Chapter 928: Return to the Provincial Capital to Meet Zhu Sheng

After coming out of Wang Ge's study,

I happened to run into Shen Honghong.

Shen Honghong looked at me and said, "Jianqiang, you're just leaving like this."

"If I don't leave like this, how else could I leave? Take care, Honghong." I said with a smile.

"I don't mean that; I mean, when you go to Shi Yong's grave to make offerings, burn a couple more sheets of paper for him,

"These two sheets are what I burned for him." Shen Honghong said sadly.

"Thank you, and you still remember Shi Yong brother,

"Shi Yong brother would also be very happy underground."

"Honghong, I'm leaving, I also have a suggestion,

"I feel you are a very good host,

"You should continue doing hosting, or a job related to hosting."

"It's still better to rely on oneself to make a living." I finished speaking and extended my hand.

After Shen Honghong heard me finish speaking,

she smiled,

"Thank you for your suggestion, I will consider it."

I shook hands with Shen Honghong, then hurriedly left Wang Ge's villa.

Arriving at the villa gate,

Ding Li was waiting for me in the car,

Seeing me come out, he hurriedly got out and opened the car door,

"Brother, you've finally come back."

"I've been anxious out here."

"Don't worry, Ding Li, Wang Ge only feels gratitude toward me." I said with a smile.

"Are we going back to Zaocheng?" Ding Li asked.

"No, back to the Provincial Capital; I want to meet Zhu Sheng and talk." I said.

"Okay." Ding Li started the car, and we drove toward the Provincial Capital.

On the road I was thinking of Shen Honghong, not expecting her to still remember Shi Yong,

Shi Yong, aware underground, would surely be overjoyed.

You know that in the past there had been some not-so-good circumstances between Shi Yong and Shen Honghong.

Considering that she can think of Shi Yong, I deliberately reminded Shen Honghong,

namely, hoping she could leave Wang Ge sooner,

otherwise, if something happens later, she would be inept.

I don't know whether she heard it.

Don't look at her enjoying happiness now; as long as Wang Ge falls from power,

that pain will be repaid double.

I was thinking that, and soon I started to doze off in the car.

I actually saw Shi Yong; he was right in front of me,

with a dark face, revealing an innocent smile,

"Brother, what are you busy with now? Why didn't you call me?"

Shi Yong said,

I wanted to speak, but couldn't get the words out,

I could only look at Shi Yong.

Shi Yong looked at me angrily,

"Brother, from now on you must call me for anything."

"Shi Yong, how did you come? You aren't dead, are you?" I thought.

Just then the car jolted on the road,

I suddenly woke up, and Shi Yong was gone.

I suddenly dreamed of Shi Yong.

It's really strange.

Perhaps it was Shen Honghong's stimulation that made me dream of Shi Yong, or Shi Yong also received stimulation from Shen Honghong and jumped from underground into my dream.

This Shi Yong, really, if I hadn't seen Shen Honghong today I would never have dreamed of him.

Thinking this, I laughed.

If Shi Yong brother were alive, that would be great.

Too bad, he left too early.

Sigh, I let out a long breath.

"Brother, what's wrong, why are you sighing?" Ding Li asked while driving.

"Oh, I just saw Shen Honghong at Wang Ge's place." I said.

"Shen Honghong, this woman wasn't supposed to be inside. How did she come out?" Ding Li asked.

"Yeah, maybe Wang Ge used other means to let her come out early. No blame, this woman is not bad, still thinking of Shi Yong, and letting me burn extra paper for Shi Yong when I make offerings, two more sheets, one of which is hers." I said.

"Then my Shi Yong brother wouldn't be unhappy to die, to be remembered by such a great beauty—even death would be worth it." Ding Li laughed.

"What nonsense, what does 'death is worth it' mean? Ding Li, your thinking is not right." I criticized Ding Li.

"Brother, I misspoke." Ding Li hurriedly explained.

"Right, Ding Li, how are you and Xiao Feng doing? Did you get your certificate?" I asked, concerned.

"Brother, we've done it, we are already legally married." Ding Li said happily.

"Oh, such happy news, why not invite me for a drink?" I said.

"Xiao Feng said we should keep a low profile; we've been through so much, we don't want to make a big deal." Ding Li said.

"Alright, there's too much going on right now; after we finish these things, I'll arrange for you the most grand wedding in Zaocheng." I said happily.

"Okay, thank you, brother." Ding Li said.

We had almost reached the Provincial Capital by evening; coincidentally, Zhu Sheng had already prepared the food at a restaurant.

After we arrived, we went straight to the restaurant.

"Jianqiang, Ding Li, have a seat. Look, what wine I brought." Zhu Sheng said happily.

"Zhu Sheng, how did you get such good wine?" I said, taking the wine from Zhu Sheng's hand.

"You've come, can we not drink some good wine?"

"Jianqiang, I've kept this wine for ten years."

"Let's taste it. Ding Li, open it." Zhu Sheng said.

"Yo, this bottle of old wine would sell for several thousand online."

"Zhu Sheng, let's not drink such expensive wine; switch to a cheap one costing a few dozen yuan." Ding Li looked at the wine, reluctant to open it.

"Alright, whether it's thousands or hundreds, as long as we're happy drinking it."

"After we finish this wine, Jianqiang, you'll still buy me more." Zhu Sheng said.

"Then let's open it." I said.

Ding Li quickly opened the wine and poured it for us all.

The wine aroma filled the air, truly the scent of aged wine.

I couldn't help but take a sip early.

"Jianqiang, you can't sneak a drink. Hurry up and tell me how things went with Wang Ge."

"What did Wang Ge say?" Zhu Sheng asked urgently.

"Zhu Sheng, don't rush, let's eat some food first."

"Sigh, this braised intestine is really well made. Ding Li, try it." I said to Ding Li.

Ding Li picked up a piece of intestine and started eating it,

"Not bad, no offal smell, and the aftertaste is fragrant." Ding Wu praised.

"This old-brand restaurant in the Provincial Capital makes the most authentic braised intestine; their establishments have been open for over a hundred years."

"You know what that is? Inheritance." Zhu Sheng said proudly.

"Zhu Sheng, come on, it's been a while since we drank; let's have a drink." I said.

"That's about right, you can't just eat vegetables. No matter how good the dishes, if the drink isn't good, what's the point?" Zhu Sheng laughed.

The three of us raised our glasses and drank the wine.

I said: "Zhu Sheng, I met Wang Ge; he agreed to cooperate with Kang Yali."

Zhu Sheng nodded,

"He has no other choice but to cooperate; otherwise, with Liu Yong's ruthlessness, he'll end up with nowhere to die."

"By the way, who will protect Kang Yali's side?" Zhu Sheng asked.

"I sent Sun Dajun over." I said.

"Sun Dajun, your son—can he handle it?" Zhu Sheng said, somewhat worried.

"There's no other suitable person. If Xiao Long were by my side, that would be great." I said helplessly.

"If really necessary, let Ding Li also go protect Kang Yali." Zhu Sheng said.

"Wouldn't that be too obvious and draw Liu Yong's attention? He's currently abroad, busy having children with his three wives." I said.

"Damn, three wives, these bastards—aside from finding little wives to bear children, they have no proper business."

"How many of us men are bachelors? Why do men stay single? It's all because of these bastards."

"They monopolize resources, using the money in their hands,"

"they have more wives than can be counted." Zhu Sheng scolded angrily.

Listening to Zhu Sheng's scolding, I laughed and said: "Zhu Sheng, being a bachelor probably has nothing to do with Liu Yong."

"It's actually a big deal. They monopolize wealth and even transfer it out."

"This causes wealth here to be unable to undergo a second distribution."

"Then ordinary men have fewer opportunities to change their profession,"

"and they will earn less money,"

"the poor die poor, the rich die rich, and droughts and floods are uneven."

"This is one of the reasons many men can't find a wife." Zhu Sheng explained.
