Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Thinking about all this, Xiao Dang couldn't sit still any longer, so she turned off the computer and went to the main house.

Bang~

The door slammed heavily against the wall, and Huaihua, who had just lain down to rest for a while, sat up with a start.

"Where could that man have gone? You don't have a single clue?"

"No, there really isn't. If there were, I would have gone to find him by now."

"Ha, you're really something."

Xiao Dang couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark, then looked at his mother and said, "Mom, how about... I go find Uncle Yang and ask him for help?"

If you ask Yang Jianguo for help, you'll definitely be able to find that missing bastard.

Given Uncle Yang's power and status, even if he hid in a rat hole, he could still be dug out.

Once that man is found, Xiao Dang's problem will be easily solved.

"Never mind, I'll go!"

Qin Huairu originally didn't want to bother her master, but there was really no way to get this done without asking him.

Even if you report it to the police, you can only wait for news indefinitely.

Those creditors outside don't have the patience to wait any longer. If they don't do something soon, they won't be able to stop the next time the creditors come knocking.

"Is your wife home?"

Qin Huairu didn't hear a response after entering the courtyard, but the gate was ajar, so the person should be inside.

So, I pushed open the door and went into the yard, and finally heard some noise as I walked all the way to the bookstore next door.

"Be careful when drying them, especially those rare books, don't shake them apart... Also, take out the books that were repaired last time to air them out, the sun is just the right temperature today."

Today, the bookstore is temporarily closed. Yingzi directed people to move all the books out to the yard to air them in the sun and check for any damage, dampness, or mold.

"Master's wife."

"Huai Ru is here." Seeing her, Yingzi knew something must have happened. "You all continue with your work, but don't forget to handle things gently!"

After giving her a few words of advice, Yingzi led her back to the front yard. "Sit down first, let's talk about it slowly."

"Eh."

Qin Huairu was filled with unease. She sat down on the edge of the chair, looking so awkward and uncomfortable that it was hard for anyone to bear to look at her.

"Speak up, what is it? Do I have to ask you?"

Yingzi's nagging actually made Qin Huairu feel more relaxed. "Which one is the locust flower...?"

That night, Yingzi was clearing the dishes when she brought up the matter with her husband.

"The man just disappeared."

"They disappeared. They said they reported it to the police but couldn't find them. It's like they vanished into thin air."

"Haha~"

Yang Jianguo chuckled. "Disappearing into thin air" is just a euphemism; someone is covering for him, or they simply didn't take it seriously and didn't bother to search for him.

"Okay, I see."

Seeing his official response, Yingzi stood still, holding her bowl and chopsticks.

"There will definitely be news in two days."

Yang Jianguo then slapped his forehead and quickly gave her an exact time.

I get so confused at work every day that I forget I'm not replying to my subordinates.

Yingzi was satisfied and went to the kitchen.

After they finished their work and rested at night, the two of them discussed their daughter's affairs again.

The handover of work has been almost completed, and everything has been arranged at the school. Meng Jie can enroll directly once she arrives.

Therefore, Zhiyi plans to leave in the next couple of days, and Yang Jianguo has to make a special trip to the train station to see her off.

"Actually, it's not necessary for you to deliver it. I can do the same thing. If you can't make the time, don't force yourself."

Yingzi, who lives close to her husband, knows better than anyone how busy he has been lately.

The matter with Qin Huairu could have been resolved simply by making a few connections, especially since she was her husband's apprentice and an old neighbor.

Yingzi actually rejected him on the spot.

"Okay, I'll try to make time for it."

"Is your schedule something you can manage on your own?"

"..."

Yang Jianguo was truly speechless after she retorted. His official position was rising higher and higher, but he was increasingly losing control of his own time.

These days, my schedule is packed with photos every day.

If he can take a short 15-minute break each day to lean back in his chair and close his eyes for a short rest, that would be an immense favor.

The Nantianmen Project, the J-10 fighter jet project, and the artificial sun—

These three key projects alone have kept him extremely busy.

Not to mention other projects that require him to periodically review reports, check progress, adjust direction, and provide professional guidance to the team.

Sometimes we have to add a short class to enlighten those blockheads.

I can't understand a problem even after going over it more than ten times.

Thinking about this, Yang Jianguo's head started pounding; this was really troublesome.

“I heard that some people have suggested that you take a teaching position at a school.”

"I rejected it."

Mentioning this matter, Yang Jianguo's brows furrowed even more deeply.

Given his current situation, he's still going to school to teach.

Even if you moved the entire school to his doorstep, he still wouldn't be able to talk for more than 10 minutes.

Substitute teaching? What kind of teaching?

Once the J-10 project is completed, new advanced aerospace composite materials will be successfully developed and put into practical use.

The Nantianmen Project was fully launched, and Tesla's manuscripts were thoroughly studied.

The maglev project is on track, and antigravity has found the key to entry. At that time, he will probably be able to spare some time to teach a few classes at the school.

Even Yang Jianguo is unsure whether he will live to see that day.

"You should also take care of your health. Don't think you're still young and stay up for days and nights without feeling as strong as an ox after a good night's sleep."

"Yes, my wife is right. We must strictly follow the highest instructions."

"Nonsense."

She raised her hand and pushed him, and Yingzi suddenly went limp.

The tacit understanding they had developed over the years made Yang Jianguo realize that this was a signal from her to "challenge" him.

pat~

The light cord went out; that night, trouble began.

Chapter 879 20 Hours, The Temptation of Power

Deep in the earth, Futian.

In a dirty, dilapidated old rental room, Yang Kaibo was adjusting his wig in front of a cracked mirror.

He has been hiding here for almost two months. At first, he was terrified and couldn't eat or sleep, but now he has become used to it and is proud of himself.

Yang Kaibo underwent a spiritual transformation and inner growth.

Thinking of the more than 300 million yuan he had hidden away, Yang Kaibo felt that it was all worth it.

As for those who were cheated by him, they deserved it.

Who told them to be so stupid!

It's foolish to believe what others say so easily. Even if you don't lie to yourself, you'll eventually be lied to by outsiders.

That's how the world is: cows eat grass, and people eat cows.

If you choose to be a cow, you must be prepared to be eaten. Yang Kaibo did not want to be a cow; he chose to be a human.

Therefore, it is only right for him to eat beef.

Feeling extremely pleased with himself, Yang Kaibo finally straightened his bangs, turned up his collar, and then put on his glasses with satisfaction.

When he puts on those sophisticated, gentlemanly gold-rimmed glasses, he looks like a completely different person.

No one would guess that the seemingly refined scholar in front of them was actually a fraud.

After packing, Yang Kaibo picked up his wallet containing some loose change, put on his old-fashioned Shanghai brand watch, and went out.

He plans to have breakfast first, then wander around, read the newspaper, chat with his neighbors, and make his presence felt.

Finally, let's take another look at the hidden money.

He divided the more than 300 million into three parts and hid them in three different places.

Every place was extremely secluded, but Yang Kaibo still felt uneasy and had to go and check on it every few days to feel at ease.

It's been four days since I last checked, it's time to go and put my mind at ease again.

Eating, taking a walk, chatting.

Everyone's impression of Yang Kaibo is deepening; he is a learned and cultured man.

As night fell and the streets gradually emptied, Yang Kaibo cleverly slipped into an old alley and hurried toward the abandoned, dilapidated factory.

After constantly observing his surroundings and confirming that there were no tails, Yang Kaibo suddenly turned around in front of the old factory gate and plunged into the nearby woods.

There was trash and debris everywhere, along with several used umbrellas and large band-aids.

The entire environment cannot be described as merely dirty and chaotic; it is downright disgusting.

Yang Kaibo acted as if he hadn't seen it and kept walking in, finally stopping in front of a tree with a large lump on its branch.

The old, dilapidated metal cabinet next to him, still full of garbage and filled with water, was carefully pushed upwards by Yang Kaibo, who then used the momentum of the side to prop it up.

He bent down and rummaged around under the cabinet for a while, and soon found the traces he had left.

After confirming that there were no new traces on it, Yang Kaibo breathed a sigh of relief, covered the soil back up, put down the metal cabinet, and used a branch to sweep away the traces around it, burying the signs that he had been there.

Then they set off for their next destination.

Just 10 minutes after he left, three men in plainclothes appeared next to the metal cabinet, roughly lifted it up, and turned over the dust covering it.

Soon, a bag sealed in several layers and filled with cash was pulled out.

After prying away the disguised stones under the bridge, Yang Kaibo, exhausted and covered in sweat, sat down on the riverbank and breathed a sigh of relief after checking three hiding places for money in the silt that would be submerged when the river rises.

He wiped the sweat from his face with a handkerchief and was about to leave when several blinding spotlights shone on him. "Yang Kaibo, Shenzhen Public Security Bureau, put your hands up, you're under arrest."

Within 14 hours, Yang Kaibo was successfully apprehended, and 314 million yuan in cash that he had hidden was also discovered.

After a six-hour interrogation, the names of the creditors were all listed.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

The defrauded creditors received all sorts of notices instructing them to return to Shenzhen to collect their money from the police station. Yang Kaibo was eventually found.

Contact family, friends, and subordinates to verify the information at the police station.

The person was indeed caught, and all the money was still there. A large number of creditors immediately rushed to the train station to buy tickets to return home.

With only six or seven opportunists left, they were at a loss, like sitting on a wax candle.

"Whatever, we'll just stick with that woman anyway, since she's the legal representative."

"Yes, that bastard surnamed Yang doesn't owe us any money, but his company does. We'll find whoever is the legal representative."
