Chapter 1033: Uncle Chen’s Phone Call
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Yang Ming naturally didn’t know that so many things happened overnight in his own home.
He stretched, looked at w.a.n.g Xiaoyan asleep next to him, and smiled slightly. The two people had more and more tacit understanding! He got up and headed in the direction of the bathroom. Yang Ming decided to take a hot bath first.
The sound of a ringtone came from his cell phone. Yang Ming glanced at the caller ID. The call actually came from Chen Mengyan’s home. Immediately, a guilty conscience came. He crept into the bathroom before he picked up the phone. “My dear wife, you called me so early. Did you miss your husband?”
“Yang Ming, this is your Uncle Chen!” The voice of Chen Fei came over the phone.
” Ah !” Yang Ming was stunned. Chen Fei actually called? So early in the morning, why is Uncle Chen looking for me? He said somewhat awkwardly, “Uncle Chen, ha, good morning. ”
” En , good morning.” Chen Fei said with a laugh, “Yang Ming, you are not right. You just think about Mengyan, but you forget your Uncle Chen?”
“How can I?!” Yang Ming said somewhat awkwardly, “I didn’t expect Uncle Chen to call me with your home phone. I thought you would use your cell phone…”
“My cell phone is out of power and is charging in the study. I didn’t get it.” Chen Fei said, “Well, Yang Ming, I want to talk to you about something serious.”
“What is the serious matter?” Yang Ming was surprised and asked.
“I heard that you caught Chen Afu? Not bad; you’re pretty capable!” Chen Fei said with amazement, “It seems that Uncle Chen didn’t misjudge you…”
” Ah , you know it too?!” Yang Ming didn’t think there was any surprise. After all, Chen Afu was not caught by the police, and the Supernatural Investigation Bureau gave credit to the police. However, some police leaders would know the truth. Like Uncle Chen, the chief of the Criminal Investigation Team and the deputy director, he would naturally know more.
However, I gave the credit to Xia Xue and did not give it to Uncle Chen… Is this a bit too much? Thinking of this, Yang Ming felt embarra.s.sed.
Thinking up to this point, Yang Ming said hurriedly, “People have always thought highly of me, haha. Uncle Chen does not have to be surprised.”
“I was actually a bit surprised. I didn’t expect you to join the investigation bureau.” Chen Fei said, “In the past, Xia Bingbao still hid his purpose of looking for you from me. He told me the truth after you agreed to join.”
“Uncle Chen, in fact, that credit… I didn’t want to give it to Xia Xue alone… but…” Yang Ming thought about it and decided that it was better to explain it. Otherwise, his father-in-law would think he was biting the hand that fed him.
” Hah , that’s alright.” Chen Fei said with a smile, “Your Uncle Chen is already very old. When you’ve reached the head of the bureau, what is the need to have this credit!? Give the young people some opportunities! However, Xia Bingbao, that guy, is Xia Xue’s big brother, so you should not blame him. This kind of good thing is naturally left to his little sister!”
When Yang Ming heard that Chen Fei was not disappointed but also gave Xia Bingbao a break, he was relieved.
“Uncle Chen, as long as you are not angry.” Yang Ming smiled. “I was afraid that you are not happy.”
“Is your Uncle Chen such a narrow-minded person!?” Chen Fei said with a laugh, “However, Uncle Chen’s career in the future did benefit from your dad. During New Years, I went out to eat with your dad and met with great leaders in the province.”
After listening to Uncle Chen, Yang Ming couldn’t help but feel a little emotional. My own dad actually became so slick. He has become more skillful when he is dealing with officials and businessmen.
One has to say that the environment can make a person successful. My parents are originally not good at talking. Now they have their own careers and have a good life every day.
“Uncle Chen, is my dad always with you?” Yang Ming didn’t know that his dad was always with Uncle Chen actually.
“We are in-laws. I am always eating and drinking with your dad, and others can’t find a problem with it.” Uncle Chen laughed and said.
“However, I say Uncle Chen, your legs are not so good yet, and you go and drink alcohol. Is that okay?” Yang Ming couldn’t help but smile bitterly. “You are still the first to go drinking with a cane.”
” Haha ,” Chen Fei said with a red face and smiled. “Let’s not talk about this. Let’s talk about a serious matter.”
” En , Uncle Chen, what do you have? Just say it,” said Yang Ming.
“This is the case. Chen Mengyan’s Second Uncle is Chen Dazhuang. You know him, right?” Chen Fei explained, “You and Mengyan have seen him before, Chen Afu’s father…”
“I know. Did he ask you to plead for leniency?” asked Yang Ming.
“He didn’t want to plead for leniency. He just wants to visit Chen Afu…” Chen Fei said with some emotion, “Chen Dazhuang also experienced some hards.h.i.+ps. He committed some crime and went to prison in his early years. It isn’t easy to be released. However, his son is…”
“Then, let him visit… Uncle Chen, you know that Chen Afu is being held by the investigation bureau. If he wants to visit, you can only communicate with Xia Bingbao,” said Yang Ming.
“I’ve talked with Old Xia. He said that person was caught by you. He wants me to ask for your opinion… This guy!” Chen Fei smiled bitterly. “I said that I’m your father-in-law, but he still said no. It really angered me, so I called you quickly.”
“So it’s like this. I will call him now and talk to him about it. Uncle Chen, you can wait for my call,” said Yang Ming.
“Okay, okay.” Chen Fei replied quickly and hung up.
Then, Yang Ming called Xia Bingbao’s phone. Xia Bingbao answered the phone as quickly as ever, “Yang Ming? What is it?”
“You know the answer, but you still ask?” Yang Ming said with a bad tone. He just hung up with Chen Fei. Yang Ming roughly grasped the key of the matter. He also knew why Xia Bingbao wanted Chen Fei to find him.
“What asking even when I know the answer…?” Xia Bingbao snorted twice.
“Okay, don’t talk more nonsense. Chen Dazhuang, Chen Afu’s father, wants to visit Chen Afu. You should arrange it for him…” Yang Ming said straightforwardly.
“Okay, but…” Xia Bingbao just wanted to talk, but the phone had already indicated that the call was over. Yang Ming had hung up.
Xia Bingbao was really annoyed. He just wanted to swear on the street. He had prepared some words to say, but now there was no chance. He wanted to call back and continue to say it, but he thought about it and let it go.
I am still considered a senior, so I can’t bicker with Yang Ming who is a junior.
Yang Ming had insight into Xia Bingbao’s thoughts and naturally didn’t give him a chance to speak. He helped Xia Bingbao to make a significant contribution, so Xia Bingbao should express his grat.i.tude to him. Yang Ming did not want the credit, but he gave it to Xia Xue. In this way, Xia Bingbao felt that he owed Yang Ming a big favor, so he wanted to find some ways to return the favor.
Therefore, when Chen Fei asked Xia Bingbao, Xia Bingbao asked him to ask Yang Ming to call him. In this way, Yang Ming’s favors were returned. Coming around to the key of the matter, where would Yang Ming allow Xia Bingbao the opportunity to speak?
If you owe a favor, you owe it. Haha, owe until you are guilty.
Yang Ming did not delay. He gave Chen Fei a call and told him the result; Chen Fei was pleased. Yang Ming advised that he immediately contact Xia Bingbao and let Chen Dazhuang see Chen Afu as soon as possible.
After handling Chen Dazhuang’s matter, the bathwater was also ready. Yang Ming laid in the bathtub and soaked in the bath; he was so comfortable. He remembered that this bathtub was only used by w.a.n.g Xiaoyan alone, and he couldn’t help but feel excited.
However, it didn’t take long for the phone to ring again. Yang Ming didn’t want to answer it, but he had no choice. He looked at the caller ID, and it showed that the call was from “Chen Mengyan’s home” again. This phone call couldn’t be ignored!
Whether it was Uncle Chen or Chen Mengyan, he couldn’t be slow. It couldn’t be helped. He had to dry the water on his hand and pick up the phone.
“h.e.l.lo, Uncle Chen?” Yang Ming simply didn’t dare to say “my dear wife.”
” En , it’s me. I contacted Xia Bingbao…” Chen Fei hesitated and said, “However, he said that he wants you to bring Chen Dazhuang to visit Chen Afu.”
“Why do I have to go? Can’t you go? Whoever goes, isn’t it the same?!” Yang Ming asked puzzled.
“You can keep it that way, but that guy, Xia Bingbao, had designated you to go. I can’t help it.” Chen Fei said helplessly, “However, the Bureau of Investigation has secret office locations in every city. It is a must not to let outsiders know about it.”
Yang Ming thought, What not let outsiders know? The police are not outsiders, right? I am sure that this Xia Bingbao is not happy that I hung up the phone just now and wants to find another opportunity to clarify things.
However, the situation had become like this. Yang Ming had no other choice but to nod his head and agree to this task. He couldn’t refuse Chen Fei, right?
“Alright, Uncle Chen. Then when do we go?” asked Yang Ming.
“It’s better to be as soon as possible!” Chen Fei said, “Chen Afu may have to be transferred in these two days, so I am afraid that it will be too late.”
“Well, then I will head over in a moment.” Ya/ng Ming had to say. He initially thought that he would be able to relax with w.a.n.g Xiaoyan today, and now it seemed that there was no time.
“Okay, I will contact Chen Dazhuang now and ask him to come to my house. When you arrive, you all can leave.” Chen Fei said, “Right, and Mengyan…”
Yang Ming just wanted to hang up, but he heard there was news of Chen Mengyan and immediately was shocked… He hurriedly asked, “What happened to Mengyan?”
“Mengyan has a cold. When you come, help her buy some medicine,” said Chen Fei.
“What? Mengyan has a cold? Why didn’t you say so earlier!?” Yang Ming was shocked and quickly got out of the bathtub. Originally, he thought about dawdling for a while before going to Chen Fei’s house. Now, he didn’t want to stay a minute longer.
“The house is too cold. Maybe she was not able to adapt in a moment. She slept last night, and she started to have a fever and sneezed soon after she got up…” Chen Fei said, “After living at your place for a few days, she has become delicate…”
