Chapter 885

~7 min read 1,389 words

"Your body has just recovered; you must not get angry."

Zhengzheng's matter isn't really a matter; perhaps he has been out for a long time and has learned some outside ways.

"If he stays with us long enough, he may forget those outside things," Xiao Feng comforted me.

I listened to Xiao Feng's comfort, saying nothing,

took two drags and said, "Xiao Feng, Zhengzheng suddenly suggested going to Qi He Kuang, and I always feel something's off.

When you get to Qi He Kuang, you must watch him closely; don't let him act recklessly."

"I know, once he's at Qi He Kuang, there's nowhere for him to act recklessly. Rest assured, Jianqiang, you're just too cautious, even guarding your own son," Xiao Feng laughed.

"It's not guarding; it just makes people feel uncomfortable.

Anyway, it makes people feel weird.

Fine, since Ya Ling has already given it to him, just give it to him.

These assets are the years of savings of Ya Ling and Shi Yong; I never expected them to end up in this kid's hands." I lit another cigarette.

"Zhengzheng is your son; having it fall into his hands isn't bad—it's better than falling into an outsider's hands."

Tomorrow, I'll take Zhengzheng back to Qi He Kuang.

And you, stay healthy here as well.

"By the way, over at Xianggang, you should ask about the situation. I'm really worried," Xiao Feng said.

"Don't worry, I'll contact Tian Shi tomorrow. They've been gone too long," I said.

"Yeah. How come there's not a single reply?" Xiao Feng just sighed.

The phone rang,

Xiao Feng looked at the phone, saw an unknown number, and didn't want to answer.

After a pause, the unknown number rang again.

I said to Xiao Feng, "Pick up; if it's a nuisance call, they wouldn't call twice."

Xiao Feng answered,

and Ding Li's voice came through the line,

"Xiao Feng, this is Ding Li."

"Ding Li, it's you. I finally have your news; do you know how worried I am about you?"

"How are you now?" Xiao Feng asked hurriedly.

"How should I tell you? Anyway, I'm safe now. Sigh, when I get back I'll explain everything in detail."

"I mainly wanted to report my safety to you," Ding Li said on the phone.

"That's great; as long as you're safe, that's all I need. I was so worried about you."

I was just discussing with Zhao Ge; tomorrow we'll have him contact Tian Shi to try.

If it really doesn't work, we'll go to Xianggang to take a look." Xiao Feng said, tears streaming down.

It seems she truly worries about Ding Li.

"Zhao Ge, give the phone to him; I have a couple of words for him," Ding Li said to Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng then handed the phone to me.

After I took the phone,

"Ding Li, this is Jianqiang. When are you coming back?"

"Zhao Ge, as soon as I get a ticket, I can quickly return to Zaocheng," Ding Li said.

"Ding Li, what exactly happened in Xianggang? Why did it take so long? Also, are you returning on your own or with them?" I asked.

"Zhao Ge, the matters here are too complicated to explain in a few sentences over the phone. When I get back, I'll give you a detailed explanation."

"I'm coming back alone; Tian Shi and the others still need some time," Ding Li said.

"I never imagined it would be so complicated."

Fine, as long as you can return safely, that's more important than anything.

We've been unable to reach you for a long time; we were very anxious.

We've never known what happened to you in Xianggang,

I asked Xiao Long, but Xiao Long could only mutter incomprehensibly.

Then we'll wait for you to return and discuss everything in detail," I said on the phone.

"Alright, Zhao Ge, then I'll wait until I get back and tell you the details," Ding Li said before hanging up.

After Ding Li hung up,

I said to Xiao Feng, "Ding Li is back; you don't need to worry about anything."

Xiao Feng smiled happily,

"Jianqiang, tonight I can finally sleep well. These past days I haven't slept properly.

Every night has been a nightmare; I was so worried about Ding Li."

"Ding Li has become your spiritual support. Xiao Feng, from now on I will be at ease," I said with a smile.

"Based on what you said, actually women over forty need a man to rely on even more."

"Indeed, finding a man to share life with is the happiest way for a woman in her second half," Xiao Feng said proudly.

"By the way, He Zuming performed Divination for Ding Li; he said that Ding Li and you can not only achieve a happy union, but also bear a plump son."

"Xiao Feng, your future days will be happy," I said, looking at Xiao Feng.

"You stinky Jianqiang, don't listen to Mr. He's nonsense. That's enough, I won't keep chatting with you. Tomorrow morning I'll take Zhengzheng and go to Qi He Kuang," Xiao Feng said, feigning anger.

"Xiao Feng, taking Zhengzheng is fine, but some matters can't be left to Zhengzheng too much; do you understand what I mean?" I said.

"I understand, don't worry. Jianqiang, good night." Xiao Feng finished, stood up, opened the door and left.

I sent Little Phoenix out the door.

I went back into the room alone.

I took out another cigarette and started smoking.

Zhengzheng came back to shout directions to Shi Yong, and his behavior made me a bit angry.

This kid values money too much.

When he saw the bank card Ya Ling gave him, a greedy look flashed in his eyes,

truly chilling.

I didn't expect that over the past year this kid has changed drastically while out.

Ya Ling gave all their assets to Zhengzheng; what will Zhengzheng do if he later doesn't recognize her?

You have to know that this kid's attitude toward money means he can do anything.

I really worry that this kid has gone astray.

The reason for my worry is that Zhengzheng's mother, Hui Ling, is a woman who disowns even her closest relatives and will do anything for money.

I truly fear this kid inherits some of his mother's flaws.

One must know that kindness can be inherited, and likewise evil can be inherited.

A person's virtue or vice relates to the upbringing environment and also heavily to his parents. Genetic inheritance is powerful.

Many people reject my lineage theory; you can look at those around you, see what kind of people the parents are and what kind of children they produce.

Of course this cannot be generalized; I'm only speaking of the majority.

Why in past marriages did both parties inquire about each other's families.

It is through their parents that one judges what kind of person the partner will be.

Zhengzheng suddenly returned and abruptly suggested going to Qi He Kuang,

I always feel something is off.

What is this kid thinking?

I cannot guess.

Forget it, don't think about him; after all, this kid sent Shi Yong away, which also settles a big concern of mine.

Soon Ding Li will return, and then I can learn exactly what is happening over in Xianggang.

Having been busy with Shi Yong's affairs, I haven't had the mood to contact Xiao Long.

It seems Xianggang is not as peaceful as I imagined.

What worries me most is that some people see profit and forget righteousness.

In real society we encounter far too many such cases.

Do not underestimate the evil in human nature. Humans are beings where good and evil coexist.

In a good environment, kindness emerges, making a good person.

Likewise, under great temptation, evil reveals itself,

For profit, one can commit any wrongdoing.

That is human nature,

When rare goods are not seen, the people's hearts stay orderly; the ancestors over two thousand years ago already assessed human nature.

I only hope Tian Shi, Zhu Sheng, and Xiao Long can return safely. Thinking of that, after a quick wash I lay on the bed.

The thunderous snoring that once filled my side is no longer there.

I hope I can meet Shi Yong in my dreams and ask whether he is happy down there.
