Blurb One:
For the past few days, gossip about Director Jiang’s family has spread at the state-owned cotton factory in hushed whispers. It’s said that his unruly youngest son is causing troub...
Seeing the look in his wife's eyes, Jiang Che shook his head slightly: "It has nothing to do with my family. We haven't figured out the origins of these people yet. It's not a good idea to call the police rashly." If possible, Jiang Che wanted to call the police right away even more than Wei Xuan. At least Ge Huai was caught before any losses were caused, and those who were deceived by him would have less resentment.
Wei Xuan thought so too. She was just too anxious about her second brother's matter. After feeding the last spoonful of egg into Yuan Lang's mouth, Wei Xuan called Liu Ying over and said, "Sister-in-law, take Yuan Lang to play in the house for a while. Just let him sleep in our place at noon. I'll go over to look after him after we finish talking."
"Oh, I understand."
After the child was taken away, Brother Wei couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Why can't we call the police? What if they run away? Or brother-in-law, why don't you go ask your cousin?"
"Third brother, if I really go find my cousin, there will be no turning back for this matter."
Brother Wei murmured, "How could that be?"
Seeing that he still didn't understand, Jiang Che took a piece of vegetable and ate it, then took a sip of wine before explaining: "Third brother, I don't have a good relationship with my cousin." After saying this, he put down his chopsticks and continued: "As for calling the police, so far, we have no evidence to prove that the group of people are scammers, right? Everything is just our speculation. To put it another way, even if I find a connection and ask the police to help us file a case, if they have a criminal record, then it's fine. If we find out, we will be considered a good person and help the villagers avoid a scam. But have you ever thought about what if they are not scammers? Or if they are indeed scammers, but this is just their first order, and they were innocent before, without any criminal record. It will be difficult for us to step down then."
This time, Third Brother Wei understood without Jiang Che explaining. If this was really the case, not to mention helping Second Brother get the money back, it would be hard for them to get through with the villagers. Stealing someone's money is like killing their parents. Although it is not that serious, it is certain that everyone will be unhappy. At that time, it would be difficult for the Wei family to make a living in the village, not to mention that they still have to rely on the villagers to do the grain business.
This is really a dilemma. If I don't call the police, I'm afraid they will run away with the money. But if I call the police, I have no evidence. Brother Wei scratched his hair and asked unwillingly, "Is there really nothing we can do about them?"
...
...
Wei Xuan comforted her third brother, "Brother, don't worry. Didn't Jiang Che just say that he would ask someone to investigate? Once the situation is clear, things will be easier to handle later." What she was afraid of now was that the other party would run away before the situation was investigated clearly.
So you have to act fast.
Jiang Che also said, "Yes, after dinner I will go out and ask my friends to help investigate. If that group of people really came from Shanghai, I really would have no idea where to start. Now that Ge Huai is involved, things will be much simpler."
Jiang Che has no connections in Shanghai, but he knows a lot of people in Beijing. It is very simple to investigate Ge Huai.
Hearing that his brother-in-law had found a solution, Third Brother Wei felt much more relieved. Originally, Wei Xuan wanted to keep him at home and wait for news, but he said he would stay in Beijing for a few days and come over tomorrow, so Wei Xuan did not force him.
Jiang Che also went out to ask his friends for news, while Wei Xuan yawned, went back to the room, hugged her son and took a nap.
Finally, he was awakened by Jiang Yuanlang. Wei Xuan grabbed his little hand and said, "Let me see if it's broken. It hurts so much to hit someone."
"Well...get up...get up."
"Okay, get up. You little ancestor. I, your mother, finally got a chance to sleep in." Wei Xuan carried her son out. Liu Ying was sitting under the porch picking beans.
"Sister-in-law, Jiang Che hasn't come back yet?"
"No," Liu Ying raised her head and said, "There is rock sugar lotus seed soup in the kitchen. Would you like to drink some?"
"Okay." I had no appetite at noon and ate little, so I was a little hungry now. "What are we having today, Yuen Long?" This kid would have an extra meal every day after waking up from a nap.
Liu Ying patted the dust off her hands and stood up: "I steamed a bowl of pumpkin for him."
"Okay, bring it here and I'll feed him first." Wei Xuan did not follow Liu Ying to the kitchen. She sat on a chair and put her son in the child chair. This child chair was brought back by Jiang Che when he went to Yangcheng before, but the child was too young to sit steadily before, but now it fits him just right.
After putting the bib on him, Liu Ying brought out a bowl of pumpkin. Wei Xuan took it, smelled it, and scooped a spoonful with a spoon and praised: "This pumpkin is good, sticky and fragrant. Is it the one you brought back from your hometown last time?" Before, Wei Ming held a graduation banquet, and when he came back, Wei's mother insisted that he bring it back. Wei Xuan thought it was too troublesome at the time, but now it seems that this pumpkin is really good.
"That's it. Old pumpkin is delicious."
Wei Xuan smelled the fragrance of pumpkin and suddenly felt a little greedy: "Steam more tonight, and we will try it too."
"Ah...times, times..." Yuan Lang stared at the bowl of pumpkin with his eyes almost drooling. Seeing that Wei Xuan was busy talking but not feeding him, he became very anxious.
"Stop yelling, stop yelling." Wei Xuan fed the pumpkin into his mouth: "It's as if I haven't fed you enough normally. You can't even wait for this little bit of time."
Jiang Yuanlang didn’t understand his mother’s complaints. He was happy as long as he could eat something delicious.
After Wei Xuan fed him all the pumpkin in her hand, she picked up a bowl of lotus seed soup and started drinking it.
"By the way, I've been so busy lately that I forgot to ask, your eldest son should be in school, right?"
Liu Ying nodded and smiled, "I did, I took the train the day before yesterday."
"Then leave your daughter alone at home? Wouldn't that be unsafe?"
"No, the neighbors in the yard are all nice, so it shouldn't be a problem."
Wei Xuan still felt that it was not a big deal to let the little girl live alone, so she said, "Sister-in-law, don't blame me for being nosy. There are still a lot of bad people these days. We can't be lucky. If something happens, it will be too late to regret. Why don't you ask their school if they can provide accommodation and let her live there, or move here. It's just that it may be a bit far from where she goes to school."
"How could that be? I know you have good intentions." After hearing what Wei Xuan said, Liu Ying also felt that she had not thought it through before, and she couldn't let what happened to her happen again to her daughter.
However, regarding the two options that Wei Xuan just mentioned, she still had to go back and ask her daughter’s opinion.
Seeing that she had taken it in, Wei Xuan didn't say anything more. She just said, "If you want to take a leave, you can tell me in advance. I'm free recently. You can go back and take care of the child's affairs before coming back."
"Thank you. I...I will go home tomorrow." After hesitating for a moment, Liu Ying made a decision.
"Okay, or you can just make dinner and go back in the evening."
The two of them sat there chatting idly. Wei Xuan didn't go to the store either. She mainly wanted to wait for Jiang Che to come back to see if he had found out anything. As a result, she waited until the evening.
"Hush, the child is asleep."
The noise Jiang Che made when he opened the door was a bit loud, so Wei Xuan reminded him.
Hearing this, Jiang Che slowed down his pace, walked to the crib and took a look at his son. He was indeed sleeping soundly like a piglet, with his fists clenched beside his head, and his little belly rising and falling with his breathing. He looked much cuter than when he was noisy during the day. Jiang Che leaned over and kissed him on the forehead, then walked to the big bed and sat down.
Wei Xuan asked anxiously, "Did you find out anything?"
Jiang Che chuckled: "You would never have thought that Ge Huai was the mastermind behind this matter."
"Ah?" I never expected that he had this ability.
While the two were chatting about Ge Huai, the person involved, Ge Huai, was driving, taking the man sitting in the passenger seat, turning around and around, and finally stopped at the gate of a farmhouse.
"Ge Huai, are you sure this is a place where you can make a lot of money?"
"Brother-in-law, don't be anxious. Wait until I take you in and you'll know."
It turned out that the man sitting in the passenger seat was Jiang Che's second brother-in-law, Nie Yuande.
A few years ago, after his and Ge Huai's plan against Jiang Che failed, he was caught by Jiang Che with evidence of cheating. Although Jiang Erjie chose to forgive him at the time, Jiang Che still made some small moves in private and cooperated with his mortal enemy to keep him in his current position as director, so that he could never be promoted again.
In order to get the Jiang family's forgiveness, he broke up with Zhang Xin. He had been depressed for the past few years, while Jiang Che, the culprit, was becoming more and more prosperous and making a lot of money from business. He also had some thoughts and wanted to go into business, but he had no way to do it.
Last time at Jiang Yuanlang’s first birthday party, Nie Yuande saw Ge Huai making a fortune from nowhere and was able to buy a car in such a short time. He knew that his chance had come!
It's not like the two haven't met each other in the past few years, but everyone knows what happened before. Naturally, these two people with interests above all else will not have any intersection with someone who can't provide any help to them.
In addition, because their partnership was not successful, the two did not break up, but they were a little unhappy. This time they were able to hook up again, thanks to their common enemy Jiang Che.
Otherwise, Ge Huai would not have taken Nie Yuande's kindness and brought him here. He still clearly remembered how Nie Yuande belittled him at the beginning.
Ge Huai took the lead and stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door.
"Who is it?" Soon a low and alert voice came from inside.
"It's me, Ge Huai."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door creaked open from the inside: "Brother Huai, you're here?" After he said that, he realized that there was a man standing behind Ge Huai.
Following his gaze, Ge Huai turned around and introduced him: "This is my brother-in-law, one of us. Where are Deng Yang and Qiu Shi? Are they asleep?"
"No," the man nodded to Nie Yuande and moved aside to let the two in. "Brother Deng and Brother Qiu are settling accounts in there."
“Oh, how much did you earn today?”
Speaking of this, the man's serious face smiled a little: "I haven't calculated it yet, but it's more than the past few days. It shouldn't be less than 5,000."
"Five thousand?" Nie Yuande, who had been silent since he opened the door, couldn't help but exclaim.
Ge Huai, who was walking in front, seemed to find this reaction very funny. He turned around and asked with a smile, "Why? Now you know I didn't lie to you, brother-in-law."
"Is this really a day's earnings?" Nie Yuande stared at Ge Huai's eyes, as if trying to see if he was lying or not.
"Of course, this is not much," Ge Huai said with a slight smile: "Come on, go in, I'll introduce you to my other two partners." He walked to Nie Yuande, put his arm around his shoulders, and led him into the house with an attitude of a good brother, and soon disappeared into the night.
"So, it was Ge Huai and his two friends who led this scam, and the others were just minions." Wei Xuan asked in disbelief, "How did you find out so much in just one afternoon?"
Section 129
Logically speaking, shouldn't this kind of thing be done in secret? Even if Ge Huai is not smart, he probably won't tell anyone about it.
