Chapter 777 Li Rui comes to Beijing
Seeing her painful expression, Ye Rou smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not trying to embarrass you."
Sun Baiqing blinked his eyes, pursed his lips, and looked at Ye Rou pitifully, trying to win Ye Rou's sympathy: "You say, as long as I can do it, I will promise you."
The cheesy words made Jiang Chen look up with displeasure in his eyes.
Sun Baiqing was fearless, but when he met Jiang Chen's gaze, he felt a chill and shrank closer to Ye Rou.
Ye Rou said, "Okay, you can let me persuade Chang Hua, but I need to investigate for Chang Hua first."
Sun Baiqing didn't expect Ye Rou to be so concerned about the two children, but after thinking for a while, she nodded and said, "I'll talk to the deputy mayor's wife. She should agree."
She had been having a headache these past few days because of this matter. Now that Ye Rou had agreed, she was afraid that she would regret it, so she reluctantly turned down Ye Rou's invitation to stay for dinner and couldn't wait to contact the person.
As soon as Sun Baiqing left, Jiang Chen came over and said in a deep and magnetic voice, "What evil plan are you planning again?"
The breath hit her ear. Ye Rou shrank her neck to avoid it, but Jiang Chen grabbed her hand and pulled her back: "Why are you hiding?"
"Itchy." Ye Rou had just finished speaking when a big hand with thin calluses rubbed behind her ear. She squinted her eyes comfortably and took the initiative to rub against the man's hand.
The man's stern face was filled with a gentle smile, and he lightened his grip.
After the tingling sensation subsided, Ye Rou didn't keep the secret and continued, "I want to go find the mute woman."
If the mute woman wanted to take revenge, she would definitely ambush near Li Cheng's family. That was the reason why Ye Rou gave in.
The man brushed aside the strands of hair on her forehead and tapped her brow: "Why do you care about her?"
Jiang Chen was very dissatisfied with the sudden departure of the mute woman.
He hired the mute woman to take care of Ye Rou. Now she suddenly wants to take revenge, and the temporary replacement cook is obviously not to Ye Rou's liking, and she has to adapt again.
Now Ye Rou has to worry about her safety, Jiang Chen said in a bad tone.
Ye Rou listened and suddenly reached out her hand towards Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen lowered his head to let her hook her arms around his neck.
Ye Rou deliberately slowed down her voice, saying softly and slowly, "Don't worry, I won't interfere in the affairs of the mute woman. I'm just going to see her."
These days, because she ate well and slept well, and Jiang Chen had returned, he took care of all the trivial matters, so Ye Rou didn't have to worry about it. Her cheeks had become a little fleshier and softer, and Jiang Chen liked to pinch them.
There was no reason to let go of the meat that was offered to him. Jiang Chen leaned over and bit the slightly pouting cheek. After tasting it enough, he said with satisfaction, "As long as you're happy."
Ye Rou's cheeks were wet from being sucked, and she felt very uncomfortable. She pushed Jiang Chen away and rubbed her face with her hands.
Jiang Chen mistook this for disgust, so he held her down and kissed her again.
It was not until Leng Po came and knocked on the door, saying that Cheng Gang had arrived, that Jiang Chen let go of the little guy in his arms who was dizzy from being kissed.
Ye Rou was getting hungry very quickly, and Jiang Chen urged her to eat three meals on time, so she would be hungry when the time came. Knowing that Cheng Gang had arrived, the two of them would definitely discuss something, so Ye Rou was impatient to accompany him and wanted to go eat.
Jiang Chen glanced at the time and saw that it was time for dinner. He did not try to keep her, but only reminded her to walk carefully, as if Ye Rou would easily fall if she left him.
Cheng Gang saw this scene.
The 1.9-meter-tall, gloomy man followed closely behind the woman, staring at her without blinking, and nagging her with trivial words like "walk slower" and "don't step on the cobblestones".
Cheng Gang was stunned.
Ye Rou is really clever. She managed to train the leader wolf into a loyal dog.
Jiang Chen seemed to realize that Cheng Gang was scolding him, and looked over. The light passed through the treetops, casting shadows on the man's handsome features, making him look particularly dangerous.
Cheng Gang shuddered and smiled ingratiatingly.
The 1.80-meter-tall, square-faced man smiled flatteringly and looked treacherous. Jiang Chen looked away in disdain: "Come in."
Cheng Gang followed him in and wanted to exchange a few words with Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen was impatient to waste time with him. He was anxious to stare at Ye Rou eating and urged, "What's the matter?"
Fortunately, Cheng Gang was used to it, so he simply cut out the nonsense and continued, "Li Hu has been arrested. He was smuggling cultural relics and trafficking people... The evidence is irrefutable. He will be executed in two weeks."
"The stolen artifacts from the museum have been returned. Following Zhao Quan's family's lead, all the upstream and downstream dealers have been busted."
It was obviously a good thing that the case was solved, but there was no trace of joy on Cheng Gang's face.
After reporting the follow-up of the case, he couldn't wait any longer and asked Jiang Chen, "Did you know that Li Rui came to Beijing?"
Jiang Chen seemed to have expected this and responded calmly.
Cheng Gang was incredibly curious. "What were you and Monkey doing at Director Cui's birthday party? Li Rui wasn't that angry even when Li Hu was arrested. You didn't see that scene."
During the raid on the dock, Li Hu and his men were caught red-handed. Cheng Gang was afraid of accidents, so he put them on the train overnight. However, just when the train was about to start, Li Rui brought a group of people to stop the train!
When Li Rui got into the car, he looked more embarrassed than ever before.
His hair, which used to be combed straight with hair oil, fell down. He had dark circles under his eyes and his lips were chapped. He got into the car with a gloomy face. There was murderous intent in his eyes and his gaze was like a knife, searching in the west.
Cheng Gang thought he was going to take Li Hu away by force, so he stood in front of Li Hu, holding his gun tightly with a defensive look on his face.
As a result, Li Rui didn't even look at Li Hu. He took his men to search the carriages one by one. He searched back and forth three times and even checked the bottom of the train.
Cheng Gang watched coldly, and when he saw that he had returned empty-handed, he went over to inquire.
In the end, Li Rui didn't even give him a good look, and asked him first: "Where is Jiang Chen?"
Cheng Gang was not a good-tempered person. Li Rui's attitude was cold and hard, so he naturally would not try to please Li Rui. He first said he didn't know.
Talking about this again, Cheng Gang seemed to still feel happy, with a smug smile on his face: "You didn't see Li Rui's face. When he heard me say I didn't know, his face darkened instantly, faster and darker than the rain on a rainy day."
Jiang Chen just felt bored and said impatiently: "It's okay, I'm leaving first."
Cheng Gang quickly dropped his smile and stopped him: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient. Tell me first, what were you and Monkey doing? Did you steal something from that courtyard? What did you steal? Let me tell you, if it's a cultural relic, you can't keep it. You have to hand it over to the country."
Jiang Chen didn't intend to hide it from him, so he answered first, "Ye Rou's grandmother."
"Huh?" Cheng Gang's forehead was filled with question marks. This answer was beyond his expectations. He couldn't believe it and said, "What do you mean Ye Rou's grandmother?"
"Jiang Chen, do you think I'm stupid? Didn't Chairman Zheng's wife already..."
Jiang Chen said nonchalantly, "Believe it or not, I'm telling you anyway."
Cheng Gang came here just to find out what Jiang Chen took from Li Rui. If it was a cultural relic, he would persuade him to hand it over. But he never expected that it was a person. Now he has no idea what to do.
The point is, this is too outrageous, who could have thought of it?
Grandma Ye Rou, Chairman Zheng’s wife is actually with Li Rui. Judging from how long she has been there, it must have been quite some time. What is going on?
Jiang Chen didn't have the patience to answer his questions one by one, so Cheng Gang had to leave with a lot of questions in his mind. Before leaving, he reminded Jiang Chen to be careful.
"Li Rui has come with ill intentions. He's in the dark while you and Ye Rou are in the open. Especially since Ye Rou is pregnant, there's no guarantee he won't make moves on her..."
Before he could finish his words, the temperature suddenly dropped sharply.
Jiang Chen's bottomless eyes revealed a strong murderous aura: "He dares!"
Cheng Gang didn't dare to say anything more and quickly said, "It's always better to be careful. I'll also have someone keep an eye on Li Rui and warn you if anything happens. I'm leaving now."
Jiang Chen's face was tense, foreshadowing the coming storm.
