“Bao Yu, back alone?”
Zhong Yue Min put his arm around Sha Bao Yu, showing their close relationship.
“Brother Yue Min, just say what’s on your mind.”
“I saw the girl who got off the train with you. She kept looking back, her eyes practically sparkling.”
Being a former detective, his observation skills were truly impressive.
Sha Bao Yu chuckled bitterly.
“Brother, what are you thinking? We just had a casual conversation on the way.”
“Bao Yu, what girl could resist your natural charm?”
Zhou Xiao Bai, who was driving, glanced at Zhong Yue Min and said pointedly.
“Bao Yu, your brother’s charm isn’t bad either.”
Seeing his wife’s jealous outburst, Zhong Yue Min instantly put on a pained expression.
“Brother, prepare to kneel on durian back home.”
With Sha Bao Yu’s playful words, the car erupted in laughter.
The jeep sped along, passing Chengtian Gate before turning into an alleyway.
“Bao Yu, I’ll come pick you up tonight.”
“Brother Yue Min, no need. I’ll go to the Yanjing Club myself tonight.”
“Alright, off you go.”
Watching the jeep drive away, Sha Bao Yu walked into the alley.
Pushing open a wooden door, he saw an elderly man lying on a rattan chair under a locust tree.
Sha Zhen Jiang, an old veteran who had served alongside the former leader, given the name Xiao Ruijin, lived in this inconspicuous alley.
Sha Bao Yu shook his head at the guard standing nearby and walked straight towards him.
Looking at his increasingly frail grandfather, Sha Bao Yu gently repositioned the blanket over him.
Then, like his grandfather used to do for him when he was young, he quietly sat beside him, enjoying this rare moment of family time.
“Bao Yu is back.”
Sha Zhen Jiang’s voice was gravelly, his throat injured by a bullet while protecting the former leader.
However, to Sha Bao Yu, it sounded incredibly familiar and comforting.
“Grandpa, it’s still early. Do you want to sleep a little more?”
“Old age, not much sleep left. A short nap is enough.”
“Bao Yu, help me go inside. Xiao Sun, you go about your business.”
Seeing his grandfather dismiss the guard, Sha Bao Yu immediately understood that there was confidential matters to discuss, and stood up to help the old man into the house.
“Bao Yu, do you know why I called you back this time?”
“Grandpa, it’s definitely because of my money-making business.”
Sha Zhen Jiang shook his head slightly.
“As long as you don’t violate the laws of the country, earning money through your own abilities is nothing to be ashamed of.”
“Grandpa just wants to ask you, how much did you participate in the 92 Pound Sterling Sniper War?”
Facing his grandfather, Sha Bao Yu had nothing to hide.
“I participated throughout. I took advantage of the chaos between them and made a move. I made a total of 300 million USD.”
“You can even make money off foreigners, you really are my grandson, Sha Zhen Jiang, full of guts.
Unlike some people, they rely on their parents’ authority to swindle their own people.”
Sha Zhen Jiang looked at his beloved grandson with unconcealed pride and satisfaction.
“Grandpa, don’t praise me. You also have a lot of credit.”
“An old man like me, what do I know? How can I have any credit?”
“I learned from Grandpa’s military tactics, seize the opportunity, strike decisively, never hesitate and give your opponent a chance to counterattack.”
“You, you! Just trying to make your grandpa happy.”
Sha Zhen Jiang hadn’t been this happy in a long time. His grandson’s teasing made him feel a surge of energy.
“Since you participated throughout, that’s good. Come with me to Xi Yuan in a few days, Old Secretary Zheng wants to see you.”
Sha Zhen Jiang’s sudden words startled Sha Bao Yu.
Old Secretary Zheng and Sha Zhen Jiang were close friends, naturally treating Sha Bao Yu as their own nephew, but this was always kept private.
Xi Yuan was the political center of Dragon Nation, where the Elders handled national affairs.
The fact that the Old Secretary was meeting Sha Bao Yu there meant it must be related to national affairs.
“Grandpa, what’s going on? You’re keeping me in the dark, I’m scared.”
“You’re fearless, why would you be afraid of your Zheng grandpa?
Don’t worry, this time it’s because your Zheng grandpa has something to ask you.”
“Something about the Pound Sterling Sniper War?”
Sha Bao Yu was clever and quickly thought of the only possibility.
“That’s right.”
After the 92 Pound Sterling Sniper War, the world was in shock.
The Dragon Nation government experienced the power of financial warfare for the first time, seeing one person single-handedly bring down a nation’s financial system.
So when Sha Zhen Jiang hinted that Sha Bao Yu was involved, the Dragon Nation government took it very seriously and wanted to hear him personally explain the process.
Sha Bao Yu felt a surge of anxiety, because this time, it wasn’t just Old Secretary Zheng listening to his explanation, but all seven Elders of Dragon Nation.
