"Oh? Are you Boqian's man?" He Shumin understood what Boss Hong meant and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't afraid of this fat man's greed, but he was afraid of him not wanting anything. It would be easier to deal with the fat man if he was Boqian's subordinate. It seemed like he was implicated by Boqian this time, wasn't he?
He Shumin had a vague idea that He Boqian's subordinates had started several secret businesses. Far from reprimanding him, He Shumin actually thought his son was quite capable. It was no wonder, given the large family size, that if He Boqian hadn't managed to make more money, life would have been incredibly difficult.
"Yes, I work for Brother Qian." At this point, Boss Hong no longer hid the truth from He Shumin. Anyway, as long as He Shumin walked out of this door, he could easily get to the bottom of the matter between him and Cao Dabiao by anyone who could investigate.
Boss Hong wasn't a good guy either. He'd been out of prison for less than two years, and only became the official boss of Paradise on Earth six months ago. Cao Dabiao wasn't a good guy either. He was a desperate criminal who would kill or burn anything for the right price.
There was no chance before, and Boss Hong and Cao Dabiao didn't dare to set their sights on the entertainment city. Now that He Shumin has personally handed the evidence to them, they would be fools not to take advantage of it!
"Okay, I'll tell Boqian that this entertainment city will be yours from now on." He Shumin immediately agreed to Boss Hong. In He Shumin's view, what belonged to He Boqian was his. As long as he was safe, what did He Boqian want?
Seeing that He Shumin readily agreed to his request, Boss Hong happily went to call He Boqian. On the phone, Boss Hong didn't say anything else, just that he and Cao Dabiao saved He Shumin, and He Shumin appreciated him and gave him and Cao Dabiao the entertainment city.
After receiving the call, He Boqian rushed to the "paradise on earth" shortly afterwards.
After knowing that He Shumin agreed to give the entertainment city to Boss Hong, He Boqian's face turned pale. He didn't say a word on the way to pick He Shumin up and take him home.
He Shumin was frightened. When she got home, she didn't even bother to explain to her son and went to rest.
He Shumin felt like his kidnapping was a dream, with many things that didn't make sense. However, he couldn't rely on his imagination to find answers right now, so he had to find the truth. He Shumin figured it wouldn't be too late to explain things to his sons once the truth was revealed.
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when Cao Yumei returned to her parents' home with her son He Qiusheng.
The Cao family went to bed early, and Cao Yumei's arrival woke everyone up.
Cao Yunfei was a little annoyed.
Cao Yumei had always been well-behaved at her parents' home, and as Cao Yunfei's youngest daughter, the whole family loved her very much. Since Cao Yumei married into the He family, she seemed to have changed into a different person. Every time she returned to her parents' home, she was either asking Cao Yunfei to take care of He Boqian, or she was lobbying for that old fox He Shumin.
Cao Yunfei had scolded her and been angry with her, but Cao Yumei hadn't changed her stubborn ways. Two years ago, Cao Yunfei had given up on this little girl. She always came back to take advantage of her parents' daughter, which was worse than having her.
"Old lady, go and see what trouble she is going to make and let her go back home as soon as possible." Cao Yunfei said to his wife Huo Aijin.
After Huo Aizhen went out for about ten minutes, she returned to the bedroom.
"Gone?" Cao Yunfei closed his eyes. Although his tone was indifferent, Huo Aizhen knew that her old man was worried about her!
"No, Yumei said she wanted to stay at her parents' home for a few days, so I asked her to take Xiaoqiu to sleep in the guest room." After Huo Aizhen answered, she did not hear Cao Yunfei speak.
Huo Aizhen didn't ask. She knew her old man's temper. If he wanted to say something, he would say it later. If he didn't want to say something, he wouldn't say it even if she asked.
"Let them live here with their son!" Cao Yunfei said this after a long while. After that, Cao Yunfei did not wait for his wife to reply, but turned over and fell asleep.
Huo Aizhen sighed, not daring to say anything else, and stared at the ceiling with her eyes open.
Huo Aizhen felt a pang of anxiety. Her daughter had returned home with her grandson so late at night that something must have happened in the He family. However, the old man had told her two years ago that no one in the family was allowed to meddle in the He family's affairs, and anyone who did would be kicked out. Huo Aizhen wanted to ask her daughter a few questions, but then she realized that asking wouldn't help anyway, so it was better to remain in the dark.
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. She is an old woman and can’t take care of so many things!
Huo Aizhen relaxed and soon fell asleep.
After Huo Aizhen fell asleep, Cao Yunfei opened his eyes. He couldn't sleep tonight because of Cao Yumei's return to her parents' home. Cao Yunfei knew that Cao Yumei must have come back because of He Shumin's matter. However, he would not care about this matter, nor did he dare to care. Who made He Shumin so blind to provoke Zhou Jinyu!
Cao Yunfei received a call from General Zhou this morning. General Zhou didn't say anything else on the phone except that he'd been set upon by a villain and nearly died before he could see his old friend! Cao Yunfei's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't thought General Zhou's coma was the result of someone's manipulation; he'd assumed he'd simply fainted from exhaustion.
After General Zhou hung up the phone, Cao Yunfei felt his face burning with shame. He had trusted Dean Hao's diagnosis so much that General Zhou was taken to the hospital by Dean Hao and his team.
Cao Yunfei also understood that General Zhou's intention in making this call today was to see where he, Cao Yunfei, stood. If Cao Yunfei showed any intention of defending He Shumin, he estimated that he would also become General Zhou's "enemy."
Zhou Jinyu was once a renowned assassin in the military. Over the past twenty years, he'd faded from public view due to health issues, but that didn't mean the former assassin had become a sick cat. Cao Yunfei had known General Zhou for so many years, but he'd never seen anyone escape unscathed after provoking him.
Cao Yunfei had anticipated He Shumin's fate the moment he received General Zhou's call. He simply hadn't anticipated General Zhou's revenge coming so quickly or so violently. General Zhou had just left the hospital this morning, and He Shumin had vanished by noon.
As the city's police searched for He Shumin's whereabouts, several veterans of Cao Yunfei's stature remained silent. This time, they were the ones who had wronged Zhou Jinyu, allowing him to be ambushed right under their noses. Everyone knew General Zhou's temper. If they didn't let him vent his anger, who knew what would happen next? Would they intervene? What if Zhou Jinyu mistook them for He Shumin's accomplices?
The title of "King Zhou" wasn't earned for nothing. Anyone who provoked General Zhou could only hope for the best. Only He Shumin, that fool, thought he was smart enough to plot against General Zhou.
