Su Jiani never expected she'd get another chance; it must be that even heaven couldn't bear to watch anymore! From a young age, she was overshadowed by her cousin. The moment her cousin was...
Chapter 93: National Father, Hiding in the Dark
This year's New Year is not as lively as it was in Shenzhen, but fortunately the whole family is together, so it is finally a reunion year.
Yes, Su Wu also came to the capital from Haicheng.
In his words, it is true that he hangs out with his uncle, but his family is also a part of him that he cannot give up. During the New Year, he naturally has to spend the New Year with his parents, brothers and sisters.
Mr. and Mrs. Li did not come. Their son was in Haicheng, so they could not go to their daughter's house to celebrate the New Year.
There are fewer people, and it’s not as lively as before, but it’s still a good thing that everyone is here.
When Su Wu learned what was happening to his brothers and sisters in the capital, envy appeared in his eyes.
However, he remained true to his original intention and still wanted to develop in Haicheng.
The plan his sister gave him has not been realized yet, so he still needs to work harder so that his sister can realize her beautiful wish in the future.
During the first month of the lunar year, the four brothers and sisters took advantage of the fact that it was not snowing to leave their footprints all over the capital.
Su Wu also had a great time.
Before the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Su Wu returned to Haicheng. This time, Su Zhongguo and his friends were busy, so they did not go with him to pay New Year's greetings, but they did ask him to prepare a lot of things to bring over, as a token of their appreciation for their elders.
Now that her second brother is not at home, Su Jiani feels a little lonely. After all, among her three brothers, she can only help her second brother.
Although the memories of the previous life are not good, there are many useful ones.
Unfortunately, she was too young and lazy to work, so she had to leave everything to her parents and brothers.
The second brother is the one she chose as a sucker, ahem, a potential stock.
Intentionally avoiding them, the Su family never met Su's father, Su's mother and others again.
Just after the fifteenth day of the lunar month, a group of special people arrived at the Su family courtyard.
Their arrival surprised everyone.
"Brother Daoyong, why are you here?" It was Su Wen who came out to greet him. When he saw the familiar person, he immediately exclaimed.
Ruan Daoyong was a little embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do. His family had a special status, so he had to report some things.
"Hey Su Wen, Happy New Year. I'm here for something. Are your uncle and aunt home?"
Ruan Daoyong still felt a little embarrassed. After all, he brought people to remind them but no one responded.
In addition, these people have special identities, and it is unclear whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for the Su family.
But he doesn't regret it.
After all, protecting national security is the most important thing.
"Happy New Year, please come in. My parents left early this morning, and the company is just starting up, so things are a bit busy."
Seeing that Ruan Daoyong was being businesslike, he immediately put away his excitement of meeting an old friend.
He invites people in and then has them serve tea. When his parents are not at home, he is the boss and is the one who receives the guests.
He was supposed to go to school today and was packing his things when they came to his door.
"I wonder who you are?"
After seeing them drink the tea, Su Wen took the initiative to ask.
One of the middle-aged men, who looked 50% like Ruan Daoyong, looked at Su Wen with a smile, a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and took over the conversation first.
"Hello, Comrade Su. Don't be nervous. We are here to ask you something. Here are our work IDs. Please take a look."
As he spoke, he took out his work ID, and the others also took out their work IDs when they saw it.
After Su Wen looked at them one by one, he took a breath.
"Hello, Chief." I didn't expect that these people's official positions were so special and high.
This was the highest-ranking official he had ever seen in his life.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Is there anyone else at home?"
Ruan Yongguo had a kind face and a faint smile on his face, and looked like a kind and amiable person.
"My master and sister-in-law are at home, but they are doing morning lessons in the backyard at this time. Do you have something to talk to them about?" Su Wen did not hide it. Besides, there was nothing to hide about these things.
"It's good to be at home. It's good to be at home. Could you please ask them to come out for a while?" Ruan Yongguo was polite and spoke in a casual manner.
Su Wen would not refuse, "Okay, please wait a moment, I will send someone to call them over."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the side room. That was the kitchen of the house. Aunt Zhou and the others usually stayed there when they had nothing to do on weekdays.
When Ruan Daoyong saw Su Wen walking out, he glanced at his father and followed him.
That’s right, the person who had talked to Su Wen before was Ruan Daoyong’s father.
Although he is a politician in public, he has another identity, which is why the Ruan family stands out among the many families in the capital.
Because they are one of the powerful people in the security department.
Outside, Ruan Daoyong did not avoid the gazes behind him and directly put his arm around Su Wen's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, brother. I'll explain this to you later, but don't worry, I won't harm you." Ruan Daoyong's voice was neither loud nor soft, and everyone who should hear it could hear it.
Su Wen smiled and said, "I know your character and I can trust you, but you should have informed me in advance. You suddenly brought so many people here and scared me." There was a hint of uneasiness in his voice.
As the two people's voices faded away, everyone sitting in the living room was laughing and crying.
"Elder Ruan, your youngest son is quite lucky. Look at the friends he has made. He is really enviable."
The one who spoke was one of the staff members. His status and position were not as high as those of the Ruan and Ke families, but he was not inferior to them either.
"Your words sound sour. If I remember correctly, your little daughter seems to be studying with the people over at the Special Affairs Office. That's really enviable."
Ruan Xingguo is a man who knows how to praise others. He is not proud when others praise his son, but he can still praise others with his mouth.
I have to say that anyone who can sit in this position has a delicate mind.
However, when he was outside, he still didn't like others making fun of him and his son.
As a result, the smart person realized that something was wrong and immediately changed the subject.
"Elder Ke, if I remember correctly, your kid has a very close relationship with this family." The smart man spoke.
Ke Boyang came from the military, so he was much more straightforward and didn't go around in circles like Ruan Yongguo.
"Haha, Su Wen is quite good at martial arts and is a promising young talent. It's a pity that he entered the sports academy."
He didn't want to be besieged by a group of old men while competing with the Sports Institute for people, so he decided to wait and see, there was no rush.
Su Wen is still young anyway.
Everyone in the Su family knew about this, they were just making small talk.
Su Wen and Ruan Daoyong came back soon, and Aunt Zhou also went to the backyard to call people.
After chatting with everyone for a while, Taoist Master Renkong brought Su Jie and Su Jiani.
As soon as he saw this group of people, Taoist Master Renkong could no longer hide the smile on his face.
"I was wondering who it was, it's you guys. How's the Great Elder? I haven't seen him in a few years. Is he still in charge of the Special Department now?"
He knows two out of ten people here.
It just so happened that among the people he knew were Ruan Yongguo and Ke Rongqiang.
He is also the biological father of Ruan Daoyong and Ke Boyang.
When the two saw Taoist Master Renkong, they immediately stood up and greeted him.
"So it's the Third Elder. Where have you been all these years? The First Elder has been looking for you for a long time. If you hadn't sent someone to report your safety every year, the First Elder would have been so worried."
The one who spoke was Ruan Yongguo. After all, he had the highest status here, and coincidentally, he knew the third elder in front of him.
"Stop talking nonsense, kid. Tell me what brought you here this time and why did you bring so many people with you." Taoist Master Renkong smiled and didn't exchange too much greetings with them. He got down to business first.
They can be as close as they want in private, but there are outsiders around, so they should keep a distance.
Taoist Master Renkong had already guessed that they would come to his house, but he did not expect them to come so soon.
It seems that some of Jiani and her friends have friends with unusual identities.
I have to say that the Great Elder is truly admirable. Looking at his plan, I’m afraid nothing that happens in the capital can be hidden from them.
I just don't know how much they know about the Zhang family's affairs, and how much they are involved in them.
It seems he needs to ask carefully.
He had come to the capital with the intention of returning to his ministry. Now that Taixu Temple has entered the world, he naturally needs a place to go.
Special Services is a good place to go.
Ruan Yongguo's attitude has changed. Before, he may have looked like he was asking questions, but now, he is only qualified to report.
You know, the person in front of you is the most powerful person except the Great Elder. Yes, there is no doubt about it, he is the most powerful one.
During the war, if he had not come forward to help the Great Elder establish the security department, their department would not have such glory and influence now.
This person is an extraordinary existence.
I just don’t know why he is so deeply involved with the Su family.
Ruan Yongguo immediately explained his purpose. After that, he asked Taoist Renkong, "I wonder if the Third Elder came into the world because of the Zhang family's affairs?"
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Taoist Master Renkong understood their purpose.
"It seems that the Zhang family has caused you quite a bit of trouble. Tell me, I've only been here a short time, and I was planning to go to the ministry after the New Year to ask about the situation."
Taoist Master Renkong appears to be very amiable, but don't think that he is easy to talk to. Back then, he was a murderer on the battlefield.
If he hadn't been so murderous, he wouldn't have gone away to practice Buddhism, and stayed away for more than twenty years.
When the third elder asked, they naturally told him everything they knew.
After hearing this, Su Jiani was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.
I couldn't help but ask, "So many people in the Zhang family have died, didn't they notice anything?"
Her voice was tender and high-pitched, and it was impossible to ignore it.
Seeing this, Taoist Master Renkong smiled and introduced everyone: "This is my closed disciple Su Jiani, and the youngest daughter of the Su family."
After saying this, he pointed at the Su Wen brothers and said, "The four of them are my registered disciples, and they mainly learn external martial arts."
There were only Su Wen and Su Jie here, and the other two were absent. Everyone was obviously a little confused.
So Ke Rongqiang asked, "Where are the other two registered disciples?"
How could Taoist Master Renkong not understand what they were worried about?
"Don't worry, the other one is my second-in-law's brother, and the other one is her cousin Li Peng."
Seeing that nothing they expected happened, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Haha, the Third Elder has a keen eye, and all of his disciples are exceptionally outstanding, which is incomparable to us." Ruan Yongguo spoke to ease the embarrassment.
There's nothing we can do about it. It's their own fault for thinking the worst of others.
"Okay, stop talking about those useless things. Tell me, has the Zhang family noticed Su Jiayi's unusual behavior?"
Taoist Master Renkong repeated his disciple's words again.
Ruan Yongguo looked at someone. Their intelligence department was keeping an eye on the Zhang family.
The main reason I brought him here today was to organize and compare the news about the Su family to see if the Su family had any other intentions.
In other words, does the Su family and the Su family supported by the Zhang family have any hidden relationship?
On the surface, they all knew that the two Su were the same Su, and in terms of blood, they were from the same lineage.
I’m afraid that what happened to the Zhang family is also related to them.
If left unchecked, it may lead to disaster in the future.
This is the main reason why they came to visit right after the New Year.
"The Zhang family discovered it, but we can't find out what happened afterwards. No matter how many people we send, none of them will come back." The comrade from the Intelligence Department answered.
After hearing this, Su Jiani had a guess in her mind. Su Jiayi had a system. In the words of her master, it was an evil spirit, but she understood that it was a higher creature from another world.
It is an existence that their world cannot understand.
It naturally has means that this world cannot defend against.
Now they deal with it using the same methods they used to deal with ghosts, but the effect is not great and at most it is a draw.
If they really fight to the death, it is not certain who will live and who will die.
This is why Taoist Master Renkong has always been defensive over the years.
Listening to the intelligence comrade's report, Taoist Master Renkong sighed, "Don't delve into those secrets in the future. We can't let our comrades sacrifice in vain. It's not worth it. I know a little bit about this matter."
He felt sad. It was not easy to train a comrade in the security department, and it was not worth it to let him be ruined by the Zhang family.
He and his apprentice knew the Zhang family's biggest secret, and the special office was not able to deal with the evil spirit.
Now, she can only place her hopes on her closed disciple, which is also her fate.
"But we can't ignore such a huge hidden danger of the Zhang family. Do you know something about it, Third Elder?" Ruan Yongguo is a very smart man.
Hearing what the Third Elder said, he immediately made a guess.
Taoist Master Renkong looked at him and smiled bitterly, "I've been confronting that thing for a few years now, and it always ended in a draw. It's very evil. As long as you have a righteous heart and don't covet the base, it won't hurt you."
Thinking of the Zhang family, Taoist Renkong couldn't help but complain, "The Zhang family, that's their own fault. Don't worry about it. I will explain this matter to the Great Elder, but the Zhang family should be dealt with. We let them get away before, and we can't be lenient with them now."
"The more prosperous the country becomes, the less room it has for parasites like them."
"As for that lucky girl from the Su family, you should stay away from her if you can. Even your descendants should be warned repeatedly, otherwise she could bring disaster to the whole family if you are not careful."
This is his advice and also a warning. If anyone doesn't listen, then it's up to fate.
Seeing that the Third Elder's words were so serious, everyone raised the level of danger to Su Jiayi again.
After all, they haven't enjoyed their good life enough, and don't want to ruin it because of the younger generations in their family.
"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Third Elder. We've made note of it and will remind the people in the department when we return."
Seeing them like this, Taoist Master Renkong felt relieved.
Ruan Yongguo and the others also knew how powerful Taoist Renkong was. Now that he had spoken, they would naturally stop keeping a close eye on the Zhang family.
But they have to make use of the Third Elder's disciples.
"Third Elder, I wonder if your disciples have registered yet? If not, could I help them register today?"
Ke Rongqiang was making the most careful calculations with his honest look on his face.
Hearing what he said, Ruan Yongguo was the first one who couldn't help himself.
