Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 640 She didn't pick up the money, but I lost face.

Despite his harsh tone, Old Ge had no ill intentions towards Ge Shaoting. Even though they had only met a few times, he could tell that Ge Shaoting was not a very ambitious person.

Perhaps it can be put another way: apart from his mother's remains, which he desperately wanted to take with him, Ge Shaoting didn't care about anything in mainland China, including his family.

So after the others were taken into custody, Old Ge simply kept them locked up without making things difficult or interrogating them. But this was not a long-term solution, and the matter eventually had to be resolved.

Zhou Yichen knew before he came that he would not be spared here, so he immediately explained why Ge Shaoting had ended up in Hong Kong and changed his name.

Especially now, he is not an ordinary person. He is also a gang leader who once helped China capture spies. His fate is not something that China alone can decide.

When Zhou Yichen spoke, he specifically emphasized how much help Ge Shaoting had given him during the trip to Hong Kong, hoping that Old Master Ge would carefully consider his wishes and not disregard them, otherwise it would be disheartening.

He then shared his thoughts.

"Actually, Gu Liannan died more than 20 years ago, and the two members of the Gu family have long accepted this fact. Who Ge Shaoting is is not that important. Since the decision that needed to be made was made back then, why bother to dwell on it now?"

It would be incredibly unfair if the Gu family discovered he wasn't dead and tried to use blood ties to control him.

He witnessed his mother's tragic death when he was five or six years old. The cause of the incident was his father's mistake in his relationship with a woman. Ge Shaoting, a young boy, had to make a living in a chaotic place like Kowloon, especially as someone else's scapegoat. Because of this, no one could force Ge Shaoting to say the word "forgiveness".

And his so-called father, Gu Beizhan, had no face to ask for forgiveness.

What Zhou Yichen didn't say was that Ge Shaoting was only letting himself be locked up without resistance because he and Chu Xin were waiting to see how bad things would get when they returned. If he really angered Ge Shaoting, it was entirely possible that he would kill someone and escape.

No one can expect someone who is immersed in a dark world to be a soft-hearted person.

Old Ge had never known that Ge Shaoting had grown up in that way, and now that he had learned everything from Zhou Yichen, he fell silent.

He wanted to abandon the situation, but the old man and his son were so desperate for help that he was almost driven mad, so he had no choice but to play the villain.

"If the Gu family really disregards blood ties as you say and directly sues him for digging up his own mother's grave, what should we do?"

If, as Ge Shaoting claims, he only admits to being from Hong Kong, then as an outsider, his crime of digging up someone's grave in the middle of the night is undeniable. Does he need to consider blood ties to avoid going to jail?

Zhou Yichen frowned, thinking to himself that the old man's thinking was still too narrow. The Gu family suing was one thing, but whether Ge Shaoting would accept it was another matter entirely.

“It’s pointless for us to argue about other people’s family matters. Instead of wasting time here, you might as well tell me where Ge Shaoting is being held. I’m worried he might do something extreme if this goes on for too long.”

"This is China. If he dares to kill someone, I'll shoot him!" Old Ge said firmly, his expression suggesting he wasn't going to back down. "Don't think that just because he's a Hong Kong gangster boss he can act tough in the mainland. No way!"

Zhou Yichen: ...

Old comrade, why are you still so impulsive at your age?

"You don't have to say anything, but I've said everything I needed to say. Just a final reminder: don't underestimate anyone. And if there are any bad consequences, don't blame me for what I did back then."

Old Ge looked grim. "Are you threatening me?"

"No, just telling the truth."

The office suddenly fell into an eerie silence that sent chills down one's spine.

Zhou Yichen remained steadfast, stubbornly waiting for an answer.

After a long silence, a sigh rang out. Old Ge's aged voice was tinged with weariness. "Enough, enough. Asking questions won't necessarily bring any good. I'll leave the man to you. Let him come quietly and leave peacefully. Don't cause any trouble."

He's getting old; he really can't keep up with the younger generation anymore.

Just as Zhou Yichen said, Ge Shaoting did nothing wrong. If they forcefully kept him in, he might do something terrible. Rather than waiting for something to be exposed and cause trouble that would catch people off guard, it would be better to keep him calm first.

After receiving the address, Zhou Yichen straightened his posture and saluted, "Thank you, sir. I promise I won't cause you any trouble!"

Old Ge rolled his eyes. "That bastard is actually talking like a human being now."

"Get lost! I hate seeing you. You're not a kid anymore, and you've already learned to be cunning. Zhou Yichen, I misjudged you!"

Knowing he had angered the old man, and not one to take offense, Zhou Yichen turned and left the office decisively.

When he returned to the group, Chu Xin was already drowsy from waiting, but she immediately perked up when she heard his highly recognizable footsteps.

"How's it going? Have you asked?"

Zhou Yichen: "Yeah, we can go find someone anytime."

So refreshing?

Chu Xin frowned and looked him over. "Didn't Old Ge teach you a lesson?"

Is that old man really that magnanimous?

Zhou Yichen sighed, "As you expected, I was scolded mercilessly, but one thing at a time, Old Ge is still very magnanimous."

Chu Xin's brows relaxed and she immediately smiled. "I'm afraid the old man was really angry because of you. But it doesn't matter. I'm relieved to know you were scolded. I can finally go home and rest in peace."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away with cheerful steps without pausing.

"So happy she found money?"

Chu Yunting had just finished his work and came over when he saw Chu Xin, whose back view was full of joy. He handed the notebook in his hand to Zhou Yichen and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

She didn't pick up the money, but I embarrassed myself.

Zhou Yichen silently revealed the truth to himself, then ignored Chu Yunting and turned to enter his office.
