Duan Mingjie brought a stool to Zhao Wenxi and asked him to sit down in front of Grandma Yue.
Grandma Yue glanced at him, "Why are you here?"
Aren't they only closed on Sunday?
"I heard that classmate Lu Yao was kidnapped, so I came over to take a look, so that you don't keep saying that I don't care about her."
Zhao Wenxi said jokingly.
Grandma Yue glared at him and said, "Then let Xiao Duan take over the No. 17 Middle School."
"Grandma Yue!"
Lu Yao was helpless, "Director Zhao is a very principled person. Everything is done according to the rules. Don't embarrass him."
Duan Mingjie also said, "Director Zhao, don't listen to Grandma Yue. If I do it, I will do it based on my ability. I believe I have this ability."
Zhao Wenju looked at him approvingly, "I also believe you have this ability, but we haven't reached an agreement yet. Let's wait and see how we do it. There is no clear solution yet."
Now everyone is worried about that piece of land. The negotiation has not been finalized, but it should be done soon. It must be settled before the wheat is harvested.
After saying that, Zhao Wenhui looked at Lu Yao, "Are you okay? Are you scared?"
Lu Yao shook her head, "It's okay, Director Zhao, how did you know that I was kidnapped?"
Zhao Wenjun laughed, "Xia Zhenhua came to me today with gold bars, out-of-print calligraphy and painting, and the Four Treasures of the Study."
Hearing this, Duan Mingjie bit the corner of his lower lip, "Uncle Zheng is right, they really don't want to give up."
Duan Mingjie looked at Zhao Wenxi: "Director Zhao, aren't the ancestors of the Xia family a merchant family? Why do we have so many old objects in our hands?"
Zhao Wenxi: "You also said that we are from a merchant family, so naturally we have money to buy good things."
Lu Yao frowned, "So he got all those things through legitimate channels?"
"That's not all. Some of them were bought through illegal means, but they also spent money."
Duan Mingjie was puzzled: "Didn't anyone search their home during the crackdown?"
"The Xia family was the first family to be searched. However, Xia Zhenhua's father was very smart and hid the illegal things in advance. The things that were searched were all left by their ancestors. After being rehabilitated, the country returned them Back home, the Xia family also donated a small portion to show their support for the country."
Lu Yao: "So, there are still some things in their house that are illegal."
Zhao Wenxi smiled and said, "That's right, but they keep it very secretive. I also met it once at the Xia family by chance."
He is not a nosy person, and he also understands the principle of keeping a line in life.
He could report the Xia family, but for him, there would be no benefit except adding another enemy.
"If you need it, I can provide you with the illegal cultural relics, but I will not testify."
Grandma Yue glared at him, "Do you think this is helping Yaoyao? This is helping the country recover cultural relics!"
Zhao Wenjun was helpless, "Aunt Yue, if I come forward to testify, within half a day, the whole capital will think that I have joined the Zheng family's camp. This is not what I want."
Since entering the officialdom, he has always been prudent about protecting himself, never forming cliques, just doing his own thing well, and not getting involved in any disputes in Beijing circles.
He didn't want to get himself involved in the whirlpool of the Beijing circle because of Lu Yao.
Grandma Yue was a little angry. Lu Yao held her hand and said, "Grandma Yue, Director Zhao has been very kind to me. You can't let him violate his principles."
Grandma Yue pursed her lips and said, "Okay, if you need me somewhere, just say so. The Xia family is not the only one with good things. I can scare them to death with just one item."
Lu Yao couldn't help but smile, "Okay, I'll tell you if I need anything."
Duan Mingjie and Lu Yao sent Zhao Wengui to the door of his house. Lu Yao said apologetically, "Director Zhao, I'm sorry for embarrassing you."
Zhao Wenju waved his hand, "It's a small thing, it shows that Aunt Yue really likes you, but there really isn't much I can do for you."
Lu Yao is very kind to Aunt Yue, but not good enough to let him join the Zheng family's camp.
"You have helped us enough. Don't take Grandma Yue's words to heart."
After seeing off Zhao Wenhui and Grandma Yue, Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie returned home.
Duan Mingjie tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically, "Since they won't give up, it's better to give their family a happy life."
Lu Yao: "I heard Jiajia say that Xia Zhenjie wanted beautiful girls when he saw them, but he didn't dare to touch the ones with status. Those children of ordinary people became his targets. I think there must be some among them. Yes, if we find those victims, maybe we can give Xia Zhenjie a happy ending."
Duan Mingjie: "I'll go out and find out."
"Look for Jiajia, she must know something."
Zheng Jiajia really knows a few, "After Zheng Qi and Xia Zhenjie got engaged, I inquired about it, and my brother also found out some. Xia Zhenjie is relatively rich. Some girls voluntarily followed him and became shady lovers. There are a few more , were unwilling to obey her, two of them were already married, and one girl had a strong temper and went back to commit suicide after being bullied by Xia Zhenjie."
Hearing this, Lu Yao frowned.
Xia Zhenjie is a beast!
He deserves to die!
"Won't the victim's family make a fuss? If their good daughter is gone, won't her parents seek justice for her?"
Zheng Jiajia pursed her lips and said, "You think too simply. Just like this time, he can kidnap you without anyone noticing. If you weren't the third uncle's daughter, you would be bullied to death by her and you wouldn't be able to find a place." Xia Zhenjie has many dens, and the wages he pays to his men are high. Some of them even signed life-and-death contracts. Even if something happens, they will fight to the death. Who can prove that those girls were abducted by Xia Zhenjie? Even if we go to the police station, we will end up in vain.”
"Let's just talk about Tong Juan who committed suicide. Her parents tried their best to seek justice for her, but in the end, her brother and sister-in-law took Xia Zhenjie's money and didn't even dare to say a word. The two elderly people were even beaten. If you hit me, your son will watch you, and you are not allowed to call the police.”
Although it had been a long time, Zheng Jiajia was still very angry when she mentioned this matter.
Lu Yao: "Do you know where that family is?"
Zheng Jiajia: "I'll take you there."
Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie followed Zheng Jiajia to Tong Juan's home.
Zheng Jiajia pointed to the new two-story western-style building in front, "This is the house built after Tong Juan's accident."
Lu Yao found it extremely ironic.
Is there really such a brother in the world who lives a good life by stepping on his sister's bones?
At this time, an old lady with gray hair came out of the hall, hobbling out on a walking stick.
Zheng Jiajia explained, "This must be Tong Juan's mother. After Tong Juan's accident, her son took money to get into trouble. The couple was unable to avenge their daughter, and their hair turned gray overnight."
The old lady found them and was a little dazed, "Who are you looking for?"
Lu Yao walked over and said, "We are looking for you."
The old lady took a step back and said, "I don't know you."
Lu Yao lowered her voice and said, "Old man, do you want to avenge Tong Juan?"
The old lady's eyes darkened.
