"Brother, where are you? I couldn't find you at your house. Tell me your location quickly. You saved my life, so I have to show my appreciation."
It was natural for Qiao Shan to call. He should have come over that day, so why did he contact Yu Shengnan today?
It turned out that the blind date that his family had arranged for him on the second day of the Chinese New Year had gone to another province to meet someone. When his father Qiao Lei had an accident, his family had no idea about it. They only notified his family after he had been in the hospital for a day. Only then did Qiao Shan get the news and rush back.
When Qiao Shan came to visit, Yu Shengnan had to treat him well. This childhood friend had helped him fight many times when they were young. At that time, Yu Shengnan was thin and easy to be bullied. Practicing only made up for his congenital weakness, and fighting was useless. When others bullied Yu Shengnan, it was Qiao Shan who helped fight back. At that time, Qiao Shan regarded himself as Yu Shengnan's elder brother.
But now, all the talk on the phone is about Brother Shengnan's good and bad, and how his sister-in-law is doing. It can be said that things change and time has smoothed out the edges.
Of course, the relationship between the two is real, otherwise Qiao Shan would not have said that even though his father's life was saved, he and Yu Shengnan were still so casual. After all, the two of them had a life-and-death friendship when they were young.
"You just came, why do you bring so many things?" Yu Shengnan complained to Qiao Shan. Qiao Shan didn't care. Instead, he turned around and shouted, "There's more behind."
Half a sheep, two chickens, a pork leg, a box of apples, a box of oranges, and a box of white wine.
"Don't blame me. I didn't want to take it either. Those were all asked by my parents. I only took this box of Lao Baigan." Qiao Shan explained after moving all the things into the house.
Yu Shengnan didn't say anything else and was busy introducing He Xinran and Ni Yunjiao to him.
When Qiao Shan heard that Yu Shengnan and He Xinran had obtained their marriage certificate and their baby was two months old, he congratulated them with a smile on his face. But when Yu Shengnan introduced Ni Yunjiao as his girlfriend, Qiao Shan's face turned awkward.
"Did the blood of the Prime Minister of the Three Kingdoms come back to you? You have quite the style of that thief Cao... uh, Cao Chengxiang", he said this, but he was already cursing in his heart.
"Be normal in your heart and don't be mentally twisted." Yu Shengnan knew what this guy was thinking just by looking at his expression.
"By the way, how are you doing at that factory? Can you get a girl?"
Qiao Shan had said before that he didn't want to work as a screwdriver in the factory anymore because the pay was low and he often worked night shifts, which was bad for his health. The reason he still insisted was that he wanted to find a girlfriend in the factory.
"Forget it, it's not easy. The young ones are just playing around. The women of my age who work in the factory are already mothers. Forget it, I'll go back after the New Year and see if I can do something else."
"Let's talk later. It's the New Year for us brothers, let's have a couple of drinks," said Yu Shengnan and went into the kitchen.
Of course, you need some snacks to go with the wine. As for the ingredients, they are all ready. There are some vegetables at home, and the meat and chicken that Qiao Shan brought are just the right combination of meat and vegetables, which is very economical.
Seeing that he was busy, Qiao Shan felt embarrassed to sit in the living room with his two sisters-in-law, so he hurried in to help.
"Hey, Shanzi, how did Uncle Lei fall into the water? I pulled them out and they were sent to the hospital. I didn't have time to ask."
"Put the chicken and the braised pork in the pot first. I'll video chat with him later and you can ask him yourself," Qiao Shan gave the answer without thinking.
After packing up, the two returned to the living room, and Qiao Shan made a video call to his father.
Qiao Lei is already recuperating at home. He doesn't have any serious health problems, he just caught a cold from the cold. He needs to stay at home and recuperate for a few days.
"Uncle Lei, are you feeling better? Take care of yourself. I'm here to wish you a happy new year. I have a question for you. When you fell into the water, how did you all end up in the same place? Did you all know each other?"
"Oh, about this..." Qiao Lei hesitated and then said it.
"Xiaonan, listen to me, don't tell anyone else. I told others before that I was fishing with Mr. Li. We were drilling a hole in the ice to catch a fish, and I caught a big one and fell in. There were several people fishing there at the time, so we were all gathered together, so we fell in together. But the truth is that we were all accompanying Mr. Li to kill fish."
"Killing fish?"
"Uh, yes. Last summer, Mr. Li had an illegitimate son who was fishing in this reservoir with his classmates. They caught a giant black carp weighing over 100 kilograms. They even took a photo and posted it on WeChat Moments. Unfortunately, the fish suddenly went berserk while being transported on the boat and nearly hit the boat. The fish then escaped, taking Mr. Li's illegitimate son with it. And just like that, his only son died."
Big black carp? Yu Shengnan immediately thought of the giant fish in the water. He didn't see it clearly at the time, so he thought it was probably this big black carp.
Qiao Lei said that among the people who came this time, except for him and another colleague Yang Wei who were fishing enthusiasts, the remaining three were veterans, plus General Manager Li himself, and the woman who could not be rescued was General Manager Li's mistress, and the mother of his previous illegitimate child.
Yu Shengnan originally just wanted to know whether they saw the big guy underwater, but she didn't expect to get a big surprise.
Qiao Lei works in a state-owned enterprise, and it is a very powerful state-owned enterprise in the country. The president of their head office is a provincial and ministerial level leader.
Although Uncle Lei didn't mention Mr. Li's rank, the Xidayang Reservoir is one of the largest reservoirs in northern Hebei. It is not open to the public at all, and the water conservancy and their company are completely two different systems. To allow an illegitimate son to go out on a boat to fish in the reservoir, there is no doubt that either Mr. Li's rank is high enough or his relatives and connections are very powerful.
As for mistresses and illegitimate children, are they rare in modern society? Only if a wealthy and powerful leader loves only his wife would that make the news, right?
But Yu Shengnan didn’t understand one thing. If his guess was true, and the big black carp was the giant one, then that guy was too smart, right?
He also remembered that the ice layer was very solid before he went down, but it was like brittle ice chips when he came up. If it was really done by that guy, it would be terrible.
It must evenly distribute force and calculate the attack force at each node, causing the ice to crack internally without visible damage on the surface. It also employs geometric matrix patterns to create continuous, chain-like collapses. Even a math graduate student would struggle to achieve this level of skill.
It won't break unless it's touched, but it breaks into pieces once it's touched. Once it breaks, large pieces break one after another. The more Yu Shengnan thought about it, the more scared she became. Could that guy have become a spirit?
Didn’t they say that spirits would not be formed after the founding of the People’s Republic of China?
This damn fish really scared Yu Shengnan, who has always been an atheist.
"Shengnan, you're not drunk, are you? Why are you in a daze? Hurry up and finish the glass in your hand," Qiao Shan urged.
