Chapter 789 Learn from your mistakes!
Around 8 p.m., a jeep slowly drove into a large courtyard after passing through a thorough inspection, and then stopped in front of a small building in the courtyard.

After the jeep came to a stop, a middle-aged man opened the car door, got out of the passenger seat, and then quickly walked to the front of the building and knocked on the door.

The door to the small building was quickly opened, and the middle-aged man greeted the middle-aged woman who opened the door politely, saying, "Sister Chen! Is Young Master Zhao at home? I need to see Young Master Zhao, please let him know for me."

The middle-aged woman who opened the door saw the middle-aged man standing at the door and immediately replied politely, "Director Zheng! You've arrived. Our second son is waiting for you in the study."

After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she led Director Zheng into the small building, then to the door of a room. She knocked on the door, opened it, and politely said to the young man sitting in the study reading, "Second Young Master! Director Zheng Xinhua has arrived."

The young man sitting at his desk reading a book, upon hearing Sister Chen's report, instinctively put down his book. Seeing Director Zheng enter the study from outside, he pointed to the chair opposite the desk and asked with a smile, "Old Zheng! Has there been any result regarding the matter I asked you to investigate?"

Upon hearing Zhao Gongzi's question, Zheng Xinhua immediately reported respectfully, "Young Master Zhao! I have found the information about the person who provided supplies to Jia Dongming, but according to the information our people have given us, this person has not been in Beijing recently."

Upon hearing Zheng Xinhua's explanation, Young Master Zhao's face lit up with surprise. He calmly asked Zheng Xinhua, "Old Zheng! Wasn't the person who provided Jia Dongming with supplies a local from Beijing? Also, have you found out where that person's supplies came from?"

Upon hearing Zhao Gongzi's question, Zheng Xinhua, recalling the information his subordinates had reported to him, quickly and respectfully introduced, "Young Master Zhao! The person who provided the supplies to Jia Dongming is named Wu Tianlin. His ancestral home is in Guangdong Province, but he later moved to Beijing. As for the supplies he sold to Jia Dongming, according to our investigation, they were transported from Hong Kong."

"I was wondering how Jia Dongming managed to get so many supplies when resources were so scarce in Beijing. It turns out these supplies came from Hong Kong." Upon hearing Zheng Xinhua's explanation, Young Master Zhao's face lit up with a look of sudden realization, and he muttered to himself.

Upon hearing Zhao Gongzi's words, Zheng Xinhua, recalling the ostracism he had incurred from some colleagues due to his investigation of Jia Dongming, said to Zhao Gongzi with a grave expression, "Young Master Zhao! Because of the investigation into Jia Dongming, many colleagues in the bureau have a lot of opinions about me. Some comrades even completely disobey my instructions and don't take me, their deputy, seriously!"

"Old Zheng! Wu Shengjie from your bureau is about to retire. I'll be putting in a good word for you with your father-in-law outside. Once you take over Wu Shengjie's position, let's see who dares to disobey your orders." Young Master Zhao interrupted Zheng Xinhua before he could finish speaking, speaking slowly and deliberately.

Upon hearing Zhao Gongzi's promise, Zheng Xinhua's face immediately lit up with ecstatic joy. He quickly pledged his loyalty to Zhao Gongzi, saying, "Young Master Zhao! Rest assured, as long as I can advance further, I will go wherever you point!"

Upon hearing Zheng Xinhua's pledge of loyalty, Young Master Zhao calmly instructed him, "Old Zheng! You'd better have someone thoroughly investigate Wu Tianlin's whereabouts. If you find that Wu Tianlin has returned to Beijing, remember to inform me immediately." Zheng Xinhua, upon hearing Young Master Zhao's instructions, immediately replied respectfully, "Young Master Zhao! I have already arranged for people to stake out near Wu Tianlin's residence. As soon as Wu Tianlin returns to Beijing, I will receive the news immediately, and I will report to you then."

Upon hearing Zheng Xinhua's promise, Young Master Zhao nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Old Zheng! It's getting late. You've had a busy day, so go home and rest early!"

Upon hearing Zhao Gongzi's instructions, Zheng Xinhua immediately stood up from his chair and respectfully bid farewell to Zhao Gongzi, saying, "Young Master Zhao! I'll head back now. You should get some rest too."

Around 10 p.m., Qin Huairu and Lin Qiuyue nestled contentedly in Jia Dongming's arms. Lin Qiuyue, thinking about the investigation Jia Dongming was currently under, complained to him with a resentful look, "Brother Dongming! I know you're thinking of your subordinates, but distributing benefits beyond the standard is still against the rules. You can't do this kind of thing again."

At this moment, Jia Dongming had one arm around Lin Qiuyue and the other around Qin Huairu. When he heard Lin Qiuyue's complaint, he reached out and gently patted her smooth back, smiling as he said to her, "Qiuyue! As the old saying goes, 'A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit,' so I definitely won't do anything like that again in the future."

As Jia Dongming finished speaking, he suddenly remembered his plan to send the children to study in Hong Kong, and then said to Lin Qiuyue and Qin Huairu, "Qiuyue! Huairu! I'm planning to send the children to study in Hong Kong, what do you two think?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's words, Qin Huairu sat up abruptly from his embrace, looking at him with a puzzled expression and asking, "Brother Dongming! Why would you suddenly decide to send the children to study in Hong Kong?"

When Jia Dongming heard Qin Huairu's question, he remembered his purpose in sending the children to study in Hong Kong and explained with a smile: "Qiuyue! Huairu! Now is a crucial age for the children to learn knowledge, but the schools in our city are currently closed to prevent the children from staying at home idly all day. That's why I thought of sending them to study in Hong Kong."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's explanation, Lin Qiuyue thought of the investigation team's actions that day and asked Jia Dongming with some concern, "Brother Dongming! Are you worried that something might happen, which is why you suddenly decided to send the children to study in Hong Kong?"

Upon hearing Lin Qiuyue's question and seeing her worried expression, Jia Dongming immediately realized that Lin Qiuyue had misunderstood his thoughts. He quickly explained to Lin Qiuyue, "Qiuyue! Sending the children to study in Hong Kong was an idea I had several years ago. At that time, because the children were still young, I was worried that they would not adapt well to Hong Kong, so I temporarily shelved the idea."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's explanation, Qin Huairu, thinking of the distance between Hong Kong and Beijing, looked at Jia Dongming with concern and reminded him, "Brother Dongming! We don't know anyone in Hong Kong. Are you really comfortable sending the children to study there?"
