Li Jianmei added, "He was originally with us, but this time, I heard from my father that there was something on the mainland that required him to go back quickly, so he got off the ship when he was in Taiwan."
Chen Rou nodded and then asked, "What kind of work does Li Gang usually do when he's on the ship?"
Li Jianmei clearly didn't understand, and just then Secretary An reached out, and she immediately turned around to look at Wan Daozai.
Chen Rou said, "Other mules rest when they're not working, right? So what does he usually do?"
Seeing that Secretary An had only tested Wan Daozai's breathing and hadn't done anything else, Li Jianmei turned back to chat with Chen Rou. She said, "He's closest to my dad, so he's, well... the manager of the mules."
Chen Rou had heard Li Xia talk about Li Gang, who was a fool who couldn't even get into high school, which was why he got married so early.
Of course, a person's poor academic performance does not necessarily mean that they have a problem with their emotional intelligence.
Li Gang's dowry and overseas travel expenses were paid by Li Xia. Although it was partly due to her parents' influence, Chen Ke did not object to Li Xia contributing money, and Li Xia did contribute money, which proves that Li Gang has good emotional intelligence.
Since Li Jianmei said he had experience with the mules, he must be a minor leader.
If he disembarked in Taiwan, could it be because there was a group of people in Taiwan who were going to the mainland?
However, the answer is obvious: Li Gang is currently in mainland China.
This inevitably made Chen Rou feel a little regretful, because she also had to get rid of Li Gang. However, in the Philippines, where there is no organization or discipline, it is easy to do things. But in mainland China, let alone killing someone, it would be difficult to even sentence someone to death.
Seeing Chen Rou's solemn expression, Li Jianmei also felt quite nervous and specifically said, "Zizai-ge has nothing to do with him either."
After thinking for a moment, he corrected himself, saying, "No, Brother Zai Zai has no relation to anyone."
Secretary An's daughter, who was about the same age as Li Jianmei, noticed the little girl's nervousness and patted her on the shoulder, saying, "Little one, don't be too nervous. Chen Jiahao is our boss's employee, and our boss..."
The more he acted like this, the more nervous Li Jianmei became. The girl tried to avoid him, but fell backward onto the bed, her elbow hitting Wan Daozai's chest. He was unconscious and didn't seem to mind, but Jianmei was heartbroken and turned around to pat Wan Daozai's chest, asking, "Brother Zaizai, are you alright? Brother Zaizai, you're not going to die, are you?"
Secretary An has been following the boss closely recently and has overheard Chen Rou saying that she wants to adopt the girl.
Although the boss had already asked him to submit the documents, he still wanted to do something unexpected, such as persuading the boss's wife to give up the idea of adopting the girl, so he deliberately said: "It can be seen that the father and daughter have a very deep relationship."
Just then, the boy from Taiwan slowly opened his eyes. Always one to smugly expressive, he immediately gasped, "Okay, okay, girl...girl, don't cry, crying will...will..."
But when his gaze fell on Chen Rou, he paused, smiled, and then, feeling tired, fell silent.
Secretary An wished he could immediately classify Li Jianmei as being born to a Taiwanese man, and he implied to Chen Rou that the Taiwanese man was aware of the situation, so he smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Chen, congratulations on having a daughter."
Sure enough, the Taiwanese guy was taken aback for a moment, but then immediately perked up: "I'm still a virgin."
What Secretary An didn't know was that although he was tall, he was actually only 23 years old this year. Moreover, his family had experienced a change when he was 20 years old. At that time, because his father was quite strict, this nightclub prince had not yet been deflowered and was still a virgin. Of course, he didn't believe that a virgin would suddenly have a daughter.
Secretary An, being a veteran of three administrations, is naturally very emotionally intelligent. However, he made a fatal mistake by not taking the Taiwanese girl seriously. He said, "But this girl loves you very much. She has taken care of you all the way, just like your daughter."
The boy from Taiwan looks mature because he was traumatized in the park; he is actually not that old.
Upon hearing this, he became even more furious: "Jianmei is my half-sister!"
He asked, panting heavily, "What on earth are you doing?"
In response, Li Jianmei suddenly pulled out a scalpel from somewhere and, with a shout, pointed it at Secretary An.
Secretary An was a frail scholar, powerless to even kill a chicken, and he quickly hid behind Chen Rou.
But he didn't forget to advise Chen Rou: "Third Aunt, this girl's emotions are a bit abnormal, let's call a doctor."
It wasn't that Li Jianmei was acting strangely; rather, to her, everyone except Wan Daozai was a stranger, and she was almost thrown into the sea by her most trusted father on the boat.
If it weren't for her father's constant mistreatment, beatings, and bullying, and if it weren't for her having a Taiwanese boy as a source of comfort, this girl would have developed PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder.
The reason she was able to remain calm and communicate with people was entirely to protect Wan Daozai.
If she has a gut feeling that someone is going to harm Wan Daozai, she will immediately lash out and fight back.
Chen Rou mediated, first gesturing for Secretary An to walk away before saying to the girl, "Don't worry, Jianmei, we won't hurt your Zizai brother, and we'll help him get treatment until he's better."
The illness in Taiwan had been brewing for a long time, and the sudden outbreak after the situation had stabilized is why the fever was so severe.
However, he had been given good medicine since they were in the Philippines, which had restored his health. In addition, the sudden fright from Secretary An had sobered him up considerably, and he was only concerned with one question: "What daughter?"
Then Chen Rou said, "Although I often go to nightclubs, I have never done anything bad."
