Chapter 494

~9 min read 1,662 words

After Li Ye and Li Zhongfa returned to Zaojunmiao, they were naturally grabbed by Li Yue, Watching Wen Leyu, Yang Yumin, and others waiting at home for a round of questioning.

This morning, Jin Peng, Jiang Hong, and others had all come, originally wanting to go along, but grandfather Li Zhongfa thought it was inappropriate. A large crowd going over would instead make Li Ye look guilty.

Watching Wen Leyu quietly tugged at Li Ye's sleeve and exchanged a look with him. Her expressive eyes seemed to be saying—Is it serious? Do I need to notify my father?

So Li Ye embellished the old man's words just now and retold them.

Then, naturally, it caused everyone to curse. Wang Jianqiang and Li Dàyong, these two brothers with straight tempers, had even gloomier expressions.

If it weren't for the other party's special status, these two brothers might have grabbed bricks on the spot and gone to block their door.

"Alright, it's nothing. Xiao Yue, find a restaurant and take everyone to eat first. Xiao Ye, after you finish eating, send Xiao Yu home first; don't let her family worry. Xiao Hong, stay behind..."

Li Zhongfa sent everyone away decisively, leaving only Jiang Hong behind.

"I couldn't ask clearly on the phone yesterday. What's going on with Old Song?"

"Old Song has some connections with a lighthouse businessman named Mr. Ai. The two of them originally opened that foreign language tutoring class together. On the 13th day of the first lunar month, that Mr. Ai and the Japanese arrived at the training class..."

"I didn't ask you about this," Li Zhongfa waved his hand and asked in a deep voice: "I'm asking you, in the past two years in the capital, has Old Song done anything improper? Has he caused any trouble for Xiao Ye?"

Jiang Hong slowly shook his head and said: "Old Song just likes to tinker with some junk. Although he deals with all kinds of people, he doesn't seem to have caused any big trouble."

"It was just last winter when he went on a long trip and didn't see anyone for several months, but if you say he caused trouble for Xiao Ye... maybe this is the only thing."

"."

Jiang Hong spoke very cautiously, and Li Zhongfa listened very carefully. After listening, he shook his head and said: "Forget it, Old Song is a cunning ghost. Asking you here is not as good as asking him directly. Go and find out if he can come out, and after he comes out, let him come see me."

Jiang Hong was stunned and then said: "Old Song just called a moment ago, saying he had already come out, and also asking when it would be convenient to come see you!"

"Hmm? Heh heh~"

Li Ye ate with Watching Wen Leyu alone and then sent her home. When he returned to Zaojunmiao, he happened to run into Old Song.

Li Ye laughed and scolded: "Hey, Old Song, you guy came out so fast? The taste inside wasn't easy to bear, right? Are you still going to do bad things in the future?"

Old Song laughed: "The taste was okay. They didn't hit or scold me and even provided meals. It was much more comfortable than when I was in the Japanese prison back then. When they drove me out this noon, I was a bit reluctant..."

"."

Li Ye, who was originally full of anger, suddenly didn't want to discipline this guy with a grinning face.

He had a leg broken in a Japanese prison and lost half his life, and later there was the blood feud of Wei Jiaxian's whole family. You say he shouldn't do bad things in the future; isn't that a bit like standing and talking without back pain?

"Yo, you're still reluctant? That's easy to handle! I'll send you in right now, and I'll have them serve you well with good food and drink without hitting or scolding you. How about that?"

Grandfather Li Zhongfa's voice came from the main room, carrying three parts sarcasm and seven parts coldness.

Old Song's neck immediately shrank by half. He grinned at Li Ye and walked in without hesitation.

"Bureau Chief Li, I'm here to apologize to you. It's my incompetence that caused trouble for the top scholar. I guarantee I won't do it again in the future..."

When Old Song saw Li Zhongfa, he looked like a guy with a box cannon in a movie seeing the guerrillas, nodding and bowing without any proper posture.

Li Zhongfa glanced at him coldly and sneered: "Then tell me, how do you guarantee it? I gave you an introduction letter to let you come to the capital, thinking you could learn to be good."

"But it's only been two years. What's the matter? Your old bad habits as Young Master Song have flared up again? Do you have to try if the Japanese bayonet is sharp?"

"Heh heh heh, Bureau Chief Li, don't make fun of me. I've corrected myself for so many years; how could I still have any old bad habits?"

Old Song laughed twice and then said seriously: "I've been thinking about it recently. Since we've started reform and opening up, and the country encourages us to go out and do business, I've decided to respond to the country's call and take my business abroad."

"."

Li Zhongfa and Li Ye were both stunned.

This trouble was indeed related to Old Song, but the grandfather and grandson didn't have the idea of forcing him to "run away overseas."

Old Song is already such an old bone; if he dies in a foreign land, isn't that a sin?

But if Old Song went overseas, then nothing would involve Li Ye.

Even if he became a master thief! It would have nothing to do with Li Ye.

Li Ye frowned and asked: "Old Song, which country do you want to expand your business to?"

Old Song said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I'm short, so I'm afraid that if I go to the West, I'll only see the back of people's heads on the street, so I plan to go to the East to take a look."

"Bang~"

Li Zhongfa slapped the table directly and cursed loudly: "You old thing, you still say you haven't flared up your bad habits. You almost died in their hands back then. What's the matter? You've got yellow soil buried up to your neck, and you still want to go and spar with them?"

Old Song smacked his lips, swallowed his saliva, and then laughed sheepishly: "How could I, Old Song, still have the ability to spar? But back then, they were running wild on our territory, and we couldn't stop their bayonets. Can't I go over and take a leak now?"

"."

Li Zhongfa and Li Ye stared blankly at Old Song, both unable to curse.

The skinny old man probably leaks when he pees, but at this moment, he didn't lose the feeling of being a man with a straight back to the grandfather and grandson of the Li family.

Li Zhongfa was stunned for a long while before saying in a low voice: "Brother Song, we are all old. Let's not toss about. When you get to that place in the East, you'll be unfamiliar with the place and the language, and there will be no one to bury you if you die!"

"How could that be! Do I look like someone who doesn't want to live?"

Old Song twisted his neck and talked eloquently: "In the past two years, I've seen more than one person who returned from Japan. Now the people there don't believe in bayonets; they believe in banknotes."

"And who said I don't know the language? Listen... Sayonara, Odonesnai, Kitakuru-naika, Yamete..."

"."

You damn well even learned Yamete?

Li Ye was stunned again because when Old Song started, it was relatively raw, but as he spoke, it became smoother and smoother, and it was no longer limited to short words and sentences; long sentences were also coming out one after another, as if he had really learned it.

He suddenly remembered that Old Song once told him that after Wei Jiaxian's whole family was burned to death, he had chased the murderer for ten thousand miles.

So when he was chasing the murderer, was he as insidious as Ma Dazui, who had a fan tucked in his waist and could dance Japanese dances in the TV show "The Second Artilleryman"?

"Ring ring ring~"

Just as the three of them were staring at each other, the phone at home suddenly rang.

Li Ye picked up the phone; it was his mother, Hearing Fu Guiru, calling.

Li Zhongfa immediately pulled Old Song and went out.

"Let's go, you old stubborn donkey. I'll treat you to a drink... When you pass away, remember to pay me back for this drink!"

"No, this way of saying it is really unlucky. Besides, you still owed me a batch of medicine back then! You didn't have it easy in the past few years, so it wasn't easy to ask you for debt. This time I'm leaving without a definite date, why don't you pay me back first..."

"I'll pay you a fart. If I hadn't mediated in the middle, the guerrillas would have taken your head long ago. That's life-saving money..."

"."

After the two old men walked away, Li Ye started chatting with Hearing Fu Guiru.

Recently, Hearing Fu Guiru has been running between Pengcheng and Japan. She is very busy but very fulfilled.

After the mother and son finished discussing the recent investment plan, Li Ye suddenly took out Nakamura Hiroo's business card from his pocket.

"Mom, you should set up a special group in the team to keep an eye on this Yokohama Nakamura Co., Ltd. for me."

"Why are you keeping an eye on them?"

"They provoked me."
