Chapter 230: My House Was Stolen

Regarding Liu Qingqing's words, Chen Yang didn't take them to heart. Whether he and Lin Wei can grow old together is a future matter, unpredictable.

Even if Liu Qingqing truly had deep feelings for him, he wouldn't want to be two-timing. Because that would be disrespectful to Lin Wei, and equally disrespectful to Liu Qingqing.

To avoid causing trouble for Liu Qingqing, Chen Yang deliberately went to the Old People's Agricultural Products Trading Company this weekend to seek quiet.

Unexpectedly, at noon, the landlady suddenly called.

"Xiao Chen, I have something to tell you. I've already sold the apartment you're living in. If you have time these two days to move out, I can pay you three times the penalty."

Chen Yang felt a bit dazed hearing this news. His villa was still under renovation; according to Zhao Xiaoli's progress report, it wouldn't be ready until at least December. "Landlady, my house is still being renovated, so moving now is inconvenient. Could you help me negotiate with the new landlord to see if we can delay two months?"

"Xiao Chen, I'm really sorry! The young man who bought the house insists you move out, and I can't do anything about it..."

Chen Yang suddenly thought of someone and curiously asked, "Is that young man surnamed Liang? About 1.7 meters tall, dresses very fashionably, and speaks arrogantly?"

"Yeah, do you know him?"

"I don't know him. Then I'll come back for a trip!"

Chen Yang never expected Liang Kuang to be so scheming; to prevent him from contacting Liu Qingqing, he directly "stole" his home.

Chen Yang didn't choose to buy this rented house mainly because he felt its supporting facilities were too outdated, making its investment value far inferior to that of new elevator apartment complexes.

Unexpectedly, he thus gave Liang Kuang an opportunity to set him up.

Since the house now belongs to the other party, Chen Yang also didn't intend to become a deadbeat.

After greeting Shen Anna, he called a truck and several movers from the company and went together to the Teacher University Affiliated Middle School Staff Housing to move.

Upon arriving at the destination, the landlady was already waiting there. Seeing Chen Yang get out of the car, she also looked apologetic.

"Xiao Chen, I'm really sorry. The young man offered a price that's simply too high. My husband insists on selling, and I can't do anything about it."

"It's fine. I'll go move my stuff first, and later I'll return the keys to you."

After saying goodbye to the landlady, Chen Yang took the warehouse department's movers to pack up his belongings. His things weren't many; many were items Lin Wei had left there when she moved. To simplify his luggage, Chen Yang specially called Lin Wei.

"Honey, I'm moving today, and there are some things I don't plan to take. Of the stuff you left here, which are useful?"

"Husband, our new house isn't finished renovating yet—why are you suddenly moving?"

"Ah... the landlord sold the house, and the new landlord insists I move out, so I have no choice."

"I see. Just dispose of those things however you like. Besides you, there's nothing worth my concern."

Chen Yang felt happy hearing that Lin Wei only cared about himself. After hanging up, he had the movers take his luggage and computer. The remaining air conditioner, refrigerator, etc. —if the workers needed them, they'd take them along; otherwise, he told them to dump them straight into the trash station.

Although Chen Yang repeatedly asked the workers to keep quiet while moving, he still disturbed the neighboring Liu Qingqing.

"Senior, you're rushing to move—are you deliberately trying to avoid me?"

"Qingqing, don't misunderstand. This apartment has already been bought by your friend. He insists I move out, and I'd feel ashamed to be a deadbeat."

"My friend? Who is it?"

"That guy from last night!"

"……"

Liu Qingqing's eyebrows flared in anger; she grabbed her phone and quickly dialed a number. As soon as the call connected, she started shouting.

"Dad, make that Liang-surname lunatic disappear from my sight right away." After saying that, she hung up without waiting for a reply.

"Qingqing, what kind of deity is this Liang-surname person?" Chen Yang curiously asked Liu Qingqing. He couldn't allow himself to be set up without knowing the other party's background.

"What a goddamn deity!" Liu Qingqing snorted, then continued cursing: "He's just a lunatic. If it weren't for his father's business cooperation with my father, I wouldn't bother with him at all."

"Is the Liang family also in tech?" Chen Yang figured it out. Tech companies marrying tech companies, capital merging with capital—it's all about interests. No wonder Liu Qingqing rejects it.

Liu Qingqing said disparagingly: "His family's company is called Baitong Electronics, a joint venture with Little Japan, specializing in electronic component assembly and processing."

In his previous life, Chen Yang lived in Deep City for twenty years and had never heard of Baitong Electronics. Liu Qingqing's father choosing to ally with such a family through marriage surprised him.

However, Liu Qingqing had several relationships in her previous life. Judging from yesterday's situation, Liang Kuang is probably just a passerby; they hadn't even started before things fell apart.

If that's the case, then Chen Yang also has no scruples. You can disgust me, and I can disgust you.

After saying goodbye to Liu Qingqing, Chen Yang called Yexin and asked her to help investigate Baitong Electronics' background.

Although Yexin was in Hong Kong, her information-gathering speed was still fast. She found the other party's location and background connections in just half an hour.

It turned out that Baitong Electronics' factory is located at the border between Deep City and Wan City, not small in scale, with two thousand workers. As for the Liang family, they are also natives of Xingcheng. Liang Kuang's uncle is the deputy director of the Xingcheng Public Security Bureau.

At least a deputy director of a provincial capital's Public Security Bureau is a department-level official, so it's no wonder Liu Qingqing's father hopes to secure this marriage.

Since it's the public security system, investigation would be easier. Chen Yang immediately called Chen Bing.

"Brother Bing, are you familiar with the Liang-surname deputy director at Xingcheng Public Security Bureau?"

"How? Did you offend him?"

"No, I just had some unpleasantness with his nephew yesterday. I'm worried about getting sabotaged."

"Like that... then you should be careful these days. It's best not to go out alone; if anything happens, give me a call."

"Brother Bing, hearing you say that makes me feel uneasy inside..."

"Don't worry, with my old man around, nothing big will happen. If you're still uneasy, just go back to Qingshui City first. On your father-in-law's turf, nobody dares to mess with you."

"Brother Bing, is that Liang deputy director dangerous?"

"Some things I've only heard about, with no evidence. Anyway, first go back to Qingshui. If they really intend to target you, action will come soon."

The more Chen Yang listened, the more confused he felt, sensing that Chen Bing was hiding something from him.

Since Xingcheng might be unsafe, he also didn't plan to put himself in danger.

After putting his computer and luggage at the company, Chen Yang drove straight back to Qingshui.
