Chen Rou first meets Nie Zhao because of an anti-terrorism case involving Hong Kong's wealthy elite. He is the richest man in Hong Kong for many years, and a renowned powerful figure. Even thou...
But it was just a few cans of tea. That woman, a young woman on the same side as Wang Meng, was so powerful in Shenzhen that she could even obstruct judicial fairness.
Then isn't her adherence to the family planning policy a joke?
She remained calm and smiled, saying, "Have some tea first, and I'll go get you some snacks."
Once inside the bedroom, she called her husband, and as soon as he answered, she said through gritted teeth, "Go and talk to Second Brother yourself. His dogs aren't just going to rebel in the capital; they're going to take over all the economic privileges!"
...
The two children are four and a half years apart, so there is a generation gap between them.
For A-Yuan, a child with an extraordinary IQ, this older sister is just the right playmate.
Minmin carried Ayuan to her bed and gave him a scrambled Rubik's Cube: "I don't believe you can solve this."
The girl's bed is so strange. There's a window right next to it, and there's something hard and metal. Her bed is also hard, which is a bit unsettling. But it's okay. A Yuan took the Rubik's Cube. Kids rely entirely on intuition.
After twisting for a while, he looked up at the girl and realized it seemed a bit difficult. He grinned foolishly.
Okay, that's fine. Minmin found her notebook and prepared to be her little brother's tutor.
She even has a little blackboard! When her mother helps her with homework, she writes and draws on it with chalk. She took it all out, enjoying the simple, unpretentious fun of being a little teacher. But after she set up the platform, she turned around and exclaimed, "Wow!"
She rushed out carrying A Yuan, and seeing that her mother wasn't there, she said to Chen Rou, "Auntie, he can solve a 3x3 Rubik's Cube."
She was too small to lift the heavy A Yuan, so the little guy slipped to the ground.
She immediately plopped down and gave him a quick, kissing kiss: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Ah Yuan's eyes, which were smiling so much, had become like his grandfather's nickname, "Little Tadpole."
Well, Chen Rou has to admit that Boss Nie's books weren't a waste of time; her son is indeed a little genius.
What's even more remarkable is that he interacts well with people and his language development is in no way inferior. If he can continue to develop like this, Chen Rou would have to admit that her son has won the genetic lottery, surpassing her and Nie Zhao, two ordinary people.
Just then, a child outside called out, "Minmin, are you there? Come out and play!"
If not now, when?
Minmin pulled Ayuan up, opened the door and said, "Look, this is my younger brother. Don't underestimate him because he's small; he can solve a 3x3 Rubik's Cube. Can your brother do that?"
The child who called her was from a family where one parent quit their job to start a business in order to have a son. Upon hearing this, the child rushed upstairs and said, "No way, you have a little brother now? Is he a snotty-nosed kid?"
But then, the children exclaimed in unison, "Holy crap, so clean and so pretty, is it a little sister?"
Minmin was very proud of herself. She took a bite of Xiang Ayuan's food and said, "I didn't expect it. Humph, it's my younger brother!"
Her mother came out: "Minmin, close the door."
What Xiao Zhang felt particularly wronged was that, even at work, he and his wife deliberately kept their relationship a secret, fearing it would have a negative impact. They were afraid that others would gossip and say that they relied on connections rather than their own abilities.
She was so strict with her daughter that it was almost abnormal. When her eldest son's family did what they did, she was really furious.
But after thinking about it, she realized that by instigating her brother-in-law to interfere with the judiciary, the eldest son and his wife would no longer be able to stay in the capital. Given the second son's anger, even if they weren't arrested, they would most likely be sent back to their hometown.
Even if Wang Meng doesn't die, he can't escape a life sentence.
But in reality, she was being too optimistic; Wang Meng was probably doomed this time.
Because they had spent a lot of money on a taxi, Chen Ke and Yue Zhongqi had already arrived at Xishan, which Chen Rou had mentioned. It was indeed a rural area, located halfway up a mountain. There was a large orchard of persimmons and hawthorns next to the highway, accessible by a side road.
Chen Ke was an upright man. He stopped and said, "You keep watch, I'll go in?"
He added, "If anything seems wrong, just run away. Don't worry about me. Arou is my...cousin, and from now on she'll be your cousin."
The courtyard they wanted to enter belonged to a powerful figure's elder brother. The difficulty in this matter was that once they were discovered by the other party, regardless of whether there was money in the courtyard or whether the family would be sentenced, they were all one family.
And if they secretly investigate the leaders' family members, do you still want to get promoted? Dream on.
That's why every high-ranking official who falls from power is implicated in a shocking corruption case.
Chen Ke was about to go in when Yue Zhongqi grabbed him and said, "Can you stop talking like that? You always bring up sacrifice and act like Liu Bei entrusting his son to someone else. We were able to carry out the Long March, fight a protracted war, and wage tunnel warfare. Were we able to do it because of the spirit of sacrifice? No, it was because of strategy and tactics."
He lit another cigarette, the one he had just used to treat the man, and pulled Chen Ke into the grove. He said, “After all this time, I know what’s going on. The money is right here, but we can’t make a fuss about it, and we certainly can’t expose it directly. We need to find it using a better method that can both protect ourselves and expose the truth!”
He always has a way, and it's always a brilliant one.
Chen Ke took the cigarette and threw it on the ground. He couldn't help but blurt out, "No wonder you're my Arou's master, Lao Yue. I'm the kind of person who doesn't even need to lean on a wall, but I admire you the most!"
