Chapter 404: Brother Xizi, You Are Not a Bad Person
The police car slowly drove away under the gaze of the crowd of onlookers until it disappeared, and the onlookers gradually dispersed.
"sister in law."
Shen Ci walked up to Wang Zhaoning and called out, his eyes falling on her slightly bulging belly, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.
Wang Zhaoning looks weak, but she is very strong at heart. When she witnessed her husband being taken away by the police, she did not cry or make a fuss, and there was only reluctance and attachment in her eyes as she watched him leave.
She looked at Shen Ci and Boss Yang, and forced a wry smile: "You are here."
The rain was still falling, and Wang Zhaoning let Chen Ci and the others into the villa.
This was Shen Ci's first time visiting her brother's house. The home's decoration was obviously Wang Zhaoning's favorite. The warm and soft colors and decorations were very close to her own temperament.
"Mrs. Lin, please take Xuxu back to the room first." Wang Zhaoning called the nanny. The seven-year-old boy was already sensible and was still sobbing at this time, obviously knowing what had happened.
After sitting down, she first looked at Boss Yang and thanked him: "Brother Yang, thank you for coming today."
When people are in trouble, especially such a great disaster, how many people can avoid it. The fact that Boss Yang is here today is enough to show the deep friendship between him and Yan Wenxi over the years of "love and hate".
"What you said, sister-in-law, is true. Xizi and I have known each other for so many years, and I know very well what kind of person he is." Boss Yang said, but his face was inevitably heavy. "It's also hard for you. You are pregnant with a child, you must take good care of yourself."
Wang Zhaoning nodded lightly, a trace of fatigue between her brows, and turned to look at Chen Ci: "Ah Ci, your brother asked me to pass on a message to you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ci quickly asked, “What did he say?”
"He said..." Wang Zhaoning paused, then continued, "He said that he felt sorry for you about the matter between you and your boyfriend."
Just with this sentence, Shen Ci's eyes suddenly turned red.
She shook her head, trying to hold back her tears: "No, no."
During the phone call in the car that day, she had a clean slate with her brother. Now that things had come to this, and Tang Song knew about her relationship with her brother, she thought she should also tell her brother about her relationship with Tang Song.
Including breaking up.
"Don't worry too much. Xizi sensed something was wrong and started cleaning up the mess. He wasn't involved in any murders, but the police obviously don't believe it and have been looking for evidence that could have led to his death, but there's nothing."
"The subsequent sentencing shouldn't be too severe, but Xizi said he did do quite a lot over the years, and Brother Yang should know that it's impossible to completely erase all traces."
Boss Yang nodded upon hearing this.
"So Xizi said he would accept it no matter if it was three, five, ten or eight years."
Shen Ci knew very little about the inside story of the whole incident, mainly because her brother refused to tell her.
At this time, the person had been taken away, so she was able to get some information from her sister-in-law. Hearing that her brother was not involved in the murder case, Shen Ci breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister-in-law, what are you going to do next?" Shen Ci asked.
Wang Zhaoning glanced at the huge living room of the villa and sighed reluctantly: "This is the wedding room of your brother and I. Although I can keep it, I don't want to live here for the time being. There are traces of him everywhere here. I really can't help it..."
"There are several other properties in the city. I'll move somewhere else when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ci blurted out, "Sister-in-law, I have an empty residence, also in Wanjia Denghuo. You can move there, so that I can take care of you. You are pregnant now, and I am really worried about you."
Shen Ci was sincere. She promised her brother that she would take care of her sister-in-law and the children, so she would definitely do what she said.
When she first saw the "Wanjia Denghuo" property, she bought two units at once. One of them has never been lived in and is still empty.
Boss Yang also said, "As a man, I can't take on the responsibility of taking care of you and the child. Ah Ci is right. Xizi originally entrusted you to her. Don't let her worry."
Wang Zhaoning looked at Shen Ci and felt her sincerity, so she nodded gratefully: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Shen Ci smiled comfortably upon seeing this.
"Brother Yang, I have something to ask of you."
"You tell me, I will definitely help."
"Xu Xu has to transfer schools. His current classmates' parents all know about me and his father. After this incident, I'm afraid there will be rumors at school that will hurt him."
"Okay, no problem. I'll take care of the transfer."
They chatted for a while longer until they felt that Wang Zhaoning was a little tired, then they got up and left.
Coming out of the villa, the rain had stopped and the sky had cleared. Uncle Yang looked up at the sky. The dark clouds had retreated, and the sun was shining through the layers of gray. It should have been a scene of clearing clouds and seeing the sun, full of hope, but at this moment it made people feel an indescribable sense of obscurity.
He suddenly sighed and said, "Your brother Xizi is not a bad person."
Shen Ci glanced sideways at Uncle Yang.
As the two walked out, Boss Yang recalled and said, "I knew him a long time ago. At that time, he was working under someone else, responsible for collecting debts."
"As far as I know, he hasn't done anything to actively persecute others over the years. Anyone who can make him take action is not someone who deserves pity."
"And if these people under him, including Duan Duan and Shi Kai you know, hadn't met Xizi, I don't know if they would still be alive now."
He pointed to his left eye and said, "Xizi lost this eye for his subordinates. That's why everyone who follows Xizi is very loyal to him."
Boss Yang spoke casually but did not give any details.
Chen Ci didn't care, nor did she ask any further questions. She was not curious about her brother's past.
The next second, Boss Yang suddenly changed the subject and invited Shen Ci to get in the car with a smile: "Ci, let's go, Uncle Yang will take you to the construction site."
The so-called construction site is the unfinished building that was jointly taken over by Shen Ci and Boss Yang Group.
A few months later, the construction team has moved in.
Shen Ci put on a safety helmet and followed Boss Yang inside. He heard Boss Yang talking nonstop: "This unfinished project has been around for years. Before we start work, we have to do a quality inspection on the previously built parts. If we find any shoddy work, we have to tear it down and start over."
"What if we find that none of them are up to standard? Start over again?" Chen Ci asked.
Boss Yang smiled and nodded. "Of course. Since I've accepted this, I have to take responsibility. Besides, didn't you reserve a hundred units yourself? For you, this project must be done to perfection."
Chen Ci looked around. The weeds that had grown inside and outside the unfinished project had long been cleared away. This community was quite large and it was an unfinished project. Only Uncle Yang had the courage to take on this hot potato, and it was also thanks to Chen Ci's willingness to "play" with him.
But only Chen Ci knew that this place, like the industrial park, was in Yangming District. Once the development approval was obtained, the value of the entire community would rise accordingly.
