Chapter 176: Clues
The Qu Group finally came to an end. In the last investment and the recent financial storm, it was hit by the huge waves and was shattered and declared bankruptcy.
Its remaining market share was quickly swallowed up by the Yuan Group. Before others could react, the Yuan Group had already cleaned up the battlefield.
Yuan Tingchuan once again showed his Thunder Sword to his colleagues in the industry. It was sharp, swift and invincible. That's why he has been so busy recently.
Recently, things have come to an end, and even if the children don't mention it, he plans to slow down and spend more time with Du Ruo and the children.
The car drove along the winding road all the way to the suburbs. It was obvious that the relevant personnel of the kindergarten had carefully selected and investigated this place in advance. The scenery here was nice.
In the distance, there are undulating mountains and green trees. What is rare is that there is a stream. The water is very clear and not deep. When the breeze blows, the stream ripples and there are small fish swimming in it. With the blue sky and white clouds, green grass, and the sunlight shining through the clouds, it forms patches of mottled light and shadow on the grass. The scenery is really nice.
As soon as Ling Yun got out of the car, he led the two children to run like crazy. Du Ruo himself was not really an athletic person, Yuan Tingchuan was okay, but he was used to being "dignified", and he really couldn't jump around like Ling San.
The kindergarten teacher blew the whistle in her hand vigorously. The children heard the clear and loud whistle and obediently lined up in two teams in front of the teacher. The parents gathered in a circle and first organized the children to play games.
Ling Yun ran over to talk to the teacher. He wanted to play games together. The teacher politely asked him to wait a while. Ling Yun came back dejected and complained to Du Ruo: "I'm here to play with the kids. Why don't you take me with you when you play games?"
Du Ruo grabbed his shoulders and pushed him aside, telling him not to get in the way.
Han Zhe held Chen Bin with his left hand and Yuan Shurui with his right hand, and the three children carefully held the ball between their chests and walked forward. Everyone clapped and cheered.
Ling Yun kept walking around the two children, shouting "Come on!"
Du Ruo and Yuan Tingchuan looked at each other and smiled.
The two children won second place and were very happy. They held up the little red flowers they got to show their parents.
Yuan Tingchuan held both children in his arms, one on each side, and said to them, "Next time you run a race like this, you need to come up with a slogan and align your movements so that you can run faster. You need to think carefully before doing anything and not fight unprepared."
Du Ruo stretched out her hand and pinched his waist. Children are just happy playing games. Why do you need to teach them so much?
Yuan Tingchuan secretly glared at Du Ruo, and his meaning was very clear: if he didn't teach her when she was a child, when would he teach her?
Ling Yun looked as if he was bored.
The two children ignored their parents' glares and lay on Yuan Tingchuan's shoulders, discussing with Uncle Ling in a low voice how to dance faster when they were about to do the Gege dance.
Children have strong learning abilities. Although they could not fully understand what Yuan Tingchuan said, they started thinking immediately.
Han Zhe touched his forehead and said, "Rui Rui, let's work together. When I'm about to throw the pocket out, you should prepare to run. This way you can run faster."
Yuan Shurui said, "Xiaozhe, you need to throw it more accurately. If it falls on the ground and you have to pick it up, you will run to the back."
Han Zhe patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I can throw stones very accurately. One time, my grandma bullied my mom, and the stone I threw broke the glass in one go."
Han Zhe said this, raising his little chin proudly, and Du Ruo couldn't help but laugh.
Yuan Tingchuan looked at Du Ruo with amusement, as if to say, so there have been times when you have been bullied by others?
Ling Yun laughed loudly, he knew about Du Ruo's past troubles, and he also liked Han Zhe, the child who changed his fate and was accidentally left behind, very much, or he cherished him especially.
Everyone is each other's "variable", including Yuan Tingchuan.
At dinner time, Lingyun took her two children to have a barbecue with other children. The two workaholic and conscienceless parents walked slowly around the stream and chatted.
"I have contacted Mr. Charles, but he is not very willing to sell it. You know the uniqueness of the Yohen Tenmoku Braised Bowl. The only three pieces left in the world are in Country R. It is not available anywhere else. Moreover, it is very attractive for viewing. It is really dazzling. Now that he has acquired it, he has no intention of selling it. Besides, he is not short of money, which makes this matter even more difficult."
"It's hard but we have to do it! I must get my things back."
There was determination in Du Ruo's tone.
Yuan Tingchuan also knew her determination and said, "In a few days, when the old man's birthday comes, we will think about it when we return to Hong Kong. I do have some rare pieces at home. Let's see if Charles is interested in any of them."
Du Ruo shook his head and said, "No need for now. I know what's going on. You just said you're a little free recently. Why don't you accompany me to the antique street and take a good walk? Maybe you can get something. Even if you don't get much, I have other plans."
Yuan Tingchuan had already stopped walking, his thin lips tightly pursed, his eyes showing disapproval.
"Ruoruo, do you still want to be so clear with me today? I think there is no need to be so clear-cut between you and me."
Du Ruo smiled and said, "Didn't you say it? Public is public, private is private. There's nothing wrong with this. It's very troublesome to get entangled with each other."
Yuan Tingchuan gritted his teeth. Was he just shooting himself in the foot?
Du Ruo smiled and patted him on the arm.
"I'm just teasing you. I'll definitely ask you when I need it. The main thing is that I've already made up my mind about this matter, and I might need your help. Don't worry, you'll be busy."
Seeing that Yuan Tingchuan was still there, she knew that this man was stubborn again and he would not leave unless she explained things clearly to him.
Du Ruo said helplessly: "Don't worry about where I got the news from. The fact is that I know that there is a person who has been robbing the museum in Country Y for a long time.
He has a lot of treasures from museums and has been trading antiques privately. Country Y doesn't know about this. I want to buy his things through some channels. I think Mr. Charles will be willing to exchange his country's things for his own."
Yuan Tingchuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't know anything about this matter. Is it true? Is he so brave?
Du Ruo smiled and said nothing.
This incident was of course true, but it was not revealed until 20 years later. It shocked the whole world at the time. The man actually stole hundreds of antiques, which were never discovered.
It is said that there are too many things in the Y Country Museum, and many of them are piled up so tightly that it is impossible to count them.
