Chapter 1405: Chapter 807: Young People Are Too Open-Minded, The Difference Between Sister-in-law and Wife (Second Update)

On the second day of Si Qingxiao’s long journey to find her husband...

Si Yushan received word that the two were staying at the Yan Family’s place. Jiang Chengsi was somewhat overwhelmed, dealing with the troublesome Yan gentleman in the daytime and a sweet-as-honey Mr. Xiaoyan at night.

The father and son had completely opposite personalities, but they both shared one trait.

Very troublesome.

Before bed, he insisted that Si Qingxiao tell him a bedtime story. The Yan Family arranged two rooms for them. Unable to sleep, Jiang Chengsi planned to take a stroll by the sea, but ran into Mr. Yan.

"Not resting yet?" This Mr. Yan was a completely different kind of person compared to Si Yushan. Si Yushan was dignified and elegant, while he was typically expressionless, only showing slight tenderness towards his son and deep affection for his wife.

"Can’t sleep, wanted to go for a walk."

"I’ll join you."

"..."

The intended relaxing walk was forcefully turned into a business finance study session.

During his stay at the Yan Family, Jiang Chengsi hardly slept well. However, this Mr. Yan wasn’t as rigid and unfeeling as he appeared. Knowing Si Qingxiao could only stay a few days, he tried to compress work conversation to leave them more time for dating.

Nanjiang was different from Beijing; not many people knew them. The two behaved like ordinary couples, having dinner, going on dates, and shopping.

Yuan, the assistant, had a rough time.

Initially a private assistant handling mainly business matters, now at his age he had to moonlight as a detective and paparazzo.

He was tasked with monitoring their every move by his boss, using all his might to avoid detection.

Jiang Chengsi was indifferent to others’ perceptions, often doing things that someone his age would find cringeworthy, like kissing Si Qingxiao on the street.

He, on the other hand, turned crimson with embarrassment.

Simply too much to witness!

What’s with the youth these days? Can’t they consider the influence they have in public places?

He frequently found himself force-fed dog food. When the couple returned to the hotel and stayed in their room, he had no way to enter nor know what they were doing, sometimes staying for the whole night with even meals ordered as takeout.

He couldn’t report such matters to Si Yushan, so he chose to avoid the main issues, reporting only irrelevant details.

...

During Jiang Chengsi’s absence from Beijing, things weren’t quite peaceful. The winds of crackdown swept across, with several bars opting to close to avoid trouble, waiting for the storm to pass before reopening.

Jiang Chengsi’s place was always clean, never having issues. As other bars closed, his bar’s business became extraordinarily bustling.

With more people, hands tend to become mischievous, and trouble is bound to occur.

Normal drunken brawls are trivial, and managers can usually handle them without needing to alarm Jiang Chengsi.

"Manager." Someone dashed into his office.

"What’s wrong? Another drunk causing trouble?"

"No, Young Master Geng is here."

"Geng?" The manager frowned. "Geng Dong?"

Everyone in the circle knew that Geng Dong quit racing due to Jiang Chengsi, bearing a grudge, so he’d never frequent Jiang Chengsi’s place. His sudden visit alerted the attendant who immediately informed the manager.

"How many came?"

"About seven or eight, both men and women, settled in a private room and ordered a lot of drink."

"Instruct everyone to serve cautiously, don’t give him a chance to pick a fight." The manager reminded.

"I will relay the instructions, should we inform Fourth Master about this?"

"Why tell him? He’s here to spend money, so treat him like a customer as long as there’s no troublemaking. Just remind everyone to be mindful." The manager was a bit distressed, with many bars closing lately, seeing Geng Dong here wasn’t surprising.

This person relied on a bit of family money and was usually quite arrogant; having suffered such a defeat before, he felt he wouldn’t swallow his pride easily.

The city was under strict crackdowns, a tiny slip might make one a target. With Fourth Master absent, it was up to him to safeguard the place.

Over on Geng Dong’s side, the attendant delivered the drinks, poured them upon inquiry, and retreated.

"Brother Dong, Fourth Master’s servers here seem quite nice."

Those with him believed Geng Dong no longer cared about past grievances, especially since Jiang Chengsi was the hotshot of Beijing now, the soon son-in-law of the Si Family, everyone sought to please him.

Should Geng Dong clash with him, he’d be foolish or reckless.

"Just saw that bartender was quite good-looking."

"Might come here often for fun."

...

Amidst drinking and joking, Geng Dong held his glass, deep in thought.

"Heard there’s another big crackdown in a few days?" Suddenly, he spoke, the woman leaning against him instantly sensed something amiss.

"Seems like it. Reports say it’s the last specific operation before the activity ends, so some bars close to avoid risk altogether, only Fourth Master backed by the Si Family remains unaffected, his place always clean, never encountering issues."

A few days ago, Jiang Chengsi shared photos of himself and his girlfriend enjoying a trip on social media, spreading around the circles.

Someone commented below, asking when he’d bring his partner back to Beijing, suggesting they should drink and eat together.

Jiang Chengsi bluntly replied, "[Currently not available.]"

Thus confirming he wouldn’t return to Beijing soon.

Geng Dong drank his glass in one gulp, the gleam in his eyes sinister.

The woman beside him, pondering internally, figured that if Geng Dong genuinely sought trouble with Jiang Chengsi, getting caught would mean his doom.

Under such circumstances, being involved with him might lead to her own entanglement.

He had some family wealth, fearlessly relying on it.

But she ought to secure herself a way out.

**

At this time, Lin Luyou received a call from the station chief, asking how her recovery was going.

"Alright, thanks for your concern." Lin Luyou spoke to the chief, naturally with courtesy.

"Your tone suggests Shiyi took good care of you."

Lin Luyou paused, how did it come to this, "Chief, what are you talking about..."

"I might be a bit older, but neither blind nor deaf, your situation isn’t just known throughout the station but even by the old man guarding the entrance."

"..."

"Besides, his leave reasoning was taking care of you. Did he fool me and not do it?"

"Not really." Lin Luyou had no idea Jiang Shiyi used such a bizarre excuse for leave.

"Soon, the entire city will have a crack down; the station hopes for our cooperation. You know, most at our station are seniors..." The chief’s call insinuated something else.

"You want me to go?"

"Actually it’s nothing urgent, they do the searches, and we assist in sampling or urine tests if necessary. This time covers a broad scope, they’re lacking personnel, wanting a few from us."

"When?"

"In three days, is your body up for it? It’s just one night, two to three hours, with no emergencies, you can resume your break post-activity."

"Alright." Lin Luyou was accustomed to work; suddenly idle, just those few days made her feel lazy and lethargic.

Her daily routine was eating, drinking, and sleeping, never realizing her yearning for sleep was so intense.

Even Jiang Shiyi jokingly queried if she planned to make up for all those years’ lost sleep.

Perhaps inactivity rendered her easily fatigued, a need for some work to keep herself busy.

She informed Jiang Shiyi of it, he merely acknowledged, knowing it was just a brief task; the police led the operation, she just assisted, with minimal risk.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you about something."

"What?" Lin Luyou looked at him.

"Your sister-in-law called when you were asleep. I said you’d get back to her when you wake."

"Tang Wan?" Lin Luyou frowned, thinking about owing her favors from the hospital scenario, wanting to repay, she immediately checked her phone.

Then noticed...

Tang Wan called two nights ago, two, three days have passed, yet he only just remembered to tell her.

"Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

"Forgot," he argued confidently.

Lin Luyou was frustrated, "Did you deliberately do this?" How Tang Wan might perceive her now.

"Not at all." Jiang Shiyi said directly, "She just wanted to invite you to go shopping or something, nothing significant, hence..."

"I didn’t concern myself with it."

"Plus, during that time, what occupied my mind was your health."

"..."

His remark made Lin Luyou speechless.

So Tang Wan received a response three days after calling Lin Luyou...
