After a flash marriage, I found myself marrying into a wealthy family

Ji Beichen parked the car on the side of the road and turned on the hazard lights.

Originally, he hadn't noticed anything wrong with the tea leaves, but when Qiao Yue mentioned it, he himself felt that something was not right.

Seeing his serious expression, Qiao Yue said, "Maybe... I'm thinking too much? I just subconsciously feel that the logic is wrong, maybe..."

Ji Beichen shook his head. "This matter is indeed a bit strange. It's right for you to be more careful."

Qiao Yue: "This tea was sent by my uncle and aunt. There shouldn't be any problem. They come to see grandpa quite often recently, so it's normal for them to send something."

Ji Beichen looked at her and said, "You also said that their behavior is very normal in the eyes of others. So, if they really have any bad intentions, it is difficult for people to detect."

Qiao Yue hadn't thought of this. "But, even if they really want to harm Grandpa, they must have a reason. Besides, we are just guessing now and we don't have any evidence."

Ji Beichen frowned and said, "So I have to check. I won't feel at ease if I don't."

Qiao Yue nodded, "Well, how do we check it?"

Ji Beichen thought for a moment and said, "We can't alert the enemy about this. Let's not tell anyone else. If my family members find out, it might cause them to panic."

"Well, go home tomorrow and ask grandpa for some tea leaves. Tell him you want to try it. Grandpa loves you and will definitely give it to you. After you get it, I'll have someone take it for inspection to see if there is any problem with the tea leaves."

Qiao Yue nodded, "Okay, I'll go there early tomorrow morning."

After Ji Beichen finished talking to her, he called his assistant.

"Hey, Mr. Ji."

Ji Beichen opened his mouth and ordered: "Have someone check my uncle and his wife to see if anything has happened to them recently, especially regarding money. Keep a low profile."

Assistant Xiao Lin responded on the other end of the phone, "Okay, Mr. Ji, I'll do it for you right away."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Beichen remained silent.

As a person who has experienced the bloody ups and downs of the business world, he now has a lot of associations in his mind.

If this is true, Uncle and Auntie have only one goal: money.

Ji Beichen has seen a lot since he was a child. He never expected that this time, he might have to experience it himself, especially the wealthy families who scheme against each other using all sorts of means.

He unconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

Qiao Yue looked at him, reached out and touched the back of his hand, and comforted him, "After we find out, we will know the truth. Maybe we are just overthinking."

Ji Beichen turned his head to look at her and nodded slightly.

Qiao Yue said gently, "Let's go home."

Ji Beichen started the car again and drove towards Xingchen Huafu.

……

the next morning.

Ji Beichen and Qiao Yue went to the old house again, planning to find a way to ask grandpa for some tea.

Grandpa was surprised to see them coming so early in the morning. "You two, it's not even eight o'clock yet, why are you here?"

Qiao Yue smiled and replied, "I just wanted to have breakfast with you."

When Grandpa Ji heard this, he was indeed happy and did not doubt the two of them at all.

While eating breakfast, Qiao Yue and Ji Beichen exchanged glances.

Qiao Yue understood and said with a smile, "Grandpa, can you give me some of the tea that Uncle San gave you so I can taste it?"

Grandpa Ji: "Sure, when you leave later, just go upstairs and get it. But, are your wounds fully healed? Can you drink tea?"

Qiao Yue paused, then smiled and replied, "The doctor said I can drink a little."

Ji Beichen also helped and said, "Yes, it won't hurt to drink a little."

Grandpa Ji said cheerfully, "That's fine."

Qiao Yue ate a few mouthfuls of porridge and took the opportunity to ask, "Grandpa, how long have you been drinking this tea that Uncle San gave you?"

She tried to speak as naturally as if she was just chatting.

Grandpa Ji also answered casually, "It's been more than a month. He said that he has a friend who has a tea plantation in Fujian, so he gave me this tea to try. If you like it, I'll ask him to get more next time."

Qiao Yue smiled and replied: "Okay, thank you."

Qiao Yue asked a few questions casually, but didn't ask any more questions because she was afraid that her family would become suspicious.

After breakfast, Qiao Yue followed her grandfather upstairs, took a small bag of tea, and then left.

Ji Beichen was waiting for her in the car at the door.

As soon as Qiao Yue got in the car, she handed the tea to Ji Beichen. "I took the opportunity to take a look. Grandpa doesn't have much tea, just a small can. Grandpa said that this kind of tea is difficult to make and the output is not high. Third uncle only sends one can each time. Grandpa finishes it in a week, and then third uncle comes to send more."

Ji Beichen took the tea leaves and looked at them. "The more I listen to this, the more strange it seems."

Qiao Yue: "Let's go first, or our family will see us."

Ji Beichen started the car and drove to Xingchen Square.

After sending Qiao Yue to the coffee shop, Ji Beichen returned to the company.

His assistant, Xiao Lin, was already waiting for him at the office door.

When Ji Beichen appeared, his face was solemn and he said nothing.

The assistant looked at the situation and naturally knew that something important must have happened. He quickly followed his footsteps, walked into the office, and immediately closed the door.

Ji Beichen took off his suit, threw it aside, and then sat on the office chair.

Xiao Lin lowered his head slightly and stood aside listening to his instructions.

Ji Beichen threw a small bag of tea leaves on the table and said in a cold voice, "Send this thing for inspection to see if there is any problem. I want to know the result as soon as possible."

Xiao Lin nodded, "Okay, Mr. Ji."

Ji Beichen asked again, "I asked you to check on my third uncle yesterday. Is there any progress?"

Xiao Lin replied, "After receiving your call last night, I immediately asked someone to investigate, but there hasn't been much progress. However, we have found that your third uncle and his wife have been traveling abroad frequently in the past six months."

Ji Beichen: "Where are you going?"

Xiaolin: "Las Vegas, USA."

Ji Beichen closed his eyes and sighed, "Keep investigating and tell me if there is any progress."

Xiao Lin: "Okay, Mr. Ji, I'll go out first.

The office door closed again, and Ji Beichen reached out and rubbed his temple.

Las Vegas, USA, a famous gambling city.

It’s because of money after all.

Is the story of Uncle San also so cliché?

Ji Beichen began to brainstorm. Assuming that his third uncle was really short of money, why didn’t he ask his grandfather for money or borrow money?

Instead, he chose to secretly harm Grandpa. What good would this do for Uncle San?

Is this matter really that simple?

Ji Beichen's thoughts were interrupted by a work call.

Forget it, everything depends on the results of the investigation. If Third Uncle really did such a conscienceless thing, Ji Beichen would definitely not show mercy.

He would not allow anyone to hurt his family.
