Chapter 1289: Received a Special Call

Fu Jiuxiao was not disappointed by Li Shuwan’s appearance. Instead, he drove Jiang Li back to the resort.

When they went back, the sky was already completely dark.

Half of the resort was bustling, but the other side was quiet as if everyone had fallen into a deep sleep.

Jiang Li received a message from Chen Gu on the way, telling Jiang Li about Li Shuwan’s sentence.

Old Master Fu had helped.

Li Shuwan’s verdict was very clear. She was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment but with probation.

Ridiculous!

Too ridiculous!

Dapeng and Erlong got out of the car first.

Fu Jiuxiao sat quietly, waiting for Jiang Li to reply before returning to her room.

Jiang Li slowly put down her phone and told Fu Jiuxiao about the verdict.

Fu Jiuxiao smiled faintly. He held his forehead in distress and said gloomily, “Old Madam Li is quite capable. She has targeted the Fu family for so many years. As long as she gets the chance, she will never let us go. However, every time, Old Master Fu will choose to let her go.”

It was the same every time. It was really a headache.

......

Jiang Li could feel the annoyance in Fu Jiuxiao’s heart, but she also knew that if there was a next time, Old Master Fu would definitely come forward again.

She felt that it was necessary to have a good talk with Old Master Fu.

Next time, the person that Old Madam Li might want to harm was no longer a particular person from the Fu family, but everyone.

Jiang Li’s thoughts drifted a little far away, and her shoulders suddenly sank. She hurriedly supported Fu Jiuxiao who was leaning over.

Fu Jiuxiao closed his eyes and said, “Am I heavy? I want to rest for a while.”

“Okay, I’ll stay with you.” Jiang Li deliberately made her tone sound lighter, or she could make Fu Jiuxiao more relaxed.

Fu Jiuxiao gave a simple ‘mmhm’, and after grabbing Jiang Li’s wrist, he completely relaxed.

“You don’t have to go to the old master. He has made up his mind many times, but in the end, he still chose to let go. He is no longer the decisive leader of the Fu family.”

Jiang Li understood what Fu Jiuxiao meant.

Old Master Fu was old, and he always had a soft-hearted attitude toward his old acquaintances.

As long as he could survive, he would not be ruthless.

Unless something happened to Fu Jiuxiao.

How could Jiang Li allow Fu Jiuxiao to be in danger just to ask Old Master Fu not to help the Li family anymore?

She frowned and quietly stayed with Fu Jiuxiao while thinking about what to do.

They could swallow up the Li family bit by bit and make it impossible for the Li family to gain a foothold in Sea City. Even if they wanted to harm others, they would not have the ability to do so.

Or...

Jiang Li looked at the lights outside the car. While she was distracted, Fu Jiuxiao had already sat up.

She suddenly came back to her senses and told Fu Jiuxiao her thoughts.

“Okay, I’ll do as you say.” Fu Jiuxiao stroked Jiang Li’s shoulder, and his gentleness revealed tiredness that was hard to detect.

Jiang Li knew Fu Jiuxiao too well, and she could guess that Fu Jiuxiao was trying to cheer her up so that she would not worry.

She turned around and leaned into Fu Jiuxiao’s arms. She hugged his waist and said, “Xiao, so what if she’s let out? If they really have the ability, they can collude with the Black Crow Organization.”

If they did not have the ability, they could just wait to be taught a lesson by Fu Jiuxiao.

Fu Jiuxiao’s eyes dimmed, and there was a trace of coldness at the corner of his mouth. He lowered his head and kissed Jiang Li’s hair. He gently pressed down the words that he was about to say.

This was just his guess. Without any evidence, there was no need to say it.

It was not that Fu Jiuxiao did not believe Jiang Li, but that Fu Zhongtian and Li Shuwan did not deserve to make them spend too much effort.

When they returned to their room, Fu Jiuxiao went to the bathroom first.

Jiang Li stood in front of the window, hesitating to contact the butler of the Fu family. She wanted to know how Old Master Fu treated Fu Zhongtian and Li Shuwan.

Would Old Master Fu really let Li Shuwan go because of the reputation of the two families?

Before she dialed the butler’s number, she received a message from Spade A first.

Jiang Li was stunned at first, thinking that Spade A had found clues to Fu Yusheng, so she immediately picked up.

Spade A’s environment was very noisy, and his breathing came in waves as if he had just rested after a hard run.

“Are you in danger?” Jiang Li asked calmly.

She was very nervous, and her tone was too harsh. Spade A was in a chaotic environment, so he did not notice her attitude.

Spade A lowered his voice and said, “We can provide funds.”

What funds?

Jiang Li was confused for a moment. She frowned and pretended not to understand. “Spade A, I don’t understand what you mean. Shouldn’t you go to a safer place first? Then we can reconnect.”

When she was talking to Spade A, Fu Jiuxiao walked out of the bathroom.

Fu Jiuxiao hugged Jiang Li’s waist from behind and rested his chin on Jiang Li’s shoulder.

With his action, not only could he get close to Jiang Li, but he could also hear the voice on the other end of the phone.

Jiang Li had no intention of hiding it from Fu Jiuxiao. With Fu Jiuxiao’s actions, she did not need to repeat it to him ahain.

After the sound of the metal barrel rolling came from the other side of Spade A, it gradually quieted down.

His tone also became calm, as if he had escaped to a safe place and was temporarily relieved.

The request he made to Jiang Li was very unfriendly. “I have already investigated the special hospital that you took me to. It has the support of the Eagle Organization, and I also know that the Eagle Organization has developed the antidote.”
