Yun Huaying, who designed all this, was on the train to Kyoto at this time. After receiving the urgent telegram from Han Zheng that day, she immediately asked the team leader for leave and a letter of introduction, packed her simple luggage and set off.
Transportation in those days was far less convenient than in later generations. She had to transfer from Yang County to the city, and then took a train for most of the day to reach the provincial capital. She then transferred again in the provincial capital and took a train for two full days to reach Kyoto. This long journey made her exhausted.
After she bought the train ticket in the provincial capital, she called Song Nanfeng's office, so she saw Han Zheng as soon as she got out of the station.
"Hanako, are you tired?"
As soon as Han Zheng saw her, he immediately took off his military coat and put it on her. "The temperature in Kyoto is low, you are wearing too thin."
"It's not too cold."
Yun Huaying was wearing warm clothes inside, including a warm sweater and down jacket, and a simple cotton coat on the outside, which was more suitable for that era. She was also fully equipped with a hat, scarf and gloves, so she didn't feel cold.
"Come on, get in the car first. It's warmer in the car." Han Zheng helped her carry the luggage and pulled her along slowly.
He drove over in a jeep with a pot of hot ginger water in it, specially prepared for her. "Drink some to warm yourself up first, and we'll go home now."
"Do you have a house in Kyoto?"
"The company allocated me a house before, and then I officially retired, so the house was taken back. Now they have arranged another place for me to live."
Han Zheng has been living in his new home for the past two days. The house is not big, with two bedrooms and a living room. It is fully equipped with furniture and daily necessities. He can move in directly with his luggage.
Han Zheng thought that he would settle down and work in Kyoto in the future, and the Yun family would return to Kyoto sooner or later. So he discussed with her, "Huaying, let's buy an apartment in Kyoto. After the Liang family's affairs are settled, your uncle and his family can return to Kyoto to develop their careers, and you can also go to Kyoto to study. We should prepare the house in advance, and then we can just clean it up and move in."
Yun Huaying was thinking about this. She took off her mask and smiled brightly: "Han Zheng, I want to buy a few more sets."
"Ah? Buy a few more sets?" Han Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"Well, actually, my grandfather left me a lot of money, but I haven't used it before. I also plan to go to Kyoto to attend university in the future and bring my uncle and his family over. The assets left by my grandfather don't belong to me alone. I want to take advantage of the current low housing prices and buy a house for my uncle, aunt, and three cousins. Brother Jingmo and the others are of marriageable age and will be getting married in the future. I've prepared the house in advance as a betrothal gift and dowry for them."
Seeing that she had considered all this, Han Zheng smiled softly. He held the steering wheel with one hand and held her hand with the other. "Comrade Yun Huaying, Yun Jingmo is the older brother, Yun Chaoyan is the older sister, and you are the younger sister. They should worry about the betrothal gifts and dowry themselves."
"Actually, this was Grandpa's wish. I just fulfilled it on his behalf."
Yun Huaying remembered that before her grandfather died, what he was most worried about were his four grandchildren. He was afraid that they would be harmed, so he repeatedly told his uncle to protect them.
Han Zheng tightened his grip on her hand and took the initiative to take charge of the matter. "Huaying, what kind of house do you want to buy? I'll ask Nanfeng and the other brothers to help look into it. If we find a suitable one, we'll buy it this time."
"What kind of house do you like?" Yun Huaying asked him.
Han Zheng smiled brightly when he heard this: "I like everything you like."
"Then let's buy a courtyard house."
Siheyuan houses are cheap now, but their prices will be astonishing in the future. If there are houses available, she would like to buy more. However, the special period has not yet passed, and if the real estate transaction amount is too large and the number is too large, people will target and label her as a capitalist.
"Okay, since you like the courtyard house, we'll buy this one." Han Zheng listened to his future wife on such matters.
"We'll talk about the house later. First, tell me about Kyoto. Is the project I designed successful?"
"It's done."
Speaking of this, Han Zheng looked at her with admiration and doting eyes, and told her with a smile: "You caught a big fish this time."
"Which one of the Liang family?"
Yun Huaying had long expected that a big fish would be blown up, and was sure that it was one of the poisoned people.
When it comes to matters concerning the map, Mrs. Liang will definitely not let outsiders handle it. Besides, the map this time was found by Zhong Furong, whom they arranged, so the reliability of success is relatively high. She will definitely arrange a trusted confidant to get it.
"The second son of the Liang family, Liang Yiwen, was killed instantly, along with over a dozen others. Our preliminary investigation revealed that half of them were enemy spies, while the other half were already recruited and deeply intertwined with their interests."
At this point, Han Zheng's expression changed slightly. He frowned and told her, "Huaying, there's someone you might not expect."
"Hmm? An acquaintance?" Yun Huaying raised her eyebrows.
"You definitely haven't seen him, but his identity has been confirmed. His surname is Yun, and he's from a branch of the Yun family."
Yun Huaying narrowed her eyes: "A branch of the Yun family?"
"Yes, the name on the ID card is Yun Lixin, he's 64 years old, so he should be of the same generation as your grandfather."
"We've thoroughly researched his story. Thirty years ago, after the Yun family split up, Yun Lixin and his wife took their family to Country M. His wife and son died in accidents within five years of each other. Later, he and his two daughters returned to China and settled in Fujian Province."
"In the second year after he settled in Fujian, he remarried and had a daughter. His two daughters from his first marriage were already of marriageable age and had a bad relationship with their stepmother. Later, both sisters got married and immigrated to Country Y with their husbands."
"The three of them had lived in Fujian Province for many years. Yun Lixin had just started practicing medicine, and with his previous savings, he was able to make ends meet. But since the Special Period began, traditional Chinese medicine has been suppressed. Furthermore, since he had studied abroad and had two daughters living there, his life has changed dramatically. He was labeled a member of the Y faction and sent to an island for forced labor."
"However, his time in labor camp wasn't long, only three months before he returned. The house in Fujian Province was returned to him, but the three of them didn't live there. They sold the house, and their whereabouts have been lost since then."
Yun Huaying listened carefully and had a guess in her mind, "It seems that he had already been won over by the Liang family or someone else at that time. He was also the one who leaked the Yun family map."
"This man can be considered a traitor to the Yun family. He deserves to die."
Han Zheng felt no sympathy for him. Thinking about how he died, a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "When the gift you gave him exploded, he was right next to Liang Yiwen, and Liang Yiwen dragged him over to take the blame. When his body was dug out, the explosion had pierced his back. Liang Yiwen, who had dragged him over to take the blame, also died, but his body was intact."
A cold and ruthless light flashed in Yun Huaying's eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up: "I'm going to the Liang family tonight and give them some funeral couplets."
