Before he could finish speaking, a thick stack of papers was thrown at his head!



Fifth Lin and Zhao Yulan are two idiots.

Chen Ke slammed his hand on the table.

The teacup on the table jumped up with a "bang".

The teacup and lid clicked together.

It fell back onto the table.

Unfortunately, the lid wasn't closed properly.

Chen Ke picked up the document again.

Let's look at the survey results once again.

The anger in his eyes was so intense it seemed he wanted to burn the report to the ground!

After calming herself down, Chen Ke said in a composed manner, "Xiao Zhang, go and call Wu Lin and Zhao Yulan over here!"

Zhang Jiye, who was waiting nearby, quickly stood at attention and replied, "Yes, sir!"

Chen Ke sat back on the sofa, relaxed her body, and leaned heavily against the sofa back.

His eyes were glazed over, staring at the chandelier on the ceiling.

It has ordinary materials and an ordinary shape, so if you put it next to another ordinary lamp, no one would be able to tell that it once stayed in the guesthouse.

Zhang Jiye gently knocked on the door: "Boss, the person has arrived."

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for Chen Ke to hear.

Chen Ke sat up again, and in an instant, he transformed back into that serious and imposing leader.

I took a sip of water, put the lid back on, and put the teacup down.

Only then did he speak: "Come in!"

Upon hearing the order, Zhang Jiye immediately opened the door and stepped aside to let the two people in.

Fifth Lin and Zhao Yulan looked at Zhang Jiye, but he was expressionless and they couldn't tell anything from him.

They glanced at each other again before nervously entering the room.

Chen Ke looked at the two of them.

His gaze was like a knife, tracing back and forth across the two people's faces inch by inch.

I carefully examined the two people, bit by bit.

They were both in their forties, but because they hadn't suffered much hardship and took good care of themselves, they looked like they were only in their early thirties.

Yes, I haven't suffered much hardship.

Therefore, they were easily outmaneuvered.

After watching for a while, Chen Ke closed her eyes and began to rest.

Fifth Lin and Zhao Yulan were so frightened by Chen Ke's gaze that they dared not move at first.

Later, Chen Ke finally closed her eyes, which gave them a little time to catch their breath.

The two of them turned their gaze to Secretary Zhang, who was standing next to them.

Secretary Zhang kept his head down, looking down at his nose, seemingly lost in thought.

It was as if I didn't exist.

The two of them nervously held their breath.

I still don't understand why I was called here.

After a long while, Chen Ke finally opened her eyes and looked once again at the two people standing obediently in front of her.

After watching for a while, a smirk crept onto his lips.

Finally speaking, he asked, "Tell me, what exactly happened when the fifth strongest was born?"

Both of them relaxed the moment they heard the question.

Thank goodness, they were asking about Qiangzi's birth, not his current situation.

but……

Fifth Lin looked puzzled, but mustered his courage and asked reluctantly, "Mom, why did you suddenly ask about when Qiangzi was born?"

Chen Ke once again focused her attention on her son.

Impatient tone: "Speak!"

Fifth Lin stood still obediently.

After gathering his thoughts, he finally spoke.

"When Qiangzi was born, nothing was wrong. We just went to Lu City. Yulan was about to give birth, so we went to the hospital. Then, something happened, and only Qiangzi survived."

Hearing this, Zhao Yulan, who was standing nearby, was overcome with grief.

She lowered her head and began to wipe away her tears.

Upon hearing this answer, Chen Ke was not saddened at all; instead, a knot appeared in her brow, and she frowned immediately upon hearing the reply.

"Why did we have to go to Lushi? Yulan was about to give birth at the time. Why did we have to go all the way from the island to Lushi? Why did we have to go?"

Upon hearing this, Fifth Lin lowered his head and wiped his face hard with his hand.

Then he spoke: "At that time, Yulan's grandfather was dying, and a telegram came from our hometown asking Yulan to go back."

Chen Ke snorted coldly: "I remember that my in-laws' grandfather is still alive and well."

Zhao Yulan added softly, "Things weren't going well back then. He'd already become confused twice. People said if it happened again, he was beyond saving!"

Chen Ke looked at Zhao Yulan.

His eyes held a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Tell me, how did you give birth prematurely?"

Fifth Lin picked up the conversation and answered in a low voice, "It's not exactly early, it's less than a month earlier than the due date. The doctor said at the time that most twins are due early!"

Disappointment flashed in Chen Ke's eyes.

He put it away again and continued to ask questions.

"She gave birth prematurely for no apparent reason?"

"Yes, for no reason at all, it's just the right time!"

Chen Ke closed her eyes, feeling exhausted.

Finally, he spoke: "Speak, tell me everything from beginning to end, starting from when you received the telegram from Lu City, including how you were born prematurely, how you met Ah Xiang, how you gave birth, how you came back, and why Ah Xiang came to our house. Tell me everything in detail!"

Both Wu Lin and Zhao Yulan turned pale upon hearing this.

My heart is pounding like a drum.

Fifth Lin forced a smile: "Mom, no, what's there to say? It's been so many years!"

Chen Ke looked at her son.

A look of confusion flashed in his eyes.

How could you do this to your own son, the son of yourself and Fifth Lord?

Fortunately, his two grandsons are doing well.

Chen Ke suppressed her last trace of tenderness, her voice filled with oppressive force, and said, enunciating each word clearly: "I...make...you...speak!"

Fifth Lin was stunned by this sentence.

Hesitantly, she said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you. Mom, don't be angry, you'll hurt yourself if you get angry."
