Chapter 431 It’s Normal to be Addicted to Something
He has never answered a call behind her before!
Fu Zhengzheng has a faint feeling that something is wrong, so she creeps to the balcony with a glass of water. But as soon as she comes out, he slips the cellphone into the pocket and sits into the hanging basket.
She gives him the glass while asking him suspiciously, “Who called you? Why did you have to answer it on the balcony?”
Han Siqi takes over the glass, takes a sip of water, and then replies slowly, “Tang Feng called me and said goods would arrive tomorrow – it’s stuffy inside. I came out to breathe fresh air.”
“It’s 20°C and comfortable inside. But it’s true that we should ventilate the room to let fresh air in. It’s full of alcohol smell.” Fu Zhengzheng opens the window sulkily because of Han Siqi’s lie.
Han Siqi smiles but says nothing. He swings the hanging basket slowly, closing his eyes and enjoying himself.
Seeing that, Fu Zhengzheng is annoyed. She walks to him, grabs the hanging basket and asks angrily.
“Do you often drink with Tang Feng these days?”
“We see each other to improve the cooperation details instead of drinking.” Han Siqi gathers her into his arms, “If you don’t like that, I will go out less frequently.”
“You said the same words to me the other day.”
“Oh? Really?”
“Yes. But you said that when you were drunk, too. Perhaps, you don’t remember it. Now what you say is not credible.”
Han Siqi kisses her on the face smilingly, “How can you not trust your husband?”
Fu Zhengzheng pushes his face away with disdain, “I always trust you, but you break your words.”
“Silly girl.” Han Siqi may be really dizzy and leans against her softly.
Fu Zhengzheng puts her arms around him with sympathy, but she still can’t help warning him, “It doesn’t matter for you to deal with Tang Feng, but remember he is a member of Brotherhood and works for Xiao Jinchong. You must be wary of him. Be careful not to be made a scapegoat by him.”
“Is your husband so silly?”
“I don’t mean that. I just want to warn you of being cautious anytime in case you will regret if something happens in the future.”
“Actually, Tang Feng is nice. Don’t take him…”
“Don’t always tell me how nice Tang Feng is. I haven’t found his merits.”
“Right. How can I tell my darling how nice another man is? I only can show you my merits.”
“Oh, please. I’ll run a bath for you. Take a bath and then have a good sleep.” Fu Zhengzheng rolls her eyes at him sulkily, “Don’t drink so much again. Not only money is wasted but you don’t feel well.”
She rises and enters the room to run a bath for him. He enters after her.
After Han Siqi goes into the bathroom to bath, Fu Zhengzheng stands at the bathroom door as if deep in thought.
Xiao Jinchong empowers Tang Feng to manage Shengtian Trading Company and promises Tang Feng will become the second in command of Brotherhood so long as he can obtain the business cooperation with Weihan. When she heard the news for the first time, she thought it wouldn’t be so easy. Wu Zhenxing has been in Brotherhood for many years, but he is still far away from the position with many efforts. However, Tang Feng has been a member of Brotherhood for only one year. Such an important position is promised to him on condition that he can win the cooperation with Weihan. It means the cooperation is crucial to Xiao Jinchong.
Brotherhood’s business is always both good and evil, while Weihan only does legal business. She doesn’t believe Xiao Jinchong will change himself in B City.
B city is near the sea and has docks. Weihan is a large tax-payer of this city and boasts a good reputation, so it’s always privileged by the government departments. She thinks Xiao Jinchong probably wants to take advantage of it to make profits.
But she also knows she can’t dissuade Han Siqi from cooperating with Tang Feng, because Han Siqi believes Tang Feng and no problems about Shengtian have been found by the police so far.
If Zhu Ting can slip into the back warehouse of Shengtian Company for a check, she may find something.
But Zhu Ting will be in great danger.
Fu Zhengzheng is both expectant and worried, but she could do nothing to help her even if she were not pregnant. It’s heavily guarded. If she appears there without reason, it will cause others’ suspicion.
With this matter in her mind, she doesn’t sleep sound. After Han Siqi goes to the company the next day, she goes to see Ji Muxian. Tian Xin is about to go out with a thermos. Hearing that she comes to see Ji Muxian, Tian Xin shrugs.
“You come here to see him? I want to report his missing to the police office. It has been 48 hours since I saw him last time.”
“He didn’t come home in the past two days?” Fu Zhengzheng is surprised, but thinking of what Yang Tao said yesterday, she knows the reason.
Having no idea of what happened, Tian Xin nods bitterly, “He said he had urgent work to do in the police office, but I didn’t see the sky collapse. By the way, what do you come to see him for?”
“I want to ask him something about work.” Seeing the thermos held by Tian Xin, Fu Zhengzheng is surprised, “Nothing to eat in the restaurant? Are you going to take food from home?”
“It’s not for me. Mom asked Aunt Chen to cook the soup and said Muxian must have been tired after working for two days consecutively, so she asked me to take it to him to nourish him. Otherwise, I don’t care how long he is away from home. I enjoy myself alone.” Tian Xin says while putting the thermos carefully to the trunk.
Knowing her bark is worse than her bite, Fu Zhengzheng ignores her and sits on the passenger seat.
“I have nothing to do at home and want to go to the police office with you. I have been off for so many days, and I miss my colleagues.”
Tian Xin gets into the car too and starts it while teasing her, “Do you miss Yang Tao because it has been a few days since you saw him last time?”
Fu Zhengzheng rolls her eyes at Tian Xin, “You take the nourishing soup to Muxian in the morning. I’m sure you don’t just want to nourish him. Actually, you want to nourish yourself. Perhaps someone is addicted to something.”
“Bah! Am I so addicted?” Tian Xin flushes.
“You need to ask Muxian. After all, he is the person concerned and is most clear about it. But it’s normal to be addicted to that between a couple. I bet you will spend at least one hour in Muxian’s room before you come out.”
“Fu Zhengzheng! Get out of the car!” Tian Xin switches off the car.
“Well, are you furious because what I say is true?”
“Get out right now.”
“It seems that my guess is right. OK, I’ll get out of the car. I’m going to call Qiubo to drive me to the police office.” Fu Zhengzheng takes out the cellphone while pretending to get out of the car. But then she hears the door locked. Tian Xin starts the car, and Fu Zhengzheng laughs with her hand covering her mouth.
Tian Xin stops the car in the parking lot of the police office and then goes to the quarters with the thermos. Fu Zhengzheng calls Yang Tao and goes to his office directly after ensuring he is in the office.
“Yang Tao, Zhu Ting may creep into the warehouse of Shengtian Company tonight to check the goods, but it’s heavily guarded. I’m worried about her.”
“Oh? In fact, we’re planning to send two guys into it for a check, but we haven’t figured out the best way to creep into it. If Zhu Ting can make it, it will be the best.” Yang Tao thinks and adds, “Well, we’ll cooperate with her.”
“How to cooperate?”
“For example, make a feint to the east but attack in the west. we’ll play to the score tactically.”
“She hasn’t fixed the time. You’ll have to wait there anytime.”
“Of course. It depends on her time.”
Fu Zhengzheng sighs, “It’s a pity that I can’t help.”
“You don’t need to help. We’ll deal with it. All you need to do is maintain calm and take care of yourself and the baby.”
“How can I maintain calm? Now Siqi is too close to Tang Feng and often hangs about with him. I’m very worried.”
“Siqi hangs about with Tang Feng only for the sake of cooperation. Don’t think too much. After all, we haven’t found any problem in their cooperation.”
“It will be late when a problem is found.”
“Siqi is shrewd. Don’t worry. Perhaps the problem has nothing to do with their cooperation.”
While they are talking, He Menghuai enters in a hurry. Seeing Fu Zhengzheng, he feels surprised and then greets her gladly.
“Zhengzheng, how are you recently?”
“Fine.”
“That’s good. Qiubo asks me to go to Splendid Oriental Castle with her to see you every day. As you know, our time…”
“That’s OK. You can tell her to see me by herself.”
Yang Tao interrupts, “In my opinion, Qiubo wants to see you rather than asking you to see Zhengzheng with her.”
He Menghuai gives him a thumbs-up, “Captain Yang, you have become more and more clever since you were together with Xiaoyue. When will you give me a day off?”
Yang Tao picks up a pile of files and throws them to him, “You want a day off? Begin to work now.”
He Menghuai waves at Fu Zhengzheng and goes out with an injured expression.
“Zhengzheng, we have a lot of things to do and can’t talk more with you. Just sit here to wait for Tian Xin.” Then Yang Tao goes out hurriedly, too.
Fu Zhengzheng looks at her watch and finds only half an hour has passed. Then she goes to walk around the parking lot. After walking for one hour, she sees Tian Xin finally.
Tian Xin sees her waiting near the car and runs over quickly.
Fu Zhengzheng looks up and down and teases her while laughing, “You’re done?”
“Bother! What are you talking about?” Tian Xin responds shyly.
“How anxious you are! You even forget to zip your trousers.”
“Ah?!” Tin Xin looks down immediately and reaches out to zip the trousers only to find they are zipped. Then she realizes she is fooled by Fu Zhengzheng, so she curses with flushed cheeks and clenched teeth, “If not for the sake of baby, I would beat you up today!”
“Are you sure you still have the strength?”
“Fu Zhengzheng!” Tian Xin glares.
“OK. OK. Joking is over. Let’s go home.” Fu Zhengzheng gets into the car with a grin.
“We become enemies now. I will revenge myself on you sooner or later.” Tian Xin drives Fu Zhengzheng to the gate of the house, says angrily, and then leaves.
Fu Zhengzheng chokes back her laughter and enters the yard. Suddenly, she finds someone flash past in the closed house…
