Chapter 85: Tree-Shaded Community
After a half-hour nap, Cui Jian did a set of plank exercises in the bedroom and went to the shower room to take a shower. I still like houses with outdoor areas, even if it is Villa No. 30, there is not only space for exercise, but also for wandering around.
Drive to Ye's house, pick up Ye's mother and go to pick up Ye Zheng from school.
After three days of this life, Saturday soon arrived. Ye Zheng was going to take a violin lesson at 4 pm on Saturday and Saturday, which lasted for an hour and a half. According to Shi Feng, the tuition fee for one lesson was 10 million, and the teacher would not accept unqualified students, so even if he had money, it would not work.
This is the leader in the industry, and he sets the rules himself.
The teacher's home does not allow outsiders to enter, except Ye's mother. It is said that Ye's mother once learned violin from this teacher and performed on the international stage. After marrying into a wealthy family, she gave up her music career.
The teacher's home is not in a villa area for the rich or quasi-rich, but a self-built house with no front yard or backyard, side by side with other houses. There is a sidewalk several meters wide at the entrance, and green trees are planted along the roadside. The road in the middle is a double lane, and the overall view of this tree-lined road is quite quiet and beautiful.
Two hundred meters away is the main road, and the speeding cars form a sharp contrast with the tranquility here.
After sending Ye's mother and Ye Zheng into the teacher's house, Shi Feng sat down on a bench beside a green tree to tease pigeons. As the sidewalk was wide and there were not many passers-by, a group of pigeons regarded this place as their home.
Cui Jian sat on another chair.
Across the street, a thin man in a gray windbreaker came out of a small post office.
Next to the post office is a small bank branch. From the outside, you can see people sitting inside waiting to do business. A couple pushed the door open and walked towards the cars parked on the side of the road, chatting and laughing. Although it is a two-way street, there are many cars parked on the left side of the road, and the remaining road surface is barely enough for a C-class sedan to pass.
Next to the post office is the community library, where people dressed like students are reading books. Outside on the sidewalk, there are people walking their dogs and teenagers playing skateboards.
Apart from the bank, Cui Jian did not find any other outdoor cameras.
Cui Jian didn't like this place. It was open on all sides, and things were messy and disorganized. Two bodyguards couldn't take care of it. This was a place that killers liked. A place that killers liked was definitely not a place that bodyguards liked.
It seemed that there were a lot of people, but it was very quiet. A black car passed slowly in front of the road, and the sound of dead branches falling on the ground under the tires also made Cui Jian, who was standing by the roadside, feel irritated.
Shi Feng noticed something was wrong with Cui Jian, so he sat down next to Cui Jian and looked around: "Are there any bad guys?"
Cui Jian shook his head: "I just don't like this place."
Shi Feng: "How quiet, like a sanctuary in the city."
Cui Jian looked up at the trees and said, "The street is not wide, but the shade of the trees is dense. The treetops on both sides of the road are almost touching each other. The sun will not shine on this block after 50 pm, so it is dim even during the day. If you look at the cars parked on the roadside, more than % of them have film on them, so you can't even see if there are people inside."
Shi Feng said: "This is called a tree-lined street, don't you understand? The housing prices here are very expensive."
Cui Jiandao said: "There are too many hidden spots in this public place, and there is a lack of places with good views. There are many blind spots, such as mailboxes, cars, green trees, sculptures, etc. If there are really bad guys who want to do bad things, two bodyguards are not enough."
Shi Feng said: "Cui Jian, you may not be very good at your job, but you are always good at slacking off. The nearest police station is 700 meters away, and there are two bodyguards. The bad guys will not target Ye Zheng." The subtext is that you can only drive and fight, so stop exaggerating.
Shi Feng seemed to be right. More than an hour later, Ye Zheng and his mother got into the car safely. Cui Jian started the car, but did not start it immediately. Instead, he raised the chassis of the car. While wasting time, Cui Jian looked in the left rearview mirror at a bench by the tree 50 meters away. There was an old man wearing a canvas hat sitting on the bench and reading a book. The car started, and Cui Jian kept looking at the old man until he disappeared in the rearview mirror. Why did Cui Jian pay attention to this old man? Because when Ye Zheng came out, a pair of beautiful women wearing very little passed by the old man. Judging from their dress, they should have sprayed a strong perfume. The old man didn't notice it at all and read quietly. Maybe the old man didn't notice it, or maybe the old man was immune to this kind of women. Then there is another question. The library is 60 meters away from the old man. There are three empty benches on this road. Why sit on a bench so far away from the library? It can also be explained by the fact that the book belongs to the old man.
The most suspicious thing is: it is 5:30 in the afternoon, the street lights are not on, and the light under the trees on the boulevard is very poor, which is not a suitable place to read.
When Cui Jian is not concerned, even if he looks at a naked beauty for ten hours, he will not be able to remember any of her features. But when Cui Jian feels uneasy and is concentrating, he can clearly distinguish the gender of a passing ant.
This is no joke. Cui Jian is certain that 99% of the ants passing by him are female.
Cui Jian also noticed another detail. Ye Zheng was very unhappy and dodged the hand of Ye's mother that was touching his head. Ye's mother's voice was so soft that the people in the front row could not hear it clearly, but they heard Ye Zheng's counterattack clearly: "Why should I do something that you can't do yourself? I have said ten thousand times that I don't like violin, I don't like violin, I don't like violin. That is your dream, why do you force it on me? Just because I have talent, do I deserve it?"
Ye's mother was a little sad when she heard this. Seeing that her mother was about to cry, Ye Zheng said impatiently, "Stop crying. You just cry every day. My grandmother told you that you are the only wife of the Ye family. Don't just cry about everything. You just think I'm easy to bully, so you catch me bullying my kids every day."
If you say he is filial, he will speak loudly to his mother. If you say he is unfilial, that is not entirely true. But this is not something an eleven-year-old child would say.
Cui Jian and Shi Feng looked at the road ahead and pretended not to hear.
Seeing his mother not speaking and concentrating on wiping her tears, Ye Zheng became very impatient and stretched his head out: "Cui Jian, is your mother such a coward?"
Cui Jian: "I'm an orphan."
Ye Zheng was choked and looked at Shi Feng. He didn't want to talk to Shi Feng, so he continued to ask, "Is he dead?"
Cui Jian: "No, they don't want me anymore."
Ye Zheng was choked again and asked, "Why?"
Cui Jian: "It is said that I was born when I was in high school, but they couldn't afford to raise me and didn't dare to keep me. Fortunately, someone was willing to pay 20,000 yuan, so I became an orphan."
Shi Feng: "Hey, make it more convincing, twenty thousand?"
Cui Jian looked at Shi Feng and asked, "Did I say it was Han Yuan?"
Ye Zheng patted Cui Jian on the shoulder like a little adult and said, "You are worse off than me. My dad rarely comes home once a month, and my mom squeezes all my free time out of me, but it's still better than you."
Shi Feng asked back: "Why can't you be a strong man and protect your mother? The rules are made by the strong. You are the only young master, and you have grandparents who love you. Why do you blame your mother for being cowardly?"
Ye's mother did not stop the three people from talking. She was a little sad about what Ye Zheng said, but her eyes were full of tenderness when she saw Ye Zheng. Ye Zheng hated such a mother. He hoped that his mother could have her own life instead of being tied to him. Whenever he saw his classmates' mothers being generous and open-minded in dealing with people, or being decisive in business, he always felt that his mother was not up to the standard.
The reason why Ye Zheng exploded today was, of course, because of something that happened when he was learning the violin, but his emotions had obviously been pent up for a long time. He hated that when the mistress came to the house, his mother only knew how to sob, and asked him, a half-grown kid, to protect him. After listening to Shi Feng's words, Ye Zheng seemed to understand something. Although he was not very old, he also knew that he had a lot of resources, not to mention that he had a sister with the same father and mother who already worked in the consortium.
