A-Yuan's memory is indeed far beyond that of ordinary children of his age.
But he was too young to move around freely and was forced to follow the adults. When he realized how much fun other children had, he felt that his own life was no longer fun, and naturally he became unhappy.
Back at the hotel at noon, he listlessly stirred his rice with a spoon, still clutching his bamboo dragonfly tightly.
The child fell asleep before finishing his meal, but woke up immediately when the nanny tried to spin the bamboo dragonfly.
Upon seeing this, Chen Rou quickly said, "Don't take it away, just let him hold it."
Today, because they were waiting for the outcome of Er Ye's case, Liang Lisheng arranged for Chen Rou to visit tourist attractions. Guo Fuzheng, who is still at large despite being involved in two kidnapping cases, is also in the capital recently due to some inexplicable good luck. He is quite familiar with President Wang Meng, so Chen Rou asked Secretary An to give him a call.
It should only take half an hour at most for Guo Fuzheng to arrive.
In Chen Rou's opinion, even if the law doesn't prosecute Guo Fuzheng, he won't be able to get away with it for long.
Because his father died, Guo Fuzheng took control of the family fortune of over a billion dollars in Hong Kong. Unlike the Nie family, an established company, his father did not know how to discipline his children and prevent them from spending money recklessly. Therefore, Guo Fuzheng was dressed in designer brands, wearing a bright Rolex gold watch on his wrist, and had three sets of items on his belt, including keys, mobile phones, and pagers, which looked like a running light.
It had been several years since he had last seen Chen Rou.
But he and Chen Rou were old friends, so there was no need to be too polite when they met.
He also brought gifts for Chen Rou and A Yuan, a large bouquet of flowers in his left hand and a box of pastries in his right: "Mrs. Nie, these are pastries I bought early this morning by queuing at Daoxiangcun. They are the most popular pastries among people in the capital. Please try them."
As if by magic, he pulled a small motorcycle made of twisted wire from his pocket, pushed it back and then forward, and the little motorcycle started moving on its own. He smiled and said, "I bet the young master will like this, so I'm giving it to him."
The Nie Jiajun brothers both like motorcycles, so Xiao Ayuan will definitely like them too.
Guo Fuzheng knows how to cater to people's preferences.
Chen Rou naturally had to ask how the police would handle her father's case, and Guo Fuzheng immediately cried out, "My father is innocent!"
He patted his chest and said, "Mrs. Nie, I swear to God, I was kidnapped by Cheung Tze-keung. How could my dad possibly conspire with Cheung Tze-keung? Impossible! That night, my dad and I were just passing by, doing nothing. But the mainland police insisted on listing my dad as a suspect. Luckily, an uncle helped us suppress the matter."
First, in order to avoid admitting that their investigation was flawed, the Hong Kong police presented evidence that Guo Fuzheng was the victim.
Furthermore, in the second kidnapping case, not only were all three veterans dead, but Chen Ke and his team only had the authority to handle cases, not the authority to investigate. Therefore, the evidence they had could only serve as supplementary evidence, and they mainly relied on the information provided by the Hong Kong police.
In this way, Guo Xiaobai and his son perfectly slipped up and dodged the bullet by exploiting a loophole in the law.
Since he mentioned that an uncle had helped him, Chen Rou guessed who it was, but she still deliberately asked, "Your uncle can speak on Zhang Ziqiang's case, so he must have a lot of influence. Who is he?"
Guo Fuzheng genuinely trusted Chen Rou and treated her like an older sister.
Furthermore, Wang Meng does indeed wield considerable influence in the capital, and his background is quite impressive.
Guo Fuzheng leaned closer to Chen Rou, deliberately acting mysterious: "My uncle's brother-in-law is a ministerial-level official."
Nowadays, ministerial-level officials are even more powerful than regional governors.
Regarding Wang Meng's background, those close to him certainly know who his brother-in-law is, but he himself generally wouldn't reveal it to strangers, and even if he did, it would definitely be a lie.
In short, it will be a mix of truth and falsehood.
This certainly has its advantages. For example, if he takes the money but doesn't do the job, or if he violates the rules too much during the process and is reported or complained about, it would be difficult to implicate his sister and brother-in-law during the investigation.
In this way, his sister and brother-in-law both enjoyed the benefits and were not affected.
Furthermore, many people associate Wang Meng with certain leaders who also have the surname Wang, simply because Wang Meng's surname is Wang.
But based on Chen Rou's future experience, people like Wang Meng would change their names before going into business.
The main goal is to circumvent all legal loopholes and still make money by leveraging resources.
Therefore, although Liang Lisheng also had information he had gathered, it was not necessarily accurate.
Yue Zhongqi is a good friend of his, but what he knows may not be true.
As for Guo Fuzheng, everything he knew was something Wang Meng intentionally wanted him to know.
As far as Chen Rou knew, Nie Zhao's client was in charge of reforms and also controlled the money. Of course, his father was a former high-ranking official, and the family had a relatively upright family style. If they wanted to deal with Wang Meng, they would have to get that old high-ranking official involved.
Now, she intends to use Guo Fuzheng to expose Wang Meng and his sister and brother-in-law to the old leader.
...
Pretending to be very interested, Chen Rouxian said, "You know how it is with Fuzheng. When we come here to do business, we also need a backer."
These days, to put it bluntly, you need connections and back channels to buy a TV.
It's only natural and reasonable for Hong Kong businessmen to seek help from powerful backers when they come to the mainland to do business.
Guo Fuzheng slapped his thigh lightly: "Better to ring a golden bell once than to break a gong three thousand times. Mrs. Nie, you've come to the right person for this matter."
He added, "When do you have time? I'll invite my uncle out so we can have a meal and talk."
