Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

The food in the boxed lunch was completely devoured, and Su Wanqiu packed the lunch into her bag.

Yang Bai sat on the bed with a novel in his arms, turning the pages one by one, spending a peaceful moment with Su Wanqiu.

She stood up, looking at Yang Bai with reluctance, "Yang Bai, it's almost time, I should go. You get some rest."

Yang Bai nodded and watched her leave.

Being alone in the hospital was a bit boring, and with his leg injured, he couldn't go very far. After finishing his book, Yang Bai lay down on the bed and gradually fell asleep.

The nurse's murmurs gradually reached my ears.

"Comrade Yang Bai, wake up! Commissioner Chen has come to visit you."

Yang Bai's eyes narrowed slightly. "Don't tease me. How could a commissioner possibly come all this way to visit me?"

The nurse glanced at the specialist behind her. "It's true."

Chen Sanqiang patted the nurse on the shoulder and said, "Let me do it."

He coughed softly.

"Comrade Yang Bai."

Yang Bai was slightly awake at this moment. Hearing the familiar deep voice, his heart tightened. It really was Commissioner Chen.

Why would he suddenly come here to visit me?

Yang Bai opened his eyes, but could only pretend not to know, and saw Commissioner Chen smiling awkwardly.

To put it in terms of his past life, he could dig a tomb for Qin Shi Huang with his toes.

"Commissioner Chen, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect you to come."

Just as he was about to stand up, Commissioner Chen gently patted his shoulder.

"Comrade Yang Bai, you have an injury on your leg, you shouldn't stand. My clothes are fine if they're ruined, your life is the most important."

He then asked, "How's your recovery going?"

Yang Bai patted his chest and smiled frankly, "It's nothing, just superficial injuries. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Chen Sanqiang nodded slightly, his expression turning serious: "It's good that you're alright. I've already instructed the Public Security Bureau to thoroughly investigate this case. The two men were incredibly audacious, daring to break into a house with a gun and intentionally injure someone. We will not tolerate them."

Yang Bai felt a warmth in his heart and solemnly said, "Thank you, Commissioner Chen."

He was somewhat surprised that Commissioner Chen would personally speak to the Public Security Bureau on his behalf; such a thing would be impossible for an ordinary citizen.

"Is Commissioner Chen's clothing alright?"

He didn't have time to check if the clothes were damaged, but since Wanqiu and the others said they were fine, they probably weren't damaged.

Chen Sanqiang shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Su Wanqiu's craftsmanship is excellent, comparable to many master craftsmen who have been sewing for thirty or forty years."

After finishing his sentence, Chen Sanqiang waved his hand, signaling the bystanders to leave.

Ma Ming nodded slightly and asked all the nurses and doctors in the room to leave first.

Yang Bai watched them leave with some doubt in his heart. Why did they suddenly clear them all out? Was there something important they wanted to say?

A trace of memory flickered in Chen Sanqiang's eyes.

"Su Wanqiu, are you taking good care of her?"

Yang Bai was startled. When Commissioner Chen called out Su Wanqiu's name, he did not add "comrade" once, and his words seemed to express nostalgia.

Could it be that Su Wanqiu's family knows Chen Sanqiang?

However, when Su Wanqiu saw Commissioner Chen's appearance, she did not recognize him.

"Yes, she's my ex-wife, so of course I take good care of her."

Chen Sanqiang smiled and said, "I took good care of her until we got divorced. But I'm definitely taking good care of her now. If you mistreat her, I won't let you off the hook."

Yang Bai's eyelids twitched, his mind went completely blank, and he had no idea what was going on.

He asked in a low voice, "Commissioner Chen, do you know Wanqiu's family?"

Chen Sanqiang did not deny it, nodding and saying, "I know her. Her father and I were comrades-in-arms."

"He took a bullet for me during the battle to provide reinforcements back then."

I met Su Wanqiu when she was five or six years old, but she probably doesn't remember me.

Chen Sanqiang paused, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes.

"Perhaps you have doubts, asking why we don't clear Su Wanqiu's father's name."

"Because I was working in the Tibetan area that year, and I worked there for ten years."

"When I came back, I learned that the Su family had been arrested and denounced for speculation and profiteering, and the family was torn apart."

"Old Su's wife hanged herself during the struggle session."

As Chen Sanqiang spoke, a tear welled up in his eye, and all his words turned into a single sigh.

"I'm the one who let Lao Su down."

Yang Bai was deeply shocked after hearing this. No wonder Su Wanqiu's father in his previous life was exonerated so quickly after the ten years were over.

It seems that Chen Sanqiang was now collecting evidence to clear his name.

Chen Sanqiang took out a silk handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Yang Bai, I've heard about what happened before. If you continue to act like that, I'll have you thrown in jail for proper reformation."

"Now I see that you have truly changed. As for the past, Xiao Su, let it go, and I shouldn't interfere."

"Now, if you continue to bully orphans and widows, you know what will happen to you."

"You have a second wife, and you're divorced. The four of you living together doesn't have a good reputation, and I know you all have your difficulties."

"Regarding this, I've received word from above that the college entrance examination is going to be reinstated."

"If that's the case, once she gets into university, we'll break up if we can. If we can't, I'll make Xiao Su leave you."

Yang Bai's heart sank. Chen Sanqiang had indeed investigated him thoroughly. In the end, he still had to face a choice.

It's already a lot of face for him to say these things to him.

"Commissioner Chen, I'm the one who owes them for their feelings. Now that I'm able, I plan to take care of them as long as possible."

Chen Sanqiang looked at Yang Bai's confident expression and gently shook his head.

"Young man, you still lack experience."

"I'm telling you this upfront, hoping you won't end up in a situation that's hard to salvage. I've seen far too many tragedies like this."

Yang Bai shook his head firmly: "It won't turn into a tragedy."

Chen Sanqiang waved his hand, unwilling to delve any further.

"Let's not talk about this for now. You should keep your own judgment in mind."

"Remember, don't divulge a single word to anyone, and don't mention it to Su Wanqiu either."

After saying that, he called out loudly, "Secretary Ma, come in."

Ma Ming pushed open the door and walked in: "Commissioner Chen."

"Give him that English manuscript."

Ma Ming opened his briefcase, took out a document entirely in English, and handed it to Yang Bai.

Chen Sanqiang slowly spoke: "I've heard that you are fluent in multiple languages, so today is a good day to give it a try."

Yang Bai took the manuscript, glanced at its contents, and said, "This is a 1974 aquatic product survey report from Linghai County. Do you need me to translate it word for word?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Chen Sanqiang's eyes. It seemed the rumors were true; Yang Bai did indeed have real skills.

But he needs a professional translator; simply knowing a few English words is not enough to prove it.

"That's right. After it's translated, give it to Secretary Ma tomorrow, and he'll come to pick it up in person."

Chen Sanqiang stood up, but still issued a warning.

"You need to think carefully about what happened today. Xiao Ma, let's go."

Yang Bai held the English manuscript in his hand and sighed deeply.
