Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 404 Young Master Yi Also Had Mortal Thoughts

However, Yi Fanxi did not tell Yan Zuozuo about the author of Double Wings, nor did he mention any information about the shopping mall. He simply said, "I will handle this matter. I will contact you again if I need your cooperation."

Yan Zuozuo was completely confused; what was all this about? But since Yi Fanxi had spoken, she figured things shouldn't be too difficult to resolve.

In Stephen's villa, Yi Fanxi walked in silently. Stephen seemed to have expected him to come and had already prepared red wine. Without looking up, he simply said in a low voice, "Young Master's skills are becoming more and more superb."

Yi Fanxi sat in front of him with an indifferent expression, without placing the red wine in front of him. "Why did you do this?"

Stephen smiled. "For self-preservation."

Yi Fanxi's expression remained unchanged: "Restore Young Master Ou's innocence."

Stephen glanced at Yi Fanxi and said, "Young Master should know very well how many people are protecting Yan Zuozuo. The fewer Ou Luhan there is, the greater the chance that Chi Moqing's opponents will capture Yan Zuozuo. And when we deal with Chi Moqing, we can simply sit back and reap the benefits."

"I don't care what you and the old man think, I only have one request: you must not hurt Yan Zuozuo." The old man Yi Fanxi mentioned was Stephen's godfather, Yi Fanxi's biological father.

Stephen frowned slightly: "Back then, the young master's mother took a bullet for his godfather and died at the hands of Chi Moqing. Doesn't the young master want revenge?"

Yi Fanxi paused, then glanced at Stephen and parted his thin lips slightly, "Even if it's revenge, I want a fair fight, not to use a woman." He paused, then sneered, "Besides, the old man isn't that kind-hearted. He's just unwilling to accept defeat and has wanted revenge all these years. I don't intend to get involved in this mess, but Yan Zuozuo is the only one who cannot be touched!"

"In that case, why should the young master care about the life or death of Third Young Master Ou?"

Yi Fanxi's gaze softened slightly. "He'll still be useful until Chi Moqing returns." With that, he stood up, ready to leave. "Do as I say!"

Stephen narrowed his eyes, watching Yi Fanxi who was about to step out of the villa, and suddenly asked, "Young Master, have you fallen for Yan Zuozuo?"

Yi Fanxi paused, remained silent for a moment, then walked away.

Stephen slowly clenched his fist, and the moment the villa door closed, he slammed it down onto the sofa. Before leaving, Chi Moqing had instructed him to protect Yan Zuozuo, and since Chi Moqing held leverage over him, he had no choice but to obey. His cooperation with that person was partly for self-preservation, and partly to strengthen his own power so that he could eventually become Chi Moqing's equal.

However, he hadn't expected Yi Fanxi to get involved. Regardless, as long as he remained a member of the Mafia, he had to obey orders. Yi Fanxi was the young master, and on the surface, still his boss. Moreover, Yi Fanxi now controlled most of the Mafia's power. If he dared disobey orders, he could escape, but his life would likely become much more difficult.

Weighing the pros and cons, of course, offending that person wouldn't end well for him either. But with the Mafia as his backing, that person would have to think twice before taking action against him.

Although this multiple-choice question is difficult, isn't it also an opportunity?

He sneered, picked up the glass of red wine on the table, and drank it all in one gulp!

In the afternoon, Yan Zuozuo asked Chi Xuecan for leave and planned to go back to Fanhua Design. She had just arrived in front of the office building when she saw Zhu Xi coming out angrily, muttering something incoherently.

Yan Zuozuo walked over curiously, just about to ask her what was going on, when she heard Judy complain, "Yan Zuozuo, do you think my brother's brain is fried? I haven't even won Yi Fanxi over yet, and he's actually trying to kick her out, is he crazy?!"

Yan Zuozuo looked around, pulled her to a secluded spot, and then asked, "Why does the director want to get rid of Yi Fanxi?"

"I heard that Young Master Ou is in trouble, and Yi Fanxi wants to help. But my brother actually said that no one is allowed to get involved, and anyone who does is out of the picture! He's clearly shirking responsibility and is disloyal!"

Yan Zuozuo was stunned. She remembered that Fisher and Young Master Ou had a good relationship. Now that Young Master Ou was in trouble, how could he do this?

She looked at Judy with a complicated expression: "Are you sure you didn't hear wrong?"

"I was right there, how could I have misheard? You know what? My brother has been getting more and more mysterious and unethical lately. Is Young Master Ou even his friend? He not only refused to help, but he also wouldn't let Yi Fanxi help. Do you think he's lost his mind? If I were Young Master Ou, I would definitely cut ties with him completely!"

Yan Zuozuo didn't understand Fisher's thinking either. She asked, "Why doesn't the director let Yi Fanxi help?" She felt that this was very unlike Fisher's behavior. He used to be extremely protective of his own people. How could he have such thoughts now?

"My brother said this is a major case, money laundering. What if Yi Fanxi gets involved and it implicates the company? Ugh! I never saw my brother be such a selfish person. He's so disappointing!"

Yan Zuozuo looked at Judy and felt that this explanation was far-fetched. No matter what, this matter shouldn't implicate the company, right? Then why would Fisher stop them from rescuing Young Master Ou? Or was this just an excuse for Fisher to drive Yi Fanxi out of Fanhua Design?

She remembered that Lu Yaoyuan had mentioned that Fisher didn't really approve of Julie and Yi Fanxi being together.

"Yan Zuozuo, let me tell you, when I was kicked out just now, I secretly overheard a little bit of what was going on, and it seemed to be about your husband," Judy whispered as she approached her.

"What? What did the director say?"

Julie looked around and whispered, "It seems they want Tong Shili to stay away from the Chi family. They said your husband is in trouble lately, and you shouldn't drag the core of the entire Fan Hua Design team into this mess."

Yan Zuozuo could hardly believe these words came from Fisher's mouth. She stared at Julie in astonishment, increasingly confused by Fisher's thoughts. Moreover, how did Fisher know about Tong Shili's relationship with the Chi family?

Taking a deep breath, Yan Zuozuo composed herself and said, "Julie, no matter what you do, the director is still your brother, and he must know his limits. This matter has nothing to do with you, so don't get involved. Just focus on your work."

"How could I not get involved? Wouldn't I become like my brother? Besides, Young Master Ou has always treated me quite well. I wouldn't abandon my principles in a critical moment. It's okay, if my brother dares to prevent Yi Fanxi from saving people, I'll fight him to the death!"

Yan Zuozuo chuckled; this girl was truly loyal. Just then, her phone rang. It was Yi Fanxi calling. She glanced at Zhu Xi and said, "I have to go now. I'll contact you again if there are any updates."

Julie nodded, still looking indignant.

Yan Zuozuo took her phone and walked outside. Yi Fanxi's voice came from inside, "This matter is a bit tricky, but it's not unsolvable. Let's meet and talk later."

“Okay.” Yan Zuozuo readily agreed, while Yi Fanxi, who had just hung up, frowned. Stephen was, after all, a member of the Mafia, and this matter was complicated. It wasn’t impossible to resolve it, but it might have to be done in a more tactful way.

Yi Fanxi led Yan Zuozuo to a particularly secluded coffee shop, a place far from the hustle and bustle, quiet in a dark alley. The interior was decorated in a rustic style, with a strong scholarly atmosphere.

The two sat facing each other, and Yi Fanxi said, "This matter is complicated, and you don't need to know that much. There's only one way to rescue Young Master Ou, and it requires your cooperation."

"You said."

“I have an invoice here for 300,000 yuan, which is the price of that jade ornament. If the police ask, just say that you bought it to give to Shang Xiaoguo, and that Shang Xiaoguo and Young Master Ou were unaware of it.”

Yan Zuozuo thought about it and felt that it was indeed a good idea. But then she suddenly paused, asking curiously, "Why do you have an invoice, and why are you with..."

"The less you know, the better. Isn't your goal to rescue Young Master Ou?"

Yan Zuozuo found it very strange, and her mind began to make all sorts of guesses. She didn't believe that this matter was related to Yi Fanxi, but the fact that he was able to resolve it meant that he was connected to the person who wanted to harm Young Master Ou.

Who could that person be?

Yan Zuozuo recalled what Chi Moqing had told him about the relationship between Yi Fanxi and Stephen, and that Stephen was an enemy of them. Could it be that he was the one who framed Young Master Ou?

With her mind in a jumble, Yan Zuozuo took a few sips of coffee, stood up, and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I have to meet with the police later."

Yi Fanxi nodded, watched Yan Zuozuo leave, then his eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice, "Come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Stephen walked over from the seats behind them. He sat down opposite him and smiled, "I really don't see what's so good about Yan Zuozuo that even the usually aloof young master has fallen for her."

Yi Fanxi remained silent for a while, ignoring his teasing, and said calmly, "When the time comes, just say that you know Yan Zuozuo, so you sold it to her."

Stephen clicked his tongue twice: "You've ruined my carefully planned show. How am I supposed to explain this to the other side?"

"I'll handle it for you. Just do less of this kind of thing in the future!" Yi Fanxi glanced at him, finished the last sip of her coffee, and left.

Stephen shrugged and sighed deliberately, saying, "Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman."

Yi Fanxi's expression darkened. Without saying a word, he pushed open the door of the coffee shop and left.

Yan Zuozuo arrived at the police station as promised, waiting for the others to appear. Of course, Shang Xiaoguo was with her. Shang Xiaoguo was very nervous, pacing back and forth, her fingers icy cold.

Finally, the time arrived, and several men in uniforms appeared before them. "Mrs. Chi, Miss Shang, hello. I think you already know the ins and outs of the matter. You will be questioned separately in a moment. Given Ou Luhan's special status, she is currently being questioned in another location. You don't need to worry. As long as you tell the truth, we will naturally handle the matter impartially."

Yan Zuozuo nodded without saying anything more. Clearly, Shang Xiaoguo wanted to speak, but Yan Zuozuo stopped her, saying, "Don't worry, since Young Master Ou is innocent, I believe they will definitely give him justice."

Shang Xiaoguo nodded, but her hands were still trembling slightly.
