a frostbitten eggplant, all limp and deflated.
Unable to vent his anger, he felt rather upset.
But with Jiangli having said that, what could he do?
"So, can we go catch Tao Yicheng now?" Yao Xuanhang could only redirect his anger towards Tao Yicheng.
He wanted to give Tao Yicheng a proper lesson.
(Mr. Fu: I just want to give my wife some money, is there a problem? No problem.)
