Yang He looked on and couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm not trying to be rude, but your Qin family isn't exactly known for its refined manners. Your genes are all about fighting and wielding weapons. How could you possibly produce such a beautiful and delicate girl?"
Qin Qinghuai kicked him directly.
"Get lost! Is it wrong for my wife to have good genes?"
"Okay, okay, okay, okay,"
Yang He laughed as he backed away, begging for mercy.
"You're right, your wife is good, your wife is good in every way, okay?"
"That's true, what do you know, you're a nearly forty-year-old bachelor?"
"Exactly. You're in your forties and still single, and you still have the nerve to say that? Other people's kids are great, but when they're enjoying family life, I bet you'll just be watching with envy."
One blow from his buddy, followed immediately by a second blow from his grandfather, and Yang He was completely numb.
"No, you guys, do you have to be so harsh on me? It's just about finding a partner and having kids, right? Yes, your wife is amazing, and your kids are cute, but it's like you're the only one who can do that!"
"Hmph, I didn't know you still had that ability? After more than thirty years, it must have deteriorated long ago."
Old Master Yang was probably used to being sarcastic, and Yang He wasn't going to be outdone, getting a little agitated.
"Is this what your own grandfather would say? Alright, alright, it's just a wife and children, right? You wait, I'll find them for you right now."
"Huh? Huh?"
Qin Qinghuai got up but didn't stop the man. He walked out the door while they were talking, leaving Qin Qinghuai bewildered.
"Grandpa Yang, what's wrong with Fourth Brother?"
Were you provoked by their few words?
This isn't like him at all!
"snort!"
The old man seemed to know everything, and then sighed deeply.
"Otherwise, why would I be in such a hurry to find you?"
"Hezi, she found a boyfriend on her own, but she didn't tell us for so long because she was afraid of burdening him and causing trouble for her family. I only found out by chance. You know, he's already in his thirties. We can't help him, but we can't hold him back either. Are we really going to let him stay single for the rest of his life?"
"Oh, I see. I knew it. With your connections over the years, you couldn't possibly not be able to protect them."
So, you were thinking that I should arrange things for them, and then you would deal with them all by yourself?
Did you already have the will to die back then?
Is that what you always think?
"......"
The old man remained noncommittal, but his energy and spirit instantly diminished by more than half.
"They are still young, they are all children, they still have half a lifetime ahead of them!"
At this point, Jian Dan had to speak up, even though it was a little awkward.
"But, Grandpa Yang, you should be able to see that you are also implicated by me. They are eyeing the Su family's property. At least on the surface, this matter is inseparable from the Su family."
The old man waved his hand.
"It may indeed be related to what you said, but their disdain for me didn't just start recently. I know in my heart that this incident is just an excuse, a pretext for them to completely destroy me."
As for the Su family you mentioned, if it really is because of the Su family, then I have even less to say.
I won't lie to you, I grew up in this capital city since I was a child. Even during the wars and chaos of those years, I never left. My family has truly received a great deal of kindness from the Su family; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they saved our lives. As for whether we were implicated or not, it's really hard to say.
This was something Jian Dan truly hadn't expected. She knew the Su family had a big reputation, but she hadn't realized it was this big.
"Grandpa Yang, is the Su family you know the same one I'm talking about?"
The old man choked for a moment.
"There are quite a few people with the surname Su, but we are definitely talking about one person, someone my age, who knows this clearly. Those who are younger only heard about it from their elders and don't have such a deep understanding."
Ah, I was just a kid back then, and now my grandson is almost forty.
It's easy to unconsciously smile, so you can't get over the "forty" joke, right?
Qin Qinghuai also had a slight smile on his face.
"Grandpa Yang, what you're saying is really unfair to Fourth Brother. He's a young man who's not even married yet, and he's already middle-aged."
The old man thought about it and realized it made sense, so he smiled to himself.
"Tell me, can you blame me? His parents are so anxious! I think we parents are pretty open-minded, but his parents... it was all arranged by us, the old couple, so why are they so upset?"
The old man thought for a moment and came up with a suitable word.
"democracy,"
"Grandpa Yang, you are a role model of the new era! You even know about democracy!"
"Hmph! You really think I'm old and my thinking is outdated? Let me tell you, I keep up with the times, my ideas are not backward at all,"
"Yes, yes, you are the most enlightened old man."
By the time Yang He finally settled down and brought the person back, Qin Qinghuai and Jian Dan had already boarded the train home with the child. Jian Liye and Cheng Chao still had to investigate the follow-up, so they did not leave together.
As the train roared away from the platform, a cloud of smoke rose from the west of the city, making it easy to imagine the chaos and noise at the scene. Seeing this, Jian Dan's expression brightened considerably.
Qin Qinghuai also turned his gaze away.
"Is this a backup plan you left behind?"
He simply curved the corners of his mouth into a smile.
"It's not really a backup plan, just a small act of revenge. Who told them to set their sights on us?"
I just didn't expect them to be so careless; it's been several days before they thought to check those things.
Qin Qinghuai felt some sympathy.
"Is it possible that they're not being careless, but rather that they have many informants around these days, and people are watching them everywhere. The investigations are very strict, and they don't want to arouse suspicion, so they have no choice but to refrain from going?"
This is simple, so I don't care; I'm even a little gloating.
"No wonder they stopped searching after two days. It turns out they didn't find anything at all? They just thought that things were missing from each household, and they were confident that they still had these things, so they didn't care that much, right?"
Now let's see what they have left to be so smug about.
She was right; the mountain where the treasure was hidden was indeed bustling with activity.
The incident did indeed originate from a minor leader who received orders from above to conduct a routine inspection. Some people have the guts to do bad things, but they are also suspicious. After several days of chaos in the city, they were also feeling uneasy. So, taking advantage of the fact that the people keeping watch had all left, they quickly sent someone over to check things out.
As soon as they went inside, it exploded.
This matter couldn't be made public. The people who went up the mountain had come secretly, and this explosion caused quite a stir. Not only did people from the surrounding area rush over to join the fun, but those who had just retreated to keep watch, the various henchmen, and even Chen Hongjun were startled. He was very anxious and couldn't calm down even after sitting in the office for half a day. Instead, his worries grew heavier and heavier, and he had a feeling that something terrible had happened. In the end, he called a car to go and see for himself.
