Ma Yunfei's heart pounded. Could it be that Gu Le really intended for him to kill the deputy mayor?
This put him in a difficult position.
"Godfather, thank you. Now I have no regrets. Tomorrow, I will face death without hesitation."
After Ma Yunfei finished speaking, he bowed to Gu Le and then turned and left.
Gu Le grabbed Ma Yunfei and laughed heartily, looking up at him.
"Godfather, what are you laughing at? Do you think I'm afraid of death? Godfather, I'll show you that I'm a grateful person. Tomorrow, if I don't kill the deputy mayor, I swear I'm not a man!"
Gu Le patted Ma Yunfei on the shoulder heavily and said with satisfaction, "Godson, you really are my son."
This was the first time Gu Le had referred to Ma Yunfei as his son.
“Godson, I can’t bear to let you die. Just now, I just wanted to test you, and you passed my test.”
"Godfather, don't you want to kill the deputy mayor?"
"Hehe... I'm not stupid. If I let you kill the deputy mayor, even if you commit suicide, the county will suspect me. Think about it, you are my godson. Everyone in the town knows this. Everyone will suspect that I must have instigated you to kill the deputy mayor."
"Godfather, suspicion is suspicion, but suspicion is not the same as fact. As long as you don't admit it, no one can do anything to you."
"Heh... They really can't do anything to me, at least they can't convict me, but I'll lose my official position."
"Godfather, are you really going to swallow this insult?"
“Godson, who am I? I’m the kind of person who always seeks revenge. The deputy mayor stabbed me in the back, so of course I have to retaliate. However, I would never commit murder.”
Ma Yunfei's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. Just now, he had only taken a gamble, and he had actually won.
Now, Mayor Gu Le has officially taken him in as his godson.
"Godfather, even if you don't kill the deputy mayor, you can't let him off easily. Otherwise, I'll find a way to get someone to beat him up?"
"Hehe... my godson, no matter what kind of revenge you take, you can't show your face, because you're too big a target."
Clearly, Mayor Gu Le has arranged for others to retaliate against the deputy mayor.
Ma Yunfei felt a little guilty. He was the one who made the report, but now the deputy mayor was being suspected.
Ma Yunfei thought again: This deputy mayor is not wronged. I heard that he is not a good person either.
"Godson, you just need to understand this matter in your heart. Don't take any action on your own. I have my own arrangements."
"Godfather, the deputy mayor framed you, how can I stand idly by?"
"Godson, when I need you, I will naturally send you to the front. Just wait."
Gu Le stretched wearily and said, "It's getting late, I'm going to sleep. You should go home early too, and remember to be careful on the road."
Gu Le has started to show concern for Ma Yunfei, which is a good sign.
Unexpectedly, Ma Yunfei's complaint against Gu Le led Gu Le to recognize him as his godson, and their relationship progressed further.
Ma Yunfei flew out of the study.
Liu Fei pulled Ma Yunfei into the yard and asked, "Son, what did your godfather say?"
"Mom, someone has complained about Godfather. I'm very angry and I'm going to get revenge for him, but Godfather won't let me get involved."
“Son, your godfather did the right thing. Now you are our godson. This matter has spread like wildfire. If you step forward to avenge your godfather, wouldn’t that be the same as your godfather doing it himself?”
"Mom, I'm angry. My godfather is in trouble, and I can't just stand by and do nothing!"
“Son, calm down. I heard from your godfather that the other party didn’t find anything wrong with him, and the county won’t do anything to your godfather.”
"That's good, Mom. But you still need to remind Godfather to be careful. When I came here just now, I saw a thin man loitering around here. I suspect he's a bad guy."
"Oh, you mean a skinny man? He's not a bad person. He's a janitor at the town government and a distant relative of your godfather. He just came to deliver some things."
"Oh, so he's a distant relative of my godfather. My heart was pounding; I thought he was a bad guy."
Ma Yunfei rode his motorcycle back to Majiawan.
Chen Yuyan was still awake, sitting and knitting.
"Honey, what does the mayor want with you?"
"Hehe... The town mayor wanted to make a move on the young widow at the People's Restaurant, but someone reported him to the county. The county magistrate talked to the town mayor and told him to be careful about the impact."
"Ah! Who has the audacity to report the town mayor? If the mayor finds out, he'll be in big trouble."
“Honey, the person who reported the mayor is very well hidden. The mayor can only guess, and cannot yet determine who the reporter is.”
Chen Yuyan said worriedly, "If the town mayor is dismissed, our yam sales station probably won't last long either. What will we do then?"
“Wife, the mayor won’t be dismissed anytime soon. As long as we work for a year and earn our first pot of gold, we’ll have the capital to do other things. There are countless ways to make money in the world, not just buying and selling yams.”
"Honey, our yam acquisition is going very smoothly now. It might not be so easy to switch to another business now."
"Honey, your husband has a good head for business. In my mind, there are plenty of ways to make money. To be honest, what we're doing now, buying and selling yams, seems like it'll make a lot of money, but actually it's all small change. I don't care about it."
Chen Yuyan was startled and stammered, "Honey, you earn tens of thousands of yuan at a time, is that still small change? You...you're too greedy."
"Honey, it's not that I'm greedy. Actually, we can make tens of thousands of yuan a time by reselling yams now. If we do that 30 years from now, it will be a piece of cake."
"Thirty years from now? We'll be old in thirty years, who knows what it will be like then. Honey, why are you thinking about thirty years from now?"
"Hehe... I was just saying. What I meant was: in thirty years, maybe tens of thousands of yuan won't be much."
The two got into bed and talked for a while.
Chen Yuyan suggested, "Honey, to be honest, the money you earned today is all thanks to your brother Erlv. I think we should invite Erlv over for a meal sometime to express our gratitude."
“Wife, we’re both so busy, we don’t have time to entertain Erlv. I think we should treat Erlv to lunch at the Baixing Restaurant tomorrow. Erlv has his eye on the young widow at the Baixing Restaurant for a long time. Treating him to lunch there would be the thing that would please him the most.”
"Honey, Erlv is no good. Don't learn from him."
"Hehe... Wife, you can rest assured, Erlv and I are on completely different paths."
Chen Yuyan sighed and said, "The abbot is still the most reliable. This brother is worth befriending."
