"By the way, you know that Grandpa can't leave here. Since you also need to take the college entrance exam, why don't you just leave Jingxing and Jinyu with me?"
Grandpa is getting old, and Jingxing will have to take over the Bai family sooner or later. I need to bring him out while I still have the energy.
The educational resources in Shanghai are no worse than those in Beijing; I will transfer them to the best schools!
Upon hearing this, Bai Yajing hesitated for a moment.
"Grandpa, let's ask the children first. If they want to stay, I have no objection."
Just then, two little ones rushed in from outside the door, one of them tugging at her sleeve.
"Mom, I want to stay! Great-Grandpa is too lonely here all by himself!"
"Mom, I want to stay and keep Great-Grandpa and my brother company too!"
Grandpa Bai's eyes immediately reddened, and he hugged the two children, repeatedly calling them his darlings.
The two little ones had such serious, round faces that Bai Yajing's heart softened instantly.
She was indeed worried about leaving her grandfather alone, and the two little ones, though only eight years old, were quite shrewd and precocious.
"Alright then, Mom will go and find someone to come back and take care of the family these next few days."
The old man is too busy; he doesn't have that much time to waste on household chores.
At that moment, some people came to mind.
"Grandpa, are the servants who used to work for our family still around?"
Grandpa Bai smiled and waved his hand, "I knew you'd worry about this. I already went to find someone to help you."
Some of the old folks are gone, but some are still here! I picked a middle-aged couple who had lost their child, my former driver Lao Shen. They were pitiful; their child had died in an accident.
Old Shen continued to stay with me, while his wife stayed home to take care of him.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yajing gave the old man a thumbs up, saying, "Grandpa, you're so thoughtful."
She only just remembered this now; the old man had already prepared for it.
...
Xiao Che discreetly brought his entourage to Shanghai, ostensibly to visit relatives and pick up his wife and children to take them home.
The others also had their own reasons; some were transferred to the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics.
They still went their separate ways.
Upon arriving in Shanghai, he went directly to Baiyuan.
"Didn't you say you were going to investigate secretly?"
Xiao Che held a baby in each arm, overjoyed. "I've already arranged people in secret, and we also need someone in the open to attract their attention, so that the people in the shadows can investigate more smoothly."
Bai Yajing understood and handed him the ledger.
“Your men can go to the Dark Pavilion and find that burly man with a fierce face; he knows quite a lot.”
With the Ministry of State Security's methods, there are plenty of ways to get people to confess.
Xiao Che pinched her nose. "I've already arranged for someone to take care of it. You should worry less. Didn't you say you have an exam? You should focus on your studies."
Bai Yajing chuckled and gently patted his hand. "The child is here!"
The two little ones quickly raised their hands to cover their eyes, and if it weren't for the gaps between their hands, it would really look like the real thing.
"Daddy, you're so embarrassing..."
"Daddy, you're shameful!"
Xiao Che reluctantly put the two little ones down and flicked each of them lightly on the head. "I brought you gifts, go play now!"
"Oh! Yay! Let's go play!"
The couple watched with smiles as their two children walked away happily.
"But... you don't object to me taking the college entrance exam at my age?"
