Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Qing hugged her precious children and kissed them one by one. Her face was filled with happiness as she thought about how she had to protect her family.
When she thought of this, Xu Qing’s eyes flashed with coldness. She had to be tough.
Xu Sizhi investigated the circumstances of Xu Qing’s arrest for three days before he finally obtained results. There was also news from the police station. It was done by the Ding family, who owned a workshop in town. Because they were jealous of Babe Sunshine’s booming business, they hired some people to threaten the workers in Anning Village and force them to poison the wood. As for the families who were poisoned, they had already been given the antidote and were fine now.
The Ding family had been captured, but Xu Qing was dissatisfied because she knew very well that this was the mastermind’s scheme. The Ding family was just a scapegoat.
Xu Sizhi had also found out some interesting news. Although the Ding family was involved, the person who came up with the plan was the assistant of Qian’an County’s county head, Xu Yunfang’s husband, Lu Changmu. Of course, Lu Changmu alone wasn’t capable enough to come up with all of this alone. The county head of Qian’an County, Zhang Dongxu, must have agreed to this. Zhang Dongxu had ties to the Yin family. It was very likely that the Yin family started it.
Xu Qing understood that now that things had come to this, she would definitely become enemies with the Yin family. However, she thought of Lei Wangshu, who she had become acquianted with… He was the first friend she had met after transmigrating…
After this incident, Xu Qing reflected on herself. She felt that her intelligence network still wasn’t good enough. The information she had wasn’t comprehensive enough, nor was it timely enough. She had to improve it. She thought of the intelligence network she had come into contact with before she transmigrated and discussed it with Xu Sizhi and Kong Mou.
Kong Mou’s eyes lit up when he heard Xu Qing’s suggestion. He was a person who admired capable people. As long as his new boss was capable, he was willing to be loyal to her.
“I heard that you guys used to focus on using the entertainment club to expand your power. How is it going?” Xu Qing recalled that Xun Fen had mentioned the internal affairs of the Dark Night Army before, so she asked directly.
“Back then, the previous boss established the entertainment club to gather information and attract business. However, too many entertainment clubs rose up, and our entertainment club’s business became worse and worse. Now, there are only a few companies in the country that are barely scraping by,” Kong Mou answered truthfully.
Xu Qing lowered her head and thought about it. Entertainment clubs could hold many different activities, such as ainging, dancing, banquets… and even some adult services. No matter what, such a place was the best place to establish an intelligence network. However, she still had to deal with the opening of the hotel, so this matter could only be postponed for the time being.
“Close all the remaining entertainment clubs in the Dark Night Army and reorganize them. As for the specific plan, I’ll propose it after some period of time.” Xu Qing said firmly.
“Yes!” Kong Mou’s eyes lit up. He believed that Xu Qing definitely had a good idea. After all, the construction of the hotel and the shop’s booming business stunned him. He believed that before long, the entire Dark Night Army would return to its peak in the country.
“Sizhi, go to the police station and help me bail someone out. His name is Xie Pengyang.” Xu Qing thought of the man she had met that day. She believed that with him working in her hotel, things would definitely reach a different scale.
“Alright.” Xu Sizhi nodded.
After Xu Qing finished giving her instructions, she prepared to return to Anning Village. However, when she turned around, she realized that Qiao Yanhui had disappeared! Qiao Yanhui’s whereabouts had been unknown these past few days. When Xu Qing checked his pulse, she realized that the clotted blood in his mind had already dispersed. He was probably no longer mentally retarded anymore. However, Qiao Yanhui had never said anything to her, so Xu Qing pretended not to know as she enjoyed her remaining time with him.
Xu Qing looked at the sky and couldn’t help but sigh. She really didn’t know how long Qiao Yanhui could accompany her, nor did she know if he would stay with her until they got married.
Xu Qing didn’t dwell on this issue any further. She asked Xu Sizhi to pay attention to Qiao Yanhui’s whereabouts, and to bring him back if he saw him.
Xu Qing went out and pondered over her situation. She decided to go to the teahouse to watch some shows. At the same time, she thought about what she needed to do recently. First, she wanted to salvage the reputation of her shop. Xu Qing had already thought of a way to do this, and she could start implementing it immediately.
The opening of the hotel had already been handed over to Xu Sizhi to deal with. When Xie Pengyang came out, things would progress even faster. Then, there was also her wedding, which was coming up soon. Her parents had already prepared everything for her, so all they had to do now was wait.
In addition, the village chief had already looked for her yesterday regarding the planting of herbs in Anning Village. He said that the villagers had already agreed and they prepared to hold a meeting. Whoever was willing could join.
Last but not least, Xu Yunfang and Lu Changmu had already arrived at the Xu family’s house. If they dared to scheme against her, she would use the poisonous needle in her hand against them!
