Chapter 485 Guess
"Dacheng, I don't have any problems here. I'm in school all day, and you pick me up when I go in and out.

But if this person is really targeting you, I am more worried about your safety and the safety of the children."

What Luo Min said made sense. Assuming that person was really sent by an organization and intended to cause trouble for Li Yancheng by controlling her, it would not be easy to touch her.

After she entered the school gate, she would only come out in the evening when she had no classes and after classes in the afternoon. She would hardly step out of the school gate at other times.

No matter how brave that person is, he would never dare to rush into the school.

If he couldn't succeed with her, the only option left was to change his target.

To divert the target, one would either go directly to Li Yancheng, the real owner, or if one knew the children's situation, one would more likely go to the children. After all, in the eyes of adults, children would be easier to control.

"Children!" Li Yancheng muttered repeatedly after hearing his wife's words, and then said: "I will report the situation to the leader when I go back later, and ask the security department to send someone to secretly protect the children for a few days."

The Social Affairs Bureau has its own set of procedures for protecting the families of front-line workers. Once any signs are discovered, the protection procedure will be initiated immediately. It is their own home ground, so there have never been any mistakes over the years. On the contrary, with the help of this set of procedures, people who wanted to take revenge have been caught.

Li Yancheng still had some doubts about what had just happened. He even suspected that the Cao brothers might have hired someone to do it.

Seeing her husband's furrowed brow, Luo Min, who was sitting in the passenger seat, reached out and placed her husband's right hand on the gear lever and squeezed it gently.

"Dacheng, no matter what happens, don't hide it from me. We are husband and wife. We should share happiness and difficulties together."

Hearing his wife's words, Li Yancheng turned his head to look at her, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not hide anything from you. After all these years, you should understand me."

"Then tell me, is it possible that it's because of the Cheng family?"

!!!

Luo Min's words made Li Yancheng slightly stunned. He knew what his wife meant. It was nothing more than the issue of inheritance of family property in a wealthy family.

He is the eldest son and grandson of the Cheng family. He had been missing before, and it would have been fine if he couldn't be found, but now that he has been found, he will definitely be eligible to inherit the Cheng family's massive assets in the future. Even if it is only a part of it, it will be an astronomical figure.

If it weren't for him, others might have gotten more.

The old man of the Cheng family is still alive and still holds a large portion of the shares of the companies controlled by the Cheng family. According to the old man's old-fashioned ideas, the family property should be left to the eldest son, and the eldest son should give it to his own eldest son.

Although Li Yancheng was not sure how much assets the Cheng family had now, based on what he knew so far, it was no exaggeration to say that they were rich enough to rival a country.

The interests involved here are really too great.

It is said in Das Kapital that when there is a profit of 300%, capital dares to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged.

The same applies when it comes to inheriting property from a wealthy family.

From ancient times to the present, has this kind of drama been performed less often?
Li Yancheng's mind flashed with Cheng Jianwen's face, which was very similar to his own. If we talk about loss, if the Cheng family recognizes him, this brother will suffer the greatest loss in the future.

Although he had said that he was not interested in the Cheng family's property and would not accept any gifts from the Cheng family, there are always variables in everything, and only the dead are the most reliable.

only……

Could it be him? Or another heir of the Cheng family?

Do not!
As soon as the second thought came to his mind, Li Yancheng rejected it.

Because at present, except for Cheng Huaigu, Fu Shuyi and Cheng Jianwen and his wife, the rest of the Cheng family probably don't know that the eldest son and grandson of the Cheng family, who had been missing for more than 30 years, has been found.

But is Cheng Jianwen really capable of finding the right person in such a short time?

To be honest, Li Yancheng was skeptical about this.

From the time Cheng Jianwen learned that his brother had been found, only a week had passed, and he had spent most of this week in the country.

How does he arrange the right people?
Entrust it to someone else? It won't be enough in time.

It shouldn't be him!
Li Yancheng felt that it was still unknown whether Cheng Jianwen had any bad thoughts about him, but he thought that if the man today was really there to follow his wife, it should have nothing to do with his younger brother.

Perhaps knowing that her groundless speculation was not a good idea, Luo Min added without waiting for her husband to speak: "Dacheng, don't let your imagination run wild. I just said it casually. It's not..."

"No, no, no," Li Yancheng interrupted his wife before she finished speaking.

"My dear, what you said makes sense. The Cheng family's assets are too valuable. Now that I'm suddenly here, I'm likely to take a large portion of the assets. This will definitely make many people dissatisfied, so it's normal for them to have some crooked thoughts.

But I think if there really was someone following us just now, it probably has little to do with the Cheng family, at least it doesn’t seem like it today.”

"Why?" Luo Min asked curiously. She wanted to hear why her husband thought so.

"Because there is not enough time. If someone in the Cheng family wants to do something to me, the most likely person is Cheng Jianwen. The rest of the Cheng family doesn't know that I have been found yet.

Even if Cheng Jianwen wanted to take action against me, he didn't have enough time. It was only a week after he arrived in Hong Kong that he found me. If he was in Hong Kong, the United States, or any other country abroad, he might have the ability to arrange someone to take action within a week.

But this is in China. I'm not looking down on him. He really doesn't have the ability to find the right people in this land within a week. As for transferring people from abroad, there is obviously not enough time. Even if he travels from Hong Kong Island, it won't be in time."

"Is it possible that he already knew about your existence?"

"It's possible, but the most he knows is that his brother, whom he has never met, has been found. It's impossible for him to know who it is. Honey, don't forget that we met for the first time the day before yesterday."

"Oh, right! How could I forget this?" Luo Min nodded in sudden realization, then raised his hand and knocked his head in annoyance, as if he felt that he was simply too stupid.

Seeing her actions, Li Yancheng stretched out his right hand and rubbed his wife's hair twice with some amusement.

"Drive faster, Dacheng. The two kids must be waiting anxiously at home and they must be hungry."

That's right. They have been delayed there for so long and it is almost seven o'clock now. Normally, they should be home at half past six at the latest.

"Brother, why haven't mom and dad come back yet? I'm hungry."

In the Li family's yard, the friends who did their homework with Huansheng and Xiaoyu have already gone home for dinner. The two of them have also finished their homework for today, but their parents have not come back yet.

After Xiao Xiaoyu packed her schoolbag, she touched her belly and said pitifully.

Huansheng took his and his sister's schoolbags and ran into the living room to put them down. Seeing that it was only five minutes before seven, he knew that his parents must have been delayed by something, so he volunteered to say to his sister, "Brother, can I cook for you?"

"Brother, can you cook?" Xiao Xiaoyu obviously didn't believe that her brother could cook, because apart from going to the kitchen to fetch rice before meals and occasionally washing dishes after meals, she had never seen her brother enter the kitchen again.

"Uh..." Huan Sheng was a little speechless. His sister's suspicion was absolutely correct. He really couldn't cook. Not to mention cooking, he couldn't even use a gas stove.

Thinking of the gas stove in the kitchen that he had no idea how to light, Huan Sheng scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "By the way, Xiaoyu, there are some cookies at home, let's eat a few first."

"Okay then." Xiaoyu nodded obediently: "Brother, let's go wash our hands first."

Although she followed her brother's advice, it was not difficult to hear from her tone that she agreed very reluctantly.

Biscuits, canned fruits and candies, which are full of temptation for other children and are eaten less than twice a year, have been indispensable to these brothers and sisters since childhood. They have reached the point where they will not eat them unless it is absolutely necessary.

Li Yancheng never mistreats his children in terms of food and drink. He also has no idea of ​​raising his son poorly and his daughter well. He treats his two children equally. He never tells his son that he has to give way to his sister because he is the older brother. He only tells him that he has to take good care of his sister and protect her because he is the older brother. He always instills in his children the idea that they should tell their dad what they want to eat and drink, and he will buy it for them as long as he can buy it, but they cannot ask for others’ things, let alone ask others for them.

He didn't know whether his educational method was right or not. He had educated his child in the same way in his previous life. Anyway, the child had not grown up in a wrong direction since his soul traveled through time. He was very outstanding, and performed very well both in study and in dealing with people.

The same is true for these two children in this life. Perhaps it is because of him that their joy and laughter are particularly popular in this alley. Both adults and children like them very much.

The two children simply washed up in the bathroom together, then Huansheng took out the iron bucket of biscuits from the cupboard and turned on the TV. He did not forget to pour a cup of hot water for his sister and himself respectively. The two sat on the sofa together, drinking water, eating biscuits and watching TV.

By the time Li Yancheng and Luo Min entered the house, it was already 7:20.

Hearing the voices of her parents coming from the front yard, little Xiaoyu put on her slippers and ran out shouting. When she saw her father, who was still a few steps away from her, she jumped up, forcing Li Yancheng to trot two steps and hug his naughty little daughter in his arms.

"Mom and Dad, you're finally back. I'm almost starving."

After snuggling in his father's arms for a while, little Xiaoyu got down to the ground and ran to his mother, opening his arms and asking for a hug.

Luo Min didn't spoil her. She was already a seven-year-old girl, so she refused to hug her. She just reached out and pinched Xiaoyu's face twice.

"Okay, since you're hungry, go wash your hands and get ready to eat. Your dad just bought you some Goubuli on the way back."

Knowing that he would be back late, it might be eight o'clock by the time he cooked and ate, Li Yancheng bought some Goubuli buns on the way so that he could eat them directly when he got back.

"Mom, my brother and I washed our hands and we ate a few cookies."

"Well, it's not bad. You two are not stupid. You know to find something to eat when you are hungry."

"Mom..." Little Xiaoyu was a little dissatisfied with her mother's ridicule. She rolled her eyes and ran back to the living room.

Li Yancheng also felt helpless about this. He didn't know why his wife would often tease their daughter for no reason, as if she liked seeing her jumping up and down.

And she has never liked holding her daughter. No, that's not right. It's not that she doesn't like holding her daughter. She doesn't like holding either her son or daughter. She was like this when the two children were young. Except for feeding during the day, she would almost never hold them unless she could.

Of course, this is even more true for other people’s children, which gives people the impression that they don’t like children.

But if you really say she doesn't like her child, her concern for her child has not diminished at all. Just like what happened just now, her first reaction was to worry about the child's personal safety.

For this reason, he asked several times, and the answer he got every time was, "It's enough for you to hold the baby, I don't need to hold him, our family has a strict mother and a kind father."

Well, strict mother and kind father, every time he heard his wife say this, he could not have any other reaction except helplessness.

The family of four ate steamed buns and each drank a bowl of prepared milk powder. It was already eight o'clock when they finished eating and drinking. The two children were very sensible and knew it was getting late, so they did not go out.

Huansheng took his sister to play Go, the game of Gobang that their father taught them. Just when Li Yancheng was about to go out for a walk with his wife as usual to digest the food, the man named Guan Wanchang, whom he asked Erzi to help notify yesterday, came over.

"Lao Guan, I'm sorry to bother you with this trip."

"From what you said, you must have something to ask Erzi to come to me. It's probably to clean up the house. Send me some money, not to mention asking me to come to your place. Even if you want to go to Rouhuai, I will go there quickly."

Because he wanted to smoke, Li Yancheng did not bring Guan Wanchang into the house. He just sat at the stone table in the yard. Luo Min brought him a pot of freshly brewed tea. He chatted briefly with Lao Guan for a few words and then went into the house.

"Didn't Erzi tell you why I came to see you?"

"The kid didn't say anything." Lao Guan shook his head, reached out to take the cigarette handed to him by Li Yancheng, and took out matches to help both of them light the cigarettes.

"Just said you asked him to tell me to come over when I have time. I just thought I had nothing to do these two days."

Not bad, he kept his mouth shut. Hearing what Lao Guan said, Li Yancheng nodded secretly in his heart.

"You guessed it right. I came to you to clean up the house."

"Are you really cleaning the house?" Lao Guan was slightly stunned and turned around to look around the yard.

This yard was renovated by him, his brothers, and nephews not long ago.

"Is there something wrong with that room?"

"No, no, not here."

"Any other places? You bought another yard?" Lao Guan asked in disbelief.

Although this courtyard is just a standard courtyard with two entrances and a small area, it may belong entirely to one family, which is quite rare and unique in the surrounding area.

After the last cleanup, the living facilities in the yard were complete and very convenient. Not to mention other people, even someone as knowledgeable as Lao Guan was envious. Now when he heard that other places had to be cleaned up, his eyes almost fell to the ground.

"Yes, I am planning to buy another yard. If I need to clean up that yard, it will make a lot more noise than this one. I am asking you to come here to notify you in advance so that you can get ready early."

"Which yard? Is it still in this area? Why haven't I heard of any yards with independent property rights nearby?"

"In your area."

"We..." Lao Guan was about to say something, but suddenly stopped. Then, his eyes widened.

It seemed that he had thought of which courtyard Li Yancheng was talking about.

"Yancheng, you are not talking about... Courtyard No. 9? The courtyard that your unit used to occupy?"

"You react very quickly, Lao Guan!" Li Yancheng grinned.

After getting the confirmation, Guan Wanchang swallowed hard, his face full of shock.

How could I not be shocked? Courtyard No. 9 is extremely large. Although it is only one-third the size of the palace on the west bank of Qianhai, that is a palace. How many people lived there in the past? There are only four people in your family. Even if your two children get married and have children in the future, there will only be a few people.

With so few people living in such a big yard, wouldn't they go crazy? Are they playing hide-and-seek in there?

And as far as he knew, that yard would cost at least 40,000 or 50,000 yuan to buy. Is money worthless now? Why didn't he hear about it?
"Yancheng, why did you buy that yard?" Lao Guan asked curiously, and then turned around and looked around: "Isn't this yard big enough for your family of four to live in?"

"Of course it's big enough for living. I didn't buy that yard just to live in it."

"If it's not for living, then why buy it?"

At that moment, Li Yancheng repeated what he had said to the executive vice president of the Beijing Municipal Organization Department in the morning.

Guan Wanchang's expression became serious after hearing his words. He had never expected that the cadre from the Social Affairs Bureau in front of him would have such thoughts.

For an old craftsman like Lao Guan who specializes in the restoration of ancient buildings, seeing that the various traditional buildings in Beijing are becoming less and less, and the well-maintained courtyard houses have been turned into messy slums, his heart is bleeding, but there is nothing he can do.

Now, I suddenly hear someone who has nothing to do with this say that he wants to leave something for future generations. How can I not be shocked?

He looked at Li Yancheng deeply and asked, "So what do you plan to build that yard into?"

"Use the best skills of your Guan family and the best materials you have collected. Repair it in any way you can. You can even repair it to the specifications of a royal palace."
