Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Duoduo’s Background

"Shen Siyuan, is this the residential area you live in?"

Finally, Shen Siyuan managed to clarify to Zhou Chuan that he had no relation to Accountant Jiang.

Chen Hao then came in from the door, holding his phone excitedly.

"If you are talking about the magnetic storm issue, then yes," Shen Siyuan nodded without even looking at the phone Chen Hao handed to him.

"Then all the electronics in your house are broken?"

"Of course, even my mobile phone is ruined," Shen Siyuan pointed at the black-screened mobile phone on the table.

At this moment, he was opening his computer, which could automatically log into WeChat. He didn’t know whether Ruan Hongzhuang had sent him any messages in the morning.

"That’s a big loss," Chen Hao sighed.

Then he continued, "What exactly happened? Did someone fire an electromagnetic pulse at your residential area?"

"How would I know? Although it happened in our area, I don’t know any more than you do."

"What happened, what happened? What electromagnetic pulse?" Zhou Chuan, sitting opposite, stretched his neck, having no idea about this.

Tian Yunrui, sitting next to him, immediately said, "Brother Chuan, I know. Last night there was a magnetic storm in Shen Siyuan’s area, it’s even on the headlines..."

For a moment, the few people who had arrived all started discussing and guessing the reasons.

Instead, Shen Siyuan did not join them because, after logging into WeChat, he found that not only had he received messages from Ruan Hongzhuang, but also from Hong Wenqing and Huang Lancai.

Ruan Hongzhuang had sent two messages, the first being a morning greeting. Seeing that Shen Siyuan hadn’t responded, she expressed some puzzlement and asked if he hadn’t gotten up yet.

"I did get up, but my phone was broken. It was only after I got to the office and logged into WeChat on my computer that I saw your message."

Ruan Hongzhuang replied almost instantly, "What happened to your phone? Did you drop it?"

"Go check today’s news headlines."

After replying, Shen Siyuan opened Hong Wenqing’s chat window.

Indeed, like a brother, the first thing he did after knowing about the incident in Shen Siyuan’s area was to ask how Shen Siyuan was doing.

So, Shen Siyuan reported that he was safe and sound.

Hong Wenqing did not reply immediately; it is unknown whether he was still asleep.

Then he opened the chat window with Huang Lancai. Lady Huang, reliably, had already found information about Duoduo’s parents just in one afternoon.

The news from Huang Lancai was mixed. The good news was that Duoduo’s parents were still alive, but had long moved away and were no longer in Bin Hai.

It turned out Duoduo’s father, Lin Jianming, was from Xiajing originally. He had been in the military, seen battlefield action, and after his service, had been assigned to the grassroots level in Bin Hai City as a public official with not a low level of position.

In the early 1980s, public security was poor, compounded by lax gun control allowing numerous bandits to flourish, leading eventually to the crackdown campaign. Bin Hai, being a coastal city, had particularly chaotic security.

Back then, police truly fought armed criminals with guns and knives, and Lin Jianming was no exception. He personally killed several bandits, including killing a bandit’s younger brother during an arrest operation while the older brother managed to escape.

This led to the older brother seeking revenge, and it resulted in Duoduo being kidnapped.

Although the police soon tracked down the older brother’s whereabouts, due to some unknown reasons, the information was leaked, allowing the criminal to flee overseas. Since then, the whereabouts of Duoduo became a mystery.

This incident had a severe impact and angered higher authorities, leading to a three-year rigorous crackdown in Qionghai.

This crackdown, however, was not led by Lin Jianming as he chose to resign after this incident.

Later, he established a police equipment company, engaged in the development, production, and sales of police gear, security devices, bank escort equipment, traffic management tools, and personal defense gear.

The company grew significantly large, not limited to domestic sales but also entering international markets such as the United States, Japan, UK, Germany, France, Korea, and Canada.

It’s not surprising, those in this industry usually have some connections, and with the products meant for internal supply, the company grew easily.

But being able to sell abroad, that was truly based on merit.

However, Duoduo’s parents have now retired, with the company being taken over by his brother.

Lady Huang’s investigation was very thorough, providing not only their current home address but also telephone contact information.

Shen Siyuan hesitated whether to call Duoduo’s parents and ask them to come to Bin Hai City or to accompany Duoduo on a trip to Xiajing. After all, so many years had passed, who knows if they might have already forgotten about Duoduo.

Shen Siyuan hesitated again and again but finally decided to accompany Duoduo to Xiajing.

Traveling from Bin Hai to Xiajing was easy since Bin Hai, being a tourist city, had well-connected flights all over the country, not to mention Xiajing. They could fly there in the morning and return in the afternoon.

After making up his mind, Shen Siyuan thanked Huang Lancai and returned to the chat interface with Ruan Hongzhuang.

"How are you doing? Did you get hurt?"

"Do you need me to accompany you to the hospital for a check-up?"

"Where is your company located, do you want me to drive over and pick you up?"

...

By now, Ruan Hongzhuang had already read the news, and sent several messages expressing her concern, warming Shen Siyuan’s heart.

"It’s fine, I’m in good shape now, no problems at all, don’t worry."

"Really, are you sure?"

"Of course, I’m sure. Haven’t you seen the news? There are others in the neighborhood who went to the hospital for a check-up, and nothing was wrong. The magnetic storm didn’t affect people."

"Hmm, that’s good. Give me your company’s address, I’ll come pick you up after work today," said Ruan Hongzhuang.

"No problem."

As the two were deeply in love, Shen Siyuan naturally did not refuse and gave his company’s address to Ruan Hongzhuang.

Actually, Ruan Hongzhuang could have gotten Shen Siyuan’s address from Jiang Taoshi without asking him.

They chatted for a while and then went back to focusing on their own work.

Monday was the only workday in Shen Siyuan’s week, so he was very busy today.

Firstly, he had to prepare last week’s data report and analysis.

Then, he needed to organize the game event plan for next week, coordinate with the art and programming team, ensure the event was implemented, and finally, conduct a good test on the internal service to ensure no bugs existed after going live.

During this period, Zhou Zhengdao and Ding Youguang sent caring messages through corporate WeChat, asking if he was fine. Even Li Qunfang sent a message, which surprised Shen Siyuan.

"Come out for a sec, come to the front desk."

While busy working, Shen Siyuan suddenly received a message from Jiang Wenxin, surprisingly, not knowing what she wanted, but still, he put down his work for a moment and went to the company’s front desk.

He saw her holding an unopened new phone, handing it to Shen Siyuan.

"This was sent here by Dou Dou’s dad, take it and use it."

Shen Siyuan: ...

"This..."

Shen Siyuan didn’t know what to say; Tao Guangsha was really good at maintaining relationships, his business must be doing well.

"Don’t refuse it, Dou Dou will still need your help often." Seeing Shen Siyuan’s hesitation, Jiang Wenxin directly stuffed the phone into Shen Siyuan’s hands.

Thinking that since he had accepted the favor of home repairs from the other party, a phone wasn’t too much to accept either, so he took it.

"Brother Tao is really thoughtful. What’s his WeChat? Send it to me later, I’ll add him and thank him personally."

"That would be great, he’d be very happy," said Jiang Wenxin with a brilliant smile on her face.

Thus far, Shen Siyuan used to call Tao Guangsha either Mr. Tao or Dou Dou’s dad, now calling him Brother Tao and even proactively adding him on WeChat showed that their relationship had progressed further; naturally, she was pleased.

"Back to work then."

Holding the phone, Shen Siyuan walked back, the accounting department was in one direction, and naturally, Jiang Wenxin followed behind.

Just then, Zhou Chuan who was on a paid break from using the restroom just came out.

He immediately saw the new phone in Shen Siyuan’s hand and Jiang Wenxin behind him.

It seemed this situation was not going to be easy to explain.
