Chapter 40

  Sherry returned to England, and from then on, she did not create any waves in Aizi's life.

  Zhang Yuanyuan also left, to say something not pleasant, in Yang City, if Ai Ziqing wants to move someone, she doesn't even need to make an effort, and there will be people rushing forward one after another.

  Xu's family, Xu Wei had been in low spirits since he lost the Weigao Group and was hospitalized. He became weaker and weaker, and eventually couldn't escape death's fate. After Xu Qian's father passed away and the Weigao Group was acquired by Jing Shi Corporation, she left Yang City with her mother, and their whereabouts are unknown...

  Is this the evil consequence of Ai Zi Qing's actions? Perhaps, but this is reality, it's her right and also her responsibility. Whether it's the underworld or the business world, there are many deceitful and cunning people, with hidden dark sides, but still someone will rush in, either achieving success or retreating in defeat, just like a magnificent stage, since you've already chosen to stand on it, you must fulfill your duty, if you don't want to retreat in defeat, then you're destined to...

  Perhaps every successful person has such a story, and each story can be written into an endless good book, just like destined to leave a brilliant stroke on this magnificent stage - Ai Zi Qing.

  Xue Mei finished speaking, then stood up nonchalantly, patted the dust off her back, swung her arm and tossed the empty can into the calm lake surface, splashing a cluster of water droplets, before turning around and leaving.

  Just as her words stirred up a ripple in Aizi's heart, and just like the lake surface, it returned to calmness.

  Against the afterglow of the sunset, Ai Zi Qing stood up, stretched her waist, and walked in the direction of home.

  If life is like a play, then it's true that people only gather together by fate. Ai Zi Qing has always cherished the people around her, her family ties, friendships, and perhaps even the love that has yet to arrive, but for now, she may not want to be bound by the shackles of love.

  Xiao Qing quietly crawled out of the sleeve and climbed onto Ai Zi Qing's shoulder, lazily coiling on top. The adorable appearance made Ai Zi Qing smile. Since bringing it back from Wai Tan, Ai Zi Qing had been carefully taking care of and feeding it. Now Xiao Qing showed some signs of being a little fat snake, looks like it can't be allowed to overeat anymore.

  Entering the crowd, Aizi Qing reluctantly stuffed the small snake back into her sleeve.

  When he arrived home, Ai Guohua had already received his second month's salary, and now that his job was stable, the whole family no longer had to worry about financial problems. Moreover, Ai Ziqing had a jewelry company, and Ai Guohua's work was very leisurely, with him having to attend countless banquets every day, which made him visibly gain weight over the past two months.

  Jiang Qin muttered to herself, "These people are really something. You're just a small manager, why do they always ask for your help? And that general manager of yours is also like that, always responding to their requests. It's made things so boring during work hours, and now there's no end of socializing after work!"

  "Hey, interpersonal relationships are still important, the manager values my personal abilities, after all, I was also a workshop director in the company at that time, and I also managed people under me!" Ai Guohua said with some pride.

  Listening to the conversation between the two, Ai Zi Qing couldn't help but smile. In her past life, her parents had gone grey prematurely due to overwork, but this life was clearly different. This could be considered a change in her own and her family's fate.

  "I said, Zi Qing, look at your dad now, he's so fat! If he keeps eating like this, I think even a pig is better than him!" Jiang Qin complained, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve up into a smile. After all, having a capable man was something to be very proud of.

  "Let the pig be a pig, now our daughter is more capable than me, after a few years I can also enjoy my life at home." Ai Guohua proudly looked at Ai Ziqing, his heart filled with pride and satisfaction of having a grown-up daughter.

  "Dad, actually you can now enjoy your life at home." Ai Zi Qing sat on the sofa, holding Ai Guo Hua's arm and smiled.

  "It's not possible now, your father can't stay at home, he must be busy outside to be happy, that's just his fate! Jiang Qin smiled and poured tea on the side, nowadays she has nothing to do, so she learns some health-preserving methods every day, drinking tea and raising flowers all day long, a typical lady."

  "Are you also at home growing flowers like you? I'm afraid I'll be old before my time!" Ai Guohua glanced at her and sneered.

  "What's premature aging, I call it nourishing life! Do you understand nourishing life? It's all said on TV! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, and go out to make people laugh!" Jiang Qin heard this and immediately became displeased, giving him a big white eye.

  Watching her parents bickering, Aizi Qing felt comforted in her heart. No matter how busy and stressful her career was, when she returned home, there was a warm atmosphere surrounding her that washed away the impurities on her body and brought her back to being a daughter.

  Xiao Qing has been a bit dishonest lately, as it actually killed the dog next door, making everyone in the compound feel insecure. After all, the appearance of a venomous snake in the city is a frightening thing. Ai Ziying also secretly suspected that originally thought it was just a grass snake, but unexpectedly its toxicity was so strong. Fortunately, towards Ai Ziying's words, it has always been obedient and has not had any more incidents like that.

  Chang Yu has been complaining a lot lately. After Ai Zi Qing handed over Shang Di to him to take care of, he let go of the affairs of the company, which made him extremely bored and felt that he was underutilized. Ai Zi Qing could only comfort him, saying that there were still many days ahead and they should focus on handling the current matters first.

  Looking at Ai Ziqing, who was unmoved by the oil and salt, Chang Yu could only continue to tidy up Shangdi with a sigh, saying that he wanted to be her strongest backing, making Ai Ziqing feel extremely helpless!

  On that day, Ai Ziying received a call from Zhou Yuan. In the past two months, Ma Yuxi and Qingshe's newly registered company had officially entered J City, with good development prospects and considerable tax revenue, enjoying a harmonious relationship with the government and having established connections in many areas.

  While Zhou Yuan was gradually infiltrating the J City underworld, eroding the remnants of the Wolf Head Gang, there was still a force secretly manipulating him, bringing him much trouble. Originally, this matter shouldn't have been allowed to bother Ai Zi Qing, but recently, Zhou Yuan discovered that the leader of the J City Wolf Head Gang, Qing Lang, had a close relationship with Liu Bin, the vice mayor of J City, and his whereabouts were suspiciously unclear, making him suspect that they were secretly interfering, obstructing and opposing the En Ze Society.

  Ai Zi Qing decided to set off in the next few days, to go to J City and take a look at the situation. After all, it had already taken two months, and Zhou Yuan's abilities were something she was very clear about. Taking down J City was such a difficult task even for him, which showed just how complicated things were.

  The next day, Ai Zi Qing decided to go ask the teacher for leave. After class, she came to the office and saw Li Yong Guang checking some documents. She knocked on the door and entered. Since it was after class, all the teachers were at their own desks grading assignments. Seeing a student walk in, they just raised their heads to take a glance before burying themselves back into work.

  "Ai Zi Qing? What's up?" Li Yong Guang was a bit surprised to see Ai Zi Qing, after all, since that day's incident, he had always felt somewhat awkward whenever they met at school.

  "Teacher Li, I have something to attend to for the next couple of days and need to take a leave of absence." Ai Zi Qing said directly.

  "How long?" Li Yongguang asked with a frown.

  "A week to half a month." This is less.

  "It's been so long? The semester is about to end, if there's nothing important, it's better not to take a leave of absence, reviewing is more important." Li Yongguang frowned and said, in fact, he was clear in his heart that even if Ai Ziqing didn't study, she already had a way out, this kind of examination-oriented education was of no use to her at all, as long as she wanted, she could drop out at any time and learn knowledge that was useful to her.

  "Uh, the final exam won't be cancelled, but something urgent came up this time." Ai Zi Qing said briefly.

  At this time, in the office, Xia Ran, who was playing cards in front of the computer, raised her head and said with a hint of complacency, "Students on campus, how can they take leave without reason? Teacher Li, you can't be so casual about giving leave. These kids are now out of control." Having been bullied by her at the club, but in school, she was Ai Ziying's teacher, and with this opportunity, she naturally wanted to regain face. Moreover, she also knew that Ai Ziying was probably busy with work-related matters, although she didn't know how someone so young could have such a club, but this certainly couldn't be her reason for taking leave.

  Li Yongguang slightly furrowed his brow. This woman had a good figure and a pretty face, so playing with her would be okay, but if she wanted to interfere with his decisions, it would be troublesome later on. He felt annoyed in his heart and thought that Xia Ran was even more garrulous.

  Ai Zi Qing's face suddenly turned gloomy, and with a guilty expression, she said to Xia Ran: "Teacher Xia, if it was that time when I accidentally exposed your relationship with that man, I apologize for it. Please don't be angry."

  "What did you say?" Xia Ran's slightly sharp voice suddenly rose, piercingly loud.

  "I...I didn't do it on purpose, I just happened to be passing by the hotel, when you guys came out...I...I really wasn't trying to." Ai Zi Qing said in a soft and wronged tone, but loud enough for the teacher in the classroom to hear clearly.

  "You! What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't leave the hotel with him!" Xia Ran growled in anger.

  As soon as she said this sentence, she regretted it and closed her mouth, facing the wide-eyed people around her, her face turned red and white, looking at Ai Ziying with shame and annoyance.

  At that time, the requirements for moral integrity and virtue were still relatively conservative, especially for teachers and politicians. Although unmarried cohabitation was not uncommon, just like in later generations, if it became known, it would be seen as frivolous and become a laughing stock, just like how society at that time was highly critical of students who had puppy love. Moreover, women's reputation was fragile, and Xia Ran naturally could not withstand the rumors and gossip of others.

  Li Yongguang was stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect Ai Ziqing to be so bold. The implication of his words was that the man wasn't mentioned, which was exactly what made Ruo Luo's threat so effective! If it were any other time, Li Yongguang wouldn't have cared, but when it came to Xia Ran, a woman he had already played with and was eager to get rid of, he could only swallow his pride.

  Looking at Xia Ran who was about to argue, Li Yongguang said in a low voice, "Alright, it's okay to ask for leave if you have something to attend to, but come back early and don't fall behind on your classes! Go ahead and go." This is great, even the phone call from parents can be saved.

  In Xia Ran's piercing gaze, Ai Zi Qing calmly thanked the teacher and then turned around and walked out of the office.

  The next day, Ai Zi Qing didn't come to school, and Xia Ran also didn't come to school. So far, two teachers have fallen into her hands, and Ai Zi Qing has been circulating a strange title among the students of No. 1 Middle School - "Teacher Terminator".

  Teacher Terminator...... Ai Zi Qing didn't know that she had received this honor, but with a slightly heavy heart, she set foot on the land of J City, where it will also determine her and the entire Jing Society's next major transformation!

  As soon as she got off the train, Ai Zi Qing pulled her not-so-heavy luggage and followed the crowd outside. Since this trip required an unusually low profile, even sending a car was waived, and only Ai Zi Qing herself took the train to get there.

  Ai Zi Qing came to the company and secretly met with Zhou Yuan at a hotel. Now, all of Jing Society's activities in J City may be being covertly monitored, so they had to be on guard.

  "The situation in J City is quite tense at the moment, but we have basically taken over the original territory of the Wolf Head Gang. Taking advantage of the chaos, we seized their gang and completely fell out with Qing Lang. Now, he has suddenly appeared in J City despite the danger, and his relationship with Liu Bin is very close. I suspect that they have reached some kind of consensus and are about to start a fierce counterattack!" Zhou Yuan reported on the situation over the past two months.

  Ai Zi Qing nodded and smiled, it seemed that Zhou Yuan had indeed not disappointed himself. The organization had already taken root in J City, but the situation was even more tense than imagined, as the counterattack of the Green Wolf might unfold at any time, and Ai Zi Qing and others did not know what unknown things they were plotting.

  "I want to see Liu Bin." Ai Zi Qing said hesitantly.

  "Director..." Zhou Yuan was about to speak but stopped, his disapproving frown evident. After all, the situation had been tense lately, and Liu Bin was part of the Green Wolf gang; he didn't want anything to happen to her.

  "Now that we have an overwhelming advantage, the Wolf Head Gang is no longer a concern. All we need to do now is disrupt Qing Lang's sudden appearance and the plan they've prepared, and we can take down J City in no time. The key to Qing Lang's confidence this time lies with Liu Bin, so Liu Bin must be eliminated." Ai Zi Qing analyzed calmly.

  Zhou Yuan was shocked, and considered removing Liu Bin. He had thought about it before, if he removed Liu Bin, it would be equivalent to undermining the power of Qinglang in J City from the root, which could save a lot of trouble! Just like two palms can clap together, if one is lost, they cannot clap, this is a very simple truth. However, Zhou Yuan did not dare to do so, after all, removing an official, speaking loudly, would be a challenge to the country, no less than the vicious influence of Zhou Kang and others! So he moved forward with a few conservative steps, waiting for Qinglang's next move.

  Ai Zi Qing didn't like to wait for her opponent's move and then resolve it. She hated trouble, always chose the easy way out, and liked to think from the root of the problem to solve it.

  Liu Bin has been under some pressure lately. After all, the Wolf Head Gang is already on shaky ground and no longer has its former strength. On the other hand, Qing She is getting stronger by the day and has become a force to be reckoned with in Yang City. With the provincial party secretary sitting at the top, there have been several clashes between them over the past two months. It can be felt that Qing She has a solid foundation of strength, whether it's in terms of personnel quality or financial support, which is enough to suppress the Wolf Head Gang. This alone explains many problems. The mastermind behind Qing She - Gongzi Qing - is the fundamental reason for Qing She's strong financial and physical strength! However, he himself is extremely mysterious and leaves no trace, all of which makes Liu Bin feel uneasy and anxious.

  He didn't want to bother with the fleeing Qinglang at first, but unfortunately, he had evidence of their years of cooperation in his hands! He threatened that if he didn't cooperate, he would make it public, anyway, he was already finished and didn't care about pulling down another scapegoat. Moreover, this guy was cunning as a fox, with two copies of the evidence in hand, one of which was left with a hidden brother, making Liu Bin have to go all out to deal with Qinglang!

  Fortunately, the plan brought by Qinglang this time is almost foolproof. If Lang Tou Bang can rise again, he will be considered a great contributor and his future benefits are guaranteed. As for those evidences... they will naturally find an opportunity to get rid of Qinglang in the future!

  Under the night sky of J City, the cold wind was particularly biting. Winter was approaching, and Liu Bin rolled up the car window to block out the slightly biting wind. The driver was driving on the way home, thinking about the delicious food, lovely son, comfortable big bed, beautiful and charming wife, Liu Bin's heart felt especially warm.

  Suddenly, Driver Liu stepped on the brakes with one foot, and Liu Bin stumbled, almost falling over. He was slightly angry and said, "What are you doing? Why did you step on the brakes for no reason?"

  "Sorry, sorry Mayor... There's a man in white clothes lying on the ground up ahead, almost crashed into him!" Little Liu hastily apologized.

  "What a guy! Don't mind him, let's go around!" Liu Bin had some vigilance in his heart. Although he was not afraid of the gang finding trouble for him, after all, the black and white societies had basically formed an unwritten rule. Which powerful force didn't have a protective umbrella from the government? Even if there was a fierce battle, few people dared to find trouble with officials. But recently, Liu

  Bin had a faint sense of unease in his heart, especially towards that mysterious president of Qing She!

  "Hmm...the mayor, it seems like a woman! She's moving!" Little Liu's voice trembled.

  "Haha, what's there to be afraid of? Can a girl still eat you up? Go take a look and come back quickly!" Liu Bin's tense mood was also dispelled by the timid little Liu. How can there be ghosts? This kid!

  Xiao Liu nodded and, suppressing the numbness in his scalp, jogged all the way to the front of the woman.

  The withered branches on both sides were blown by the cold wind, making a rustling sound, which made Little Liu's mood even more tense.

  Ran up close, and found it was a beautiful little girl with a lovely face, disheveled hair, slightly open collar, and a pale complexion that was almost transparent. He swallowed hard twice, his eyes suddenly becoming somewhat lustful, and he stared intently at the girl's chest for two seconds before slowly reaching out to gently part her hair and sniff her breath...

  Just then, a sudden change occurred. The woman's eyes snapped open, and her icy gaze sent Little Liu into a cold sweat, leaving him stunned in place. However, the woman didn't move. Just as Little Liu was about to speak, he felt a sharp pain on his bare feet, and his ankles went numb. In an instant, the numbness spread throughout his body, and Little Liu fell straight down. In his final moment, his eyes still looked at Ai Zi Qing with a puzzled expression, which made her heart tighten before quickly returning to calmness.

  Ai Zi Qing slowly got up and walked towards Liu Bin's sedan chair.

  When Little Liu fell to the ground, Liu Bin had already sensed that something was wrong. He only hesitated for a moment before immediately getting into action, wanting to drive away and escape. However, he was in the back seat, so Liu Bin quickly got out of the car, opened the driver's side door, and just as he was about to get in, the back of his head was hit with a hard object, causing him to freeze in place.

  "Are you from Qing She?" Liu Bin asked in a calm and deep voice.

  No one answered.

  "Do you know who I am! Do you know the consequences of doing this! Are all of you police officers stupid! The first thing that comes to mind is that you're from the Municipal Public Security Bureau!" Liu Bin continued to mutter to himself, trying to intimidate his opponent.

  "Hehe... police." Ai Ziqing walked up, chuckling out loud.

  "What do you mean." Liu Bin was somewhat panicked, being completely flustered by the other's attitude!

  "The police wouldn't think of us, at least they can't find any evidence." Ai Zi Qing smiled and explained to Liu Bin.

  "What do you mean!" Liu Bin raised his voice.

  "We don't have any other meaning, we just hope that J City can return to calmness, and I believe this is also what Mayor Liu hopes for." Ai Zi Qing said with a faint smile.

  "Yes! You say, what do you want to do? I can consider it! But first let your people put down their guns!" Liu Bin's heart landed instantly, thinking that the other side thought this could make him compromise and cooperate with them! This would be easy to handle, he could first calm them down and settle accounts later!

  Ai Zi Qing nodded in agreement after a moment of contemplation, saying "Indeed, there's no need for guns anymore, put them down."

  Liu Bin was delighted in his heart, wasn't this little girl too naive...

  On the second day, a piece of news shocked the entire city of J!

  Deputy Mayor Liu Bin and driver died miserably in the car, both bodies had bite marks, preliminary determination of death due to snake venom!

  "With the news of Qing Lang, it seems to be heading in the direction of C City. President, what should we do?" In the luxurious and spacious hall, Zhou Yuan and Ai Zi Qing sat opposite each other.

  "Is that so......" Aizhen's eyes flashed with inspiration, and her gaze was dazed for a moment. She nodded slightly and said, "Let's monitor first, I'll think about it."

  By the end of December, J City was officially captured by Gang Society. At this time, Gang Society's forces had radiated from Yang City to J City and surrounding cities, with a rapid development trend, and even broke out of Liao Province to take down surrounding areas, with intense battles and great fame, unparalleled at that time.

  The government ordered a severe crackdown, but every time some weapons would be thrown down by the gang to be seized by the police, and then the matter would be played down.

  Up until now, Ai Zi Qing has been reborn for more than half a year...

  The first semester of high school is coming to an end, and the final exams are approaching...

  In mid-January, after the exams ended, students hastily packed their things and prepared to go home for a long vacation.

  In the classroom, Liu Yelai held Ai Ziqing's hand and whispered "Do you really have to go? Can't you not go?" After speaking, her eyes were slightly red.

  "Hmm, but I believe we'll meet again soon. When the time comes to take the university entrance exams, can't we just attend the same school and be together?" Aizi Qing gently patted Liu Ye's small hand in comfort.

  "...Then, let's go to the same university together, make a pact!" Seeing Ai Zi Qing had made up her mind, Liu Ye could only nod lightly with red eyes and stretch out her small white hand to make a pact with Ai Zi Qing.

  "Hmm! Let's make a deal." Aizi Qing felt uncomfortable in her heart, but she smiled on the surface and hooked her fingers with Liu Ye.

  "Ai Zi Qing! Are you going to abandon your old mother? Not allowed!" Wang Le Le immediately became angry upon hearing that Ai Zi Qing had already completed the transfer procedures in the restaurant.

  "Why leave? Isn't Yizhong good enough?" Su Xi frowned and asked, a surge of unbearable sourness rising in her heart.

  "It's because of a promise I made to a friend." Ai Zi Qing said softly, lowering her eyelids.

  "What friends?" Xu Jian also felt a little reluctant, after all, for several months, the few of them had been inseparable, but the separation came so suddenly, and he felt a sense of loss.

  "A good friend, I'd like to go see him." Help him out. Ai Zi Qing added a sentence in her heart.

  Seeing Ai Zi Qing's gloomy expression, unwilling to say more, the crowd could only stop asking. Su Xi suppressed the sourness in her heart and squeezed out a smile "Then it's like Liu Fei! Let's meet again in college!" She said, raising her wine glass, and everyone raised their glasses together.

  In the crash of glasses, wine splashed out and was spilled on this last winter evening banquet.

  "University reunion!" everyone exclaimed in unison. But this simple sentence made Ai Zi Qing's eyes redden, yet thinking of that strong figure, she still insisted on this decision!

  Finally, Wang Lele burst into tears and hugged Ai Zi Qing, "I must work hard to get into B University! If you abandon me again, I'll never forgive you! Waaahhh... I hate you for leaving without a word! You only told me after completing the transfer procedures! I don't care! You owe me a Shangdi membership card, and I want unlimited consumption!" Wang Lele wailed with snot and tears.

  "Alright! Everyone gets a share, no more crying, no more crying." Ai Zi Qing was amused by Wang Le Le's words and patted her back with red eyes.

  "You're dead! Just like that, who am I going to have lunch with at noon? Who am I going to go shopping with on the weekends? Who am I going to talk to when I'm bored? I hate you to death!" Wang Lele gently patted Ai Ziying's shoulder, but tears kept flowing...

  At night, on the way home, Su He insisted on sending Ai Zi Qing, but was silent all the way.

  Downstairs, Ai Zi Qing silently sighed, nodded, and turned to go upstairs. Su Xi suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand, softly asking "Is it a very important friend?"

  "Uh-huh." Aiko nodded again.

  "What kind of friend is it that can talk to me like this?" Su Xi lowered her eyelids.

  "A friend who appears strong on the outside but is fragile inside, I hope I can help him." Ai Zi Qing said as she spoke of him, her expression was dazed and a smile that came from the heart slipped out.

  "Do you like him?" Su Hei finally asked softly, the words that had been stuck in her heart.

  "I like it, just as I like you all, very much!" Ai Zi Qing smiled and replied.

  Su Xi seemed to muster up her courage and gazed at Ai Zi Qing saying "Zi Qing, actually I..."

  "Don't say that, the more you talk, the more sad it gets. Although C city is far from here, it doesn't mean we can't meet up. And didn't we all agree to take the entrance exam for B University together?" Ai Zi Qing interrupted him, smiling as she spoke.

  Su Xi pursed her lips and gazed deeply at Ai Zi Qing, then suddenly smiled and nodded, saying "Alright, we'll definitely meet again someday!"

  On a winter afternoon, Ai Ziying and her family drove to Ning County. The new house had been renovated and was waiting for the owners to move in. In line with Ai Ziying's style, the decoration of the house was warm and comfortable, luxurious but not lacking in elegance.

  After much persuasion, her parents finally agreed, on the condition that she would personally oversee her studies and guarantee that her schoolwork wouldn't suffer. Only then did Ai Guohua and Jiang Qin reluctantly agree.

  Headed to Ning County, Ai Zi Qing borrowed a business car from Jing She, just so that on the way back they could give a few more people a ride. Of course, Ai Zi Qing was driving, and Jiang Qin and Ai Guo Hua went from being initially frightened to now praising her, saying their own daughter was truly one of a kind, daring to drive without a license...

  At that time, there was no highway from Yang City to Ning County, so Ai Zi Qing had to take a detour and finally arrived in Ning County before dark.

  Instead of going directly to grandma's house, I found a hotel to stay in first. After all, there are many people at grandma's house and the place is small, it's really crowded.

  It wasn't until nightfall that Ai Zi Qing and her family finished buying groceries and drove to their grandmother's old apartment building.

  The car hadn't even entered the neighborhood when it was already blocked by a sea of people in front. Aizhen got out of the car and asked, only to find that the old building was being demolished and all the residents were forced to move out! Moreover, each household was only given one-fourth of the original price, and some stubborn households refused to move, saying they would rather be buried under the rubble when the building is demolished.

  Perplexed, he walked inside and found his grandparents being forced out of the building in thin clothes, squatting with others wrapped in blankets, surrounded by pots and pans, and unfinished mineral water bottles. At this moment, the two elderly people sat there with a wooden expression, holding up a sign that read: "The government has lost all conscience, the people are suffering!"

  Ai Zi Qing and her parents hurriedly quickened their pace, Jiang Qin's eyes reddened as she hugged her grandmother and sobbed "Mom! What are you doing? How can your body take it?"

  Jiang Lao Tai, Ai Zi Qing's grandmother, was finally held by her daughter. Her originally wooden face showed a hint of excitement with a red flush, and her eyes were also reddened. "Xiao Qin, how did you come?"

  "Mom! Guohua and I will take you to Yang City to live! Dad, Mom, don't freeze here anymore, let's go back to the hotel first." Jiang Qin said as she stood up and pulled Jiang Lao Tai, while her grandfather Jiang Hongxing on the side stuttered "We can't burden you guys! You're not having an easy life either, how can we go to Yang City and burden you again? It's okay, Xiao Qin, don't worry about it, we two will be able to get justice soon!"

  "Grandpa, grandma, don't sit here anymore. This money is probably embezzled by those corrupt officials. Let's go back and warm up first, okay?" Aizi Qing looked at the two stubborn old people, her heart also felt a bit sour.

  "Xiao Qing is here too? Guohua, listen to me, you all go back quickly! Don't let the child catch a cold! If we leave now, who will seek justice for us?! Hurry up and leave!" The grandmother hastily pushed Jiang Qin away and started chasing people.

  "Dad and mom, wait for me, I'll think of a way." Ai Guohua hesitated for a moment, walked aside and dialed the phone.

  Before long, Ai Guohua walked back, with a smile on his face, and wrapped the quilt around the two old men to prevent them from getting cold.

  A Santana with a government license plate drove out of the crowd, looked around and shouted "May I ask which one is Mr. Ai?"

  "Ah, here we are." Ai Guohua waved his hand and the Santana car door opened. Two people got out from inside, one of whom was a middle-aged man in a suit who hurried over to shake hands with Ai Guohua warmly. "Ah, nice to meet you, I'm Zhang Minggui, director of Ning County's relocation office."

  "Hello." Ai Guohua saw the visitor's enthusiasm and hurriedly shook hands with him.

  "Hey, Mr. Ai! Look, the flood has destroyed the Dragon King Temple! How can our own people not recognize their own? This is a mess! It's all because the people under us didn't make it clear, how could we possibly not give the people their hard-earned money?! Everyone go back home for now! Tomorrow, bring your documents and come one by one to collect your money, there won't be any mistakes!" Director Zhang shouted at the crowd after finishing speaking.

  "Are you paying us by square meter?" a resident asked incredulously.

  "Children and old people are not deceived! The blood and sweat of the common people, how can we not give it?! Don't listen to rumors everyone! Disperse, disperse!" The person next to Director Zhang also shouted, and the crowd finally dispersed with half-belief and half-doubt.

  "This, haha, Mr. Ai, you must have a good talk with Secretary Wang, this is all caused by the people under our hands, we also didn't know about it!" On a cold winter day, Director Zhang's forehead was covered in sweat.

  Ai Guohua knew that the Wang Secretary he mentioned was a deputy secretary of the Yang City Discipline Inspection Commission, with great power. And Zhang Ju was also one of his factions. Just now, Ai Guohua had just made a phone call to Zhou Yuan, and didn't expect to have caused a stir on that side. He felt a sense of gratitude in his heart, seeing that things were resolved, he also felt relieved, smiling and saying "Director Zhang said it seriously, but Secretary Wang's side still needs to see your next move! How can we use the common people's hard-earned money for our own enjoyment? Isn't that right?"

  "Yes, yes, yes, I'll go and catch whoever it is and severely punish them! Severely punish!" Director Wang hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead and flattered, after all, he was just a small county official, who would have thought that a demolition house in one place would shock the city? If this were to be pursued, he would be nothing but a political scapegoat!

  As soon as Wang Ju's feet had just left, Ai Guohua spat behind him and cursed, "What a thing! The government will sooner or later deal with these corrupt officials!"

  Ai Zi Qing smiled helplessly, but also felt relieved. After all, her old dad was no longer the straightforward person he used to be. Even in that situation just now, he could still smile and deal with Director Wang, which was already a pretty good improvement.

  After Ai Zi Qing and her family left, the scattered residents gathered again in twos and threes, praising "Old Jiang's family has found a good son-in-law! How capable! The director even came to apologize!"

  "Isn't that so? Last time I saw Director Wang, he was still so arrogant, but this time he's like a mouse seeing a cat! He really got what was coming to him!"

  "It serves him right! Now that's settled, with Old Chiang's son-in-law, our money will be secure too. Alas, others are indeed more capable!"

  "If it weren't for the Chiang family, we wouldn't even have a place to live! Thanks to them! Otherwise, how would the director bother with us common people?" Such praises rose and fell...

  Ai Zi Qing and her family returned to the hotel, booked a room for her grandparents, and let the two elderly people go rest first.

  Jiang Qin had red eyes all the way, Ai Zi Qing also comforted her mother by holding her hand. Fortunately, it was a happy ending for everyone in the end. However, that corrupt official naturally couldn't be kept, it seems like after this, I'll have to make a call and let Zhou Yuan think of a way to get rid of him, after all, one's own family member's mistakes can't be borne in vain.

  Ai Zi Qing is about to start a new chapter, wonderful and limitless!
