【Quick Wear】I always go to the wrong plot

But all this is just suspicion.

After all, Jiang Jingtao is not a fool. If Jiang Shuliu is really Fang Mao's child, he would not raise Jiang Shuliu no matter how important the marriage is.

However, deep down in his heart, Fang Mao was determined to find out the answer. Perhaps it was the guilt caused by the misunderstanding back then, or perhaps it was the remaining love for Ji Ru that attracted him, Fang Mao was determined to find out whose child Jiang Shuliu was.

The previous mineral vein incident was a test. Since Ji Ru was willing to leave the jade pendant to Jiang Shuliu under that circumstance, then there is this possibility.

"Then do we still need to take Jiang Shuliu's blood and hair?" Gao Quan asked.

Western medical technology is advanced and paternity testing technology is very superior.

"Go ahead." Fang Mao thought for a moment and said, "Don't harm her life."

Gao Quan's eyes flickered: "Yes."

Fang Mao said, "By the way, was it Jiang Shuliu who took the photo of the Red and White Hibiscus Painting?"

Gao Quan nodded.

Fang Mao asked solemnly, "Are they reliable in what they do?"

Gao Quan: "Don't worry, sir. They are in urgent need of money and will not allow any mistakes."

Fang Mao is a fabric merchant on the surface, and in the eyes of his daughter Fang Fei, he is doing international business, but in fact he is a smuggler.

He specializes in helping the nobles and upper class get what they need and what suits their taste.

"Red and White Hibiscus" was specifically requested by a British archduke, who offered a very good price for it. However, if Fang Mao had to obtain it through an auction, he would probably have only earned enough for his travel expenses.

It was also at this time that the National Defense Party approached him.

Despite the failure of the political struggle, the Conservative Party did not intend to give up and they have been secretly looking for sponsors.

Fang Mao decided to cooperate with them. If the "Red and White Hibiscus" incident could be resolved satisfactorily, Fang Mao would be happy to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with them.

After all, the authorities have begun to crack down on this smuggling business. If Fang Mao doesn't find a way out, his life may be in danger.

Fang Mao sighed: "It is really a series of fate that brought Jiang Shuliu to me. I am going to unveil this veil."

In fact, the Jiang family has always been Fang Mao’s target, otherwise he would not have planted a hidden card in the Jiang family.

After all, the Jiang family's porcelain is indeed enviable.

If Jiang Shuliu is really his child, he is willing to spare her life. If not, then for the sake of his most beloved daughter, Fang Mao will eliminate Fang Fei's obstacles.

How similar they are, Fang Fei and Ji Xingyu, just like him and Ji Ru.

Gao Quan left the room and ran into Fang Fei who was looking for her father.

"Brother Quan! You're back too!" Fang Fei's expression was originally gloomy, but her eyes lit up when she saw Gao Quan.

Gao Quan grew up with her as a childhood sweetheart, and Fang Fei trusts and relies on Gao Quan very much.

Gao Quan paused and said with a smile: "Xiao Fei, are you here to see the gentleman?"

"Yes," Fang Fei nodded and said, "Dad has finally come back after being abroad for so long. I want to find him for something."

Gao Quan asked tentatively: "Is it because of Ji Xingyu?"

Fang Fei's expression froze, and she changed the subject, "No, he and I are fine. I'm going to look for my dad first."

Looking at Fang Fei's back, Gao Quan clenched his hands into fists.

Gao Quan has been studying with Fang Mao since he was a child, so he naturally knows that Fang Mao's behavior this time is just the result of his obsession back then. After all, no matter how deep the love is, it will dissipate over the years.

But if Jiang Shuliu is really Fang Mao's child, he will definitely pose a threat to Fang Fei.

No, it should be said that she had already threatened Fang Fei a long time ago.

Gao Quan closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, he was full of ruthlessness: Therefore, Jiang Shuliu "must" not be Fang Mao's child.

"Miss, Miss!"

"Jiang Shuliu!" Zhao Xi's panicked shouts were completely drowned out by the thunder. The sudden rainstorm and strong winds hit the entire ship like a shaky fallen leaf.

Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Zhao Xi was at a loss.

It was fine at the beginning...

Three hours ago, at the planned time, Jiang Shuliu embarked on his first sea trade voyage with several experienced sailors and boxes of exquisite porcelain.

Who could have expected that just as we entered the sea and lost sight of the land, the sea, which was originally as calm as a mirror, would suddenly be swept by a huge storm in just over ten minutes!

The howling wind, along with the rising waves, was like an angry giant, raging wildly. The sails were shaking violently in the wind, as if they would break into pieces at any time. The captain's roaring shouts became as faint as mosquitoes and flies in the din of the storm, almost inaudible.

Zhao Xi's slender figure could not withstand such a storm at all. She was lifted up and then smashed down heavily. The pain made her head blank as if her nerves were cut off.

"Xichun——"

Jiang Shuliu's voice faintly reached Zhao Xi's ears. After she finally regained some consciousness, her eyes widened instantly.

Jiang Shuliu was seen leaning against the edge of the boat, holding the pole tightly with one hand and holding her hand tightly with the other.

Zhao Xi was almost blown off the boat!

She lowered her head in a trance, and beneath her suspended feet was a surging black wave, like a whirlpool.

If Jiang Shuliu let go, Zhao Xi would fall into the boundless ocean.

"Don't look!" Jiang Shuliu's voice seemed the same as usual. Her eyes were as determined as stars at this time, her lips were tightly pursed, her fingers were deeply embedded in the boat's railing, and her nails began to break.

"Quick! Lower the lifeboat!"

A sailor who was less seriously injured pulled the rope and a lifeboat was lowered.

"Xichun!" Jiang Shuliu's loud shout made Zhao Xi look at her in a daze.

"I'm going to let go, don't be afraid! The boat is right under your feet!"

Knowing that now was not the time to hesitate, Zhao Xi nodded vigorously and smiled at Jiang Shuliu reassuringly.

Jiang Shuliu loosened his hand, and the feeling of weightlessness made Zhao Xi close his eyes. He did not dare to open his eyes until his body touched the deck.

Regardless of the severe pain in her body, Zhao Xi climbed up and shouted, "Miss, come down quickly!"

Jiang Shuliu was very calm. She grabbed the rope and quickly slid down from the boat.

As the wind grew stronger, the captain jumped overboard with a sailor. He had a serious expression on his face, which had been battered by the sea breeze and the scorching sun, and he rowed the boat with all his might.

Zhao Xi was held tightly in Jiang Shuliu's arms, and only the system prompt sound in his mind was loud: [Ding - Plot point progressed by 10 points. ]

Zhao Xi clutched Jiang Shuliu's sleeves tightly. The system's prompt sound made her guess that perhaps the plot of Jiang Shuliu being in danger must be played out. Even if Zhao Xi handed over the wrong sea route map and avoided man-made disasters, natural disasters would still occur.

Thanks to the captain's rich experience, they quickly passed the storm area.

But they also faced a new problem: they lost their way in the vast ocean.

"I remember this place. This is the south of Taiping Island. If you drive towards there, you can see land!"

The only sailor suddenly pointed in a direction and said.

No one knows if he is right, but it is a hope.

"You two, you are familiar with my identity. If we can return safely, I, Jiang Shuliu, will reward you with ten thousand taels of silver. The Jiang family also owes you a huge favor."

Jiang Shuliu's thinking was particularly clear at this moment. At this moment of life and death, he had to put out all his chips.

It is not the end of the road yet. The captain and the sailor looked at each other and said, "This accident is not something anyone could have predicted. We have already received generous rewards from the Jiang family, so we will naturally send you two back safely."

Everyone can say nice words, but Jiang Shuliu didn't believe a word they said. Being able to live in harmony now was just the beginning.

Jiang Shuliu said nothing, she gently closed her eyes, and Zhao Xi, like a frightened kitten, quietly nestled in her arms. Her petite body seemed extremely fragile, but it was like a powerful force, constantly injecting courage into her.

I won't fall here.

Jiang Shuliu lowered his eyes, quietly took off the red bracelet on his wrist, and put it on Zhao Xi's wrist.

Zhao Xi felt it, but she said nothing and hid the bracelet deep inside her sleeve.
