After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 316, Episode 0341: A Tribute
Along the way, Lin Yuexi would occasionally go to the back to linger, and with the fragrance of melons, the two or three-day journey wasn't too difficult to endure.

Upon returning to Beijing, Lin Yuexi first led Elder Chen and the others back to the courtyard house that had been awarded to her by the authorities.

The mansion has three courtyards and plenty of rooms. Even though the last courtyard is Lin Yuexi's private property and has a separate gate for entry and exit, the number of rooms in the first two courtyards is enough for each of the elderly people to have a room, with some to spare.

Old Chen and the others didn't stand on ceremony with Lin Yuexi and moved into the houses they liked.

They call it elderly care, but these elderly people don't really need anyone to take care of them.

They have all been exonerated. Veterans or former soldiers from Z can return to work if they wish, or receive pensions and retirement benefits if they do not.
Those who were once merchants, although no longer supported by the state, have repaid what they owed. Those with substantial assets are practically supporting others.

They are all unwilling to go home for this reason. They have gotten used to living and playing around in the countryside. They are getting old and alone anyway, so it's good to live together and retire together.

In other words, Lin Yuexi simply provided a place to stay; she didn't really need to take care of anything else.

Inside the second courtyard on the east side, the portly Old Wang knocked on Old Liu's door next door.

Old Liu opened the door and came out, looking at him twisting his arms as if he were constipated, and asked with great confusion, "What's wrong with you? Did you eat too much train food and get a sore throat?"

After being insulted by him, Lao Wang lost all his emotions and was left only with anger.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I only stole a few pieces of fish from you, is it really worth holding a grudge for so long? Once we're settled, I'll treat you to dinner in Wangfujing, you can eat until you're stuffed."

"Then what were you doing acting like that just now?"

Old Wang was embarrassed again, and he awkwardly tugged at his chubby hand, asking, "Is it alright for me to stay here?"

He didn't know Academician Lin; he just stubbornly followed him.

Most of the properties belonging to his family have already been returned, and he also owns a house in Beijing. Originally, he thought that it would be safer for Academician Lin to travel back to Beijing with him since he had people protecting him, so he shamelessly followed along.

After getting off the train, a car came to pick him up, and he shamelessly hitched a ride with it.

After entering the house, Academician Lin suddenly had to leave in a hurry, leaving Xiao Ye to make arrangements for them.

The house is very well preserved, and its ancient charm is overwhelming. The old folks were overjoyed and went to choose a house with great enthusiasm.

He picked a room without really thinking about it, and was so happy he was practically grinning from ear to ear while cleaning it.

After tidying up, I finally calmed down. I didn't know anyone here, so how could I possibly stay?
He really wanted to live in such a magnificent house that it was so well preserved!

Only after being reminded did Old Liu realize that this person was not familiar with Xi Yatou. "I can't make the decision on this matter. I rely on Xi Yatou myself. Xi Yatou had an urgent matter to attend to and left just now. She will definitely come over after she's done. She cares about us old folks and will definitely come to check on us and make sure we're settled before she'll feel at ease. You can ask her about it then."

Old Wang thought it made sense. If the other party wasn't willing, he could rent it at a high price. Anyway, he was all alone, and all his property would go to the country anyway when he passed away.

Having figured it out, Lao Wang used it and then threw it away, saying "See you later" before turning around and going back into the house.

Old Liu, who was already used to his bad temper, didn't mind, chuckled, and went back to his room to tidy up.

Coincidentally, the grandfather and grandson in the military nursing home were also talking about Old Wang. "Old Master Wang is the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Haishi. You could say that the Wang family has a share in every industry in Haishi. Old Master Wang has several wives and concubines, but strangely enough, he only has one son in his entire life."

Old Wang's name is Wang Decai, and you can tell his father's expectations for him just by looking at his name.

He didn't disappoint his father; he had a shrewd mind and a knack for making money. He followed his father around from his teens to the next, and took over the Wang family business at just twenty.

“Back then, the city was in chaos. Besides the small notebooks and the so-called safe zones of various countries, there were also this gang and that gang. Old Master Wang passed away because of the infighting between the gangs.”

"It was no easy task for Jiang Decai, who was only twenty years old, to take over the Wang family completely. But he managed to do it with his ruthlessness and not only did he take over the Wang family, but he also succeeded Old Master Wang as the president of the Chamber of Commerce."

"While he was being accommodating to the Japanese, he was secretly helping us and providing us with a lot of assistance. One of the things I mentioned that you should remember is that we bombed the Japanese airport in Shanghai."

Lin Yuexi really remembered this. This big event was recorded. The Little Notebook was preparing to bomb the East China region. One of our teams sneaked into their airport and bombed the entire airport.

That's incredibly awesome!

It turns out that Old Wang was involved in this.

But thinking about it, it's not impossible. Japan's airport must be heavily guarded, and our people definitely can't get in. We don't even know what's inside, so how can we bomb it?

There must be someone who can get in there leaking information!

There was also important information about the plans of the small spies to bomb the East China region, and where the planes were taking off from. This kind of information was not something that ordinary people could get. However, Lao Wang, who was the president of the Chamber of Commerce at the time, might have been able to access it.

Those of us who haven't experienced it can't truly understand the dangers involved; all we can do is pay our respects!
The old man knew from the bright look in Lin Yuexi's eyes that she had understood.

“The person who had contact with Lao Wang later unfortunately sacrificed his life. Lao Wang had a one-way communication with him. After this person’s sacrifice, almost everything Lao Wang had done was erased.”

"At the time, Lao Wang was outwardly aligned with the little notebook, so later... he didn't directly eat the peanuts because there was a record that Lao Wang had donated medicine."

"Three years ago, someone in Haishi accidentally discovered a cellar in an abandoned house. Inside the cellar wall, they found an iron box containing only a notebook. The contents of the notebook were messy and the person couldn't understand them. He felt that something so carefully hidden must be very important, so he handed it over to the police."

The old man put it very tactfully. Although he had been intentionally nurturing his granddaughter, he was still consciously unwilling for her to know too much about certain darker aspects of her life.

Someone accidentally discovered that the man was a gambling addict who had lost his entire fortune, including his wife and children, and was now heavily in debt. Desperate, he heard from somewhere that the former owner of the abandoned mansion had been a high-ranking official. He figured that wealthy families like that would usually have secret rooms and passages to hide their treasures, so he decided to try his luck.

He was quite lucky. Countless people had visited that area where the constitution had been abolished, and the walls had been smashed to pieces, but no one else had found the cellar. He was the one who found it.

There was nothing in the cellar.

Enraged, he started smashing the wall and eventually knocked the metal box out.

He thought he was about to strike it rich, but after painstakingly opening the tin box, he found nothing of the gold or silver he had imagined, only a yellowed leather-bound notebook.
