Chapter 2434 Xiao Bei's Background

Chapter 2435

Jiang Wan stroked her chin and thought for a moment before saying, "Is he an orphan?"

Do you know who your parents are?

"I mean, does he know who his parents are, did he watch them die and become an orphan, or did he grow up without parents?"

"I have no idea who my parents are!"

Xiao Nan then replied, "He knows who his parents are; he personally saw them off."

"My father passed away when I was about four or five years old, and my mother passed away when I was eight or nine."

"Then I joined the martial arts school and learned with us. It was because my parents had passed away and I had almost no relatives at home."

"It seems that an uncle wants to seize his family property and house."

"But that was more than 10 years ago, during the Great Movement."

"Even if his third uncle wanted the house, it was useless. After his parents died, his work unit took the house back and only gave him some compensation."

"My third uncle's family, under the guise of wanting to do what's best for him and wanting to support him, were preparing to take away all the pension money as well."

"Later, he went to the martial arts school alone with the pension. After discussing it with our master, the result was that he would work odd jobs at the martial arts school, helping to pack things and such."

"But we won't ask for wages; we'll provide him with three meals a day, including accommodation."

“During the early stages of the major movement, the martial arts school had to close down, so he worked with his master and us at the quarry.”

“Back then, we all worked at the quarry. During the day, we would break rocks, and at night we would practice our skills until midnight before going to sleep.”

“Master said that even smashing stones in the quarry can train our strength. We also compete to see who can smash the most stones and whose stones are more evenly distributed.”

"In the later stages, the higher-ups stopped interfering, and my master somehow managed to persuade the local sports director."

"The martial arts school is allowed to reopen, but it must be registered as a state-owned enterprise."

"Anyway, back then we could still shout slogans about strengthening our bodies, so the martial arts school reopened, and we went back to the martial arts school."

“Xiao Bei stayed with us throughout the process and did not overstep his bounds or have any contact with the outside world.”

“We once asked him if his parents had left him anything else, and he said no.”

"He said he only left a little money, but you know how prices were back then."

"The combined pension for his parents is only 350 yuan."

Everyone fell silent. Two lives for 350 yuan was really not much.

However, 350 yuan was still quite a lot for that era, because a month's salary was only 20 yuan.

But that amount of money is nothing nowadays; you wouldn't even hear a sound if you threw it into the water.

Jiang Wan then said, "There's no use in guessing here. How about this, I'll go find Jin Xican tomorrow and tell him to let me see Wang Dalong."

She paused, then turned to Xiao Nan and asked, "Which of you is closest to Xiao Bei?"

"And he trusts and obeys him the most."

The three of them pointed to Dong Liao without prior agreement.

Dong Liao frowned and said, "Sometimes I manage them. Although I am the senior brother, the four of them are basically working for me."

"But I'm really not sure if he'll listen to me, especially in this particular situation."

Dong Liao's suspicions were not without reason, after all, people are attracted to light.

If Dong Liao had been their leader and the president of the martial arts alliance, these four kings might have listened to him because of his position.

If one day he becomes nothing, these four people may not listen to him anymore.

This is exactly what Dong Liao is worried about.

Xiao Nan said, "Brother Liao, don't worry, Xiao Bei will definitely listen to you. Go ahead and do your best."

"We know him best."

Jiang Wan paused for a moment and then said, "It's okay, let's try it first, and if it doesn't work, we can find someone else."

"Although the police don't allow anyone to visit Wang Dalong, it's still okay if I go through some back channels."

Her words reassured everyone.

Li Chengze, sitting quietly to the side, remained silent.

No one knows what he is thinking.

After everyone had finished discussing the matter, Li Chengze said, "I need to go home. There are some things I need to discuss with my father."

He paused, looked at Jiang Wan, and said, "The plan remains unchanged."

"But my father also needs to be mentally prepared."

Jiang Wan said, "If you tell your father these things now, won't he overthink it, for example, suspect that we're after some secret of your family?"

"After all, you can't fully explain our identities."

Li Chengze shook his head and said in a low voice, "What I want to talk about is mainly related to our family's military base."

“I need to have a serious talk with my father about this.”

"Don't worry, although my father is a ruthless and unscrupulous businessman, he is a patriot."

He said this with great certainty, and the Seven Star Group was indeed very patriotic at this time, even though they had to do some things under pressure from the US military base.

However, they have an unshirkable duty to safeguard their own national interests.

Jiang Wan smiled and nodded, saying, "I believe you, and I'll wait for your good news."

Li Chengze smiled at him, stood up, and left.

After he left, Jiang Wan turned to Qiao Liancheng and said, "Our plan needs to be implemented ahead of schedule."

Qiao Liancheng looked at her with a puzzled expression and said, "Aren't we waiting for news from Li Chengze?"

Jiang Wan shook her head.

Qiao Liancheng asked her, "Don't you trust him?"

Jiang Wan paused for a moment and said, "It's not that I don't believe him, it's just that I feel he is, after all, an unstable factor, and perhaps he will side with us."

"But if he knows too much about certain things, it won't do him any good."

"It's better for him to know nothing. We should handle our own affairs."

"Besides, if we involve him this time, we'll have to owe him a favor."

"If he needs our help in the future, we won't be able to refuse."

That makes a lot of sense, and everyone agrees.

So everyone unanimously decided to start the operation tonight.

Around 3 p.m.

Li Banxia's team quickly produced four masks, each using the faces of the three Han brothers and Wang Dalong.

After the masks were finished, they were laid out in a row in front of her, and Li Banxia stood beside them, muttering angrily:

"It used to be okay, at least I had the freedom to create my own look, but now I have to customize my face."

"When did I acquire this skill? It's very difficult, you know?"

Despite her constant grumbling, she still worked hard to finish making the masks.

Qiao Liancheng then looked at Jiang Wan and asked, "Have you come up with a detailed plan?"

Jiang Wan paused for a moment and said, "After listening to Miyata Riya's conversation, I suddenly had an idea. Could we change our plan?"
