The Taming of the Ruffian Hero

Others might not know who Liu Xuehua was, but Chen Yuanxi knew very well that she was Zhao Yuan’s birth mother. Then that old woman was Zhao Yuan’s grandmother! But he had never heard Zhao Yuan mention his grandmother. It seemed that there was another story in Yangzi County.

Zhang Dong was appointed as his secretary and bodyguard by Chen Yuanxi, which was an indisputable thing in anyone’s minds.

Zhang Dong visited Yangzi County, the hometown of Zhao Yuan, and learned from the local people that more than ten years ago, after Liu Xuehua disappeared, Zhu Hui, Liu Xuehua’s mother, knew her daughter’s miserable experience and was so sad that she turned mad and ran away. Her family had searched for her for many years afterwards, but did not find her.

“Don’t mention it to A’yuan. Once A’yuan contacts grandma, Chen Tianjiao will know it. Chen Tianjiao knows grandma’s identity. Maybe because she is crazy, Chen Tianjiao has always asked you to take care of her for different reasons every year. But what’s his purpose? Does he do it out of surveillance or guilt? Go to investigate the relationship between Chen Tianjiao and grandma,” said Chen Yuanxi.

Zhang Dong nodded, and felt that Chen Yuanxi actually called that old woman grandma directly. Thinking about it, he could not help shaking his head and smiling.

“By the way, why can you make investigations so smoothly now?” Chen Yuanxi asked with a smile.

“Wenxi, it’s uncle Lin’s previous subordinates who cooperate with Zhao Yuan in Inner Mongolia. And I guess people cooperate with me in Yangzi County are also uncle Lin’s previous subordinates. I think after recognizing you, uncle Hong Xuan has contacted uncle Lin’s previous subordinates in different places. Except for him, no one is able to make use of so many people,” said Zhang Dong.

“But he has…” Chen Yuanxi thought of Hong Xuan’s appearance and felt painful.

“Uncle Hong Xuan and uncle Lin have been in business for so many years. How could they lose to Chen Tianjiao if they hadn’t adhered to formalities rigidly? They have their own ways to contact each other. See, uncle Hong Xuan found you… But he is too cruel!” Zhang Dong was a little annoyed.

“It doesn’t matter. At that time, he thought I was Chen Yuanxi. But, even if he knew I was Lin Wenxi, he would also scare me with that and wanted me to shrink back from difficulties. I was… too weak,” said Chen Yuanxi.

“You’ve never seen that before, alas!” Zhang Dong frowned.

“Enough, it’s already happened. At least I’ve slept well these days. I’m asking you, did grandma tell you about Aunt Liu in public or in private?” asked Chen Yuanxi.

“She talked with me in the room, and there was no one else.”

“Find a way to let others know that grandma is not in good health, and send her to the hospital. Although she has lost her memory, it was you who had exposed yourself so that she let you know such important information. I think she is still awake in some aspects,” said Chen Yuanxi.

Zhao Yuan sent messages to Chen Yuanxi from Inner Mongolia. He and others continued to investigate Wang Chang, and found that Wang Chang had had a close relationship with the man who had scared Wang Luyao to death in City A before he died. But since Wang Chang died, that man also disappeared.

“Yuan, I think Mo Qian may order uncle Hong Xuan to chase and kill that man. I have contacted uncle Hong Xuan twice, and there is no other way. Do you have any other idea?” asked Chen Yuanxi.

“Hong Yan and his wife can be excluded first. He won’t put his daughter in danger,” said Zhao Yuan.

“You’re talking nonsense! I want you to give me an actual plan, president Zhao of the listed company.”

“You also know that I’m the president of the newly listed company. I’m very busy.”

“You’ll get a prize if you think of a way. You can do whatever you want,” Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.

“You little b*tch…” Zhao Yuan could not help scolding.

“You’re a son of a b*tch,” Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.

Zhao Yuan suddenly said, “Do you remember the Wangs in City A?”

The family had determined to avenge their daughter, but failed in the end, and Chen Yuanxi had asked them to wait patiently.

Zhao Yuan said, “If Hong Xuan is going to kill that man, he will definitely go to City A. Then he is likely to contact the Wangs there. After a few years, the Wangs not only have been forgotten by the Mo Family, but also know both you and Hong Xuan. If they can be trusted, I think there must be something left to them.”

They could just have a try.

Things went better than they thought.

Hong Xuan left a box with a fingerprint lock in City A. Only when Chen Yuanxi’s fingerprints of ten fingers were recorded, could it be opened. Inside it was a list of officials.

Chen Yuanxi could not help being filled with tears when he saw it.

Everything here was left by Lin Ziwei’s previous subordinates, who were still loyal and scattered in different places!

“I’ll leave only two words to you. If that man comes again, tell him ‘don’t kill’!” said Chen Yuanxi.

“I’ll keep it in mind!” said Mr. Wang solemnly.

“No matter you are president Chen or Lin Wenxi, we’ll trust you as long as Hong Xuan trust you. Do you remember what you said in face of my daughter’s tablet?” Mr. Wang looked very gaunt. Although they had a son now, they still could not forget how their daughter died. After their daughter’s death, they had been waiting for nearly eight years, and finally met Chen Yuanxi again.

“I still remember it. And you also need to remember forever, understand?” said Chen Yuanxi.

Mr. Wang nodded with tears in his eyes, “I wouldn’t tell others if I was dying.”

“Actually, you don’t know anything. No one left the box, and no one came to take it. You have a son now, and you have forgotten what had happened in that year, do you understand? Or you’ll lose your little son! We will not meet again after this time,” Chen Yuanxi said, and left with the box.

Mrs. Wang asked her husband, “What does Lin Wenxi mean?”

Mr. Wang said in a deep voice, “Just do it!”

Chen Yuanxi clearly realized that the man would definitely die. If Hong Xuan could get his message in advance, he should be able to know something from that man. There were more and more pieces of evidence about the Mo Family, while there was little about Chen Tianjiao. Except for an unimportant matter about Wang Wankun, they had found out nothing.

But with such a list, many things seemed to be easy.

First of all, it was found that Chen Tianjiao actually graduated from the primary school where Zhu Hui had practiced as a teacher. Zhu Hui had done something good to him, but the two had no relationship since Chen Tianjiao graduated. Then, they knew that there were already people in Beijing who supported petitions and were preparing for it. After that, it was told that at the place where Lin Ziwei was killed, some villagers saw strangers appear, but they were afraid to say it out because of threats. Then, Captain Cao, the leader of one team in the former Yangzi County police station, told Chen Yuanxi that he had been deliberately harassed when he investigated the case, which he had reported to his superiors, but it was useless. He also told Chen Yuanxi that he had found out that a lot of mud had been lost at a construction site.

A lot of details came to the surface gradually.

Chen Yuanxi dared not act rashly and alert the enemy. He firmly remembered that Hong Xuan had said that Mo Qian would kill people at first once he realized the threat.

Now Zhu Hui was of great importance to investigate Chen Tianjiao.
