"May I ask who this lady is?"

"What? It hasn't been that long and you've already forgotten me, your old friend who helped you through thick and thin? No wonder this lady was so hostile towards me, she's your wife, isn't she?"

"Like father, like son; they're birds of a feather."

He Jing rolled her eyes at Zhang Decai.

Zhang Decai's smile faltered, and Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao could both see the corners of his mouth twitching.

"He Jing, don't be ungrateful. I have nothing to do with you anymore. Don't keep coming near me."

“Zhang Decai, you think too highly of yourself. My daughter attends this kindergarten and is often bullied by your son. I need an explanation from you, or I won’t let this go.”

"What did you say? What do you mean my son bullied your daughter? What right does your daughter have to be bullied by my son?"

"That's pretty arrogant of you. You think you're justified in bullying people?"

Chu Jiaojiao simply couldn't listen anymore.

"Director Zhang, let's not say any more. How do you plan to handle this matter?"

After watching a play, Chu Xingyue roughly guessed the relationship between Zhang Decai and He Jing.

"I apologize, including to little Qingqing."

Zhang Decai knew that nothing he said would make a difference; all he could do now was to persuade Miss Chu not to hold it against them.

"My son Zhang Zhipeng transferred schools. I apologize to Teacher Huahua and will provide some financial compensation. I will make sure Teacher Huahua is satisfied."

"Does your wife agree?"

"What objection could she possibly have, being ill? I hope you can accept my apology."

"Although we did not receive any substantial compensation, we can barely accept this outcome. My daughter Mianmian is mentally strong, but I wonder if Qingqing, who was bullied, will suffer any psychological trauma."

"I will provide financial compensation to Qingqing so that she can go and relax."

"Qingqing's mom, how much financial compensation would you agree to?"

"I'm afraid you won't agree with what I'm about to say."

He Jing looked at Zhang Decai with a face full of disbelief.

"You said, as long as you're satisfied."

One million.

"Bullshit! You're asking for the moon!"

"Li Mei, if you say one more word, I'll send you back to your hometown tomorrow."

"husband"

"Shut up."

Zhang Decai was really furious with this woman. If it weren't for the fact that she had given him a son, he would have sent her back to her hometown long ago.

"Okay, no problem, I'll transfer the money now."

He Jing glanced at Chu Xingyue, and Chu Xingyue nodded at her.

Zhang Decai acted quickly, and the compensation money arrived in his account soon after.

"received"

Looking at the million yuan that had just arrived in her phone, He Jing felt a strange feeling welling up inside her.

"What about compensation for the emotional distress suffered by our teacher, Ms. Huahua?"

Chu Xingyue crossed her arms over her chest.

"Transfer now, transfer now."

He walked over to the principal and asked the finance department to send over Hua Yu's account information.

"Miss Chu, look, the transfer has been successful."

"Since Director Zhang is so generous, then we have no reason to argue anymore. Director Zhang has a bright future ahead of him, so please don't ruin your career because of trouble at home."

"Yes, yes, Miss Chu is right," Zhang Decai carefully wiped his sweat. Did this mean he had passed this test?

“Principal, now that the matter is resolved, my sister and I will head back. We hope you will take good care of Mengmeng at school, and also Teacher Huahua, who is a wonderful teacher. We hope you can give young people more opportunities.”

"Miss Chu is right, absolutely." The principal finally felt a little relieved.

"Then we won't bother you any longer, goodbye!"

"Miss Chu, please take care."

"Principal, please wait."

The principal escorted Chu Xingyue and her sister, along with He Jing, all the way to the kindergarten gate. As she turned around, the smile on her face instantly vanished.

Close the office door.

"Director Zhang, I can't accept the building you donated to the kindergarten this time. Here's the check you gave me, please keep it."

The headmistress took out the check that Zhang Decai had given her earlier and handed it to him from the drawer.

"Director, look, this is for you."

"Director Zhang, it's not that I don't want to accept this money, it's that I can't accept it, and I dare not accept it. If it weren't for Miss Chu's magnanimity today, I think I would already be on my way to the police station. I also want to give you a piece of advice: keep your wife and children in check. Some people are really not people we should mess with. That's all I have to say."

The kindergarten director didn't know if she was in any trouble this time, but she knew that Zhang Decai's career was over.

Hopefully, she won't be implicated.

The headmistress had a hunch in her mind. When the leader told her to behave herself, she knew she had to stop playing the xun in time. If she couldn't get through it, she could only blame her own greed.

After Zhang Decai finished the transfer procedures for his beloved son, he looked at Li Mei with such hatred that he wanted to eat her flesh and drink her blood. People always lack the ability to think clearly when they are angry. After dropping Li Mei off, he went straight to his workplace. When he arrived at his workplace, everyone was very busy. From the way everyone looked at him, Zhang Decai noticed something different.

Pushing open the office door, he saw three unfamiliar men sitting inside, and he didn't see any familiar colleagues, including his boss.

"Hello, Comrade Zhang Decai. We are from the Discipline Inspection Commission. This morning we received a report accusing you of embezzling public funds and accepting bribes."

"Hello, comrades. Is there some misunderstanding? May I make a phone call?"

Zhang Decai wore a polite smile.

"Excuse me, please cooperate with our work. Also, this is our search warrant. Please hand over your phone."

Zhang Decai is now completely panicked; he won't even let him make a phone call.

"I'll just make one call, it'll be very short."

"Feel sorry."

Two very simple words completely made Zhang Decai's legs go weak.

A crowd gathered at the entrance, but no one spoke up for him; they just watched helplessly as Zhang Decai was taken away.

Two people standing at the back of the crowd were watching Zhang Decai's back. One of them said to the middle-aged man in front of him with his hands behind his back:

"Boss, what kind of deity has this kid offended? Even the person above hasn't shown up yet."

"People should guard their true nature, especially people like us. From the very first day he reached out, I knew this would happen."

The middle-aged man turned around and walked away with his secretary, their voices still audible.

"Yes, you're right, sir. You have a long-term vision."

A loud crash came from an office upstairs.

"I told him to keep a low profile, but he wouldn't listen. Now I can't protect him. Luckily, I got out of there in time when I sensed something was wrong, otherwise I would have been implicated by him."

"Sir, are we just going to abandon Director Zhang?"

"Manage? How can you manage it? I'll get my foot chopped off if I even stick it out. Forget it."

"The most important thing is to keep your mouth shut and keep your tail between your legs. If anyone causes me trouble, I'll skin them alive."

This matter came and went quickly; Chu Mianmian hasn't seen Zhang Zhipeng since that day.

Only the principal knew that Li Mei had taken her son and slunk back to her hometown, and that Zhang Decai had been sentenced to 10 years in prison.

This matter has now come to an end.

He Jing cried for a long time when she learned that Zhang Decai had been sentenced. Finally, she mustered up the courage to call home and apologize to her parents. She also told them about Zhang Decai. Hearing her parents' distressed voices on the phone, He Jing knew that her parents had long forgiven her for her stubbornness back then.

It turns out that He Jing's father had already investigated Zhang Decai thoroughly. Back then, He Jing was love-struck. The two were college classmates, and everyone thought Zhang Decai was a "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success). However, He Jing was deceived by Zhang Decai's sweet words and believed that he truly loved her. He Jing even broke with her family to defend her love. But her happiness was short-lived. After He Jing gave birth to her daughter, Zhang Decai's true colors were revealed.

It turned out that he had already gotten engaged back in his hometown and was just waiting to get married as soon as he graduated. Li Mei's son, Zhang Zhipeng, was actually a month older than her daughter, Qingqing. This made He Jing unable to accept being deceived by her beloved husband. Finally, during an argument, the conflict escalated, and in the struggle, Zhang Decai slapped He Jing and said many insulting things to her.

Enraged, He Jing took her daughter and left Zhang Decai.

He Jing, a single mother, worked tirelessly, but she also harbored resentment, feeling ashamed for having encountered a scumbag. She was too embarrassed to go home and apologize to her parents. It was this situation that allowed He Jing, who studied design, to quickly make a name for herself in the fashion industry. Later, she was even recognized by a top master in China and taken on as an apprentice.

He Jing has been thankful for countless days and nights that she never told anyone related to Zhang Decai about her family background. Zhang Decai still thinks that He Jing is just an ordinary girl.

The reason Zhang Decai was arrested so quickly this time was partly because He Jing's father had collected evidence over many years and sent him to his death.

"Dad, Qingqing is very well-behaved and cute. I'll take Qingqing home after school this afternoon."

"Yes, bring the child back. Your mother and I can both take care of him."

He Jing's mother wiped away tears beside the phone, and He Jing's father's eyes were also filled with tears. It would be a lie to say that they didn't feel sorry for their only daughter, but she wouldn't grow up without experiencing something like this. Although this kind of growth is cruel, He Jing's parents felt that it was worth it, especially since they had such a lovely and well-behaved granddaughter.

The elderly couple watched from afar, tears welling in their eyes, as their daughter raised her granddaughter alone, but she had to walk this path by herself.

"An'an, you're back!"

Chu Yunzhi, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately stood up when she saw Chu Xingyue return. At this moment, she was more nervous to see her younger sister than to see her teacher.

Chu Nanzhi and Chu Jiaojiao, who were standing nearby, tactfully went to the main house.

"This is all the data from my experiments."

Chu Yunzhi pushed the computer on the coffee table in front of Chu Xingyue.

Chu Xingyue didn't say anything, and simply sat down on the sofa to start looking at the computer.

Chu Xingyue read it quickly, but it still took her an afternoon to finish.

Izumoko sat beside him, not daring to disturb him, her heart filled with unease.

Chu Xingyue remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was somewhat shocked. If given enough time, Chu Yunzhi could definitely grow to a terrifying level. Unfortunately, he was currently constrained in every way. She believed that her brother was not a research madman, but if he could not find relief and remained constrained, it was not impossible for Chu Yunzhi to become such a madman.

"Call Brother Nan and ask him to come over."

Chu Yunzhi couldn't guess what Chu Xingyue was thinking, but he did as she said.

A moment later, Chu Nanzhi pushed the door open and came in.

"Brother, what do you want?"

"An'an asked me to call you over."

"An'an?"

"Brother Nan, please sit down first. Brother Yun, please sit down too."

The two brothers sat opposite Chu Xingyue, who just stared at them. Chu Nanzhi looked completely bewildered, while Chu Yunzhi sat upright and proper.

"I've already seen all of Yunzhi's experiments, but..." Chu Xingyue paused, making Chu Yunzhi's heart leap into his throat.

Chu Nanzhi, however, was somewhat puzzled.

“Brother Yun, you can’t complete this research by yourself, so you need help.”

Chu Xingyue turned her gaze to Chu Nanzhi.

Why are you looking at me?

"Brother Nan, you're the helper."

"I can't, I don't do human experiments."

Chu Nanzhi strongly resisted this matter, believing it to be his bottom line.

"Even if I were to assist you, you still wouldn't agree?"

"What?"

Chu Nanzhi immediately stood up.

"An'an, what do you mean?" Even Chu Yunzhi was a little confused now.

"It's exactly what you mean," Chu Xingyue said, her eyes filled with encouragement as she looked at Chu Yunzhi, a thought that made Chu Yunzhi, who had been under her control for over a year and fighting alone, somewhat hesitant to even consider.

“You two brothers will take the lead, and I will assist you. You just need to do your work and don’t need to worry about the follow-up. I will handle everything. You just need to devote yourselves to the research.”

If you still don't understand what Chu Xingyue has said, you might as well go bang your head against a wall.

"If what you're saying is true, then I'll give it a try."

"Slap!" A slap landed on Chu Nanzhi's head.

"What do you mean by 'if'? Do you need An'an to explain it more clearly?"

"I'm going to die, I'm going to get a stroke from this beating." Chu Nanzhi grimaced as he rubbed the slap he'd received from his own brother.

"Brother, don't go back tomorrow. Get some rest early tonight and don't think too much. I'll take care of everything. I'm going to make a few phone calls."

The two brothers didn't know who Chu Xingyue was calling, and they received their transfer orders that very night.

The order essentially means that they will be conducting a secret research project and expect individuals to comply with confidentiality regulations.

The next morning, after breakfast, she told her family that she would be leaving home again for a while. Her family was used to Chu Xingyue's whereabouts, so no one was sad to see her go. She sent a message to Gu Yanci and then turned off her phone.

The three were soon picked up by the same inconspicuous official car.

The family members were all guessing that An'an's job this time was related to her two older brothers.

Not long after Chu Xingyue left, Chu Jiaojiao also returned to the military region alone.

An'an has more important things to do; what she needs to do is stay by her side not far away.
