Chen Zhen: "This is a friend of mine who came back from Tai O yesterday and brought it to me."
She looked carefully at the incision site.
"The incision is smooth. It was cut by a machine. It won't last more than two months!" The more she talked about it, the more distressed she felt.
Chen Zhen could only tell that it was machine-cut, and the timing of breaking and cutting was not as precise as Fang Zongtang's.
"If you say so, then so be it."
She immediately asked, "How did your friend get it and how much did it cost?"
Chen Zhen hurriedly explained: "According to him, he bought it from an antique shop in Portugal. He spent a hundred dollars."
She thought about it for a moment, and immediately said to Chen Zhen: "Hurry up and go to Tai O. The other half is likely in the hands of the owner!"
Chen Zhen also thought of it.
"I asked my friend to go there first. I came here today to tell you that I'm going to Tai O tomorrow."
When she heard this, she was a little moved.
"How do I get there? Are there any formalities to go through?"
Chen Zhen smiled and said, "No, things are different now than they were ten years ago. We can go there by boat without going through any formalities."
When she heard that there was no need to go through any formalities, she was tempted again.
"Whenever you leave, I'll go with you!"
Chen Zhen looked a little embarrassed: "Is it okay? Will Brother Song not let you go?"
She acted like she had heard a very funny joke.
"Where I go, who cares? When you buy your boat ticket, buy one for me, too."
Zhang Xingzu came back from outside and just heard it.
"Brother Zongtang, wherever you are going, take me with you. You must take me with you!"
She told him about her trip to Tai O.
Zhang Xingzu was so anxious that he was about to catch fire, but he didn't dare show it.
He could only hurriedly say to Chen Zhen: "I'm going too, you also buy me a boat ticket."
She thought of snail buns.
"Who will take care of your wife if you go?"
Zhang Xingzu hurriedly said, "My sister-in-law and mother-in-law are at home helping to take care of the children, so I am not needed. I used to go to Tai O frequently and I know many people there. I will go there so that I can lead the way!"
She thought about it and agreed.
"Okay, go back and prepare early today."
The two stayed at Song's house until five o'clock, and were then sent back by her.
Tai O does not use Hong Kong dollars, so she put some cash in her bag so that she could exchange it directly at the bank there.
At around seven o'clock, the bodyguard knocked on the door hurriedly.
"Madam, the young master was beaten by that family."
She put down the little golden hammer and looked up at the bodyguard.
"Speak more carefully!"
The bodyguard said quickly, "I heard from the people who were watching over there that Hongli's family bought barbecued pork and squab today, and the young master was given a small piece. He was very angry and there was a loud noise inside. When the young master ran out, he covered his face with his hands, and his face was bleeding."
She stood up and stretched her muscles.
"If you know how to run, your brain must be fine!"
Bodyguard: “…” Why doesn’t he understand what you are saying?
She went on to say: "If he can run, cover his face, arms and legs, there must be no problem."
The bodyguard asked dryly, "Aren't you going to pick up the young master?"
Shouldn't I answer the call immediately while he was talking?
She sneered, "Find two people, dress up as little hooligans, and beat him up!"
The bodyguard began to doubt his ears.
Did he hear it right?
She looked at the bodyguard calmly: "You heard me right, I just want you to find someone to beat him up! Don't beat him up for no reason, pretend to be greedy for money, rob him of his valuables, then curse him a few more times, and then beat him up. Remember to throw him closer to Hongli's house after you beat him up!"
Bodyguard: What a bad idea!
Is this young master your biological son?
