Chen Ming and his wife lived in a small bungalow that was one of the best in the city.
The furniture was all European style and the phonograph was imported for thousands of dollars.
Everything was enough to match their identities.
However, only Chen Ming and Yu Xiuning knew that everything in front of them was just superficial.
Yu Xiuning was the only one in the family who managed the house. She did not hire any servants, nor did she renovate it.
Although the two of them were under the command of the ShenYang Military Command, they were still living a good life.
However, there was no such thing as satisfaction.
What Yu Xiuning wanted was enough money for her and Chen Ming to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
As the national army, they were loyal to the party and state, so where did the money come from?
The appearance of the slick Xu Zhongyi undoubtedly brought a new light to Chen Ming and his wife.
"Oh, right, no one knows their husband better than their wife!”
A surprised answer came from the building. Chen Ming changed into slippers and smiled at Yu Xiuning.
Yu Xiuning could tell that Chen Ming should be very satisfied with Xu Zhongyi's new residence.
She tilted her head and a thought-provoking smile appeared on her face.
"What happened today that made you so happy?”
"Also, why didn't you ask Zhongyi to come over for dinner?”
Chen Ming held Yu Xiuning's hand and walked towards the living room.
"Aiya, of course I will. It's that kid who didn't come. He said that he still had a lot of luggage to pack!”
"He even said that he was unfamiliar with Shen Yang and wanted to take some time to go out for a walk..."
Speaking of going out for a walk, Yu Xiuning thought of something else.
"He didn't even have a car when he came to Shen Yang. Why didn't he tell you?”
The two of them sat at the dining table one after another. Chen Ming raised his eyes and replied very seriously.
"I didn't mention it!"
"How honest is this kid? He wants to go out for a walk even without a car, and he's embarrassed to ask me for a car.”
After saying that, Chen Ming straightened his body and placed his hands on the table, looking especially serious.
"Honey, this is our problem, right?”
"After all, Zhongyi is our colleague, or…"
At this point, Chen Ming became excited again and slammed the table, giving Yu Xiuning a shock.
"What are you doing? You've been so shocked since you entered the house.”
Yu Xiuning's eyes widened as she clutched her chest and shouted.
Sensing the other party's authority, Chen Ming immediately stood up and walked behind Yu Xiuning to help massage her back.
"Aiya, honey, you don't know this.”
"Xu Zhongyi is not only your classmate, but also my classmate!”
Yu Xiuning turned around in disbelief.
"Really?"
"But…"
Chen Ming knew what Yu Xiuning wanted to ask, so he quickly took over.
"He was held back, so he was in Qingpu class and Linli class. He was our old classmate!”
Yu Xiuning's heart sank even more.
With this relationship, Xu Zhongyi should be closer to the couple.
"Chen Ming, send Zhongyi a car and a driver tomorrow.”
"Residence…We also need to change our residence to one that is closer to us. It will be more convenient for us to come and go.”
Chen Ming suddenly stopped massaging his shoulders and replied in Yu Xiuning's ear.
"Honey, do you also think that Zhongyi is part of our family?”
"Hehe, this is great. With Zhongyi, we will have all the information about the headquarters in the future!”
Yu Xiuning could not agree with Chen Ming's joy at all.
Even if it was just a simple sentence, her heart was heavy and she could think of many twists and turns.
The former's thinking logic was very simple, far from the latter's shrewdness.
"How is that possible?"
Very quickly, Yu Xiuning raised her eyebrows, and her expression was filled with mockery.
"Chen Ming, everything is not as simple as you think.”
"The question now is not whether you will treat Xu Zhongyi as a family member, but whether he will treat you as a brother.”
Hearing this, Chen Ming came to a realization, and the smile on his face instantly disappeared by half.
"Ah, then..."
"There's no need to be anxious. Let's do what we should do. The rest will depend on him.”
Yu Xiuning continued, and a touch of indifference appeared on her cold face.
...
The next day, the sun rose for the first time in Shenyang.
Sunlight shone through the leaves and scattered down. A breeze blew, and the light and shadow flowed in small pieces. It was quiet and leisurely.
Xu Zhongyi lay on his bed, listening to the chirping of birds outside the window. He closed his eyes and rested.
Suddenly, the phone rang. Xu Zhongyi was not surprised at all. He stood up unsteadily to answer the call.
"Hello?"
"Aiyo, brother, you didn't go out? That's good, that's good. You scared me!”
Xu Zhongyi could not help but smile. He was wearing slippers and big pants as he pretended to reply.
"Brother, I just tied my tie and was about to go out for a walk!”
"What's the matter?"
An impatient voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.
"Don't, don't. Where are you? It's quite a distance away from the downtown area of Shen Yang!”
"Wait, wait. Where's Brother? I've sent a car over for you.”
"In the future, you can take a car out. Don't waste your time. It's not worth it!”
Xu Zhongyi put his hands on his hips and couldn't help but become polite.
"Brother, why are you sending a car? I'm dressed properly and ready to go out!”
"No, no, you have to wait at home. Also, your sister-in-law is already preparing a new place for you.”
"That place of yours is just a temporary one. We originally wanted to find it so convenient for you near our home!”
Chen Ming's flustered explanation made Xu Zhongyi's smile even brighter.
After a few more pleasantries, the two of them hung up.
Xu Zhongyi, who had succeeded in his plan, was overjoyed. He laughed a few times and went back to bed.
In fact, everything that happened just now was all part of Xu Zhongyi's plan.
He obviously knew that the small bungalow he was in was a remote place.
Chen Ming and his wife had always been meticulous and did not see clearly whether the people sent by the headquarters were good people.
Naturally, they would not casually pay them to take advantage of them.
Now that he could see that he had a close relationship with them and could form an alliance with them, he had to politely send a car, a driver, and a change of residence.
The birds outside the window were still chirping non-stop, looking up and down at the furnishings in the room.
Xu Zhongyi took a deep breath and muttered to himself.
"We have only stayed for a few days and we have to change places. Needless to say, I am really a little reluctant…"
