Chapter 123: 32. Arrested (Torturing Fang Yuan)

After a period of recuperation in traditional Chinese medicine, her monthly good friend finally returned!

Looking at the pool of purplish-red blood, He Yi knew that there was a problem with her physical condition and that she had to take care of it.

Her original physical condition was not bad, but because she had been in prison for five years, her body was overdrawn due to lack of care, causing problems with her health.

At first, she did not take it seriously, because the wedding made her busy for some time, and coupled with the honeymoon trip, she had some symptoms.

Yi Liangze was far more anxious than He Yi. He asked doctor Zhang, “What’s wrong with her? I see that her complexion has not been too good recently! No wonder she can’t get pregnant!”

“…” He Yi’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. So he was still arguing about this matter?

Doctor Zhang pondered for a long time before he said, “Young Madam’s body may have been lacking in care for a long time, and she was also tired from her work, resulting in a deficit! Fortunately, she’s still young, so it’s still not too late to remedy the situation!”

When Yi Liangze heard this, cold sweat almost dripped down. “It’s so serious!”

He knew that Doctor Zhang never bluffed. The elders of the Yi family were all longevity stars who were good at maintaining their health. The highly valued family doctors were naturally experts who were proficient in traditional Chinese medicine. They were very thorough in analyzing medical theories.

He Yi was silent for a moment. She looked at doctor Zhang and asked, “How can we make up for the deficit?”

…

More and more, she realized that without her health, the rest was just floating clouds. If she did not have enough years to live, she could not see the children grow up with her own eyes… when she thought of this, she felt a chill down her spine. Her competitive spirit was also greatly frustrated.

“It’s very simple. You have to learn how to preserve your health and learn how to recuperate your body.” Doctor Zhang earnestly observed. “As a woman, your physique is initially weaker than that of a man. In addition to the postpartum disorder, you have been unable to take care of your body for many years, causing your body to be severely depleted. Right now, you may be putting in even more effort, causing both your qi and blood to be depleted. As a result, your period is delayed. This is already a warning from your body. You can no longer forcefully hold on!”

He Yi listened quietly and said nothing.

Yi Liangze frowned and said, “You mean to say that she should quit all her jobs and go home to recuperate?”

Wasn’t that the old days of grandfather Yi and Old Lady Yi? Could it be that… He Yi was so young that she had to stay away from the world to recuperate? Although he did not approve of He Yi being too busy with her career, he still felt sorry for her when he thought about how she had to choose to live a happy life at such a young age.

“That’s not necessary!” Doctor Zhang waved his hand, “Young Madam is young after all. Being young is capital. It’s still not too late to recuperate from now on, but there’s no need to say that she should quit her job and recuperate at home. As long as you pay attention to the combination of work and rest. With proper rest and exercise, coupled with the recuperation in terms of diet, a few years will be able to make up for it!”

Yi Liangze heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that there wasn’t much of a problem. “Then let’s tailor a recuperation plan for her and make her pay attention to the combination of work and rest! If you say that, she’s willing to listen, she won’t listen no matter how much I advise her!” He Yi felt a little wronged at the end of his sentence.

He Yi could not help but laugh. This fellow never forgot to complain about his wrongs, as if she was bullying him.

Doctor Zhang was also amused. “Young Master’s heart aches for young Madam. How could she not appreciate your kindness? It’s just that she doesn’t say it out loud!”

After about half an hour, a handwritten list of food, work, and rest was completed. It was first put in Yi Liangze’s hands. After he looked at it, he handed it over to He Yi.

He Yi saw Yi Liangze nod his head in satisfaction and knew that this list should be very acceptable. She took it and looked at it carefully. She also felt that it was very reasonable and could not help but nod her head in admiration.

Three different meals a day were recommended. They all had ingredients that could nourish qi and nourish the blood. The drinks and snacks that were paired with them were also very particular. For a week in a row, the changes were created, and the meals were different. Doctor Zhang requested that her food must be taken care of by a special person. She was only allowed to attend a social gathering once a week, and she was not allowed to eat recklessly.

All the items that were harmful to her body were listed to prevent He Yi from accidentally eating them during the social gathering.

In addition, there was a strict schedule. She was allowed to go to bed early and wake up early. She was not allowed to stay up late more than eleven o’clock every night. She was also not allowed to take a nap for less than half an hour. Similarly, she was not allowed to stay up late more than once a week.

Regarding exercise and workouts, He Yi had to receive professional fitness guidance and slowly strengthen her physique through exercise. The daily exercise time could be gradually increased from half an hour in the beginning to an hour. After a month, it would be increased to two hours and then this frequency was maintained forever.

No wonder Yi Liangze nodded repeatedly. This plan to strengthen her physique was indeed perfect. After He Yi finished reading it, she thanked doctor Zhang. “Thank you, Doctor Zhang. You’re very thoughtful!”

Doctor Zhang chuckled and said, “It’s very easy for me to formulate this health care plan. It only takes half an hour, but it’s not easy for you to implement it! The key is still to rely on yourself!”

That’s right! Many people were clear about the ways of health care, but they lacked the self-discipline to implement it. How many women would stay up late while putting on face masks, eating big fish, drinking red wine, and eating goji berries at the same time?

Would such a regimen work? There was no doubt about the answer.

*

After doctor Zhang left, Yi Liangze said to her, “I’ll open a health club for you!”

“No need!” He Yi immediately opposed it. After saying that, she realized that his expression was not too good, and she quickly reflected on whether her rejection had hurt his heart. Indeed, many times, she was too intense and independent, so much so that she wasted many opportunities for him to take care of her. She smiled a little embarrassedly, like a child who had done something wrong, and said, “I’m not rejecting your idea, but… My father once left me a fitness club. It’s a waste to keep it empty. Why not reopen it?”

It was another private property left to her by He Hanlin in addition to the VIP building and Fu Xing Leather Factory.

The VIP building had been rented out, and Fu Xing Leather Factory had been set up. Only the fitness club had been left vacant.

He Yi was reluctant to rent it out if she didn’t need money because it was left to her by her father. She didn’t want to give it to others to transform it beyond recognition, but she had put it on hold because she had limited energy and couldn’t run it.

It seemed to be time to revive it.

“Well, that’s good too.” Yi Liangze said as he heard about the fitness club her father left behind, so he didn’t say anything more. “But it’s not easy to rebuild a place that’s been vacant for so long. I’ll send a consultant to help you study the business plan some other day!”

“Okay!” This time, He Yi accepted his help readily and suggested, “Also, help me resign from the CEO position of Rong Yi! I’m… afraid I can’t do it!”

*

Although He Yi had always hoped that she could be the new CEO of Rong Yi, after all, it was birthed by the He Corporation founded by her father, He Hanlin. She had wanted to expand the family business.

However, it was not easy to develop Rong Yi. The difficulty was not something she could afford. In the end, she took a step back and bought a stake in Rong Yi in Kai Kun. From a sole-proprietorship company, it became a subsidiary company of Kai Kun. This way, the pressure on her lessened a lot.

Doctor Zhang’s words made He Yi more determined. Some money could not be earned, some worries could not be done, and some energy could not be expended!

Fu Xing’s development had exhausted most of her energy and time. In addition to taking care of her family and children, she was indeed unable to be in two places at once.

Under such circumstances, she probably did not have the energy to become the CEO of Rong Yi. Biting off more than she could chew was referring to her current situation.

Yi Liangze looked very happy and gave her a few symbolic compliments. “Not bad, your mind is getting brighter and clearer!”

He Yi did not think that he was complimenting her, but more like he was insulting her. She glared at him and snorted. “What do you mean?”

“I’m complimenting you!” Yi Liangze planted a tender kiss on her cheek and advised, “Finally, pay attention to rest and don’t overwork anymore!”

He Yi smiled sweetly and said, “I’m fine! I can handle the current workload, as long as I don’t increase it!”

“I’ll send someone to help you at the fitness club!” Yi Liangze was still worried, afraid that she would be tired. “Wait until everything is settled, then you can go over!”

He Yi Thought for a moment and said happily, “Okay!”

At this moment, Yi Liangze’s phone rang. He saw that it was Qin Weixian calling, and his eyes flashed as he quickly picked up. “Hello… I’ve already locked onto his whereabouts! Very good! I must catch him before Chu Piaoyun does! I want him alive!”

*

“What a bunch of idiots. they can’t even find a single person!”

Chu Piaoyun was about to go crazy. She knew very well how serious the consequences of this matter were. Thus, she searched for the driver who had escaped at all costs.

Fang Yuan had never seen her mother lose her composure like this, and she also realized how serious the matter was. “I didn’t contact the driver directly…”

“Nonsense!” Due to her impatience, Chu Piaoyun’s temper was a little harsh. She reprimanded sternly, “If that driver falls into Yi Liangze’s hands, he would have a way to find out!”

Seeing how serious the matter was, Chu Chu could not help panicking. “Aunt, if Fang Yuan is dragged into this, she… she will be fine, right”

“What do you think?” Chu Piaoyun snapped.

Fang Yuan and Chu Chu looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment. After a long while.., Fang Yuan snorted. “I’ve already gotten someone to tell that driver that if he were to be caught, he would bite the bullet and bear all the responsibility. His family will be properly taken care of by me, and I will give his child a huge amount of compensation! If he dares to reveal it, I’ll get someone to throw his son into the sea to feed the fish!”

The driver who caused the accident was a drunkard. He usually beat and scolded his wife. After his wife got divorced, she threw the child at him and disappeared without a trace. The driver threw the child to his elderly parents to take care of. However, blood was thicker than water. In the end, he still cared about the child and wanted to get a large sum of money for the child’s education fund.

“It won’t work! If he falls into Yi Liangze’s hands, he will have plenty of ways to make him talk!” Chu Piaoyun became even more frustrated and said unhappily, “Do you think that you are the only one with money? Yi Liangze has given out more money than you!”

Fang Yuan opened her mouth but was unable to refute.

“I shouldn’t have left this matter to you!” Chu Piaoyun was filled with regret. “I always felt that you were slightly stronger than your big brother, but in the end, you still inherited your father’s legacy and could not bear the heavy responsibility!”

These words were said with extreme seriousness, and Fang Yuan started crying in grievance. Chu Chu tried to assure her while reminding Chu Piaoyun, “Aunt, it’s useless to blame Fang Yuan now. Why don’t we quickly think of a way to get rid of that chauffeur so that there won’t be any trouble in the future?”

Chu Piaoyun nodded and looked at Chu Chu with admiration, she sighed and said, “In the end, you are a member of the Chu family. Your brain is always the clearest! Sigh, back then, I saw that your big brother was not bad and wanted to nurture him well… who knew that he would still disappoint me!”

At the mention of Chu Tianyi, who had disappointed Chu Piaoyun, Chu Chu was filled with grievance and unwillingness. “It’s all He Yi’s fault! If it wasn’t for her, big brother wouldn’t have fallen into this position! I want to kill her!”

*

To catch the driver, Yi Liangze mobilized all the connections and forces of the security groups to search for this person.

The driver was like a rat crossing the street in a panic. Not only did he have to avoid Yi Liangze’s secret search, but he also had to avoid the assassins sent by his employer.

Just now, when he went out to buy wontons, he was almost shot in the head. After escaping with his life, he returned to the rental house, closed the door, and panted like a dog.

He knew that the person who was chasing him was sent by his employer (to silence him), and another person who was chasing him was sent by the Yi family (to clear He Yi of suspicion). In short, he was like a mouse in a bellows. He had no choice but to run and hide desperately.

However, the driver soon discovered that this rented house was no longer a haven for asylum!

At some point, several strong tall men sat on the broken sofa in his rented house and were looking at him with sinister and complacent eyes as if they were looking at their prey!

As if he had been stung by something, the driver jumped up and instinctively turned around, wanting to open the door and escape.

However, those who had been waiting for the opportunity would not allow him the chance to escape. Before he could open the door again, all the strong men rushed forward and pressed him firmly against the door.

Soon, the driver’s aggressiveness and resistance were broken. His limbs were firmly restrained, and he only had the strength to breathe!

“Behave yourself! If you dare to think of any tricks, I’ll break your claws one by one!” A strong ugly man with a black and distinct face slapped the driver’s face and warned coldly.

The driver looked at the man’s appearance and blurted out a name, “You’re the big brother, Black Qilin!”

Qi Lin had a famous name on the streets, Black Qilin! His name was Qi Lin, which was the same as Qilin. He was dark and ugly, hence he received the title of Black Qilin.

Later, although Qi Lin retired and worked under Yi Liangze, if people in the underworld heard his name, they would keep quiet. This meant that although Qi Lin was not in the underworld anymore, his influence was still there.

“You have good taste!” Another person who was addressed as “Brother five (Brother Wu)” and nicknamed “Little Five (Xiao Wu)” patted the driver’s face, and sneered, “I didn’t know that you were in the underworld! Since you know brother Qilin’s identity, you should tell him plainly what he wants to know and not suffer too much!”

The driver lowered his head and did not say anything.

Xiao Wu and Qi Lin looked at each other and knew that they had encountered a thorny problem. As the saying goes, one doesn’t fear a dragon, but a tiger fears a dead sheep. If the driver acted like a dead pig that wasn’t afraid of boiling water, they really wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.

“Kid, it looks like you’re going to do it the hard way!” Little Five made a prompt decision and gave him a bit of suffering. “Beat him up!Beat him until he speaks!”

*

After receiving the news, Yi Liangze immediately ordered the driver to be sent to an abandoned warehouse and interrogated carefully. However, Qi Lin and Xiao Wu personally watched and beat the driver up many times. Even though he was beaten until his nose and mouth were bleeding, he still refused to speak.

When Yi Liangze heard this, he pondered for a moment and made a decision. “I’ll personally interrogate him!”

“I’ll go too!” He Yi requested.

Yi Liangze looked at her and nodded. “Alright, let’s go and take a look!”

*

The driver was beaten until his face was swollen and his mouth and nose were bleeding, but he did not say anything. He just lay there like a dead pig, as if he could only breathe out but not in.

Yi Liangze was furious when he saw this. He immediately ordered, “Peel off this kid’s skin inch by inch and bathe him with thick salt water. Let’s see if he can still pretend to be dead!”

When the driver heard this, he was scared out of his wits. He quickly turned around and got up, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy. “Please spare me! I don’t know anything! I drank too much that day…”

“This nonsense again?” Yi Liangze was angry. He ordered, “Go and give him a taste of something powerful!”

Just as Qi Lin and little five were about to teach the driver a lesson, He Yi stopped them, “Wait!”

Everyone turned to He Yi. She looked indifferent as if she didn’t care about what was happening in front of her. She slowly walked to the driver and squatted down to look at his terrified eyes, and said slowly, “You’re taking everything on yourself. Do you think that your employer can treat your son and your parents well?”

The driver was shocked. He realized that the other party had already investigated his background thoroughly. This was undoubtedly his weak spot, and his entire body went limp again. “Don’t hurt my son, he’s just a child… my parents are old and weak, don’t hurt them too!”

“I didn’t know that you were so filial and loving. Since you care about your son and parents, you shouldn’t ignore them anymore!” He Yi sneered “Do you think you can get what you want if you bite your tongue till death? They have already sent assassins to take your life. Haven’t you awakened yet?”

“I… I. . .” The driver was a little flustered because he didn’t expect to fall into such a situation where everyone wanted to kill him. He originally thought that he could live a good life after getting a large sum of money. He had always thought that his employer had promised him that as long as he could keep his mouth shut for three years and not reveal his true impressions, he would receive hush money of up to a million dollars.

For the sake of this money, he had endured until now. Even though he was almost shot in the head by the assassin sent by his employer, he did not reveal his true opinions. In addition, the employer threatened him that if he dared to speak recklessly, she would throw his son into the sea to feed the fish.

“It’s useless! If you die, they won’t keep their promise at all! Even your parents and children will be implicated!” He Yi looked at him coldly, and asked sharply, “If you were shot in the head by them in front of the wonton stall today, would you still be able to ask for the huge reward they promised you?”

The driver was speechless by her question and had no idea what to do for a moment.

He Yi saw that he was going to relent and struck while the iron was hot. “People die for money and birds die for food. It’s just a money transaction between you and your employer. Are you going to throw your life away? I’ll give you a million yuan and I can transfer it into your account right now! You just need to tell me the truth and I’ll hire a lawyer for you to keep you alive. In addition, your parents and child will also be taken care of. We won’t let anyone hurt them, what do you think?”

The driver was agitated. “Really… Really?”

Xiao Wu and Qi Lin looked at each other. It seemed that the two of them had spent a lot of effort, but it was not as effective as the one million yuan!

Yi Liangze curled his lips slightly, extremely satisfied with her actions. The driver was being hunted down by his employer, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to confess. This meant that his employer must have promised him some benefits. He Yi accurately grasped the crux of the driver’s greed and decisively struck to get rid of the problem.

Sure enough, the driver received a text message informing him that his account had been deposited with one million yuan. He couldn’t care less about anything else.

“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you everything!” He wasn’t stupid. Of course, he knew that the money that had been deposited into the account was much more reliable than the three-year agreement that the employer had promised. At the very least, he did not have to worry about his parents and child being unsupported because he was in prison! Even if he was in prison, the money was his private property and could still be transferred to his relatives. “But you have to promise me… you have to compensate the deceased for me! And… send my son and my parents to another place. I’m afraid that they will be avenged!”

He Yi did not hesitate. “That’s not a problem! Just admit your guilt and cooperate with the police to find the real murderer. As for the other problems, I’ll help you solve them!”

*

After learning that the driver who caused the accident had been arrested, Chu Piaoyun had a strong premonition that the situation was not good. She ordered Fang Yuan to quickly leave the country to hide from the limelight.

Fang Yuan left in a hurry. She did not even have time to pack her luggage. She only carried a gentleman’s bag and left. After receiving the call, she went straight to the airport. Someone had already booked her ticket there.

Just as Fang Yuan was about to board the plane with her ticket and passport, a police officer suddenly appeared and blocked her way.

Fang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, but she still pretended to be calm. “What are you doing? I didn’t break any laws. Please move aside, don’t delay my boarding!”

“You must be Miss Fang Yuan!” The police asked after repeatedly comparing Fang Yuan’s appearance with the one on her identification card.

“Yes… So what!” Fang Yuan was a little flustered, but she still persuaded herself that nothing would happen to her. “I’m about to board the plane. Please move aside!”

“I’m sorry, you’re suspected of a traffic accident and are the most important suspect! You’re under arrest. Please cooperate with our work!” As he said that, the police officer waved his hand, and a police officer came forward to put on the handcuffs on Fang Yuan.

When the ice-cold handcuffs were put on her wrist, Fang Yuan was instantly dumbfounded. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that she would be wearing something like this. “Let go of me quickly! I didn’t break the law, you’re mistaken!”

Fang Yuan displayed the domineering attitude of a rich young lady that she usually had, hoping to struggle. However, how could she be a match for the police? Regardless of whether she was willing or not, she was escorted into the police car and returned to the police station from the airport.
