Volume 1 Rebirth Return Chapter 5 Reach a Consensus

  The middle-aged policeman looked at Su Rui with a strange expression.

  That old man knew, back then he was brought by a big shot, one look and you could tell he wasn't an ordinary person, who knows which big shot he came from, coming to this nursing home, if we can get in good with him, wealth is just around the corner. Everyone's getting restless.

  "No one is allowed to disturb." The big shot who brought the old man splashed a bucket of cold water on them with just one sentence.

  Some people are unwilling to accept it. Why can you get close to the big shots? Who doesn't want to get rich, opportunities are equal after all. Whoever gets favored depends on their abilities.

  But when they saw the man's mocking smile and icy gaze, most of them dispelled their thoughts.

  The clever ones realized that after he left, no one went to visit the old man again. They all understood that this old man was indeed not to be disturbed. Otherwise, why wouldn't they go to curry favor with him? After all, the mayor was among them and knew the old man best. Those officials were secretly relieved.

  There are also those who don't know better, buying gifts and visiting, only to be demoted soon after. Well, now no one dares to disturb him anymore.

  The middle-aged policeman knew this old man because his former superior was one of those who gave gifts, and he was demoted with an unhappy heart, telling him when drinking with him.

  Go ask the old man, he can't make a decision, can only go ask his superior, he was promoted after giving many gifts, can't just lose it like that.

  "You wait here for a moment, I'll go out for a while." After saying that, the middle-aged policeman walked out of the ward and closed the door.

  At the moment the door closed, Tao Zexi was surprised to find that Su Rui, who was sitting, had withdrawn her sad expression and became unfathomable.

  A cold voice sounded, "Tao Zexi, Tao Jingmin is your father, right? I'm curious why you appeared in this small county town of Qingmu."

  Tao Ze Xi quickly regained his composure, looking at Su Rui with a hint of curiosity, "How did you know my father is Tao Jing Min? Although it's not a secret, but at least the young girls in Qingmu County wouldn't know."

  "Don't be nervous, how I knew it's none of your concern, I have my own ways." Su Rui drank water leisurely.

  Tao Ze's mouth twitched, and he muttered to himself, "Who cares about you, self-absorbed girl?" However, he still put away his playful expression and said seriously, "Speak up, what's your purpose. You should know that taking care of a little orphan like you is still very simple for me."

  Su Rui rolled her eyes ungracefully, "I just need your help with something, don't worry you absolutely won't regret it."

  Tao Ze Xi leaned against the wall, regaining his nonchalant demeanor. "Why should I help you? What's in it for me? You're still a kid who reads fairy tales, don't think that reading a few romance novels makes you an adult."

  "Do you think you're talking to a child? So that's all there is to Tao Zexi, I don't have any benefits for you, but your father might be different." Su Rui deliberately bought a guanzi.

  Tao Ze Xi looked at his little girl who was intentionally dangling and had to become serious after all, it concerned his father, "What do you want to say?!"

  "For example... let him take another step forward... or many steps. How about it, Tao Shao, is this condition good enough?" At this time, Su Rui didn't look like someone who had just lost her parents at all, as if she was carrying an aura of supremacy and thick self-confidence.

  Tao Zexi felt as if he had been bewitched, for he actually believed this underage girl! He believed Su Rui's words, and even if Su Rui said that she could let his father enter the capital city, he would believe it without hesitation.

  Of course, many years later when his father really entered the capital, he was very glad that he had not refused Su Rui at first.

  Tao Ze Xi quickly covered up his momentary lapse, "What do you want me to do?" He didn't notice that his tone carried the same respect as he would have for his father.

  "Firstly, help me get rid of Li Fugui and Wang Chunhua, then help me take revenge!" As soon as she mentioned taking revenge, a fierce glint appeared in Su Rui's eyes.

  "You mean Zhang Ze Yi?" Tao Ze Xi asked uncertainly.

  "Of course not, there's also Qingmu County Magistrate Zhang Fumin and Secretary Li Wansheng! I believe Tao Ze wouldn't come to Qingmu County for no reason. You're here because of your father?" Su Rui looked at Tao Zewei with certainty.

  "You... how did you know!" Tao Zexi stared at Su Rui with wide eyes. Who was she, anyway? Not only did she know who his father was, but also the true purpose of his coming here. He had indeed come for his father, to collect evidence of County Chief Li Fumin's crimes and bring him to justice. Now Tao Zexi's mind was filled with doubts, and he couldn't help but question his own understanding of things over the years. Were high school students these days really that formidable?

  Seeing Tao Zexi's performance, Su Rui knew she had guessed it right. What did Tao Zexi come here for instead of his father? Was he looking for her parents? No, if that was the case, he should have reacted when she mentioned her parents' names earlier. It seemed he didn't even know their names, so it wasn't about finding them. Then... there was only one possibility left - gathering evidence of County Magistrate Li Fumin's crimes! Thinking this, Su Rui's eyes lit up, truly heaven was helping her.

  "It seems we can work together since our goals are the same." Su Rui smiled at Tao Zexi.

  Looking at the girl sitting, with her legs shaking because of insufficient height, Tao Ze Xi felt powerless. He was actually being suppressed by a little girl in her early teens. How humiliating!
