Chapter 942 Contacting Shanghai
Jiang Jiyun looked longingly at the four puppies and said, "Could you give me your puppies? I promise I'll take good care of them."
Fu Jingyu turned to look at her and said, "Tell me where my grandfather is, and I will give you Xiaoxiao Liu, Qi, Ba, and Jiu."
Jiang Jiyuan stood aside, watching his sister haggling with the other party, feeling somewhat helpless.
He silently took out the phone hanging around his neck from his clothes, then turned around, walked to a corner, and dialed the number for Sixth Master Jiang's house.
At this moment, in the Jiang family's dining room, Old Master Dong and Old Master Fu were drinking and chatting with the Jiang family members, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Hearing the phone ring in the lobby, Da Bao and the two children rushed over, vying to answer it.
Jiang Jiyuan heard Da Bao's voice on the other end of the phone, along with the curious voices of his son and daughter asking, "Who is Uncle?"
Hearing the children's voices, Jiang Jiyuan's tense facial muscles gradually relaxed, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
When Jiang Jiyuan told Dabao to have his sixth grandfather come over to answer the phone, the two children immediately recognized the "uncle" as their father calling.
They immediately rushed forward excitedly, shouting into the microphone, "Daddy! Daddy!"
Recently, while these children were playing outside, they noticed that many of their friends didn't call their parents "father" or "mother," but rather "dad" and "mom."
After they got home, they chased after their mother, calling "Mommy, Mommy" over and over again.
Now that I finally heard my dad's voice on the other end of the phone, I was naturally overjoyed and kept calling out "Dad, Dad" over and over again.
When Grandpa Jiang heard the children calling for their father louder and louder, he quickly stood up and ran over to answer the phone.
After inquiring about the girl Jiang Jiyuan, he suddenly heard Jiang Jiyuan say that a man claiming to be Fu Beinian's grandson was also with them.
This surprised Master Jiang, who immediately shouted for Fu Beinian to come over.
When Fu Beinian walked up to Grandpa Jiang, Grandpa Jiang asked with concern, "What's your grandson's name?"
However, the moment he asked the question, Fu Beinian's smile vanished, replaced by worry and unease.
"What's wrong? My eldest grandson is named Fu Jingming, my second grandson is named Fu Jingtai, and my grandson is named Fu Jingyu. Is there something wrong with them?" Fu Beinian asked worriedly.
Grandpa Jiang handed him the microphone and said, "Your grandson came out looking for you with two dogs. Xiaoyun and the others met him in Yushi, Jiangxi Province."
Hearing this, Fu Beinian's face turned very pale. He said anxiously, "What should we do! The child is out alone with a dog. It's so unsafe! I'm really worried that something might happen to the child."
Fu Beinian gripped the microphone tightly and asked Jiang Jiyuan, "Xiao Yuan, have you seen that child? How... how is he?"
Jiang Jiyuan quickly replied, "I saw him. He said he came to find you the year before last. He doesn't seem to have any injuries, just a bit thinner."
Hearing this, Fu Beinian's expression softened slightly, but he still said with concern, "It's alright that he's lost a little weight, as long as the child isn't hurt."
He thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll call those lazy bums in my family and ask them to send someone to pick up the child. Xiao Yuan, could you please help me find some people to protect him temporarily? As long as the child's safety can be guaranteed, our family is willing to pay any amount of money."
When Jiang Jiyuan heard what Grandpa Fu said, he agreed, but he wouldn't take the money. The two old people went to Shanghai, but instead of staying at home to retire, they opened a clinic together with Sixth Master Jiang.
Although they primarily dealt in poisons, they were also skilled in healing and saving lives, as there were three old traditional Chinese medicine doctors in their shop, and their shop did quite well.
They not only treated patients and dispensed medicine in the shop, but also helped take care of three children, so that his wife could rest assured that the children were at home when she went out on missions.
Jiang Jiyuan assured Grandpa Fu that he would protect his grandson and would arrange for someone to protect him.
Jiang Jiyun happily hugged the puppies, because she had given sausages to the puppies and the big dogs, and none of the dogs rejected her.
Jiang Jiyuan came over to Fu Jingyu and said, "We've contacted your grandfather. He said he'll contact your family and have them come and take you back. I'll hand you over to the people here and ask them to take care of you."
Upon hearing that he couldn't go to see his grandfather, Fu Jingyu stood up excitedly and said, "No, I want to go to Shanghai to find my grandfather!"
Jiang Jiyuan turned to look at his younger sister, who was surrounded by several puppies. He hadn't expected that she would be tricked into revealing information so quickly.
He told Fu Jingyu, "Grandpa Fu means that you should go back to your parents' side."
Jiang Jiyun sat up from the pile of puppies and asked the unhappy Fu Jingyu, "You just arrived in this city today? How did you find your way here?"
Fu Jingyu replied, "Yes, I searched for a long time before I found that no one lived in this house. I heard that it was once the residence of a high-ranking officer of the puppet army. After the Japanese troops withdrew, the house was left empty."
"Then I had Dahei crawl in through the dog hole. I climbed over the wall myself, but I found that some people had settled down on the other side of the house, so I took Dahei and the others to hide from them and stayed here."
When Jiang Jiyun heard that it was the residence of a high-ranking officer of the puppet army, he wondered how the house could be so empty. Could it be that the local people had moved it away?
Jiang Wenming helped contact the Yue family. After Yue Jiayu spoke a few words with her father, she expressed her hope to meet with the person in charge of their team.
So Jiang Wenming hurriedly ran to find Jiang Jiyuan and said to him, "Jiyuan, your Aunt Wenxing's sister says she wants to see you."
As Jiang Jiyun watched her brother's receding figure, her mind raced, trying to decipher the intentions behind Yue Jiayu and her sister's actions.
Soon, a thought flashed through her mind: perhaps they wanted to hand over that troublesome gold mine to her brother?
Jiang Wenming seemed to have guessed this as well. He whispered in his niece's ear, "Do you think they might really give us the gold mine?"
Jiang Jiyun's face immediately turned serious, and she replied solemnly, "We are revolutionary soldiers, and we absolutely cannot take a single needle or thread from the common people! My brother definitely won't take it, and even if he does, he will definitely give us money."
Jiang Wenming was clearly not satisfied with this answer, and he continued to press, "But that's a gold mine! Where would your brother get so much money to buy it? Do you think the higher-ups might use that batch of gold?"
After all, he was well aware of the enormous amount of gold seized from the Japanese treasury.
Jiang Jiyun shook his head when he thought of the nearly 1,000 tons of gold and said, "No, Yue Jiayu should sell it for the same amount the Yue family bought it for. She's not the kind of person who would profit from a national crisis. What I don't understand is why she didn't give it to Uncle Wenxing?"
