Bai Zhenhua is in the study.
When it comes to business, he usually chooses here.
In Bai Muchuan's memory, there were not many serious conversations with him.
When seeing each other at other times, they rarely have anything to say.
Bai Muchuan has always understood his identity, and he will not bother people where he can. Therefore, when he was young, he shrank away from Bai Zhenhua, and it is even more so now.
The light in the study is not very good, at this point, it is already dark.
Bai Zhenhua turned on a headlight.
Under the blazing light, Bai Muchuan's face was a little pale.
"Say it."
He couldn't bear Bai Zhenhua's silence.
Bai Zhenhua looked at him silently for a moment, then suddenly pointed to his teacup.
"Give me some water."
Bai Muchuan glanced at him.
Abnormal.
He didn't say a word, got up silently, and refilled the water in his teacup silently.
Hot air rises, accompanied by the fragrance of tea.
The study suddenly added some tranquility and a warm atmosphere.
Bai Zhenhua seemed satisfied, took a sip from the teacup and put it down, "So sad?"
Bai Muchuan narrowed his eyes, "Aren't you sad?"
Bai Zhenhua was stunned, and nodded, "It's sad. But in this life, sooner or later, you have to reach that step. Grandma walked away peacefully. It's a good thing for herself and her children and grandchildren."
Terribly calm.
Bai Muchuan looked at him, noncommittal.
"You didn't come here just to discuss the impermanence of life, did you?"
Bai Zhenhua: "Of course not."
After a pause, he stared straight at him, much more severe than before, like a sharp knife trying to cut open Bai Muchuan's heart, and spoke his truth, "Tell me about you, how did you think about it?"
Bai Muchuan was startled.
He thought Bai Zhenhua was looking for him to discuss inheritance.
That's not a small amount of money, and no one wants to lose it for no reason.
From their point of view, Bai Muchuan could understand. Therefore, he was mentally prepared to come. He didn't expect that the first thing Bai Zhenhua mentioned was not the inheritance, but to settle accounts with him after autumn—the secret marriage with Xiang Wan.
"Ah!"
Bai Muchuan lowered his head slightly and smiled carelessly.
"You've seen what I want to say. I don't know what else you want to hear?"
"Chuanzi, you're too impulsive." Bai Zhenhua looked coldly, "If you don't know who she is, then even if she doesn't have a good education, doesn't have a good family background, and doesn't belong with you, we won't object. But she is that person's daughter, how can you?"
He also read Xiang Wan's file
Bai Muchuan sneered and asked back, "Why not?"
"How do you explain to your mother?" Bai Zhenhua raised his breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, "Her father killed your mother..."
"The law didn't consider him guilty back then." Bai Muchuan said slowly, looking at Bai Zhenhua with his eyes level, "Didn't Cheng Weiji handle the case? If he really killed someone, Cheng Weiji would naturally bring him to justice. He needs to be punished after his death." After many years, let Xiang Wan bear all this?"
"Cheng Weiji is your name?"
Bai Zhenhua was so angry with him, "He is your father."
Bai Muchuan said, "Then who are you?"
Bai Zhenhua: "I'm your father too!"
Bai Muchuan pursed his lips slightly, and made a faint smile.
"You guys are really interesting. Now you're all vying to be fathers. It wasn't like that back then..."
"..."
Bai Zhenhua looked into his eyes.
The two looked at each other quietly for a moment, and he was finally defeated.
"It seems that you have been brooding about the events back then. That's fine. Then let's not mention Xiang Wan's identity, but talk about another matter."
Bai Muchuan raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"
"The intelligence and internal reference of the second department, have you seen it?"
"..." Bai Muchuan remained silent.
"From the very beginning when this woman approached you, she felt weird everywhere. She has such a life experience. I think the information from the second department is accurate. This matter cannot be separated from her. Think about it, an ordinary woman Kid, will you shoot casually? Kill him with one shot? Chuanzi, don't be blinded by your so-called love."
"you are wrong."
Bai Muchuan sneered and denied it.
"It's not that she approached me, but I took the initiative to come to the door."
"You are all in this business. You are a policeman. She wants to lure you to the door. Isn't it easy?"
"..."
Bai Muchuan was speechless.
Seeing this, Bai Zhenhua sighed, and said earnestly: "Chuanzi, don't ruin your future because of a woman. You have obtained a marriage certificate with her now, and if something happens to her, you won't be able to get rid of it..."
"So?" Bai Muchuan smiled in a half-smile.
"While no one knows now, deal with the relationship immediately."
"Huh?" Bai Muchuan stared at him seriously, "You want me to replace the marriage certificate I just got with a divorce certificate?"
"Yes. You have to plan early. As far as I know, the second department has recently launched a big operation against the Skywrath organization. Don't hit the steel plate when the time comes..."
The investigation of the Sky Wrath Organization has always been in charge of the Second Department.
Serious Case No. 1 only undertakes related cases, but they can't get involved in anti-terrorism.
Therefore, what Bai Zhenhua told him could be regarded as "breathing" him.
Bai Muchuan listened and fell into deep thought.
He was thinking about what action the second department would take and how he was going to do it, but Bai Zhenhua thought he was thinking about his relationship with Xiang Wan, and continued to persuade, "Why does a man have no wife? Children care about things when they are young, and they will wait until later." After a few years, you will understand that feelings are just a pastime... "
Ah
"No wonder my mother doesn't like you."
Bai Muchuan came back to his senses, gouged him lightly, with a half-smile, "Not everyone is as utilitarian as you are. You are, and Cheng Weiji is. You don't understand what emotion is at all in your heart. Well, I don't understand, one by one People who live their lives in a mess, why do they like to tell me how to live?"
Bai Zhenhua was choked by him, his face turned livid with anger.
"You are the one who talks to Dad like that? No big or small!"
"Okay, let's stop playing the family card. Let's get down to business."
The gap between two generations cannot be narrowed with a few words.
Instead of arguing with him about these meaningless things, Bai Muchuan asked him directly: "Don't ask me, what should I do with grandma's inheritance?"
Bai Zhenhua's eyes flickered slightly.
"I don't know how much grandma has. I have no idea about money. What do you think?"
This sentence is not false.
Whether it's him or Bai Muxuan, it's the same.
Father and son are in the army all year round, they don't have to worry about basic necessities of life, and the family has never been short of money. They don't have any concept of money at all, and their obsession with money is not as strong as Zhu Xueyan's.
Bai Muchuan snorted and laughed, "Ask me? It's hard to say. You know, grandma left it to me."
Bai Zhenhua frowned, "Chuanzi, you should know that you can't count with just that piece of paper."
The old lady has suffered from dementia for several years. The note written at this time has not been notarized, there are no legal procedures, and there is no relevant property target on the note.
"It can be said that that note has little legal significance."
Bai Muchuan smiled, "So what do you mean?"
Bai Zhenhua rubbed his temples, as if he didn't want to talk about this matter, "I've found a lawyer to take stock of the old lady's things, and then we can sit down and discuss how to divide them up. It's all a family and can be negotiated."
negotiate
Bai Muchuan smiled brightly.
"Okay, your family has negotiated, and then let me know."
"You child, what do we call our family?"
"That's it." Bai Muchuan didn't argue or refute, and got up to leave.
"Chuanzi—" Bai Zhenhua called to stop him.
Bai Muchuan stopped and didn't look back.
"It may take some time to clear the inheritance. This is not urgent. If you are free, go home and have a meal. Grandma is gone, but I am still here. Your eldest sister is still here...she also loves you."
Bai Muchuan was silent.
For a moment, with a hmm, leave.
In the study, Bai Zhenhua sighed.
After holding his head in his hands for a moment, he started to make a phone call.
"Hello, old Cheng?"
…
When Bai Muchuan returned to the dormitory, Xiang Wan was already lying under the covers.
The computer was carried to the bed by her, the quilt was pulled up to her waist, only two hands were left out, and she tapped the keyboard loudly.
"Is it cold?" Bai Muchuan stood still and looked at her for a moment, poured a glass of warm water for her, and handed it over, "Did you not drink water again?"
"Hey!" Xiang Wan took a sip, "Did you not eat again?"
"..."
The two looked at each other.
Then, all smiles.
Bai Muchuan let out a long breath of relief.
"Why don't you ask me, what did he talk to me about?"
Xiang Wan was engrossed in writing a book. Hearing this, he managed to pull his mind back from the book, and looked at him with a half-smile.
"If you will tell me, you will."
"Then you guess?" Bai Muchuan liked to tease her.
"I guess..." She blinked her eyes, "It's probably because of your grandma's inheritance?"
Xiang Wan had the same thoughts as him.
But in fact, Bai Zhenhua really didn't talk about the inheritance.
At least, not the main thing.
Bai Muchuan was silent for a while, and took a sip from the glass she had drunk.
"Xiang Wan."
"Huh?" Xiang Wan didn't raise his head, "I have another paragraph soon, I can collect it when I finish writing it..."
"Okay. Then I'll wait for you."
Bai Muchuan turned around as he spoke, but Xiang Wan stopped suddenly when he heard him speak solemnly.
"Hello? What's the matter?"
Bai Muchuan looked at her coldly, "You write first."
"Go ahead. I'm so hungry, I can't write any more!"
Bai Muchuan hesitated.
In the end, nothing was said.
He just sighed, his voice hoarse and helpless.
"It's nothing serious, I just want to tell you that you should be more careful when you go in and out recently."
"..."
