Dream Dance Gracefully - Chapter 81 - Endings, Returning to Normalcy
Everything has come to an end, or rather, a pause.
Chen Tianyou explained quite a bit to the police, and finally managed to clear things up. He Tao and the others understood the situation and didn’t say much more.
Afterward, Xu Meng stayed by Zhang Wan’er’s side, taking care of her, while Chen Tianqi was filled with deep guilt, unsure of how to face everything.
Life continued as usual, just missing one person. The next day, after Zhang Wan’er woke up, she was nowhere to be found. No one knew where she had gone, but she left behind a note.
“Tianqi, don’t come looking for me. When it’s time for me to come back, I will naturally return. Everyone, don’t worry.” …
“Boss, the matter has been handled. Here’s the document.” Tiger didn’t go to their boss, Zeng Liang, right away. Instead, he waited until the next day to approach Zeng Liang, being cautious.
After saying this, he handed over the document bag.
Zeng Liang took a glance, his expression indifferent. He opened the bag, and upon seeing its contents, he casually tossed it aside, his face showing anger.
“Fine, you can go now. Leave me alone for a while. Have my assistant come to my office in fifteen minutes.”
After saying that, Zeng Liang slumped back in his chair. He knew he was done for… Tiger understood what had happened too; he didn’t say much and turned to leave.
The contents of that document bag were fake!
Just the day before, Chen Tianyou had handed over a fake document bag to Chen Tianqi. They couldn’t be sure who had kidnapped Zhang Wan’er, but they were certain that those behind it wouldn’t show themselves.
With that plan, they successfully deceived Tiger, or more accurately, they deceived Zeng Liang, as Tiger was unaware of the company’s dealings.
Everything was over…
Just as justice will eventually triumph over evil…
First, let’s bring down a company…
Thus, Chen Tianyou and the others submitted the document and made it public…
On the third day, Zeng Liang’s company shut down…
Those who needed to leave did so; those who needed to escape fled. This is the reality-people only connect through mutual interests…
Looking over at Chen Tianqi.
There wasn’t much joy among the group.
Chen Tianqi and Chen Tianyou stood in front of their mother’s grave, tears shimmering in their eyes…
“Mom, my brother has grown up, though he’s still immature. Don’t worry… Dad and I are doing well…”
“Mom, I will be okay too. You can rest easy. The college entrance examination is in three days, and I will do my best…”
Chen Hui stood behind the two of them, unsure of what to say… It seemed there was nothing to say, really. Seeing both of his sons grow up was more comforting than anything else.
With no one else around, there were just the three of them in the spacious area, and no one would come to disturb their family reunion…
After a while, Chen Tianyou left, knowing that there were many matters to handle at the company…
Chen Tianqi wanted to stay a little longer but was urged to leave by Chen Hui. “You should go back now. Go see Yiyi at Uncle Lin’s place. Let your mother and me have some time alone.”
Chen Tianqi left silently, leaving Chen Hui to gaze forlornly at his father’s retreating figure. He realized that his father was growing old…
With this part of the matter wrapped up, it was like a drop of water rolling into the ocean-silent and unnoticed. During these three days, Xu’s Company had calmed down significantly…
Xu Hao was worried, fearing that his company might also collapse. More importantly, he was concerned he might end up like Zeng Liang…
The day before the college entrance examination, everyone was tense…
Students were anxious about how they might perform… Parents were equally tense, worried about their children’s potential failures…
Similarly, perhaps due to the tense atmosphere, the mood within Xu’s Company was also quite strained. Many had noted the fall of Zeng Liang’s company, his arrest, and the downfall of the Zeng Family…
Some even speculated that Xu Hao had some sort of agreement with Zeng Liang to avoid being implicated, leading many to leave…
With a loud crash, a vase shattered on the floor…
“Get out of here! Xu Xiaobo, you too, get out! I don’t need any comfort! Just leave!” Xu Hao shouted in the office.
Xu Xiaobo chuckled quietly as he left, while also trying to reassure the remaining employees. After all, if he wanted to take over the company, he still needed people; otherwise, what would he do all alone?
Of course, it must be said that Xu Xiaobo had some skill; many people had been swayed by him, allowing him to temporarily hold onto some support.
At home, Xu Feng had heard about the recent events, a hint of joy on his face. He felt genuinely happy for his old friend.
Meanwhile, Xu Meng was busily reviewing her materials, preparing for the college entrance examination.
Chen Tianyou was diligently handling matters at the company, while Yang Xue was also working hard nearby.
In the past few days, Li Shaofei had finally managed to persuade his father, Li Hai, to turn himself in. Li Hai received a five-year prison sentence…
He Tao was also preparing for the college entrance examination, putting in considerable effort…
Everyone was working diligently, albeit in different directions. It was like each person walking their own path with distinct goals… But in the end, all roads lead to one’s dreams.
Li Hai’s decision to turn himself in sparked quite a reaction. First, Xu Hao came under suspicion, and then a hidden audio recording was discovered on the company’s computer. This recording was eventually found by He Tao…
After He Tao realized the implications of the recording, he gathered everyone together to discuss the situation and decided to hand this matter over to Xu Xiaobo, asking him to expose the truth.
The audio contained a conversation about a deal made between Zeng Liang and Xu Hao. Zeng Liang hadn’t implicated Xu Hao during his time in prison, not because he didn’t want to, but because revealing the details would require further investigation and time to reach a conclusion…
So, two days passed like this…
Then, with a loud bang,
The door to Xu Hao’s office was burst open, and several uniformed officers walked in.
Seeing this, Xu Hao realized… he was being arrested.
He didn’t resist; he understood that resistance would be futile, especially since the investigation was being conducted by provincial authorities due to the serious nature of the situation. The municipal police had no jurisdiction here and couldn’t help him.
Moreover, for certain reasons, the municipal police had failed to report the case upward, which led provincial authorities to conduct a thorough investigation.
Ultimately, the chief of the municipal police was dismissed and imprisoned for bribery.
At Xu’s Company, Xu Xiaobo found himself in the top position, contemplating what he should take home to his father the next day.
Meanwhile, He Tao, Li Shaofei, and others were busy thinking about how to prepare for the exam.
Xu Meng was daydreaming about where Zhang Wan’er was and when she would return.
Lin Yiyi lay in bed, wondering if anyone had ever asked her if she regretted anything.
Chen Tianqi was earnestly reviewing his notes, determined not to let go this time…
Everyone was looking forward to the beautiful day ahead…
But who could predict what tomorrow would bring?
Is everything perfect?
Is everything truly as it seems?
No, this is reality!
Believe in reality… Don’t keep desperately wishing for dreams to come true.
Don’t sit alone thinking… “I am the protagonist!”
In fact, everyone is the protagonist of their own story.
Work hard, strive onward.
No, just be happy!
Life is only a few days long.
Once it’s passed, it can’t be regained!
Seize the present! Don’t bet everything on the uncertain tomorrow!
