Chapter 1023
But people are so busy, they just don’t see the money coming back.
Mrs. Chen and Uncle Chen, too, didn’t think much of it.
Just think of it as the kid growing up and having his own little mind, and they don’t object if he wants to save some money for himself.
So, it’s surprisingly not much of a question about his finances these past two years.
Some time ago, Zhou Lizhen listened to her friends and cast several big-budget films in one go.
Unexpectedly, the film suffered a series of flops, and in the end, let alone making money, it didn’t even get its money back.
His company was already short-lived, so where could he afford to go through this?
He was tens of millions of dollars in debt all at once, and in order to save face in front of his family, lest they find out about his financial situation, he also insisted on not borrowing money from the bank, all looking for private loan sharks.
Interest rates for loan sharks are naturally high.
At first, Zhou Lizhen was able to bite the bullet and pay it back, but when he got to the back, the profits were higher and higher, and he gradually couldn’t pay it back.
By this time, the friend who had introduced him to the movie and the loan he was taking out reveals their true colors.
They kept forcing him to pay his debts, threatening to make a mess of him if he didn’t.
When did Zhou Lizhen experience something like this?All at once, I panicked.
He tried to explain to the others a hundred times, but they were obviously prepared, so where would they listen to him?
In the end, not only did they take all of his belongings, but they even took his girlfriend.
Claiming that if he doesn’t come up with the money soon, they’re going to make him regret it for the rest of his life.
Zhou Lizhen and his girlfriend, who had been dating for three years, had been in a deep relationship since school.
Knowing that his girlfriend, Xue’er, was in their possession, Zhou Lizhen panicked all of a sudden, but he couldn’t get so much money out at once.
Originally, he was thinking that if he couldn’t do it, he would ask his aunt for their help.
But just then, the other side made a condition.
They said that if he could steal the piece of jade from his aunt’s hand and give it to them, they would let him off the hook for a while.
That jade pendant, Zhou Lizhen has seen it before, self-conscious that it’s not too rare of a contraption, looking at the colour, take it out to sell, at most several hundred thousand.
So he agreed without even thinking about it.
Today, he had originally wanted to take the jade out quietly while Uncle Chen was at the banquet, but he hadn’t expected to be caught before he was able to make a deal.
Thinking of this, Zhou Lizhen was a little dejected.
After hearing this, Uncle and Mrs. Chen were furious.
“Why didn’t you tell home when something so big happened?How well can you handle that yourself?”
Zhou Lizhen hung her head, not speaking.
Mrs. Chen asked, “Did you give that to someone?”
“Not yet.”
“Where’s that thing?”
This time, Zhou Lizhen stopped talking.
Obviously, he doesn’t want to put anything out there right now.
When Uncle Chen saw this, he was about to get angry, but was stopped by Biden Lu.
Biden Lu looked at him and said, “You can’t be naive enough to think that you’ll be able to bring things out again after you enter here today.”
Zhou Lizhen shuddered slightly at the news, her fingers subconsciously squeezing her trouser pockets.
Then, looking up at Biden Lu, he looked miserable, “But Xue’er is still in their hands, I can’t let anything happen to Xue’er.”
The Chen couple’s faces became even uglier at the news.
“Even if she’s in trouble, don’t take this out!Besides, how did you know you had anything to do with her kidnapping?Maybe she had offended someone herself?That girl is not an honest person, so don’t be foolish enough to be fooled by her.”
Mrs. Chen also said in a soft voice, “If you really can’t, you can think of another way to save her.”
Jenny was very keen to see that they didn’t seem to like the girl called Xue’er very much.
But those things are out of her hands.
She just said in a deep voice, “Young Master Zhou, if you’re willing to give us your stuff, how about we help you get your girlfriend out?”
Zhou Lizhen looked at her suspiciously.
“How are you going to save it?”
“Don’t worry about that, we naturally have our ways, you just give us the stuff.”
“No.”Zhou Lizhen immediately became alert and stared at them fiercely.
“What if I give you guys something and you don’t help me save someone?”
When the Chen couple saw this attitude of his, they were furious.
“What are you babbling about?Would they lie to you?Who are you to talk to people like that.”
Zhou Lizhen was instantly shocked.
At this time, Kepler stepped forward.
“Lizhen, you don’t believe them, trust me?”
Zhou Lizhen looked at him.
He did know Kepler, after all, when he had just started a film company over here before, he had encountered a little trouble and it was Kepler who helped him out.
So he hesitated and nodded.
“If you believe me, then you’ll bring the stuff out, you can suspect people will lie to you, I’m not going to lie to you.”
I have to say, when Kepler said that, Zhou Lizhen really believed a few of him.
He looked at Kepler with some uncertainty and tried to ask, “You promise?”
“I promise.”
“That’s…okay.”
He clenched his fingers, half-heartedly, before pulling the jade pendant out of his pocket.
Kepler took it and handed the jade pendant to Gu Si Qian.
Gu Si Qian was busy looking at it, and sure enough, it really was a heavenly book of jade.
He nodded towards Kepler, who then let his men out and sat back down on the couch next to him.
Long legs folded over each other and looked up at Zhou Lizhen.
“Now you can tell us what the group of people who pressed you for the debt were like, who they were, and how they kidnapped your girlfriend, one by one.”
In the next few moments, Zhou Lizhen described to him the identities of those people and the location where they had negotiated the deal.
After Kepler heard this, he immediately called and ordered someone to do it.
In their eyes, it wasn’t a big deal, and it didn’t even require him to do it himself.
It was only because the people hadn’t been rescued yet that they were inconvenienced to leave so as not to make Zhou Lizhen doubt their words, so they sat here together and waited.
Kepler’s men quickly checked out the other party’s whereabouts.
They were instructed to save people and nothing else, so they also really didn’t care who those people were.
Zhou Lizhen originally had some doubts about him.
But it wasn’t until his own phone rang and he personally heard Xue’er’s familiar voice from across the street that he believed that Kepler hadn’t lied to him and that he had really rescued the person.
Zhou Lizhen was so excited that he stood up as he asked the other side about the situation.
The Chen couple, however, did not look too good.
Chapter 1024
Apparently, they have a very strong opinion of this nephew-in-law.
But either way, it’s ultimately a good thing that people are rescued.
Biden Lu and the others had no intention of lingering any longer, and after thanking Uncle Chen Shi Bo, they left with the Heavenly Book of Jade.
After all this trouble, it was already past midnight when we returned to the Jin family’s old house.
Bella Qiao and Gu Si Qian originally didn’t need to go over, but thinking that they were coming over today, they were here to celebrate their birthday after all.
In the end, they left before the birthday party, which was a bit rude.
No matter what, you have to go over and say hello.
And so they followed along to the old residence of the Jin family.
At this time, Mrs. Ken was still awake.
If it had been a normal day, she would have been resting.
But for one thing, there were too many guests today, and I’m sorry that Jin Qingshan and the others had already blocked a lot of things for her outside, but many of them still wanted her to meet them personally.
Secondly, she was worried and couldn’t sleep when she learned that some of the juniors had gone out and never returned, and she didn’t know what it was about.
Simply wait in the living room.
Old Mrs. Cen hadn’t thought anything of it, but seeing her so worried made her a little embarrassed.
When he called and asked where Biden Lu was, Biden Lu was inconvenienced to say too much and only said that he had just gone to do some work.
Old Mrs. Sham then scolded him.
Biden Lu hadn’t been scolded by his grandmother for a long time and wasn’t angry, laughing on the phone and saying he’d be right back before hanging up.
When I walked into the hall, I saw that the hall was brightly lit, a few old ladies and gentlemen were sitting there waiting for them, and the servants were standing beside them, it was almost like a three division trial.
Several people burst out laughing.
Kepler Nina Hua as well as Biden Lu and Jenny Jing walked over first.
First, I greeted the elders and explained the reason for going out tonight.
Of course, they would never tell the secret of the Heavenly Book of Jade.
Just say that something happened to Zhou Lizhen’s girlfriend and they went over to help out.
Zhou Lizhen is also related to the Jin family because of Mrs. Chen’s relationship, and Mrs. Jin is acquainted with her.
After hearing them speak, it was not without some surprise.
“How did this happen?So they’re okay now?”
Kepler said in a soft voice, “It’s fine, the person has been sent back.”
“That’s good.”The old lady got angry with hindsight, her face sank, and she said angrily, “Dare to fight on our territory, simply tired of living, Kepler, you must pursue this matter to the end, you can’t just let that group of people off so easily.”
Kepler nodded.
When Jin Qingshan saw the situation, that’s when he came out and said, “Mom, it’s getting late, you’re all tired, so why don’t you go back to your room and rest first.”
Biden Lu also said, “Grandmother, I’ll walk you and grandfather back to your room.”
The old ladies nodded, and so this session of the trial came to an end.
Bella Qiao and Gu Si Qian saw the situation and also congratulated the old lady on her birthday before leaving.
The next day, the two of them would be returning to Forest City.
Biden Lu thought about the news he had received earlier, so he took Jenny Jing to find them and told them the news he had received along with it.
The Yunnan side was not Biden Lu’s sphere of influence, he was just the person sent out under his hands to get some information, so he couldn’t help too much with this matter, so he didn’t follow them along.
Biden Lu gave them the contact details of his informants there, so Gu Si Qian took Bella Qiao and diverted directly to Yunnan.
On the other hand, Old Mrs. Sham also wanted to accompany Old Mrs. Jin for a few more days, the two old people, it was rare to see each other once, who might not see each other again when they parted.
Therefore, all are very reluctant.
The old man’s health was stable, after all, they had doctors with them, and the Jin family also had a good medical team on their side.
When Biden Lu saw this, he didn’t stop them anymore and let them play here in peace, while he went with Jenny Jing to the desert to find Mo Cai Wei and Que Sui.
Naturally, Ann and Little Competeze were to be brought along.
After all, Jenny Jing still wanted Mo Caiwei to meet her two grandsons.
They were leaving on the same day, and Mo Caiwei had already sent her her address before.
Jenny Jing had called Mo Caiwei beforehand, and Mo Caiwei was happy to know that she was coming over.
She used to be very reluctant to meet outsiders, and she didn’t want to meet her two children, but perhaps after that last time, she was less reluctant now.
Although there was still some confusion and uncertainty, the emotion was more akin to a sense of nearness than dislike.
The plane that Jenny and the others were on arrived at the airport at four o’clock that afternoon.
Over here is a city called Ima, which translates to Chinese as immortality.
Because of its desert location and only a very small oasis, the population on this side is small, and most of the people who live here are dark-skinned foreigners.
By the time Jenny and the others arrived, the car Quexu had sent to pick them up was already waiting at the airport.
As soon as I saw them, I immediately greeted them very fluently in Chinese.
Jenny Jing and Biden Lu walked over with their two children.
The other smiled and introduced himself, “Hello, my name is Klimo, our boss asked me to pick you up, please follow me to the car.”
Ann and Little Competeze, both curious about each other’s outfits as well as their skin.
They’ve seen a lot since they were kids, but in the end they’re still kids, and it’s the first time they’ve really been to a place like this.
The place is very different from home, both in terms of the customs and the looks of the people.
So the two kids were like seeing a new world, curious about everywhere.
Krimu was a very talkative man, though he didn’t know that they were related to Quexu and Mo Caiwei.
But that doesn’t stop him from being enthusiastic.
Along the way, they were all happy to tell them about this side of the country and some of the scenic locations they passed through.
The desert is full of yellow sand, although it is November, the country is to wear down jackets, but this side of the sun is still blazing, shining on the body, just feel like to bake.
Jenny was afraid that the two children would suffer from heatstroke and prepared ice water for them very early on.
But the two kids were clearly much tougher than she thought, and not only were they not afraid of the heat at all, but they kept hovering over the car window trying to look outside.
It made Jenny laugh and cry.
Biden Lu had a hard time hugging Ann back and said, “You want to see it tomorrow I’ll take you out to see it, there’s no protection at all right now, be careful of the sun outside sunburning off a layer of your skin.”
Ann is a big boy now and knows how to love beauty.
When I heard that I was going to get a tan and peel my skin, I spat out my tongue and immediately pulled my head back.
The car was well balanced on the road.
Chapter 1025
All around was a desolate desert landscape.
There was yellow everywhere, very little green was seen, and even if there was occasionally, it was only in bits and pieces, the kind that you couldn’t even notice without looking closely.
Jenny sighed in her heart, so this was the kind of place her mother had lived in all these years.
It wasn’t that she didn’t think it was a bad place, but she understood in her heart that her mother had grown up as the eldest daughter of the Mo family, when hadn’t she been golden and noble?
Rao later married Kevin Jing, who had second thoughts, but didn’t dare to really slow her down.
At least in life, she’s never had to suffer much.
But in a desert like this, even if you have money, there are some resources that you can’t get in time.
It must have been hard for my mother to get used to this place, the first few years of her life.
Thinking of it this way, she was not a bit down.
Biden Lu seemed to see what she was thinking, raised his hand to hold hers and whispered, “Don’t think nonsense, eh?”
Jenny turned his eyes to look at him, halfway through, and nodded.
After a long time, the two children were about tired of playing and arguing, they just felt new at first, then they saw the car kept moving forward, but there was nothing but desert or loess outside the car window.
The interest was lost all at once too, and with the summer heat coming on, it was not a little drowsy to sit in the car.
Biden Lu sat them down next to him, holding one while letting them sleep in his arms.
Jenny was also a little uncomfortable.
She was, after all, a pregnant woman, and Rao had been conditioned all these years to have a good health base, but she couldn’t withstand such a long and bumpy journey.
So, about half an hour later, her face began to change.
Biden Lu had actually been secretly observing her, seeing that her face was faintly beginning to turn white, and worriedly said, “Jenny, how are you?Is it somewhere uncomfortable?”
Jenny shook his head.
“Nothing, just a little sick.”
Ahead, Klimo heard her, and from a small refrigerator next to his own, he took out a bottle of chilled water and handed it back to her with a friendly smile, “You’re probably suffering from heat stroke, it’s fine, just drink some ice water, that’s what happens to people who have just come from outside in the desert, you’ll get used to it in a few days.”
Biden Lu took the ice water over, only to feel that it was frighteningly cold in his hands.
He was worried that Jenny had been very hot and drinking such cold water all at once would irritate her stomach.
So instead of actually wringing it out and giving it to her to drink, she just let her take it and put it on her forehead to cool off.
Krymu saw nothing, but silently turned the car’s air conditioning down a few more degrees.
About an hour later, the yellow sand outside the window was finally gone.
The car finally drove into a town full of greenery.
The city, in Krimu’s words, was huge, but it was actually desert outside, and it was the only small area where people could actually live.
If they had the time, and had the leisure time, they could go and take a look.
Neither Jenny nor Biden Lu spoke, Jenny didn’t want to talk now, she had been doing very well since her pregnancy.
The two little ones were quiet in her tummy, never bothered her, and she didn’t even have much morning sickness.
r This time out, however, somehow the feeling of wanting to vomit kept rising up from her stomach, making her lose the strength to even open her eyes if she didn’t say anything.
Biden Lu, on the other hand, was worried about her and didn’t want to talk.
The two little ones had fallen asleep in his arms, and while he cuddled one, from time to time he would also have to pay attention to Jenny’s situation, which was also really multipurpose.
In fact, this time Mo Nan came along.
But because they were worried about the old man and the old lady, they left Mo Nan there to take care of them.
After all, though, the Jin family was quite close to the old lady, and nothing should happen to her.
But after all, they were outsiders, and in an unfamiliar place, and if the old lady and the others didn’t have a competent member of their own beside them, it would sometimes be inevitably inconvenient.
With good kung fu on her, a fine heart, and most importantly, loyalty, keeping her around was the best option.
The car drove on a little further, eventually stopping in front of a magnificent building in the centre of the city.
Jenny felt the car stop, which gave him some strength to open his eyes slowly.
All I saw was a white castle in front of me, which really looked like a medieval European building, with a pointed roof that was as beautiful as a painting.
With that, she managed to sit up and lift the curtain of the car window to look out.
There were only a few security guards standing at the carved gate, and it was as if Kriemu had taken some sort of ID badge or something, signaling that those people would hit the gate and Kriemu would then slow the car down and drive in.
Driving into the estate, it was a different view inside.
In a place like this, something as delicate as a flower would naturally be unfit to survive.
But spare the view, it still doesn’t affect the place.
It was lush with greenery, filled with large green trees and a few low plants, each one of which seemed to have been carefully designed and even placed in just the right place.
The floor in the middle was paved with a very glossy marble, and the car driving on it was like walking on white glass, which reflected the sun’s bright light.
Jenny couldn’t help but exclaim in his heart, Trench!
This is the real trench!
Those who knew this was coming to the home of a ghost doctor, and those who didn’t, thought this was going into the palace.
Yes, the style of the place, in Jenny’s mind, was that of a medieval European palace.
The car drove on and on for about five or six minutes before finally coming to a stop in front of a very tall building.
Klimo jumped out of the car and walked to the back to open the door for them, smiling, “Sir, ma’am, we’re here, please get out.”
Only then did Biden Lu get out of the car with the child in his arms, Jenny Jing followed behind, and Crimu came up to assist her.
Only after getting off the car did Jenny see clearly that the building in front of him was also filled with that ancient European palace-like style, with every stone pillar and every carving on it, all lifelike, as if they had entered a fairyland.
Krymu walked ahead to lead the way, smiling, “Please follow me.”
A few people then went forward with him.
In front of the building is a side of tall stairs, about 20 or 30 stories.
They were only halfway there, before they actually walked up, when they heard a woman’s excited voice from up ahead.
“You said Jenny and the others have arrived? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I’m going out to pick them up.”
