That fleet is owned by Jin Hai.
It’s impossible for one person to seize control of the specific voyage information.”
“It seems there are quite a few moles.”
Jiang Chen completely considered it from the perspective of the other party.
Lan Peizhi did not respond.
“Since they’ve even dragged Jin Hai into this, it shows that they’re very confident and determined, and it may have been preditated for a long ti.
You need to be careful.”
Jiang Chen cautioned, paused for a mont, and then continued, “If push cos to shove, you can consider returning to the country first and arrange for soone else to handle things here.
That Mr.
An is a good candidate.
You can deal with it after the storm has passed.”
In military strategy, it is said that the best plan is to retreat.
To put it more plainly,
When the wind is strong, it’s ti to lie low.
Jiang Chen wasn’t particular about the extent of Lan Peizhi’s business in Korea, but it definitely shouldn’t have reached a level where she would take such enormous risks for the Korean market.
The hush of the moonlight on the sea highlighted Lan Peizhi’s beautiful countenance.
The sea breeze ca, lifting the tips of her hair.
Jiang Chen involuntarily recalled their first eting by the Pujiang River.
In a lifeti, no one can truly have it all smooth sailing.
“As long as the green hills are there, there will be no shortage of wood to burn.”
Jiang Chen continued.
“You’re right, but even if I wanted to leave now, I’m afraid I couldn’t.”
“Why not?”
Jiang Chen wondered.
“The Korean governnt has already restricted my departure.”
Restricted from leaving the country?!
Jiang Chen was instantly at a loss for words and then couldn’t help but deeply frown.
On Shi Qianxi’s side, he knew roughly that the issue must be significant, but he really didn’t expect the situation to have deteriorated to such an extent.
“So if you don’t want trouble, it’s best you stay away from .”
Jiang Chen was about to speak, but Lan Peizhi had already turned and walked into the cabin.
Jiang Chen slowly pursed his lips.
Until the boat docked, Lan Peizhi did not show up again.
Two brawny n with broad backs and sturdy builds escorted Jiang Chen and Gao Zhengbi off the boat.
“What kind of organization is this Zhusi Society, do you know?”
After getting into the car, Jiang Chen asked.
It would take roughly half an hour to drive back to the city center of Seoul from there,
Gao Zhengbi, driving with one hand, took out his mobile phone with the other.
“Based on the information shown online, Zhusi Society is a trading company, not very large in scale.
But according to my estimation, this company is actually a…
managent agency, and the person behind it is Miss Lan.
For the specifics, Mr.
Jiang, you might want to ask Director Shi, she should know.”
Asking Shi Qianxi isn’t necessary.
Gao Zhengbi was obviously putting it mildly.
If his guess was right, according to what he had seen and heard tonight, Zhusi Society was indeed under Lan Peizhi’s control, but fundantally, it should be a criminal organization.
That unruly man with the red tie, An Zairong, is likely the main person in charge.
Even though Korea is a developed country, the evil forces within it are intertwined and complex.
This is corroborated by their own production of various cri movies.
Jiang Chen leaned back in his seat.
“Miss Lan just said she has been restricted from leaving the country.”
“That serious?”
Gao Zhengbi expressed surprise.
“You didn’t know?”
Gao Zhengbi shook his head, “I’m not familiar with Miss Lan, and Director Shi didn’t ntion it to .”
That’s to be expected.
After all, he’s just a subordinate.
“Legally, the Korean governnt certainly has that right, but isn’t their reaction a little too swift?” Jiang Chen furrowed his brows thoughtfully.
Lan Peizhi arrived only two days before him, which ans she was almost imdiately restricted from leaving the country upon arrival.
Isn’t that too efficient?
Jiang Chen had an inkling of a feeling akin to “luring the tiger from the mountain.”
Perhaps Lan Peizhi herself did not anticipate this situation, otherwise, she would have certainly considered carefully whether to co to Korea or not.
“My knowledge of the situation is quite limited.”
Gao Zhengbi put away his phone, “All I know is that the day the smuggled goods were seized, we took asures trying to calm the situation.
Normally, this kind of incident could be made a big deal or dismissed as trivial, but the Korean authorities were very resolute this ti around, insisting on an in-depth investigation.
The next day the investigative team searched our Jin Hai.”
Jiang Chen pinched the bridge of his nose.
Lan Peizhi indeed had imnse influence and deep connections in her ho country, but here in Korea, it was a foreign land.
Even if she was highly influential back ho, in a foreign land, such influence may not bear any weight.
“Is there no way to get Miss Lan back ho first?”
While driving, Gao Zhengbi said, “There are definitely ways, but under these circumstances, if Miss Lan leaves, she will definitely be labeled with the cri of fleeing due to fear of punishnt.”
“Fleeing due to fear of punishnt is still better than being detained here.”
Jiang Chen spoke gravely.
The eldest princess of a dostic tech giant is a stark example.
She has been detained abroad for several years.
Gao Zhengbi fell silent.
“Mr.
Jiang, what you’re saying makes sense, but the problem is, what about Miss Lan’s own wishes?
Is she willing to leave?”
Jiang Chen had nothing to say, and couldn’t help feeling a bit troubled.
In terms of pride, Lan Peizhi’s should be greater than that of Shi Qianxi.
Even Shi Qianxi feels that leaving at this ti would be a humiliation, let alone during the tumultuous tis of the ‘Blood Guanyin’.
Shi Qianxi was willing to listen to him, but Lan Peizhi was different.
Having entered downtown Seoul and returned to the hotel, Jiang Chen still made a call to Shi Qianxi.
“Are you asleep?”
“No, I just had a chat with my dad.”
“Feeling a lot more relaxed now that you’re back ho?”
Jiang Chen asked, smiling.
“Of course.”
Shi Qianxi asked, “What are you doing?”
“I just t with Miss Lan and have just arrived at the hotel.”
“Is the matter settled?
If it is, co back early.
At this ti, it’s best for you to stay away from her.”
“I know, I have a sense of it.”
“You don’t have any sense at all.”
Shi Qianxi laughed and scolded, “Do you realize how big a trouble this is?”
“I know.”
Jiang Chen said calmly, “Isn’t she already restricted from leaving Korea?”
Shi Qianxi paused slightly.
“Did she tell you that?”
“Mhm.”
“I actually didn’t know until I left.
It was only after my dad told that I found out.
If I had returned any later, I probably would be in the sa boat as her.”
A hint of relief seeped into Shi Qianxi’s tone.
“Did Uncle Shi tell you anything else?”
Jiang Chen asked.
There might be so insider information that Shi Qianxi was only partially aware of.
“My dad said, the Korean prosecution has filed a lawsuit against Miss Lan, and the court has accepted it.”
Filing a lawsuit right after restricting from leaving the country?
Jiang Chen sat on the sofa.
“Didn’t Uncle Shi try to persuade Miss Lan?
Given the current situation, it might really be best for her to temporarily leave Korea.”
“Who do you think my dad is?
Others may listen to what he says, but do you think Lan Peizhi will?”
Jiang Chen had no response.
Shi Qianxi exhaled.
“Actually, there’s no need to worry too much.
Who is she?
She’s Lan Peizhi.
Do you think Korea can do anything to her?
My dad is not worried at all.”
Jiang Chen gave a wry smile to himself.
To put it harshly, your dad and her are rely in a business relationship; of course, he wouldn’t be worried.
“Alright, I got it.
Have a good rest at ho, and spend more ti with Uncle Shi and the others.”
“Mhm.”
The tone of Shi Qianxi’s voice sounded cute and sweet, as if issued from her nose, seemingly enjoying Jiang Chen’s attention.
“Okay, then I’ll hang up.
Goodnight.”
“Goodnight.”
Just as Jiang Chen was about to put down his phone, a voice ca from the other end.
“Wait a second.”
“What’s up?”
Jiang Chen asked, puzzled.
“The Korean prosecution’s case against Lan Peizhi seems to be going to court tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow?
That fast?”
Jiang Chen was surprised.
“It’s just a preliminary hearing, there definitely won’t be a verdict for a while, but at least we can get a sense of which way the wind is blowing.”
The seriousness crept into Shi Qianxi’s tone unnoticed.
“If things are really serious, try to persuade her.
The business in Korea shouldn’t be that important to her.”
“Weren’t you always scared of her?”
Jiang Chen asked in a feigned relaxed manner.
“No matter what, we’re business partners.
If sothing really happens to her, it will definitely affect Jinhai.”
“Okay, I know.”
Jiang Chen responded with a smile.
“Mhm, goodnight.”
The call ended.
Jiang Chen put down the phone and glanced at the ti.
About a quarter past ten at night.
Less than eight hours to go until dawn.
