Ye Yun's lips curled into a smile.
Though he was beaten and lost five million today,
He could clearly feel that Li Mengyao's wariness towards him had significantly diminished.
As long as he persisted,
A reunion was within reach, and a brighter tomorrow awaited!
Compared to this, being beaten and losing money were minor matters.
However, recalling Wu Lan's words just now,
A cold glint flashed in Ye Yun's eyes.
He hadn't expected Sun Youcai, that scumbag, to go after Li Mengyao's parents.
If only his strength were sufficient now,
He would have gone to kill the other party on the spot!
"Just you wait, Sun Youcai. When Gan Cao Yao develops, I will personally cut you to death inch by inch!"
Ye Yun murmured softly.
Just as Ye Yun finished speaking,
His phone rang.
"Wenwen, it's late at night, what instructions do you have?" Ye Yun asked curiously as soon as he answered.
"Mr. Ye, I, that..."
"What is it, stuttering? Speak quickly," Ye Yun said softly, careful not to disturb his wife and daughter resting in the room.
"Grandpa had an episode earlier and almost didn't make it. I'm so grateful to Mr. Ye for the Gan Cao Yao!" Wang Wenwen's voice was filled with admiration.
"Is that all? We'll talk later." As the inventor of Gan Cao Yao, Ye Yun was not surprised and made to hang up.
"Ah, Mr. Ye doesn't know yet? Didn't Wang Hailin call you?"
"No, why?" Ye Yun was taken aback.
"That scoundrel is so unreliable! It's like this, Mr. Ye, Grandpa wants to invite you to his home tomorrow as a guest to have a chat. Grandpa originally asked Wang Hailin to inform you, but I don't know what he's up to, his phone is unreachable." Wang Wenwen said anxiously.
"Old Mr. Wang wants to chat with me?"
Ye Yun was stunned.
It was truly a case of "when you need a pillow, someone sends you one."
He understood that the other party was most likely looking for him regarding the Gan Cao Yao.
Since that was the case, he didn't mind discussing the matter with him then.
"That's right, Mr. Ye, is it convenient?"
"Tomorrow, right? I can!"
"Okay, then I'll pick you up tomorrow!" Wang Wenwen said.
"Alright, pick me up at the intersection of Ruitai Kindergarten tomorrow morning at nine."
"Deal!"
Just as Ye Yun finalized the arrangements, at the same time, in the Jinling City Commercial Investigation Bureau.
Despite it being late at night, the place was brightly lit.
Clearly, a major case was being handled!
"Mr. Wu, Wang Hailin has been detained. What are our next steps? Should we apprehend Old Mr. Wang directly?"
Zhang Jinzhong respectfully reported his work to the person in front of him.
Wu Xinmin did not answer. Looking at the intelligence before him, he took a deep breath, feeling a headache.
Wang Weiguo was the leader he most admired, and it was under his tutelage that he had reached his current position.
And now?
Wang Meiling and Wang Wenwen had first taken over an entire pedestrian street in Xiong'an County, pocketing immense profits!
Now, Wang Meiling had invested seven hundred million to short sell Haixin Group!
If only one of these events had occurred, it could be attributed to coincidence.
With these two events happening one after another, one couldn't help but suspect something!
It was just a coincidence that Wang Weiguo was aware of both these matters!
Could it be that Wang Weiguo had privately leaked information to his children?
"Let me think about it again," Wu Xinmin said after a moment of silence.
"Mr. Wu, if you don't act decisively, you'll be in trouble! The evidence is conclusive, and this matter cannot be separated from Old Mr. Wang. You can't because he was once your teacher..." Zhang Jinzhong said anxiously.
"I believe in my teacher's character!" Wu Xinmin stated firmly, "He would never sacrifice the interests of the country and the people for personal gain!"
Zhang Jinzhong fell silent for a moment, then reminded him.
"Mr. Wu, don't forget! Wang Hailin just needs to compensate hundreds of millions due to the shoddy engineering at Project 98..."
"!!!!"
Wu Xinmin was stunned, then gave a bitter smile.
Yes!
An ordinary teacher would never do such a thing.
But now?
Wang Hailin had to compensate so much due to the shoddy engineering at Project 98.
His only son had caused such a huge mess.
As a father, would he not want to help?
Wu Xinmin asked himself, he was also a father.
If his son had caused an enormous problem, and then knelt before him, what would he choose?
He didn't know!
"Alright, you take a couple of people with you tomorrow, and we'll go to my teacher's house..." Wu Xinmin waved his hand, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
Zhang Jinzhong nodded in agreement and then quietly departed.
After Zhang Jinzhong closed the door, Wu Xinmin stood up and looked at a calligraphy scroll hanging on the wall, which read:
"For the Country and the People."
Inscribed by: Wang Weiguo.
He sighed.
"Teacher, I hope you won't disappoint me..."
...
The next day, Ye Yun woke up early.
He first went to the nearby market to buy ingredients like preserved eggs and pork belly.
Then he immediately returned home and carefully prepared breakfast for his wife and daughter.
Although Wu Lan had taken all the money, fortunately, he still had the five hundred yuan "alcohol money" that Wu Lan had dropped yesterday.
When Li Mengyao and Ke Ke woke up,
Crab roe steamed dumplings, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, fried eggs, crystal pork jelly, Kyoho grapes, milk...
A rich and orderly breakfast was perfectly laid out on the table.
"Daddy!"
Ke Ke, still sleepy-eyed, saw Ye Yun busy and quickly ran over to hug his leg.
"Be good, Ke Ke. Go brush your teeth and wash your face with Mommy first. After breakfast, Daddy will take you to school, okay?"
Ye Yun's eyes were filled with doting affection as he happily stroked Ke Ke's hair.
"Okay! Daddy's going to take me to school! Daddy's going to take me to school!"
Hearing that Ye Yun was going to take her, Ke Ke danced with joy, like a cheerful sprite.
Li Mengyao also saw the rich breakfast on the table and looked at Ye Yun in disbelief.
"Did you prepare all of this early this morning?"
"I couldn't sleep this morning, so I went to the market for a stroll and bought some things to make. Hurry up and wash up, you have to go to work after eating. I'll take Ke Ke to school today."
"Okay."
This time, Li Mengyao didn't refuse and took Ke Ke to wash up.
Sitting at the dining table, Li Mengyao picked up the milk and was surprised again.
Warm?
The Ye Yun of the past, let alone whether he would pour milk for them,
Even if he knew, he wouldn't, and certainly wouldn't have warmed the milk.
Had he truly changed?
"You gave all the money to my mother, do we still have money?"
Li Mengyao lowered her head, her hair covering her face, not daring to look Ye Yun in the eye.
"Don't worry, Mengyao, I have enough money," Ye Yun smiled and added, "That card is the twenty million reward from Lin Shiyou."
"But don't forget, I also sold a valuable treasure to Wang Wenwen and her group, and got five million from them. I paid over two hundred thousand in usury, and resolved Meng Han's incident with a million. There's still a significant amount left. Do you have any money on you? I'll get some for you later."
Ye Yun was actually lying.
He had not a single cent left on him; that money was still being invested in the stock market. He said these things just to comfort Li Mengyao!
Of course, if Li Mengyao really wanted it, he would get some from Lin Shiyou; it wouldn't be a big problem.
Li Mengyao was already stunned when she heard this.
Ke Ke was bitten by a dog, and Ye Yun spent fifteen million to hospitalize Zhang Pipi's parents.
Yesterday, he gave his mother five million.
Meng Han beat Ning Xiaoming into the hospital and compensated one million.
In less than half a month, Ye Yun had spent over twenty-one million?
And there was still over three million left?
