Chapter 776: Pure 24-Karat Idiot

When Ah Hua went looking for Xia Dajun, things got interesting.

How had he managed to land himself in the police station in such a short time?

Ah Hua didn’t need to consult Du Zhaohui – if the Young Master wanted to see someone, he had to find them by any means necessary.

Xia Dajun’s situation wasn’t difficult to handle, as he was indeed an employee of the Cheng Rong Group.

But Xia Hongbing’s family of three had neither introduction letters nor company affiliations – weren’t they just illegal migrants?

Under the suspicious gaze of the police officers, Ah Hua couldn’t bring himself to lie – the company wasn’t a charity case. Everyone said Hong Kong companies were hard to get into, with young people in Peng City fighting for positions. Since when had Hong Kong companies become so undiscriminating that they would take in three illegal migrants?

Ah Hua couldn’t understand:

“Just going out for a walk, how could he cause trouble?”

Ah Hua felt that Xia Dajun’s relationship with the Young Master was somewhat different – ordinary bodyguards wouldn’t dare act this way.

Following the boss out but being more conspicuous than him, causing all sorts of problems.

The fact that the Young Master hadn’t fired Xia Dajun showed he had a good heart.

Xia Dajun didn’t want to explain to his colleague that he had seen his ex-wife walking closely with another man on the street.

He had been possessed to confront Liu Fen, and only after Chen Xiliang had him sent to the police station did he slowly come to his senses.

He was just the Young Master’s bodyguard – who would know him when not by the Young Master’s side?

The Xia family all had rural household registrations; without introduction letters, they were just undocumented migrants.

Xia Dajun remembered the woman who had threatened him at the hospital, telling him to stay away from Xia Xiaolan and her mother. He had acted on impulse, but now feared Liu Fen would tell others, especially that woman.

Xia Ziyu had told him that Xia Xiaolan was dating someone from a good family.

Xia Dajun feared Guan Hue’e could have him kept in detention indefinitely!

“I’ll talk to the police again, and explain they were previously kidnapped, that’s why they don’t have introduction letters.”

Xia Dajun knew it wasn’t good to keep troubling the Young Master, hoping to resolve things with Ah Hua himself.

Being kidnapped was indeed unfortunate. While Du Zhaohui waited to see Xia Dajun, Ah Hua told him to go back first while he stayed to vouch for Xia Hongbing’s family.

The police officer countered:

“Being from Cheng Rong Group gives them the right to cause trouble in others’ shops?”

Ah Hua nearly choked.

Having replaced Xia Dajun to gain Du Zhaohui’s trust, Ah Hua was not only capable of fighting but also clever. Limited education didn’t mean he couldn’t handle matters.

“Officer, if our company’s people have caused any damages, we’re willing to compensate. Why don’t you call the shop owner who filed the complaint, and I can discuss it with them?”

This was the right approach.

Communicating politely – it wasn’t a murder case, there was room for negotiation in any situation.

The police attitude softened, “Then wait here at the station.”

The police sent someone to find Chen Xiliang, but he wasn’t at his shop or home. In 1985, if someone deliberately didn’t want to be found, it wasn’t easy to locate them. No mobile phones, no pagers – where could you look?

Ah Hua waited idly at the police station, greatly disapproving of Xia Dajun.

Some people handled things this way – thinking only of the beginning, not the end, caring only about their satisfaction, leaving others to clean up their mess! Ah Hua finally understood why others around the Young Master disliked Xia Dajun… he couldn’t like him either.

The police later understood that Xia Dajun had encountered his ex-wife at Chen Xiliang’s shop and had brought people to harass her, which was why Chen Xiliang had sent him to the station.

Now with Ah Hua there, the police questioned him:

“They say Hong Kong companies are very particular about hiring. What kind of person is this? Thinks Yang City is like those small towns where you can ignore laws and regulations, harassing someone after divorce – the woman could charge him with harassment!”

What could Ah Hua say? Such an embarrassment – earning many times more than mainland salaries, yet still harassing an ex-wife?

Working alongside Xia Dajun, Ah Hua had to be wary – a man whose wife despised him and whose daughter disliked him must have done something terrible. If Ah Hua had a daughter who could get into Hua Qing University, he wouldn’t be ashamed even if he had to clean toilets his whole life – he’d be proud from head to toe!

While Ah Hua waited at the police station, Xia Dajun returned to the hotel.

Du Zhaohui wanted to ask him about Xia Ziyu’s boyfriend’s family.

The Wang Jianhua family?

What did Xia Dajun know? Just Wang Jianhua had been a sent-down youth in their village and got into the same university as Xia Ziyu, and the family’s troubles began after these two announced their relationship. Having just reunited with his ex-wife today, Xia Dajun felt unsettled – their past life may have been poor, but the family was together.

Now he earned money, but his family had endless troubles.

Was this Wang person born under an unlucky star?

He mumbled what he knew, which was even less than what Du Zhaohui’s investigation had uncovered.

At least Du Zhaohui knew Wang Guangping had been relegated to a meaningless position at the Party History Office. Xia Dajun only knew Wang Jianhua’s father was an official who looked down on Ziyu for being a rural girl.

Asked about what the Higher Education Department or Party History Office did, Xia Dajun couldn’t explain.

Du Zhaohui couldn’t understand people like Xia Dajun.

His daughter was capable, no?

Yet his daughter wouldn’t acknowledge him.

He poured his heart out for his niece, worried about her being bullied by her future in-laws… yet knew nothing when asked about the Wang family.

Before Deputy Director Wang’s downfall, he was a leader in the education system. With Xia Ziyu’s unremarkable education, average looks, and rural background, shouldn’t she naturally be humble to marry into the Wang family!

However, Du Zhaohui’s inquiry wasn’t fruitless – he heard from Xia Dajun that Xia Ziyu harbored resentment toward the Wang family.

Was Xia Ziyu looking to climb another social ladder now that Director Wang had been relegated to an insignificant position?

Unfortunately, he wasn’t Young Master Wang, and he was particular about women. Du Zhaohui really couldn’t appreciate Xia Ziyu’s looks – without any useful value, Young Master Du wouldn’t even bother to lift an eyelid.

“Dajun, your brother’s family has been found. Remember to tell your niece – she asked for my help before, and I’ve fulfilled my obligations to both you and her.”

Xia Dajun looked grateful, “Young Master, you’ve shown great kindness to our Xia family!”

Empty words of gratitude were useless – real repayment required something tangible.

Du Zhaohui waved his hand, “Go pack your things, prepare to return to Peng City.”

Xia Dajun immediately began to stammer.

Du Zhaohui belatedly realized:

“I sent Ah Hua to find you – where is he?”

Ah Hua was still at the police station, and Xia Hongbing’s family of three was still detained. Xia Dajun couldn’t hide it and had to explain everyone’s situation.

Du Zhaohui couldn’t even maintain his usual smiling expression.

What kind of people were these?

Why couldn’t they have found someone else to carry him from the dock?!

There were countless women in the world – Young Master Du changed women like changing clothes. He never imagined his own man would harass an ex-wife. Du Zhaohui considered himself truly bad, but he wouldn’t do something so embarrassing! This wasn’t devotion – it was pure idiocy!
