Chapter 189 Monkey Undercover
The family can't get together for dinner.
In order to keep her aunt healthy, Ye Rou prescribed several dietary therapy recipes for her and cooked her meals separately.
When my grandfather, Grandpa Wang, and Grandpa Zhou come home from get off work, they will eat some food unless they are very hungry. Otherwise, they will just eat some cakes or drink some nourishing soup in the evening.
Grandma Song and her master believed in taking care of their health. They believed that they should not eat too much at night, and they also ate earlier than other people.
Ye Rou, Jiang Chen and Jiang Weiguo, who looked pale, entered the dining room.
The dining room is decorated in an antique style. The dining table in the middle is a long table made of huanghuali wood. It is extremely large and can accommodate twenty people for dinner at the same time.
Next to the dining table is an armchair in the same color, with a built-in backrest.
Among these chairs, only the chair Ye Rou often sat on had a pink and white cushion and a blue satin pillow stuffed in square shapes like small buns.
The sunset glowed on the slender white porcelain vase that my aunt had placed. Peonies, Yunnan teas, orchids, and peach blossoms were stacked high and low in an orderly manner.
Jiang Weiguo refused to eat, leaning lazily in his chair, talking about the results of today's interrogation.
Jiang Chen and Ye Rou were sitting very close to each other. Jiang Chen's long arm was resting on the back of Ye Rou's chair. He was chatting with Jiang Weiguo in a lazy tone.
The mute woman brought up the dinner.
Ye Rou's dinner was a bowl of wontons with three fresh fillings, two soup dumplings on a small steamer, and a small dish of pickles.
She couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a soup dumpling, blew on it to make it hot, and was eager to put it in her mouth.
She is so hungry.
She bit through the bun skin and the hot gravy flowed out. Her face was wrinkled and she opened her mouth to breathe out, which made a hissing sound.
"Spit it out." Jiang Chen placed his big hand on her chin and moved it as if to signal her.
Ye Rou closed her mouth, shook her head at Jiang Chen, slapped his hand away, chewed it a few times hurriedly, swallowed the bun in her mouth with a gurgle, and couldn't wait to take a second bite.
As her chopsticks touched the half-eaten bun, another pair of chopsticks pressed down her chopsticks.
Seeing that she was still eating despite being burned, Jiang Chen picked up his chopsticks and pressed down on her bun.
But his wife didn't appreciate it. She looked at him warily with her fox eyes, "I've eaten, you can't take it away."
Jiang Chen: “…”
After Ye Rou finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong. She smiled in a flattering manner and poked the bun with her chopsticks.
As soon as she touched it, the bun was taken away by another pair of chopsticks. A man looked at her provocatively, opened his bloody mouth and stuffed the whole bun into his mouth!
He did it on purpose!
Ye Rou clenched her chopsticks tightly, lowered her head to eat wontons, and refused to look at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen chuckled, "Don't be angry."
A big hand pushed his soup dumplings in front of Ye Rou.
Ye Rou's eyes lit up, and without being polite to him, she picked up the slightly warm bun and stuffed it into her mouth.
Jiang Weiguo watched the two of them getting along, and some envy unconsciously appeared in his eyes.
He is 32 years old this year. His wife passed away three years ago and his mother is in poor health. As a grown man, he has to take care of his son and go to work at the same time, which is very stressful.
When Wang Qiaohe came to his house to ask for help, saying that she didn't want to marry a lame old man, he didn't want to care at first. But after Wang Qiaohe stayed at his home for a day, cleaning the house, cooking, and taking care of Shi Tou, he was moved and kept Wang Qiaohe.
He had originally planned to marry Wang Qiaohe, but she collaborated with human traffickers to sell Shi Tou, and her private abuse and threats to Shi Tou touched his bottom line.
He sent Wang Qiaohe back to her home, and he had no right to interfere with who she married or whether she lived or died.
After what happened with Wang Qiaohe, Jiang Weiguo was completely afraid of women. He was afraid that if he found another one, he would also dislike Shi Tou and abuse the child. He originally thought that it would be fine to just let it go and live alone with his son, but when he saw how well Jiang Chen and Ye Rou got along, he changed his mind again.
A wife, children and a warm bed are the most reassuring pursuits in a man's heart.
After dinner, Ye Rou went to find the two children, while Jiang Chen and Jiang Weiguo moved to the outer hall to continue their conversation.
"The guys in the yard next to you ended up getting into a group fight. Two of them got shot, and a few others have been taken to the police station." Jiang Weiguo shook his head. "But it's going to be difficult for you to use this as an excuse to reclaim Mr. Zhou's house."
Things like rehabilitation, college entrance examinations, and the return of educated youth to the city came one after another. There were no houses, and too many people returned with no place to live, so there were fights and quarrels. The people in the next yard would never give up their houses so easily, and they would definitely make trouble again in the future.
Old Zhou is the real owner of the yard next door, and he has all the necessary proof of ownership. He left the cowshed in a hurry and entrusted the house to a man named Ren Xing. That guy had evil intentions, and seeing that Old Zhou couldn't go back for a while, he secretly rented out the yard. Over the years, all kinds of people have lived in it, and the house has been ruined beyond recognition.
Ren Xing took the money and ran away. The police station is looking for him, but it is too difficult to drive away the people living in the yard.
"How do you plan to drive those three families away?" Jiang Weiguo looked at Jiang Chen.
He sat in an armchair, his long legs crossed, looking lazy and with a dark look in his eyes, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.
Jiang Weiguo missed Jiang Chen for two months, and he became more and more worried.
Jiang Chen only said, "Now that the house is gone, they won't make trouble anymore."
His voice was low, and contained a dangerous edge.
Jiang Weiguo was frightened and gave a dry warning: "Don't do anything extreme, kid."
Jiang Chen looked at him with a half-smile and said lazily, "Don't worry, I know my limits."
“…” Jiang Weiguo became even more worried.
He made up his mind to come here more often in the future and instill more good virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness in this kid.
"Monkey volunteered to go undercover in the human trafficking gang." Jiang Weiguo sighed.
Judging from the evidence currently in the hands of the police, this human trafficking has formed a dark chain.
As long as there are buyers and demand, there will be a market for human trafficking. On the supply side, human traffickers target women, children, and even young men who are not well-versed in the world.
Wang Meng is a small supplier whose main activity area is in Changdu Town. He sends the abducted young men to illegal mines and sends the young girls to the red-light district in Haicheng by train, ship and car, forcing them into prostitution and making money by selling their bodies.
They followed Wang Meng's line of investigation and found that they also sent people across the border to some southeastern countries, mostly young girls.
In order to rescue his sister, Monkey took the initiative to apply to work undercover in the human trafficking gang until he found his sister and caught the human traffickers.
Jiang Weiguo lowered his voice and said, "Monkey overheard something. It seems that the Qu family is also involved in human trafficking. Cheng Gang has not left since he sent Ye Rou to Jing City. He has been following a human trafficker. I saw him meet Qu Zhi with my own eyes, more than once."
Jiang Chen suddenly laughed slowly.
The extremely dangerous smile made Jiang Weiguo's hair stand on end.
