Ying Yuexuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhong Manhua was on the phone.
At least, she did not have to listen to Zhong Manhua's complaints.
She prepared to go back to the bedroom to rest.
However, she had only taken two steps when she heard Zhong Manhua's question in disbelief.
"What? Beg Ying Zijin? Are you crazy or did I hear wrongly? "
Ying Yuexuan stopped in her tracks and turned around in confusion. "Mom?"
"What IBI?" Zhong Manhua seemed to have heard a joke. "What do you think IBI is? A wet market? Do you think I don't know that IBI is the General Bureau of International Investigation? "
"Alright, Yuan Lisi, you are already divorced from my third brother and are no longer part of the Zhong Family. Why should I help you?"
"Alright, even if you are still my third sister-in-law, I will never beg Ying Zijin. Never in this lifetime."
Upon hearing this, Ying Yuexuan knew who Zhong Manhua was talking to.
It was Zhong Zhiwan's mother, Mrs. Zhong.
She also knew that Zhong Zhiwan had been sent out of the country by Old Mr. Zhong, and Mrs. Zhong had been chased out of the Zhong Family.
After all, without Mrs. Zhong's "teachings", Zhong Zhiwan would not have gotten to where he was today.
When she was young, it wasn't as if Zhong Zhiwan hadn't done anything to her.
"You are so funny." Zhong Manhua did not want to hear it anymore. "If she has the ability, I will cut off my head and give it to you. You want me to beg her? Where will I put my face then? "
With that, she hung up the phone without waiting for Mrs. Zhong to say anything.
"Xiao Xuan, I don't know if your ex-aunt's brain was damaged after she left your grandfather's house." Zhong Manhua calmed herself down and sneered. "She actually told me that your sister asked IBI to arrest her. Don't you think that's funny?"
IBI, General Bureau of International Investigations!
Only major international events could alert the higher-ups of IBI.
Outside of the Zhong family, not many people knew Mrs. Zhong.
"Sister?" Ying Yuexuan was slightly stunned, "Sister is related to IBI?"
"What does it have to do with anything?" Zhong Manhua's expression was cold. "If you really want to talk about it, it's just that IBI helped Zhong Group issue a clarification statement."
"But that's because it involves an international theft case. The culprit is also a repeat offender. Moreover, IBI is helping the Zhong Group. What does it have to do with her?"
She shook her head and continued, "That's why I said that your ex-aunt's brain is damaged. Who does she think your sister is? How could he have any relationship with IBI? Are you worthy? "
Ying Yuexuan thought about it and agreed.
IBI was not something that ordinary people could come into contact with. Even the four richest families in Hu City had no access to.
Perhaps only the top families in the capital were lucky enough to meet IBI agents and international police.
"Then what happened to Auntie?" Ying Yuexuan asked hesitantly, "Was she really arrested by IBI?"
"Maybe." Zhong Manhua smiled nonchalantly. "She's never been a nimble person to begin with. Who knows what she's done?"
Ying Yuexuan nodded and did not ask any more questions.

On the other side.
Ningchuan.
After Zhong Manhua hung up the phone, Mrs. Zhong felt her body turn cold inch by inch. She was so cold that she shivered.
Originally, she and Mrs. Fang had been drinking tea and chatting. They had heard the commotion outside, but they did not think much of it.
It would be strange if the Fangs did not have any enemies knocking on their door.
However, Mrs. Zhong did not expect that before Ying Zijin came to beg her, she would receive news that she had been arrested.
The ones who had issued the arrest warrant were IBI!
Mrs. Zhong almost fainted when she heard this.
She was capable, but she was just a rich lady. She had never been in the business world and had never seen such a scene.
She did not know if Ying Zijin had any relationship with IBI. However, she thought that as long as Ying Zijin did not pursue the matter, IBI could not do anything to her.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhong called Zhong Manhua for help.
However, not only did Zhong Manhua not help her, but she also did not believe her.
Mrs. Zhong's hands were trembling.
She knew that she could not call Old Mr. Zhong.
With Old Mr. Zhong's preference for Ying Zijin, not only would he not ask Ying Zijin to let her go, but he would also add fuel to the fire.
Fang Zhicheng's heart was also as dead as ashes.
They were under house arrest in this manor. Once IBI was ready, they would carry out their orders.
Fang Zhicheng had been in the business world for so many years, but this time, he had failed. He could not calm down at all.
He suddenly grabbed Mrs. Zhong's shoulder and said in a trembling voice, "Didn't you say that Wen Tinglan and the others have no background? Huh?! "
"Why did IBI come? Why?! "
Mrs. Zhong's expression was blank. She was extremely terrified.
"How did you find them?" Fang Zhicheng was so angry that his heart and lungs were about to explode. "This is great. Not only can Tong Tong's illness not be cured, but the Fang family is also doomed!"
With IBI's ability, as long as they noticed him, they would be able to investigate everything he had done in the past, no matter how secretive he was.
He would definitely not be able to escape one after another.
"How would I know?" Mrs. Zhong's hands and feet were cold. "She came from a small county. Her father and younger brother are both sick. If they were not brought to Hu City by Family Ying, they would not even have enough to eat …"
If Ying Zijin had not left Family Ying and lost the protection of Family Ying, she would not have dared to do anything.
Fang Zhicheng's face was gloomy and he did not speak.
At this moment, the door to the living room opened.
It was the young agent who came in.
His gaze fell on Madam Zhong, and he smiled meaningfully. "Yuan Lisi, right? The higher-ups specifically asked for you. Make a trip."

When Ying Zijin woke up, it was already noon the next day.
Her eyelashes fluttered. A few seconds later, she opened her eyes.
The window was covered by curtains, blocking the strong sunlight.
She held onto the edge of the bed and sat up.
After looking around, her thoughts were slow. It took her a long time to remember that she was in her own bedroom.
There was a cup of water on the bedside table. Ying Zijin touched it and found that it was still warm.
She took a sip and felt a faint salty taste.
It was a cup of light salt water.
After drinking it, she got out of bed, changed her clothes, and opened the door.
In the living room.
Wen Fengmian and Wen Tinglan were sitting at the dining table. There were bowls and chopsticks next to them.
It was no different from usual.
Ying Zijin pressed her head and relaxed a little. She walked over.
"Yaoyao, you're awake." When he saw her, Wen Fengmian waved his hand. "Sit down. Yunshen said that you used too much energy and need to nourish yourself."
Ying Zijin's expression froze. Her gaze swept across the dining table. When she found that there was no pork liver, she nodded. "I was too careless."
After a pause, she asked, "Dad, no one came after I left, right?"
She had to use her divination ability less. Otherwise, her energy consumption would be even greater.
"Yes." Wen Fengmian served her a bowl of soup. "It's a professor from the Computer Science Department of the Imperial Capital University. He wants to recruit Xiao Lan."
Ying Zijin was deep in thought.
It was not that she did not notice that Wen Fengmian had been avoiding the Imperial Capital.
This was part of the reason why Wen Tinglan agreed to go to Norton University so quickly.
"Dad, I'm going out." After eating, Ying Zijin got up. "I'll be back tonight."
Wen Fengmian frowned. "Yaoyao, your body …"
"It's fine. I'm just exhausted. I'll make up for it with some sleep."
Hearing this, Wen Fengmian did not want to stop her. He said, "Okay. Be careful. If anything happens, remember to call me."
He looked at the girl's back as she left, but his brows were still furrowed.
After a while, he sighed softly.
He hoped that the Imperial Capital would not notice.
What Wen Fengmian did not know was that Fu Yunshen's car was waiting downstairs.
Ying Zijin sat in the front passenger seat, fastened her seatbelt, and closed her eyes slightly. "Thank you."
She expected that she might not be able to save Wen Tinglan from the Fang family alone. So, after getting on the helicopter, she sent Fu Yunshen a WeChat message.
However, she did not expect that he would ask IBI to send someone over.
It was truly a waste of talent to use it for petty purposes.
Fu Yunshen did not respond. He turned the steering wheel and asked, "Yaoyao, did you drink the saline?"
"Yes." Ying Zijin thought for a while. "It didn't taste good."
"Good medicine tastes bitter." Fu Yunshen smiled and said casually, "Little kid, do you understand this principle?"
Ying Zijin heard this and turned her head. "Did you add anything else besides salt?"
When she got up, her head was still a little dizzy. She drank it too quickly and only the salty taste remained on her taste buds.
"A kind of Chinese medicine." Fu Yunshen nodded and smiled. "It's good for the body."
He did not say what medicine it was and said, "Yuan Lisi has been arrested. I'll take you to see her."
Yuan Lisi was Mrs. Zhong's real name.
Ying Zijin's eyes wavered a little. "Okay."
**
Thirty minutes later.
The Maserati stopped in front of a building.
This building looked very ordinary, but it was actually an IBI stronghold.
However, there was usually no one on duty here.
Mrs. Zhong was brought here last night.
For a day and a night, she only ate a piece of dry bread and drank a glass of water. Now, she did not even have the strength to speak.
Her phone had also been taken away, so there was no way for her to call for help.
Mrs. Zhong had never experienced such an experience. Just as she was about to go crazy, the door opened.
The person who came was an international policeman from IBI.
He looked at Mrs. Zhong coldly. "The officer wants to see you."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhong's body trembled and she was even more afraid.
However, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk out. She was brought to an interrogation room.
Mrs. Zhong suppressed her fear and looked up at the other side.
