Chapter 71: Official circular
Chapter 71
As a result, residents in the neighborhood might not necessarily recognize Ji Mochen as the singing and dancing superstar, but they would definitely recognize Ji Ruochu as the little girl who followed a group of old men and women to practice tai chi without fail every day.
Ji Ruochu originally thought that she would have to live this dull life of "going out to practice tai chi and studying when back home" until she started school.
But Ji Mochen\'s words just now instantly ignited her hopes.
"Alright." Ji Mochen smiled. "Ruoruo, you go eat the cake first, it won\'t taste good if left for too long."
Ji Ruochu didn\'t insist on staying and ran to the coffee table by herself. Only then did Ji Mochen continue the topic with his wife.
"The news will come out tomorrow. It\'s confirmed with them, and the show crew is also prepared."
Not only had Ji Ruochu been unable to go out these two months, even the show crew was forced to halt filming, unable to continue with subsequent recordings.
After all, the people and events involved in Henghe Town had already exceeded everyone\'s imagination by far.
The couple spoke in low voices, completely unaware that the little one beside them had pricked up her ears while eating cake.
Tomorrow evening? News?
The Henghe Town case was finally settled?
With this doubt, Ji Ruochu had dinner with her parents at the old house, and after receiving hugs and kisses from a bunch of uncles and aunts, the families returned home.
Early next morning, Ji Ruochu loitered around the TV.
Ji Mochen and his wife didn\'t notice anything. They thought their daughter just happened to like the small sofa in the living room today and let her be.
Soon, it was dinner time in the Ji house. Ji Ruochu sat in her exclusive seat and ate her food seriously.
Ji Mochen and his wife took turns putting dishes in their daughter\'s bowl, removing fish bones, peeling shrimp meat for her. The family had a harmonious dinner.
The TV in the living room had been switched on before the family started eating. While serving food for his daughter, Ji Mochen also glanced at it from time to time.
Ji Ruochu was the same. She seemed to be eating attentively but actually slowed down her eating speed, keeping her ears up to listen to the TV the entire time.
Finally, when the girl was halfway through her meal, the familiar news announcement sounded:
"Recently, discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels in the province have conscientiously implemented the requirements of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Party Committee, and insisted on prioritizing discipline and regulations. Strengthening supervision and accountability investigations, they have seriously investigated and dealt with a number of human trafficking, smuggling and prostitution cases in places including Jingshou Town, Jiangping Town, Chun-Jin Town, and Henghe Town. The main details dealt with in the province are announced as follows..."
Ji Ruochu only listened to the beginning before instantly sitting up straight.
Did she mishear just now? Why did she feel like there was an additional charge added in this announcement?
Seeing that Ji Mochen and Ling Chujin had also stopped eating, Ji Ruochu silently shoveled some rice into her mouth.
Not sure, keep listening...
It turned out she didn\'t mishear. This time, the events involved went far beyond what she had seen in her dream.
In addition to the buyers and sellers at the time, and the people in the service chain, many people who could only be seen on TV on ordinary days were also announced to be arrested.
Best of all, Mr. Li, who had successfully escaped overseas in her previous life, was successfully arrested this time!
"That\'s a relief. The news didn\'t mention the show." Ling Chujin breathed a sigh of relief and picked up her chopsticks to put a piece of meat in her daughter\'s bowl.
Ji Ruochu blinked but didn\'t say anything. She just obediently lowered her head to take a bite of shrimp to calm herself down.
Good gracious, in her previous life when the announcement was made in her dream, she had worried that just passing on the news through her father would greatly compromise the outcome.
Who could have thought not only were arrests made but the whole network was busted!
She recalled her big uncle Ji Moting\'s usually refined demeanor, and the smiling expression when he handed her a gift at the family banquet yesterday, and couldn\'t help but shiver.
The gossip she had heard circle insiders discuss about the Ji family came to mind. Back then, those big shots in the business and financial circles said this about the three Ji brothers:
Eldest son Ji Moting had been the leader among his peers since childhood.
Second son Ji Mochen was unruly and unbridled, and beat up all the boys within a ten li radius of his age.
Only the third son Ji Moyi was modest, courteous and knew when to advance and when to retreat.
It was originally thought that the eldest son would take over the company, but unexpectedly, the youngest son Ji Moyi became the person in charge of the company in the end.
At first, people thought it was because old Mr. Ji favored his youngest son. Later they realized it was because the eldest son Ji Moting feared his two naive younger brothers would be taken advantage of without him there to help them, so he chose to go into politics instead.
Of course, people didn\'t agree with this view at all. Ji Mochen was one thing, but Ji Moyi was an outstanding man.
Although he was the youngest of the three brothers, he had a mild temperament and was all smiles in front of you, but could become sinister behind your back. People in the circle called him the smiling tiger.
And such a personality was the best choice for guarding the family business.
As for the Ji family\'s second son, Ji Mochen...as long as he\'s happy, that\'s fine. With his big brother covering him above, and his younger brother supporting him below, who would dare offend him wherever he went.
In short, old Mr. Ji\'s only requirement for this little tyrant was - don\'t commit crimes.
It was also because of this news that Ji Ruochu wanted to take the path of her big uncle Ji Moting by passing the news through her father.
That way, not only could she rescue these victims, but also help Ji Moting gain credit. Why not?
Who would have thought Ji Moting could handle the matter to this extent?
It must have been because someone was protecting Mr. Li which led to the police\'s inability to uncover the network behind him in her previous life, and in the end Mr. Li successfully escaped abroad.
But it was different this time. Ji Mochen contacted his big brother right away.
Even though the situation was extremely urgent, Ji Moting perhaps happened to know about or was assisting with Mr. Li\'s case. So as soon as he expanded the original arrest plan again, and they were able to take everyone down in one swoop.
This explained why the show crew was told to halt afterwards, and all the guests including Ji Mochen and staff were secretly called to give statements and so on.
And to prevent accidents, all personnel who had gone to Baijin Village in Henghe Town were not allowed to leave the country recently, and had to be prepared to cooperate with the investigation at any time.
This was also the main reason why Ji Mochen and his wife didn\'t allow their child to leave the neighborhood, as no one knew if the Ji family would be targeted before the matter ended.
Fortunately, the dust has now settled, and everyone involved in this matter will be punished.
There was also no news about Baijin Village or the show crew, it was simply a perfect ending.
Ji Ruochu didn\'t know if it was thinking of it day and dreaming of it night, but that night, she had a sweet dream.
In the dream, a child was sleeping soundly in an exquisite crib, and outside was the celebrating voices of a couple:
"It\'s good we got the final payment back, I almost thought the company wouldn\'t make it and even took out the property certificate to let you use as collateral."
"My wife worked hard, our family of three will definitely have an even better life from now on!"
"Shhh, keep it down, our daughter is still sleeping."
"Quietly, quietly... let\'s go see our daughter in the room..."
...
At this point, the picture started to blur, and Ji Ruochu was overjoyed, unable to help laughing out loud.
Unbeknownst to her, there were also people paying attention to her by her bedside.
"Look, these two months have made our daughter suffer so much, she\'s so happy knowing she can go out and play now that she\'s even laughing in her dreams..."
The couple sat cross-legged by their daughter\'s bed. Seeing that the child was sleeping soundly, they finally planted a kiss on the little one\'s forehead before turning off the lights and tiptoeing out of the room.
