Aunt Wei was going to live in Kyoto from now on, so Lao Liao told her about the life and customs of people in Kyoto.

Yueyue stayed with her grandmother, listening intently.

Old Zeng can go anywhere; wherever Yueyue goes, he follows.

Everyone was enjoying the beautiful scenery while chatting.

This beautiful scenery broadened the horizons of not only Aunt Wei, but also Chunyang, Xiaohu, Wei An, and Wei Ping.

Shen Ruomei went to see Lao Han with Song Yan. Actually, Shen Ruomei wanted to go with Yueyue the most, but she was worried about Song Yan because he was heavily pregnant. Xia Juntao definitely went with Song Yan.

Everyone returned around noon.

Song Yan and Shen Ruomei happened to run into Mrs. He, who turned her head away.

"A bunch of bumpkins!" Old Mrs. He sneered.

Song Yan was new to the area, and she also had many children at home. Now that she was pregnant, she had limited energy and didn't want to cause trouble.

Shen Ruomei was furious.

Song Yan stopped Shen Ruomei from saying anything more.

When they arrived at Song Yan's courtyard, Shen Ruomei was furious. "How can someone be so shameless?"

"Sigh, if she had any shame, she wouldn't be this kind of person," Song Yan said.

Xiao Hu immediately asked what happened, and Shen Ruomei told him what had just happened.

Yueyue listened intently.

Everyone naturally started complaining.

Lao Liao: "The current situation and policies are different from before."

No matter how envious she is, it's useless.

Song Yan is right; after all, they're new here.

Although Mrs. He was quite annoying, no one took her seriously; after all, she was just someone to get by with.

When Wei Aiguo returned, he told Lao Zeng about the situation in his two courtyards.

The two courtyards are of different types, one with two courtyards and the other with one. Because of their excellent location, only very distinguished families could afford to live there. Therefore, there was virtually no unauthorized construction or alterations. The damage they caused to the courtyards was minimal.

Wei Aiguo asked Lao Zeng for his opinion.

Old Zeng: "Even with a thousand mansions, one can only sleep in eight feet of space at night."

I'll live exactly as you arrange it.

Since Old Zeng said so, Wei Aiguo decided to take charge of repairing the house.

In the afternoon, Song Yan will rest at home. Xiao Hu wants to wander around.

Yueyue ran around outside, and Lao Zeng followed her. Di Jianjun followed Lao Zeng.

When Shen Ruomei arrived in the morning, she quietly told Wei Aiguo that her father wanted Wei Aiguo to report to the army in the afternoon.

This is not a private matter.

Wei Aiguo went out shortly after lunch.

It's quite a distance to the military base; it requires two bus transfers. Of course, Wei Aiguo needs to leave early.

When Wei Aiguo stood in front of Shen Changchuan, he glanced at his watch. The time showed that Wei Aiguo had set off very early, and he was quite satisfied.

"Come with me!" Shen Changchuan stood up and led Wei Aiguo into a place marked as a military stronghold.

This is a military base, but all the soldiers are fully armed.

Shen Changchuan opened the heavy door and touched the switch.

"Snap!" The room lit up instantly.

The change in light was so drastic that it took Wei Aiguo a while to adjust before he could see the things that filled half the room.

Porcelain, jade, ancient paintings, and all sorts of other collectible items.

Wei Aiguo remained silent: Why should I look at these things?

Shen Changchuan: "Why do you suspect there's something fishy about the underground of the house that Su Zhaohai burned down?"

It would be a lie to say Wei Aiguo wasn't surprised; Su Zhaohai had actually hidden so many things. However, he couldn't truthfully answer Shen Changchuan's question.

He couldn't possibly say that besides the inspiration from the local products, his wanderings through the flea market sparked his imagination! Wei Aiguo didn't want to say that.

He knew exactly what was valuable in the flea market, and those things couldn't be burned.

Wei Aiguo: "I think people who love money and wealth would definitely not be willing to burn all their good things. Is there a secret way to do this?" This is just one of the reasons for the speculation.

Shen Changchuan: "There's a cellar under the house. It was discovered after several investigations; it's very well hidden."

Unfortunately, Su Rui could not be apprehended on the spot.

There was no clue in this document that any opinion was related to Su Zhaohai.

There wasn't a single gold bar with a logo.

I asked Old Zeng, and he said that more than just those few gold bars were taken from his house.

Wei Aiguo: "Was this gold bar something my godfather left at home and then taken away?" It wasn't something underground that was dug up.

Wei Aiguo and Song Yan did not mention the gold bars to Lao Zeng, for fear that the gold bars were indeed dug out of the ground.

If that's the case, then it's not.

Shen Changchuan didn't understand why Wei Aiguo asked that question, so he nodded.

Wei Aiguo asked Shen Changchuan, "Your men saw with their own eyes that Su Rui came here to take things. Isn't that enough to investigate Su Zhaohai?"

Shen Changchuan: "The people who follow Su Rui are my own people."

Given Su Zhaohai's rank, it's not permissible to track him and his family without permission from higher authorities.

I don't have that authority. And I'm only assisting in the investigation of Su Zhaohai.

Even though Su Zhaohai has been transferred and demoted, I still don't have the right to monitor others without my permission.

These items were temporarily placed here after we discovered them.

The final investigation won't be conducted with me.

The searches of these items were all conducted in secrecy. I would suggest that the department taking over the case adopt a wait-and-see approach.

Su Zhaohai is a very patient person; he will not act rashly.

This method may take a long time, but we must be patient and wait.

So many things, priceless. I don't believe he'd give them up.

Wei Aiguo understood Shen Changchuan's meaning; now he could only wait.

Shen Changchuan: "Let's pretend that your stalking of Su Rui never happened after Su Rui died!"

Just focus on being a soldier; these things have nothing to do with you.

"Each department has its responsibilities, and each person has their own responsibilities." Shen Changchuan finished speaking and looked at his son.

Shen Changchuan was able to let Wei Aiguo know some things about Su Zhaohai, and that Su Rui's death was purely due to personal reasons, which was absolutely unacceptable from an official standpoint.

Shen Changchuan's rank cannot exceed his responsibilities; he cannot extend his reach beyond that.

If Wei Aiguo doesn't understand this, he will ruin himself.

Today, he is going to teach Wei Aiguo this...

When Wei Aiguo came out, the setting sun was a little dazzling.

Wei Aiguo understood what Shen Changchuan was talking about. Did he think he would lose his temper and do something he shouldn't? No.

He has a wife and children, an elderly mother, and Wei Ping and Wei An are still young…

Dealing with Su Zhaohai requires patience, and Wei Aiguo has it. He once waited in the snow for a whole day and night for his prey.

He had long since developed this patience.

Moreover, Shen Changchuan said that the current situation could undergo earth-shattering changes.

Wei Aiguo had learned some things from Song Yan, so he wasn't surprised when Shen Changchuan told him.

Judging from the relaxed policies, Wei Aiguo felt that Xiaohu could do so much. He would go back and make plans for Xiaohu. This child had only been in Kyoto for a few days, and he was already impatient to stay.
