Chapter 1224 Envy Once Again
Not long after returning home, Liu Meilan received a call from Qian Kun, "Don't tell me you've been kidnapped again?"
Hearing Liu Meilan's teasing, Qian Kun chuckled awkwardly, "How could I be so unlucky? Meilan, I called you to tell you that I just received a call from Officer Qin, who said that the security department has arrested Li Anna and is conducting a surprise interrogation!"
Liu Meilan was slightly taken aback. "You caught them so easily?"
Qian Kun sneered, "It seems the Qian family didn't want to see me die like this without knowing why. I guess they played a part in it!"
Liu Meilan suddenly realized, "Oh, I see! Where did you catch Li Anna?"
Qian Kun replied, "At Shanghai International Airport, Li Anna probably sensed something was wrong, interrupted her performance, and rushed to the airport, wanting to catch the earliest flight abroad! She was almost boarding when she was caught!"
"It's good that she's caught her!" Liu Meilan breathed a sigh of relief. "Now you can rest assured, right? Li Anna is no longer a threat!"
Qian Kun shook his head. "Capturing Li Anna certainly puts me at ease, but I still dare not let my guard down! Who can guarantee that she only hired one group of assassins and kidnappers? What if she hired several groups and suddenly shot me with a bullet, I would still be dead."
“You’ve got a point!” Liu Meilan sighed. “Like when I was assassinated several times, I suspected it was Liu Ruoshi who did it! She hired several groups of assassins to deal with me! Back then, she hoped that as long as I died, she could return to the Liu family!”
Qian Kun's expression grew even more serious. "Yes! That's why I told Officer Qin about this suspicion, hoping they could find out as much as possible during the interrogation!"
Liu Meilan encouraged him, "Life goes on. We'll deal with whatever comes our way! Look at me, I'm doing just fine now, aren't I? You can too! As long as we don't let our guard down, we can probably avoid a lot of dangers!"
Qian Kun wholeheartedly agreed, "I understand! Thank you so much for saving me today. I have no way to repay your life-saving grace but to offer myself to you!"
Hearing this, Liu Meilan felt a chill run down her spine. "Qian Kun, I'm warning you, don't ever repay kindness with enmity! If you dare to do that, I can tell you clearly that I will absolutely not help you if you encounter danger again!"
Hearing Liu Meilan's slightly nervous voice, Qian Kun laughed heartily, "You watch too many TV dramas, you just blurted it out! Don't mind it, you're a mother of two now, I would never do such a thing!"
Liu Meilan continued her warning, "You'd better not joke like that! The only reason I'm helping you is because the entertainment island still needs your management; I don't trust anyone else to handle it! I've not only invested a lot of money in this project, but it's also extremely important. It involves the relocation of villagers and various performance indicators; it can only succeed, failure is not an option!"
Although Liu Meilan made money more easily, her money didn't come from thin air.
Now, the funds she invests in and the projects she sponsors each year require a lot of money.
If the entertainment complex doesn't open smoothly and can't operate well, it simply won't be able to provide her with a stable cash flow and sufficient profits.
Qian Kun felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this, but he also understood that Liu Meilan was telling the truth. If it weren't for his influence, Liu Meilan wouldn't have bothered with him at all.
Liu Meilan wasn't as eloquent as others made her out to be, but when she spoke the truth, it struck a chord deep within people.
Fu Chen was incredibly lucky to marry such a wonderful wife as Liu Meilan.
Qian Kun never thought that messing around with women would have consequences, but now he does. He not only suffered retribution from Li Anna, but also became distrustful of many women because of the trauma he suffered.
The only woman he trusts will never marry him, and he can't even show her affection.
Qian Kun said in a deep voice, "President Liu, don't worry! I haven't forgotten my fiancée. That girl died in my arms, covered in blood. Now that Li Anna has been caught, I've gotten my revenge!"
"Now all my energy will be focused on the operation of the entertainment island. This is not only a project that you value, but also a project that can turn my life around. I value it more than anyone else."
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "That's good! If you do this project well, your future will be bright and you'll be able to change your destiny!"
Qian Kun wholeheartedly agreed, “I know! Just like when you invited me to participate in this project, I agreed without hesitation! If I hadn’t participated in this project, and hadn’t been hiding on the entertainment island, but had been hiding somewhere else, even if I could have saved my life, I wouldn’t have been able to remotely control such a large project!”
"This is an opportunity you've given me, and I cherish it very much! Just you wait and see, I guarantee I can run the entertainment island well and make the major shareholder rich every day."
Liu Meilan beamed, “If you manage it well, not only will I be happy, but the leaders above will be happy too! After all, when it was restructured, the local government also invested 20% of the state-owned assets! Although they don’t participate in the management, they don’t want their investment to go down the drain! Especially for projects that have been abandoned and then restructured, it is related to the leaders’ careers and performance.”
Qian Kun smiled, "I understand that!"
Liu Meilan added one last thing: "Unless you face a life-or-death crisis or an insurmountable obstacle, you can call me! For everything else, contact Xiaoyu and let him handle it. If he can't finish, then report back to me!"
With Fu Chen away from home, Liu Meilan wanted to avoid any appearance of impropriety. She wouldn't allow anyone to distract Fu Chen or affect their relationship, and she especially didn't want to impact Fu Chen's performance in the military.
"Understood, Mr. Liu!" Qian Kun hung up the phone, the smile on his lips gradually fading as he gazed wistfully at the sea, all the way to where the water met the sky.
Retribution!
Qian Kun could only say that he was getting his just desserts in his current situation! But God had also given him a way out; at least he was still somewhat useful and could help Liu Meilan.
After smoking several cigarettes, Qian Kun focused on his work, no longer dwelling on his kidnapping. Indeed, as Qian Kun had said before, he had many bodyguards at home, and they followed him everywhere he went, even to the bathroom, where bodyguards were waiting at the door.
The facilities on the entertainment island are becoming increasingly complete, and Qian Kun personally inspects them.
However, he didn't forget Li Anna. He frequently called Qin Ming, asking, "Officer Qin, what exactly did you get out of Li Anna?"
Qin Ming didn't answer directly: "Although I'd like to tell you everything, I really don't know! My superiors haven't disclosed it to me either, so I can't tell you! I can only say that you should take care of yourself, stay calm, and wait for the results!"
He genuinely didn't know, and there were things he did know that he couldn't say; he could only appease Qian Kun for the time being.
