Chapter 78 I thought I was friends with her
Chi Wan slowly told his parents what he had asked Zhou Huaian to investigate.
The more Chi Yuanshan and Song Yinghe listened, the more frightened they became!
They had long known that their daughter was very opinionated, but they had never expected that she had secretly done much more than they thought!
Chi Yuanshan said with a look of fear: "Wanwan, you...if you do something dangerous in the future, can you tell our parents in advance? Otherwise, sooner or later we will be scared to death by you."
Song Yinghe also gently tapped Chi Wan's forehead: "Yes, Wanwan, you dare to secretly investigate a family like the He family, what if..."
Chi Wan smiled and hugged Song Yinghe's arm: "It's okay, Mom and Dad, I know what's going on. I didn't jump out to check on them, I asked Brother Huai'an to check, he is not afraid of the He family. Besides, we have to know who is secretly looking at our family unhappy, right?"
Chi Yuanshan didn't know what to say.
"Hey, every time I feel useless, I think about how I still have such a wonderful daughter, and I feel like there is still hope for life to go on..."
Hearing Chi Yuanshan's words, Song Yinghe and Chi Wan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Song Yinghe said with a straight face: "It's not too useless to realize this. Look at Wanwan. If you don't work harder, you will really have to rely on your daughter in the future."
Chi Yuanshan didn't learn anything else these days, but his mentality has adjusted better than before: "What's wrong with relying on my daughter? It means we are blessed to be able to rely on our daughter! But Wanwan, you still have to tell mom and dad about these things in the future.
"Although Dad can't help much now, at least he knows what you have done. And I haven't been doing nothing during this period. I went to the next village and found a few barren mountains there. I negotiated with them and planned to buy them."
Chi Wan was stunned: "Are they willing to sell it?"
Chi Yuanshan smiled and said, "Why not? This mountain used to be a fir forest, and they cut the wood and processed it to supply the building materials factory. But when we cleaned it up before, we found that they didn't have a logging permit at all. The villagers didn't care about that, they just knew that they had to cut the wood to sell it.
"Anyway, after a lot of wrangling, the wood was cut down and the price was agreed upon. But there were still a lot of things to deal with afterwards. Without a permit, the cut trees would be confiscated, which made the village chief very anxious.
"Later, the villagers were no longer willing to plant trees, and the young people all went out to work. No one cared about the mountain, so it gradually became barren. The village chief was eager for me to buy it, after all, I promised to help him deal with the remaining fines."
Chi Wan didn't expect such a good thing to happen.
After all, with Li Xingye here, no matter how many hills there are, they may not be enough for him to plant crops. Maybe his parents can really create a new world by planting fruit trees?
Moreover, if Song Yangming's matter was really as she guessed, then the He family might be in big trouble.

While Chi Wan and his family of three were chatting and laughing and planning for the future, a targeted rescue operation was being carried out in full swing.
Based on some clues provided by Chi Wan, the police followed the clues of Song Yangming's disappearance and finally found a secret human trafficking chain leading abroad.
Some people were gritting their teeth in hatred in secret, while others were suffering in the manor.
Others sensed the crisis early on and tried to get out of it safely.
Zhou Huaian, who had just sent the police away, looked at the person who had been sitting in the chair in silence since a while ago, slowly made a pot of tea, and gently blew away the mist at the rim of the cup.
His face looked a little unreal behind the mist. "So, you rushed here just to tell me this?"
"Brother, you found out that it was the He family that caused Wanwan's family to go bankrupt, why didn't you tell me?"
Zhou Huaijin was busy going out for an investigation with Professor Zhang these days. When he came back, he found out that Chi Wan had done so many "big things" without saying a word.
But the most sour thing in his heart was probably - he and Chi Wan had a closer relationship, so why didn't Chi Wan tell him these things, and instead entrusted everything to his cousin.
Zhou Huaian took a sip of tea and said with some amusement: "What am I telling you? You are a researcher, there is no need for you to get involved in this. Besides, do you understand what you are getting involved in?"
Seeing Zhou Huaijin lowering his eyes and not speaking, Zhou Huaian couldn't help but sigh softly.
In this generation of the Zhou family, there are only two brothers, him and Zhou Huaijin.
Zhou's ancestors were wealthy businessmen. Later, they seized the opportunity and made a fortune in real estate, becoming the most famous family at the time.
But after all, his foundation was not enough, and Zhou Huaian's parents were framed by competitors and died in a plane crash. Zhou Huaian, who was still young at the time, was only thinking about revenge. After he finally got his revenge, he completely lost interest in the intrigue-filled business world.
In addition, Zhou Huaijin's father learned his lesson and chose to go into politics in order to better protect his family. In order to avoid suspicion, Zhou Huaian simply split the business and only kept the core part.
Then I opened a small shop and just made some investments, and my life became more comfortable than before.
Zhou Huaijin was eight years younger than him. The Zhou family, having learned their lesson, protected him very well and allowed him to choose a major based on his academic interests. Therefore, Zhou Huaijin inevitably had some of the naive temperament of a scholar.
Zhou Huaian poured a cup of tea for Zhou Huaijin: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy that Wanwan asked me for help?"
Zhou Huaijin took the teacup and shook his head silently: "Not really. I thought...she and I could be considered friends."
Although the two had known each other for a short time, they had experienced being hit by a scam together and had also worked together to cheat the village chief. He had seen Chi Wan's tenacity and intelligence in the face of those so-called "family members", and they had also gotten tipsy together in front of the charcoal fire under a tree.
Zhou Huaijin knew in his heart that Zhou Huaian was indeed more useful than him in investigating the He family.
But... I always feel something is wrong.
Zhou Huaian stood up and patted his shoulder: "You are just too introverted. What's the point of saying all this to me? But the He family's affairs may not end so easily... He Lingfeng is a man who acts recklessly to put it nicely and lawless to put it bluntly.
"Before, He Yunzhen and the family had been restraining us, but it's hard to say what will happen next. I wanted to remind Wanwan, but it's just in time for you to come back, so go find her yourself. By the way, this is for you."
Zhou Huaian took out a document and handed it to Zhou Huaijin: "I was curious when I knew that the He family was targeting the Chi family. If it was just for Song Yangming, they wouldn't have put so much thought into doing such a cruel thing.
"As a result, I found out that He Lingfeng and Wanwan had already had some contact before... The previous incident was not just to target Song Yangming."
After Zhou Huaijin took the information and looked through it, his brows furrowed more and more tightly: "Is He Lingfeng a lunatic?! Is he going to ruin Wanwan's business just for this reason?!"
