After she left her father and kept her son, President Pei lost control and knelt down.

Pei Hansheng didn't open the door. He stood outside for a while, then took out his phone to call his subordinates.

Having just finished dealing with the house purchase, Goldman Sachs asked, "Mr. Pei, is there anything else you need?"

Pei Hansheng originally wanted to ask him to find a funeral service to handle Jiang Nanhe's funeral arrangements, but then he remembered that today was New Year's Eve, and Goldman Sachs had bought a plane ticket for him to return home that night, as he wanted to go home for the New Year.

I swallowed back all the words I wanted to say.

"Goldman Sachs, when are you coming back to Haicheng? I'll transfer you 100,000 yuan. You've worked hard with me."

Goldman Sachs was taken aback, feeling frightened by Pei Hansheng's sudden concern.

"President Pei, will I be able to come to Beijing after the New Year?"

Pei Hansheng raised his face and looked outside, exhaling a puff of white breath: "What, even you're leaving me?"

Goldman Sachs covered his mouth to suppress his laughter.

"Mr. Pei, don't you have a key to your wife's house? Haven't you gone inside yet?"

Pei Hansheng said unhappily, "Are we discussing this topic right now?"

"I noticed something was off about your tone, and after thinking about it, I realized that besides your wife, no one else could possibly be making you act like that."

Goldman Sachs had been Pei Hansheng's assistant for five years, so he knew his temperament well, and the two had developed a tacit understanding.

Pei Hansheng felt a little depressed.

"What am I like?"

Goldman Sachs risked everything to say: "Depressed and unhappy, heartbroken in love."

Pei Hansheng gritted his teeth: "Get lost."

"You see, they only get angry when their sore spots are hit."

Pei Hansheng scoffed dismissively, "I'm in a bad mood because my best brother, Jiang Nanhe, is gone."

Goldman Sachs was taken aback: "Last time you went to the hospital to see Young Master Jiang, the doctor said his vital signs were very good, and there was a high probability that he would wake up. How could this be...?"

Pei Hansheng rubbed his temples: "Reschedule your flight home. We'll give you a long vacation after we've finished dealing with Nan He's funeral."

"Okay, no problem."

Goldman Sachs obeyed Pei Hansheng's every command and carried out every task assigned to him satisfactorily.

Pei Hansheng put away his phone. The door opened, and Qiao Wan came out with Xiao Bao to put up the couplets.

"Uncle Pei, you're back."

As soon as Xiao Bao saw Pei Hansheng, he was drawn to him like a magnet. He looked up and said with an adorable face, "Uncle Pei, don't stand outside, come in and eat dumplings. We saved a lot for you!"

Pei Hansheng stared intently at Xiaobao, a piece of his hardened heart softening.

He curled his lips into a smile and took out a stack of red envelopes: "Okay, here are the red envelopes, take them."

"Thank you, Uncle Pei." Xiao Bao hugged the red envelope, turned around and winked at Qiao Wan.

Xiao Bao earned some money and saved it all to buy a bag for Mommy.

Qiao Wan glanced at Xiao Bao, but Pei Hansheng's presence was very strong, so she ignored him, turned around and went into the house, took the couplets to Fu Yuanzhou and told him to go out and put them up.

Fu Yuanzhou came out and looked at Pei Hansheng, who dared not utter a word, smiling without saying a word.

Little Bao's clever little brain worked its magic. He tilted his head and asked, "Uncle Pei, are you a little bit afraid of my mommy?"

Pei Hansheng rubbed Xiaobao's head: "Who said that?"

"If Xiao Bao makes a mistake, he might act like Uncle Pei. But our Qiao Xiaowan is very gentle. She's a good girl and never throws tantrums, so don't be afraid."

Fu Yuanzhou added, "Yes, Qiao Wan never uses the silent treatment on others unless they go too far and disappoint her repeatedly. In that case, she will silently kick them out of her life."

Pei Hansheng felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart with a knife.

He leaned against the window, his incredibly long legs stretched out, exuding an air of nobility: "Nan He is gone."

Fu Yuanzhou paused, dusted off his hands, and called Xiao Bao inside first.

With his hands in his pockets, he stood face to face with Pei Hansheng: "When did this happen?"

"This morning."

Fu Yuanzhou's eyes darkened slightly: "Are you sure it was a natural death?"

Pei Hansheng raised his eyes: "What do you mean? Could it be that someone murdered him? A person who has been in a vegetative state for four years, who would want to harm him?"

Fu Yuanzhou felt something was amiss: "Don't rush to make the funeral arrangements, send him to my place."

"What do you want to do?"

"An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death."

Pei Hansheng frowned: "You've gone mad."

Fu Yuanzhou patted Pei Hansheng on the shoulder: "With Nan He dead, the focus has shifted to Xiao Wan. There are some things I have to take seriously."

Pei Hansheng was extremely displeased: "The things you've considered, I haven't thought of. My woman doesn't need your protection!"

"It's different. I completely favor Xiaowan, which you can't do."

As Fu Yuanzhou spoke, he went inside to find Qiao Wan.

"There's something you need to know," Fu Yuanzhou said, pulling Qiao Wan aside. "Jiang Nanhe is gone."

A look of surprise flashed across Qiao Wan's eyes. She steadied her voice and asked, "He's gone. Does that mean Ye Jizhou will have a hard time getting out of there?"

Another life lost. If the Jiang family insists on pursuing the matter, the result will only be a harsher punishment.

"It's highly likely, but don't panic, I assure you you won't be implicated."

With tears welling in her eyes, Qiao Wan shook her head: "I don't care, I just want Ye Jizhou to get out of there safely."

Fu Yuanzhou couldn't bear to see her sad, so he comforted her, "Xiao Wan, I will do my best to satisfy you."

His expression was grave: "I need to secure the evidence as soon as possible and find out the cause of death. If it was not caused by a car accident, then Ye Jizhou will be released as scheduled."

"Big brother, wait a minute." Qiao Wan took out a lunchbox and packed the food for Fu Yuanzhou. "Take this to the hospital to eat."

"it is good."

Fu Yuanzhou glanced at Pei Xiongkai and said, "Grandpa, I have to go to the hospital to work overtime. I'm leaving now."

Pei Xiongkai ate with relish, and seeing that Fu Yuanzhou was about to leave, he put down his bowl as well: "If you leave, who will take me home? I can't trouble Xiaowan."

"Pei Hansheng is right outside."

Pei Xiongkai waved his hand and whispered to Fu Yuanzhou, "Hansheng is going to stay at Xiaowan's house. Why should I, an old man, be a third wheel?"

Fu Yuanzhou had no choice but to listen to the old man, dressed him in a cotton-padded coat, wrapped him up tightly, and went out together.

People came and went, and the house suddenly felt empty.

Shen Yingtang tugged at Qiao Wan: "Why did everyone leave? We haven't even celebrated the New Year yet."

Qiao Wan sat in a chair, holding a glass of warm water in her hands: "Jiang Nanhe is gone, and Grandpa is getting old, so let's not make things difficult for him."

"What does 'Jiang Nanhe is gone' mean? Has he passed away?"

"Um."

Shen Yingtang sighed, "The Jiang family is going to make things even harder for you now. We should have asked Yi Yanzhi to escort us away. Now look what's happened, trouble has come our way."

"My only worry in the capital is Ye Jizhou. If I really have to leave, I have to wait until he gets out safely."

"What should we do then? Wait for him to come out, and then we'll leave together?"

Qiao Wan was at a loss.

Now, whether she can even get out is a question, she looked towards the doorway.

There are solutions, it just depends on whether Pei Hansheng is willing to let this go again.

"Xiao Tang, I think Xiao Bao is sleepy too. Why don't you take him to your place tonight? I need to talk to Pei Hansheng about something."

Shen Yingtang understood her thoughts. Ye Jizhou was a very important person to Qiao Wan, like a family member.

She will fight with all her might as long as there is a glimmer of hope.

"Okay, I'll drive Xiaobao out to see the New Year's show, and when he gets sleepy, I'll take him home so he can sleep until dawn."

Qiao Wan smiled gratefully: "Okay."

Shen Yingtang took Xiaobao out, while Pei Hansheng was still outside the door. The man seemed homeless and dared not step into the house.

Qiao Wan opened the door, glanced at him, and said, "Come in."
