Liu Haizhong was captivated by the official position, money, and house promised by Granny Long, and agreed to go to the neighborhood committee office with Granny Long to get their retirement certificate officially signed.
Old Lady Long schemed to get Liu Haizhong's family to support her in her old age, all following Zheng Ya's shady tactics. She offered so much money and support that it was impossible for anyone to refuse.
Simple and practical is more effective than any conspiracy or trickery.
As for being a scapegoat after the truth comes out, Grandma Long isn't worried at all.
Throughout the entire process, she maintained the mindset that she was there to offer advice but not to actually do the work, and she wasn't afraid of being framed by anyone.
Little did she know that Liu Haizhong only wanted to use her as a temporary tool, to discard her after he was done with her. He helped the old lady Long walk down the street to the street office and said, "Old lady, where is the house you mentioned?"
"Haha, Haizhong, I'll tell you about this after we go to the neighborhood committee to get our elderly care relationship officially registered." Old Mrs. Long still doesn't trust Liu Haizhong's character.
If he reveals this beforehand, Liu Haizhong could simply walk away, leaving her with all the benefits, and all her efforts would be for nothing.
When it comes to manipulating people, take your time; Old Lady Long has no rush.
Liu Haizhong suppressed his curiosity and didn't dare to ask further, which made their relationship seem disharmonious, and he was definitely not the kind of person that Old Lady Long wanted to take care of her.
Whether the sincerity is genuine or not is not important; what matters is having the right attitude.
Otherwise, it's impossible to gain the other party's approval, and you can forget about any benefits.
But without asking about the specific benefits, and not being able to believe that Old Lady Long had the ability, Liu Haizhong gave a wink to his wife who was following behind him.
The second aunt was still angry and said irritably, "Old lady, you're not telling us the truth so we can feel at ease?"
How could we dare go to the neighborhood office with you to do notarized elderly care matters?
Let's put ourselves in your shoes, would you feel the same way?
Her rude tone and loud voice were her way of venting her anger by deliberately provoking Old Lady Long to find a new husband.
Although subconsciously she wanted to take advantage of Grandma Long in her old age, her rational mind told her she couldn't do that, or she would regret it.
Little did they know that the old lady Long had chosen this family to take care of her in her old age, not Liu Haizhong and the second aunt, but Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian, whom they had beaten and scolded for many years.
In Grandma Long's view, as long as she gives Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian enough love and support, it will be like sending charcoal in snowy weather, saving the two of them, and then helping them find jobs so that it won't be difficult for them to support her in her old age.
However, after Auntie Er asked this question, Old Lady Long had no choice but to reveal some information: "What do you think of Yan Fugui's house?"
"What? They're plotting to take Yan Fugui's house? How could that be?" Aunt Er was stunned, thinking she had misheard.
Does this mean Granny Long is up to something again?
At this moment, Wu Wei finished her lunch and followed the workers to the sink to wash the dishes with her lunchbox. She inadvertently caught a glimpse of a forgotten person in the courtyard, Jia Dongxu.
Jia Dongxu was chatting and smoking with Hu Laiwang, a staff member of the security department.
What seemed ordinary was not normal in Wu Wei's eyes.
First, one of them was a security guard and the other was a fitter in a workshop. They belonged to different departments and theoretically had no possibility of getting to know each other.
You know, there are seven or eight thousand people in the entire steel rolling mill. Who knows who?
Even when making friends, they only associate with people who know them well, and their social circle does not exceed a hundred people, which is considered a normal range of social interaction.
It's unlikely that people from different departments will form connections.
Unless there is business dealings?
Secondly, in Wu Wei's understanding of the case, Jia Dongxu's personal information was very special: he was lazy, loved to eat, drank, gambled, and smoked.
Of course, this era resisted prostitution, and the women of the night who remained from the old society were successively resettled and married.
However, Jia Dongxu also has a history of romantic escapades.
Especially gambling; Jia Dongxu has accumulated a lot of gambling debts.
So how will Jia Dongxu repay his gambling debts?
Finally, Jia Dongxu kept a low profile in the courtyard. It was always his mother, Jia Zhangshi, who would throw tantrums and cause trouble in front of others. There was never any instance of Jia Dongxu standing up for himself.
Is this how a son, husband, and father should behave?
Furthermore, the case that broke out in the compound was basically entangled with enemy agents, indicating that someone in the compound was providing intelligence to enemy agents.
Otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence for enemy agents to have real-time information about the people in the compound and to have thrown the enemy agent's codebook at Old Lady Long to frame Zheng Ya.
Therefore, Wu Wei suspected that Jia Dongxu was an informant for the enemy. After washing the dishes, she handed them to her colleague Liu Juan and, under the pretext of going to the toilet, began to spy on Jia Dongxu.
It's worth mentioning Wu Wei's position; she works at a steel rolling mill and gets involved in the investigation as a security officer.
Zheng Daotong's sacrifice was inextricably linked to the steel rolling mill.
On the eve of his sacrifice, Zheng Daotong was on night shift at the steel rolling mill. After his death, according to the account of the security staff, they received a report from outsiders that someone had committed murder. This forced Zheng Daotong to rush out of the steel rolling mill with a gun, but he was ambushed and killed on the way.
It is obvious that the steel rolling mill is more or less suspected of colluding with enemy agents to frame Zheng Daotong.
Or perhaps someone in the factory tipped off enemy agents.
Considering these factors, Wu Wei requested to enter the steel rolling mill to investigate the case.
Therefore, Wu Wei set her sights on Jia Dongxu and Hu Laiwang.
At this moment, Zheng Ya drove his jeep back to the Sun family clinic with his master. Old Master Sun went straight to his study to make phone calls, collecting dietary therapy recipes for Zheng Ya and opening up his network to find people to send him the secret recipes.
Zheng Ya took some time to drive to the People's Hotel, ordered three dishes and a soup, and a large box of rice, which he then packed to take back to Sun's Medical Clinic.
At this point, Old Sun had finished his phone call and was just waiting for his network of contacts to gather the dietary therapy recipes and send them over.
Xu Qi busied herself setting out the food, while Bao'er entertained his teacher's wife, filling the room with laughter.
The meal was ordinary today, and Zheng Ya dared not make any special requests; indulging in excessive eating and drinking was not advisable.
Going to the People's Hotel to make a appearance was something that Master Sun had deliberately arranged, and Zheng Ya didn't dare to say anything about it.
Pickled fish, stir-fried shredded carrots and green peppers, boiled cabbage and seaweed, shrimp and egg drop soup, served with rice, this is considered a standard meal for a well-off family.
Boiled cabbage in clear broth is simply ordinary boiled cabbage.
This is not the boiled cabbage in clear broth that a master chef makes; that is a truly exceptional and main dish.
After the meal, Old Master Sun called Zheng Ya to his study for a talk: "My disciple, did you suffer any injustice today?"
"Master, what do you mean by that?" Zheng Ya was a little confused. Where had he been wronged?
Yes, it definitely exists, but people are just too embarrassed to say it.
Old Master Sun smiled wryly and said, "Your disciple is being too formal with his master?"
My master is old, but he's not senile.
Today's ambush was all too suspicious.
After all, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. We only decided to go to the military headquarters to treat Lao Lei after receiving a call that he had fallen ill.
This involved a phone conversation that lasted only about ten minutes.
In addition, Xiao Liu drove to pick us up to go to the military headquarters. Including the time lost on the way, it only took about twenty minutes in total.
So, during this time, who betrayed our information about going to the military headquarters and allowed enemy agents to set up an ambush beforehand?
"Haha, Master is indeed Master, you actually thought the same thing as your disciple. But this matter is not easy to handle, is it?" Zheng Ya hesitated...
