Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Before Ye Zhifan went to Nanguang for his business trip, he already had a rough understanding of the Du family’s situation. Although they weren’t a prominent family, they still had a good family background.

The family tree of Staff Officer Du’s family was relatively simple. He had an elder brother who was the second-in-command of the province. His children had already taken part in the work. As for what they were doing, it was unknown. However, with an elder brother who was the second-in-command of a province, they were probably doing well too.

Staff Officer Du was the second son. He had two sons and two daughters. Regimental Commander Du was the eldest son. He was only 33 years old.

There was also a younger sister who was a member of the Standing Committee in the Jiangsu province. Madam Du was in her early 40s and only had one daughter, who was still studying abroad.

However, what was worth mentioning was the wife of Staff Officer Du, Madam Li. It could be said that the Du family had a lot to do with Madam Li. She was an extremely knowledgeable lady who relied on her family’s connections to elevate the Du family, which was originally a working farmer’s family, to its current status.

Ye Zhifan knew what had happened to Madam Li when she was young and what had happened in recent years. He knew that she had a high status in the Du family. Everyone in the Du family respected her. Staff Officer Du listened to everything she said. Madam Li was in charge of everything in the family.

That was true. Considering she had relied on her family’s connections to elevate her husband’s family to its current prestigious status, anyone who had such a wife would treat her like their ancestor. The regimental commander in front of him respected his mother very much.

Because of Madam Li, Ye Zhifan had to be cautious.

In the face of Du Kaiwei’s warm hospitality, Ye Zhifan took a sip of tea after he understood the situation. He said calmly, “Regimental Commander Du, you’re too polite. I thought about what you told me last time and decided to do it.

“My daughter is studying in France now. If she were to suddenly take a break from school and return to the country to join the military… It would be difficult for her to pick up her studies again. She just turned 19 a while ago. I’m afraid she won’t be able to take the hardship if I let her join the army at such a young age.”

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to bring Yingying back to the country. It was just that he needed to know what Madam Li was thinking. She was a powerful lady who didn’t like to be bullied.

The Du family would only progress smoothly if Madam Li agreed to it! Besides, he did not believe that Madam Li would not know that he had saved Du Kaiwei.

He even suspected that Madam Li was the one who suggested letting Yingying join the military. She wanted to test the Du family’s motives.

It would have been fine if he had saved Du Kaiwei by chance, but it had been arranged by someone. The Du family was not an ordinary family, so he felt a little uneasy. He could only be cautious at every step.

Hearing this, Du Kaiwei’s eyes flickered.

He actually rejected it, which was quite surprising.

Du Kaiwei gently placed the teacup in his hand back onto the solid wood coffee table. He placed one arm on the back of the sofa and spread his legs slightly. He, who was sitting in an unrestrained manner, could not help but ask with a smile, “Director Ye, do you not believe me?”

According to his investigation, Director Ye was putting in a lot of effort to send his daughter to the military unit. He tried all means to establish a relationship with the Military District of Southern Province, but he failed every time.

In his opinion, Director Ye’s biggest failure was to marry a wife as stupid as a pig and offend a national treasure. It would be strange if he could build a relationship with the Military District of Southern Province.

Du Kaiwei did investigate Ye Zhifan’s matter.. However, when he found out that the person who saved him was the director of the Southern Province Construction Bureau, he thought that it was a trap.
