Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 505

"What important business is this? The important business is having children and carrying on the family line."

Zhao Yuezhen pinched his waist with her hand before saying, "I want to ask you something, should we just storm into Qing Laosan's house tonight?"

"Isn't your method too radical? Just kill him?"

Zhao Yuezhen nodded and said, "I have a license to kill. As long as there is danger, I can take care of it first."

Before Zhao Yuezhen joined the company, she was told that although she was nominally the deputy head of the security department, she could resolve any dangers she discovered while protecting He Yuzhu.

Zhao Yuezhen has now entered the realm of internal strength. Even without He Yuzhu's support, she could easily deal with everyone in Qing Laosan's family on her own.

He Yuzhu said, "That would be going too far. Besides, many of Qing Laosan's men don't live in his house. If we just kill Qing Laosan, his men might do something."

Zhao Yuezhen immediately understood and asked, "You mean to gather intelligence and wipe out his entire crew?"

"Yes, someone like him must have some dirty dealings with him. He's probably involved in too many illegal and unethical things. We need to eliminate all of his men at once."

Zhao Yuezhen's method, although it sounds pretty cool, doesn't allow him to take down all his men at once, and it would be difficult to explain afterwards.

It would be better to wait a few days, allow He Yuzhu to gather enough evidence, and then use official power to arrest everyone.

He Yuzhu told Zhao Yuezhen his thoughts, and she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll protect the family, nothing will happen."

These days, He Yuzhu has not only been practicing dual cultivation with Zhao Yuezhen, but has also taught her many other things.

Zhao Yuezhen alone could wipe out the entire Qing family.

He Yuzhu and Zhao Yuezhen chatted for a while before reluctantly ending the massage service. Zhao Yuezhen rolled her eyes at him.

"It's not like I won't give it to you at night, you just mess around whenever you have a spare moment."

He Yuzhu chuckled and said, "It's still more fun to do it secretly."

"What's so great about stealing from your own home? Why don't you steal from outside?"

He Yuzhu stopped talking, lest he say something wrong and reveal the theft outside.

He turned and went to the study, glanced at the time, and realized it was almost time to get off work, so he quickly asked for Bai Ling's phone number from the Municipal Bureau.

"Hello, Sister Ling, it's me."

"Oh, it's you. What's up calling at this hour?"

"Here's what happened..."

He Yuzhu recounted how Master Qing had come to threaten him and demand that he release the people earlier that day.

"He's being way too audacious."

"Yes, I'm safe here. I just wanted to ask Sister Ling if you could find Qing Laosan's file over there?"

The newly appointed police station chief, Qiao Yuanhong, came from the branch bureau. So even though Sun Tie has been transferred to the branch bureau, Qiao Yuanhong must still have informants within the branch bureau, so many things cannot go through the branch bureau.

It just so happens that He Yuzhu has met Bai Ling, so he has no choice but to use Bai Ling to check Qing Laosan's file.

Ideally, there should be long-term observation records to know who his subordinates are.

Bai Ling did not answer directly, but first inquired about Qing Laosan's situation.

He Yuzhu revealed everything he knew about Qing Laosan's past.

Bai Ling thought for a moment and said, "Wait for my call. I'll go to the archives and check. Someone like him should be a key person under observation. We should have a file on him here."

He Yuzhu knew some of the work processes in the public security system, which is why he found Bai Ling.

For ordinary people, their files would only be kept at the branch office, but people like Qing Laosan, who have a certain influence in society, would be listed as key personnel under observation by the public security system.

The municipal police department usually keeps a file on these people, since they are prone to committing crimes and many cases involve them, allowing the municipal police department to take direct action.

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu waited for it to ring again before answering it.

Bai Ling said, "I found it. There are three files related to him."

"Thank you, Sister Ling. I'll go get it right away," He Yuzhu asked.

"No, according to regulations, I can't show you this file. How about this, I'll take the answers home, and you can come to my house tonight to see them."

He Yuzhu said, "Okay, I'll bring some meat and vegetables over, and I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

He Yuzhu first told Xu Huizhen, who then told him to be careful before He Yuzhu left home.

He drove to Bai Ling's house and waited for a while before Bai Ling returned on her bicycle.

The two greeted each other, opened the door, and He Yuzhu brought the things from the back seat in.

"Are you moving? Why are you bringing so much stuff?"

He Yuzhu had only delivered some grain before, but later discovered that Bai Ling's house had nothing.

He Yuzhu prepared quite a lot this time: canned fruit, canned meat, dried meat, and wine.

“It’s not much, and you’re still my sister, so it’s only right for your brother to be filial to you.”

Bai Ling was speechless. However, since they were of different ages, He Yuzhu casually addressed her as "Sister Ling," which was normal.

Why is He Yuzhu speaking so confidently today, as if the two of them have become siblings?

"When did I have a younger brother like you?" Bai Ling asked with a smile.

"How could it not be? Sister Zao is just like my own sister. You two are the best of sisters. You are no different from my own sister."

Bai Ling didn't know how to retort for a moment: "Fine, whatever you say."

He Yuzhu exclaimed happily, "Sister Ling!"

Chapter 357 Drunk

Bai Ling smiled and agreed, saying that having a younger brother was not bad.

The two temporarily agreed on the status of siblings, and He Yuzhu moved his belongings in, some into the kitchen and some into the main room.

After finishing her work, Bai Ling poured her a glass of water and said, "I brought the file to you. Shall we look at it now?"

"No rush, I'll cook for you first. Nowadays, everyone at your workplace is eating two meals a day."

Bai Ling's home didn't have much cooking equipment; even basic seasonings were lacking. The kitchen was more like a decoration, and it seemed like it hadn't been used for a long time.

"Yes, we can only eat two meals a day. What about your machine factory?"

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "The workers eat three meals a day!"

There isn't enough food to eat right now, so even some workplaces have implemented a two-meal-a-day system.

That is, they eat their first meal around 9 a.m., and their second meal isn't until around 4 p.m.

Units like the Municipal Bureau are not physically demanding jobs, so there is no special treatment for them; they receive the same food rations as ordinary people.

The machine factory was different; almost all the positions were physically demanding, so the higher-ups allocated more grain quotas to it.

There have been tragic lessons in the past: when workers are not well-fed and do not have enough strength to operate the machines, various accidents are likely to occur.

Modern machines are large and bulky, making it easy for them to cause injury or even death.

In order to maintain production, we can only provide enough food.

Moreover, the machinery factory also has 1000 mu of arable land, which produces a large amount of grain every year, and can supplement the income.

"Your workplace is so much better; at least you can get enough to eat," Bai Ling said with some emotion.

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "We're short-staffed right now, why don't you come work for us?"

"Okay, once I reach that level, I can only be a factory manager."

After exchanging a few words, He Yuzhu finished his tea and said, "I'll go cook for you."

"I'm here to help."

Bai Ling followed He Yuzhu into the kitchen and assisted him, cooking one meat dish and one vegetable dish, and making an egg drop soup. The portions were small, as wasting food was the greatest sin at that time.

He Yuzhu opened a bottle of wine and asked, "Want some more?"

As they were talking, they brought over two cups and filled them up.

Bai Ling said, "What? You want to force me to drink more?"

"Sister Ling, your alcohol tolerance is a bit low. Yes, yes, you need to practice more."

Bai Ling didn't say much, but raised her glass, and the two clinked glasses and said "Cheers!"

Of course, they only took a small sip.

He Yuzhu then opened the file that Bai Ling had brought back and began reading it while eating.

Qing Laosan has a very unconventional approach; he has a group of people under his command who do all sorts of things.

However, he distanced himself from the matter and did not personally participate, so many people were arrested for various reasons, but none of them were implicated in him.

After Qing Laosan made some arrangements and even helped support the prisoners' families, the prisoners were extremely grateful and he was not implicated.

Bai Ling said, "This third brother Qing does have some tricks up his sleeve and knows how to win people's hearts."

"Yes, but he messed up this time."

Bai Ling immediately understood He Yuzhu's words; he was about to take action against him.

Even He Yuzhu's apparent strength is enough to give Qing Laosan a run for his money.
