Even though it's not far from the door and there's heating inside, those few steps from the doorway can still make these little southern potatoes sick from the cold.

Chen Mao had just put on his military overcoat and was taking out his sleeves when A Yuan had already poked his head out.

Two identical men, both wearing green military overcoats, looked at one and then the other, before reaching out a small hand to Chen Ke: "Here you go!"

Chen Ke took it and saw that it was a toy motorcycle. He asked in Cantonese, "Do you recognize me?"

Ah Yuan is still so young; he shouldn't remember her after not seeing her for several months.

But as his mother carried him along, he smiled and looked at Chen Ke the whole way, then suddenly pouted and said, "Dudu, dudu!"

Chen Ke understood and said to Chen Rou, "He remembers me, he remembers me blowing a small conch shell with him."

"Dududu," that's the sound of a little conch shell.

How can a child who is only a little over one year old have such a good memory?

Once inside the passage, Chen Ke picked up the little guy and wrapped him in his coat.

I miss this little guy so much.

He needed to take Uncle Er to meet the special investigation team for the Zhang Ziqiang case, and also to meet the leaders of the national special inspection team for the fight against organized crime. Before going, of course, there were many things he needed to discuss with Uncle Er and Chen Rou.

But of course, we need to settle down first.

Even staying at the airport isn't so easy, because of the heavy snow today, there are widespread flight delays. For better or worse, all hotel rooms are fully booked, so the most urgent thing is to get back to the city.

Liang Lisheng and Nie Zhao were in a panic, and Chen Rou was also thinking of taking the bus, since her son had never ridden a bus before.

However, with Yue Zhongqi around, none of these are difficult problems.

Once he realized Liang Lisheng couldn't come, he took out his pager, found a public phone to call someone, and returned after a while, saying, "Three military jeeps will be here soon. There's just one problem: there are no child seats. Little Yuan will have to make do."

Nie Han and Master Er both nodded, while the second-in-command of the Weng family bowed in gratitude.

But Chen Rou was frowning, and Chen Ke also asked Yue Zhongqi in a low voice, "You didn't transfer an active-duty vehicle, did you? Is this a case of using a public vehicle for private purposes?"

Yue Zhongqi said in a low voice, "Of course he's retired, how could he be active?"

He added, “Boss, we’re honest and hardworking, and we cherish our things. I’ve heard that some companies reimburse their official vehicles after a few years, using loopholes in the policy to transfer them out. They can make tens of thousands of yuan in profit from just one vehicle.”

Military vehicles will be decommissioned, and after that, there will be a lot of room for operation.

In Chen Ke's view, that would be illegal. He said, "Others are others, and we are ourselves."

He added, "You should also try to avoid associating with those kinds of people, be careful they don't take advantage of you."

Yue Zhongqi said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

He is adept at navigating social situations, welcoming guests from all directions, and making many friends, but he doesn't act recklessly.

Even in the capital city at that time, there were privileges, only those not reserved for Boss Nie, Chen Rou, Chen Ke, and others.

It was quite a coincidence that Yue Zhongqi briefly told the story of the person he borrowed the car from. He said that the person's surname was Wang and his given name was also very interesting. He was called Wang Meng, nicknamed Meng Wang. He was a second-generation rich kid with connections. He had served in the army for a few years, but of course, he was just a slick soldier. Later, he went into business and built a very large business all over the country. He was a big boss.

However, although that person was nicknamed Xiong Ba and Meng Wang, he particularly admired Yue Zhongqi.

He calls himself Yue Zhongqi's number one fanboy, and he never refuses to help Yue Zhongqi whenever he needs it.

Coincidentally, Chen Rou actually knew that Wang Meng was Qin Qianqian's powerful backer.

She is indeed a big boss, but her master is a bit too amazing. How could he know someone like that?

Of course, the big boss himself didn't come; he only sent a car and a few drivers to wait at the exit.

Master Er was quite easily frightened. Upon seeing the group of drivers, he immediately asked Chen Rou, "Those people should all be soldiers, right?"

The drivers hired by big bosses who transferred from the military are naturally all retired soldiers.

The big boss is a seasoned military man, but the people he hires are definitely not; just by looking at their agility, they are all extremely skilled.

The drivers, who had initially looked arrogant and disdainful, all changed their expressions when they saw Chen Ke.

One by one, they took off their sunglasses and rushed over: "Hello, leader."

If it weren't for the fact that the little one had to endure the cold wind, Chen Ke would never stoop to associating with people who like to abuse their privileges.

But fearing that the child might catch a cold from the cold, he had no choice but to let Yue Zhongqi have his way.

He said, "Drive slower and more carefully."

Although he manages few people, his power is considerable. Moreover, if he dares to make an exception, that big boss would be more than willing to kneel down and lick his shoes, since the people he leads are currently the only group of people who can enter Hong Kong.

Several drivers quickly carried luggage and helped passengers onto the bus, setting off amidst the heavy snow.

Ah Yuan loved it so much that he stood on Chen Ke's lap looking out the window; the child's eyes couldn't take it all in.

How could the world be so big, so boundless, and all white? That white thing, which would be crushed under a car wheel, Chen Ke taught him: "That's snow, snow-white snow."

The snow was so white and soft. A-Yuan wanted to pounce on it and roll around on it.

He saw snowflakes falling on the window, not as individual flakes, but as wavy, multi-faceted ones. He loved them and reached out to grab them, but they were caught on the glass. He watched them melt and turn into tiny water droplets that rolled down the windowpane.

Ah Yuan got anxious and pointed at the window at Chen Ke: "Beep beep, open, open."
