Chapter 1350: Don’t Be So Serious
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Perhaps for Wen Yunfang, a human life was not as precious as the goldfish she kept in the living room at home.
A girl had jumped off a building and was seriously injured, but Wen Yunfang only thought of money. The girl was still alive, and Wen Yunfang wanted to leave her to die. She felt that it was bad luck for the girl to die in her place of establishment.
She had no conscience and humanity.
Even the man who informed Wen Yunfang still had a trace of pity for the girl. He wanted to persuade Wen Yunfang to send the girl to the hospital for treatment, but Wen Yunfang rejected him.
Perhaps Wen Yunfang only wanted to vent the anger in her heart. She did not think that it was a human life.
“Will Wen Yunfang find out that you took the account book? Right now, only you and the servant are staying at Wen Yunfang’s place. If she finds out that the account book is gone, the first person she will suspect is you. Why don’t you put the ledger back? You can take it later when the time is right. Even though those things are important, they are not as important as your safety,” Lu Xingzhi said.
“I’ve already taken them. Why would I put them back?” Jiang Yao shook her head. “I don’t think so. There are many ledger books. I took them from a box with a layer of dust on it. I don’t think there’s a need for Wen Yunfang to open the old ledger books.”
Lu Xingzhi was silent for a long time before he nodded and said, “Ask Moe to keep an eye on Wen Yunfang for you. Once she finds out that the books are missing, you can immediately leave the city or contact me. I’ll help you think of a way to cover it.”
“Okay.” Jiang Yao’s answer was very straightforward. She did not have any intention of making Lu Xingzhi worry.
Big Ke arrived very quickly. Jiang Yao had not even ended the call with Lu Xingzhi when he arrived. After he received the books, he casually flipped through them. The more he looked at them, the more shocked he became. Then, he carefully put the books away. “Don’t worry, Director Jiang. As long as I am alive, I will have this with me.”
“Don’t be so serious.” Jiang Yao patted Big Ke’s shoulder. “You and Ah Lu work in the dark. Even if something happens to Xingzhi and me, no one will find you. I am very relieved to leave that ledger with you for now. Furthermore, if there is a need for contingency, I hope you will keep your life and throw the ledger.”
It was not just that. If Jiang Yao encountered such a situation, nothing was more important than her life. If she lost the ledger, it would be easy to find other evidence. There was no need to sacrifice herself like that.
The two of them did not exchange pleasantries. After Big Ke left, Jiang Yao also returned to her room.
The walls in the courtyard were not high, so Jiang Yao did not feel any pressure when she flipped in and out of it.
After Moe went back with Jiang Yao, he snuck into Wen Yunfang’s room. He was prepared to monitor Wen Yunfang 24 hours a day. That was an order given by Lu Xingzhi, and the lazy Moe was surprisingly diligent.
Wen Yunfang was determined to get Gu Junhui to Xiang City so that the country b.u.mpkin’s heart would not return to Gu Changshu. The next day, Wen Yunfang brought a dressed-up Jiang Yao to a high-cla.s.s c.o.c.ktail party.
Wen Yunfang could not use any underhanded methods because of Brother Ding’s orders, such as asking a rich man to seduce Jiang Yao.. So she could only bring her out to meet different wealthy men.
