Starting from 40, holding the Star Mall to lead the motherland

Chapter 32: Falling Behind Will Get Beaten
Chen Wenpeng was driving while chatting with Han Hui. He knew from the phone that Han Hui was very skilled in martial arts. He was currently looking for a bodyguard with strong martial arts skills. This girl had unlimited potential, and he wanted to recruit her.

Han Hui understood his intention to recruit her, and tactfully said that she came to Shanghai mainly to find Han Mengyang, and would go back after finding him.

Not to mention that she didn't know Chen Wenpeng's background yet, even if she knew that his subordinates were good people, it was impossible for her to be a bodyguard for the Chen family.

Chen Wenpeng saw that Han Hui spoke clearly and politely, and he felt that she was a promising talent. However, he knew that he couldn't get the upper hand in a hurry, so he smiled and changed the subject, asking her if she had any education.

After chatting for a while, they arrived at the police station. Chen Wenpeng asked He Sanmei and Han Hui to wait in the lobby while he went inside to look for someone.

Huang Shufen pulled Han Hui aside and asked quietly, "Which household registration do we use to apply for a good citizen certificate?"

Han Hui lowered her voice and said, "Mom, everyone knows we're here to find Han Yongjing, so we must bring our real household registration. Otherwise, they won't guarantee us."

"I'm just afraid of getting into trouble."

Han Hui laughed: "Mom, my hometown is more than a thousand kilometers away from Shanghai, and we are weak women, so we can't find out about this place."

This isn't interstellar space, where wanted notices for all suspects would be posted to the interstellar network. Furthermore, the Japanese blamed the guerrillas for the group's destruction, not the mother and daughter. Even if they were found to be from Zhangshu Village, they could simply say they left before the incident.

Huang Shufen was relieved.

After a while, Chen Wenpeng and a pot-bellied man came out.

Through the introduction, Han Hui learned that the fat man was the deputy director of the police station, and Chen Wenpeng was a section chief. As for which department he was the section chief of, it was difficult to ask, but it was definitely a powerful unit.

With the help of the deputy chief of the police station, their good citizen certificates and passes were quickly processed.

The car arrived at a checkpoint where there were many Japanese soldiers. They checked everyone entering and leaving, not only their passes but also body searches.

Han Hui also noticed that after being searched, the Chinese people had to bow and thank the Japanese. Being treated like this in their own country really proved the old saying that those who lag behind will be beaten.

After Chen Wenpeng took out his ID, the Japanese soldiers only checked their good citizen certificates and passes and let them go.

As she expected, Chen Wenpeng is a powerful man.

Chen Wenpeng parked the car on the side of the road, pointed to the right and said to Han Hui, "This is Yunjingli. There are quite a lot of residents here."

Han Hui was very grateful: "Uncle Chen, thank you so much today."

Chen Wenpeng smiled and said, "You're welcome. You saved my Xiaoxue, and I haven't thanked you properly yet. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, come to me."

Han Hui also wanted to establish a relationship with such a powerful figure. She was unfamiliar with the place, and having a backer would help her gain a foothold more quickly. "Thank you, Uncle Chen. Once my mother and I are settled, I'll go visit Auntie and Xiaoxue."

After entering the Yunjingli, Xiaocao asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Miss, the master lives here, is there a mistake?"

The narrow streets and rows of closely connected houses look cramped and depressing.

Han Hui explained, "This is the heart of Shanghai, where every inch of land is worth a fortune. Owning a house here is fantastic."

Just like their empire's capital planet, housing prices are astronomical for ordinary people. Similarly, Shanghai is now China's most prosperous city, where every inch of land is valuable, and housing prices in the central area are also unattainable for ordinary people.

Xiaocao felt a little embarrassed and decided not to say anything for a while to avoid embarrassing the lady.

These houses all look similar, but fortunately they have house numbers, so it is easy to find them by following the house number.

A young girl holding a book saw them and approached them, asking, "Auntie, are you looking for someone here?" Hearing they were looking for Han Yongjing, the young girl inquired, "What do you want to do with Editor Han?"

Han Hui said, "I am Han Yongjing's daughter, and this is my mother. We can't survive in our hometown, so we have no choice but to come to her."

The young girl looked wary. "How is that possible? Editor Han's wife and daughter died of illness at the beginning of the year."

Huang Shufen's face turned pale. Han Yongjing, that bastard, had actually fabricated such a lie.

Han Hui didn't argue. The girl must have known how to read, seeing as she was holding a book. She took out the marriage certificate of Huang Shufen and Han Yongjing and said, "Wang Anna said my brother died. My mother and I were so heartbroken that we fell ill. But we took medicine and recovered after half a year."

The young girl was very enthusiastic. After confirming that the marriage certificate was real, she took them to Han Yongjing's doorstep and then left.

Han Hui knocked on the door and someone came to open it soon.

The person who opened the door was a woman in her forties. Seeing the three people, she asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Looking for Han Yongjing."

The woman said, "My master has gone to work. I wonder what you want to talk to my master about? If it's something important, I will tell him when he comes back."

"Are you the nanny of this family?"

Seeing the woman nod, Han Hui pointed at Huang Shufen and said, "This is my mother. She is the wife that Han Yongjing brought home in a sedan chair carried by eight men."

Aunt Li was shocked when she heard this. She knew that the master's original wife and their two children were all dead, so why did someone come to her house now?

Han Hui pushed open the door and wanted to help Huang Shufen go in.

Aunt Li stopped them and said, "Wait outside for a moment. I need to tell my wife first."

Han Hui pushed her, but held back, thinking she was just a servant. However, even so, Aunt Li still took two steps back.

Aunt Li didn't dare to stop her and hurried upstairs to find Wang Anna. She didn't want to be beaten by the second young lady who was so strong.

When Wang Anna heard Huang Shufen coming, her first reaction was that it was impossible: "That country woman is dead. She must be a liar. Send her away."

Aunt Li whispered, "Madam, this woman looks a lot like the eldest young master. You should go down and take a look!"

It’s mainly because of the aggressive aura that even a scammer wouldn’t dare to be so blatant!

When Wang Anna went downstairs and saw Huang Shufen and Han Hui, she knew that Han Yongfeng had deceived her. Damn Han Yongfeng, he actually took the money and didn't do the job: "Huang Shufen, what did Yongjing say before? He told you to stay in the countryside quietly, but you actually disobeyed Yongjing and ran here."

Han Hui leaned against the sofa and said contemptuously, "What are you talking about? My mother was married home in a grand sedan chair and offered sacrifices to the ancestors. It's not natural for her to be here. But you, a whore, gave birth to a lowly child. Grandpa and grandma will never recognize you as the daughter-in-law of the Han family."

"Zhao Anna, you, the whore's daughter, and your four bastard children can all live here, so why can't my mother, the wife of the first house, come?"

Old Man Han had no objection to his son taking a concubine, but Wang Anna's mother was a slut, and the old man and his wife disagreed. Later, Wang Anna softened her stance, but she started to argue again. Neither the old woman nor the old man brought their children home for their birthdays. Furious, the old man declared that the daughter of a whore was unfit to enter the Han family, and none of the four children she bore were included in the family tree.

These words touched Zhao Anna's sore spot, and she raised her hand and slapped Han Hui.
