Chapter 184: Cutting Off the Fire at the Bottom of the Blade
Xu Yihuan's words reached Director Liu's ears like a spell.
Director Liu's face twitched violently.
He instinctively stood up, his eyes wide open, his expression one of utter horror: "What do you know?"
Xu Yihuan leaned back in her chair with an air of leisure, but her hand under the table silently clenched into a fist.
"Do you think Mrs. Liu would be very surprised if she knew she had another son?"
"After all, you can get a healthy baby without having to go through any pain."
At this critical juncture, what everyone is most concerned about is getting Director Liu to intercept the news first and find a way to prevent Jiang Ting from getting that land for nothing.
However, they overlooked a very important piece of information.
Although Director Liu's official position was not high, he had been working in that position for a long time.
They must know a lot about changes in land policy or other related matters.
He's been dragging this out, not trying to find a solution, and not offending anyone, all because he's waiting for Tan Wenye to resolve this matter for him.
Even if he ends up with a bad reputation, he can still conveniently push the matter away.
She refused to believe that he really had no solutions at all!
Upon hearing this, Director Liu's breathing became heavier, and he slumped back into his chair.
On the surface, he was a glamorous and successful bureau chief, and because he had a good boss, his promotions were almost meteoric.
But how many people know that even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes?
The tigress in his house is infertile.
Over the years, he only gave birth to one daughter for her, and he even damaged his health because of this daughter, so he was unwilling to have any more children after that.
He had no choice...
Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is having no offspring.
So he found a fertile woman who gave birth to a son, but his wife was very strict, so he had to raise his son in California.
He kept this very secret, maintaining the image of a good husband in public. No one knows how Xu Yihuan found out about it.
No matter how much Xu Yihuan knows, this matter cannot be leaked.
There are countless people outside eyeing his incredibly wealthy position. If they found out, how could he possibly remain content in his high position?
More importantly, this matter must never be known to the shrew in the house, otherwise the child he has been longing for will surely die.
As Director Liu thought about it, his face immediately turned ashen.
He said listlessly, "Well, there is a way to solve this..."
Xu Yihuan didn't say anything more, she just stared straight at him.
Director Liu sat in his chair with his head down, and said reluctantly, "I've only been in this position for thirty years."
"Back in the 1940s and 50s, land was privately owned by farmers."
“After I took office, I reorganized the land ownership certificates under my jurisdiction. We couldn’t find the corresponding property certificate for that piece of land in the western suburbs, and no one has come to claim it for twenty years…”
Director Liu didn't finish his sentence, but Xu Yihuan probably already understood.
Land that no one claimed was automatically allocated to them.
After all, who could resist leaving such a large piece of cake right under their nose without touching it?
This kind of thing is actually quite common. It's fine if nothing goes wrong in the end, but if something does go wrong, the first person to suffer is the person in that position.
Upon hearing these words, Xu Yihuan's lips immediately curled up. She knew that Director Liu must have a backup plan!
Xu Yihuan narrowed her eyes: "Do you know any other information?"
Director Liu shook his head dejectedly: "What could I possibly know? If I knew, I wouldn't have given up this land."
Xu Yihuan stared at Director Liu for a long while, making sure he couldn't possibly be lying again, before she looked away.
She flashed a bright smile: "In that case, I think I understand."
"Don't worry, Uncle Liu, nothing has happened yet. You can rest assured. I believe your child is very intelligent and nothing will happen to him."
Director Liu gave a wry smile: "I hope so."
After saying that, Xu Yihuan turned and left without waiting for his reaction.
It's already quite good that I was able to get so much information out of him.
After Xu Yihuan left, Director Liu watched her retreating figure, and waves of despair washed over him. For the past thirty years, he had been walking cautiously, but he never expected that this one wrong decision would give him so much leverage over others.
Perhaps this is fate.
...
For the rest of the week, Xu Yihuan was busy with this matter.
She told Tan Wenye and the others about it.
She certainly wouldn't be able to trace back to the person who disappeared twenty years ago on her own.
Tan Wenye was not surprised when he heard the news; it was obviously nothing new to him.
With this direction in mind, they began searching with even greater effort.
We're just waiting to deliver a fatal blow to them.
Xu Yihuan returned to school after the holiday ended.
The last class in the afternoon was a long one, and Xu Yihuan prepared to go back after class.
Just as she stood up, Tan Zhixu tugged at Xu Yihuan's sleeve resentfully, looking at her with pitiful eyes.
"I know you're busy, but things are almost done. Can't you have a meal with me?"
Xu Yihuan patted Tan Zhixu's fluffy head and then realized that it seemed like they hadn't eaten together for a long time.
Xu Yihuan sighed: "You forgot? There's a department dinner today, I have to go."
"You went? Then I want to go too."
Just as Tan Zhixu finished speaking, his phone received a message. Tan Zhixu picked up his phone and glanced at the message.
It was a message from a teacher, asking if I could help him with a few students in the evening to give a presentation and discuss methods.
Because Tan Zhixu had previously achieved excellent results in a math competition.
Now their mentors are planning to have Tan Zhixu teach others, to see if he can learn more in terms of skills or other aspects.
Training sessions are usually held during evening self-study time.
When Tan Zhixu saw this content, his expression immediately froze.
I almost wanted to cry but had no tears.
Xu Yihuan had obviously seen the contents as well.
He chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll just make an appearance. I'll be back after I finish eating."
Tan Zhixu was still unwilling, but there was no other way.
"Make sure to send me a message when you're all better, and I'll come pick you up."
Xu Yihuan nodded and did not refuse: "Okay, I understand."
I don't know if departmental team building activities involve several departments together.
In short, Xu Yihuan also saw several classmates she didn't recognize that day.
Xu Yihuan got out of the car. She didn't really like coming to such occasions, but the minister insisted that she participate as well.
Xu Yihuan couldn't refuse, so she could only agree.
Almost as soon as you enter the hotel, you can see familiar classmates from your club.
The classmate was also very happy to see Xu Yihuan. He looked her over twice and then said mysteriously.
"Huanhuan, you're here too."
"Hey, did you know? I heard that today's gathering is Wen Zhou's group."
