Even though Professor Chu's sources of information were slow, he still heard fragments of what happened in the town.

Ge Xin saw that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to tell the truth.

Professor Chu knew that the students didn't want him to worry about them, so he just stayed here and spent his leisure time peacefully.

Now, Zhou Xiang came to the health garden with his family, and the first thing he did was to come to see the teacher, "Teacher, how are you doing recently?"

Professor Chu is already eighty years old and has been with his students for 20 years. During these 20 years, he has personally experienced and witnessed the ups and downs, joys and sorrows of ordinary life. Compared with his more than 60 years of ordinary life, his life is naturally fulfilling and happy.

"That's great! I don't have to worry about food and drink. Every day I can stroll by the lake and feed the swans. Then I can come back and listen to Xiao Ge read the news in the newspaper. It's very comfortable."

Xiao Ge, who is almost fifty years old, "..." In front of this old professor, he can only be Xiao Ge.

Seeing that the teacher was indeed in good spirits, Zhou Xiang felt relieved. "How is Mr. Hong's health? Any news?"

"Not very good," Professor Chu shook his head, his tone relatively calm. Too many old friends had passed away in recent years, and he had come to terms with it. As time went by, those who were meant to leave would eventually leave. "It'll probably just be a matter of a few months."

After thinking for a moment, Professor Chu gave another warning, "The capital has been a little too quiet lately, so you should be more careful. Don't release the liquid medicine if you can."

"It's gone," Zhou Xiang said with his eyes wide open. "The herbs are all used up. There are no replacements. There are only two or three left. I'm keeping them for emergencies."

"Alas," Professor Chu sighed softly, "If you had been more open-minded earlier, you wouldn't have to expose these things."

"Teacher, don't take it to heart," Zhou Xiang comforted Professor Chu. "You did it for me, a weak person. If I want power, I must pay for it. There is no free lunch in the world. The road is forged step by step. Until the end, no one knows which path they are on."

Well, the student was more insightful than him, so Professor Chu stopped thinking about it. "Are you here to relax? Any news about Zhou Niao?"

"No, but there's no need to bring any bad news. Let's just wait! Everyone at home has been very tired recently, so I'll bring them all here to relax."

"I heard Tongtong has a boyfriend?" Professor Chu asked about the latest news. He originally wanted to train his three children in scientific research, but later he saw that none of the three children were interested and Zhou Xiang had no such plan, so he gave up.

Who knew that these three children all had their own ideas. One planned to become an officer, one planned to spend a few years in the military camp and then come back to take over all their mother's businesses, and the other one actually planned to live a life of idleness and waiting to die.

Before filling out the college entrance examination application form, he talked with the three little guys for a long time. Not only did he fail to change anyone's mind, but he was also persuaded by the three of them.

They said that they would protect their mother in their own way and unite as one. University is just a formality. When they feel that their academic qualifications are not enough, they can go for recharge. When they grow up, they should share their mother's worries.

Professor Chu laughed out of anger and asked Ling Xiaotong if she became a parasite to share her mother's worries?

People nodded in agreement with a clear conscience, leaving one person to do nothing so that their mother's life would also be imperfect and not be envied and hated.

"Yes, it's Yan'er's friend, Yi Xiangfan from the Yi family in Beijing."

"Oh?" Professor Chu raised an eyebrow. The student's tone was calm, and it was hard to tell whether he was impressed or not. "It seems the Yi family is all involved in the public security, procuratorial and judicial circles. Yi Xiangdong and I are schoolmates, and we've crossed paths before."

Yi Xiangdong? Where's Yi Xiangfan's grandfather?

"Teacher, what do you think of Yi Xiangdong?"

Professor Chu fell into deep thought, and after a long while he said, "He's good at hiding, and hard to tell."

Zhou Xiang then told the teacher about the situation of the Yi family he had investigated. "Ling Ran feels that if Yi Xiangfan's uncles and second uncles are not the biological mother and son of Old Madam Yi, then everything about the Yi family would make sense."

"That should be it!" Professor Chu agreed. "Yi Xiangdong is the young master of a grain shop in Beijing. During the war, his father donated all his assets, leaving behind only a three-story courtyard house. If it hadn't been sold, it would be worth a lot of money now.

The first time I met him was on the campus of Hua University. The reason why I was impressed by him was that he was accompanied by a beautiful woman who was much younger than him and had two children. At that time, few students were willing to bring their wives to school, and he was one of the few.

Now that I think about it, that woman must have been his second wife. After all, most men at that time were married with their spouses, and men who entered university were generally unwilling to bring their spouses to campus.

Professor Chu saw the student was silent and asked, "Are you trying to break up this couple?"

"Not really," Zhou Xiang shook his head. "I'm still quite optimistic about Yi Xiangfan. After all, his status as a judge is a great safeguard. I'm just wondering how Yi Xiangdong could have managed to keep his second wife and two sons from revealing their identities to the public despite their love-hate relationship."

"Common interests!"

"Yes!" Zhou Xiang nodded. "I was thinking too much and was thinking about love. I'll ask Tongtong to bring her boyfriend over to show you later."

When Yi Xiangfan heard that he was going to meet Professor Chu, he insisted on washing, changing his clothes, and tidying up his appearance.

After some trouble, Cai Shanshan went downstairs and went to Building No. 1 with her girlfriend.

Zhou Xiang nodded secretly, thinking that his future son-in-law was quite polite and well-mannered.

It was not until lunch time that Ling Xiaotong and Yi Xiangfan returned from Building No. 1. Ling Xiaotong was smiling, while Yi Xiangfan looked helpless.

Upon inquiry, it turned out that Ling Xiaotong couldn't stand the dull conversation between Yi Xiangfan and Grandpa Chu, so she dragged him back.
