A heretical cultivator in Bureau 749, I'm the fiercest at pulling out tendons and skinning peop

Ji Zuodao took Zhao Ya's hand and strolled towards the dormitory building of Bureau 749.

Zhao Ya was overjoyed the whole way, her smile almost reaching her ears. She walked with a gust of wind, as if she were walking on clouds, light and airy.

She was so happy.

What does it mean that her son is willing to take her home?

This shows that her son truly considers her his mother!

It's not just lip service; it's something I truly believe in!

Zhao Ya became more and more beautiful as she thought about it, almost bubbling with happiness. She held Ji Zuodao's hand the whole way, chattering on and on:

"Xiaodao, is your dorm cold? Do you want Mom to get you a few more blankets?"

"No need, Mom, there's heating."

"Do you need any furniture? Mom will have someone get you a set of mahogany furniture?"

"Mom, the dorm can't fit something that big."

"How about Mom buys you a massage chair? You work so hard every day, you need to relax a bit..."

"Mom, really, you don't need to..."

Ji Zuodao verbally refused, but in his mind he was frantically keeping track of the accounts.

Massage chair, noted down.

Rosewood furniture, noted down.

The quilt was also noted down.

He knew that even though he had said no, this woman would eventually buy it for him.

When the two reached the dormitory building, they bumped into someone.

Li Shuwen.

He was carrying a bag of fruit, and it looked like he had just come back from outside.

Li Shuwen saw Ji Zuodao and was about to greet him when he saw the face of the woman next to Ji Zuodao.

Li Shuwen's eyes widened instantly.

I rely on!

Isn't that the rich woman who got scammed out of a bunch of treasures by the boss last time?

What is she doing here?

He's even holding hands with the boss?

Li Shuwen's mind raced, and the expression on his face was priceless.

From shock to confusion, from confusion to sudden realization, from sudden realization to profound respect.

Wow, that's brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

He thought the boss had already skinned the sheep bare, but he didn't expect that the boss not only skinned the sheep but also brought the whole sheep back with him.

What's this called?

This is called sustainable development!

It's okay if you've finished shearing the sheep; just take them home and raise them again. If they're raised well, you can shear them again next year.

Li Shuwen silently gave Ji Zuodao a thumbs up in his heart.

As expected of the boss.

My level of understanding is still no match for his.

He quickly stepped aside to make way, his face beaming with a respectful smile: "Hello, Boss! Hello, Auntie!"

Zhao Ya glanced at him, smiled and nodded, feeling incredibly happy inside.

Look, look! Even her son's subordinates are so polite. What does that say? It means her son has done a great job of training them!

Ji Zuodao didn't think much of it. He waved to Li Shuwen and took Zhao Ya upstairs.

The moment Zhao Ya pushed open the dormitory door, she froze.

She had considered that her son's accommodations might not be very good, but she didn't expect them to be this bad.

A small room of about ten square meters, with a bed, a table, a wardrobe, and a chair.

The walls were painted white, the floor was tiled, and the windows were quite large, providing good lighting, but the curtains were made of the cheapest polyester fabric, which had faded a bit from washing.

The entire room can be described in one word:

Shabby.

Zhao Ya stood at the door and cautiously took a step inside, as if she were walking on an expensive handmade carpet instead of an ordinary floor.

She looked around, her nose tingled, and her eyes reddened again.

It's so small, too small.

To put it bluntly, any toilet in the Wang family's house is bigger than this dormitory.

She originally thought that since her son had become the section chief of Bureau 749, his life wouldn't be too bad.

He's at least a section-level cadre, with a house, a car, and a government job. He's not exactly better off than the best, but he's not exactly worse off either.

But looking at it now, it's not just bad, it's not even the best.

This is clearly not much better than the worst!

Zhao Ya took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound steady: "Xiao Dao... you live here?"

"Yeah. What's wrong?"

"This...this is way too small!"

"Small has its advantages."

Ji Zuodao sat down on the bed, crossed his legs, and said nonchalantly:

"I can clock in at work just by going downstairs and turning the corner. It's also close to the herbal cuisine restaurant, and it's convenient for Qiqi to go to school every day. All I care about is convenience."

Zhao Ya opened her mouth, as if to say something, but swallowed the words back.

She felt incredibly heartbroken.

How much suffering has this child endured since childhood?

I've never even lived in a decent house; I'm content with a dormitory room of about ten square meters.

If he had grown up by her side since he was a child, he wouldn't have had to suffer like this.

The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she became, her eyes grew redder and redder, and tears were about to fall.

When Ji Zuodao saw her like this, he knew in his heart that she was overthinking things again.

Actually, Ji Zuodao does own a house.

Putting aside everything else, when Ji Zuodao first raided the Hehuan Sect, didn't he secretly take possession of a property?

That house is nicely furnished and in a good location. If you rent it out, you could easily make at least ten thousand or eight thousand a month.

However, Ji Zuodao was used to being wild since childhood and didn't have high demands for quality of life.

In his view, a house is just a place to sleep, and it only needs to shelter from the wind and rain. Why make it so big? It's also a hassle to clean.

Living in a dormitory is so nice.

The office is just downstairs and around the corner, so I can sleep an extra half hour in the morning.

The medicinal cuisine restaurant is just across the street, making it convenient for Qiqi to go to school.

So Ji Zuodao simply settled down here, leaving the house empty and not even knowing where the key was.

Of course, now there's another reason—

Safety.

This dormitory is small, but small has its advantages.

If those fox spirits wanted to sneak in and hide, he could see them as soon as the door opened, leaving them nowhere to hide.

Unlike those big houses with lots of rooms and closets, where people can even hide under the bed, he might be sound asleep one night when he opens his eyes to find a group of fox spirits surrounding his bed, their green eyes staring at him like a pack of hungry wolves. Just thinking about that scene is terrifying.

Ji Zuodao got a headache just thinking about those fox spirits.

Those guys quietly cultivated to the Dharma Aspect Realm without making a sound; they're up to no good.

Especially Su Xiaoxiao, with her strength at the Divine Power Realm, plus the secret techniques taught by the Empress, if they really fought, he might not be able to win.

Ji Zuodao even felt that one night Su Xiaoxiao might sneak in and knock him over with a stick.

When he was a child, he hit Su Xiaoxiao with a stick to get some good food.

If Su Xiaoxiao were to knock him unconscious, she'd probably make him something delicious.

As for how to eat it...

I understand everything I understand.

Just thinking about that scene sent a chill down Ji Zuodao's spine.

Damn, boys really need to protect themselves when they're out in the world.

Actually, there's no need to worry too much about Ji Zuodao for now.

Those fox spirits were all lusting after his body; they all wanted to be the first to taste his body.

But it's precisely because everyone wants to be the first to try their luck that they're eyeing each other so closely.

You're looking at me, I'm looking at you, neither of us can escape.

If you dare to sneak in, I'll call for help.

At that time, no one will be able to drink soup; they'll all be left with nothing but the northwest wind.

Ji Zuodao didn't explain anything, seeing that Zhao Ya was about to cry.

Perfect timing! He can play the victim again and squeeze out some benefits. Even though he'll devour the Wang family whole soon, every little bit helps, right?

Ji Zuodao lowered his head, remained silent for a few seconds, then raised his head, a determined smile appearing on his face:

"Mom, don't worry about me. I'm doing great here, really. Compared to my childhood, this is paradise."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya burst into tears.

She rushed forward and hugged Ji Zuodao tightly, her voice choked with sobs: "Silly child... Mom is so sorry... Mom will definitely make sure you have a good life from now on..."

Ji Zuodao leaned on her shoulder, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

perfect.

That act of feigning helplessness was perfect.

He patted Zhao Ya on the back and said in a well-behaved and sensible tone, "Mom, don't cry. I'm fine, really. As long as you're by my side, I'm happy no matter where I live."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya cried even harder.

How can this child be so sensible?

So sensible, it breaks my heart!

She hugged Ji Zuodao and cried for a long time before letting go, wiping away her tears, and saying in a firm tone:

"Xiaodao, don't worry. Mom will definitely buy you a big house! Bigger than that run-down villa of the Wang family! So you can live comfortably!"

Ji Zuodao blinked, his face innocent and naive, and asked, "Really?"

"Of course it's true!" Zhao Ya patted her chest to assure her, "Mom keeps her word!"

"Then..." Ji Zuodao tilted his head, a hopeful smile appearing on his face, "Can I choose it myself?"

"Sure! You can choose whatever you want!"

"Then I want one with a yard, the kind where I can keep a dog."

"no problem!"

"It also needs to be close to the 749 Bureau, so it's convenient for commuting to work."

"Alright!"

"Ideally, there would be a basement where I can store some stolen goods... uh... junk."

"Whatever you say!"

Ji Zuodao nodded in satisfaction.

perfect.

We've got the big house!

Forget about whether he can stay or not, the important thing is to pocket it.

Seeing his happy expression, Zhao Ya felt incredibly satisfied.

She finally had a chance to be kind to her son.

She was determined to make up for the nineteen years of maternal love she had missed.

As for money?

As the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, it would be a piece of cake for Zhao Ya to ask her family for tens of millions of yuan.

If all else fails, just confiscate all of Wang Gang's secret savings.

Since we're getting divorced anyway, might as well take it. She wants a share of the property. Damn it, she dared to abandon her son. I'll leave with nothing.

Looking at Zhao Ya's spirited appearance, Ji Zuodao was also making plans in his mind.

Well, we should speed things up a bit more on the Wang family's side too.

Once Zhao Ya has made contact with the Zhao family, he can use his status as the Zhao family's grandson to start targeting the Wang family.

At that time, the Wang family's businesses, assets, and enviable wealth...

Everything will fall into his hands.

The mother and son, each with their own thoughts, both smiled brightly.

The scene looks quite harmonious.
