"I'm fine, I'm fine! This isn't a kidnapping, really not a kidnapping."
"Just a little accident happened. Don't worry, I'm at the police station now, and I'm completely safe."
Yu Zhou quickly began to explain to Jiang Jie.
This incident was truly bizarre. If it were anyone else, they would probably think it was a made-up story upon hearing it.
However, Jiang Jie believed every word Yu Zhou said.
Upon learning that he was safe and unharmed, she was overcome with relief and joy. As long as he was alright, nothing else mattered.
Money, the factory – none of it was important.
Moreover, although this incident had worried her family, there weren't significant losses.
It was just a misunderstanding, and Yu Zhou didn't mention the danger he had analyzed.
"It's good that you're alright. Come back tomorrow! I want to see you!"
Jiang Jie said tearfully on the other end of the line.
Yu Zhou couldn't bear to hear his wife sobbing like this; his heart ached with her each cry.
"Okay, I'll handle things here and then head straight back to Jiangbei!"
"Don't worry, I'll get back as quickly as possible! This time, there absolutely won't be any more unexpected incidents."
Yu Zhou readily agreed. Compared to revenge or displaying his strength, none of it mattered to him now.
Going home directly, or rather, making his family stop worrying and seeing him safe and sound, that was the most important thing.
Perhaps his life wasn't solely for his family, but after his rebirth, he had placed them first. For his family, for his loved ones, he could abandon wealth or anything else without hesitation. This life, compared to his previous one, was simply about repaying debts, wasn't it?
"Okay, I won't keep you any longer. You handle your business, and we can talk when you're back."
Jiang Jie seemed to realize her emotions were getting out of control and hung up the phone.
Yu Zhou also felt a pang of discomfort, especially a lingering sense of guilt that spread through him and seemed to persist.
After a long while, he finally called Tang Long and the others to report his safety.
Once all these matters were settled, Yu Zhou finally felt at ease. Only when everyone was truly safe could they breathe a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, the entire factory or other places would have descended into chaos.
Of course, Tang Long and the others were in Ningzhou. Upon hearing news of Yu Zhou, they rushed to the police station without hesitation. They didn't know exactly what Yu Zhou had gone through, but they could imagine the despair he must have felt being abducted.
The current Yu Zhou was completely different from the Yu Zhou who used to set up a stall by the roadside.
He was not only a member of the Yu family and Jiang Jie's husband but also the spiritual pillar of the entire [San Pi Ma] company.
He supported the entire factory, the boss of nearly three thousand people.
It wasn't that Yu Zhou was already famous and successful. Perhaps he was still a certain distance from the renowned billionaires of later generations.
But to achieve this much in this era, largely through his own vision and business acumen, was already remarkable.
Why was he so famous in Jiangbei? It wasn't just because he had driven out the Su family and was invincible in business competition.
More importantly, he had practically started from scratch, expanding the dried fruit factory's scale tenfold in just over a year, and even creating a brand effect.
Such a business-savvy and capable boss would be sought after wherever he went, in any era.
Perhaps in Jiangbei, Yu Zhou wasn't the strongest, nor the wealthiest, and even his status and background weren't particularly remarkable.
However, Yu Zhou had gradually formed a scale effect, inspiring many to venture into business.
This influence alone was enough for Jiangbei to spare no effort in assisting Yu Zhou.
Because, in many ways, Yu Zhou was becoming a benchmark, a benchmark for countless entrepreneurs. How far this benchmark could go became the limit of imagination for many aspiring entrepreneurs.
"It's over just like that? You're not going to pursue it?"
On the other side, Tang Yan, still bewildered, looked surprised.
She had heard before that the rules and regulations of the police station were absolute.
Without a temporary residence permit or an ID card, you wouldn't be released. Only after your identity and background were clarified could you potentially leave.
This would also involve fines and various other procedures.
Otherwise, you would be sent to a shelter.
Weren't all these situations about to happen? Why were Yu Zhou and she now being released from the interrogation room?
Well, Tang Yan didn't believe Yu Zhou's claims on the road about being an entrepreneur and being quite wealthy.
She always felt Yu Zhou was boasting. If he were a big shot, why would he have no money on him, forcing them to endure the cold wind all night?
Although Yu Zhou had been somewhat chivalrous and had eventually given her his coat, Tang Yan still labeled him as very stingy or even parsimonious.
If he wasn't stingy, why would he carry no money and no ID card?
But now, she was somewhat confused.
Could it be that what Yu Zhou said last night was true? Was he really a big shot?
Otherwise, why would the police officers be so polite to Yu Zhou when she came out?
Alright, Tang Yan, unable to figure it out, decided not to think about it anymore.
She walked straight up to Yu Zhou and said, "What do we do now? Neither of us has any money. Are we really going to the shelter?"
Upon mentioning the shelter, her expression changed.
She had heard many of her fellow villagers talk about that place.
Every city had one, and they were all more or less the same.
It was truly a place ordinary people couldn't endure. She didn't want to suffer there to earn money for her bus fare home.
"Don't worry! I've contacted someone I can reach. They'll be here soon, and I'll arrange things for you then."
Seeing Tang Yan's expression, Yu Zhou couldn't help but chuckle.
This woman actually had things to fear?
