Zhutian: Since I was a child, I have been happy to be a father

Although Miao Che had no evidence, the two perpetrators knew the details, so Li Sen and others were put on the wanted list, but since there was no extradition agreement with Canada, they could still stay alive for the time being.

Chen Tao also cooperated with the investigation.

Wu Xianlong also contacted him, hoping that he would help his brother. After all, transferring assets would take a lot of time, and they were originally thinking of making another fortune, so most of their assets were still in the country.

Especially for Wu Xianlong, although he has a high turnover in real estate, it is not high enough to be turned over in a few days. For example, the funds for the Long Beach project have not been recovered yet, so what can he turn over? He can only ask for help in an emergency.

After all, he still has 20 million invested in Brother Tao!

Unfortunately, the capital market is risky and high investments require caution. This investment has already lost about 30%. Brother Tao’s foreign exchange is of great use at the moment, and he is also the focus of Uncle Hat, so we can’t help him at all.

What else could Wu Xianlong do? He could only express his understanding. He would never come back to ask his good brother for money. He even dared not contact Chen Tao much or tell him important information, fearing that he would be traced back.

He and Xie Zhiyuan went to Li Sen's place together. The three families could be regarded as helping each other. At least for the time being, they could work together. As for the long term, it was hard to say. In this situation, it was common for the three families to rebel against each other.

December 24th.

In the afternoon, about half past three.

Chen Tao came out of the police station and took his old classmate's ex-wife Ma Li and daughter Lulu to his stepdaughter Zhao Rui.

He was just cooperating with the investigation and had no suspicion himself. He came here today mainly because of Miao Che's matter.

Although Miao Che said that he was only playing along for the sake of his wife and daughter's safety, and that he had handed over all the $500,000 in stolen money, and that he had tried to find evidence, it was indeed not easy for him to be believed if he just said what he wanted. After all, who knows whether he was trying to hide the evidence or was involved in the corruption but was worried about the truth being exposed, so he turned himself in? Everything had to be based on solid evidence.

Therefore, it is necessary to get to know Miao Che through outsiders. Although Chen Tao and he are old classmates, think about it, if there is no relationship at all, how can he know Miao Che's character, let alone testify?
At night, Binjiang Community.

Zhao Rui was not in the mood to do her homework today, so she pulled her best friend into the room and tried to comfort her.

In the study, besides Chen Tao and Ma Li, there is also Su Jianren.

Although this guy knew that Li Sen and the others were a bunch of shit, he never thought it would be so outrageous, so he was very curious and couldn't help but gossip and give some comfort:
"Ma Li, don't worry too much! Lao Miao took the money, but he is not that kind of person. He was afraid that you would be in danger, so he didn't dare not take the money or not issue a flawless audit report. We all know what kind of person he is, and we can all testify for him. He will definitely be fine."

Ma Li was still upset and worried.

She naturally had conflicts with Miao Che, otherwise why would she get a divorce? But that didn't mean she didn't care about her ex-husband. She had already made up her mind that no matter what the outcome, she was ready to remarry.

Chen Tao exhaled a puff of smoke and sighed:
"No matter what, the current result is still good. You and Lulu will basically not encounter danger again, and Lao Miao will not be further involved with them. Even if you really can't make it in Shenmao in the future, you can come to me."

Ma Li thanked him, but then couldn't help complaining:

"Lao Miao is too stubborn! He shouldn't have come back to work in the first place!"

Chen Tao had no choice but to reflect: "It's also my fault that I couldn't help myself and told him about Xie Zhiyuan's problems."

Ma Li quickly said, "Old Zhao, this is none of your business! If you don't tell him, he won't give up."

Su Jianren knew very well that it was Chen Tao who took action this time, but in a sense, he did not act in time, which did harm Miao Che and Tao Wuji, both master and apprentice.

But this obviously cannot be blamed on him.

After all, he didn't know that group of people were so cruel.

Therefore, Su Jianren also kept it a secret and did not reveal the details.

In fact, even if he told it, Chen Tao would not admit it. Even if we traced the source to find the whistleblower, we would not find Chen Tao.

Brother Tao doesn’t like to leave his name behind when he does good things.

at night.

Chen Tao returned to Jing'an, and Ma Li and Lulu stayed here. They lived with Zhao Rui during this period.

When Su Jianren thought about Brother Tao having two beauties accompanying him, he felt jealous and decided to go find a new girlfriend, who was also a college student, but she didn't have that kind of feeling at all.

Because this girl was only after money and was too lazy to argue with him. She just wanted him to be quick and get the job done, which made him very depressed, so he had to learn some technology, which made him even more depressed.

So we have to admit that he is really inferior to his old rival in every aspect. Although he is old, he still has a lot to learn. You can never finish learning from Brother Tao in your lifetime!

Today is Christmas Eve. Although the two ladies have no faith, they still took the initiative to show their Christmas specials. The 20-year-old lady has a soft body and a sword hanging from her waist to kill the foolish man. Unfortunately, her skills are not enough and she is defeated. Good poem, good poem!
The next day.

early morning.

As soon as Zheng Yuanyuan opened her eyes, she saw her husband with his back to her, coaxing his young wife, whom he had always loved very much, with a bunch of sweet words and flowery words, which made the other party very happy and excited. She couldn't help feeling a little jealous and used two-finger Zen with two tender fingers.

Unfortunately, Master Chen's magical powers have reached perfection and he is not afraid of being pinched, so he continues to coax Xiaoman.

Zheng Yuanyuan became even more annoyed. She turned over and lay on his back, gently twisting his ear and deliberately scolding him:

"Do you have any sense of public morality? What time is it now? I still have classes to go to! If you want to talk, go outside and don't disturb my sleep."

Xiaoman burst out laughing, knowing full well that her queen was jealous again.

Chen Tao pretended not to know and said "oh" honestly. Then he pretended to stand up and carried Xiaoman to the living room.

Naturally, I couldn't go.

He had to stay and reflect while Xiaoman went to prepare breakfast.

After reflecting on herself for seven or eight hundred times, Zheng Yuanyuan felt that it was okay, and she returned to being a considerate and good wife. She hugged him gently, chatted with him and joked:

"Why are you going to the police station with that Ma Li again today? When have you ever been so attentive to other women? You wouldn't, wouldn't you have that thought? You're really perverted!"

Chen Tao deliberately said: "Nonsense! How old is she this year? I still have any ideas?"

Zheng Yuanyuan snorted, "What's wrong with being a little older? I don't know how much older you are than me, but I still love you!"

Chen Tao did not follow the routine and actually punched: "Can it be the same?"

Zheng Yuanyuan laughed out loud. She had already fallen in love with this scumbag and pestered him again, asking him to grow strawberries for her.

This way, her newest bootlicker will give up.

She has too many lickers.

Chen gladly obeyed the order.

At eight o'clock, after breakfast, Xiaoman drove with Zheng Yuanyuan to school.

Chen Tao first took care of his newly opened sea tank for a while, and then at nine o'clock, he went to Lujiazui to pick up Ma Li.

Both ladies strongly support him in raising fish or fishing. After all, spending time on these hobbies is better than playing with those wild women outside.

ten o'clock.

After being arrested, Chen Tao met two acquaintances, one of whom was his goddaughter Hu Yue, and the other was the deceased Tao Wuji's predecessor, Tian Xiaohui.

Tian Xiaohui is both Tao's ex-girlfriend and Shen Jing's cousin, so there is no reason for her to refuse the investigation.

In fact, Shen Jing did not do anything good after her comeback. She was at least involved in the crime of manipulating the securities market. What role did Tian Xiaohui play in it? Obviously, she was not innocent.

This time it's not just a criminal case, the economic investigation department has also intervened. Calling her here today is actually a detention.

After Hu Yue learned about it, he took a leave of absence to come and visit.

Hu Yue should be pregnant now, and has moved into her new home, and the nanny Chen Tao found for her is already in place. She is actually an orphan, so she doesn't have to worry about her family's objection.

inside the car.

Chen Tao touched her belly and said with a smile:

"If they knew I got you pregnant, I would be in trouble."

Hu Yue asked with a smile: "How tragic is it exactly? Will the two godmothers leave you just because you got me pregnant? Then I will reluctantly keep you all to myself!"

Chen Tao said bluntly: "They love me more than you do. Although they will be angry, they will forgive me in the end and then join forces to deal with you, the mistress."

Hu Yue said coquettishly: "No, I am your goddaughter, not a mistress, so my love for you is different from theirs, and they shouldn't punish me."

Chen Tao pinched her face again: "I really want to know what the difference is. If you are free in the afternoon, come to Jing'an to find me."

Hu Yue agreed readily. She also wanted to try out her godfather's current office to see how it was different from the previous one.

After some flirting, she talked about Tian Xiaohui:
"Alas, she is so unlucky! Her boyfriend was murdered, and she was reported by others for what she did with Shen Jing. It will probably be difficult for her to get away with it."

This "others" is actually Yuanzhou Trust and other related units, such as Shengyuan Fund where Shen Jing placed her, and even Qingyuan Guarantee which is actually controlled by Xie Zhiyuan.

Since something has happened and Xie Zhiyuan and Shen Jing are not coming back, someone must be found to take the blame.

And who else could this person be other than Tian Xiaohui?

In the play, Shen Jing let her take the blame.

She is Shen Jing's confidant, and her crime of participating in manipulating the securities market is a foregone conclusion. There is even reason to suspect that Tao Wuji's death has a lot to do with her, so her prospects are indeed not very optimistic.

And her mother who loves to trade stocks...

in the afternoon.

Chen Tao leaned back in his chair, smoking a big cigar.

Hu Yue squeezed into his arms, squinting her eyes to enjoy the aftertaste. Just as she was enjoying it, she suddenly received a call from Tian Xiaohui, and learned that her mother had committed suicide at home.

That's weird... bullshit.

Don’t think that in the drama, it was because Tian Xiaohui manipulated the market that her mother suffered huge losses and committed suicide out of depression. Now that there is no manipulation, such a thing will not happen.

Because her mother is a person with a strong gambling habit, it is not surprising that she would put her house at stake. If she doesn't see the prospect, she might cause trouble.

It just so happened that my daughter had an accident recently, and I had suffered a great loss. I couldn't get over it for a while, so I just ended it all.

However, Aunt Jiang, who saved her life in the play, was not at home but was shopping outside, so no one came to save her and she was suffocated to death by gas.

After listening to Hu Yue's retelling, Chen Tao hugged her waist and took this opportunity to persuade her:
"Don't bother with her anymore. She helped Shen Jing and manipulated the stock market, harming more than one person. Her mother got into trouble today, and it was retribution."

Is there anything wrong with this statement? No.

He is even more righteous than Tao Wuji who had a final duel with Zhao Hui in the play!
Hu Yue said lightly, "If you want me to stay away from her, just say it! How can I not listen? I am your daughter, I must listen to you, Dad."

Chen Tao said sternly: "Yueyue, don't call me that from now on. You can only call me husband, and you are not allowed to call me dad anymore."

Hu Yue shook her head and said, "No, it's easy to find a boyfriend, but it's hard to find a satisfactory father. At worst, we can just be father and daughter in the future and not have any physical contact."

What else can Chen Tao do to her?
We can only educate them slowly in the future.

That night.

Hu Yue still went to visit Tian Xiaohui, who was temporarily released to deal with her mother's funeral.

Cheng Jiayuan was naturally not absent.

Jiang Rui did not come. In fact, after Tao Wuji's death, Hu Yue and others no longer took him to play together. Now he could only find other old classmates to live with.

Anyway, he couldn't go home and he didn't want to face those creditors, so he just left it to Lao Deng at home to deal with!
Chen Tao was not worried that he would provoke Zhao Rui again.

If he confesses, I'll crush him to death.

at night.

before going home.

Cheng Jiayuan finally couldn't help it and expressed his feelings to Hu Yue.

Hu Yue breathed a sigh of relief and directly and firmly rejected it:

"Alas, we are not suitable, and I don't have any feelings for you."

Cheng Jiayuan was actually prepared to be rejected, but when he was really rejected, he still felt very uncomfortable and actually cried.

Hu Yue has a very high EQ. Although she wanted to, she did not dare to truly comfort the boy, lest the boy still have expectations of her. So she had to resolutely get into her car and go home with sighs and emotions about the past.

After wiping away his tears, Cheng Jiayuan went to a bar to get drunk. He ran into Su Jianren, who was looking very stylish. He felt very awkward for a moment and pretended not to see him.

After Chen Tao learned about it, he commented sharply:
"Father and son are fighting in battle, why don't you take this opportunity to teach him a lesson?"

Su Jianren took advantage of the situation and asked this love master to educate him and find a school beauty daughter-in-law for the Su family.

Chen Tao naturally did not agree.

He has always had a big appetite, so how could he possibly give a beautiful girl to someone else?

If the pretty girl chooses him, both the father and son will be unhappy.

After New Year's Day, the two ladies entered the exam week, and Chen Tao basically had no need to go to the police station again. He might have to appear in court to testify for Miao Che in the future, but he had nothing to do with the Li Sen case at other times.

Even if he can still contact Wu Xianlong.

Five days.

Wu Xianlong was lying on the hospital bed, and through a video software, he said with an old and dying look:
"Xiao, Xiaohui, I'm afraid that big brother won't survive this Spring Festival. Big brother only has Xiaofei as a son now. You have to take good care of him in the future!"

Chen Tao said seriously: "Brother, you can relax. I didn't have a son, but he is my son. When I have time, I will visit you."

Wu Xianlong nodded with satisfaction, and then made another request:

"Are you short of money? Can you squeeze out one or two million dollars to help my brother out?"

Chen Tao spread his hands and said, "It's really hard to get the money right now. I can't get the money until after the Spring Festival. Big brother, you and Xiaofei should be patient for now!"

Wu Xianlong was very happy to hear this.

Isn't it just waiting until after the Spring Festival?

I can wait!

Grandpa is in good health, and there is no problem waiting until next year's Spring Festival! (End of this chapter)
