Chapter 236 Who's More Cunning
A small yellow croaker weighing half a pound is 250 grams. According to Wu Xingbang, selling just one small yellow croaker is enough.
Bai Ge thought it was a good idea, so she hid the other small yellow croaker and the gold bracelet, and then asked Wu Xingbang to exchange them for a small yellow croaker.
Wu Xingbang had ulterior motives from the start; he told the other party it was eleven yuan per gram, which is a difference of one yuan and fifty cents.
Based on this calculation, Wu Xingbang can earn a profit of 375 yuan from each small yellow croaker.
Of course, this was a sum he earned without Bai Ge's knowledge.
When Wu Xingbang finally returned, he gave Bai Ge 2,300 yuan.
"I gave the extra seventy-five yuan to that guy as a kickback. He has several henchmen under him. Besides, we did this to shut him up and prevent them from targeting me again. That way, when I leave the black market, they'll have taken care of the mess behind me."
With this explanation, the white dove understood.
Two thousand three hundred is not a small amount.
Bai Ge took out three hundred yuan and gave it to Wu Xingbang: "Then I'll trouble you, Xingbang, to help me secure that temporary job first."
“Okay, but what about the child if I have a job? The child is too young and can’t be left alone.”
"I'm also worried about this. If we hire someone to babysit the child, wouldn't that be too conspicuous?"
"It's alright, I'll ask around for you. If we finalize the job and pay the money first, we can see if the factory can help arrange things and try to shift the working hours to the daytime. That way, you can take care of the child at night. As for lunch, the factory should allow you to come back for lunch."
"Okay, thank you, Xingbang."
Wu Xingbang was obviously after the money Bai Ge had, especially the child she was carrying.
Bai Ge kept saying that the child was hers, but he clearly heard Bai Ge mention the child's parents that time, so either Bai Ge picked up the child, or she secretly took the child.
Wu Xingbang still had feelings for Bai Ge, so he was more inclined to believe that Bai Ge had picked up the child by chance.
Perhaps she suspected the child's origins based on his or her clothes or something else.
Meanwhile, Ye Nuan finally found Bai Ge's place.
She even saw Wu Xingbang coming and going from here.
So how exactly did Wu Xingbang manage to convince Liu Lihua that he was still a good husband?
When the white dove saw the child, she finally realized that something was wrong.
Although the child is still young, she can tell at a glance that this is not Fang Dabao from her previous life.
So, who exactly is this child?
Where did it come from?
Ye Nuan had doubts, but due to her limited abilities, she could only suppress them for the time being and think of a solution later.
She went through the events of her past life again and again, and suddenly remembered that Wu Xingbang's promotion in his past life, apart from being transferred to civilian work because of Hao Dahai's injury, seemed to also involve some kind of child rescue project. Afterwards, he was praised by his superiors and even gave several speeches outside.
Therefore, it must have been through this opportunity that he met an important person.
Otherwise, how could Wu Xingbang have risen so quickly, and how could he have remained firmly in his position as battalion commander despite the uproar surrounding his affair with Bai Ge in his previous life?
So, is it because Wu Xingbang has someone protecting him?
At this moment, Ye Nuan seemed to have figured out many things.
Was Wu Xingbang so protective of Bai Ge in his past life simply because Bai Ge was his first love?
She clearly saw Bai Ge meeting with different men. Although there was nothing too outrageous, the ambiguous glances and lingering affection between them were unmistakable.
The problems that Ye Nuan couldn't figure out herself, she naturally had to leave to Gu Hanchuan to figure out.
Gu Hanchuan was somewhat surprised when he heard about the white dove.
"How can you be so sure that child isn't Bai Ge's?"
Ye Nuan remained calm and composed: "I heard her say it herself. She even mentioned using the child to improve her future prospects. It must be the child of some high-ranking official."
Gu Hanchuan frowned: "Then can you be sure whether this child was stolen by Bai Ge or picked up from somewhere else?"
"It's not certain. But it's quite interesting that White Dove clearly knows about the child's background, yet she's not in a hurry to take the child to find him."
"What can you do?"
Ye Nuan thought for a moment and whispered, "As long as I can face Bai Ge, I have a way to make her tell the truth."
Gu Hanchuan raised an eyebrow: "So confident?"
"Try?"
Gu Hanchuan smiled: "Okay, let's give it a try!"
That evening, the couple said they were going to visit Song Huili's house. Afterwards, they drove to the police station's residential compound and went up to greet Qi Chen and Song Huili.
When Qi Chen heard about this, he felt it was a bit far-fetched.
"You really know how to get her to tell the truth. Hmm, the medicine I just made, although its effects are still not very stable, is still very easy to use against an ordinary person who has not received professional training."
After Qi Chen muttered a few words to himself, Gu Hanchuan and Ye Nuan quietly left through a small gate in the family compound. The gate was narrow, only wide enough for one person to pass through at a time, so no one usually used it.
After the two left, they went straight to White Dove's residence.
Gu Hanchuan had hidden a bicycle here beforehand, and now he simply unpacked it, got on, and rode away.
Bai Ge didn't recognize Gu Hanchuan, so she was a little scared when she heard the knock on the door.
After all, it was nighttime, and she was a single woman; who wouldn't be afraid?
"Who is it?"
Bai Ge figured that this was a large, crowded courtyard, and probably no one would dare to openly come to her door and act like a hooligan, so she boldly opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Gu Hanchuan strode in. Before Bai Ge could even question him, she panicked when she saw Ye Nuan's familiar face.
"Long time no see, White Dove."
Bai Ge knew that Ye Nuan also lived in the family compound, and even knew that Ye Nuan was now a doctor with a job that was much better than hers, but she never expected to meet her under these circumstances.
Ye Nuan approached Bai Ge, and before she could react, an injection was plunged directly into her neck. Soon, Bai Ge's condition deteriorated.
Ye Nuan looked at her watch and waited for the medicine to take effect.
Thankfully, it only lasted three minutes!
It seems that the white dove's defensive awareness is not strong.
"What's your name?"
"White dove".
Are you a man?
"No, I am a woman."
Are you Khalil Fong's wife?
"Yes."
What brings you to Zhejiang Province?
"Find Wu Xingbang."
The first few questions went smoothly, and then it was up to the professional Gu Hanchuan to interrogate them.
Ye Nuan took notes from the side, and Bai Ge cooperated throughout.
When asked about her child, Bai Ge hesitated for two seconds, but ultimately couldn't resist the effects of the drug.
“He is not my child; he is the grandson of a high-ranking leader in the military region.”
