"It failed. The other party has been alerted. I shouldn't have gone on this trip today. I'm afraid I might have frightened the enemy!" Zhao Kezhen explained to his wife everything that happened during his trip to Yanda today with a hint of regret.
"Old Zhao, this is not your fault. This order was given too hastily. Our preparations were not sufficient at all. Instigating rebellion requires timing. Instigating rebellion so abruptly has a low probability of success." Yong
Jie comforted her husband.
"Yeah, originally I wanted to make it happen, but time didn't allow it!" Zhao Kezhen shook his head in annoyance.
"What should we do? Should we continue tomorrow's operation? Should we inform our daughter?" Yongjie asked.
"Notice, he is just a little suspicious. He probably hasn't thought that we are going to kill him." Zhao Kezhen thought for a moment and then said: "Where is my daughter? Have you notified her to come back?"
"I just called, it should be there soon." Yong Jie looked out the window.
After a while, footsteps were heard on the stairs, and Zhao Ersheng walked into the bedroom with brisk steps.
"Dad, Mom, why did you let me go home today?" Zhao Ersheng looked at his parents curiously.
She has been living on campus during this period and rarely goes home except on weekends. Today is the first time her parents called her to come back.
"Oh, it's nothing. We haven't had a dinner together at home for a while. It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, so the whole family went out to have a big meal together." Zhao Kezhen looked at his daughter.
"Okay, should I go to Donglaishun or Xilaishun? How about going to Tianxingju?"
The daughter was wearing a navy blue Chinese-style skirt, still looking bare-faced. She tilted her head, as if thinking about which restaurant had the best food.
"Let's just Donglaishun! The weather is getting colder, so let's make up for the hot pot before winter begins!" Zhao Kezhen couldn't help but smile as he looked at his daughter's cute and innocent look.
"Okay, are you leaving now?" Zhao Ersheng looked out the window.
It was around 6 p.m. and the sun was almost setting.
"Let's go, it's just you, we've already prepared it." Yong Jie smiled and picked up the coat next to her.
"What about the Japanese guy downstairs? He wants to accompany us to our family dinner?" Zhao Ersheng pointed downstairs and curled his lips.
Tanaka Hideki now lives in the Zhao family, together with a group of cooks and servants, and is almost inseparable from Zhao Kezhen.
"I can't help it, it's a good thing to have him here." Zhao Kezhen spread his hands.
The family of three had packed up. Tanaka Hideki had already prepared the car downstairs. Not long after, the three of them appeared in the private room on the second floor of "Donglaishun".
"Donglaishun" is a famous Muslim restaurant in Peiping. Its history can even be traced back to the Yongle period. Especially its classic dish of "mutton hotpot" and "sour plum soup", combined with the antique old building, can be said to be a good way to satisfy the gluttons of Beijing's "gourmets"
A must-go place to quench your thirst.
The three of them ate hand-cut mutton in front of the brass hot pot. Zhao Kezhen also opened a bottle of old wine and poured a glass for the mother and daughter. The family of three ate happily, while Tanaka still stayed outside dutifully.
After five meals and three drinks, the couple looked at each other and Zhao Kezhen spoke:
"Daughter, I met Director Zhou today and he said that you have been pestering him recently. Is this the case?"
"I'm not pestering you all the time." Zhao Ersheng blushed, lowered his head and took a sip of sour plum soup, thinking that the old man wouldn't be able to tell after drinking, so he smiled and said: "He is very interesting and knows a lot. You
Do you know? He said that there is a developing potion that can’t be seen unless you sprinkle iodine on it! I went to the school’s chemistry laboratory to try it, and it was really fun.”
"It's fun, but you can't keep pestering him. He has serious things to do. Besides, your father and he are not the same people. Although they are cooperating now, there is no telling when they will fall out.
I'm afraid you might be in danger." Zhao Kezhen said with a straight face.
"Okay, okay, you've said it countless times, I know. Besides, why should I be involved in the matter between you two?" Zhao Ersheng said impatiently.
"This matter is not a child's play," Zhao Kezhen said with a straight face. Just as he was about to continue persuading, Yong Jie interrupted him and said with a smile: "Why are you talking about this when you have a good meal?"
"Okay, don't tell me, don't tell me," Zhao Kezhen waved his hand and changed the subject: "Daughter, you are at school. What does the curator usually do this week?"
"I'm not in the library every day, how do I know?" Zhao Ersheng rolled his eyes at his father, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Dad, why are you looking for him today?"
"I went to find some books and chatted for a while. I didn't expect that the curator this week is not very old, but he has quite a lot of research on the education system. Especially his words are thought-provoking, which is better than that of an educator like me.
Thorough, at first I thought he used his background in Nanjing to get this position in Yanda, but now it seems that I am a villain."
"Director Zhou is really talented..." Zhao Ersheng's eyes flickered with joy.
"Yeah." Zhao Kezhen nodded and glanced at his wife next to him. His wife's eyes were also quite worried, and she was obviously worried about the relationship between her daughter and Fang Tu.
After a pause, Zhao Kezhen continued: "Daughter, your mother and I have an idea. We want to invite Mr. Zhou to have a meal with us. However, we have different positions and it is difficult to ask. Can you do us a favor?"
"Let me help?" Zhao Ersheng was stunned for a moment, "Can't you just find him yourself?"
"That's right," Yong Jie on the side took over, "if your father invites him, he may not be willing to come, but if you invite him, he probably won't refuse."
"That's true," Zhao Ersheng nodded, and said generously, "Well, I'll invite him tomorrow, I'm afraid he won't dare not come."
"Thank you so much, daughter," Zhao Kezhen chuckled, "but please don't say it's me who invited you. If you do, he probably won't come."
"Don't worry, I'm not an idiot!" Zhao Ersheng rolled his eyes at Zhao Kezhen again.
"Okay, then it's settled!" Zhao Kezhen laughed.
.........
After the family dinner, the couple got together again. They looked at each other, but they both hesitated to speak.
"I think Er Sheng seems to have a good impression of this webmaster Fang."
After a long time, Yongjie spoke first.
"I think so too," Zhao Kezhen said with a very ugly expression on his face, "It's only been a few months! Look how happy my daughter is when I praised Fang Tu just now!"
"It's better to take action as soon as possible!" Yong Jie's expression became more determined.
"Whether it is a business matter or a private matter, we must take action as soon as possible. If the matter is delayed for a long time, I am afraid it will be troublesome!" Zhao Kezhen also nodded fiercely.
In fact, if it weren't for the order from his superiors, he would not be willing to kill Fang Tu at this time, but his daughter's performance just now inexplicably strengthened his determination.
"But it's best not to do anything at the table, or you may accidentally injure your daughter!" Yong Jie added.
"Of course not. I have already thought about it." When talking about the plan, Zhao Kezhen's face became more confident. "You don't have to worry about the plan. The most powerful thing about this route is that it can be unpredictable. Once we get the whereabouts of it,
, it’s just a bullet, and besides, we also have the biggest trump card, which Fang Tu would never have thought of!"
