Chapter 2349
Suspicious
"Mike? What kind of name is that? Is there anyone with the surname Mike in the Hundred Family Surnames?"
Yi Zhonghai turned to look at Yan Bugui.
Yan Bugui shook his head: "No."
Mike explained, "This is a foreign name, a transliteration."
"Oh, you traitor," Yi Zhonghai said bluntly.
Since Mike didn't defend himself, Yi Zhonghai assumed that Mike was He Yuanting's boyfriend.
In his eyes, none of the He family members were good people.
He was hoping the Ho family would suffer misfortune.
Just as they were about to encounter Mike, they immediately assumed Mike was a traitor and even insulted the Ho family.
"He's still a traitor who doesn't recognize his ancestors," Liu Haizhong added insult to injury.
Mike's face darkened: "I'm not a traitor."
“Young man, things are different now. Being a traitor isn’t shameful.” Yi Zhonghai ignored his explanations and insisted that he was a traitor.
Mike isn't a traitor, so how could he ridicule He Yuzhu?
"Honestly, in the past, you traitors would have been paraded through the streets long ago."
Now, he walks confidently down the street, and people even offer him money. Yan Bugui retorted, not to be outdone.
He Yuanting couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Mike was even more embarrassed.
When Yi Zhonghai saw He Yuanting laughing, he immediately labeled her as shameless.
"What are you laughing at? Give this letter to Sha Zhu."
He Yuanting said with dissatisfaction, "Yi Juehu, what kind of despicable thing are you planning to do now?"
"You bastard." Those words immediately broke Yi Zhonghai's defenses.
Since Jia Zhangshi stopped causing trouble, no one dared to call him childless.
Yi Zhonghai wanted nothing more than to teach He Yuanting a lesson.
Yan Bugui quickly stopped Yi Zhonghai: "The overall situation is more important."
Thinking that he would have to rely on He Yuzhu to support him in his old age, Yi Zhonghai could only suppress his anger.
“You’re being immature, so I won’t hold it against you. But I’m telling you, no Chinese person with a conscience would marry a traitor.”
He Yuanting didn't admit that Mike was her boyfriend, and directly retorted: "Yi Zhonghai, shut up. Let me tell you, Mike and I are just ordinary friends."
Yi Zhonghai snorted: "You know your own relationship."
"Old Liu, Old Yan, let's go."
He turned around first and left the restaurant directly.
I'm here to deliver a letter.
He never expected to run into He Yuanting; this was much better than he had anticipated.
He's just waiting for He Yuzhu to beg him.
He Yuanting glared angrily at Yi Zhonghai's retreating figure, then picked up the letter and was about to open it.
Mike said, "Yuanting, it's wrong to open other people's letters without permission."
He Yuanting hesitated for a moment before putting the letter into her bag. She guessed that the letter must have contained something incriminating, something she didn't want Mike to know.
"Never mind, I'll take it to my dad when I get home. I'm sorry you had to see this today."
Mike asked curiously, "Who exactly are those three old men?"
They were so rude.
He Yuanting said casually, "None of them are good people. One is childless, one is obsessed with officialdom, and one is a miser."
She didn't want to mention the matter involving Yi Zhonghai and the other two, feeling it was shameful.
Mike wisely refrained from asking any questions and started chatting with He Yuanting about other things.
As they were parting, Mike tentatively asked, "Those three people weren't nice, but one of their sentences revealed what I was thinking."
He Yuanting paused, pretending not to understand Mike's meaning: "Are they traitors?"
Mike understood what He Yuanting meant, but still said, "I won't give up."
He Yuanting didn't take those words to heart, and took the letter to find He Yuzhu.
"Dad, I ran into those three old bastards, Yi Zhonghai, at the Chaoyang Hotel today."
They gave me a letter and asked me to give it to you.
He Yuzhu picked up the letter curiously, read it once, and couldn't help but laugh. "What's wrong?" He Yuanting asked.
He Yuzhu handed her the letter: "Read it yourself. These three old guys are just crazy. Don't pay any attention to them."
After reading the letter, He Yuanting was speechless: "They've gone mad. They want their neighbor to support them in their old age, and they're threatening their neighbor."
are you crazy?
He Yuzhu thought it was about the same.
Yi Zhonghai would do anything crazy to secure his retirement.
Others think it's abnormal that his neighbors should support him in his old age.
However, Yi Zhonghai viewed it as perfectly normal.
If he feels something is wrong, how can he force others to support him in his old age?
"Ignore him. He won't be able to keep this up for long."
He Yuanting looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "Are you going to deal with him?"
"I don't need to get involved." He Yuzhu wouldn't tell his daughter about his schemes against Yi Zhonghai.
He then changed the subject: "Why did you go to Chaoyang Hotel for dinner today?"
He Yuanting didn't hide anything from He Yuzhu and told him directly. She also told He Yuzhu about Yi Zhonghai's belief that Mike was a traitor.
He Yuzhu sensed something was wrong: "Who exactly is that Mike?"
You rarely go out to eat with others.
"How come you have time to have dinner with him?"
"It's nothing, he just provided me with some information. I used that information to achieve a result," He Yuanting explained.
He Yuzhu became more vigilant: "Something's not right. Isn't your research project confidential? How come he just happened to provide you with the information you need?"
He Yuanting was taken aback, then a look of confusion appeared on her face.
Her older brother, uncle, and cousin are all in the military. She's also quite perceptive.
Despite spending so much time in contact with Mike, no secrets were leaked.
She felt that she hadn't leaked anything, and that Mike was unaware of the project she was researching.
And since Mike never asked her, she had no suspicions.
Now that He Yuzhu has spoken, He Yuanting does indeed sense that something is wrong.
"I don't know. Dad, let's have someone investigate. Actually, I didn't want to bother with him at first."
However, he often approaches me under the guise of cooperation.
And it seems he really does have collaborations with departments under our institute.
“Okay, I’ll have someone investigate.” He Yuanting’s job involves national security.
Even the slightest doubt could not deter He Yuzhu from taking it lightly.
He Yuzhu made a phone call and summoned a trusted person.
He Yuanting told that person what she knew and asked them to investigate Mike.
Inside the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai had intended to tarnish He Yuzhu's reputation.
However, they discovered that apart from them, there was no one else in the courtyard.
To him, a man wielding a large sword is not considered human.
Although there were few people, Yi Zhonghai still managed to tell them about the traitors.
Finally, Yi Zhonghai commented: "If a person is not filial, his children will follow suit."
Look at Sha Zhu. He's unfilial and hasn't set a good example for his children.
As a result, his daughter found a traitor as her boyfriend.
Regardless of whether Yi Zhonghai's words were logical or not, the second and third aunts all agreed with them.
Both of them secretly decided that they would go out in a little while and chat with the neighbors nearby.
He Yuzhu was unfilial to them, and this is his retribution.
Qin Huairu didn't care about that; she just wanted to know if the letter had any effect.
Did He Yuanting read the letter at the time? Did she tell Sha Zhu?
Yi Zhonghai said confidently, "Don't worry. She'll definitely tell Sha Zhu. We can just wait here."
Seeing Yi Zhonghai's confidence, Qin Huai couldn't help but believe him.
She felt that good days were about to return to her family, and she couldn't wait to call Banggeng back.
Everyone else was quite excited, except for Yan Bugui and his wife, who seemed somewhat indifferent. (End of Chapter)
