Chapter 111 That time...
When Ah Da had savings, Commander Tang and the others were not surprised at all.
After all, he was once the second-in-command of Shanghai's richest man and also an outstanding businessman.
Merchants are profit-driven; they don't believe that Ah Da was willing to invest simply because he didn't want Su Meng to be in danger.
Director Jiang and Division Commander Tang had identical expressions as they sat side by side opposite A-Da, each holding Su Meng's notebook and scrutinizing A-Da intently.
Seeing the serious atmosphere, Su Meng racked her brains to try and ease the tension.
Before she could even speak, she heard Ah Da say something.
"My elder brother Su Mianzhi and I wish to transfer our household registration to Peach Blossom Island and register it under my aunt's name."
From then on, we were no longer members of the Su family, the red capitalists of Shanghai; we simply wished to be ordinary fishermen on Peach Blossom Island.
Ultimately, he was afraid that someone would bring up the old issues again and label them as capitalists, which would implicate his family.
"That's it?" Commander Tang was a little incredulous, leaning forward to stare at him, looking directly into his pupils.
Ah Da was not afraid at all and met her gaze calmly. "Of course! We have plenty of food and clothing. We're just afraid that someone will use our identity to their advantage."
Money is an external thing; it only becomes money when used properly. Otherwise, what's the difference between it and garbage?
Su Meng also smiled and said, "Chief, I agree. This data leak is not the kind of piecemeal plagiarism reported in the newspapers."
I suspect they stole the original report we submitted.
Xiao Chen from the Shanghai Stock Exchange Research Institute was likely just a front for them.
"If we owned our own factory, we'd be the first to be featured in the newspapers."
Director Jiang wholeheartedly agreed, "That makes sense. Commander Tang, it's just signing a household registration form, right? Move it!"
After the deal was settled and Commander Tang and Director Jiang left, Su Meng mysteriously handed a savings book to A'da, "Uncle, do you think this is enough to build the factory?"
Ah Da looked at Su Meng with amusement, not having the heart to dampen her good intentions, and said, "How much money could a little girl like you have? You don't need to worry about these things."
He assumed the savings account showed Su Meng's hard-earned money from working and studying, saying, "I want to see how much you've saved over the years."
However, when he saw the huge sums of money in the passbook, even the usually calm and collected Ah Da was so shocked that his hand trembled and he almost tore the passbook apart.
Five million?
He tried his best to suppress all his surprise, and the voice that came out was deep and heavy.
"How did you do that? At this time of year... Could it be that the theft at the Su Mansion was your doing?"
The dates on the passbook start from the time the Su Mansion was robbed, and the money was deposited in more than a dozen separate transactions from the same bank in different cities.
As perceptive as Ah Da was, he immediately understood the cause and effect, and the shock in his eyes instantly turned into pride. "Xiao Meng, well done! But you can't show your face about this, and you can't reveal it to anyone."
My savings were originally close to one million, plus your dad's in Swiss bank, which should have been enough for a small business.
With your help, we have more confidence to talk to Commander Tang.
They were born into privilege, so how could they possibly be content to be just ordinary fishermen?
Su Meng had already made up a story in her mind about where the money came from, but seeing that A Da didn't ask, she immediately felt much more relaxed.
These are just a portion of the silver coins and gold in the space.
There are still many antiques and calligraphy and paintings that haven't been sold.
"Uncle, I'm leaving everything to you. But are you physically capable?"
Ah Da glared at Su Meng with annoyance, "Don't worry about it! I've already recovered."
If Zhong Cuilin and Old Master Su hadn't both died...
I wonder where that brat Shen Wuyang is being held by the military.
Zhong Wanrou was sent to a farm for reform, and I wanted nothing more than to drag them out and whip them.
No! Someone as vicious as Zhong Wanrou must die, otherwise life will never be peaceful.
As he spoke, he handed the passbook to Su Meng and said as he walked away, "I'm going out for a bit. Why isn't Huo Zhenhua back yet?"
Huo Zhenhua just opened the door and bumped into Ah Da, who was talking about him.
He asked in confusion, "Uncle, where are you going?"
Without turning his head, Ah Da shouted, "Revenge!"
Su Meng: "Uncle, let her be reformed on the farm! A delicate young lady like her will surely suffer a fate worse than death on a farm."
Huo Zhenhua immediately understood, "You're looking for Zhong Wanrou? Uncle, I was just about to tell you that Zhong Wanrou was rescued on her way to the farm last night."
"What?" Ah Da turned around abruptly, looking at Huo Zhenhua in disbelief. "Where are your people?"
“Both of the escorts have been killed,” Huo Zhenhua sighed. “It was premeditated. I’m sorry! We haven’t been able to track down Zhong Wanrou yet.”
Su Meng exclaimed, "She's incredibly lucky to be alive."
Suddenly, she remembered that the book had described in detail the scene of Zhong Wanrou taking a bath before her wedding night, and that she did not have any bloodline characteristics of the Su family on her shoulder blades.
Therefore, she could not possibly be the daughter of Old Master Su.
But Zhong Cuilin is dead, and no one knows who she is.
However, as things stand, Zhong Wanrou doesn't pose much of a threat to her, so let her be.
“Uncle, this adds another crime to her list: running away. Let’s ignore her and focus on our own lives.”
Ah Da didn't say anything.
He leaned back in his chair expressionlessly, a strange unease creeping into his heart. He vaguely felt that Zhong Wanrou was an invisible "bomb" that had to be eliminated.
The next two days were uneventful.
Su Meng happily wandered around the ward early in the morning, waiting for Huo Zhenhua to finish his discharge surgery so that she could get away from the pungent disinfectant and the cramped ward.
But just as they were leaving, they suddenly heard a scream from upstairs.
This was followed by a man's roar and the sound of hurried footsteps.
Huo Zhenhua frowned and glanced upstairs. "It sounds like Commander Nie's voice. I'll go check it out!"
Just two minutes later, he returned with a complicated expression.
Let's go!
He didn't want to say anything, and neither Su Meng nor A Da were interested in asking.
But as soon as I stepped out of the inpatient department, I saw Sun Qiao rush out from behind, covering her face with her hands and running away crying.
Su Meng: "...What song are they singing?"
Huo Zhenhua: "She's trying to make it a fait accompli, she wants to rise to the top in one step."
His tone trailed off with a hint of glee; there was no doubt he was gloating.
Su Meng was stunned. "Didn't she like you? How could she... end up with him?"
That's incredible!
Sun Qiaozhen is a formidable person!
A person who knows how to make choices!
She's a decisive and ruthless person!
"So, does this mean she can finally marry into the Nie family as she wishes?" Su Meng, oblivious to Huo Zhenhua's changed expression, continued gossiping, "Were there people watching just now? Did you see it too?"
Huo Zhenhua turned his head and stared at her, "Aren't you disappointed?"
Su Meng looked bewildered and asked, "What does this have to do with me? On the contrary, are you disappointed that your suitor is with someone else?"
Huo Zhenhua glanced at Ah Da, who was walking ahead, quickly flicked her head, and chuckled, "What does she have to do with me?"
Then, mustering his courage, he leaned closer and said, "That time we..."
Upon hearing this, Su Mengru, like a night cat with its fur standing on end, glared at him fiercely, gritted her teeth, and waved her fist as a warning, "You'd better think carefully before you say anything reckless, or I'll knock your teeth out."
Huo Zhenhua's eyes dimmed slightly.
Is she still unwilling to face the things they once had that were intimate?
Sun Qiao lay fully clothed on Nie Ronghua's bed, yet she insisted on forcing him to marry her.
Why is she so calm?
They've been completely honest with each other, and their relationship is down to the last step. Shouldn't they... be together?
