There was only one cigarette left in the pack, and Yue Zhongqi wanted to enjoy it, but Chen Ke cut it off.
He even argued, "Xiao Qiao is trying to conceive, how dare you smoke?"
Yue Zhongqi didn't even have time to grab it, and he was about to get angry, but then he realized something was wrong: "Wait, what did you just say?"
Chen Ke accidentally let something slip, but quickly added, "It's nothing, just keep your voice down."
This is a village, and people could come out at any time and see them, so they really had to keep their voices down.
But Yue Zhongqi still felt something was wrong: "You, you just said I was someone's master, say it again."
Chen Ke glanced at his watch and said, "Our train leaves tonight, so let's hurry."
If they have enough time, they can take their time.
But after the leader spoke with Erye last night, they released them both today.
They've already bought their train tickets and reported it to the authorities; they have to leave tonight.
Yue Zhongqi disagreed. He clearly heard Chen Ke say that he was Arou's master.
As far as he knew, he only knew one person, Arou.
Unable to reach a stalemate, Chen Ke had no choice but to concede: "Tell me your solution first, and I'll explain everything to you on the train back."
Yue Zhongqi was certain that he wasn't lying, but fearing that they might run into acquaintances on the main road and be exposed, he pulled Chen Ke back through the grove and analyzed the situation point by point: "Based on my observations along the way, there are no scenic spots on the summit of this mountain."
He added, "Originally, the village only went up to the foot of the mountain, and this one family lived alone halfway up the mountain."
Chen Ke nodded: "I noticed that too."
But the question remains: "So what?"
Yue Zhongqi added, "Also, I just saw the cement sign for the tap water project up the mountain. And in that hawthorn orchard, there's a complete tap water irrigation system. Do you think an ordinary person could manage these things?"
Chen Ke said, "The tap water project is for remote mountainous areas to solve the problem of drinking water for people and livestock. Why would he use it to irrigate gardens?"
He was indignant: "It's outrageous that their trees are competing with the people for water."
Yue Zhongqi said, "The national highway-quality cement road was built by the government, the tap water project up the mountain was done by the government, and this is the capital city. The owner of that courtyard is not just a city or provincial level person, but someone even more powerful."
The allure of power lies in the fact that even in a desolate, remote place where not even dogs would venture, one can receive assistance from public funds and poverty alleviation funds.
Stopping in a relatively open area, Yue Zhongqi pointed and asked, "See that fork in the road?"
Chen Ke saw it and said, "If you go into the yard through that side road, you won't pass through the village, and even the dogs won't be disturbed."
Yue Zhongqi said, "If it weren't to avoid attracting attention, why would they have built such a road?"
Chen Ke sighed, "If only they could put that energy into their work!"
Yue Zhongqi knew better than anyone that the world wasn't clearly black and white, but rather gray.
Chen Ke could see all good, but what he could see was all evil.
Of course, because he saw through things, he was good at protecting himself.
He said, "This matter could turn into a mess if handled poorly, but if handled well, it could be a great achievement. However, if you do a good job, it's best not to stay in mainland China afterward. So, only that comrade from the Korean War can do this."
Chen Ke nodded: "Let him report it."
Yue Zhongqi clicked his tongue: "You can't push things to the brink. Besides, your old commander didn't want this either. Leave some room for maneuver so you can meet again in the future. As long as Wang Meng is dead, that's enough. Boss, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Don't take it too seriously."
The reforms have just begun, and there is a lot of resistance from the leadership. If we were to publicly report it, it would implicate a wide range of people.
So Yue Zhongqi said, "Let him report it publicly, not publicly. Let him report it anonymously. Just send the letter to our boss's office. But the boss's first thought will definitely be to suppress it. So after the letter arrives, make a false police report, saying that someone broke into a house at No. 352 Xishan and there's a hostage in the downstairs room. That house has a number on it, so the police will definitely respond quickly, so..."
Chen Ke nodded: "The police will break in, and the boss will have to investigate, but things won't escalate to the point of no return."
Yue Zhongqi nodded, then couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I hope I won't raise such a wretched child in the future."
The old leader was such a good person, but who knew his eldest son was such a wild child behind the scenes.
If he hadn't been so indulgent towards his brother-in-law, had been less corrupt, and hadn't been so arrogant, he could have lived a life of wealth and honor.
It's time to tell Yue Zhongqi the truth. Chen Ke said with a smile, "Your child won't be bad, because Chen Rou, that outstanding child, is someone you taught. Have you thought about it? You are her teacher!"
Chen Rouyue and Zhong Qi knew each other. He admired and worshipped her, and also felt a certain indescribable affection for her.
It wasn't love, of course; rather, he felt that he should have a child like her.
He had felt something was off when Chen Ke mentioned Arou, but after Chen Ke's detailed explanation, Yue Zhongqi was even more confused.
His CPU was about to burn out, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.
There are no taxis here, and the two of them still have a long way to go. Yue Zhongqi pulled Chen Ke: "No, slow down and say it again. What do you mean I am Chen Rou's master? Am I daydreaming and teaching her in my dream?"
Well then, it's a long story, Chen Ke will tell you as we walk.
But as the two were talking, Yue Zhongqi's phone rang. He took it out and saw it was a landline from the capital. Thinking it was one of his comrades inviting him to dinner, he answered and said, "Buddy, forget about dinner, we're leaving tonight..."
However, he suddenly stopped, stood still, and said in a deep voice, "Yes."
This startled Chen Ke. Why was Captain Yue so serious? What had happened?
