Chapter 660: A Story Within a Story Escape

The gold mine incident had nothing to do with Zhao Sheng, but he and He Qi were work partners and lived in the same dormitory.

It would be a bit far-fetched to say that he, as a roommate, was completely unaware of the situation.

With doubts in mind, He Yanhao asked his colleagues to call Zhao Sheng to the police station for questioning.

It's a pity that I spent a whole day and got nothing.

Oil Ratzi confessed everything about his involvement in the mining. As for He Qi who insisted on resisting, it was only a matter of time before he could speak out.

There are deaths, and He Qi has to carry them on his own shoulders until Yang Wanchun is caught. Otherwise, if the family members go to the police station to ask for an explanation, who should they go to?

The gold mine case has come to a temporary end here.

But the truth is definitely not that simple. As the end of the year approaches, the police station has a lot of things to do and the case is almost closed.

But He Yanhao relied on his intuition and always felt that he had only grasped part of it.

Both groups of people who were digging said that the news came from the road. So where did this news come from?

He always remained puzzled about this.

…

After the typhoon in Hong Kong has passed.

Ding Li was also familiar with the gang's operations and various rules. Compared with other members who joined 7X2K, it was really difficult for him to convince others as an airborne member with the title of son of a branch.

In addition, Ding Yan had already taken over the Li branch, so naturally there were more people who did not submit to Ding Li.

Fortunately, Ding Li didn't come to the gang to take over the "Li" branch, so he kept a calm mind.

When you are suddenly faced with the brutal violence in a dark corner, you need some mental adaptation process.

It also makes his relationship with Lin Yiyi more precious and rare.

After the beginning of autumn, the weather in the port city became a little cooler.

Apart from working for the gang, Ding Li basically returns to the mid-mountain area when he has free time.

But his sudden busyness and fatigue after not going home for several days still made Ding's mother, Huo Nina, realize that something was wrong.

It didn't take long to realize that it was my husband's arrangement.

A quarrel also started.

"Ding Qiming! I've told you more than once that Eli should not join a gang. Why don't you listen? He's your biological son. Why do you insist on letting him get involved in those dangerous situations?"

"What kind of people are in this gang? Do you have to teach them bad things to feel at ease?"

Huo Nina pressed the question aggressively, not caring at all about her elegant image maintained over the years. She felt that she was being played around by the father and son.

“…”

Ding Qiming had made up his mind and had long known how his wife would react. She had lived a simple life all her life, thinking that the world was only black and white, with no third color.

He had no choice but to keep it a secret and delay it.

Huo Nina's eyes turned red with anger. She questioned her husband, "Why don't you say anything? Don't you have anything to say? Ding Qiming, I am so disappointed in you."

"Nina, I can guarantee my son's safety. It's a done deal. Wait a few years..."

"What do you mean by a few years? If I leave the gang in a few years, will everything Eli has been through be erased? I've told you countless times that my wish is simple. As long as my family can live a simple and happy life, that's enough."

"Are fame, fortune and money so important to you? Eli is my only son, and I raised him with great care. I just want him to be happy for the rest of his life. Is this a difficult request?"

"You won't be satisfied until he becomes like you?"

…

Huo Nina only seeks simple spiritual happiness, while Ding Qiming is concerned about the reality and the future of his family.

Because of different thinking logic, quarrels are unsolvable and society is not worry-free.

In the end, Huo Nina didn't get a word of compromise from her husband. After thinking it over for a night, she decided to leave in anger.

Maybe when she doesn't know, she won't think about it.

Ding Qiming will not change his decision and is thinking of letting his wife go home or go abroad to relax for a while.

...

The mistress of the Ding family was not at home, and Mr. Ding rarely returned to his home in the Mid-Levels.

In addition, Ding Li often didn't come back for several days, so the house became empty and there was less to do.

Lin Yiyi completely lived a life of getting paid but not having much work to do.

I had too much free time and spent most of my time learning languages.

As for passing the message to Ding Yan, it was even more reasonable to say that he didn't know.

"Come and take a look at your interest book." Ding Yan threw the book at her with a dark face, and got angry when he saw that she looked like a hopeless case.

If she were a man, she would have beaten her several times.

Lin Yiyi flipped through it perfunctorily and glanced through it in a few seconds. She didn't even pay attention to how much money was written on it.

She had no intention of paying back the debt, let alone the interest.

She raised her head and began to pretend to be wronged, her tone was also very pitiful, "Am I not doing what Brother Yan said? Even if I don't talk about the credit, I have worked hard.

I've been working for almost a year and I haven't earned a cent. I lost it all. I didn't ask Brother Yan to pay me a cent. Why am I being charged so much interest now?"

"Brother Haoyan, can you please be kind? Young Master Ding hasn't returned to his Mid-Levels residence, so how can I get the news?"

Ding Yan frowned: "Don't try to be so rude. How many times have you stolen my coin box? I asked you to bargain it down to 80,000 yuan from 100,000 yuan, and then you bargained it down to 60,000 yuan some time ago.

I think you are getting more and more arrogant. "

He threw the cookies into the bag and didn't eat any more of the cookies she baked, for he was afraid of hearing Lin Yiyi's nonsense about treating him as her brother and that he looked like a relative.

Lin Yiyi stopped being stubborn and pretended to be well-behaved and obedient, "...I know, I will try my best.

Goodbye, I'm going back now. I'll bring some baked egg tarts to Brother Yan next time."

The serious atmosphere in the office didn't last long. When he saw her reaching out to take the coin on the table, Ding Yan pretended not to see it.

"Don't forget why you came to the Ding family. When the debt is paid off, you don't have to report to me anymore."

"Okay, got it."

....

After returning to the Ding family in the Mid-Levels, Lin Yiyi had nothing to do and followed the cook to learn how to make pastries.

At the same time, he also kept an eye on Xia Fu.

Fortunately, she was only on guard for a few days. At the end of the month, Butler Mo fired Xia Fu on the grounds that there was not much work to do at home and he wanted to lay off some employees.

Lin Yiyi also moved into a more spacious single room.

Things seem to be moving in the right direction.

She and Ding Li were also seen on the streets of Hong Kong.

Tea restaurants, western restaurants, various street shops, and dock snacks.

As long as the food is delicious, Ding Li will make time to ask Lin Yiyi to visit the store and taste it.

Today is the day when a new fast food restaurant opens.

After Lin Yiyi arrived, she realized that it was a modern Grandpa's restaurant. Eating the long-missed fast food made her feel like she had returned to the modern era in an instant.

Ding Li saw that she was enjoying the food and laughed, "Is it so delicious?"

"Yeah." Lin Yiyi nodded and took another sip of happy water.

"Let me have a taste."

“…”

Lin Yiyi glared at him and used the same trick again, saying that he was stingy because he always treated everyone, and that he was generous because he only bought one portion every time.

She took out her wallet and pushed it to him, mumbling, "Order another portion if you want."

Ding Li still smiled and pursed his lips, glanced at his wallet, picked up a French fry and dipped it in ketchup to feed her. She didn't want to get close to him, so he just needed to take the initiative.

Seeing that she ate as usual, the smile on the corner of his mouth showed even more joy.

"Don't feed me all the time. You can have fries, but not Coke and burgers."

Lin Yiyi had food in her mouth and her words were a little unclear.

"When will you marry me?"

Lin Yiyi almost choked when she heard him say that suddenly. She choked while drinking Coke and swallowing the hamburger. She then reached out and poked the back of his hand to remind him.

"There are people all around, why are you talking nonsense again?"

Ding Li poked the back of her hand back, "Then when are you willing?"

Every time he said this he was very serious, but the answer he got was always a rejection.

"have no idea."

"Then I'll ask next time."

In response to his persistence, Lin Yiyi could only roll her eyes at Ding Li.

This question also lasted from midsummer, late autumn, all the way to winter.

Fortunately, there is no winter in Hong Kong, only the solar terms marked on the calendar.

…

Beibianze County

There is a cold wind every day and the temperature is getting lower and lower.

By the end of the year, there was real progress in the source of the gold mine news.

After He Yanhao's in-depth investigation, he finally found the person who leaked the news.

The person who spread the news was just a retired old man who liked to drink and brag to others. He got the news about the gold mine from an ancient book of county annals, and he didn't take it seriously. Later, he sold the book as scrap.

But this statement is totally untenable. When compared with the people at the scrap yard, they said they had never confiscated any books, only some stools and tables. Who would spend money to collect such junk books?

Finally, the retired old man said that he sold the book to a young man who drove a truck, giving a vague description of his appearance and speaking with an accent.

It is also related to the gold mining case, so the scope is narrowed a lot.
