Chapter 110: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road

Du Ruo sat at the desk, staring at the jade pendant in her hand. She had made this thing once before and was very familiar with it. She finished it in just one day.

This jade pendant is exactly the same as the one she gave to Director Zhang. It looks the same as the pattern, but there is a slight difference. This is a fish hook, and it depends on whether the fish will bite the hook.

Du Ruo waved to Yuan Qi who was standing not far from the door.

Yuan Qi came over quickly: "Mr. Du."

"Please help me deliver this to the Li family and have someone give it to Mr. Li." Du Ruo wrapped up the jade pendant in his hand and handed it to Yuan Qi.

Yuan Qi reached out to take it, turned around and was about to walk out.

Before leaving the house, Yuan Tingchuan and Li Anze were seen walking towards them from a distance.

Du Ruo called Yuan Qi: "No need to send it, just put it on the table."

Yuan Qi also saw Li Anze coming. He put the things back on the table, turned around and walked out.

Li Anze walked across the threshold calmly with a smile on his face. When he saw Du Ruo, he frowned and said, "I told you, be careful. If you have something you can't solve, you should call me and I'll ask the driver to pick you up."

Du Ruo smiled: "It's not that I don't want to call you, but the village is very small, there are no telephones, and my cell phone has no signal there. Isn't there anything I can do?"

Li Anze sat down on the sofa opposite him, saying with a tone of self-blame: "I was inconsiderate. I should have asked someone to accompany you."

How could Li Anze be so inconsiderate? He pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth. Both of them were clear-headed, so it was not convenient for him to let his people go with him.

Yuan Tingchuan sat next to Du Ruo, reached out and poured her a cup of tea, and said in a natural and familiar tone: "Be careful, don't burn it."

The corner of Du Ruo's mouth twitched. The more he got to know Yuan Tingchuan, the more he found that he had a strong sense of territory. No matter what the decision was, as long as he had the intention, he would mark out the territory and pile it up around him. As for whether he occupied the high ground or not, he would talk about it later.

Du Ruo ignored Yuan Tingchuan's rage and said to Li Anze, "The carving that Mr. Li asked me to do is finished. I was just about to ask someone to send it to him. Since you're here, you can take it home with you."

"You are still sick, it's not a urgent matter. Why are you rushing to do it?" There was disapproval in Li Anze's eyes.

Du Ruo couldn't say that she was already a skilled worker. She had just made this thing some time ago and it didn't take any effort at all.

"My legs and feet are not very convenient now, but my hands are still alive and well. I am almost growing hair from sitting still all day. I finally got the chance to move my fingers, but I couldn't resist the temptation."

Li Anze smiled. During the time they had been together, he had experienced Du Ruo's obsession with sculpture and knew that she was telling the truth. He smiled and said, "I am not here to pick up something today. I am here to give you something."

Du Ruo raised her eyebrows. Give something as a gift?

Li Anze said seriously: "Comrade Du Ruo, you have provided important clues for the protection of national cultural relics and saved a large number of cultural relics. On behalf of the county government, I would like to express my gratitude to you.

If you have any requests, you can tell us and we will try our best to cooperate. "

Du Ruo smiled: "This is what I should do. I have no other requests."

"Then please accept this letter of thanks. Come to me if you have any problems in the future. Come to my house when you are free. The old man is concerned about your injury. Call him often. I won't stay any longer. I will come to see you later." Li Anze looked at the two people sitting side by side on the sofa. A complex emotion flashed across his eyes, and then he returned to calmness.

Yuan Tingchuan reached out and pressed Du Ruo's shoulder, and said in a calm voice: "You are injured, sit still, I will take Secretary Li out."

Li Anze smiled and said, "Please sit down. I'll come back when I have time."

Du Ruo nodded and saw them off, watching them leave the room and slowly walk away along the corridor of the garden.

She reached out and picked up the letter on the table, opened it and read it. It was a standard letter of thanks, which was very consistent with Li Anze's character. He was meticulous and careful in his words and actions.

Du Ruo sighed in her heart. The two of them didn't get together in their previous life. It must be said that it was due to their personalities.

She was in a daze when the letter in her hand was snatched away. Yuan Tingchuan glanced at it carelessly and flicked the letter twice with his thin fingers: "Maybe it will be useful in the future. Keep it and don't lose it."

Du Ruo took a sip of tea from the cup and asked, "How's the investigation going?"

Yuan Tingchuan sat on the sofa, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrests: "You've met your old enemy. Who do you think is behind the pottery-making village you exposed?"

Du Ruo blinked: "Old enemy? Who is it?"

A hint of amusement flashed across the man's eyes: "Qu Xin."

Du Ruo was so surprised that she almost jumped up: "How can this be related to Qu Xin? The Qu Group is not short of money, right? Why is she doing this?"

Yuan Tingchuan stroked his chin with his fingers: "They were not short of money. Even though Qu Bin was a fool and Qu Xin had no brains, they could still survive for a few years. But that's because of you. You cheated them in the Jade Market and made them poor. You should think about the consequences."

Du Ruo was speechless: "No, have you forgotten that you were the one who intercepted the project that they were planning to make a comeback?" Why are you pretending to be a good person?

Yuan Tingchuan said innocently, "You were the first to attack."

Du Ruo just, haha.

Don’t think that the Qu family doesn’t know that Boss Yuan has always had bad intentions towards them. Who does he really think is a fool?

Yuan Tingchuan said gloatingly: "This time the Qu family is in big trouble. Even if we can escape in the end, we will be badly injured. We will either die or be seriously injured."

Du Ruo looked at him in a speechless state. Ever since the big boss showed his true colors in front of her, he had not pretended at all. He showed his greed for her without any concealment at all. He almost said directly that she was about to put the food in her bowl.

Having just finished eating at the Zhong family, he wanted to eat at the Qu family, and he was not afraid of being bullied.

As if he knew what Du Ruo was thinking, Yuan Tingchuan joked with a double entendre: "I have always had a big appetite. No matter what I eat, I want to eat to my heart's content. You will know later." The man's eyes were ambiguous, and he kept looking at Du Ruo. There was regret in his expression, as if he was sighing deeply for not being able to eat immediately.

Du Ruo's cheeks turned red, she spat at him, slowly stood up and walked away. Behind her, she heard a man's unbridled laughter. That was enough.

The next day, Du Ruo was watching two children playing games when he suddenly heard a quarrel coming from the front.

She slowly stood up holding the armrest of the sofa. The two children didn't know what was going on, so they ran to her, grabbed her clothes and looked up at her.

Du Ruo patted the two children's heads soothingly and looked outside the door.
