Chapter 619: The parents of Tang Kun and Zhao Shunfa come to plead

With the farce caused by Tang Kun and Zhao Shunfa, Chen Yang suddenly realized that Zhu Zhu's half-mountain villa in Hong Kong was no longer safe.

Since Zhao Shunfa could find Liu Qingqing, the paparazzi of the gossip media were even more likely to find her.

So he called Guo Jin, asking him to help find a villa with better privacy.

At the same time, he personally flew to Hong Kong to persuade Liu Qingqing to move, but she rejected his suggestion.

"Senior, I'm living quite comfortably here; I don't want to go through the hassle anymore. The media can report whatever they want—anyway, as long as I don't admit our relationship, they can't do anything."

"Qingqing, denying it is useless. They'll watch your every move twenty‑four hours a day, and over time it will also cause trouble for your life."

"Even if I move somewhere else, I'll still be found! You can't possibly buy all the villas in Hong Kong, can you?"

Chen Yang immediately got a headache. If he couldn't stay in Hong Kong, the only option was to go abroad. But letting Liu Qingqing take the two children abroad would involve too many uncontrollable factors, making him even more uneasy.

Liu Qingqing embraced Chen Yang and said softly, "Senior, we should just go get the certificate openly and properly. That would settle the children's identity issue, and you wouldn't have to keep worrying about our relationship being exposed."

Chen Yang asked her, "Would you mind that I once had a marriage with Lin Wei? If we argue in the future, would you bring up the past and settle old scores? Also, if I go to Lin Wei's place to see our son, or even stay overnight there, would you get angry?"

Liu Qingqing punched Chen Yang hard and said angrily, "If you don't want to marry me, just say so—why make up all these excuses?"

Chen Yang immediately had an answer in his heart. He asked only because he had no choice. Now that he isn't married to Liu Qingqing yet, the Liu family has already come to him demanding investment. If he and Liu Qingqing ever disagree and divorce, they will surely try every means to seize half of his assets from him.

If it were only a few hundred thousand, splitting it would be fine. But now it's a hundred billion being split into fifty billion—claiming it doesn't hurt is a lie.

When Liu Qingqing's grandfather heard that Chen Yang would invest in the Liu Clan Group, he immediately wavered in his attitude of letting Chen Yang marry Liu Qingqing. His reaction made Chen Yang even more convinced that the other side saw only profit.

"Qingqing, sorry, I think being single right now is pretty good."

"What about the child? He can't have only a mother and no father, can he?"

"You can put my name in the father's column. I've never said I don't acknowledge these two children, have I?"

"Hmph, you're a playboy. If I'd known you were like this, I shouldn't have liked you."

Chen Yang gently stroked Liu Qingqing's soft hair and soothed her, "Qingqing, don't be angry. Although I haven't given you a title, I've fulfilled all the duties a husband should, right?"

Liu Qingqing pouted and complained, "Other people's husbands can be by their side every day—can you?"

Chen Yang gave a wry smile; this question couldn't be answered. For a woman, if you don't keep her company, she'll think you don't value her. But if you really stay with her all day doing nothing, over time she'll despise you for being idle and unambitious.

Moreover, Chen Yang has so many companies under his name that he can't possibly leave everything to others; otherwise, one day his companies could be moved away without him knowing.

Since Liu Qingqing didn't want to move, Chen Yang could only continue strengthening the villa's security, trying as much as possible to avoid Liu Qingqing and the two children being harassed by strangers.

After securing the villa, Chen Yang had originally planned to spend a few more days in Hong Kong with Liu Qingqing. Unexpectedly, Shen Anna called suddenly, saying that the parents of Tang Kun and Zhao Shunfa were kneeling at the company gate begging Chen Yang to let their sons go. No matter how Shen Anna persuaded them, they refused to leave.

This problem left Chen Yang in a dilemma. After all, although Tang Kun and Zhao Shunfa were bad, their parents were quite decent. When they were in school, every time they came to campus, they often brought Chen Yang tasty treats.

If he avoided them, it would be a bit inhumane. Especially since Zhao Shunfa's mother has a heart condition—if it flared up again, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Left with no choice, Chen Yang could only return to Xingcheng ahead of schedule.

However, Chen Yang did not receive Tang Kun's and Zhao Shunfa's parents at the company; instead, he arranged the meeting at Chen Bing's police station.

After the police officers at the station had clearly explained Tang Kun's and Zhao Shunfa's crimes to them, Chen Yang further demanded that they give a written guarantee that their sons would no longer harass him and his family.

Only after they had signed did Chen Yang sign the letter of understanding.

As for what judgment the court would later render, Chen Yang had lost interest in paying attention.

For those who have harmed him, not personally going up and stabbing them is already his greatest mercy.

Of course, the person Chen Yang feels most sorry for about this matter is Chen Bing. The latter had run all the way to Shencheng to help him catch people, which was originally a great achievement; now the great achievement has been reduced to a minor one.

To express his apology, Chen Yang invited Chen Bing and the police officers who assisted in the case to a meal.

At the dinner table, Chen Bing suddenly said to Chen Yang, "Our bureau has just obtained a plot of land intended for building staff housing. Are you interested in taking on this project?"

Chen Yang had no interest in such a unit's dormitory building at all. The Xingcheng City Public Security Bureau Chief—he had only met him a few times in public places and wasn't very familiar. If they were taking this land to make money and he rashly accepted it, wouldn't that offend people?

But since Chen Bing had brought it up, Chen Yang couldn't outright refuse, so he first asked, "Brother Bing, is this the bureau chief's idea or yours?"

Chen Bing laughed, "It's not only the bureau chief's idea; it's also the idea of us brothers."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang looked at him with a doubtful expression. "Brother Bing, I can't make sense of what you're saying."

Chen Bing explained, "Everyone thinks you have good taste; the design of Dongjiang New City fits the public's aesthetic very well. If we entrust the project to you, the brothers will feel at ease living there."

Chen Yang thought for a moment, then told Chen Bing, "During this period I have to prepare the construction projects for both the shoe factory and the electronics factory—especially the electronics factory, which the province highly values. So I truly have no time to take on this project."

Chen Bing and the police officers sitting at the same table, upon hearing this, all showed looks of disappointment.

Chen Yang, seeing this, smiled and said, "I don't have time to take it, but you can contact Liu Dong of Sunshine Real Estate. Both the Sunshine Garden Community and Dongjiang New City are under the charge of Liu Zong."

Chen Bing put on a serious face and asked Chen Yang, "Will Liu Shijie give a discount?"

Chen Yang immediately understood his meaning. It wasn't just an aesthetic issue; it also had to do with housing prices. He curiously asked Chen Bing, "Does your unit's welfare housing not sell at a discount internally?"

Chen Bing sighed, "The bureau chief said the bureau's funds are temporarily insufficient, so we need to take out a loan to build the housing. Shouldn't that loan money be shared by all of us?"

Over the past few years, Chen Yang has caused plenty of trouble for the Xingcheng police, especially during the period when Wang Haifeng targeted him. Since they're having difficulties, he feels it's necessary to return the favor.
