Chapter 1089 Family Visit Leave
"Mr. Zhao, Wei Xi and Wei Yu have gone back to Mingzhu on vacation!" The head of the undercover operation made a call to Zhao Cheng's office in Beiping.
"Oh? Why did those two suddenly come back?" Zhao Cheng asked with a smile.
"Young Master Wei Xi was pestered by that countess, so he had no choice but to bring her back to relax. Miss Wei Yu simply felt that staying in the Ugly Country was meaningless, so she wanted to come back to Mingzhu to see it. Actually, the Third Miss wanted to return to the mainland, but the bodyguards persuaded her not to!" the informant said.
"Hehe, this girl! How about this, I'll have Ye Juan go and comfort the little girl!" Zhao Cheng said with a smile.
Now, apart from a few grandchildren who were born in the last two years, there are no other children in the family who need much care. They have all grown up, and children like Pingping are basically free now.
Moreover, their mother takes care of all the grandchildren, which makes Pingping and the others even more relaxed.
So it's not a problem to let Ye Juan go to Mingzhu. Wei Yu is, after all, a girl, and needs to be comforted.
As for the little princess from the count's family who came back with Wei Xi? In Zhao Cheng's eyes, she was no different from his other daughters-in-law.
Even Hao Shuwen, the daughter of a deputy army commander, didn't dare to act like a young lady in the Zhao family, let alone the daughter of a count from the UK.
"Then I'll arrange Ms. Ye's security!" the undercover agent said.
“Sure, there shouldn’t be any problem in China, since we’ll be flying there anyway. But once we get to Mingzhu, we must ensure your safety!” Zhao Cheng said.
"Understood, Mr. Zhao!" the undercover agent said before hanging up the phone.
Zhao Cheng also told Wei Shang about Wei Xi and Wei Yu's return. Although the protection provided by the secret agents was tight, how could it be as reassuring as his own son?
"Dad, is Third Mother flying directly to Mingzhu or transiting through the Special Economic Zone?" Wei Shang was already used to his father's biased behavior.
“You can arrange the transit in the special zone as you see fit! It must be kept secret! Wei Yu will finish her studies in the U.S. in a year, after which she may enter the laboratory, which would take at least two years. Now is not the time for her to be exposed!” Zhao Cheng said.
"Okay, I understand!" Wei Shang could only say that he would take care of it.
"How's work going on your end? I heard from your older brother that you're having some trouble at work?" Zhao Cheng asked with a smile.
“Well, the main problem is that Li Weimin is too useless. He let Lu Shaohua escape from Xigang! According to intelligence, this Lu Shaohua produced a large batch of methamphetamine for the Dongxing gang in Mingzhu. We must catch him as soon as possible. Fortunately, Han Bin gave me a message yesterday, saying that they found someone who resembles Lu Shaohua,” Wei Shang said.
"Lu Shaohua? Methamphetamine?" Zhao Cheng pondered the two names, but he had no recollection of them. He figured they must be characters from some TV series. He had no memory of them. The only people Zhao Cheng could recall associated with methamphetamine, besides Liu Zhaohua who claimed he would use methamphetamine to avenge the Opium War, were the old man in Sichuan who sold rock candy as methamphetamine.
As for Li Weimin? Zhao Cheng knew him; he had come to his house with Wei Shang when they were students. In Zhao Cheng's eyes, Li Weimin was just like his cousin Wu Zhong—in short, awkward!
"Alright, you're a deputy director now, so you should know how to handle work matters. I won't nag you any further. Just remember to take good care of your third mother!" Zhao Cheng said.
"I understand, Dad!" Wei Shang naturally understood his father's meaning and could only reluctantly agree.
The next day, Ye Juan boarded a plane heading south. After landing at the Special Economic Zone airport, she was picked up by Wei Shang.
"Wei Shang, how's work? If you're busy, you don't have to come with me. After all, your dad has already arranged security personnel." Ye Juan said to Wei Shang with a smile as she sat in his car.
"It's alright, Third Mother. I'll just go and see Wei Xi and Wei Yu myself; it's been so long since I've seen them!" Wei Shang said with a smile.
"That's good. You kids have all grown up, started your own families and careers. Time really flies!" Ye Juan said with emotion.
She started following Zhao Cheng in 1966, and almost thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye. She is now fifty years old. Although time has not left too many marks on her, getting old is getting old.
"Third Aunt, you don't look old at all! If you told people you were fifty, no one would believe you!" Wei Shang flattered.
Indeed, Ye Juan is fifty years old, but she looks about thirty-six or thirty-seven. Apart from a few gray hairs, she shows no signs of aging.
Unlike Zhao Cheng, who dyed a lot of his hair white. After all, Zhao Cheng was already sixty-four years old; if he still had a head of jet-black hair, it would arouse suspicion.
Wei Shang chatted with Ye Juan, and soon they arrived at a dock. Wei Shang then parked the car in the dock's parking lot and led Ye Juan onto a fishing boat.
Because their meeting with Wei Yu needed to be kept secret, Ye Juan and Wei Shang couldn't enter Mingzhu through official channels. This smuggling route was the Zhao family's private line.
Upon arriving at Mingzhu, they landed at a private pier in Kwai Tsing, then boarded a car arranged by an undercover agent and headed directly to Wei Yu's house.
On Kuihe Street, the Zhao family funded the purchase of a plot of land and built a gated community. Outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering except for residents. They cannot even rent a house here because it is the family area of the underground network.
Four 20-story buildings stand in the center of the residential complex, surrounded by a five-meter-high wall. The complex is shaded by trees and offers a full range of recreational facilities.
The people living here are all members of the entire underground network and their families. Wei Yu and his group each own a large single-level apartment in these four buildings.
Once Wei Shang and Ye Juan entered the residential area, the bodyguards who had accompanied them dispersed. Anyone who could harm Ye Juan and Wei Shang in this area could resign from the entire system.
"Ding-dong!" The doorbell rang, and Wei Yu, who was watching TV at home, became curious. It was her first time living here, so who would come to see her at this time?
Wei Yu cautiously stood up, walked to the door, and looked outside through the monitor.
When Wei Yu saw his seventeenth brother's smug face, he immediately opened the door.
"Seventeenth Brother, you're really well-informed! I just got back and you already knew?" Wei Yu opened the door and turned to walk back, complaining to Wei Shang as he went, completely unaware that Wei Shang was suppressing a smile and that he wasn't the only one who had entered the room.
When Ye Juan entered the room, she saw her daughter nagging about Wei Shang. She looked at her daughter with doting eyes. She was a little darker, but she had grown a lot taller and had really grown into a young lady.
