Chapter 298 This is a gift
Siming smiled and nodded: "I know, you have to get along well with small animals. After Dad finishes the things on hand in a few days, I will take you out to play."
"Shall we go out and play?" Juanjuan threw the small picture album in her hand and came close to him.
Si Jinchen put away the small album and said, "Dad, where are you taking us?"
"Let's go see Grandpa Wen and take you out to play." Si Ming reached out and hugged the two children in his arms.
"Okay! We can go out and play now!" Juanjuan clapped her hands happily.
At night, the two children wanted to sleep with him. After coaxing them to sleep, he tiptoed to the study.
Si Tian and Miao Jiu changed into pajamas and sat on the sofa waiting for him, feeling a little bored.
"Brother, are Juanjuan and Achen asleep?" Si Tian asked with a smile when he saw him coming.
"Sleep, who did you meet today?" Siming sat opposite them and looked at him.
Si Tian took out an envelope and handed it to him: "Meng Yanxin."
"Is this something she gave you?" Si Ming reached out to take the envelope he handed over, took out the contents and checked them.
Miao Jiu leaned lazily on the sofa: "Why did she ask you to do that? Is she interested in you?"
Si Tian rolled his eyes at him: "No, she does want to find you two, but she needs you to have time."
"Did she give this to you on her own initiative?" Siming read everything in the envelope.
"Yeah. I don't know where she got the information." Si Tian said casually.
Miao Jiu took the item Siming handed him and flipped through it with his slender fingers: "Tsk tsk tsk, does this count as sacrificing one's own family for the sake of justice?"
"She's revealed all the secrets of the Meng family to us!"
Si Tian looked at the two of them and said, "This is a gift."
"A gift?" Siming raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You dare to accept such a big gift." Miao Jiu threw the thing on the coffee table in front of him.
"Of course I have a request, but I didn't agree to it, so I came back to ask you." Si Tian looked at the two of them.
"Tell me." Siming crossed his legs and placed his fingers on his legs.
"She wants us to protect her mother." Si Tian said and looked at the two of them: "You know, I'm good at business, but I can't protect people."
"You really know how to take on tasks for us." Miao Jiu sneered.
"Brother-in-law, don't say that." Si Tian pointed to the things on the coffee table: "This is a gift from her. I haven't told her how much she'll be paid."
"That depends on what kind of reward she offers." Miao Jiu sat up straighter.
"She said that in the future, she can find out any information we want to know for us." Si Tian looked at the two of them and told them about Meng Yanxin's reward.
"Do we still need news about her?" Miao Jiu rolled his eyes.
Siming had other ideas: "A Tian, what do you think?"
"Our every move in Beiyang City can easily be noticed by others. It's not a bad thing to have someone helping us secretly." Si Tian looked at the two of them.
"This reminds me of something." Siming remembered the candy wrapper that Adjutant Qi had received before.
There was also the Hu family's Western medicine. Hu Yongli knew that there was opium in the box, but he still sent the medicine box containing opium.
He had previously suspected that it was Mrs. Hu, but how did Mrs. Hu get the news?
"Brother, you said it was candy wrappers?" Si Tian immediately knew what he was talking about.
"What candy wrapper? What are you two brothers playing at guessing?" Miao Jiu looked at the two of them with an unhappy face.
Si Tian recounted what happened before he came back.
"So you suspect that this person is Meng Yanxin?" Miao Jiu did not doubt it.
Meng Yanxin is Si Ning's good friend. It's true that she is very brave, otherwise she wouldn't be able to be a reporter.
But this person is not stupid. The fact that she was able to get out of the marriage between the Lu and Meng families shows that she is not simple.
On the surface, everyone thought Meng Yanxin was stupid for being abandoned by the Meng family, but in fact, it was all planned step by step by her to escape from the Meng family's big dye vat.
"If we want to be well-informed, the only ones besides us are reporters. Their sense of smell and sensitivity are sharper than a dog's nose." Siming said calmly.
"I'll find a chance to test it out." Si Tian looked at a stack of photos on the table.
"Leave this matter to our eldest sister. She is more suitable than us." Siming looked at him and smiled.
Miao Jiu picked up the photos and flipped through them. "But with these things, it will be much easier to get the Meng family's shoe and hat factory."
"Thank you for your hard work, brother-in-law." Si Tian looked at him with a smile.
"Okay, all the hard work will be mine." Miao Jiu raised his foot and kicked Si Tian's calf.
Si Tian nimbly avoided it, stood up and sat next to Siming opposite him.
"Brother-in-law, since we have accepted the gift, please also take care of her mother's safety." Siming smiled faintly.
"You call me brother-in-law when you need me?" Miao Jiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the two brothers.
"Don't bother two people for the same task. My soldiers are not as effective as my brother-in-law's." The smile on Siming's face seemed to be asking for a beating.
Miao Jiu's face was a little unhappy: "I think the soldiers under your command are quite useful."
"He is too rigid and inflexible. I'm afraid he can't handle this job." Siming was telling the truth.
It is not a problem for the soldiers under his command to march and fight, but it is not appropriate to ask them to protect people secretly.
Miao Jiu actually knew that these things were done in secret, and the guys under him were very slippery and suitable for doing this.
But there is also a problem, that is, they are too slippery, and sometimes I am afraid that they are too loose.
"I can only say that I will try my best. If her mother commits suicide, I will not be responsible if something happens." Miao Jiu said the ugly words in advance.
"I know." Siming nodded with a smile.
Meng Yanxin's mother is not like her personality. She is relatively traditional. No matter what the reason was for her coming to the Meng family.
But once she entered the Meng family and became Mr. Meng's person, she was completely devoted to him and took her husband's life to the extreme.
She was just too submissive and never disobeyed Madam Meng or Master Meng. Instead, her family treated her and her as invisible people.
She even instilled such thoughts into Meng Yanxin since she was a child, and she didn't know if it was because she said it too much that she developed a rebellious mentality.
Meng Yanxin just went against her, which made Mr. and Mrs. Meng very angry.
This time, the two of them were expelled from the Meng family, and her mother still blamed her and never gave her a good face.
After talking so much, she simply didn't want to go back to the rented house. She hired a servant for her mother to take care of her daily life, and she lived in the small storage room in the newspaper office.
Miao Jiu looked at the two of them and said, "Then I'll start with the Meng family?"
"Now that we have the leverage over the Meng family, I don't think these people in the Meng family will have any unpleasantness with you just for a factory." Siming looked at him with a smile.
"I am the evil one who stole the things, and you are the good one, Si Ming." Miao Jiu rolled his eyes at him, stood up, picked up the things on the table and left the study directly.
