Chapter 709 Reunion Of Father And Son
- The following morning, Chen Ce boarded a plane to the provincial capital. In addition to Dianhu and the Eight Tigers, Tong Ke also accompanied him. Initially, Chen Ce had planned to bring Song Yanran and Song Qingqing to Mr. Liu's birthday celebration. However, upon learning that Chen Xiong would be present, he had a change of heart. Chen Ce did not want his family to be caught in the crossfire of his unresolved issues with his biological father. Furthermore, Song Yanran's busy work schedule prevented her from joining him in the provincial capital. On the contrary, Tong Ke, who had been on vacation for the past two days, insisted on accompanying him upon hearing about his trip. Chen Ce reluctantly agreed to let her come along.
- Located in the outskirts of the provincial capital was an unassuming old farmhouse, which turned out to be the ancestral home of Jiangnan Commander Liu Zhenping. Liu Zhenping's father, Liu Xian, a retired high school principal, resided in this old house. He spent his days tending to flowers and fish, engaging in painting and writing, and enjoying his collections, living the life of a cultured hermit.
- However, on this particular day, the tranquility of Mr. Liu's life was disrupted. The farmhouse was adorned with lanterns and streamers, and various vehicles were parked outside, as numerous well-wishers arrived to celebrate his birthday. Liu Zhenping, dressed casually, greeted relatives and friends alongside Mr. Liu. Absent were any government officials or Liu Zhenping's subordinates, as he had made it clear that his father's birthday banquet was strictly for family and friends, excluding colleagues from the system.
