Chapter Eighteen Xia San Qi was bailed out

  After resolving the evil energy on Xu Ye's body, Jiang Le refused Zhao's and the Dean's invitation to stay, and returned to the antique shop's small courtyard.

  Seeing her son return safely, Jiang Hua let out a sigh of relief and then said firmly: "This time mom was over the line, next time we encounter something like this, I won't let you help again."

  "Mom, this doesn't seem like you at all," Jiang Le said with a smile. "What happened to your kind heart?"

  Jiang Hua said seriously: "I'm usually softhearted, but first and foremost I'm an ordinary mother. When you left, I kept thinking about the dangers you mentioned, and my mind has been restless, I don't even know how to get through this."

  Jiang Le's heart warmed up, in this world, the only one who selflessly cared for him was his mother in front of him. He nodded and said, "Alright, I'll listen to mom, from now on I'll be more low-key and won't interfere with others' business."

  Jiang Hua burst out laughing. Although she was also working hard to cultivate her Tao, at this moment, she was just an ordinary person, an ordinary mother with a deep and profound love.

  Two days later, Director Zhao called Jiang Le and said that Xu Ye had woken up and seemed to be recovering well. However, Xu Ye wanted to see him.

  Jiang Le's resolute refusal. Since the cause is gone, a reunion would be superfluous.

  Then Director Zhao brought up a matter, saying that Xu Ye wanted to act as an agent for the Yu Fu business, and they could discuss the price.

  Jiang Le couldn't help but laugh at this.

  Although Yu Fu is a simplified version and not as comprehensive as the paper symbol, it has the advantage of being made of jade that can be worn on the body, making its value absolutely higher than that of the paper symbol.

  Jiang Le made his first move, calling out a price of 50,000 yuan, the same as the paper symbol, but it was new goods on the market and needed an acceptable process.

  Now Xu Ye can save a life, Yu Fu's contribution cannot be buried, and he must let him know the value of Yu Fu. I believe this matter should also make many people in their wealthy circle aware that selling it again will bring immense wealth.

  However, Jiang Le would no longer take it easy and strike out so lightly.

  "Director Zhao, I don't know what benefits Xu Ye has given you, but our cooperation is only based on the spirit symbol business. Worrying too much can easily damage our cooperative relationship. I don't want to hear these words again, otherwise, it will be the end of our connection." Jiang Le said with a light tone, but with an obvious hint of anger.

  Director Zhao's voice stopped abruptly, and after a long time, he dryly laughed: "I understand."

  Hanging up the phone, Jiang Le couldn't help but furrow his brow.

  From Director Xu's mother to President Zhao, they all showed one thing, that is human feelings and interest exchanges.

  Although I threatened to break off relations, this is just the beginning. In the future, even if we meet other people, we can't avoid this kind of trouble. This is the red dust of the world, where there are always some interests entangled between people.

  It seems that my previous so-called cooperative idea was really too naive, and the consideration was not thorough enough. If we continue like this, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble.

  In the future, even if you're short of money, don't easily cooperate with others. This kind of cooperation can inadvertently drag you in and get you involved.

  Kang Le thought about how to change his previous cooperation with Director Zhao.

  There's also Principal Zhang Guixin, who has put in enough effort himself. It's just that for the sake of a good university spot, it seems somewhat unequal. After all, going to college is just to give his mother an account, not really wanting to work hard and then break his head for a good job.

  Just as Jiang Le was considering how to resolve the troubles he had left behind, in a mansion in Qingyang City, they were also secretly discussing how to seize the jade symbol's source of goods from Jiang Le.

  Among them was a tall, thin young man with long hair wrapped in gauze. If Jiang Le saw him, he would definitely recognize him as Xia Sanqi, whose bones he had broken.

  This fellow is quite capable, and in just a few days he was able to get out of the yamen.

  At this moment, he who was sitting with a group of people had lost the arrogance and domineering air he had in Jiang Le Store, instead, he looked somewhat constrained and fearful.

  "San Qi, I'm getting you out of there, you should understand what I mean."

  On the upper sofa, a burly man in his 40s with slicked-back hair and an unsmiling face wore a loose-fitting pajama suit and held a thick cigar between his fingers, which were adorned with a dark green signet ring. He looked very much like a big brother.

  Xia Sanqi smiled and nodded: "I understand, Eighth Master, it's about the Jade Token."

  The burly man, Eighth Master, smiled and continued: "This jade symbol is all the rage in high society lately. Xu, the boss of Dongshang Trade, even owed his life to it. He was said to have been possessed by an evil spirit, but the jade symbol saved him. Do you think this story is believable, San Qi?"

  Xia Sanqi nodded solemnly and said, "Eighth Master, you also know what I do. Digging graves and excavating caves is my specialty. For those of us in this line of work, it's essential to believe in this. Before starting work, we must pay respects by burning incense."

  "Alright then, whether the jade symbol can ward off evil spirits or not is of no concern to me. What I care about is that it's accepted by people. Anything that's accepted by people is a good thing."

  Xia Sanqi's eyes lit up, then hesitated slightly and said: "Yu Fu is good, but Jiang Le is not simple either. He probably won't easily let this business go to Eighth Master."

  "Ha! I'm a man steeped in Confucian thought, so I prefer to use courtesy before resorting to force. This matter is now in your hands; I won't bother with the process, only the outcome. Once it's done, I'll also bail out your brothers and consider the debt you owe me cleared. On top of that, I'll throw in a 20 million yuan bonus."

  Xia Sanqi was overjoyed and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Eighth Master, I'll definitely get this done properly for you."

  ……

  "Knock knock knock!"

  A crisp knock at the door echoed deeply into the room.

  With a creak, the door opened, revealing Jiang Hua's face, which had become increasingly radiant due to taking Gan Yuan Dan.

  Looking out, Jiang Hua was taken aback.

  The one knocking on the door was a pretty girl she knew, it was Officer Zhou Xian who came over last time to investigate the crying baby.

  It was already known that the crying sound of the female infant was made by the ghost baby Yin Yin, who was taken in by her son. When she saw the police investigating this matter, Jiang Hua's eyes showed a hint of vigilance and unease.

  Just as Zhou Yan was about to speak, she looked at Jiang Hua with sudden confusion.

  She had developed a habit of looking people in the eye after studying at the police academy and learned to analyze others' gazes and expressions.

  This aunt in front of me, the last time I saw her, had a clear and pure gaze, without any timidity or fear, with an air of innocence and confidence that was unapologetic and fearless.

  And now her eyes actually had a vigilant color towards herself, with an obvious uneasy expression on her face, why was that?

  "Cough cough, it's Officer Zhou, what can I do for you?" Jiang Hua composed himself and asked with a smile.

  Zhou Xuan gave Jiang Hua a sly glance and smiled: "Auntie, you mentioned last time that you wanted to sell some accessories. I've been thinking about it ever since. Can I take a look at the accessories?"

  Jiang Hua was stunned, she came to buy accessories? Not suspecting her son?

  "I sold out of the ornaments very quickly, they were all gone on the first day. I don't have any stock now, but when I get some more in, I'll set some aside for you." Jiang Hua didn't intend to open the door and clearly didn't want Zhou Xian to come in.

  Zhou Xuan's suspicion grew thicker, her eyes shifted around, and she changed the subject: "Auntie, I have something else to ask. Last time someone came to your store at dusk to steal, and the thief we caught has been bailed out by someone. I want to talk to your son about this, is that okay with you?"

  "What? Let him go? That's the thief who came to steal and wanted to rob, how can you just let him go? Isn't this lawless?" Jiang Hua said angrily.

  Zhou Yan's face was awkward, she didn't expect Jiang Hua to have such a big reaction, but there were many twists and turns in this matter, and it wasn't easy for her to explain to outsiders.

  "So I want to come and tell your son that as long as this person who has been released is caught by us again, he will absolutely not be allowed to come out and harm people again." Zhou Yan said seriously.

  Jiang Hua didn't trust her anymore and coldly said, "That's not necessary, we're not planning to open the door for business either. There's nothing for people to steal, you can leave."

  She finished speaking and directly shut the door, giving Zhou Xian a cold shoulder.

  "How could this be? The difference in her attitude before and after is too big, right? Even if the thief was bailed out, it's not like they would treat a police officer like that. There must be some problem." Zhou Yan furrowed her brow, a thoughtful expression appearing in her eyes.
