Jiang Qingqing, with a blushing face, said softly, "You're injured."
"Don't move around."
Zhang Liunian understood her meaning and, leaning close to her ear, laughed, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Yesterday, I fought for three hundred rounds with my injuries, and it didn't affect me at all."
It was just a hole; it was really nothing serious. Now, he desired intimacy with his wife even more.
"You... Mmm..." Jiang Qingqing wanted to say something more, but her own man, who had surged forward, silenced her.
What followed was natural and inevitable.
However, after being apart for so long, the intensity of their passion was immense, and it was well past midnight before they knew it.
"No... don't..." Jiang Qingqing was almost exhausted to death. She reached out a small hand to block Zhang Liunian's continuing actions, her voice laced with pleading.
But Zhang Liunian, having just tasted, was not about to let her go easily. He wanted a few more bites, so he reached out his large hand, seized her small one, and began a new journey.
"No..."
Slowly, the pleas for mercy also began to change their tone, making one blush and their heart pound.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. Zhang Liunian woke up refreshed and energetic, leaving the utterly exhausted Jiang Qingqing still in bed, catching up on sleep.
"Don't disturb Qingqing's rest this morning." As he walked out of the bedroom, Zhang Liunian instructed Yi Wanghua.
Yi Wanghua, holding one child in each arm, had dark circles under her eyes. "Can't we find a nanny?"
She was a bodyguard, not a nanny. These past few days, these two children had nearly worn her out.
Hua Bao was fine, as he was sensible now. But the younger one, though only a few months old, already recognized people. When she took him to sleep, he would cry several times a night. She really couldn't handle it anymore.
Zhang Liunian paused, considering this. He said awkwardly, "I'll have Uncle Yi find one later."
"Alright." If her father was handling this, then she would surely be rescued today. Yi Wanghua still had a lot of faith in her father's capabilities.
After all, after interacting with him during this period, she realized her father wasn't as incompetent as she had thought.
She just didn't understand why her father had pretended to be so incapable before. What good did it do him to deceive his own daughter?
Yi Wanghua couldn't understand why her father would deceive her, and why he would now reveal his abilities.
If Yi Wanghua couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't dwell on it. After all, as long as he had no ill intentions towards her, his thoughts wouldn't matter.
Uncle Yi was unaware of his daughter's thoughts. If he knew, he would also wonder why his daughter was so capable in fighting. He didn't know the reason for that either.
Both father and daughter were wary of each other, though "wary" wasn't quite the right word. It was more that they both enjoyed putting on a facade.
At this moment, Uncle Yi was waiting outside. As soon as Zhang Liunian appeared, he stepped forward.
"Uncle Yi, please find me a live-in nanny who can take care of children today." Seeing Uncle Yi step forward, Zhang Liunian immediately arranged the matter he had promised Yi Wanghua.
Uncle Yi nodded. "I understand. However, there's something I need your help with."
Zhang Liunian looked at him in surprise. This was the first time Uncle Yi had asked him for help, and he was a little curious about what it was. He opened his mouth to ask, "What is it?"
Uncle Yi saw that he was only showing curiosity and not agreeing immediately, which made him a little uncertain. He didn't know if he would agree, but then he thought about their interactions during this period and felt that Zhang Liunian was a rather loyal and righteous person, so he should agree.
"I want you to help me rescue a Hong Kong businessman."
Uncle Yi had a somewhat embarrassed demeanor, perhaps knowing that his request might not be entirely appropriate. Before Zhang Liunian could speak, he quickly added, "Actually, the reason I was able to investigate so quickly last time and obtain all the evidence regarding the Chen Jiayuan was because a Hong Kong businessman helped me.
He's not a real Hong Kong businessman; he merely assumed someone else's identity.
He was originally from Pengcheng, but later, unable to make a living there, he went to Hong Kong to develop. Two years ago, for some reason, he returned and then infiltrated the Chen Jiayuan group.
The evidence we obtained was given by him; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to deal with Chen Jiayuan and his associates so quickly."
Zhang Liunian fell silent after hearing this. He neither expressed belief nor disbelief, nor did he agree to rescue the person.
What he was considering was, if what Uncle Yi said was true, why would this person provide the evidence?
Seeing that he remained silent, Uncle Yi suddenly felt uneasy. However, he had said all he could. The decision now rested with Zhang Liunian.
"Who is he?" Zhang Liunian suddenly asked for his name.
Uncle Yi quickly replied, "The Cripple. He got that name because he injured one of his legs. Among the Hong Kong businessmen's association, he's the only cripple."
"..." Zhang Liunian was speechless. He had asked for his real name, but Uncle Yi provided a nickname?
However, the man's name didn't matter. What he wanted to know was something else.
"Was he also involved in Chen Jiayuan's scams?"
"No, he was merely at the bottom of the Hong Kong businessmen's association. He had neither money nor influence, only the identity of being from Hong Kong.
Therefore, he was not qualified to participate in those scams. You can rest assured about this," Uncle Yi quickly defended the Cripple, fearing that Zhang Liunian would count him among them and refuse to help.
Zhang Liunian thought to himself, perhaps it was because he wasn't involved that he held a grudge?
"Why did he help you, and why did he provide this evidence?"
Zhang Liunian didn't believe in favors without reason. This person must have had a motive for doing this.
Uncle Yi seemed to anticipate this question and immediately replied, "To be honest, he was also a member of our tea house before. We had a very good relationship, a life-or-death friendship. I actively sought him out this time to help me; otherwise, he wouldn't have provided it."
His words implied that the evidence was obtained entirely due to their strong relationship, not due to any issues with the other party, and Zhang Liunian didn't need to doubt him.
Zhang Liunian remained noncommittal and silent. After a long pause, he said, "If what you say is true, I will help him by petitioning for him."
Zhang Liunian considered that he couldn't refuse to help in this matter; otherwise, Uncle Yi would be unable to continue assisting him.
Uncle Yi was stunned for a moment, then said with great joy, "Your words are enough. I have also done what a friend should do."
Zhang Liunian said nothing more. After watching Uncle Yi hurry off to handle the matter, he called for Zhang Qian and went to inspect the department store construction site.
Now that the Hong Kong businessmen were no longer involved, Zhang Liunian's construction site had naturally resumed operations.
"Brother Liunian, it seems it really was the Hong Kong businessmen causing trouble. As soon as they had problems yesterday, our construction site was fine," Zhang Qian said excitedly, seeing Xiao Kang leading everyone to resume work.
As long as no one interfered, this construction site could be completed in two to three months.
Zhang Liunian nodded, then went to Hongde Village and Fude Village. As expected, there were no further incidents there.
