110: Chapter 110 Descendants of the Wen Family

Zhou Wanqing and Liu Yuan both felt reluctant to face Liu Zongren alone.

So, the two sisters tacitly agreed to appear together.

Liu Zongren would certainly not choose an outside venue to host them.

In Qiantang City, there is a lake as famous as the West Lake, called Xiang Lake! The scenery is enchanting, with the water and sky merging into one!

At this moment, the sun was setting, and Liu Zongren had set up afternoon tea in the garden.

Zhou Wanqing and Liu Yuan indeed appeared at the same time.

As for his own sister, it goes without saying; Liu Zongren thought her appearance was perfect.

However, in his heart, that elegant woman was the one who haunted his dreams.

Men at their level actually have different perceptions of beauty.

In their circle, people don't feel envious or jealous just because you married a beautiful female celebrity.

But if your wife is Zhou Wanqing, then you are the coolest guy in the room.

However, from afternoon tea to dinner, there were no waves. Liu Zongren was very gentlemanly, as if he were just providing a space for the two sisters to talk properly.

Perhaps Liu Zongren's goal was simple: he wanted to ease his relationship with his sister, and by the way, gain some favor in front of Zhou Wanqing.

After all, the last time he had a shouting match with his younger brother downstairs from Zhou Wanqing's place, it was quite unbecoming of a young master.

However, Liu Yuan was very clever. She knew that she had cleared out the forces her brother had planted inside Global Asia and was attending the banquet as a victor.

But a victor often needs to adopt a higher stance.

Sure enough, taking advantage of the gap when Zhou Wanqing left for the restroom.

Liu Zongren said to his sister: "Yuan, I admire your methods. Admitting that I've been bested by you is no big deal. After all, we are biological siblings."

It was hard for Liu Yuan to answer; clearly, Liu Zongren had more to say.

Sure enough, Liu Zongren continued: "Since we are biological siblings, shouldn't you help me with your brother's marriage?"

"Let me be blunt with you. I know you've been helping our younger brother behind the scenes."

"But don't you think this is ridiculous? If this gets out, the one losing face isn't me, Liu Zongren. It's our entire Liu family."

Liu Yuan swirled her red wine glass, thinking that was true.

Now that she had found her true love, many of the mischievous habits she used to find fun were slowly disappearing.

It wouldn't be a bad thing for her older brother to find a partner sooner.

It's just that if Zhou Wanqing were to unite with her older brother, it would be a strong alliance, and she would have no chance of getting a share of the Liu family's assets.

But in Liu Yuan's heart, she was always worried about what might happen between Zhou Wanqing and Su Nange.

That kid had so many twists and turns in his brain; who knows what he's thinking.

Zhou Wanqing looks virtuous and comes from a powerful family.

But an elephant can really be eaten by a mouse.

Simply put, Liu Yuan decided not to care: "Fine, I understand what you mean, Big Brother. I will work on Wanqing."

Liu Zongren extended his wine glass: "Big Brother toasts you!"

"By the way, sister, how come I heard you've fallen in love recently?"

Liu Yuan: "Who did you hear that from, Big Brother?"

Liu Zongren laughed: "I didn't hear it from anyone. It's just that a few days ago, Aunt Wen suddenly called me. She kept hinting that Wanqing shouldn't fall behind."

"Anyway, she told me to try harder."

Liu Yuan thought, That big-mouthed Aunt Wen. Just to help her daughter, she's using me as a catalyst?

However, Liu Yuan's skin was thick enough; having roamed the grasslands before, this was easy to explain.

"Haha, don't you know me, Big Brother? There are so many men around me, I don't know which one you're talking about."

However, Liu Yuan turned the gun around and added: "Big Brother, actually, when it comes to Wanqing, Aunt Wen's words might not always work."

Liu Zongren: "How so?"

Liu Yuan smiled mockingly: "Big Brother, you haven't done your homework. Wanqing isn't a girl who cares about domestic trivialities. Can't you figure out who she listens to more?"

Liu Zongren took a deep breath: "Uncle Zhou..."

Zhou Bingzheng didn't know that two juniors were discussing him at that moment.

At night, he was still sitting alone in his office.

Being the parent official of a province is not easy; every day when he opens his eyes, there is endless official business to deal with.

Just as he was reviewing documents, Governor He came over with relevant leaders from Civil Affairs and Statistics to report.

Zhou Bingzheng put down what was in his hand.

"Why, in the middle of the night, don't you need to go home and accompany your wives? Don't learn from me. If there's a family conflict, the organization won't help mediate."

Several people laughed; Secretary Zhou was both majestic and humorous. Everyone knew Secretary Zhou's wife was not there.

However, they really had serious business.

Governor He naturally acted as the lead reporter.

He said: "Secretary Zhou, our departments have cooperated in many ways. Regarding the Wen family underground worker who represented the organization to carry out undercover missions back then, there has been major progress!"

Zhou Bingzheng: "Oh? Tell me about it."

"Secretary Zhou, it's like this. During the revolutionary era, our organization carried out underground work in Shanghai. A younger son of the Wen family, Wen Zhiyu, happened to be studying in Shanghai at the time."

"So, he joined the organization and started undercover work. Code name 'Wasp'."

"After our revolution succeeded, Comrade Wasp drifted to our Zhijiang Province."

"After our multi-party verification, we confirmed that he lived in a remote mountainous area in Lu City in our province."

Zhou Bingzheng was a little excited: "Then why didn't Comrade Wasp return to the Wen family?"

Governor He sighed with emotion: "Secretary Zhou, this is the greatness of our old revolutionary comrades!"

"You also know that our underground workers only have code names, not names. Comrade Wasp's direct superior sacrificed himself during the revolution. From then on, there was only Wasp left in the world, and no Comrade Wen Zhiyu!"

"Moreover, these underground workers, because they were long-term embedded in hostile forces, were even labeled as rebels after the revolution was won!"

"Wen Zhiyu knew that returning to the Wen family with such an identity would certainly damage the Wen family's glorious revolutionary tradition. So, that's why he decided to walk through life like that. Sigh..."

Speaking of this, even Zhou Bingzheng couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

(Regarding the timeline here, please do not substitute any real-life periods or events. However, I recommend a game called "The Invisible Guardian", it's absolutely classic! After playing it, you will know how hard it is to find some people in the world who are clearly still alive.)

Zhou Bingzheng took the report and started reading.

"Then later, does this Comrade Wasp have any descendants?"

Governor He shook his head: "Cannot be confirmed. However, after local comrades visited the village. It is said that this old man seemed to have a child in his old age. He has a daughter."

"We are checking what other specific information there is!"

Zhou Bingzheng: "Check, you must check!"

"This is not just for the descendants of the Wen family! It is even more for these comrades who sacrificed for the revolution, to give them justice!"

Governor He nodded: "Secretary, we understand!"

After seeing the group off, Zhou Bingzheng rarely lit a cigarette by the window.

He made a call to his wife in Shanghai, and she immediately reported to the old man far away in the capital.

The old man was so excited that he wanted to rush to Zhijiang Province overnight.

Zhou Bingzheng and Wen Nianci quickly stopped him.

Well, if the old man rushed over in such a hurry, I'm afraid the political circles would have an earthquake!

Zhou Bingzheng persuaded him that the old man was of such an age that he must not be agitated. There is no confirmed news yet, wait until it is clear, and report it as soon as possible.

Old Man Wen only left one sentence: "Zhou Bingzheng, you must find the descendants of my cousin! You can pick anything in my study!"

Zhou Bingzheng!!!

The conditions offered by this old man made him want to "abuse his power for personal gain" for once!

However, Zhou Bingzheng suddenly thought, aren't there two people who have a pretty good relationship with that little agent?

In this kind of thing, would it be more convenient for him to investigate?

Try it, just try it, what if it works!

So, Zhou Bingzheng thought again about who it would be better to call, sigh, forget it, just call her.

The three people of Zhou Wanqing were eating together when Liu Yuan's phone suddenly rang.

Liu Yuan looked at the caller ID and was taken aback!

Zhou Wanqing frowned: "Who is it?"

Liu Yuan's expression was very exaggerated: "Your dad~"

Zhou Wanqing and Liu Zongren???

No way, having a meal, the old man has to manage it too? Eh, no, why call Yuan?

At this time, Liu Yuan had already picked up and said sweetly: "Hello, Uncle Zhou!"

"Girl, Uncle has something to tell you, help Uncle with a favor~"

~Simple explanation.

"Okay, okay, Uncle Zhou, I remember, don't worry. I will check it!"

But at the end, Zhou Bingzheng added: "Haha, then it's trouble for you, girl. Come home to play when you have time, bring your boyfriend~"

Liu Yuan???
