Chapter 412: Drunkenness and Confusion

Lin Wanning raised her hand to pat He Yuzhu's arm and laughed, "Look at how scared you are. Didn't you say I'm free now? What, I can't even come to see a friend?"

"My sister and the others all recognize you; they hate you so much their teeth ache." He Yuzhu dragged her into the room, leaned out to peer around a few times, closed the door, and slid the bolt shut.

"Forgot to tell you," Lin Wanning walked to He Yuzhu's side unhurriedly and said, "When I arrived, I saw your sister's children playing with sandbags at the entrance. No one recognized me."

"Fine then," He Yuzhu turned around, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment, "Do you have business with me?"

"Won't you brew a cup of tea for a guest?" Lin Wanning had already walked to the bookshelf on her own, her eyes sweeping across the entire shelf, "Your interests are quite broad, you even know foreign languages... You really are cut out to be a secret agent."

"Big sister, I am legitimately a car manufacturer, not a secret agent." He Yuzhu explained while picking up the thermos to pour water into the teapot.

Lin Wanning picked up the teacup, took two sips, and began, "I have thought about it carefully. Even if I go to Hong Kong, if I have no support, even with the money you gave me, I fear I would only be able to live a difficult life after buying a house. Moreover, there are people from the Bald Party there, and I would still have to live under an assumed name... I don't want that kind of life." She turned around and looked at He Yuzhu, "Give me a path to follow."

"I forgot to tell you, Jin Hai is a gang leader with extraordinary capabilities; Zhao Ying runs a shipping business and has wide connections. If you have any trouble, just mention me to them, and they will certainly help you."

The corners of Lin Wanning's lips curled slightly: "Rather than that, I might as well... be your woman."

He Yuzhu felt somewhat uncomfortable being stared at by her and tugged at the corner of his mouth: "Big sister, you are wearing men's makeup, and saying this to me makes me feel a bit uneasy."

"If I take off the makeup, will your sister burst in?"

He Yuzhu paused and said: "I'll go out and greet my mother. I'll just say we are discussing confidential matters, and no one will come to disturb us."

"Then why aren't you going to arrange it?" Lin Wanning raised an eyebrow.

He Yuzhu turned and left the room.

Not long after, the sound of the courtyard gate being latched could be heard faintly.

By the time He Yuzhu returned to the room, Lin Wanning had changed back into women's clothing. The fake eyebrows and stubble on her face had been completely removed, revealing a daughter's face as fresh as a lotus rising from clear water. Paired with her short hair, she looked quite capable.

"I haven't eaten yet, could you stir-fry two dishes for me?" Lin Wanning looked at He Yuzhu with a smile.

He Yuzhu went to the kitchen, sliced some cooked meat, and stir-fried Twice Cooked Pork and Scallion Braised Sea Cucumber.

Lin Wanning took a bite of the Twice Cooked Pork, a smile appearing in her eyes: "The taste is not bad. Your level is quite high; I believe that He Ji restaurant is indeed yours!"

"I never lie!" He Yuzhu said.

An hour later, both of them were slightly tipsy.

He Yuzhu's face was flushed, and he spoke a bit more: "In Hong Kong... I am actually already married, and I have a lover. My quota is full, I really can't take you in, I'm sorry."

Lin Wanning chuckled: "I didn't expect you to be so young yet so promiscuous."

"I won't go into the specific details with you, it's too complicated." He Yuzhu lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "Actually, if you go to Hong Kong, you can also work for my wife and be her strategist. You have many clever ideas; she won't treat you poorly!"

"Your wife is Liu Rusi, Shen Shichang's daughter," Lin Wanning said.

"As expected of someone from an intelligence background, you figured out the Liushi Trading Company in just one day." He Yuzhu filled his glass with wine again.

"Besides this path, do I have any other way to go?" Lin Wanning asked.

"Yes. You could open a film company with that lover of mine, that would also be good. She is a simple-minded person, and I'm afraid she'll be cheated by others." He Yuzhu laughed as he said this, "But she is truly kind to people."

"Aren't you afraid I'll cheat her?" Lin Wanning glanced at him sideways.

"She relies on talent. Even if you cheated her out of all her money, she could earn it back by releasing one record." He Yuzhu chuckled.

Lin Wanning was silent for a moment, then said: "I like you, I want to be with you!"

He Yuzhu shook his head: "Liu Rusi said that in Hong Kong, I can only have one lover."

"I don't believe you would listen to her that much." Before Lin Wanning finished speaking, she suddenly reached out to wrap her arms around his shoulders and kissed his ear.

Public Security Bureau Detention Center.

Cui Xiu brought a bag of change of clothes to see Xu Damao. Not having seen him for these days, Xu Damao's cheeks were sunken, and his eyes appeared dim.

As soon as he saw Cui Xiu, he immediately grabbed the bars and asked: "Mother, how did it go?"

"He Yuzhu accepted that jade, and he did pay money for it. He used the money to buy five cars and donated them to the Police Bureau in the name of his sister's company..."

"Mother, can you tell me the result first?" Xu Damao stomped his feet in anxiety.

"Look at how impatient you are!" Cui Xiu sighed, "The higher-ups agreed; you will only be sentenced to one year."

Xu Damao let out a long breath and said: "Thank heavens... Bodhisattva bless."

But not two seconds later, he furrowed his brows again, clicking his tongue in heartache: "Five cars... how much must that be worth? If I had kept that thing, wouldn't I have made a fortune!"

"Damao, since the item has already been sold, don't think about it anymore!" Cui Xiu whispered, "This time, I think He Yuzhu really put in the effort."

"Bullshit!" Xu Damao scoffed, "It's only because that jade is valuable! Otherwise, would he have reached out to save me!"

Cui Xiu shook her head: "You, you're just like your dead father, your heart is as small as a needle's eye."

"Mother, you don't understand He Yuzhu at all." Xu Damao curled his lip, "As long as the profit is big enough, this guy would even dare to raid an execution ground."

Cui Xiu didn't want to argue anymore, she just pushed the clothes through the gap in the bars: "Reform well, find a job when you get out, and live a stable life."

Xu Damao held the clothes without responding, his eyes still fixed on mid-air, still thinking about the five lost cars.

Nanluoguxiang, 95 Courtyard, East Cross Courtyard, He Yuzhu and Lin Wanning had already finished three bottles of Niulanshan Erguotou.

He Yuzhu felt the world spinning, his head was terribly heavy, and his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. He kept muttering: "Lin Wanning, don't be afraid when you go to Hong Kong, if something happens, find Jin Hai... I will go over whenever I have time..."

After finishing, he fell into a muddled sleep and even had a beautiful dream, feeling a soft body pressing against him...

Early the next morning, He Yuzhu opened his eyes in a daze. Turning his head, he discovered the stark-naked Lin Wanning. She was wrapped tightly around him like a vine.

"Damn it, really a drunken mistake! What do I do?" He Yuzhu muttered.

Suddenly, the telephone on the table rang loudly.

He Yuzhu reached out to pick up the receiver, his voice still heavy with sleep: "Who is it?"

Tian Dan's scolding came from the other end: "You bastard, we are having a meeting to assign tasks today, did you forget?"

He Yuzhu gave a start, only then remembering that he had to arrange the arrest of the contact spy today, which he had completely forgotten.

He hurriedly replied: "I was too busy last night and went to sleep late. Don't worry, I'll be there right away!"

Hanging up the phone, he turned and pushed the Lin Wanning beside him: "Hurry up and put on your makeup, you have to go out with me. Otherwise, my mother will definitely suspect that I've been keeping someone overnight!"
