Chapter 178: Raising a Child
"Dad, go take a rest!" Ling Xiao followed Ling Hao and Ling Yun stayed behind.
"I'm not sleepy, go to sleep for a while!" Ling Guoqiang paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. He thought a lot in the first half of the night, including what happened to the Ling family. In an instant, he seemed to have aged a little.
"Dad, our family will be fine." Ling Yun comforted Ling Guoqiang, but to be honest, he was also unsure.
Time passes by minute by minute, why does tonight seem so long?
...Half a month later, the police visited the Ling family. It was like a long-lurking storm that tore apart the family's apparent tranquility and glory.
The flashing police lights were particularly dazzling in the night, filling the surrounding air with a sense of tension and uneasiness.
The door was pushed open, and a group of uniformed police rushed in quickly and orderly. Their footsteps echoed in the empty living room, and every step stepped on the trembling heartstrings of the Ling family. Family members were standing or sitting, with different expressions, some were panic-stricken, some looked ashen, and their eyes flashed with fear of an unknown fate.
In the middle of the living room, several stern-looking detectives sat around a long table, with thick folders spread out in front of them, which recorded the evidence of the Ling family's suspected smuggling, the dirty business of drinking and sleeping with girls under the pretext of helping poor girls go to school, opening up business channels, and the trafficking of people and organs. These cold words, like sharp blades, cut through the dignity of the Ling family.
"Ling Guoqiang, we have sufficient reason to believe that you and your family members are involved in multiple illegal activities." Tang Jue spoke firmly, looking directly at Ling Guoqiang. His voice was not loud, but it was enough to freeze the atmosphere in the room.
"We hope you will cooperate with our investigation."
"I have nothing to say!" Ling Guoqiang's face was pale, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. The female family members around him also began to sob quietly, or comfort each other, and the air was filled with despair and helplessness.
The crimes of the Ling family, which were once thought to be buried forever, are now like rotten meat exposed to the sun, emitting a disgusting smell. The list of smuggled goods, the records of illegal transactions, and the list of innocent victims are presented to the public one by one, and each record records the greed and evil of human nature.
Outside the hospital, more and more media reporters and curious people gathered, and flash lights kept lighting up, pushing this family, which once had some reputation, to the forefront of public opinion.
The name of the Ling family has since become synonymous with sin. Behind all this are the souls lost due to greed, and the innocent people who were involved in this dark deal out of ignorance or forced.
When the news was reported on TV, everyone realized one thing: the sword of justice and law will eventually pierce through all darkness and evil.
"A Miao, Uncle Wang, my brother has avenged you two, are you happy?" Wen Qingzhou said with a smile while biting a chicken leg.
"I'm happy!" Uncle Wang raised his lips.
"Where is A Miao?" Wen Qingzhou asked.
"Well, I'm happy. I can live freely in the future!" Wen Miao said with a bright smile.
"Ah Miao, eat fish!" Wen Shuzhou fed a piece of fish meat with the bones removed to the child's mouth.
"Shuzhou, actually I can do it myself." In front of Uncle Wang and Wen Qingzhou, Wen Miao had been fed several times and felt a little embarrassed.
"Your arm isn't healed yet. Come, drink the soup. Your parents specially prepared it and sent it to you!" Wen Shuzhou scooped another spoonful of soup for the child.
"A Miao, it's okay. There aren't many people who can make my brother behave like this. Besides, Uncle Wang and I didn't see anything, right? Uncle Wang?" Wen Qingzhou lied with his eyes open.
"Yes, alas, I didn't see anything." Uncle Wang agreed with a smile.
"You two really are..." Wen Miao didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Ran Yu had given the notice, otherwise he would have embarrassed these three people to death.
"Brother, I heard that the young lady from the Su family is going to study abroad?" Wen Qingzhou suddenly said.
"Um."
"Do you want to go and see him off?" Wen Miao asked with a flickering look in his eyes.
It's a matter of social etiquette. Su Liluo came to visit him a few days ago, and now she is going abroad, so it's understandable that she should reciprocate the courtesy.
"That's fine." Wen Shuzhou understood what the kid was thinking, so he agreed.
...At the airport, Su Liluo was wearing a simple yet elegant white windbreaker, with her long hair gently tied up, revealing her delicate profile, and her eyes gleaming with a mixture of reluctance and longing. Next to her suitcase, there were a few of her favorite books and a teddy bear that had accompanied her for many years, as if she was carrying the memories of the past and embarking on an unknown journey together.
"When you get there, remember to take good care of yourself and call home often." Mrs. Su's eyes were slightly red, but she tried hard to keep smiling as she reminded him over and over again.
"good."
Suzhou Cheng stood aside, and although he didn't say much, his clenched hands conveyed his reluctance at the moment.
Friends came forward one after another, some handed over carefully prepared small gifts, and some just hugged tightly.
"Have a nice trip, Miss Su!"
"Ms. Su, have a safe trip."
Wen Shuzhou and Wen Miao also sent their wishes.
"Okay, got it." Su Liluo smiled with relief, took a deep breath, turned around and looked at the boarding gate that was about to lead to a distant place. In her heart, she had infinite expectations for the future and a deep attachment to this land. Then, she resolutely stepped onto the corridor leading to the plane.
In the airport hall, people were still coming and going, but Su Liluo had quietly opened a new chapter of her life.
Three years later, Su Liluo returned to her country and brought back her lover, but that’s another story.
…
Five months later, "Tian Sheng Qing" shot by Wen's company became a big hit. Wen Qingzhou pestered his brother to tailor a crime-solving drama with two male protagonists for him and Ran Yu. Wen Qingzhou had no choice but to agree.
Fortunately, their acting skills are good, and the audience and fans are also buying into it, which has earned them a lot of CP fans and also helped their careers to reach a new level.
"Teacher Wen, Teacher Yu, how do you each understand the characters in the play? Can you tell us about it?" the host asked with a smile.
"I think about the role..."
All of a sudden, Wen Qingzhou and Ran Yu had great resources. Interviews, variety shows, TV series, movies... all came to them. They signed autographs until their hands were sore!
“I’m so tired!”
Being unpopular has its advantages, but being popular has its disadvantages.
After a long time, when the first rays of sunlight in the morning just penetrated the hotel, Wen Qingzhou quickly adjusted his state. In the bathroom, he quickly took care of himself while listening to the schedule for the day through the Bluetooth speaker next to the mirror: a magazine cover photo shoot in the morning, a new drama press conference in the afternoon, and an online interactive live broadcast with fans in the evening. Each activity requires his full commitment and no carelessness is allowed.
On the breakfast table, the nutritionist carefully prepared a delicious meal, but Wen Qingzhou only ate a few bites and then threw himself into the intense preparations. Stylists and makeup artists surrounded him, carefully adjusting every detail, from hair style to makeup, striving to show the best state in front of the camera. He cooperated patiently, occasionally practicing a few expressions that would be used at the press conference through the mirror, striving to be natural and friendly...
Just look at this, when filming a costume drama, Wen Qingzhou was pulled up to put on makeup after just five hours of sleep, and Xiaoye was tired and thin. Of course, Ran Yu's situation was not much better. The plane and the hotel almost became their temporary home.
However, their bond is stronger than gold, and even when their schedules are full, they always find time to enjoy their time together. Their lives are busy and fulfilling, and every moment is filled with challenges and opportunities, but they always embrace the bright starlight that belongs to them with the utmost enthusiasm.
Shui Ran and Wen Ting Zhu were heartbroken when they found out, but they couldn't stop it. You said, it's not right for a young man not to do something. They couldn't hold their sons back.
During the holidays, only Wen Shuzhou and Wen Miao would return to the old house to accompany Shui Ran and Wen Tingzhu.
Uncle Wang has become addicted to traveling since he signed up for a tour group during the New Year. He goes out every once in a while. Now Yan Feng is the special assistant and driver. He does all the work. His salary has naturally increased a lot. Now, he has paid off the mortgage on his house and I heard he has a girlfriend!
Not long after, Wen's Group suffered a hacker attack. Wen Miao came out of retirement to resolve all the attacks. He became the group's network director under the name "Leng Yue". Sometimes he would go to get off work and go home with Wen Shuzhou, and when he had nothing to do, he would do other things that interested him.
Because of Wen Miao's outstanding ability, Tang Jue applied to his superiors, and Wen Miao was given a position as a network consultant in the police station to help when needed.
Every time he went there, there were young police officers asking him questions, and some even shamelessly asked him to be their teacher. Wen Miao saw that he was a teachable boy, so he took him in as his two apprentices.
Life was comfortable and enjoyable. When he had free time, Wen Miao would drive with Wen Shuzhou to the welfare home to visit the old director and the children, tell the children some inspirational stories, have lunch, and then come back.
They would also go to the secret base discovered by Wen Shuzhou and bring a grill to their world of two. They would enjoy the scenery while grilling and eating, which was refreshing.
As time went by, Shui Ran and Wen Tingzhu's biggest wish was to have grandchildren, but unfortunately their four sons could not fulfill their wish, and they felt guilty about it. Later, Shui Ran simply raised two cats as grandchildren, and the matter was over.
Five years later, Wen Tingzhu brought back four children, one child for each of his four sons, and a pair of children each for his wife.
"Dad, this child is..."
Wen Shuzhou and others were stunned!
"Don't worry, it's legal and the baby is yours. A foreign research institute has created an artificial uterus and I have signed up." Wen Tingzhu said with a smile.
“Here, this is the result.”
"Dad, how did you get our our..." Wen Shuzhou glanced at the center of his pants, somewhat confused.
In fact, it wasn't just him, Wen Miao and the others couldn't figure it out either.
"Don't worry about this. I have my own way." Wen Tingzhu said meaningfully.
"From now on, your mother and I will take care of the children, and you will be responsible for the investigation. Everyone will be happy!"
…
"dad!"
“Daddy!”
Looking at the son and daughter who called him dad, Wen Miao recalled the scene when he first met Wen Shuzhou. He was just eating melons but he accidentally met him. Now, as they walked along the way, it seemed like a fateful meeting.
