The big leader restrained his expression and thought for a while...
"How long will it take?"
"It will take at least a month, depending on your recovery."
"One month is not bad. I have been recuperating at home during this period. Secretary Lu and Lao Liu are busy with many things..."
"I remember that Le Yao's backyard is very big, with about 20 rooms. We will clean it up when we get back. Secretary Lu and the second leader will have to run around. The soldiers standing guard in the small courtyard, the big leader still needs to consider it carefully."
"I remember... Wen Cheng's skills are pretty good. Your chief of staff has already reported the danger of this mission to me. You were able to avoid vital points at such a close distance and still hold on until you came back. I'm afraid no one in the entire military region can match your willpower and skills. When the time comes, you and your wife can live with me in the backyard. It will be convenient that way."
"Follow the arrangements of the senior leader."
Fu Wencheng had no objection to this. It was his responsibility to protect the big boss, and he could also work with his wife, so he would definitely not be alone in the future.
The matter was settled like this, Ming Leyao actually felt that this was a good idea, except that he had to think about the safety of the big boss..
Since they had decided to move to a new place, the big boss called Secretary Lu to start packing. Mr. He said he would come to pick them up the next day, and then he led everyone away.
When they got home, Grandpa He asked Xiao Li to go to the army and bring over a few skilled soldiers. He planned to have these soldiers live in the third courtyard, which would be close to the leader's backyard and would not disturb the leader's rest.
The few young soldiers who had been used to protect Ming Leyao in the yard had not left yet, so Grandpa He asked them to follow Ming Leyao and his wife to the backyard to clean up the house. Even Aunt Qian was not idle, as she was pulled to the backyard to start tidying up the slightly messy yard.
There were more than thirty rooms that had to be cleaned one by one, and each person was responsible for at least four. Fortunately, the security guard Xiao Li was fast enough. He went back and forth for less than an hour and brought in more than ten people to work. It was not until before dinner that all the thirty rooms were cleaned.
"The main house has three rooms. One is the residence of the senior leader, one is the study, and one is for receiving guests. The door to the backyard... I'll expand it a little and see if these people can do it later."
"Let me take care of this. I'll find someone who can make doors and make a new one."
"OK."
Ming Leyao handed the door matter over to her husband, and then asked someone to help move the existing furniture in the other empty rooms to the backyard.
She was afraid that there would not be enough time to buy new furniture, and she didn't know what her boss would bring. She could only put the more important ones in place first, and if there was a shortage, she would ask her grandfather to find a solution.
They were busy until after seven o'clock. Guard Xiao Li turned on the lights in the yard, moved out three tables, and followed Aunt Qian to start carrying out the pots of food one by one.
“Noodles made of white flour?”
"Fine food."
"Hey? Look, there are shredded meat in it."
"What's this white thing? An egg?"
"Is it so rich?"
Several young soldiers were standing in the yard, sighing one after another. Old Man He, who had just passed through the second courtyard, heard their worthless remarks from afar and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
"What are you doing? You don't act like soldiers at all. Go back and practice hard. Don't make a fuss out of nothing."
"Yes, Chief."
The young soldiers sat on the stools dejectedly, their backs straight, holding big bowls in their hands, slurping the food with relish. Old Master He glanced at these bastards, said nothing more, and turned back to his room.
It's still better to eat with my granddaughter..
"Grandpa, are you hungry? Come sit down and eat."
"It smells good. It must be the meal cooked by my granddaughter. It's delicious. By the way, have you and Wen Cheng packed up your things?"
"We've packed up and moved in. We'll live in the backyard tomorrow. If Grandpa misses me, he can come find us in the backyard."
"Le Yao, don't blame grandpa for giving you this job. As the saying goes, wealth and honor come with risk..."
"Grandpa, I understand."
"It's good to understand. It's good to understand."
Grandpa He was really afraid that if he had bypassed his granddaughter and made the decision for her, it would have created a rift between the two of them. But now that he thinks about it, it is still better to have his own granddaughter.
Understand him...
The busy day soon ended, Ming Leyao and Fu Wencheng returned to their cabin, and when they were about to go to bed...
Fu Wencheng suddenly said, "Wife, come with me to a place?"
"Huh? So late?"
"The big boss will be here tomorrow. We live in the backyard and are surrounded. It will be difficult to go out at night. This matter is very important to me. I am afraid that if we leave it too late, something unexpected may happen."
"Okay, I'll change my clothes then."
Ming Leyao didn't ask what was going on. Without saying a word, she changed into a pair of light black clothes, put on cloth shoes, and followed Fu Wencheng out of the courtyard at a very fast speed.
They never slowed down along the way. Ming Leyao was still worried about Fu Wencheng's physical condition. She asked him several times, but he said he could still hold on, so she didn't stop him.
After walking for more than an hour, we came to a street corner full of sycamore trees. Judging from the shape of the trees and the thickness of their trunks, they seemed to have been there for hundreds of years.
The houses on this street are all full of exotic style. They are all three-story European-style villas. They are unique and exquisite, but also have traces of mottled and vicissitudes of life.
"here..."
“This used to be a wealthy area, and many of the old houses of famous businessmen are here.”
"Then these people..."
"Many have gone abroad, a few have gone into hiding, and some have spent all their wealth and gained a good reputation. Now they are protected by the state, and this place has become a deserted area."
Ming Leyao suddenly thought of the rumors about the Fu family she had heard before...
I know that my man is here today, maybe it has something to do with the Fu family that left...
"I only lived in the old house when I was a child, so my memory is not particularly clear. I only roughly remember that it seemed to be these few households here..."
"We'll know once we go in and take a look. The houses here are basically the same on the outside, but there might be some differences inside. We'll just take our time looking for them."
"good."
Fu Wencheng took Ming Leyao and climbed over the wall into the courtyard.
It turns out that there are people watching over this area. It has been deserted for more than ten years. The people in Beijing all know that this is a restricted area. In addition, most of the things inside have been moved away, so no one would come here to risk climbing over the wall to steal things.
After a long time, the people who were watching naturally left.
The two men swaggered to the front door, and looking at the lock on the door, Fu Wencheng was in a dilemma.
How do I open this lock?
