Chapter 1029: 727 Aria_2

Every family has its own difficult scripture to recite.

As expected.

"Write down all the suspects you can think of, I’ll give you an hour."

Fang Jun adjusted his cuffs and, after speaking, was about to head out when suddenly, he stopped.

"What about the driver?"

"I gave him time off."

"Give me his address."

Fang Ai’s eyebrows furrowed, "What are you planning to do?"

Fang Jun just gave her a glance, that cold look in his eyes made even Fang Ai’s heart tremble.

But she was asking a question to which she already knew the answer.

As his elder sister, how could she not understand Fang Jun’s character?

Everyone must take responsibility for their actions.

Fang Ai had caused trouble, and someone cleaned up after her, but that white driver had to shoulder it himself.

The foreigner might not have heard that old saying from Shenzhou, "Lust is a knife over one’s head."

Not every woman can be slept with, even if she consents.

In this regard, Lou Jingjiang was quite lucid.

Fang Ai understood that the death of her beloved chauffeur was assured, yet she made no pleas for mercy.

Even as spouses are like birds in the same forest who fly separately when disaster strikes, men in her eyes were nothing more than playthings or tools.

"Send it to me as soon as you are done."

Fang Jun walked to the door, turned the knob, and left.

Downstairs.

Ding He was waiting.

As his brother-in-law, he still could not forgo propriety.

"I’ve had the kitchen prepare something, stay for dinner."

"I’m busy with other matters."

Fang Jun did not appreciate the gesture.

Ding He wasn’t surprised, he had thought the other party might leave directly, but what happened next was unexpected.

Fang Jun turned his head and, out of the blue, said something more.

"Keep your wife in check."

Ding He was taken aback, and before he could ask anything, Fang Jun had already walked away.

"Sir, Mr. Fang has left, shall we still prepare the meal?"

The nanny came over.

The unwitting Ding He collected himself and said indifferently, "If he won’t eat, doesn’t mean the Lady and I won’t, does it?"

As the male head of the household, he still had some authority.

After giving the servants a simple command, Ding He settled back down on the couch, pondering over the meaningful words Fang Jun had said upon leaving.

Keep your wife in check.

What did it mean?

Given the situation of their family, wouldn’t the supposed brother-in-law understand?

But she was a daughter of the Fang Family, did he have the power to control her?

It wasn’t that he was inherently weak.

Ding He was well aware that if he did exert his authority as a husband and reminded Fang Ai to adhere to the millennia-old principle of ’the husband guides the wife,’ the first person to deal with him would likely be that brother-in-law.

Opportunities to meet were scarce, and even when they did occur, that brother-in-law, who could turn the skies of the Capital City inside out, would never speak more than necessary to him.

As a leading lawyer, how could Ding He not sense the anomaly?

Sitting on the couch and reflecting for a while, he called over the housekeeper who was in charge of the affairs inside and outside of the entire mansion.

No matter how she did as she pleased, Fang Ai still kept a tight grip on Ding He, her husband.

In enforcing the word ’control,’ she did quite well.

All the servants who served the couple were exclusively middle-aged and older women, all above the age of forty-five.

Of course.

It could be that servants of this age are more professional in service delivery.

"Is the Lady unwell?"

Ding He asked nonchalantly.

He must be too caught up in his work if he had to ask the servants whether his own wife was ill or not.

"No. The Lady is very healthy."

"Then why has she been staying in her room all the time recently?"

"Sir, I’m not clear on that matter."

Ding He wasn’t surprised.

He understood all too well the servants’ attitudes toward him.

In this household, Fang Ai’s word was law, and she did take her duty towards him, her husband, quite seriously. Yet, whenever he asked a question, he was almost always met with ignorance.

"Go and tell the Lady to come down and have dinner later."

The female housekeeper responded with a stolid face, "The Lady said that she doesn’t allow anyone to disturb her."

"Then, send the meal up to her later."

It had to be admitted that, as a husband, Ding He was quite competent.

"If the lady feels like eating, she will notify us, sir. You don’t need to worry."

Ding He frowned slightly.

Not eating, not showing up, what on earth was she doing in her room?

For an ordinary couple, it would be no big deal to go up and check, but in this house, it wasn’t so easily done.

"Then, be on standby. If the Lady gets hungry, send it up immediately."

The female housekeeper nodded.

"By the way, where’s Veatch? How come I haven’t seen him for a few days?"

Ding He seemed to ask casually.

Veatch.

That was the white driver.

Ordinarily in charge of Fang Ai’s transportation, he spent more time with Fang Ai than her own husband did.

"Veatch is on leave."

This shouldn’t be a question without an answer.

"On leave?"

Could this be the reason why Fang Ai hasn’t gone out much in the past few days? Because she lacked a driver?

"The Lady gave him leave."

Ding He wanted to ask more, but he knew it wasn’t quite appropriate to inquire too much about a driver.

"Alright, go on with your duties."

The female housekeeper left.

The indescribable odd feeling in Ding He’s heart grew stronger. He felt that something was off, but after much thought, he still had no clue.

Suddenly.

The alarm rang.

Ding He could only set aside his concerns temporarily, collect his emotions, and open the laptop placed on the coffee table.

Minutes later, the international video call connected.

"Mister Rodna, you’re looking younger and younger."

Ding He smiled broadly.

The person appearing in the video, a foreigner with a full bearded face, was a senior executive from a German enterprise. As a domestic major law firm, it naturally had international clients to attend to.

"Ding, since I met you in Shenzhou two years ago, I’ve really liked you. You’re eloquent and I feel reassured giving you my cases."

"Thank you for your trust, Mister Rodna. I will not let you down. Now, let’s discuss the case details."

The video call lasted for more than twenty minutes. Apart from his personal life, Ding He was indeed diligent and outstanding in his work.

"Ding, I knew it, choosing you was definitely no mistake."

Rodna couldn’t stop praising.

Ding He, neither arrogant nor restless, said with a smile, "Mister Rodna, when will you be available? How about next week? If it’s convenient for you, I’ll bring my team over to meet with your company."

"No problem, I am free anytime."

"Great, I’ll confirm the time on my end and then inform you."

Leaving Shenzhou would at least allow him to break free from the tense atmosphere and take a breather.

"Ding, my friend, I can hardly wait to meet with you. I’ll show you just how passionate our German beauties can be."

Rodna wore a grin that men universally understand.

Appetite and lust are innate.

Men are the same everywhere, regardless of nationality.

Ding He tensed slightly, knowing that although their exchange was in German, it didn’t guarantee that the servants couldn’t understand. If word got to Fang Ai, the already calm waters might stir into waves again, potentially ruining this significant international deal.

"Mister Rodna, thank you for the offer, but I am married."

"Ding, marriage is the grave of love; we must not let matrimony bind us. You should learn more from your compatriots. Oh, and here I must offer you a sincere apology. I used to think the ancient Shenzhou was a feudal and conservative country, but now I see I was wrong. It turns out your Shenzhou women are also so bold, so passionate."

Listening to the arias coming from the computer, Ding He was a bit baffled.

"Mister Rodna, I’m somewhat confused by what you mean."

"Ding? You don’t know? Lately, all of us here are discussing it; many people are getting interested in making a trip to Shenzhou for sightseeing."

Rodna revealed a meaningful smile, "No worries, I’ll send it to you."

Below the video window, a video file was quickly sent, presumably for easy enjoyment saved on the computer.

Due to cultural and social norms difference, these foreign dignitaries and magnates tend to be more libertine.

"Ding, are all your Shenzhou’s women this fair? And the skin, it’s really so good..."

Out of respect for the client, Ding He opened the video. Instantly, his pupils constricted sharply, his mind went blank, and Rodna’s voice in the video gradually weakened and became indistinct.
