Chapter 41: Arabian Nights

  At Old Wang's house, Liu Dongmei is absolutely the representative of the party. Don't look at Wang He being in a high position, but when he returns home, he still has to listen to his wife. Now that Old Buddha has spoken, Sima Youlan sees her mother-in-law looking a bit angry and quickly explains: "Mom, don't get angry first, things aren't what you think they are. It's because Wei Ye's cultivation method is different from mine. According to what he told my dad, his master repeatedly warned him that in the future cultivation process, he must marry several wives, or else his wife will die early. And my dad also believed what Wei Ye said. So, I was engaged to him. Moreover, Wei Ye's uncle has agreed to let him have multiple wives..."

  Simar Youlan was about to continue, but Wang He on the side was confused. He hurriedly stopped his daughter-in-law from speaking and said: "Youlan, wait a minute. Your words just confused Dad again. What is cultivation? What master? How did another dry father come out here? What does this dry father Weiye do? What right does he have to let the little rascal Weiye marry more wives? Is he not afraid of the country's law?"

  Wang He's series of questions left Sima Youlan stunned. She turned her head to glance at Wang Weiye, feeling extremely puzzled as to why his parents wouldn't know about his cultivation. Now that his father had asked, Sima Youlan couldn't dare not answer, so she carefully replied in a soft voice: "Dad, Mom... didn't you know about Wei Ye's cultivation?"

  Seeing her father and mother shaking their heads, Sima Youlan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and began to complain about Wang Weiye. Such a big thing, this stinky rascal didn't even tell his family members. Sima Youlan had no choice but to continue speaking: "Dad, Mom, you both know Chinese martial arts, right? But Chinese martial arts are divided into two types, one is internal family skills, and the other is external family skills. I've been practicing our family's internal family skills since childhood, also known as internal true energy. For example, an internal expert can fly over rooftops and walk on walls... etc. While Weiye practices Yuanqi, which is a different practice method from the true energy I'm currently practicing. According to our family records, we suspect that Weiye is a cultivator."

  Because Wang He and Liu Dongmei did not understand the martial arts, so they listened to Sima Youlan's words as if they were listening to heavenly books. But there was one thing that the two of them understood clearly, that is, this daughter-in-law had a very high level of kung fu skills on her body.

  Wang He was confused and thought to himself: What does this have to do with martial arts again, and what's the connection between this and that little rascal having multiple wives?

  The problem is not solved, but instead, several more problems are added. Wang He can only ask stiffly: "Youlan, can you give a simple example and explain why the great cause is different from you? You suspect he is a cultivator, but what is a cultivator?"

  There was no way about it, so Sima Youlan could only explain again, saying: "Dad, according to our terminology, a cultivator is what you would call an immortal."

  Upon hearing Sima Youlan's words, Wang He and Liu Dongmei immediately burst out laughing, "Haha... Youlan, you say Wei Ye is a god?" Haha...

  It was only when they entered the Wang family home that she laughed heartily for the first time. Liu Dongmei patted Sima Youlan's hand with one hand, and smiled as she said: "Youlan, you really know how to joke, Mom almost died from laughter because of your words."

  Seeing his parents' joyful expressions, Sima Youlan knew they had misunderstood and quickly explained: "Dad, Mom. You may have misinterpreted what I said. I didn't mean that Wei Ye is a god now, but rather the cultivation method he practices is one that those legendary gods also cultivate. The higher-ups place great importance on this matter, or else General Tong wouldn't have sent a special envoy to meet with Wei Ye."

  Seeing the serious look on his daughter-in-law's face, and hearing her say this, Wang He and Liu Dongmei were no longer happy. Now the two of them had already believed what their daughter-in-law said. If the General Staff could send a special envoy, then it meant that this matter was not ordinary.

  Two people understand that they should understand, but the two of them just can't figure it out. This precious son at home, when did he acknowledge a master and learn such formidable kung fu skills?

  The son is formidable, and as a mother, she's naturally delighted. Liu Dongmei half-jokingly waved her hand at Wang Weiye, saying: "This divine son, come to Mom's side and let Mom take a good look. This divine being isn't any different from others."

  Liu Dongmei's words made everyone in the house laugh. Wang He was really too familiar with his wife, and when he was young in the army, he was very mischievous and often made everyone laugh out loud. As long as Xiaosan was by her side, she would forget that she was a mother, and the two of them would often tease each other. That's why Xiaosan had been spoiled to be like this now.

  When Wang Weiye heard his mother's words, he immediately sat down beside Liu Dongmei with a plop, wrapped his two hands around Liu Dongmei's right arm, and rested his chin on Liu Dongmei's shoulder. Smiling at Liu Dongmei, he said: "Mom, it's been more than half a year since we last met, you've made progress again! If outsiders heard what you just said, they'd think those gods are your sons, haha..."

  Teased by her son, Liu Dongmei knew she had misspoken earlier and gently slapped Wang Weiye's cheek, saying affectionately: "Go ahead, dare to say it's not Mom's fault. You little brat, don't shift the focus, tell Mom when you learned from such a formidable master, and how come your dad and I didn't know about this?"

  Originally, Wang Weiye didn't plan to tell anyone about his martial arts background. But since he had already told his godfather, Wang Pu, it wasn't a secret anymore. And his parents and wife weren't outsiders, so Wang Weiye didn't have too many worries. Therefore, Wang Weiye sat up straight and said seriously: "Regarding my master's background, after you hear it, please don't be shocked or disbelieving. I guarantee to Chairman Mao that every word I say is true. If you feel it's strange and unbelievable after hearing it, then it's equivalent to me talking nonsense."

  Seeing his parents and wife nodding in agreement, Wang Weiye recounted the events that had occurred when he was seven years old.

  After listening to Wang Weiye's account, the three of them widened their eyes and stared at Wang Weiye. If it wasn't for Wang Weiye having already told them that what he was about to say was a bit strange, they wouldn't have believed it was true. Even if someone wrote it down, no one would dare write something like this.

  Liu Dongmei was not as calm as her husband, and after being surprised, she put her hand on Wang Weiye's forehead to check if her precious son was still running a fever. That huge piece of ancient jade had gone into his brain, this was simply like a fairy tale!

  After listening, Sima Youlan was surprised and couldn't figure out how Wang Weiye had acquired his extraordinary kung fu skills.

  Wang He knew the origin of that ancient jade, it was his old partner Zhao Long's family heirloom. If he hadn't recognized Wang Weiye as his godson, he would never have taken out this ancient jade. Although things were a bit strange, Wang He still believed what Wang Weiye said. Because Zhao Long had told him about the origin of this ancient jade before. But unexpectedly, the Zhao family had always wanted to solve the mystery of this ancient jade, but it was accidentally solved by his son, and the benefits were also obtained by his son. Thinking of this, Wang He couldn't help but burst out laughing...

  As for Wang Weiye's words, the family members basically accepted them. However, Wang He had always had a question in his mind, that is, what kind of person was the godfather recognized by Wei Ye? Why did he have such great power and dare to disregard national laws, agreeing that Wei Ye could marry several wives. This question had never been answered, so Wang He asked Wang Weiye: "Wei Ye, tell us, what does your godfather do?"

  Even Sima Youlan wanted to know what this stinky vagabond's godfather did. She only knew that Wei Ye's godfather was the special envoy from the General Staff, but what specific person he was, not even she and her father knew.

  Wang Weiye didn't directly answer his father's question, but instead took out a certificate from the pocket of his shirt and handed it to him, saying: "Dad, take a look at this first, then I'll tell you what my godfather does."

  Although Wang He held an important position, he had never seen a document without a department name. Curiously, he opened the document and when Wang Weiye's photo and the name of China's Special Intelligence Section 11 appeared before his eyes, Wang He was shocked.

  As the secretary of the Provincial Politics and Law Committee, he certainly knew about this department. However, where this department was located was only known by the top leaders, and it was also a state secret that was not publicly disclosed. All high-ranking party and government officials knew about this department in their hearts, but only a few people had seen the person from this department. With this certificate, whoever held it could see anyone or any department without being blocked, even the secretary of the Provincial Politics and Law Committee would have to obey orders when meeting someone holding this certificate.

  Wang He never expected that in his lifetime, he would see this document again, and yet it was from his son's hands. He thought to himself: This department isn't something just anyone can join casually, how did Little Wei manage to join? Could it be because of his godfather? If so, then Little Wei's godfather must be a very influential person.

  After all, Wang He had seen big scenes before. He calmly returned the documents to Wang Weiye and said, "Put the documents away safely, don't lose them."

  Wang Weiye took the documents, and just as he was about to put them in his pocket. Liu Dongmei, who was sitting next to him, snatched them away. She didn't notice the words on the cover of the documents either, and opened them to take a look.

  Wang He wanted to stop his wife's actions, but it was already too late. However, he thought about it and realized that his wife, as a high-ranking government official, knew what Xiao Wei was doing, so she could rest assured and didn't need to constantly worry about it.

  Wang Weiye did not expect his mother's hands to be so fast, he immediately wanted to take the documents back, but he was also afraid that his mother would not be happy. Seeing that his father had not stood up to stop his mother's actions, Wang Weiye felt relieved.

  Due to the nature of Liu Dongmei's work, she had no idea what the Eleventh Bureau of Special Intelligence was. But as soon as she saw Wang Weiye's photo and his position below it, she exclaimed in surprise: "You little scoundrel, where did you get this ID from? And how dare you show it to your old man! Why didn't you just choose a normal job title? Deputy Director, enjoying military cadre treatment... Haha..., son, your mom is almost dying of laughter. Look at the terms on here, they're all so intimidating, this is basically a license to kill without consequences. You little scoundrel, hurry up and put it away, but whatever you do, don't let anyone see it, or they'll laugh their heads off!"

  Wang He saw how his wife was speaking, and he couldn't help but think to himself: "Hmph, truly long hair, short sight." Those high and mighty figures who hold real power, not a single one of them wouldn't be afraid if they were to see this document on a certain day. If they were to see this document, it would mean that there must be a problem with them. Tonight, he'll remind her again, the document she saw earlier was real, and absolutely don't go spreading rumors outside.

  Wang Weiye saw his mother hand him his work permit, and he immediately put the document in his pocket. He joked: "Mom, you mustn't go outside and tell others about this. If outsiders hear it, they'll laugh at your son, and then your son will lose face when going out."

  "Alright, alright, you kid. Even if your old mom is foolish, she won't nag you about this, it's not a big deal." Liu Dongmei had no interest in her son's documents, all she cared about was his marriage.
