Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 449 - 23: The Success of the Speculative Brother_3
In the follow-up report to the higher-ups, Shi Suifeng explained everything clearly, his act of "marriage" was actually to save the little girl’s life, allowing her to survive in a family surrounded by wolves...
Also, only the leadership knew about the fake sibling relationship, and the leaders, trusting Shi Suifeng as an exceptional talent, immediately agreed to help cover it up to prevent the girl from having difficulty finding a partner when she grew up...
But these things couldn’t be explained in letters or phone calls, thus, Chu River, unaware of the situation, could do nothing but sigh — the investigation must have gotten to the bottom of it.
Hence, she found Zhao Weihong more displeasing.
A lie that could have solved the problem now required who knows how many more to fix!
This woman was really more of a hindrance than a help.
So she spoke more directly.
"Yes, living with Shi Suifeng is wonderful. You have food, drinks, and clothes, isn’t that better than living in the village?"
This was the truth, obvious to others.
But to Zhao Weihong, it reminded her once again of the wealthy women in luxury brand stores spending lavishly in her previous life, and later, the successful businessman Shi Suifeng, and his three mogul children...
She suddenly flared up in anger: "Damn you all to hell!"
"You despicable mainland bumpkin!"
...
Now, everyone was stunned.
Not only did Chu River stay silent, but the middle-aged man following Zhao Weihong also felt hopeless — he had been silently enduring all along, planning to reel in a big fish with a long line.
But now without catching the big fish, the other party increasingly behaved like a pig; it wouldn’t make sense not to arrest her now!
The enemy’s stupidity was sometimes truly despairing.
However, before he could act, Chen Changhai suddenly shouted, "Ah, you’re a spy!"
And then he grabbed Zhao Weihong: "That’s Hong Kong Island language you’re speaking!"
"Catch the spy!"
With so many people in the carriage, at his shout, hands reached out from all sides, and Zhao Weihong, having never faced such a scene, was in a panic, quickly mustering up a defense:
"I’m not from Hong Kong Island, I’m from Guangzhou... I’m a Guangzhou person."
"Guangzhou, my foot!"
Chen Changhai held onto her shoulder tightly, "Why would you insult a mainlander if you’re from Guangzhou? Must be a spy who fled to Hong Kong Island."
He boasted proudly, "I’ve traveled across the country—"
Realizing that nowadays "traveling across the country" didn’t imply an ordinary life, he quickly gave a modest cough:
"I have friends in Guangzhou, and they wouldn’t insult like this, only spies who fled to Hong Kong Island would have such an attitude!"
...
Zhao Weihong was bewildered — in her past life later on she had participated in protests, where people got paid, 300 Hong Kong dollars a day to join a group in rioting, and in the end, it wasn’t a big deal, right?
She knew, 300 Hong Kong dollars was quite cheap, even a mainland girl selling noodles could earn twenty thousand a month. But it was free time anyway, and she was getting older without money for retirement, so why not earn a little extra...
Hong Kong Island was so free!
Thus, even after coming back to life, despite many setbacks, she remembered the current societal circumstances, the dangerous relations between mainland and overseas...
If she could have remembered, she wouldn’t have gone a month after reincarnation without a decent meal.
Until the train police took her away, she was still cursing Chu River for being malicious and deliberately framing her...
The middle-aged man who had been following her reluctantly had to catch up with the train police.
This time, his identity had to be exposed.
But it was fine; after all, having seen through it all, given this person’s intelligence, let alone catching a big fish with a long line, they couldn’t even catch a crayfish!
Might as well take her back as soon as possible and call it done.
...
After this bout of farce, Chen Changhai became the focus of the crowd.
Nowadays, doing a heroic deed was something everyone was proud of and yearned for.
Even though "enemy spy" Zhao Weihong didn’t have the ability to resist, nor was there any concrete evidence, in everyone’s minds, being in the same carriage, rounding up, they had personally helped capture an enemy spy!
As for the key figure in this operation, Chen Changhai, admiration naturally grew even more.
Look at him, how smart, how quick to react!
For a while, people crowded in the carriages, shouting loudly to broadcast their heroic deeds and express admiration for the main heroic figure.
Chen Changhai: ...
It felt... quite a mix of emotions.
A low-key small-time speculator wasn’t supposed to be in the spotlight like this.
But oddly enough, he felt quite pleased inside, hehe.
