Chapter 127: Chapter 127: A Good Thing_1

"The signal was a bit poor just now." Lu Tingli’s clear and pleasant youthful voice came through again, "I’ve seen your stepdad in the financial newspapers. He’s very wealthy and often does charity work; he’s a man you can rely on for a lifetime."

Although he had never seen him in the newspapers, what he said was not a bit false.

Xia Jiehao not only knew him, but he also used to be his business partner and particularly enjoyed charity work.

Now over fifty, he still didn’t have a woman by his side.

He remembered one time at a private dinner party, Xia Jiehao got drunk and, clutching a wine bottle, cried and ranted about how his first love didn’t know how to kill herself, and at that time, this middle-aged man with flecks of white in his hair cried like a child.

It was only later, after he made Xia Jianren go bankrupt, that he found out his first love was Lin Lan.

He had not expected that this time, he would marry his first love.

"Congratulations on having such a stepfather," Lu Tingli offered his sincere congratulations, also silently congratulating Xia Jiehao in his heart.

Xia Ningxing’s eyes crinkled with joy as she casually replied, "The same to you, the same to you!"

"..." The same to you!?

Did she get her brain squeezed by a door? It was her who got a stepfather, not him!

Lu Tingli’s lips pressed into a thin line, unable to understand her bizarre line of thinking.

"Lu, I’m in Capital City right now. I’ll come find you to hang out after I get back!" Xia Ningxing said excitedly.

"I..." am also in Capital City.

Before he could finish, Xia Ningxing suddenly heard some noise outside and couldn’t help but interrupt, "Lu, it’s settled then. Someone seems to be knocking at the door. I have to go see who it is. I won’t talk to you for now!"

"Alright."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Tingli placed his helmet back on his head and stared at the building under construction in front of him.

Yes, he had started his business.

In the following period, he would also establish an electronics research institute, upgrade the current computers, as well as develop smart phones to accelerate the technological advancement of this era.

When Xia Ningxing hung up the phone, Xia Jiehao had already stepped forward and opened the door: "Who is it?"

Suddenly, three uniformed government officials walked in, smiling at the people inside the house.

"Mr. Xia, hello."

They each extended their hands in greeting.

"Hello," Xia Jiehao shook hands with each of them, his face bearing traces of confusion and the usual unease that ordinary people feel upon meeting government officials, "May I ask, what business does the government have with us?"

"Don’t worry, it’s good news." The government officials saw the anxiety on the faces of those in the room and immediately laughed heartily, waving their hands to reassure them, "Your family has been recognized for your contribution in fighting the criminals yesterday, and we have been sent to present you with an award!"

"Ah, I see. Well, please come in and sit down," Xia Jiehao and Mrs. Xia exchanged a look and, relieved, invited the visitors to sit.

The government officials added, "This time we really owe a lot to young Miss Xia Ningxing."

As they spoke, they also shook hands with Xia Ningxing.

"This gang are habitual criminals. Before this, they had committed crimes in over a dozen provinces, with more than thirty incidents and over a hundred victims. Their actions were organized and premeditated."

"Each time, they would observe their victims and place spikes on their usual routes. When the victims’ tires would blow out, they’d stop to check, and that’s when the criminals would rush out and knock them unconscious. After that, they would rob them of everything valuable, both on the person and in the car. Women would be raped, children sold, and the men’s organs harvested—utterly ruthless and inhumane!"
