Chapter 745: Another Ghost Encounter with Afu (B)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“But it must be low-key. The ident.i.ty of Edward is special. He can’t be exposed…” Chief w.a.n.g whispered. The sound was soft; only Xia Xue could’ve heard it. No one else could’ve heard it. However, no one would deliberately listen to it. After all, there were organizational disciplines, and some tasks were secretly executed.
However, Yang Ming had been paying attention to Chief w.a.n.g. Although he couldn’t hear Chief w.a.n.g, Chief w.a.n.g’s lips were clear.
Two foreigners? Edward? Yang Ming was motivated. Could these two guys have died in a car accident? No wonder these two guys didn’t appear over these few days.
Logically, a big issue such as Edward and Little Dorsk who encountered a car accident should be reported in the newspaper. However, when the police checked the ident.i.ties of the two, they found that Edward was a terrorist wanted by the Interpol.
This man originally worked in a mercenary group in Africa and partic.i.p.ated in several terrorist attacks. Edward’s original name wasn’t Edward, and Edward was a fake ident.i.ty he made after leaving the mercenary group.
Therefore, this kind of thing involved some confidentiality. It couldn’t be disclosed casually, so the newspapers hadn’t reported it.
Although Yang Ming didn’t know the specific inside story, he saw Chief w.a.n.g lower his voice, and it wasn’t reported. He figured out that the issue wasn’t fit to be exposed publicly. Therefore, he didn’t ask any questions.
Chief w.a.n.g asked Xia Xue to drive Xiao Zhao back and ask him on the way about the situation about encountering a ghost. Since Chen Fei didn’t have any serious problems, Chief w.a.n.g and the other leaders also bid farewell to Mother Chen and left.
Almost everyone left, leaving only Mother Chen, Yang Ming, Chen Mengyan and several civilian police from the Criminal Investigation Team.
“Yang Ming, you should take Little Yan home first…” Mother Chen said, “I’m fine here, and it is useless if you’re all here.”
“Mom… I have to stay here with my father.” Chen Mengyan wasn’t obedient.
“Be a good girl, Little Yan. Your dad had been anesthetized, and he won’t be waking up tonight!” Mother Chen said, “You go back to rest early. Come and bring some food for your dad tomorrow morning.”
“Then… okay…” Chen Mengyan also understood that her mother was telling the truth, but she was still concerned. “Then… if Dad wakes up, no matter how late, can you call me?”
“Okay… you should go first. I have no problem. Old Cai and Old Li are all here…” Mother Chen was referring to Officer Cai and Deputy Captain Li.
Chief w.a.n.g was the leader of Chen Fei. He came and visited just to pay his respect. It was impossible for him to stay. However, Old Cai and Deputy Captain Li were all under Chen Fei. It was normal for them to stay here.
“Then Aunty Chen, you should rest soon,” Yang Ming said politely. He was thinking, I have to inform my parents to come over tomorrow. My parents and Chen Fei have already met each other. The two families have basically approved my relations.h.i.+p with Chen Mengyan, so it is necessary for my parents to come.
” En , I know. You should drive slowly. Be safe.” Mother Chen muttered.
“Don’t worry, Aunty Chen.” Yang Ming nodded and said.
He went out of the hospital with Chen Mengyan. Although Chen Mengyan was still worried, she looked much better now compared to before.
“Fortunately, Uncle Chen is in no danger.” Yang Ming smiled kindly, “This is the best outcome.”
“That’s true. That broken leg will heal after resting for a while.” Chen Mengyan said, “It so happens that my dad usually doesn’t have a holiday. Consider it as a vacation.”
“It’s best that you can think like this.” Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan got in the car and headed for Chen Mengyan’s home.
Chen Mengyan’s mood was still not too good, so Yang Ming deliberately teased her.
“Have you gone online recently?” asked Yang Ming.
“No… You have been busy with the company recently, and you’re not online. I don’t have many netizens friends on QQ.” Chen Mengyan said.
” Oh , yes, I saw Zhang Bing’s QQ signature that day. It’s especially funny,” said Yang Ming.
“What signature?” Chen Mengyan asked casually, “How did I not see it?” Chen Mengyan’s QQ also had Zhang Bing’s number.
“You may not have paid attention to it.” Yang Ming said, “He wrote on it, ‘The person I admire most in my life is Xu Xian’…”
Speaking up to here, Yang Ming deliberately paused, and Chen Mengyan was somewhat puzzled. “Xu Xian in the White Snake[1]? Why does he admire Xu Xian?”
“I haven’t finished yet. He said, ‘The person I admire most in my life is Xu Xian because he dares to gra.s.s[2] snakes.’” Yang Ming said seriously.
” En ?” Chen Mengyan glanced at him and immediately responded. She held back a smile and glared at Yang Ming saying, “You are disgusting.”
“It’s what he said. I’m just retelling it…” Yang Ming said innocently.
“Then, can’t you change the words to something more polite? For example, because he found a snake to be his girlfriend…” Chen Mengyan rebuked.
“The meaning isn’t the same…” Yang Ming smiled.
“That’s not the same… Who said that the girlfriend must do that…?” Chen Mengyan replied with a red face, forgetting the worry in her heart for the time being.
That… Seeing Chen Mengyan’s appearance, Yang Ming’s heart was abruptly moved. Just now, she was going to Tavern Heaven on Earth? Could it be that she wanted to do it with me…? Yang Ming was somewhat uncertain, but thinking about Chen Mengyan’s appearance before, there was an 80% possibility.
However, the matters with Chen Fei had emerged, and it wasn’t appropriate for Yang Ming to ask Chen Mengyan about her previous thoughts.
“Right, the day after tomorrow Is the first night of Shu Ya’s concert. Can you go?” Yang Ming changed the subject.
“I don’t know… It depends on my father’s injury… or you can go with Lin Zhiyun.” Chen Mengyan shook her head.
“If we go, we go together. If you’re not going, what are we going to do there?” Yang Ming was originally thinking about going with Lin Zhiyun and Chen Mengyan separately, but now the relations.h.i.+p between Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun had become clear. There was no need to act separately. It wouldn’t be nice.
“I still don’t want to… Three people… It would be very awkward.” Chen Mengyan didn’t agree.
“Then we’ll talk about it later.” The car stopped at the downstairs of Chen Mengyan’s home. Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan got out and said, “I take you upstairs.”
” En …” Chen Mengyan nodded. It was so late, and she was a little scared.
After reaching her door, Chen Mengyan was preparing to take out the key to open the door. A man rushed down from the stairs, scaring Chen Mengyan and Yang Ming. Yang Ming’s attention wasn’t placed in the corridor, so he didn’t use his special ability to detect it in advance.
” Ah !” Chen Mengyan exclaimed. The key in her hand almost fell to the ground.
“Who are you?!” Yang Ming yelled because this person’s behavior was strange. He didn’t run straight down after coming down from upstairs but stood in front of Chen Mengyan and Yang Ming.
Obviously, the man was a bit worried about Yang Ming’s violent yell, so he said, “Who are you?”
“Who am I?” Yang Ming was almost unhappy. You came out to scare people and asked who I am?
“You are Chen Mengyan?” The man didn’t wait for Yang Ming to answer and turned his head to Chen Mengyan.
“You are?” Chen Mengyan also doubtfully frowned. She didn’t seem to know the person in front of her, but he was familiar.
“I am your Second Uncle. Have you forgotten? I hugged you when you were young…” The man grinned and revealed the wrinkles on his face.
“Second Uncle?” Chen Mengyan then took a closer look at the person in front of her, it seemed that it really was her own Second Uncle! She had seen this person in her mother’s photo alb.u.m.
However, Chen Mengyan was very young at that time. Her parents had just started working. Her Second Uncle was sentenced for embezzling a large sum of money in his company. It was said that it was a huge sum of money. However, it was only twenty thousand yuan. Looking at it now, it wasn’t much. But in the early 1990s, there were not many households with ten thousand yuan. So, twenty thousand yuan was a huge number. Fortunately, he returned it in time, otherwise, his sentence might have been more serious.
“It’s me; it’s me…” The man thought that Chen Mengyan recognized him and nodded quickly.
Yang Ming watched this person with great vigilance. Apparently, Chen Mengyan wasn’t very familiar with this person, so Yang Ming would immediately act as soon as this person had done something that wasn’t conducive to Chen Mengyan.
“You looked for me… Why?” Chen Mengyan was still very vigilant. She quietly put the key in her hand into her pocket and leaned against Yang Ming.
“This guy is your boyfriend? He looks good, not bad…” The man turned his head and praised Yang Ming.
Yang Ming frowned, then said, “This gentleman, what the h.e.l.l do you want? Even if you’re Chen Mengyan’s Second Uncle, then shouldn’t you prove your ident.i.ty?”
The man was surprised. A glimpse of anger flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared instantly, turning into a peaceful smile. “Look, I have forgotten. Indeed, we haven’t met for so many years. Anyone would be suspicious… I just got out of prison. This is my letter of release upon completion of my sentence…”
As he said this, the man took a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Chen Mengyan.
Chen Mengyan took the paper that the person handed over and looked at it carefully. It turned out to be a prisoner’s release letter. The name above was really the name of her Second Uncle, Chen Dazhuang, and the release date was today.
Yang Ming also glanced at the release letter, and the photo above was indeed the person in front of him. However, Yang Ming’s heart was still a little vigilant. This person was just released, but instead of rus.h.i.+ng home, why did he come to Chen Mengyan’s home?
Could he be looking for Chen Fei for trouble? Back then was Chen Fei the one who handled his case? However, Yang Ming took a look at the date of the sentence and rejected the idea.
At that time, Chen Fei had just joined his work. This was mentioned when Chen Fei was chatting with his father, Yang Dahai. At that time, Chen Fei was only responsible for some errands in the police station and had not yet worked in the Criminal Investigation Team.
Moreover, this case of misappropriation of public funds should also have been handled by the Department of Economic Affairs, so it wasn’t related to Chen Fei.
