It's good to know what Gu Xiangdong is afraid of; once people have weaknesses, things become easier to deal with.
Sanqi has been conducting reconnaissance all this time, trying to find out Gu Xiangdong's whereabouts. Only after understanding the situation can he seize the opportunity to strike and give him a taste of "divine retribution" without exposing himself.
"Sanqi, why have you been so diligent lately? You've even been going out to exercise in the evenings now?"
"I'm just afraid my sister will come back and test me, so I have to pass muster."
Sanqi dared not tell his mother, what if she wanted to get involved? If he were found out, he could say he was just a child and didn't know any better. But if his mother found out, that would be bad.
"Okay, that's pretty high level of awareness."
Bonnie didn't think much of it; her son Sanqi had never lied to his family.
Recently, rents in Beijing have increased again, so Bao Ni has entrusted several of her properties to Liu Zi for rental management. Bao Ni pays him a fixed fee based on market rates. Liu Zi is reliable, so Bao Ni trusts him.
The phone rang, and when I answered it, I heard Liu Zi's voice; he was quite nagging. "Baoni, you mentioned before that you wanted to buy another house, and now there's a nice one available. Do you want to take a look?"
Liu Zi is now neglecting his main job; his work at the housing management office has almost become a part-time job, and his main job has become a real estate agent.
Bonnie hasn't had any major expenses in the past few years. With Gu Ye's salary and the rent from several properties, she actually has tens of thousands of yuan in her hands.
"Where? The courtyard or the storefront?"
“There are two shops in the wholesale market, each about 30 square meters. The owners are going abroad and they are in a hurry to sell.”
Liu Zi also liked it, but he didn't have any money. He had bought a house before and then a shop, which emptied his savings.
"Okay, I'll go take a look. The paperwork needs to be complete and the property needs to be transferable. You know that."
Bonnie didn't want to create any trouble that would make things difficult to resolve later.
"Baoni, you can trust me to handle things. If things go wrong, even without Gu Ye's help, Brother Han will kill me."
Liu Zi isn't doing one-off deals; he can't afford to ruin his reputation.
"Okay, I'll go over there tomorrow morning. Tell me the exact address, and we'll meet there."
"Mom, where are you going?"
Sanqi came in from outside and overheard the end of the conversation; his mother had just hung up the phone.
"Your Uncle Liu said there are two good shops and asked if I want to buy them. I'll go take a look tomorrow."
"Buying a storefront, that's not cheap, is it? Mom, our family is quite well-off!"
"We haven't spent much in the past few years, so we've saved some money. But it's not like we can just leave it there and expect it to grow. We bought a shop, which we can rent out and collect rent every month. It's a decent income. We may not become rich, but it'll be enough to live comfortably and at least we won't have to worry about money."
Bonnie felt that enough money was fine, and that too much would be a burden.
"Mom, you're so good. Because of your careful budgeting, my sister and I don't have to worry about making a living and can do what we like."
Sanqi hugged his mother, feeling that he was a very lucky person.
"It's good that you know. I hope you and Liu Jiu are safe and happy, doing the jobs you love and living a joyful life. Even if you can't make any great contributions to society, you must not do anything that harms society."
We are all ordinary people; let's be down-to-earth, take each step carefully, and live each day to the fullest.
"We will. We will never forget what our parents taught us."
The mother and daughter chatted about everyday things on this winter day, adding a touch of warmth to the cold winter.
Bonnie went to look at shops, busy buying a house. Sanqi wasn't idle either; after a period of investigation, he figured out Gu Xiangdong's movements.
This person is truly selfish and self-serving.
Sanqi discovered that Gu Xiangdong frequently went to a place not far from the compound, where there was a park. Outside the other gate of the park was a residential area of bungalows, which were the family quarters of some factories.
This area is very large and has a diverse population; I'm not familiar with almost anyone here.
Sanqi discovered that Gu Xiangdong would come out every day, ostensibly for a walk, and would cross the park to meet a woman in the Pingfang district.
The woman looked to be in her early forties, with a very calm demeanor and a soft-spoken manner. Sanqi had deliberately bumped into her a few times and knew that she was a single woman with a child in middle school.
I originally just wanted to scare Gu Xiangdong, but I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise. What would Xu Fang think if she found out about this?
Sanqi had planned to secretly lure Xu Fang over and let them fight it out. But before he could carry out his plan, his sister returned and discovered his secret.
"No, you can't get involved in this."
“Why is Dad so angry? It’s affecting his health. Like Dad said, Gu Xiangdong is a selfish person who only cares about himself. He doesn’t care about other people’s lives. Only when he is cut by a knife will he feel retribution.”
Sanqi was unconvinced; why wouldn't his sister agree?
"I don't care about him, but if you get involved, won't you feel guilty if something uncontrollable happens? What if there's an accident, won't they find out about you during the investigation?"
Don't tell me you'll be careful; once you've done something, there will be traces. It's not worth jeopardizing your future for such a selfish person. Your parents will be heartbroken. You're not standing up for Dad; you're stabbing him in the chest.
Liu Jiu gained a lot of experience at the military academy and learned a lot.
"Sis, I know, I was overthinking it. I just felt that Dad has had a tough time and I wanted to make him happy."
