Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 813: Chapter 487: Fleeting Days (Part 2)

This matter also exposed a big rat—Mr. Long Yuping, the current Deputy Mayor in charge of agriculture, ranking just below the executive Vice Mayor.

Long Yuping is the younger brother of Long Yusheng, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Committee. Many people were greatly surprised by his misconduct. Over the years, he has given the impression of being diligent and low-key—it turns out you can’t judge a book by its cover.

And the funniest part is, when Shangguan Yunhang went to arrest him, Mr. Long was having dinner with his wife at home—leftover porridge from the previous meal, cold cucumbers, spicy potato strips, plus a few buns costing 50 cents each...

After Long Yuping was arrested, Long Yusheng immediately expressed his stance, proactively avoiding suspicion...

Some other loose ends involved were also tied up one by one.

When the verdict was broadcasted on TV, seeing Yin Dejiu with his head lowered, Sister Li let out a long breath of relief. For so many years, she had always worried about the day Yin Dejiu would come to fight for Dongdong with her. This time, she was finally at ease!

It’s not that she was cruel, but the other party was too shameless!

On the third day of February after the New Year, with the closure of the ’Young Master Case,’ Luo Zhenggang was officially transferred to the provincial level, becoming the first Deputy Governor right after the executive Vice Governor, primarily responsible for commerce, urban construction, tourism, etc. His fortune from adversity made many people extremely envious.

Of course, most officials in Island City were genuinely happy for him. If the eldest in the family develops well, doesn’t the family also have a supporter?

Xiaoju went to Ludong in early February with Luo Zhenggang and Wen Xin, and Sister Li planned to leave Island City together when Dongdong reported to Ludong.

Originally, Grandpa Luo was supposed to go to Ludong with them, but when he went to say goodbye to Mr. Song, the latter clung to his sleeve and refused to let go.

Grandpa Song, already in the early stages of senile dementia, couldn’t analyze what should be and what shouldn’t be; he just felt that he couldn’t lose this playmate.

Helpless, Grandpa Luo had to stay for the time being. Fortunately, Luo Feng would still be in Island City for more than two months, and the two of them moved to Seventh Uncle’s villa that very day.

After Luo Zhenggang was transferred, to avoid suspicion, they couldn’t continue living in their original house, so Mr. Song simply moved along. Song Fangzheng and his wife looked at the childishly happy Mr. Song, full of helplessness. If they weren’t as close as brothers with Luo Zhenggang, how would they dare to let the old man create such a ruckus?

However, because of this, the relationship between the Luo Family and the Song Family truly became as close as if they were one family.

When all was settled, Luo Ye’s heart was finally at ease. Though she was in Sha City, her heart was constantly concerned about Island City. Luckily, everything went smoothly against expectations, and her father ended up benefiting from the misfortune.

She returned to Beijing on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year to take care of Grand Old Master Ye. The Ye Family was immensely grateful for Luo Ye’s loyalty and sense of duty. For people who look out for me, I, in turn, look out for them. Thus, on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the Ye Family specially brought the Grand Old Master to Sha City, where they stayed at the Wen Family home.

Old Master Ye and Old Madam Ye also stayed directly at the Wen Family. Regardless of whether the engagement would happen or not, Luo Ye as a granddaughter-in-law was already recognized.

Ye Xuan could only make one phone call a month, each lasting only three minutes. It was truly a race against time. It felt like they hadn’t even spoken a few words before time was up. All he could do was hope the next call would come sooner.

The selection process for the Fierce Tiger Vice-Captain, originally scheduled for after enrollment, was postponed. Feng Tianzhi took full responsibility, and until the selection was complete and the personnel were all in place, they would then consider choosing a deputy.

Most of those who had been selected for Team A previously also participated in the Fierce Tiger selection. After rounds of selection, by the final selection, it was early summer.

In the end, Xing Nong, Yaoguang, Ji Sisi, Zhan Hao, Yan Han, and Liu Xing were all selected.

But Yu Na chose to withdraw at the last moment.

Regarding her decision, Feng Tianzhi did not stop her, merely giving her a casual glance, waving his hand, and saying nothing more.

After the crowd dispersed, Yu Na sat there motionless, chin in hand. She automatically turned her head when she heard a slight noise beside her and saw Luo Ye looking at her with interest.

"Do you think I was scared?"

Luo Ye shook her head: "I didn’t think so. Given your character, it’s unlikely. I can only say you’re very confident, yes, very confident!"

Yu Na raised an eyebrow: "Did you figure it out?"

Luo Ye frankly sat down beside her: "In your opinion, since you think Team A is inferior to Fierce Tiger, you happen to want to do better in the so-called inferior Team A than I do. This way, there’s no need for comparison; who’s better becomes clear, right?"

Yu Na looked at her with surprise: "You truly are smart. Having you as a rival is indeed interesting. Can I ask you something, why was the engagement canceled? Is it true, as rumors say, that you’re undecided between Ye Xuan and Feng Tianzhi?"

"This, people can say what they want. I don’t need to explain to anyone." Luo Ye smiled faintly, stood up, "I, really admire your courage, so I stayed to talk to you. If you’re still thinking of pursuing Ye Xuan, I can only say, save it; he’s mine!"

"Oh?" Yu Na raised an eyebrow at her, "With such confidence, why was the engagement canceled? I’ve heard that someone suggested finalizing the engagement to bring happiness to the Grand Old Master. Now that he’s still in a coma, why don’t you help the Ye Family?"

"Are rumors believable?" Luo Ye left with that remark, this kind of talk she has heard repeatedly. Human nature is like that; the more they assume the worst in someone, the more excited they become.

If you really explained, they wouldn’t believe it anyway and would think it’s just an excuse. So, she explained to no one, believing that actions speak louder than words, and besides, the Grand Old Master’s condition was improving, and maybe he would wake up soon.
