Chapter 1031: Wang Yinghao Moves into the Sheng Family

The prisoner had food poisoning, but everyone else was fine; only he alone had an issue, and the only explainable reason was that the food sent in by a relative was problematic.

Very quickly, the investigation turned to Wang Yingzhi.

She had received a mysterious phone call in advance, telling her that Zhu Qingxiang was about to die in prison, urging her to run away quickly, saying it would be too late if she didn't leave.

Consequently, Wang Yingzhi hurriedly ran away.

She didn't run far; using a fake identity, she hid in a high-end hotel and turned on the television to wait for the news.

That person truly hadn't lied; the Red Wanted Order soon spread all over Jiangzhou.

The whole city was hunting for Zhu Qingxiang, broadcast on a loop; the police offered a reward of one hundred thousand, and someone who didn't want their name revealed offered five million!

Who that person was, everyone in Jiangzhou was guessing; the buzz even overshadowed the pursuit of Zhu Qingxiang himself.

Wang Yingzhi didn't need to guess to know who that person was: Ji Yingjie, of course.

In her impression, Ji Yingjie was just a fool with too much money and a lack of common sense.

What a lousy idea she came up with.

With that intelligence of hers, she still wanted to lure out Zhu Qingxiang's younger brother? In the end, the plan backfired; she didn't even see a hair of that brat's younger brother, yet she let the person run away.

Her fifty million!

At the mere thought of the duck that was already in her mouth flying away, Wang Yingzhi felt an unbearable pain in her heart and was incredibly heartbroken.

She beat her chest and stamped her feet, in agony.

No, even though the matter wasn't accomplished, the money had to be retrieved.

She made up her mind and dialed Ji Yingjie's phone number: "Hello, it's me!"

"You bastard, you son of a bitch, you're still alive? You didn't call me, I thought you had run off with that brat..." Ji Yingjie was furious and started cursing the moment she opened her mouth.

"I'm not a fool, why would I run off with him? He's not my real grandson anyway."

Wang Yingzhi retorted, then got to the point: "This whole thing is your fault; it was your bad idea that made him run away. You have to take full responsibility. Even if I didn't achieve success, I still put in the hard work. Even if you don't give me the full balance, you have to give me forty million."

"What did you say?"

Ji Yingjie was so angry she laughed.

She had never seen such a thick-skinned and shameless person; she botched the job, shirked responsibility, and still wanted money? It was as if all the good things in the world belonged to her.

"What if I don't give it to you?"

"If you don't give fifty million, forty million will do."

Seeing there was no sound from the other side, she took a step back herself: "Thirty-five million, not a cent less, that's my final offer."

Ji Yingjie sneered: "Fine, where are you now? I'll come find you."

Wang Yingzhi: "Meet at the Sheng Family in one hour."

"Why meet at the Sheng Family?"

Wang Yingzhi: "This matter started because of their family, so of course it has to be resolved at their house. If we talk anywhere else, what if you want to kill me to silence me?"

Those ten years in prison weren't served in vain; Wang Yingzhi had become much smarter than before.

Ji Yingjie didn't care where they met; she just wanted to catch those two brats immediately—they absolutely must not be allowed to run out of Jiangzhou!

Zhu Qingxiang escaping from prison brought different reactions from everyone.

The Shi Family.

Gu Zhihao gritted his teeth and called Nianyin: "Nianyin, how much do the bodyguards at your security company cost? For the sake of us being relatives, can you give me a discount?"

Nianyin suppressed her laughter and said with an iron face: "Cheap ones aren't capable; spending more money provides more protection. You better think clearly; among the families Zhu Qingxiang has a grudge against, yours is the weakest and needs protection the most."

Gu Zhihao was about to cry: "Then what should I do? Should I install security bars?"

Nianyin: "Do you think something like security bars can stop that person?"

There was no sound on the other end for a long time—Gu Zhihao was so scared he couldn't speak, his hands and feet trembling, and he hung up the phone without a word.

Lao Qi sighed helplessly and said to his wife: "Why are you scaring him? He's timid."

Nianyin: "Don't worry about it. I just can't stand men who are timid yet stingy to the bone. They value a single dollar more than the sky. What's the use of having so much money? Can you take it into your coffin?"

Lao Qi: "You've never been poor, so you don't know the hardships of the poor. He's been used to living frugally since he was a child; even if he were truly rich one day, he wouldn't be willing to spend it."

Nianyin glared at him and retorted: "Have you ever been poor?"

Lao Qi hadn't been poor either, but he had seen it.

In the end, Nianyin softened her heart and sent over a few bodyguards, declaring: No money needed!

Gu Zhihao accepted gladly.

Ji Yingjie's house didn't need any; the Guards she brought from the Ji Family looked ordinary, but one could handle a dozen people. She was actually hoping Zhu Qingxiang would come to take revenge, which would save her the trouble of searching the world for him.

Not to mention the Sheng Family; their security was the best in all of Jiangzhou.

Zhu Qingxiang's information had already been entered into the residential security system; as long as he dared to step into the residential area again, he would be discovered immediately.

The Sheng Family could guard against Zhu Qingxiang, but they hadn't expected Wang Yingzhi to come!

When she arrived, Wang Yinghao was holding a bowl of freshly washed cherries, preparing to give them to a neighbor.

"Clatter!"

The exquisite French enamel bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

The round, large cherries rolled everywhere.

"You, you..."

When Wang Yinghao saw her, it was as if she had seen a ghost; her face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out profusely.

"What 'you' what? You know you should be embarrassed to see me? Don't just stand there, go make me some tea; I'm dying of thirst."

She sat brazenly on the sofa, fanning her cheeks with her hand, and naturally propped her feet up on the coffee table, just as if she had returned to her own home.

Wang Yingzhi looked around the living room and clicked her tongue in praise: "Truly nice. I didn't expect Hanyu to develop even better after leaving the Sheng Family. My son is just amazing..."

She spoke for a long time, only to find Wang Yinghao still standing in the same spot, and said with dissatisfaction: "Why are you standing there like a fool?"

"Are your ears deaf? Did you not hear me say I'm thirsty?"

"I, I heard you."

"If you heard me, go pour some tea. You've been wooden since you were small, and even now that you're this old, I haven't seen you amount to anything. You have no skills whatsoever, just good luck..."

She came to the Sheng Family and acted as if she were the mistress of the house, while Wang Yinghao became the servant.

None of the family members were home.

Shi Ran's time as an exchange student had ended, and because Zhu Qingxiang had run off, the whole family went to the airport to see Shi Ran off for the sake of her safety; only she was at home.

Wang Yinghao went to the kitchen to brew tea, but her hands could not stop trembling, and several times she spilled the boiling water outside the cup.

After finally calming down a little, she carried the teacup out and placed it on the coffee table.

Wang Yingzhi picked it up and immediately smashed it onto the floor; the teacup shattered into pieces!

"Are you trying to scald me to death?"

Wang Yinghao retreated two steps involuntarily.

She knew she shouldn't be afraid of her, but the habit formed from childhood had been carved into her bones and could not be changed just by saying so.

"Clumsy and incapable of doing anything, only good at enjoying life, just good luck..."

Wang Yingzhi rambled on, ordering her younger sister to go and fetch another cup of tea.

The tea was replaced, neither too cold nor too hot, just right.

She gulped down a cup and, still wanting more, said, "Bring me another."

Just as she finished giving the order, Ji Yingjie arrived.

"Madam in-law, are you the only one home?"

Seeing Ji Yingjie, Wang Yinghao felt as if she had seen a relative and hurriedly went to greet her: "Yes, yes, the whole family went to the airport to see Ranran off; I'm the only one home."

She lowered her voice: "Could you keep her company for a while? I'm going to call Xuanxuan."
