After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Chen Mo said it, and he did it.

He compiled the evidence he had collected, along with the evidence provided by Yin Rong, and secretly handed it to Xie An'an through special channels.

It is said that Xie An'an was in a very bad mental state after receiving the evidence, and was almost insane in the place of detention.

After taking a whole night to recover, she took ample evidence and reported Mr. Xie.

For the next week, Chen Mo had a rare period of leisure and relaxation, sitting in front of the TV every day at the same time, playing with his daughter while watching local news.

After finishing her own tasks, Lan Yujuan came out of the study and saw Chen Mo leaning back on the sofa watching the news again. Curious, she smiled and asked:

"What's gotten into you lately? You've suddenly become interested in the news."

"I've known you for so long, but I don't think I've seen you watch the news much!"

Lan Yujuan laughed and joked as she walked to the water bar, drank a glass of water for herself, made a cup of hot tea for Chen Mo, and poured a glass of milk for her daughter.

Chen Mo looked up at her, smiled, took the hot tea, blew on it gently, took a sip, and then placed it in the center of the coffee table next to him, afraid that his little girl might accidentally spill it and get burned.

"I'm just taking a look around," Chen Mo said with a faint smile.

"I don't believe it!" Lan Yujuan walked over and sat down next to him.

"If you only looked at it for a day or two, that would be fine, but I've noticed that you've been looking at it for a week straight. There must be some secret behind it."

Before Chen Mo could explain, the little girl beside him turned her head with a smile and said:

"Mom, Dad is waiting for someone."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yujuan frowned curiously. "Waiting for someone? Waiting for whom?"

She turned her head and started watching TV intently as well.

Local news channels mostly broadcast local news, events, and meetings. What's so interesting about that?

In her memory, Chen Mo's friends and acquaintances were all relatively low-key and rarely appeared in such public occasions.

Seeing that his "secret" had been exposed by his little girl, Chen Mo stopped hiding it and chuckled softly:

"Nothing much, just checking to see if that guy surnamed Xie has come out these past few days."

"Under normal circumstances, local news involves various meetings, which he usually attends and rarely misses."

Lan Yujuan suddenly realized, "So? Has he shown up this past week?"

Chen Mo smiled and shook his head. "No."

"Since I handed the things over to Xie An'an, I haven't seen him at any meetings for a whole week."

At this moment, the daughter standing next to her added:

"Dad said that if that person doesn't show up again, he probably won't show up again."

Just then, the local news ended, and the person was still nowhere to be seen.

Chen Mo picked up the remote, turned off the TV, and smiled:

"He hasn't shown up for a week, so it seems he won't be appearing again."

At first, Lan Yujuan was somewhat skeptical of this judgment.

After all, such a big thing has not been leaked out at all; there might be a twist.

One day at work, the new barista at the coffee shop excitedly started gossiping with everyone.

"Hey, have you heard? That teahouse on the mountaintop was shut down a few days ago!"

"I heard that handsome young boss, Mr. Wang, has also been arrested and might be sentenced!"

As soon as this gossip spread, it instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the store.

"Why was it shut down?"

"What exactly did that Boss Wang do wrong?"

"Oh dear, not long ago, I accompanied my boss to Youxuan Tea House for tea tasting and bought a piece of calligraphy and painting at a high price. At that time, I hadn't heard any rumors about it yet."

How come even the teahouse has been shut down in the blink of an eye?

"Where did you hear that? Is it accurate?"

At that moment, Lan Yujuan was helping out behind the bar when she heard the commotion in the lobby on the first floor. She couldn't help but prick up her ears and listen in.

The barista in the shop said confidently, "Of course it's real, how could it be fake?"

"When I applied for the job last time, my best friend was applying for a job at the tea house upstairs. I became a barista, and she became a tea master."

"Just now, I saw her packing her luggage and walking down from her dormitory on the mountain."

"She told me herself that the teahouse on the mountain had been closed, and she was planning to go down the mountain to find a new job!"

Just then, an unfamiliar face suddenly appeared in the crowd and approached.

Lan Yujuan vaguely remembered that customer had been to the coffee shop more than once, but he rarely spoke to anyone.

This time, taking advantage of everyone's interest, the other party mysteriously shared:

"That Wang Xie's mother, I think she's some high-ranking official's mistress, and Wang Xie is the official's illegitimate son!"

"That high-ranking official appears to be incorruptible, but in reality, he's a massive corrupt official!"

"They used the teahouse on the mountaintop to buy a lot of cheap Pu'er tea, fake antiques, and cheap calligraphy and paintings at low prices, and then sold them at high prices through auctions, tea parties, and exhibitions."

"If anyone wants to ask that big boss behind the scenes for a favor, they first have to become a member at the teahouse and then bid on items at a high price. The teahouse collects the money first, and the boss does the favor later!"

"The whole process went completely undetected. If it weren't for his own daughter reporting him, he probably would have never found out, even until his death!"

"Speaking of which, it's that high-ranking leader's own fault; he treated his own daughter badly!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.

Everyone else was just listening to the excitement, but Lan Yujuan took it to heart.

She quietly pulled the barista, who had brought back the gossip, aside and whispered:

"How much does your tea master friend earn per month? Has he found a new job?"

She wasn't interested in gossip, but she took a liking to the laid-off employees of the tea house.

If a coffee shop wants to open a branch, it needs to train its staff in advance. Finding suitable people is a troublesome matter…
