Siheyuan, Shazhu: I have both parents in this life

Chapter 372 1987 is coming
He Yuzhu stood up and said, "Then you go and explain, I'll go make the call."

After saying that, He Yuzhu went to the study.

Picking up the phone, He Yuzhu dialed Yuyao's number.

"Hey, Yuyao, it's me, Big Brother."

"Big brother, what's wrong?" He Yuyao hurriedly replied. He had only been gone a short while when his older brother called, so he was afraid it was something urgent.

"Don't panic. Just a reminder: don't tell our parents about Yaozu's attack. Xiao Zhong, don't tell them either. It's best to tell your father-in-law as well, so you don't let anything slip."

"Okay, I wasn't planning on saying that anyway."

"Hmph, your mouth is as big as an old cotton trouser waistband when it comes to your wife, you spill everything, I'm afraid you'll let something slip."

"Brother, how can you talk about your brother like that?"

"Watch yourself."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu thought for a moment and then called Wang Cuiping. Wang Cuiping's reaction was the same as He Yuyao's. However, upon hearing what He Yuzhu had to say, she laughed and said, "No problem. I was originally planning to tell you about it tomorrow. My older sister can't handle this."

"Okay, Aunt Wang, you go ahead with your work."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu tapped his fingers on the desk, thinking about the day's events.

He was worried about the situation in other companies within the group, given that Taishan Security's semi-military management was like this.

Xiaoman arrived shortly after.

"Have you confessed everything?"

"Ah."

"Sit down, I need to talk to you about something."

"it is good."

He Yuzhu shared his concerns with Xiaoman.

"So what are you going to do?" Xiaoman asked.

"First, hold a high-level meeting, then reorganize the entire Yellow River Group."

"Okay, I'll have someone notify you when."

"The day after tomorrow."

"it is good."

Two days later, in the morning at the hotel, in the large conference room on the top floor of the Yellow River Group headquarters, Hong Lang, Gu Yuanheng, Xian Xingyao, Wilson, Lou Xiao'e, Qian Haozheng, Lu Ziming (the newly appointed port manager), Kang Jingxuan (the hotel company manager), Xi Jiaojiao (the communications company manager), Wu Yanyan (the group's finance manager), Shi Bin and other senior executives of Xiangjiang Yellow River Group had all arrived. When they saw the chairman with a livid face walking in with his wife, everyone's hearts skipped a beat.

Everyone stood up and greeted in unison, "Hello, Chairman! Hello, President Qiao!"

"Please sit down," He Yuzhu said, gesturing for everyone to sit.

After sitting down, He Yuzhu glanced around at everyone present and slowly said, "I've gathered everyone here today because something happened the day before yesterday. With Taishan Security in such a state, I'm also very worried about the situation in the other companies in the group!"

“Boss, our real estate business is definitely on board,” Ah Lang interjected.

"Ah Lang, don't give me any guarantees. I know what kind of person you are, but do you know your subordinates, and your subordinates' subordinates? The group is so big now, can you guarantee that everyone is of one mind with the group?"

"this."

"Alright, I called everyone here today because I saw the problem, so I'm giving you all some time to get rid of those bad apples. Lingyi, take Wu Yanyan and supervise. If it involves breaking the law, Wilson, you know what to do."

"Understood, boss!" Wilson quickly stood up and said.

"Yes, boss." Wu Yanyan also stood up.

"Sit down, everyone. We're here to supervise you. It's not that your own departments are without problems; your own departments also need to conduct self-inspections."

"Understood," the two replied in unison.

"Does anyone else have anything to say?" He Yuzhu looked around the room.

"no!"

"Then let's go back and make preparations. Meeting adjourned." After saying that, He Yuzhu got up and walked out of the conference room. Xiaoman followed closely behind, and everyone else stood up, not daring to sit down anymore.

After leaving, He Yuzhu returned to his president's office, and Xiaoman also went to her office.

Before noon, Bai Yifeng knocked on He Yuzhu's office door.

"Boss, we found it. The 'Brother Ming' who called Young Master Yaozu, whose real name is Zhao Ming, is the owner of 'Yongshengxing' videotape company. He also does some brokerage business. He's a small fry with connections to some gangs."

"Where are the people who did the dirty work?" He Yuzhu asked.

“They ran away. They robbed a private clinic and a ‘bride’ (a local official), and then smuggled themselves back to the mainland that very night.”

"The mainland, well, that's a bit troublesome. What about 'Daolao Ming'?"

"He's locked up with me, along with his underlings. That kid's got a really dirty past. What did the boss do with him?"

"Leave it to Yuyao. They've got this lead too. If the person's gone, you'll be in trouble."

"Okay, what should we do with the ones who escaped? Should we send someone?"

"No need. This line can't be crossed, otherwise you won't be able to stay in Hong Kong anymore, and it will also affect me."

"Oh, is it that serious?" Bai Yifeng broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hmm, I'll handle this. Should we go through the official channels? Do we have information on those people?"

"Yes, those people used fake identities. This kid 'Daolao Ming' secretly left behind photos of them, as well as their names, though the names are probably fake."

He Yuzhu took the photo, glanced at it, then scanned the names, and said, "Go and deal with 'Brother Ming's' matter, and also help Shi Bin to sort out the Taishan security situation."

"clear."

After Bai Yifeng left, He Yuzhu picked up the phone on the table and dialed Hua Cheng's number.

The phone rang a few times before being answered, and Wu Qianli's loud voice came through: "Hello? Who is this?"

"Qianli, I am Zhuzi."

"Oh! What a rare guest! What brings the big boss to call me?" Wu Qianli said with a smile.

"Can't I call you?"

"I know you too well, kid. So what's up? Is Yuxin and the others running into trouble again?"

"No, it's not that. Do you know anyone from the border patrol or the armed police?"

"Zhu Zi, are you up to something big? I'm telling you, you can't do anything reckless."

What are you thinking? Do I need it?

"That's good. So, what do you want with them?"

“I’ve run into some trouble here. A few thugs tried to kidnap my son at gunpoint but failed, and they injured some of my men. They’ve now fled back to the mainland. They’re probably settling down in Guangdong province. People like that staying abroad are a threat.”

"Is my nephew alright?"

"It's alright, that kid was just lucky."

"That's good, that's good! Armed kidnapping? You dare to touch my nephew? Damn it! Send me the details, physical characteristics, and possible directions. I have an old comrade-in-arms who was just transferred to the provincial department to oversee criminal investigations. I'll call him right now. These traitors who have crossed the river, now that they've come back, they can forget about sneaking out again!"

"Thanks, brother. I'll have my men organize the information and fax it to you right away."

"Nonsense! Why are you being so polite with me? Just wait for my message!"

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu had someone photocopy the photo and name together and then faxed it to Wu Qianli.

After receiving He Yuzhu's fax, Wu Qianli immediately contacted his old comrade-in-arms who was in charge of criminal investigation in the provincial department and explained the situation. Without him having to emphasize it, his comrade-in-arms knew how serious the nature of the case was.

Smuggling, armed kidnapping, and multiple injuries—the impact is self-evident. It's just that things aren't going smoothly between the two sides right now, otherwise, they would have come looking for them already.

An invisible net has been quietly cast along the coast of Guangdong Province, which is close to Hong Kong.

Patrols and surveillance have been intensified at train stations, docks, long-distance bus stations, as well as several common landing points and potential hiding places for smugglers in Guangdong Province.

The photos of the criminals were quickly distributed to frontline police officers.

Although these bandits were fierce, they were fleeing from a foreign land where they knew no one, and one of them was injured and had difficulty moving, making it quite difficult for him to hide.

Like frightened birds, they hid and fled, trying to find an opportunity to leave the country again or escape to more inland areas.

A few days later, the clues from below gradually came together.

Local residents reported seeing a suspicious-looking, injured man from out of town near a private clinic in a certain county.

Following the clues, the police quickly located their hideout: a simple rented house in a suburban area.

The arrest operation took place in the early hours of the morning.

The police officers quietly surrounded the rented house and broke in with lightning speed.

Even the ruthless thugs inside the house still opened fire.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Da da da"

"Da da da"

The police officers fought back, and one of the ruthless criminals survived, the one who was injured. Two armed police officers were also injured, which shows how fierce the criminals were.

Early in the morning, the interrogation room of a detention center in Guangdong Province was dimly lit.

The only bandit captured alive sat listlessly on an iron bench, his hands wrapped in bandages.

He had no choice but to confess; the force of the armed police had already broken his psychological defenses, and he confessed to all his crimes in a gushing manner.

The leader is called "Black Panther," and he is ruthless and obsessed with the thrill and wealth that violence brings.

They robbed gold shops and watch stores, committed murder and robbery, and eventually took on the "big job" of kidnapping He Yaozu, ultimately resulting in the complete annihilation of their entire operation.

"'Brother Ming' said that if we kidnapped that young master surnamed He, we could extort at least tens of millions, enough for us to live a carefree life for the rest of our days. Who knows?"

This detailed confession was brought over by He Yuyao for He Yuzhu to see.

This case strengthened ties between the two places, partly due to Orion's influence; he exerted a little effort in the process.

After carefully reading the report, He Yuzhu answered Wu Qianli's call again. "Qianli, I understand the situation, thanks!"

“We’re all family, so let’s not mince words. These scumbags deserve to die. The case is huge, the circumstances are too heinous, and we’re taking it very seriously here. Armed forces departments in various regions are also checking to see if there are any similar cases,” Wu Qianli said.

"Yes, we should investigate this thoroughly. Quick money is addictive. These people may not have other skills, but they've really mastered the art of killing."

“This is something the team overlooked,” Wu Qianli said.

"We can't entirely blame you for all coming home at once; there are bound to be all sorts of problems."

“Hey, we can’t find jobs for them. There aren’t enough to go around,” Wu Qianli said.

"Take it slow, prevention is the priority."

“Yes,” Wu Qianli said.

"Alright, I'll treat you to drinks when I get back."

"Hahaha, I'll be waiting then," Wu Qianli said.

"Bye."

"toot toot"

A few days later, Hong Kong newspapers published a brief news item: several notorious criminals who had committed serious crimes in mainland China and shot at armed police officers before resisting arrest were executed in accordance with the law.

As for their connection to the attempted kidnapping that occurred not long ago in the parking lot of a well-known corporation, the police said they would "not comment," but anyone with a discerning eye could sense the implications.

The internal restructuring of the Yellow River Group is proceeding swiftly and decisively.

After Shi Bin took over the security at Mount Tai, he adopted a very tough approach. He conducted a thorough review from top to bottom, dismissing a group of people who were just going through the motions and lacked discipline, and then formulated even stricter regulations.

In addition, the security level of all core personnel and their families in the group has been comprehensively upgraded, and several silent and capable new faces have appeared around He Yaozu and his two siblings.

He Yaozong, however, was inspired by this incident. He temporarily put aside his script for the military camp and began to write about the ins and outs of the kidnapping case.

The kid stopped staying at home and started going to He Yuyao's place whenever he had a chance. He knew a lot of stories about his fourth uncle.

He Yaozu returned to normal work after staying at home for a few days. After contacting several Western television stations without success, He Yaozu gave up and began looking for suitable directors and producers to sign with the company.

Quite a few people from the Muhuanghe Group came, but after repeated talks, the He Yaozu and He Yaozong brothers still couldn't sign a single contract. Why? Because their values ​​didn't align.

Although they received their education in Hong Kong, their family upbringing was completely different, so there were some things they couldn't really discuss, especially the disdainful look those people gave when talking about the mainland, which they found very displeasing.

As the year draws to a close, the festive atmosphere in Hong Kong is growing stronger.

The He family has decided to return to Beijing for the Lunar New Year this year.

Xiaoman began to arrange the itinerary and gifts. He Ningxue excitedly pulled her two older brothers to discuss what New Year's gifts to bring to their grandparents and younger cousins.

On the eve of his departure, He Yuzhu called He Yaozu and He Yaozong to his study.

What are your plans for next year, you two brothers?

"We also want to work harder in the film and television culture sector," said He Yaozu.

"Alright, I'll give you another year. After that, I'll hand this over to Yaozong. Yaozu, you'll have to do something else."

"Thanks dad!"

“If I don’t give you a chance, you’ll definitely blame me later. You have to seize this opportunity. You two brothers will definitely not be in the same industry in the future, and you should understand that.”

“We know,” the two brothers replied.

On the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, the He family returned to Beijing.

As the plane landed, a wave of dry, cold air from the north hit her face. Stepping out of the airport, He Ningxue wrapped her down jacket tighter and excitedly stepped on the snow: "Home still feels like home!"

The convoy drove into the alley, and the gate of No. 95 courtyard opened.

He Daqing and Chen Lanxiang were already waiting in the front yard. He Ningyu and He Yaochen, the two little ones, were wrapped up like balls and held in their arms, waving their little hands and babbling.

"Grandpa! Grandma!" He Yaozu and his two siblings quickly stepped forward.

Gong Xue and Chung Chuh-hung also came out with smiles, followed by the two mothers-in-law of the Ho family.

The courtyard was brightly lit, and the aroma of stewed meat mingled with the faint smell of gunpowder from firecrackers, creating a strong festive atmosphere.

Two large tables were set out for dinner, and the atmosphere was filled with laughter and joy.

He Yuxin held her daughter He Ningyu and whispered to her, teaching her to recognize people: "This is your uncle, this is your aunt."

The little girl blinked her big eyes, then suddenly giggled and reached out to grab He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu let her make a fuss, while He Yaochen, seeing his sister laughing happily, became anxious and kept yelling "Ahhh!"

Then He Ningxue picked him up and said, "Call me sister, call me sister!" He Ningxue kept shaking him.

"Giggle, giggle!" The little guy kept laughing.

Then the two little ones were put together.

The two little ones laughed and interacted, and the adults watching them smiled continuously.

After dinner, He Yuzhu called He Yuxin to the study: "After the New Year, you need to find a piece of land in Beijing."

"What are you doing, developing real estate?"

"Factory buildings. There are already computer factories in China now. You can't fall behind."

“Don’t we have them?” He Yuxin said.

“That’s from North America. We need to have it domestically. We can share the technology, but we also need to train our own R&D personnel here.”

“Oh, I see. There are quite a few companies doing this in China, including Lenovo, Inspur, and some that are affiliated with various organizations! How big do the factories need to be?” He Yuxin asked.

“Of course, the bigger the better, so you can do other things. I guess you shouldn’t even think about land in the city center, it will most likely be in the suburbs. Of course, you should start stockpiling commercial and residential land in the city center too, the opportunity should be coming soon,” He Yuzhu said.

"Big brother, what news did you hear? I haven't heard anything about it," He Yuxin asked curiously.

No, just my gut feeling.

"Okay, I was actually thinking of getting the relationship back."

"Come on, you know all the connections I have."

"hey-hey!"

"Did Yu Yan say when he'll be back?"

"They seem to have a mission, and even if they come back, it will probably be around the 15th," He Yuxin said.

Where is Fifth Brother's wife?

"They have a good relationship, so of course I'll stay by his side."

"Ok."

"Yuyao isn't coming back this year?"

"Yes, it's inconvenient now. Plus, there are a lot of cases during the Chinese New Year, so it'll probably be difficult in the future," He Yuzhu said.

"This"

"Let's talk about it later. That's how it is when there are more people in the family."

"Understood," He Yuxin said.

The next morning, He Yuzhu said to Chen Lanxiang, "Mother, let's go see Uncle Zhao and Aunt Xia, and come back before noon."

"We should go and see him. It seems your Uncle Zhao has retired and is at home."

"They refunded it, why didn't they tell me?"

"I don't know, you should ask him yourself."

"it is good."

Driving, He Yuzhu and his family went to Old Zhao's house.

After parking the car outside the courtyard, He Yuzhu walked to the gate and pushed open the half-closed gate. He saw Old Zhao sweeping the snow in the yard with a large broom.

"Hey, who's doing the work here!" He Yuzhu teased.

"Pillar!" Old Zhao turned around and happily threw down the broom.

"Old Zhao!" He Yuzhu quickly walked a few steps and gave Old Zhao a big hug.

"Hahaha, when did you get back?"

It arrived yesterday.

"Why don't you stay home and rest?"

"Isn't it because I miss you!"

"Xiaoman, kids, come inside quickly, come inside quickly, it's cold outside!" Old Zhao called out when he saw the people behind He Yuzhu.

"Hello, Uncle Zhao!"

Hello, Grandpa Zhao!

Everyone greeted each other.

"Hey! Good, good, good!" Old Zhao turned and called into the house, "Hongxia, come out quickly and see who's here."

"You old man, I heard you! Zhuzi, Xiaoman, you're back! Oh, Ningxue is getting more and more beautiful, she's like a fairy from heaven!" Wang Hongxia said as she buttoned her cotton coat and walked out.

"Grandma Wang, I'm not that pretty," He Ningxue said shyly.

"Come in, come in, it's cold outside."

Once inside, Wang Hongxia busied herself pouring hot water for everyone: "Zhuzi, don't go back for lunch, eat here. I'll go stew some sauerkraut and pork bones later!"

"Don't bother, Aunt Xia. I just came to take a look. By the way, where's Sheng Li? I haven't seen her."

“They have their own houses now, and they came back for the Lunar New Year,” Wang Hongxia said.

"Why don't you stay here anymore? Isn't there enough room?"

"Well, the old man came back, and the son-in-law couldn't refuse, so he moved back to their own house. They already had a house."
