"Thank you for the milk, Officer Lu. I've settled the payment. Goodbye."
With those words, Chi Mu Jiu stepped out of the interrogation room. The refund from Alipay had been processed. The notification sound from her phone was neither too loud nor too soft.
Lu Jin Zhi pressed her lips together, not looking up, but feeling a slight emptiness in her heart. The young officer from earlier watched Lu Jin Zhi with confusion. He had never seen Team Leader Lu display such an expression before; why was it that during these two instances partnering with her, he could sense fluctuations in her emotions?
Just as the young officer was about to speak up, Lu Jin Zhi seemed to sense it and promptly walked out.
Inside the car, she sat in her seat, her eyes gradually closing as her head began to droop uncontrollably, as if she might drift off to sleep at any moment. The phone in her hand remained silent, the screen still not displaying any new messages from Du Heng Yan.
"Jin Su, is there any new message from Du Heng Yan?" Chi Mu Jiu forced herself to stay alert and looked towards Jin Su in the driver's seat, her eyes revealing a hint of worry and concern.
Jin Su slightly turned his head and smiled as he replied, "Everything is progressing smoothly, Madam. Please don't worry."
Even though she couldn't detect anything unusual in Jin Su's tone, Chi Mu Jiu still couldn't fully relax. She let out a soft sigh and shifted her gaze back to the phone screen, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the device, the unease in her heart not dissipating.
Jin Su continued to reassure her, "It hasn't even been a day yet; there's no need for you to be overly anxious." He understood the bond between his lady and the boss and tried his best to alleviate her anxiety.
Chi Mu Jiu nodded gently but still furrowed her brows slightly, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness. "I know, but I just can't help but worry." She understood that Jin Su was right, yet the concerns within her heart were not easily dismissed.
Madam, I didn't have the chance to report to you earlier, but the mysterious force behind the Lei family is a prominent Lu family that has just relocated from abroad. The business landscape in the city has a very stable development outlook.
Chi Mu Jiu made an effort to focus and listen as Jin Su finished speaking.
So, this Lu family needs a lackey in the city, and this lackey must have ambition, making the Lei family the most suitable choice.
But why not the Ye family? Jin Su asked, puzzled.
The Ye family is large and powerful, and with your boss's overwhelming influence behind them, it’s clear that this Lu family has some connections and has gathered certain information. They dare not reveal their identity just yet and can only manipulate things from behind the scenes. They will use the Lei family as cannon fodder to eliminate the foundations of several other families before moving into the city. By then, even if the Ye family is capable, they will only be able to turn a blind eye.
Just watch; I estimate that this Lu family will make a move in the next couple of days.
As Jin Su drove, he listened to his wife’s analysis and suddenly felt enlightened.
Madam, it’s such a pity that your thinking and intellect aren’t applied to business!
Chi Mu Jiu smiled lightly. From the beginning, she had no intention of taking over the Chi family; she only took 51% of the shares to prevent Chi Qi Yun from gaining control.
Given the current situation, even if her parents were not ill, she would still take over the Chi family. The Chi family would only be truly safe in her hands.
The group she saved this time was related to her own bloodline, but it had no connection to her anymore.
The scenery outside the car window continued to recede.
She felt tired—very tired. Perhaps autumn really was a perfect season for sleeping.
