Xu Chang'an was unaware that he had been targeted by two "snakes". He was still indulging in a life of gluttony, wine, and debauchery.
Ding Ruola had been hospitalized for a week and recovered well. She was soon discharged from the hospital.
As her body was still very weak after the recovery, Fang Siyan stopped Ding Ruola from going to work. He also asked her to put aside her current design projects and have a good rest at home.
"Old Fang! I didn't work at all in the first half of the year. Look, it's already the second half, and you still want me to rest."
Ding Ruola sat on Fang Siyan's lap and opened her mouth to swallow the pear paste that Fang Siyan had brought to her lips.
It was sweet and slightly cool. Ding Ruola loved this taste. It was best to eat it with mint in summer.
"If your health breaks down, you'll be crying."
When Ding Ruola saw that the bowl in Fang Siyan's hand was empty, she consciously got off the man's lap, took the bowl from his hand, and obediently carried it to the kitchen.
"Leave it! Don't wash it! You can't touch cold water!"
Hearing the sound of water in the kitchen, Fang Siyan quickly stood up and rushed into the kitchen. He immediately turned off the faucet, dried the girl's hands, and then pushed her out of the kitchen.
"Have a good rest!"
He had been at home these days just to take care of Ding Ruola. How could he let her do housework?
The girl sat outside, listening to the sound of water in the kitchen. She felt a bit sad.
When the man came out, she called Fang Siyan's name and patted the space beside her.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The heavy and dull sound reached Fang Siyan's ears. The man walked around the coffee table and sat beside Ding Ruola.
Fang Siyan reached out and pulled the girl into his arms.
"It's hot in summer!"
Ding Ruola quickly pushed the man away. In fact, it wasn't because of the heat. Mainly, she was about to say something from the bottom of her heart. If she was seduced by the man like this, there would be no sincere words, only in - depth discussions about their "wrestling" skills.
"Old Fang, you can't spoil me too much!"
Fang Siyan moved back a bit. He tilted his head and looked at the girl. Staring at Ding Ruola's face for a while, he reached out and put the back of his hand on her forehead.
She didn't have a fever. Why was she talking like she was delirious?
"Don't touch randomly! I think our relationship is not equal at all."
There could never be perfect equality in a romantic relationship.
Fang Siyan knew that Ding Ruola also wanted to help him share some housework and family responsibilities. But he really felt sorry for her. He didn't want her to be tired. So no matter what Ding Ruola said, his answer was always the same - no.
The company's affairs were only busier in the middle and at the end of the year. Usually, Fang Siyan didn't have much to do. He just helped the company plan a major development direction. As for how to achieve it, that was the job of his subordinates.
"Really?"
"I think you're lying!"
Ding Ruola was also a leader in the studio. She never thought that work was easy.
Her normal working hours were ten hours a day. When the project deadline was approaching, she wished there were forty - eight hours in a day.
"Our jobs are different!"
Fang Siyan spread his hands. He was also very helpless. His work mainly involved mental operations. He only needed to analyze the data clearly, investigate the market situation, and then set the goals.
Ding Ruola had to draw the manuscripts stroke by stroke, discuss with the people in the studio, and then keep revising the manuscripts to complete her work.
This was also the reason why Fang Siyan took care of Ding Ruola.
"Okay! So are you going to work tomorrow?"
"Not going to work! Going to meet someone!"
If Ding Ruola hadn't reminded him, Fang Siyan would have forgotten his arrangement for tomorrow.
Later that night, Fang Siyan persuaded Ding Ruola to go to bed. He went to the study alone and took out a folder locked in the safe.
There were bills, photos, and a stack of documents inside.
Fang Siyan looked through the things inside again. After making sure that no one other than the Xu family would be involved, he safely put the documents back.
Early the next morning, when the sky was still gray and the old people who did morning exercises in the park hadn't come out yet, Fang Siyan had already arrived at the park.
"Isn't your way of exchange a bit old - fashioned?"
Gu Liubai looked at Fang Siyan's outfit.
He was wearing a sportswear but holding a document bag in his hand. Such a conflicting outfit would actually arouse others' suspicion.
"Stop talking so much! Everything is in there. Don't let me down!"
After Fang Siyan gave the document bag to Gu Liubai, he jogged away.
The document bag contained materials about a chemical factory of the Xu family. It had detailed records of its purchases and the reports of the factory's sewage tests.
Gu Liubai carefully examined the materials in the document.
He couldn't help but sigh - this Fang Siyan was really extraordinary. These materials were concise and didn't involve anyone other than the Xu family. What surprised Gu Liubai the most was that Fang Siyan had investigated everyone who had attended the Xu family's dinner party that night to the bottom.
"It's getting more and more interesting!"
The way Fang Siyan protected Ding Ruola made Gu Liubai even more curious about her.
At first, he just thought this girl was a bit interesting. Then he thought about who Fang Siyan was. For him to do so much for a girl, this girl must have some special abilities.
After getting these materials, Gu Liubai directly handed them to his old colleague.
Tang Feng looked at the materials covering the table and his face showed joy.
He had been thinking that it had been almost half a year and there had been no drug seizures this year. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to complete his performance in this aspect. Now they had directly uncovered a drug - making den.
"You've got some skills, kid!"
"It wasn't me who got these. Fang Siyan gave me the materials."
Tang Feng was a bit skeptical. A CEO who spent all day in the office dealing with documents wouldn't have the time to get this information.
"You've got the habitual thinking of a policeman. He doesn't have to do it himself."
Gu Liubai wasn't polite at all. He directly picked up the coffee on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
"Can I come back now?"
"Not yet! The people over there haven't been caught yet. You have to be patient."
Tang Feng made another cup of coffee for Gu Liubai and patted the man on the shoulder.
"Got it!"
The man didn't take the coffee from Tang Feng. He walked out of the director's office seriously. When he was almost at the police station entrance, he returned to his usual playful look.
The materials in Fang Siyan's hands could not only send Xu Chang'an to prison but also get him sentenced to death immediately.
As for the other members of the Xu family, they were all involved in some illegal businesses to some extent. Some were engaged in illegal usury, some in information trafficking, and some were involved in prostitution and gang - related activities. There were hardly any legitimate industries in the family.
If they hadn't targeted Ding Ruola, Fang Siyan might have let them live for a while. But they asked for it, and Fang Siyan was just giving them a push.
"Old Fang! Xu Chang'an has been arrested!"
The news about Xu Chang'an was on the headlines of several apps today. It was hard for Ding Ruola not to see it.
