Chapter 157 Attempted to burn the dog failed, so she killed the dog she kept in the abandoned factory! ...
The freshman year courses were relatively basic, and Qiu Xiaoman learned them quite smoothly. She didn't have to live on campus and didn't need to worry about the accommodation problems that other students faced, so her campus life was relatively relaxed.
In contrast, her family life is a bit of a struggle—according to current regulations, she can't register her child's birth.
She has neither a marriage certificate nor a birth permit. If she were to apply for a birth permit, she would have to be subject to family planning regulations and be forced to have an IUD inserted. The thought of this made her frown.
Fortunately, her second great-uncle had already thought of everything for her. He hadn't been idle abroad these past few months. First, he got a photo of Fu Ze, then added a surname to Fu Ze's name, and in a flash, he became his grandson.
In this way, the child was brought back from abroad by Fu Ze, and Qiu Xiaoman didn't need to come forward.
As for applying for domestic household registration, it's easy. The country has preferential policies for returning overseas Chinese, especially those like Shen Wanming who bring back a lot of capital to invest. They are especially welcome.
Therefore, the household registration of his grandson and great-granddaughter is naturally not a problem.
When Qiu Xiaoman came home from school that day, she was quite surprised to find a household registration book and an ID card on the table.
He picked it up and couldn't help but laugh: "Senior brother, you have the same surname as me... you have the same surname as Grandpa?"
Fu Ze was changing his daughter's diaper when he pointed to the guest room and said, "Grandpa's back. Go say hello."
Qiu Xiaoman understood, so she quickly put down her schoolbag and went to check the guest room. Unexpectedly, Shen Qinghuai and the strange old man were both there.
There was no other way; according to seniority, these two who were vying to be the grandfather were both a generation younger, so naturally they had to talk to the elder.
They were all sitting on the sofa by the window. The Shen family uncle and nephew were analyzing the international situation, but the eccentric old man didn't like listening and instead picked up a newspaper to look for strange and unusual stories.
Qiu Xiaoman came in with a smile: "Grandpa, you didn't even tell me you were coming back. How are you feeling?"
"That's great. Your grandson-in-law and Xiao Xingran's household registrations are all settled, you can rest assured." Shen Wanming specially saved a seat for her, patted the sofa next to him, and said, "Come and sit down."
Qiu Xiaoman sat down: "Master and President Shen are here too."
Shen Qinghuai was used to it. Among the elders, he was ranked last, so he didn't argue anymore. At least it was better than Chen Baihui not being able to sit at the table.
He asked with a smile, "How's it going? Any problems with your studies?"
“No problem, there’s a lot to memorize.” Qiu Xiaoman looked at Shen Wanming, “Grandpa, are you leaving again this time?”
“I’m not leaving! Didn’t you want to transfer the property under your name to the child’s name? You should transfer the property back to my name tomorrow. After I sell this property, I’ll buy a new one for the child. Otherwise, it will be easy for others to come after you.” Shen Wanming was always shrewd and far-sighted. Since he wanted Xiaoman to appear to have no assets, he wanted to do it thoroughly.
Qiu Xiaoman nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Let my senior brother go with the child. I feel bad that he's been following me without any official status."
"That's what I meant too." Shen Wanming was good at judging people; Fu Ze's heart was with this family, and he wouldn't have any ulterior motives.
Even if he did exist, such a young and inexperienced guy couldn't possibly defeat him.
There was one more thing. He gave Qiu Xiaoman two floor plans: "From now on, you will live separately from them on the surface. In reality, both of these communities have underground parking lots, and they are connected. You will have to go through a bit of trouble every day when you come back, enter from Mingdu Yucheng, walk through the parking lot, and go to Yipin Shangcheng next door."
Qiu Xiaoman took it and glanced at it. On the surface, she lived on the top floor of the nineteenth floor of the third unit of Mingdu, while Fu Ze and the others lived on the top floor of the twelfth floor of the ninth unit of Yipin.
In fact, the whole family lives in Yipin.
However, she had a question: "If someone is really following me, won't they become suspicious if they see that the lights are off upstairs?"
“It’s alright, I’ve arranged for a live-in housekeeper. She’ll have a normal daily routine and will go out to buy groceries and take out the trash. You can send your old clothes and shoes over, so she can take yours with her when she does the laundry. Let’s go all the way.” Shen Wanming had everything planned out. “As for these two houses, all the curtains will be double-layered. One layer will be blackout, and the second layer will be sheer, letting in light but not allowing you to see the people inside. During the day, you must leave the second layer open and only open the blackout layer.”
In this way, there really isn't a big problem. If someone is really following her, Qiu Xiaoman has developed so many cats, dogs, and bird detectives that they can notify her in time. She can shake off the person and come back, or simply go back to Mingdu and stay for the night.
In short, we must not expose Fuze and the child to hostile forces.
She had been taking precautions during her prenatal checkup. She wore heavy makeup, used a pseudonym, and went to a private hospital, so it was impossible for anyone to recognize her.
Moreover, she recovered well after giving birth. Apart from a slight milky smell, there were basically no flaws. To cover up this, she used perfume, which naturally smelled of milk, so it wasn't a big problem.
She went over other minor details with Shen Wanming, such as where to go for medical treatment when the child is sick, and whether the child's mother's name was always left blank.
Everything was settled. Qiu Xiaoman looked up and saw that Shen Qinghuai and the strange old man had both gone out, probably because they couldn't get a word in edgewise and were too bored.
Qiu Xiaoman stood up and said, "Come out and see the child, Grandpa. This little guy is growing so fast!"
Shen Wanming was quite happy to accept this. He also lived in Yipin, but not in the same unit. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, which is always true.
*
Three months later, all the property transfers were completed. Qiu Xiaoman only had three properties left: two were courtyard houses, one bought by Shen Qinghuai and one given to her by her second uncle, and the last one was her new residence in Mingdu.
Wu Lili quickly received the news and immediately convened a revenge meeting with Xie Yuling, Fang Jiadong, and Lü Minjie.
Lu Minjie said helplessly, "I don't know what's going on in Hong Kong, but none of the assassins dare to take on the job of killing her. I've also contacted a few overseas, and it's the same. They all say that some ruthless people who are not to be trifled with have already spoken to them."
"Who is it?" Xie Yuling couldn't take it anymore. She hadn't managed to kill Qiu Xiaoman after all this time, and she was still alive and kicking, even getting into university. It was infuriating.
Lü Minjie was also unsure, only knowing that "there is more than one ruthless character. I went to great lengths, but all I got was a vague answer."
"What do you mean?" Xie Yuling was very anxious. She no longer thought much of Wu Shirong, that blockhead, and had found a new, obedient man. Unfortunately, her hatred for Qiu Xiaoman was growing day by day.
There's no way around it; this isn't a question of whether they're men or not, but rather that the emerging power represented by the Xie family is no match for the hidden force behind Qiu Xiaoman.
Xie Yuling is very competitive and insists on getting to the bottom of things.
Lü Minjie said helplessly, "One side is a bigwig in the legitimate world. Although he won't say, I guess it's most likely that old man from the Shen family overseas, Shen Wanming. The other side is in the underworld. I don't know his name, but I've heard he's a ruthless guy who's not worth messing with."
"That's strange. Didn't Qiu Xiaoman grow up in Yunnan? How did she get involved with Hong Kong forces?" Fang Jiadong was also shocked. He had overestimated himself and tried to kill Qiu Xiaoman. If Lu Minjie's information was true, then it was lucky that he didn't succeed. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.
Lü Minjie didn't know either: "Don't ask anymore, I've spent a lot of money and I still can't get the answer."
Wu Lili, who had remained silent until now, finally delivered an important speech: "In that case, let's observe for a while. Anyway, she's gone to university, so she probably won't be training dogs anymore anytime soon."
"How's it going on your end?" Xie Yuling didn't like Wu Lili, but Wu Lili was right. The exchange of power and sex in the world of fame and fortune was nothing new. Since her mother was also involved, she would just treat her father's extramarital affair with a normal attitude.
She only cares about interests and losses now; as for morality and principles, they're all bullshit.
Wu Lili had long known that she would turn out this way; after all, society, that big melting pot, is just that magical.
She smiled and said, "It's alright. I recently contacted the people at White Eagle and got a batch of white powder. If all goes well, it should be able to get in in a few days."
"Will it go smoothly? I heard that the border police have also trained drug-sniffing dogs." Xie Yuling wasn't so optimistic, after all, they had failed several times.
She's short of money right now and really wants to take a bite out of Wu Lili. Of course, she won't do drug trafficking, which is a capital offense; she's just waiting to pick up the easy money.
Wu Lili knew exactly what she was thinking. She retorted sarcastically, "Just wish me well!"
Xie Yuling smiled and said, "Okay, I wish you all the best."
As a result, just a few days after their revenge meeting, news came from the border that the military and police had joined forces to wipe out White Eagle's drug trafficking team in one fell swoop!
Wu Lili was furious! Having lost tens of millions, she had lost her mind. She had to get revenge on Qiu Xiaoman. If she couldn't get revenge on Qiu Xiaoman herself, she would get revenge on her dog!
If you can't get your hands on the base's dogs, then kill the dog she keeps in the abandoned factory!
When she arrived with her men and a truckload of gasoline, ready to set the place on fire, the bird patrol team, composed of Lele's descendants, immediately noticed the anomaly and sent the message to the factory and Qiu Xiaoman's residence.
Qiu Xiaoman immediately called the animal keepers in the factory and reported the incident to the police.
By the time the group broke the lock and rushed in, intending to knock out the zookeeper and burn the dogs, the police, who had been alerted, had already arrived at the scene.
Although the attempt failed, the fact that they came with gasoline in the middle of the night clearly indicated they had ill intentions.
Detain him first, then we'll talk.
Just as the police took the person away, Qiu Xiaoman arrived. Seeing that all the dogs were safe and sound, and none were missing, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Zookeeper Gangzi asked curiously, "Xiao Qiu, what's wrong with them going crazy at night instead of sleeping?"
"A drug trafficking gang was busted at the border," Qiu Xiaoman said, stopping short of stating the facts.
Gangzi understood. He had received a high salary from Shen Qinghuai, so naturally he had to be loyal to his duties. He reassured him, "Don't worry, I've learned a bit in the past two years. I've arranged for dogs to patrol at night. But I have to warn you in advance that if things get really bad, the dogs will bite. If things get out of hand, I'm afraid some people will demand that the dogs be killed."
"I know. In short, try our best to prevent them from biting anyone. If it really comes to a head, the most important thing is to ensure their own survival. As for how to handle the aftermath, I'll take care of it," Qiu Xiaoman reassured him.
Gangzi was relieved: "Then you should go back quickly. Tomorrow is the eve of the Lunar New Year. These people are really making a fuss."
"Okay, you should get some rest too." Qiu Xiaoman was still worried, so she gave the dogs some more instructions on the rules of urban survival. The first rule was not to bite unless absolutely necessary, but if their lives were in danger, they had to fight back.
The dogs all surrounded her, listening attentively.
She has to touch and comfort them one by one before she can do so.
When she returned, sure enough, someone was following her. She stopped the car to see who it was.
