A week later, all kinds of information came to Ye Fang like a flood.

The first was He Chaoqiong. After returning to Haojiang that day, He Chaoqiong confessed her pregnancy to her father He Hongsheng. What surprised Ye Fang was that He Hongsheng was not angry. Instead, he allowed He Chaoqiong to take care of her baby and gradually reduce the chance of public appearances. The matter of He Chaoqiong's pregnancy cannot be made public for the time being, or the He family has not yet figured out how to deal with the subsequent development of this matter. They can only try to keep it secret to the greatest extent and cover up the matter of He Chaoqiong's pregnancy. Everything will be done after the child is safely delivered. Say it again.

Followed by Ye Chengan, Ye Chengan was arranged by Ye Fang to work at Dezhou Instruments, a subsidiary of Jiuding Group, and became an ordinary deputy director of the workshop. It can be said that it is the smallest management unit of the group, and he is also a deputy. Of course, Ye Chengan didn't complain at all, but went down to the grassroots level and became an ordinary employee, which made Ye Fang look at him in a different light.

Mansion No. [-] was for sale, and it was bought at a premium on the day it was put on the market. The whole thing was considered a perfect conclusion. Miyagi returned to his new role and became the external master of Xiyuan. Miyagi is now no longer the palace manager, but has become the palace boss. The change of identity allows Miyagi to truly appreciate the improvement of his social class brought by his new identity, and the inside and outside of Xiyuan are also well managed by Miyagi. .

Finally, it’s about Gao Tianhong. After this week’s investigation, no corruption behavior was found on Gao Tianhong’s part. At most, he only reported hello to the relevant departments about Zheng Haiqiao’s matter. There was no obvious discrepancy between income and expenditure, and even Gao Tianhong’s personal The deposit does not exceed [-], and the family still lives in a house allocated by the work unit. In the end, Gao Tianhong was only classified as derelict in his duties and was removed from the leadership position of the Justice Bureau by the superior authority.

Because of Gao Tianhong's case, Liu Jianbai called Ye Fang specifically to report the matter. Ye Fang and Liu Jianbai both thought that Gao Tianhong's case was not simple. It was impossible for Gao Tianhong and Zheng Haiqiao to have colluded for so many years without financial exchanges. Now they can only It is said that according to the existing investigation methods, it is impossible to monitor the whereabouts of an official's property around the clock, even including the overseas transfer of property. Now the relevant departments in the country have no way to monitor before and after the event, especially when the information of various departments of the country has not yet been shared. It is not even possible to conduct domestic surveillance on all of a person's property.

As for Gao Jingshan, due to the solid evidence and the fact that Gao Jingshan could not bear the pressure of interrogation and confessed many cases of raping and molesting girls in the past, the public security group has submitted the evidence to the procuratorate, and it is estimated that the sentence will be at least ten years.

This is good news for Ye Fang, but there is no reason why Gao Tianhong can't do anything, which makes Ye Fang unable to swallow this breath, but there is indeed no solution at the moment. Liu Jianbai said that in the future, the country will establish a mechanism for collaborative investigation among various departments, which can prevent official corruption and hold people accountable to the greatest extent. However, the superiors still have not given up on the investigation of Gao Tianhong, and have assigned special personnel to take charge of the case. However, if there is still no progress in the case in three to six months, the task force will have to be withdrawn.

"Boss, this is the new Dahongpao from Wuyi Mountain. Please try it." Miyagi respectfully brought a cup of brewed tea to Ye Fang.

Ye Fang took the tea cup and was about to drink it when a news came from the TV that caught Ye Fang's attention.

"...This morning, the criminal suspect Zheng Haiqiao, who is in custody pending trial, escaped while being escorted today. Chaoyang police are now pursuing them with all their strength. Photos of the suspect..."

Ye Fang placed the tea cup heavily on the coffee table, then picked up the phone and dialed Haidong.

"Brother Dong, what's going on? Why did Zheng Haiqiao run away?" Ye Fang asked.

"As far as I know, during the escort, Zheng Haiqiao used the excuse of having a stomachache to go to the toilet and escaped. And there was obviously someone to help him. Now the police are chasing him with all their strength. He can't escape." Haidong hesitated and reminded, "Zheng Haiqiao After all, this person has been operating in the capital for decades, so we must be prepared for the worst, and you must also pay attention to safety."

Haidong's only worry now is that Zheng Haiqiao will retaliate against Ye Fang, so he reminds him.

"You don't have to worry about me here. If he comes to see me, he won't be able to escape." After Ye Fang finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Ye Fang then called Miyagi and Leng Chuan together and asked them to strengthen security inside and outside Xiyuan in the near future, and to strengthen patrols in the streets around Xiyuan. After receiving the order, Leng Chuan and Miyagi immediately began to arrange the security and defense work of Xiyuan. Ye Fang would never be polite to someone like Zheng Haiqiao who was determined to retaliate.

At this time, in a factory in the urban-rural fringe of Tongzhou, on the outskirts of Beijing, a man with scars at the corners of his eyes was eating instant noodles with his head lowered. Six people stood in front of him, and the six people looked at Zheng Haiqiao who was eating noodles seriously with great respect.

"Third brother, I have arranged a boat for you to go to Thailand. We will leave tomorrow." A man with long hair among the six people said solemnly. This man with long hair was Zheng Haiqiao's right-hand man, and he had stains on his hands. At least three lives were taken in by Zheng Haiqiao three years ago. Now he changed his identity and worked under Zheng Haiqiao, collecting two blocks of protection money for him.

Since Zheng Haiqiao was arrested, his group immediately lost its support, and all the places they saw were taken care of by the police. His brothers were caught and scattered. Now Zheng Haiqiao can only mobilize no more than 20 people.

"Go?" Zheng Haiqiao sneered a few times and said, "You can't go like this!"

"Third brother, the police are keeping a close eye on you now. It's best for you to leave the capital as soon as possible." Changmao continued to advise.

"Needless to say, I have my own plan. You can help me pick up someone later." Zheng Haiqiao said.

Half an hour later, Changmao walked in with a strange man, who covered himself tightly. Zheng Haiqiao smiled after seeing it and said, "Director Gao Da, why do I feel that it's not me who wants to run away, but you!"

Gao Tianhong took off his disguise and said in a deep voice, "I am also being watched very closely now. I went through a long circle to get here. You should understand that we should not meet at this time."

Zheng Haiqiao snorted coldly and said, "High Bureau, I didn't reveal my words inside at all, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get rid of the internal investigation so easily."

"This kind of thing is mutually beneficial. You can only run out when I'm fine. If there is no news about me, your men may not even know which way the door of the Public Security Bureau opens." Gao Tianhong retorted.

Gao Tianhong found a comfortable place to sit down and continued, "You must leave the capital immediately. This is only good for you and me. There is no harm."

"Let's go, I definitely have to go! But I must finish one thing before I leave!" Zheng Haiqiao said through gritted teeth.

"Ye Fang?" Gao Tianhong asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yes! I must kill him before I leave, otherwise I will be filled with hatred!" At this point, Zheng Haiqiao slammed the table so hard that even the cup on the table jumped.

"Although I also want Ye Fang to die, I don't want you to be caught like this. You'd better leave. The background of this person named Ye is not simple, and you can't move it at your word." Gao Tianhong said slowly.

"Gao Bureau, don't forget that Xiaoshan is going to jail now. Don't you want revenge? Are you willing to continue to be a coward like this? Although you are no longer the director, your disciples and former officials are still there, so you are still Those who can control them. As long as we cooperate properly, the man named Ye will never escape. Kill him and I will leave immediately!" Zheng Haiqiao said solemnly.

"What's your plan?" Gao Tianhong asked.

"I want to know the information about Ye, where he lives, who he is close to, and what he does. Then you don't have to worry about it. The rest is mine. How about it? Don't worry, even if the matter is exposed, I won’t reveal even a word about you." Zheng Haiqiao said.

After Gao Tianhong stood up and put on his clothes, he said indifferently, "Okay, wait for my news, but we still don't want to meet. I will find a way to send the information here."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Zheng Haiqiao said.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, the capital has begun to fall, and the weather is gradually getting hotter. Unlike other places, the entire Xiyuan is still extremely cool, especially enjoying the coolness under the ginkgo trees is simply the most beautiful enjoyment in summer. The roundup of Zheng Haiqiao gradually slowed down in the capital. Because Zheng Haiqiao never showed up, the police speculated that Zheng Haiqiao might have left the capital, so a wanted order was issued nationwide.

As time went by, Ye Fang also gradually let go of the matter, and both his work and life gradually fell behind the normal track.

"Aunt Ying, please slow down." Ye Fang helped Zhang Xiuying walk in the corridor of Xiyuan. Zhang Xiuying, who had not been seen for a long time, came to Xiyuan again.

"It's cooler here." Zhang Xiuying sighed as she walked to a bench under the ginkgo tree and sat down.

"It's very comfortable to enjoy the cool air in Xiyuan. Come here and stay longer this time." Ye Fang said and sat opposite Zhang Xiuying. Miyagi had someone bring a fruit plate and tea to relieve the heat.

"This young man is new here, I haven't seen him before." Zhang Xiuying said while looking at Miyagi behind Ye Fang.

"His name is Miyagi, and he came here to take care of Xiyuan." Ye Fang said with a smile.

"Hello, Aunt Ying. In the future, when Mr. Ye is not in Xiyuan, if you have anything to tell me," although Gong Cheng didn't know the relationship between Zhang Xiuying and Ye Fang, but seeing that Ye Fang was extremely respectful to Zhang Xiuying, Gong Cheng Chengya knew that the two of them were very close, so he was extremely respectful when he answered.

"Xiyuan really needs a dedicated person to take charge of it. Acheng, go ahead and do your work. There is no need for anyone to follow you here."

Miyagi knew that the two of them had something to say, so he asked everyone around him to withdraw. Only Leng Chuan stood a few meters away. Even in Xiyuan, Leng Chuan remained alert enough.

"How is the progress of Wagariang's affairs?" Zhang Xiuying asked.

"The higher-ups have sent a negotiating team to Turkey, and not much news has come through yet. There are Americans behind this matter, so it won't go well," Ye Fang said.

"I really hope it can be speeded up. Lao He's physical condition is very bad. I don't know if he can survive until the day when Wagarian comes home." Zhang Xiuying said with emotion.

"You mean Uncle He?"

Zhang Xiuying nodded and continued, "If possible, take some photos first and come back."

"Okay, I will let Su Long and the others handle this matter immediately." Ye Fang said.

After talking about this topic, there was a brief silence between the two of them. Ye Fang had many questions that he wanted to ask Zhang Xiuying, but he didn't know how to open his mouth.

"Ask if you have any questions." Zhang Xiuying spoke first.

"I would like to ask why those old generals mistook me for...and why did I find that Uncle Ye and I look similar?" Ye Fang asked curiously.

"Have you never thought about why?"

"This..." Ye Fang didn't make that assumption, but how could such a one-of-a-kind possibility happen to him by such a coincidence, so Ye Fang didn't dare to think about it and couldn't think about it. After all, the Ye family's prominent family Status is not something you can covet.

"You don't have to think so much. In fact, you are a child of the Ye family, and your father is Ye Youxin."

"what--"

Zhang Xiuying's words made Ye Fang stand up from his seat. The sudden change immediately attracted Leng Chuan's attention.

"Aunt Ying, how is this possible? Although I grew up in an orphanage and my surname is Ye, how can I be related to the Ye family? And Ye...Didn't Uncle Ye die on the front line? How could he be born with this child? Me, and since I have returned to the capital, why are you still sending me to an orphanage? This makes no sense." Ye Fang said puzzled.

"What you said is exactly what I am confused about. During this period of time, I asked people to try to restore the truth at that time, but found nothing. How many unknown secrets are hidden in it can no longer be verified. And there are No one knows how the Ye family's ancestral home was transferred to someone else's name. After all, the intervening ten years have buried many truths in history forever." Zhang Xiuying said slowly.

Only then did Ye Fang know why Zhang Xiuying had not appeared during this period. It turned out that he was trying to verify his life experience, but apparently there was no progress.

"But how did you confirm that I have a relationship with the Ye family?" Ye Fang asked curiously.

"Remember the last time you were injured and hospitalized? The girl from the Ma family was curious and did a DNA comparison between your blood and Youxin's blood, and finally confirmed that you are related to the Ye family. The only one of the three brothers in the Ye family The most likely thing is that you have faith, so your father should have faith." Zhang Xiuying said firmly.

"So you are talking about people from my Ye family?" Ye Fang asked.

Zhang Xiuying nodded and said, "Yes, you are from the Ye family."

"Then why didn't you tell me before? You should have known about it when you went to Haojiang."

"Indeed, I already knew that at that time. I really wanted to see what Youxin's child looked like, so I asked Youxin to give me an identity to visit you. The reason why I didn't tell you at the time was because I felt that the time was not yet ripe. , why am I telling you now? I think you should know your identity." Zhang Xiuying said slowly.

"Then how should I call you in the future?" Ye Fang suddenly asked.
