"Let me sit down and tell you slowly."

As soon as Huo Dongfang sat down on the sofa, Ye Fanxing thoughtfully handed him a cup of tea.

Ye Fanxing sat obediently opposite Huo Dongfang, watching Huo Dongfang's slender fingers hold the enamel cup and drink the Zhuyeqing tea.

"An investigation revealed that Cheng Jianshe was corrupted by illegal forces."

Ye Fanxing stared in astonishment, her voice trembling as she asked, "Uncle Huo, do you mean he betrayed the country?"

Huo Dongfang nodded almost imperceptibly.

For a moment, Ye Fanxing couldn't believe it.

With his high position, what else could Cheng Jianshe possibly be dissatisfied with?

He actually did such a thing!

Is he worthy of this military uniform?

How could he live up to Ye Heping's life-risking rescue?

wrong!

Ye Fanxing swallowed nervously and whispered, "Uncle Huo, I'm starting to suspect Cheng Jianshe of a conspiracy!"

"What theory?"

Huo Dongfangfu's magnetic voice rang out in the quiet living room.

Ye Fanxing spoke quickly and urgently.

"Conspiracy theory, you know. If Cheng Jianshe accepted so many gold bars, he must have done something that harmed the people's interests. Otherwise, would those people be stupid enough to give Cheng Jianshe such a valuable currency like gold bars for nothing?"

If Cheng Jianshe accepted the banknotes, they will definitely be able to find out where the money came from!

If it's gold that can be collected, who will check it carefully?

Moreover, gold is a strategic resource in any country.

Cheng Jianshe really knows how to play the game.

"What you said makes sense."

Since it involved classified information, Huo Dongfang did not go into further detail about Cheng Jianshe's crimes, but instead changed the subject to other members of the Cheng family.

“Cheng Jianshe used his position to seek personal gain for his family.”

"Cheng Xiao and Cheng Yun are discharged from the military."

"It has been confirmed that Liu Guiying did not participate in Cheng Jianshe's crimes and thus escaped death."

Ye Fanxing rested her chin on her hands, listening attentively and carefully.

Huo Dongfang couldn't help but think of Liu Guiying's crazy appearance. With her personality, she would never reflect on herself and would only blame all the mistakes on Ye Fanxing.

Ye Fanxing would be safer if she stayed in the military compound.

However, if Ye Fanxing were to return to the Ye family compound, given Liu Guiying's personality, who knows what heinous acts she might commit, such as murder or arson.

"Xingxing, Liu Guiying might retaliate against you, so don't be alone lately."

Liu Guiying is not a good person, and Ye Fanxing wouldn't be surprised by anything she does.

"Uncle Huo, I will be careful." Ye Fanxing thought about how the Ye family courtyard was currently vacant and wanted to find a reliable person to stay there. "Uncle Huo, I want to rent out the Ye family courtyard."

The Ye family courtyard was left to Ye Fanxing by Ye Heping.

Although Ye Fanxing wrote a suicide note before jumping into the river to commit suicide.

If she dies, the Ye family courtyard will be donated to the country.

Now that Ye Fanxing is alive and well, the Ye family courtyard is naturally still under her name.

Why do you want to rent out the Ye family courtyard?

Ye Fanxing: "Consider the rent as my living expenses during my university years."

Huo Dongfang put down his teacup, his gaze falling on the tea leaves floating in the cup.

"Xingxing, you don't need to worry about tuition and living expenses, I will take care of them."

Ye Fanxing said something without thinking.

"Uncle Huo, I can work part-time while studying."

Huo Dongfang's voice suddenly turned serious, "You are a student, you should prioritize your studies."

Ye Fanxing declined again.

"Consider it a loan from me."

Huo Dongfang was considerate of Ye Fanxing's fragile self-esteem and did not want her to feel uncomfortable in any way.

Ye Fanxing was secretly delighted, but on the surface she still pretended to be very lonely.

"Uncle Huo, then I'll write you an IOU."

With an IOU in place, a debt relationship exists between the two individuals.

Rounding it off, it's as if there's a line connecting the two of them.

This is roughly equivalent to taking a 1% step forward in Ye Fanxing's mission progress.

Although Huo Dongfang never intended for Ye Fanxing to repay the money, he readily agreed when Ye Fanxing asked to write an IOU.

"I have no objection to you writing an IOU, but I have one request."

Ye Fanxing sat up straight like an obedient primary school student.

"Uncle Huo, please tell me."

Huo Dongfang instructed, "You can't mistreat yourself just because you think it's borrowed money that you'll have to pay back later. You have to eat three meals a day normally, and you're not allowed to try to make money. You have to study hard. You're not allowed to save money."

Ye Fanxing was shocked.

She couldn't help but mentally complain about the novel's author again. Why did the author have to portray Huo Dongfang, such a good person, like this?!

I really want to send her razor blades!

angry!

"Uncle Huo, I understand."

Ye Fanxing reached for the pen and paper on the table and wrote the first IOU for Huo Dongfang.

"Uncle Huo, this is the IOU."

Huo Dongfang asked, puzzled, "I didn't lend you any money."

"This is the money you spent when you took me to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things." Ye Fanxing held the IOU she had just written timidly and uneasyly. "After my father's accident, everyone was polite to me on the surface, but I really experienced what it means to be forgotten after someone leaves."

A strange pain swept through Huo Dongfang's heart.

It's all his fault.

If he had been more careful back then, Ye Fanxing wouldn't have been tormented by the Cheng family for those four years.

"Uncle Huo, I still owe you a formal apology."

"I was unaware beforehand that Cheng Jian and Su Mingyue had drugged me. I vaguely heard their conversation."
