Xia Yuanfang continued, "Your aunt will earn money for you to go to university. I've saved all the money you gave me last time. When you go to Beichen Star for university, we'll find a way to buy a house and pay the down payment there."
Xia Chujian was taken aback, "Aunt, so you look down on the high-end, fully furnished high-rise apartments in the next district!"
Xia Yuanfang scoffed, "No matter how good the houses there are, aren't they still in the same place as our house? Even the high school isn't as good as here, it's not worth it... Chujian, let me tell you, the three key factors for buying a house are location, location, and location."
"What location is better than Beichen Star, where the Imperial City is located?"
Xia Chujian's lips twitched, "Aunt, to be honest, I was feeling a bit cocky, thinking I was at least a wealthy person... but after you said that, I realized I'm still pretty poor."
Xia Yuanfang patted her head, "It's good that you know you're poor. That way, you'll be motivated to earn money, right?"
Xia Chujian made a face and changed the subject, "Aunt, where are you going to open this Reproductive Assistance Studio? You're not going to Beichen Star too, are you?"
Xia Yuanfang shook her head, "Of course not. I'll stay in Mulan City. This is where I have the best experimental subjects to work with. Oh, right, I've added Aunt Chen too, she'll be our partner."
"Brilliant! That's a brilliant move!" Xia Chujian gave Xia Yuanfang a thumbs up.
With Aunt Chen around, Xia Yuanfang's security would be guaranteed.
After the two finished discussing, Xia Chujian transferred 200,000 star coins to Xia Yuanfang as start-up funds, and then gave her the remaining 800,000 star coins as living expenses.
She knew they wouldn't need that much money, but she was used to Xia Yuanfang being the head of the family, so she gave most of the money to Xia Yuanfang.
Of course, it was also because Xia Yuanfang was opening a studio, and the budget was only 100,000 star coins. She gave her 200,000 star coins, but who knew if she would need more money? Xia Chujian just considered it a precaution.
Moreover, she secretly hoped that Xia Yuanfang would be busier, so she wouldn't have too much time to keep an eye on her studying...
As soon as she thought of the word "studying," Xia Yuanfang, as if knowing what she was thinking, said slowly, "I've prepared a few sets of test papers for you. You should do them all during the remaining days of your vacation."
Xia Chujian: "..."
She decided that she couldn't even think of the word "studying" in the future!
...
Guiyuan Star, Da Fu Prefecture, Special Security Bureau branch.
On the second day of the new year, Huo Yushen's secretary, Meng Guanghui, came here to specifically interrogate Fan Bowei and Fan Chengqi, father and son.
Hu Meihang and other relevant personnel from the Governor's Office were taken to the Special Security Bureau headquarters on Beichen Star for interrogation, but the Fan Family and others were still detained at the Special Security Bureau branch on Guiyuan Star.
Meng Guanghui had actually complained about why they weren't all taken to Beichen Star, but Huo Yushen ignored him.
Therefore, he only dared to complain and didn't dare to openly defy Huo Yushen.
Arriving at the Special Security Bureau's branch in Da Fu Prefecture, Meng Guanghui chose an interrogation room on the third floor.
This interrogation room was not the most heavily guarded interrogation room in the Special Security Bureau branch, but it was the closest to the detention room.
However, there was no internet here, and no wireless communication devices were allowed.
The entire interrogation process could not be broadcast live, and could only be recorded using traditional, old-fashioned optical video equipment.
After Meng Guanghui set up the optical recording equipment, he said to the staff here, "Bring Fan Chengqi here first."
Soon, Fan Chengqi, looking pale, was brought in.
He was secured to a special interrogation chair, with shackles on his hands and feet.
Meng Guanghui saw that the once glamorous young master of the Fan Family now looked like a street vagrant.
His hair hadn't been washed for only two days, but it was so greasy that flies could slip on it.
His clothes, which were originally designer brands, looked wrinkled and like pickled vegetables because no one had taken care of them.
Especially his face, which used to look handsome and masculine, was now not only haggard and dark, but also covered with a beard.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his cheeks were deeply sunken, as if he hadn't eaten.
He sat on the special interrogation chair, his hands cuffed on the small table attached to the chair, and his spirit was completely gone.
Meng Guanghui nodded in satisfaction.
It seemed that the colleagues at the Special Security Bureau branch had "treated" this person very well.
Their Special Security Bureau basically didn't use "corporal punishment," unless the other party was too stubborn.
And Fan Chengqi clearly wasn't the "tough-guy" type.
Starve him for two days, and don't let him sleep, and he'd break down.
Meng Guanghui then picked up the materials and said blandly, "Fan Chengqi, how many of your brother's murder cases did you take the blame for?"
Fan Chengqi's eyes darted around, wanting to deny it, but he finally gave up and said weakly, "Don't you already know? Why are you asking me?"
"...I just want to hear you say it." Meng Guanghui said with a friendly smile, picking up his coffee and taking a sip.
Fan Chengqi shook his head: "I don't remember. Anyway, those cases, either I did them, or he did them, does it matter who did what?"
"So you acknowledge this investigation file?" Meng Guanghui took out a printed document and placed it in front of Fan Chengqi.
Fan Chengqi only looked at the summary on the first page and nodded, "Yes, that's right, that's how it is."
Then he put a handprint on it.
Meng Guanghui asked him some more questions before finally asking, "Whose second-hand goods did your family's Private Starship buy from?"
Fan Chengqi yawned and said listlessly, "The Rong Family."
"Is that the Rong Family with the Marquis title?"
"Yes, my eldest aunt married into the Marquis Rong Family, she helped our Fan Family a lot..."
"So your Private Starship was bought second-hand from the Rong Family." Meng Guanghui made a note on a document, then asked, "At the end of last year, your family's Private Starship flew three times in total. Do you remember why you left Guiyuan Star each time?"
Fan Chengqi said blankly, "I remember, the first time was to send my brother... to Cangge Star to attend Quan Caiwei's coming-of-age ceremony."
"The second time was when my mother went back to her maiden home, she is from Beichen Star."
"The third time..."
Fan Chengqi paused, "The third time was..."
Just as he was about to speak, his eyeballs suddenly bulged out, and his neck seemed to be strangled, making him unable to breathe or speak.
His face quickly turned from pale to blood red, and then to purplish-red.
This series of changes took less than a second from beginning to end.
Meng Guanghui immediately reacted, and his massive Mental Strength overflowed outwards, but before it reached Fan Chengqi, Fan Chengqi's head tilted, and he slumped on the interrogation chair, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Meng Guanghui moved and quickly rushed to the door of the interrogation room.
He opened the door, revealing a long corridor with no one in sight.
His mind raced, and Meng Guanghui looked at the window opposite the interrogation room.
He rushed back into the interrogation room, came to the window, and only saw a person wearing a gray top hat and a gray Exotic Beast Fur Coat sneaking away downstairs.
Before Meng Guanghui could sound the alarm, the Special Security Bureau elites ambushing not far away swarmed up.
"Close the base gate! An enemy has broken in!"
Immediately afterward, the alarm sounded throughout the branch base, and Meng Guanghui opened the window and jumped down from the third floor.
With so many people surrounding him, the person, seeing that he couldn't escape, turned back and gave Meng Guanghui a strange smile, then directly took out a gun and pointed it at his temple.
Bang! A gunshot rang out, a hole appeared in the person's temple, and the whole person fell into a pool of blood.
In order not to be caught by the Special Security Bureau, this person actually committed suicide.
Meng Guanghui walked to the person's body with a livid face.
He had just tried to use his Mental Strength to control the person, but the person's Mental Strength was actually on par with his!
Who was so generous as to use a Rank S Gene Evolver as a suicide bomber!
Meng Guanghui thought of Fan Bowei, who had not yet been interrogated, and suddenly turned around and jumped back to the third floor.
Sure enough, Fan Bowei was already dead in the detention room, with the same cause of death as Fan Chengqi, both of them were attacked by a Mental Strength expert, causing their brains to lose vitality.
Meng Guanghui stood at the door of the detention room, saw Fan Bowei dying in the corner, and slammed his fist on the door of the detention room!
He had underestimated the enemy! This was originally the plan that Huo Yushen had asked him to formulate before leaving, because Huo Yushen was sure that the person who took away the abducted girl would definitely send someone to deal with the Fan Family father and son, cutting off all possible clues.
Based on this, Meng Guanghui formulated a detailed action plan, including transferring seven or eight elite members of the Special Security Bureau's Action Division.
Among them, the lowest were Rank A peak Mental Strength experts, and there were two Rank S. Including Meng Guanghui, they had a total of three Rank S experts. They had already widened the encirclement to lure the snake out of its hole, but they were still outsmarted! Just then, a voice from a subordinate of the Special Security Bureau branch sounded in the earpiece, saying, "Colonel Meng, Fan Family's family head's wife, Shang Qizhen, is at the entrance of the station. She wants to see her husband and son."
Meng Guanghui was upset and didn't want to see her, raising his hand to say, "No one is to be seen today."
The subordinate said with difficulty, "Madam Shang has been crying here for a while... saying that if we don't let her see her husband and son, she will go to Beichen Star, find the Senate, find the Cabinet, find His Majesty the Emperor..."
Meng Guanghui was already angry because he had botched the mission. Hearing Shang Qizhen's words, he immediately said, "Fine! Let her come, let her come to the interrogation room!"
Soon, Shang Qizhen, wearing a white Exotic Beast Fur Coat, walked over with a pale face.
Her eyes were red and swollen, she must have been crying for a long time.
"Colonel Meng, I know my husband and son are guilty, but it's New Year's, can't you let me spend the New Year with them?" Shang Qizhen said with a weak expression.
Meng Guanghui sat in the interrogation room, looked at Shang Qizhen, and said coldly, "Madam Shang, don't pretend in the Special Security Bureau. A woman who is decisive in killing, who can have her fiancé killed in order to marry into a wealthy family, would never just cry and sob."
Shang Qizhen, who was sobbing, suddenly stopped, lowered her head in a panic, and said, "Colonel Meng, I... I don't know what you're talking about..."
Meng Guanghui snorted.
In order to investigate the Fan Family, their Special Security Bureau had thoroughly investigated the Fan Family, from their ancestors who rose to prominence five hundred years ago to their current direct family members.
"Do we need to present evidence?" Meng Guanghui knocked on the table with his hand, his face cold. "Although our Special Security Bureau doesn't handle these trivial criminal cases, I think your former fiancé's family would be very interested..."
Shang Qizhen shivered, became honest, and lowered her head, saying, "Colonel Meng, I just want to see my husband and son. If you don't allow me to see them, then forget it..."
