Chapter 492
When Li Zhongfa arrived in the capital, Li Yue and Yang Yumin of course had to come and see their grandfather.
So when Li Zhongfa returned to Zaojunmiao from Wang Jianqiang's house, Li Yue had already prepared food and was waiting for her grandfather to come back so Yang Yumin could have a good drink with him.
This drink was comfortable.
Yang Yumin had already been promoted to deputy section chief, and Li Yue was already capable of handling things on her own. Li Zhongfa was also quite satisfied with this granddaughter and grandson-in-law.
However, Li Yue was a bit dissatisfied that her grandfather hadn't brought her grandmother along.
"Grandpa, why didn't you bring Grandma with you when you came to the capital? I even dreamed of Grandma a few days ago! It's really something, you only cared about yourself... I was happy for nothing."
"Oh my, wasn't I afraid that you would talk back to Grandma again, and afraid that your Grandma would pinch your scalp? You two used to fight endlessly every day, and now you know you miss Grandma?"
"I... I was ignorant at that time..."
Li Zhongfa made a joke with his granddaughter, and Li Yue's eyes immediately turned red.
When Li Yue was at home, her father Li Kaijian couldn't suppress her. Children from single-parent families are inevitably rebellious, so Grandma Wu Juying would suppress her from time to time. Li Yue had deep resentment toward her grandmother in her heart.
But after truly being thousands of miles away from home, Li Yue's longing for her grandmother grew stronger and stronger. She would often feel her scalp itch, feeling that the grandmother who used to be like an old monster was actually so kind.
"Alright, alright, I'll call now and have your Grandma come over for a few days..."
When his granddaughter cried, Li Zhongfa couldn't handle it either.
Li Yue missed her relatives at home, and how could the relatives at home not worry about Li Yue, who was far away in the capital?
Otherwise, why wouldn't fathers and grandfathers in the world want their daughters and granddaughters to marry far away?
However, just as Li Zhongfa was about to reach for the phone, the phone rang.
Li Zhongfa hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone: "Hello? Who is this? Haha, is it Xiao Hong? What?"
The call was from Jiang Hong.
Jiang Hong was someone Li Zhongfa had carefully selected for Li Ye, so he was naturally very familiar with him. However, after Jiang Hong on the other end said a few words, the smile on Li Zhongfa's face disappeared and became extremely deep.
"His foreign guest went missing, what does that have to do with us? You don't do anything, and you're helping them find people? Help them find a ball, ignore him."
Li Zhongfa put down the phone with a gloomy face and turned to ask Li Ye: "There's a little Japanese guy named Nakamura at the Pengcheng Zhongai Machinery Company. Do you know him?"
Li Ye nodded and said, "Grandpa, are you talking about Nakamura Naoto? He is an international student in our 80th grade at Peking University. I do know him. Did something happen?"
Li Zhongfa said, "Today, the public security department went to Old Song's training class and said that the little Japanese guy had gone missing, asking Old Song and the others to assist in the investigation."
"In addition, a training teacher said that when Nakamura Naoto went to the training class, you happened to be there."
"Your Uncle Hong's people happened to be studying foreign languages in the training class, so they called and said that the public security department might go to the school to find you tomorrow."
"Missing? When did he go missing? Which teacher said I was there?"
Li Ye was a bit surprised because the last time he saw Nakamura Naoto and Ai Zhixin was at the end of winter break!
It was almost summer, and they were only now looking for the child. Could Nakamura Naoto's status at home be even more miserable than Wang Jianqiang's used to be?
And who was that gossiping teacher?
Li Zhongfa said seriously, "Don't worry about when he went missing, and don't worry about which teacher was gossiping. Just tell me if you've had any conflicts with that Nakamura Naoto!"
Li Ye said indifferently, "If you want to talk about conflicts, there really are some. I was a freshman at the time and participated in the department's economics lecture."
"I argued with him at the time, and later he wanted to buy the copyright of the manga version of 'Looking Back at the Lonely Army', but I messed it up..."
Li Ye told all the grievances between himself and Nakamura Naoto, but he didn't mention the "indirect" ones.
For example, the Changbei Machinery Factory's interception of the Zhongai Machinery Company, and the time he let Old Song intercept that set of Ming Dynasty official kiln multicolored flower and bird pots...
After finishing, Li Ye added, "But these shouldn't count as anything, right? Everyone at Peking University knows these things, and my brother-in-law knows them too. Facts have their own public opinion."
Yang Yumin also hurriedly said on the side, "This kind of thing doesn't count as a conflict at all. The relevant departments cannot determine that Li Ye is a suspect based on this. If that were really the case, the school wouldn't agree either."
Li Zhongfa thought for a while and nodded slowly, "That's best. I'll go to school with you tomorrow. I want to see if this disappearance is real or fake."
"..."
Li Ye was stunned and said with a bitter smile, "Grandpa, you are really overthinking it. This is not 1937. Since they said he went missing, then... he should really be missing!"
Li Ye didn't really care whether Nakamura Naoto was missing or not. After all, it had nothing to do with him, and Li Ye wasn't just some nobody who could be bullied at will.
Not to mention the relationship with Wen Leyu, even the name of the Seven-Inch Blade wouldn't allow him to be manipulated at will.
What Li Ye cared more about was which teacher in the training class had such a loose mouth.
He Xue felt very good today, and her own class went very smoothly. She bluffed the students in the class with her fluent English, and she also patiently explained the students' questions for the first time.
After class, He Xue stepped on her high heels and left the training class, humming a song while opening the door of Duo Ye's sedan and sitting in.
Duo Ye asked with a faint smile, "Why, you're in a good mood today!"
He Xue nodded vigorously: "Yes, the students in the class have made great progress recently, and as a teacher, I feel a sense of accomplishment."
"Yes! Teachers are indeed worthy of respect."
Duo Ye smiled and started the car, heading toward his "golden house."
He Xue's "persona" was managed well—a high-achieving student who taught and educated people, different from ordinary vulgar women, so Duo Ye had always liked her.
Although He Xue's appearance was average, Duo Ye just had a special sense of pleasure when he was wantonly ravaging her.
And He Xue seemed to have realized this recently, and there was a tacit understanding like fish and water between the two.
Arriving at the place, getting off the car, going upstairs, opening the door, and entering the house, Duo Ye didn't delay for a second before starting to untie the belt on his waist.
He Xue rolled her eyes and said coquettishly, "I just got home, I taught for a day, and stood on the podium for two hours, so you have to let me rest for a while."
But Duo Ye smiled coldly, picked up the cold water kettle in the house, and soaked the belt he had untied.
He Xue was stunned, not understanding what Duo Ye was doing.
But the next moment, she tasted the flavor of a "whip dipped in cold water."
"Slap~ slap~ slap~"
"I told you to have a loose mouth, I told you to have a loose mouth—your eyes are sharp, right?"
"You talk too much, people won't lose a hair, but you... hmph hmph hmph hmph slap slap slap slap~"
He Xue was in great pain all over, and she felt aggrieved.
"I was just telling the truth, and I didn't tell a single lie. Why is Li Ye the Emperor of Heaven? Can't I say a single word?"
"Slap slap slap slap~"
Duo Ye didn't argue with He Xue, but the mockery and anger in his eyes were not concealed at all.
It didn't matter that Old Song was taken away to assist in the investigation, because he had followed Old Song for two years and had barely integrated into the circle of Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng and others.
He was useful, and maybe he could take over Old Song's business!
But if Li Ye was even slightly implicated because of He Xue's loose mouth, Duo Ye didn't know what the result would be for him.
Although Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng and others looked more and more like elegant entrepreneurs on the surface, Duo Ye knew his ruthlessness better than anyone.
And the woman in front of him was simply a jinx.
A round of belt whipping made He Xue scream, and Duo Ye also enjoyed a stronger alternative pleasure.
After the matter was done, Duo Ye finally relaxed.
"Don't cause trouble for me again in the future. You'll graduate in two months. Didn't you want to study abroad? I'll pay for you to study abroad then—Hong Kong, Lighthouse, Europe, you can choose whatever you want."
"..."
He Xue, who was crying, looked at Duo Ye in surprise, not knowing if he was speaking in anger.
"I don't want to study abroad... I want to stay by your side."
"Hmm?"
Duo Ye was stunned, and then he frowned tightly.
This canary wouldn't leave the cage, so how could he change to the next bird?
