Huang Dan was taken to Nie Wenyuan’s office. As soon as he got there, there was the sound of a cup being knocked over, accompanied by an angry roar.

“Wenyuan, we have been friends for so many years, are you really going to stand by and watch?”

Huang Dan stopped in his tracks, and the two people who brought him over also stopped, struggling, wanting to hear but not daring to listen.

The two of them struggled for less than a minute before throwing away their curiosity and hastily said to Huang Dan, “You wait here.” Then they rubbed the soles of their feet with oil, and their figures quickly disappeared into the corridor, afraid to walk slowly and hearing things they shouldn’t have, and losing their job.

Huang Dan frowned, and he once again learned about Nie Wenyuan’s methods from the side.

As a person without parents, apart from colleagues at work, Huang Dan only has a housekeeper in his life. He has no relatives, so he doesn’t know what that kind of getting along with is like, and he has never experienced it.

Huang Dan searched the memory of the original owner. To him, his Jiujiu had always been a very serious person, full of majesty. He didn’t dare to joke in front of his Jiujiu. He was envious of his Jiejie and Xiaowei who could sit on his lap and act coquettishly.

From the time the original owner could remember, his Jiujiu had never had a falling out with anyone, had never fought with anyone, and had never been close to anyone. The only thing he was afraid of was his Jiujiu, afraid of being taught a lesson.

Whenever the original owner wanted to cause trouble, Nie Youxiang would use his Jiujiu to scare him. When he grew up and his skin hardened, the effect of just a name gradually diminished. Person was so busy that he didn’t have time to come and discipline him personally.

Otherwise, the original owner would not have committed crimes with a few friends and went to the labor camp.

Huang Dan’s thoughts came back, he took two steps forward, his ears were almost pressed against the office door.

Across the door, Liu Quanwu’s voice rang again, and his emotions calmed down a bit, “You know, my Didi took all the family money into his own pocket, and went to City B secretly by himself, and now my dad have already been laid off, if I lose my job again, the family will not be able to open the pot.”

“Wenyuan, I’ve heard about your work in W City, and I know that you’ve been doing well over the years, and you’ve made friends with a few officials, and based on your relationship with Boss Qiu, he won’t disapprove of you either.”

Huang Dan heard Nie Wenyuan say, “The policy has changed, and it is now in the implementation stage, and there are still variables in the future.”

Liu Quanwu lost his temper again, clenched his hands into fists and thumped the desk heavily, “Fuck the policy, what’s the difference between you, Nie Wenyuan and local tyrant in T city? If you want to do something, why don’t you just move your fingers and someone will do it for you?”

Huang Dan pursed his lips, Nie Wenyuan didn’t care about personal relationships, but only cared about principles.

Liu Quanwu breathed heavily, “I know you don’t like my gambling all the time, you have scolded me a lot before, your big principles bothered me, and I couldn’t understand them either. But I could tell at that time that you looked down on me from the bottom of your heart and thought that I would be finished if I got involved in gambling for the rest of my life.”

“Wenyuan, that was many years ago. I have lost two fingers and have scars on my face. The price is not low. I have quit gambling since then. I haven’t even touched cards in the past few years. If you don’t believe it, you can ask my dad and old Wang.”

Huang Dan didn’t hear Nie Wenyuan speak, only Liu Quanwu said, “If you don’t have time to meet with Boss Qiu, just call him, or write me a recommendation letter. If I join the New Century project, I can also save money to marry a wife and let my dad have a fat grandson. Don’t you think so?”

The office was quiet for two or three minutes before Nie Wenyuan’s voice sounded, “Where were you the night Xiaowei had the accident?”

Huang Dan sticks closer.

Liu Quanwu lost his temper for the third time, lost control of his emotions, and was full of swear words, “Fuck you, Nie Wenyuan, what do you mean? Are you suspicious of your friend?”

“Xiaowei grew up under my watch. During the years you went to W City to develop, I was the one who protected her. What happened to her last month made me feel worse than you!”

Nie Wenyuan said, “She is neither related to you nor a friend of yours.”

Liu Quanwu’s face turned blue with anger, “Nie Wenyuan, did someone say this to you? We are friends, and Xiaowei is your niece. Can I ignore it?”

His eyes were bloodshot, “There is one time, Xiaowei ran away from home after a quarrel with her family. I was the one who got the news and searched the streets and alleys of T City overnight. I found her and brought her home. Do you know that if I were like her family and waited for dawn to find her, she would have been given……”

Nie Wenyuan said, “It’s unnecessary for you to be so agitated.”

Liu Quanwu sneered, the muscles on his face trembled, “Unnecessary? My fucking lungs are about to explode. Do you know why I hate scholars? It’s just like you, you keep your words hidden, and your mouth says one thing, and has another thing in mind!”

Nie Wenyuan said, “I found something.”

Liu Quanwu immediately asked, “What did you find?”

Nie Wenyuan said, “You haven’t told me, where were you that night?”

“I told you so much, it’s all nonsense, right? If you doubt me, let someone arrest me. Anyway, you are very capable now, and you don’t take your former friends seriously!”

Following Liu Quanwu’s roar, the movement inside disappeared. Huang Dan suddenly heard a series of footsteps coming towards the door. He ran away just before the door opened. He turned his back and stood at the end of the corridor, panting slightly.

Seeing the young man in the corridor, Liu Quanwu’s complexion changed, he forced a smile, the scar on his face twisted and became more ugly, “It’s Xiao Yu who came, ah!”

Huang Dan turned around and said, “Quanwu Shushu.”

Liu Quanwu stared for a few seconds, then he shouted into the office, “Wenyuan, your nephew is here!”

Huang Dan walked over, his breath had returned to normal, and there was fine sweat on his forehead, hidden in his hair.

The office was quite spacious, and the layout was compact and orderly. A tea cup overturned on the table, and the tea inside was spilled everywhere. Nie Wenyuan was sitting next, with his long legs crossed, holding a purple clay pot cup in his hand, drinking tea slowly, like a resting tiger.

Liu Quanwu stretched out his hands to rub the young man’s damp hair, “Xiao Yu, when did you come?”

Huang Dan pinched his fingers. He wanted to say that just arrived, but Nie Wenyuan and Liu Quanwu would check with someone to verify. To be honest, they would suspect that he was eavesdropping.

At this moment, Nie Wenyuan’s cup was placed on the table, and the smile on Liu Quanwu’s face froze for a moment with just that action, “Then you guys talk.”

Huang Dan turned sideways and gave way to Liu Quanwu.

When Liu Quanwu rubbed shoulders with the young man, he rubbed the top of his hair again, “It’s raining heavily outside, But you don’t stay at home, and run around if you have nothing to do, and you won’t be afraid of being swept away by the flood.”

Huang Dan came at the wrong time, but it was also the right time. He got a few pieces of information. First, Nie Wenyuan was suspicious of Liu Quanwu. Second, Liu Quanwu took care of Xiaowei, and the two became close. Third, Liu Quanwu showed signs of concealment. Fourth, Nie Wenyuan is investigating Xiaowei’s matter.

Nie Wenyuan leaned back on the chair, put his hands on his abdomen, and intertwined his fingers, “What are you doing at Jiujiu’s place?”

After Huang Dan hesitated for a second or two, he decided to tell the truth. He started when he heard others talking about Xiao Wei in the bar, “I watched that person enter the factory.”

Urgency to urinate was an excuse. The man realized that he was quick to talk and said things he shouldn’t have said. He was afraid of getting into trouble, so he took the opportunity to leave. He didn’t go anywhere. He came directly here. He should be a worker in a certain workshop.

Nie Wenyuan frowned as he listened, “Did you see his appearance clearly?”

Huang Dan nodded, “I saw clearly.”

Nie Wenyuan made a phone call, and everyone in the factory gathered, including the cook in the canteen, the security guard at the gate, even the deputy director and the factory manager.

The factory director was very respectful to Nie Wenyuan, but he was also wary. He asked Nie Wenyuan, calling everyone, if there was anything wrong, without the slightest impatience in his words.

Huang Dan once again saw Nie Wenyuan’s influence.

Nie Wenyuan stood upright, and one could take a measuring tape to measure at any time. He seemed to have a rope tied to his head and feet. When the rope was pulled, it became very tight. Standing among several hunched-over people, he looked out of place, “Point it out.”

Knowing that the words were addressed to him, Huang Dan began to look carefully from the first row, and looked back from row to row. After a while, he stood in front of the last person in the last row, his face not very good.

“Jiujiu, is everyone here?”

Nie Wenyuan didn’t care about this. He glanced at the middle-aged woman standing behind the factory director.

The middle-aged woman hurriedly checked them one by one, and reported the result of the check, “Director, everyone is here.”

Huang Dan whispered to Nie Wenyuan, “I didn’t see Quanwu Shushu.”

What he meant was that people were not there.

Nie Wenyuan returned to the office, leaving everyone confused and wondering what happened. They just hoped that the factory would be good and not let them get laid off.

The factory manager walked away.

As soon as they left, the deputy director cleared his throat and waved his hand, “That’s it, everyone go and do your own thing.”

The team leaders of the several workshops didn’t leave, and asked the deputy director in a hurry. It was strange that the director was in and out just now, and felt that something was about to happen.

The deputy director flicked the non-existent dust on his coat, raised his chin and said, “Time is money and life. There is only one thing for you to do, and that is to stick to your job and complete the work you are assigned to!”

The seriousness on his face disappeared, “Does it look like it?”

Several people shook their heads in unison, “It doesn’t look like that.”

The face is not the same, the appearance is different, the temperament is too different, the body does not have that kind of righteousness, and when has the director ever spoken like that? It’s like giving a speech.

The deputy director’s face darkened, and he waved his hands to let a few people go. He walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and said to himself, “Nie Wenyuan, my hair turned gray because of this seat. Why do you get to sit down as soon as you come back?”

The deputy director became angry as soon as he said it. He sprayed a large amount of saliva and snorted from his nose, “Haven’t you ever heard that big trees attract wind? You kid, be careful to be uprooted!”

The door to the office was closed, and the clock on the wall was ticking. Thanks to it, there was no dead silence.

Nie Wenyuan sorted out several documents on the table, and flipped the globe next to him, “Speak.”

Huang Dan thought for a while, “Jiujiu, can you give me paper and pen?”

Nie Wenyuan gave him both.

Huang Dan could tell that Nie Wenyuan’s pen was well made and not cheap. He held it with his hand and drew a stroke on the paper. There was not much ink left, but it was enough to draw a face.

Nie Wenyuan said, “Jiujiu really didn’t expect that Xiao Yu could draw.”

Huang Dan didn’t respond, and lowered his eyes to draw all the details of the face. After he finished drawing, he put the cap on the pen, and pushed both the paper and the pen in front of Nie Wenyuan.

Nie Wenyuan picked up the paper and looked at it, “Is this the person?”

Huang Dan said, “I’ve just seen it, so I’ve deep impression of it. I can’t go wrong with it.”

Nie Wenyuan threw the paper on the table and clicked it with his fingers. “Okay, now tell your Jiujiu, when did you learn to draw?”

Huang Dan said, “From the start.”

Nie Wenyuan held the pen and played with it, “You were slapped by the teacher when you first went to school, and you got a long snot when you came home. Your mother asked Jiujiu to go to school to ask about the situation. Your teacher said that you couldn’t even write the Arabic numeral 1. Others write a line vertically, but you insist on adding a horizontal line on top, and you can’t turn a corner no matter what.”

“You don’t like reading, let alone painting. You can’t even tell a horse from an ox. Now that you say you’ve always been good at painting, Jiujiu is surprised.”

The corners of Huang Dan’s eyes twitched. Nie Wenyuan’s memory was so good that he felt like he had met his opponent. He didn’t say anything, but looked at him with an unspeakable look, as if he was peeling off the layer that the opponent was wearing, trying to see if what is hidden underneath is something he was familiar with.

Although the buttocks are familiar to Huang Dan, it was not directly related to the task the previous few times, but this time it was the task issuer, and he needed to confirm it through other methods.

Nie Wenyuan looked directly at the young man, “Why do you look at Jiujiu like this?”

Huang Dan lowered his eyelids and quickly suppressed the emotions in his eyes. He acted as a good honest boy and said, “I heard the conversation between Jiujiu and Quanwu Shushu.”

Nie Wenyuan put the pen back into the drawer and closed the drawer with force, “It seems that Jiujiu is getting old and can’t keep up with Xiao Yu’s ideas.”

Huang Dan, “……”

He explained his sudden change of temperament, “Because of me, my Ge and my Jie were both implicated. I thought about it, I can’t go on like this in the future, and I won’t accomplish anything if I mess around.”

Nie Wenyuan raised his eyebrows, “Are you enlightened?”

Huang Dan’s body was still tense, and he felt that the man didn’t believe him, so he had to use the second reason, “I also want to enter the New Century project.”

This world is very strange. In order to achieve a certain goal, a person can treat others as a grandson, or he can give up his qualifications as a human and become a dog. Just
becoming honest is nothing.

Nie Wenyuan didn’t care about the truth or falsehood of his words, “Wait here.”

He stood up, took the paper on the table and walked out.

There is only Huang Dan left in the office. If he fumbles around, with Nie Wenyuan’s strict and cautious temperament, he will definitely find it. It is safe for him to search with his eyes and will not leave any clues.

It was raining all the time, and Huang Dan stood by the window, watching the water marks left by the rain on the glass, he asked in his heart, “Mr. Lu, it started to rain heavily the night I came, and it hasn’t stopped until now. I am worried that there will be problems with the Yangtze River flood control project.”

System said, “Host Huang, your mission here is not to fight the flood. Don’t bother thinking about irrelevant things. If you have the energy, you might as well investigate the suspect.”

Huang Dan, “If the flood comes to T City, the place where I live will suffer.”

System, “Yes, so you have to hurry up.”

Huang Dan，“……”

He had just arrived, and he hadn’t even seen the victim’s face. He had only gotten to know the people around the original owner, and there was nothing he could do even if he wanted to hurry up.

Don’t know how long it took, but Nie Wenyuan came back. There was a large piece of wetness on his chest. The blue vertical striped shirt was close to his chest, and his muscular lines were faintly visible. He had a fierce and explosive power that was inconsistent with his upright temperament.

Huang Dan guessed that Nie Wenyuan had found the other party through the face he drew and knew the situation.

After Huang Dan added fuel to the flames, his eldest nephew Chen Fei attracted Nie Wenyuan’s attention, and he would investigate it carefully.

Huang Dan’s goal was achieved, and he didn’t care whether that man was from the factory or a relative of someone else. He said nothing, waiting for Nie Wenyuan to speak.

Nie Wenyuan ignored the existence of his nephew. Starting from the top button, he unbuttoned it one by one, took off the wet shirt, and wiped the water off his body with a dry towel.

Huang Dan stood not far behind, his eyes were full of the man’s slender back, and his exposed healthy upper body, wide shoulders, straight back and narrow waist, and his hips hooked by trousers.

The body proportions are impeccable, and he looks like a veteran cadre who has been sitting in the office for a long time, just having a cup of tea and reading a newspaper when he has nothing to do……

In fact, Huang Dan didn’t care about other people’s looks and figures. The first time he traveled to the world, he saw a man’s buttocks. Later, every time he traveled, he would subconsciously look at them with a sense of exploration and scrutiny.

Huang Dan thought about the reason why he paid attention to a man’s buttocks, but he couldn’t think of it. Maybe it was because the other person grew up exactly the way he liked it, and there was no reason to dislike it.

While Huang Dan was distracted, Nie Wenyuan had already put on a clean pullover. He picked up the briefcase and put the wet shirt in, “Let’s go.”

Huang Dan followed Nie Wenyuan.

It was raining heavily outside, and not a single person was walking.

After Nie Wenyuan got into the car, Huang Dan also bent down and sat beside him.

The driver in front was in his forties, with a kind face, which made people feel friendly. He didn’t speak, but glanced at the young man in the back seat from the rearview mirror, and unfortunately the other party also looked over.

The driver was stunned, and nodded quickly as a greeting.

Huang Dan withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at the driver. It was unsafe to drive in heavy rain and he couldn’t disturb the other party.

As the car exited the factory gate, Nie Wenyuan leaned against the back of the seat and took out his mobile phone, pressing a string of numbers with his fingers.

Huang Dan glanced over and saw that Nie Wenyuan’s mobile phone was a Motorola with a black and white screen. He learned from the memory of the original owner that the mobile phone cost five or six thousand, and that it cost two or three hundred a month.

Ordinary people simply can’t afford it or use it.

Huang Dan looked at the buildings blurred by the water curtain outside the window. This was an era of economic instability. The temperature of the economy was constantly changing, hot and cold. The ordinary people were less affected, but the lives of officials and bosses were hanging by a thread. The first line is tantamount to making a lot of money on the edge of a cliff, and if one is not careful, they will slip and fall, and their body will be smashed to pieces.

Nie Wenyuan’s phone was connected, and he half-closed his eyes to talk to the other end, without any scruples about the presence of his little nephew, “Qiu Dage, it’s me.”

Huang Dan didn’t show any change in his expression. His head was still tilted toward the window, as if he wasn’t interested in the phone call.

The phone call lasted for a short time and ended with Nie Wenyuan coming out to get together. He threw the phone into his briefcase and rubbed his temples without saying a word.

Huang Dan was thinking about who the person surnamed Qiu was. There was no relevant information in the memory of the original owner, which made him unable to refer to it at present, so he could only guess.

Among the famous big shots in T City are Nie Wenyuan and Wang Ming. There is no one with the surname Qiu, which means he is an outsider and his identity is relatively secretive. He is a low-key dignitary and is unknown to ordinary people.

A wisp of smoke wafted into Huang Dan’s nostrils. He turned his head to look, and saw the man smoking a cigarette with a skillful posture. He had been smoking for no less than ten years.

Huang Dan noticed the cigarette case on Nie Wenyuan’s lap. The cigarettes he smoked were very ordinary. They were eight cents a box of black camellia, which was extremely inconsistent with his status.

It rained heavily, and the wheels got stuck in the water. As they drove, water splashed all the way.

Someone was riding a bicycle in front, swaying, don’t know if it’s because he drank too much, or the waterway is not easy to walk on.

The driver’s pupils shrank, the car braked suddenly, the car body tilted, and the danger came without warning. Huang Dan in the back seat should have crashed into Nie Wenyuan next to him because of inertia, and Nie Wenyuan would have hit the door and hit his head on the glass window.

Huang Dan threw himself forward before the flash, and opened his arms to protect Nie Wenyuan in front of him.

It was an instinctive reaction. When the body received the signal, the brain had already done it before it had time to think.

Huang Dan’s head felt like a heavy blow and he almost fainted.

The car body struggled in the rain and fell back to the ground heavily. Huang Dan raised his body uncontrollably and hit his head on the roof of the car. It was so painful that stars appeared in his eyes and he let out a cry.

Huang Dan’s arm was clasped by a big hand, and the force pulled him down, and he sat on the man’s lap, crying out in pain.

After the car stabilized, the driver was covered in cold sweat and his whole body was soaked. He wiped his face and wanted to speak, but his throat was so dry that he couldn’t make a sound. He could only freeze on the seat and listen to the crying behind him.

Nie Wenyuan’s lips straightened, “Why are you crying?”

Huang Dan cried and said, “Jiujiu, I feel pain.”

Nie Wenyuan frowned, “Have you hit your head hard?”

Huang Dan’s shoulders trembled, tears kept falling, his whole face turned red from crying, and his body was shaking.

The car stopped where it was, and the only sound in the cramped space was the suppressed sobbing of the young man.

The driver stared straight ahead, unblinking.

Nie Wenyuan’s pants were wet in several places, he patted the young man on his lap, “Xiao Yu.”

That voice was not tenderness, but impatience. Huang Dan heard it. He moved from the man’s lap to the side, lowered his head and continued to cry. He kept crying for a long time, and the ointment provided by Mr. Lu only relieved pain on his head.

The points of the fly cabinet are running out, perhaps he will hover between life and death in this world.

Nie Wenyuan wiped his pants with a handkerchief, “When did you get this problem?”

Huang Dan’s voice was hoarse, “Huh?”

Nie Wenyuan couldn’t wipe his trousers dry, so he decided not to wipe them, and put the handkerchief back into his pocket, “Although Jiujiu works out of town, he will come back during the holidays. I’ve never seen you so squeamish.”

Huang Dan was stunned, “I’m just afraid of pain.”

“Afraid of pain?”

Nie Wenyuan thought about these words, and he seemed to smile, “You used to have a broken forehead and blood on your face, and you could still laugh and joke with others, sit in a food stall, drink a few bottles of beer, and ride home by yourself. Your father told your Jiujiu about this, saying that you were a man.”

Huang Dan said internally, I am now too.

He has only been through for two days, and he has been suspected again and again. The reason is that the temperament of the owner of this body is too different from his own temperament, and the original owner has many Xiongdi and Jiemei. In a very large family, if one person becomes suspicious, the others will know it. This is a situation he has never experienced before.

Huang Dan frowned, his mind was racing, and he came up with an excuse for himself.

He can’t do without looking, firstly he can’t act, and secondly he can’t impersonate others, he tried it in the first world, it really didn’t work, so he had to find another way.

“I don’t know what’s going on. I was not afraid of pain before, but now I am so afraid of pain that I am dying.”

Nie Wenyuan was inexplicably repulsed by that dead word.

Huang Dan sensed that the man’s breath was not right, so he closed his mouth.

The conversation in the car stopped, and the driver restarted the car, this time very carefully, and the speed was not much faster than that of a bicycle.

When he arrived at the place, Huang Dan opened his umbrella and got out of the car. His shoes stepped into the water, and his trouser legs were soaked in an instant. He waved his hand like last night, “I’m going back, goodbye, Jiujiu.”

As the car drove forward, the young man in the rearview mirror became increasingly blurry and soon became invisible.

The driver drove the car and organized his words, “Director, when braking suddenly, your nephew used his body to protect you. He is a good boy, different from the rumors.”

Nie Wenyuan smoked the remaining few puffs of his cigarette, “The surrounding terrain is safe and there will be no serious problems.”

The driver licked his lips, “The situation was so sudden that I couldn’t even predict it after driving for more than 20 years, let alone your nephew, he was really protecting you with his own life.”

Having said that, the driver thought about it, and simply said something more, “The kid committed a crime two years ago, but at that time he was still young and knew nothing, so he easily formed gangs with others and reformed through labor. He must have been taught correctly during the period, otherwise he would not have acted like that.”

“Director, everyone is the same these days. You only have one life. No matter how rich you are, you can’t have one more life. If you can use your own life to protect someone, then your heart will not be so bad.”

Nie Wenyuan’s fingers holding the cigarette moved slightly, “Then tell me, why did he do that?”

The driver was speechless.

He has lived to this age and has never seen or heard of any nephew who would risk his life to protect his Jiujiu. “Maybe your nephew is close to you and respects and loves you.”

Nie Wenyuan put out the cigarette butt, “My little nephew has been afraid of me, this Jiujiu, since he was a child. As soon as I went to his house, he behaved like a mouse seeing a cat. He didn’t dare to raise his head or say anything. But he kept talking in front of his friends, scolding me, this Jiujiu, as worthless, how can I get respect and love? Let alone closeness.”

The driver was stunned, what’s going on? He had witnessed what happened just now, so he joked, “Director, look at what you said, your nephew couldn’t have been replaced, right?”

“Maybe.”

Nie Wenyuan accidentally caught a glimpse of a figure, “Still dishonest.”

The driver didn’t understand at first, until he saw the young man in the alley ahead. The young man told he would go home, but he didn’t, and he lied.

Huang Dan did not go back, he went to see the victim Xiaowei.

The Nie family has a pair of Jiemei, Nie Youxiang is the eldest, Nie Xiuqin is the second child, patriarchal phenomenon is very common in T City, Mother Nie gave birth to the third child, which also satisfied the wishes of the family, a big fat boy, unfortunately when he was three years old, he fell into a pond and drowned.

The adoption of Nie Wenyuan back then, in a sense, fulfilled the Nie family’s wish to have a boy and made up for some regrets.

Although not a biological child, his surname has been changed to Nie after all.

Huang Dan wants to experience the sophistication of people in this world, so when he enters the door, he calls out, “Auntie.”

“Xiao Yu, it’s raining so hard, why did you come here?”

Nie Xiuqin sighed, “Look, your pants are all wet. Wait, I’ll get you a pair of my husband’s pants. You can wear them first to avoid catching a cold.”

Huang Dan took off his wet sneakers and stepped into the slippers. He sneezed, scratched the wet hair on his forehead, and his hands were wet.

There will be more rain this time.

The two Jiemei in the Nie family have completely different personalities. The eldest, Nie Youxiang, has a strong personality and is very face-saving. When outsiders are around, she will give her best. Even if her husband died, she would always give people a strong feeling of “I don’t need to rely on others.” The hidden side of her was only exposed in front of Nie Wenyuan. There was nothing she could do about it. She had to think about the future of her children.

Nie Xiuqin, on the other hand, is very weak. She has a bitter look, and she is the kind of woman who makes people feel pity even if she doesn’t open her mouth.

Huang Dan put on his pants and asked, “Auntie, is Xiaowei Jie okay?”

Nie Xiuqin’s eyes immediately turned red when her daughter was mentioned, “It’s not good. She just woke up. Go check on her.”

Huang Dan followed Nie Xiuqin to a room in the south.

He saw Xiaowei, who was even more beautiful than he had imagined. She was different from Chen Xiaorou’s gentleness, but her eyes were hollow and lacked any sparkle.

Zhou Weiwei is dancing, her toes pointing to the ground, spinning again and again, her body is as light as a feather or a grain of dust, her beauty is not aggressive, but very gentle.

Huang Dan did not break the tranquility. He flipped through the information he heard in the bar. Zhou Weiwei doesn’t look like an unforgiving person. Could it be that she had been stimulated and that’s why there were no traces of it?

Zhou Weiwei fell to the ground, and Nie Xiuqin hurriedly ran over to help her up, “Xiaowei, did you fall?”

The person involved did not respond and sat blankly.

Huang Dan stepped forward and helped Nie Xiuqin to help Zhou Weiwei onto the bed. He said, “Xiaowei Jie, I am Xiao Yu.”

Zhou Weiwei remained indifferent.

Huang Dan changed the words, “My Jie is Chen Xiaorou, my Ge is Chen Fei, you remember…”

Zhou Weiwei was still in a daze for a moment, but now she suddenly screamed loudly.

The sound was like a silver needle, piercing into Huang Dan’s eardrum. He was dizzy and when his hearing returned, Nie Xiuqin was pressing his daughter tightly, stuffing one hand in her mouth, and the blood flowed to the bed, dyeing it bright red.

Huang Dan’s eyelids twitched, “Auntie, please take your hand out quickly.”

Nie Xiuqin said she couldn’t take it out, and said tremblingly, “She……she will bite herself……”

Huang Dan came back after finding a towel and asked Nie Xiuqin to take out her hand. He pinched Zhou Weiwei’s chin and stuffed the towel inside.

Zhou Weiwei stopped moving again, as quiet as a doll.

Huang Dan took a breath, his back was completely wet.

Nie Wenyuan has two nephews and two nieces. He pays the most attention to Zhou Weiwei because Nie Xiuqin helped him when he was at a low point.

This time Zhou Weiwei had an accident, Nie Xiuqin cried and begged Nie Wenyuan to find out the real culprit and seek justice for her daughter.

Nie Xiuqin came out of her daughter’s room and simply covered the wound on her hand. This was not the first time. There were several scars on her other hand, deep and shallow, occupying a large area. They were all caused by her daughter after the mishap.

“Xiao Yu, thanks to you just now, why don’t you stay at aunt’s place for one night?”

Huang Dan refused.

He came out of the compound and walked to the entrance of the alley, where he was dragged into a car.

The whole process was done in one go, Huang Dan was unprepared, and when the car door slammed shut, his ears were buzzing.

Huang Dan rubbed his forehead, he forgot about Wang Ming.

Wang Ming sneered, “Boy, you shouldn’t forget about it once you collect the money? I see, you are like this. In a few days, you won’t know your last name anymore.”

Huang Dan ignored his cynicism and said, “What do you want from me?”

Wang Ming asked his aide to drive, he patted the young man on the shoulder, “I’m here to remind you.”

“It’s raining non-stop. I’m afraid you’ll just wander around in the rain and forget about me, Wang Ming. That would be bad, don’t you think?”

Huang Dan didn’t quite understand why Wang Ming was so anxious to drag Nie Wenyuan down? With his status, he doesn’t need to cling to the position of director.

“Wang Ge wants my Jiujiu’s position?”

Wang Ming jokes, “There are some things that you shouldn’t get involved in. I warned you when we reached an agreement, but there is one thing I can tell you. Your Jiujiu is not an ordinary person. Let me tell you this, among the people I know, when it comes to pretense, no one can compare to your Jiujiu.”

“He is involved in so many relationships, it’s going to bring him down. Don’t know how many people are going to compete for the meat on his body. You just have to wait and see the show.”

Huang Dan already had a rough idea in his mind, but he still asked, “Does my Jiujiu have other industries or other identities?”

Wang Ming said, “Are you curious? Then go back and ask your Jiujiu.”

Huang Dan，“……”

He thought that the ten thousand under the bed was just a hot potato. How about secretly giving it to Nie Wenyuan?

Wang Ming narrowed his eyes, “If you want to back off, give the money to your Jiujiu, and then tell him the whole story, saying that I forced you to do everything, and expect him to forgive you, then you can only say your two years of reform through labor are useless.”

Huang Dan said nothing.

There was hostility in Wang Ming’s eyes, “Boy, you have already boarded this boat. Back then, you were the one who came up by yourself. No one put a knife on your neck. Now it is impossible to get off the boat halfway.”

Huang Dan said, “Don’t threaten me, I’m not a child.”

Wang Ming was surprised. When he first found this person, he was easy to control. Now it is different. He can’t tell what has changed. It’s strange, “I changed my mind. You only have one month.”

Huang Dan said, “Impossible.”

Wang Ming treated it as he was farting, and kicked him out of the car when he finished speaking.

Huang Dan grabbed the car door while he was still in the car, “Wang Ge, can I ask you something?”

Wang Ming said, “Can’t.”

Huang Dan said, “My Jiujiu is looking into my cousin’s affairs, have you heard of it?”

Wang Ming said, “I’m not interested in the mess about that family.”

Huang Dan said, “I heard people say that Wang Ge and my cousin know each other……”

Wang Ming stretched out his arm, forced the car door open, and pushed the young man out.

The car drove away from Huang Dan, splashing water all over him and in his eyes. He wiped his face, rubbed his eyes, opened his umbrella and walked to his residence, combing through the clues he got.

“Wang Ge, that kid is a bit strange, do you want to send someone to follow?”

The young aide driving in front said, “It’s not done yet. If he takes the money and runs away, there will be trouble.”

Wang Ming said no need, “His family is in T City, so he can’t escape.”

“That’s right, Wang Ge is very thoughtful.”

The young aide said, “That boy’s Jiejie is so pretty. Her dancing figure is just different from other women.”

Wang Ming said lightly, “Why, are you interested in Chen Xiaorou?”

The air pressure in the car suddenly dropped, the young aide’s face turned pale, and he shook his head quickly, “Don’t dare, I’m just talking casually.”

Wang Ming returned to his normal posture, “Women’s bodies are all the same. If you want to play, go to Nanfeng and report my name. You can play with as many as you want.”

“Thank you so much, Wang Ge, for your kindness.”

The young aide never dared to mention the word Chen Xiaorou again.

A flood drowned the entire city of T. People who went to school and went to work rolled up their trouser legs and walked in the water. They got up from where they fell. The shoes were full of water, and it was very difficult to walk.

News broadcasts reported that the water level continued to increase, reminding citizens to cooperate with rescue measures and overcome this disaster together.

There are teams fighting against floods all over the country. There are pictures of the People’s Liberation Army sitting in trucks heading to a certain city, and there are also pictures of them carrying sandbags resolutely.

The yard of the original owner’s house was flooded, and no one could live on the first floor. Only Chen Xiaorou has a room on the second floor.

Nie Youxiang went out through the flood and called Nie Wenyuan from the landline of the small supermarket. She told Nie Wenyuan about the situation at home and hoped that they could stay there for a while and leave when the flood subsided.

Nie Wenyuan has several houses. Except for the allocated ones, he bought the rest himself. One of the houses is in a very favorable location and has not been affected at all.

Nie Youxiang waited until Nie Wenyuan verbally agreed, and she went back and told her son and daughter about it, “You pack up and go live with your Jiujiu.”

Chen Xiaorou said that she is going to the troupe, “Next month is the cultural performance, I have to speed up rehearsing.”

Nie Youxiang allowed her to go, the performance is important, “What about you, Xiao Fei and Xiao Yu?”

Chen Fei shook his head, “Forget it, I won’t go, I don’t feel comfortable living with my Jiujiu, it’s better to stay at home.”

He said, “Anyway, Xiaorou is going to the troupe, so I can stay in her room.”

It’s just that Huang Dan didn’t say anything.

Chen Fei said, “Xiaorou’s bed is not big, and two people can’t sleep on it. Xiao Yu, you go to Jiujiu’s place.”

Chen Xiaorou wanted to speak, but her Ge beat her to it. The meaning was similar. She didn’t want her Didi to live in her own room, and she hated it. She was afraid that the other party would mess around with her things, and break something, which would make everyone unhappy.

Nie Youxiang looked at her youngest son, “Jiujiu said that your aunt will take Xiaowei there tonight. It’s good if you go, you can help your aunt take care of her.”

Huang Dan noticed that the expressions of Chen Fei and Chen Xiaorou changed, “Okay, I’ll go to Jiujiu’s house.”

He couldn’t ask for more.

After packing a few sets of clothes, Huang Dan got on the barrel and floated out of the alley. He was pulled into a boat by the People’s Liberation Army and went to Nie Wenyuan’s home.
