Shen Wanci moved back to Yuting Courtyard. The flowers in the living room had been made into everlasting flowers by Chen Xu, for fear of upsetting her emotions, they were put in an idle room on the second floor.

Knowing she was coming back, the maid had cleaned inside and out, and changed the sheets.

It was late, and Shen Wanci didn't have the energy to sort through the several large boxes of belongings she had brought from her apartment. She had only intended to bring some daily necessities; clothes and other items were already at Yu Ting Courtyard, but Meng Yufan insisted on packing everything for her.

It was a nice apartment, completely trashed like locusts had swept through it. The only things left were the landlord's original furniture; everything else, even the trash, had been taken down and thrown out.

Shen Wanci hastily showered and climbed into bed.

The next day.

She was woken up by the ringing phone. She had gone to bed too late last night and was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes, her thoughts were a jumble: "Hello, who is it?"

"Haven't you woken up yet?"

The sound seemed familiar. She pondered for a long time, then it finally dawned on her…

"Dad."

Shen Wanci took her phone and glanced at the time, it was exactly nine o'clock.

"Master Jiang II: 'Jiang Yi has been released from prison.'"

"Wasn't she... sentenced to two years?"

Just a few days after returning from the sea, Jiang Yi was taken away by the police. She was accused by people she had bullied in the past and brought to court. With all the evidence against her, she was sentenced to two years in prison.

Time was tight and the verdict came quickly. Whether or not Ginger Second Master had a hand in it, she didn't know, nor did she ask.

"She got out of prison, and I only received the news today. It wasn't a normal reduction in sentence, it was through connections. According to what the guards said, Ginger Five's secretary went to the prison to pick her up, and she was also on the boat at the time."

“...”

Shen Wanci furrowed her brow thoughtfully. Ginger Fifth Master had died, yet he was alive. And now he could even take Ginger Yihe away from prison.

Uncle Ginger's expression was serious: "I suspect he is from Ji Siyuan. He suddenly took Ginger Yihe away, so he must have something up his sleeve. Remind someone to be more careful and not fall into a trap. I've been investigating recently, and on the surface, Ji Siyuan seems like nothing special, but the people and resources behind him are incredibly deep. It would be impossible without decades of accumulation."

"Okay."

"To be honest, you should reconsider. Three-legged frogs are hard to find in this world, but two-legged men aren't exactly rare. Wasn't it just the other day you said he was used as a guinea pig and fed medicine for a while? Maybe his body already has problems. Following him, who knows, you might end up taking care of a sick person later on."

I've been in Kyoto lately and I've met a lot of capable and resourceful men. I've got their contact information, if you're interested, I can give it to you. There are even photos! You can pick one that catches your eye and ask them out for dinner. Even if you still like William Soong, you could choose a few as backups, right? You won't know what's good until you compare!

" "..." Shen Wanci turned over and smiled, "When they gave you their contact information, did they know you were going to play matchmaker for them? Did they know that the person you were finding for them was a divorced woman?"

“In this day and age, it doesn't matter if someone has been married before. What matters is that your values align. Those other things are insignificant. Besides, I'm Jiang Wenxiao’s daughter. No one is good enough for me! Who dares to nitpick and be picky about you? You’re so beautiful, capable, and famous. They would be lucky to be with you.”

Shen Wanci gave up trying to explain the truth to Ginger Second Master, who was obsessed with his daughter. In his heart, she felt that even finding a prince would be more than enough: "… Alright, alright, you're right. But I don't want a backup plan. You should just stop trying to get in touch with me and take pictures."

Otherwise, she's probably going to end up like Qin Yuezhi, being called a "Sea King" by everyone.

"Dad, after you retire, you could consider opening a matchmaking agency. With all those connections and photos of second-generation officials, military personnel, and wealthy individuals on your phone, you'd definitely have enough to make it public."

After making a couple of jokes, Shen Wanci hung up the phone and told Meng Yu about Jiang Yi's release from prison, asking him to pass the information on to Bo Jingzhou.

After doing all of that, she fell asleep again for a long while. When she woke up, the weather had changed.

All major financial news outlets are reporting that Lu has been implicated in an illegal fundraising financial scandal. The person in charge, Lu Yanchi, is now missing. Lu's doors have been swarmed by creditors demanding payment.

This thunderclap came as a complete surprise, shocking Kyoto's entire high society.

Yesterday, he was still the talk of the town, a future star touted as the one who could dethrone the Bo family from their pedestal. Today, he's become a pariah, a fallen angel. The once bustling company is now deserted, with creditors, disgruntled employees, and reporters all swarming the entrance, their cries echoing for miles, creating a scene straight out of hell.

Shen Wanci suddenly sat up from the bed, looked at the date displayed on her phone, and confirmed that it was today.

She was terrified; she thought she had slept for a week.

How could this happen so suddenly? I vaguely felt that he was going to make a move when I chatted with Bo Jingzhou last night, but I didn't expect it to be this fast. And is this Bo Jingzhou's plan, or Ji Siyuan's plan?

Bao Jingzhou is now the head of Lu Shi, the CEO. With what happened to Lu Shi, he is responsible, and it's a case of self-inflicted harm even if they lose. Although Lu Shi is gone, for illegal fundraising, he will also go to jail.

Unless someone could take the fall for this completely afterward, who would it be? The Lu family? Ji Siyuan? But without his signature, how could those people have raised so much money?

And the news said that he can't be found anywhere right now.

Shen Wanci's mind was in a mess, but her hands didn't stop moving. She called Bo Rongxuan, and the other party also didn't know the specific situation, saying that he was still investigating: "Wanci, don't worry too much, you have to believe Jingzhou."

This was probably said to comfort her, or maybe it was just meant to comfort himself.

"Good."

Shen Wanci replied with a sound and then hung up the phone.

She believed in Bo Jingzhou, but before she knew the whole story, she couldn't just stay at home and wait for news without worrying. She found Meng Yu's phone number and called, but no one answered.

Hearing the busy tone on the other end, her heart grew increasingly frantic.

She then questioned Gu Chenye, who was closest to Bo Jingzhou, wanting to uncover all of Ji Siyuan's connections. Relying on Lu Yanchi's current status wouldn't be enough; he would definitely need to collaborate with someone, and Gu Chenye was his best option.

The Gu family is a renowned and influential clan with connections across all sectors of society. Their roots run deep, and they are the best of brothers.

Although she didn't have much hope, since Bo Jingzhou hadn't told her about it, Gu Chenye, who was as close to him as brothers, definitely wouldn't tell her either. But if she didn't ask, she would always hold onto a sliver of hope and be unwilling to let go.
