Chapter 21 I plan to go to Dongming Island to join the army!
Shan Jianshe, Hu Lier, and Hu Zhiwei were taken away by law enforcement for allegedly transferring assets.
Back at the doorstep, Aunt Wu looked at the empty house and took Cen Yan's hand to comfort her.
"Yan'er, don't worry at all. The Cen family's things will be found. Even if they aren't, it's alright as long as everyone is safe." Aunt Wu was genuinely afraid that Captain Li would arrest Cen Yan on the spot and send her to be criticized and demoted.
"Thank you, auntie and comrades. I really can't believe my father would do such a thing. I hope he can understand that money is just an external thing and confess to Captain Li as soon as possible."
Cen Yan wiped away her tears and looked at the three leaders.
"Rest assured, leaders, once the stolen property from the Cen family is recovered, I am willing to donate it all, leaving not a single penny for myself!"
“I have nothing left now. Let’s hand over this Western-style house left by my grandparents to the neighborhood committee to manage. Any profits will be donated to the country for scientific research, water conservancy and railway construction. What do you think?”
Cen Yan had thought it through. Even if storing the house in her spatial dimension was feasible, she couldn't do it that way.
The disappearance of the Cen family's property was a hot topic, causing a great uproar. If the Cen family's house was gone at the same time that Shan Jianshe and Hu Lier were imprisoned, Captain Li would know within half an hour that the theft had nothing to do with Shan Jianshe.
After much deliberation, Cen Yan still felt that leaving the house to the organization for management was the best course of action.
In this way, after a few years when the whole country is exonerated, she can still apply to the authorities to return the property based on the land deeds and house deeds in the space. There is no need to take risks for a moment of pleasure.
The three leaders felt uneasy listening to Cen Yan's cautious words.
They rushed here for profit, but Cen Yan's plight truly evoked their sympathy.
“Yan’er, although Captain Li didn’t take you away immediately today because of us, the truth will eventually come out. We three old guys can protect you for a while, but not forever. The news of the Cen family being purged has already leaked out. What are your plans now? You’re a girl, and without the Cen family’s protection, if you’re really sent down to the countryside, I’m afraid…”
Cen Yan sniffed. "Thank you for your concern, leader. I still have some things to take care of in Shanghai. Once I've settled things here, I plan to go to Dongming Island to join the army."
"Dongming Island? If I remember correctly, that place is extremely remote. It takes half a month to get there by train from Shanghai to the port, and then another three days by ferry. Are you going there to join the military? Are there soldiers stationed on Dongming Island in your family?"
Cen Yan smiled slightly and explained, "He's not my family yet, but he will be soon. When my grandparents were alive, they arranged a marriage for me when I was a child. The man is a soldier who is currently stationed on Dongming Island."
She didn't know if the man named Qi Jingchuan on the marriage certificate was willing to marry her according to the agreement of the older generation.
But no matter what, she couldn't stay in the Shanghai stock market any longer.
If Qi Jingchuan is unwilling to marry her, she can still survive on Dongming Island using the assets in her spatial dimension.
Besides, mountains may crumble and rivers may dry up; she never intended to rely on Qi Jingchuan for a living.
Having gone through so much in her past and present lives, she finally understood that only by becoming strong herself could she truly achieve her goal!
The three leaders sighed, noting that those stationed on Dongming Island were mostly special forces soldiers, and Cen Yan could indeed receive protection there.
But can a delicate young girl like her endure the hardships of life on the island?
Cen Yan was well aware of the three leaders' concern, but life is something you have to live.
Having endured countless hardships in my past life, how could living in a different place in this life be more miserable than being imprisoned in a cellar like a pig or a dog?
