On this side, Lou Luhui first drove the car to the fourth sister's teacher's house.
After leaving the little girl behind, he said, "Don't run around until you get my notice, okay?"
Tian Xue waved her hand: "I know!"
The little girl was very smart. She had told Lou Luhui everything she needed to tell on the way here, so he didn't linger any longer. He stepped on the accelerator and drove out again.
When Wan Jiayu heard the noise and opened the door, he only saw the back of the car driving away.
But none of that mattered. He looked at the girl in front of him, smiling like a flower: "Why are you here?"
Tian Xue walked towards the yard and said, "Come and stay at your house for a few days."
"real?"
"Really! If you're too embarrassed to come to my house, I'll come find you!"
"Pfft, I don't believe it. You must be kidding me again."
"Then will you give me some comfort?"
"Give it to me, give it to you, aunt. How dare I not give it to you?"
“.”
In fact, Lou Luhui didn't ask Tian Xue to do anything.
Bringing her out was just to be on the safe side. The little girl is smart. Although she is young, she is quite shrewd.
If something happened, her being alone in a place might really help the enemy by surprise.
Of course, at this moment Lou Luhui had no idea that his arrangement had actually helped the little girl to accomplish a great feat.
However, these are all later stories, so we will not discuss them for now.
After leaving his fourth sister-in-law behind, Lou Luhui went directly to the county government and found the old squad leader Wan Tao.
One was to ask him whether he had found out Liu Xiangdong's purpose of coming to the county town after a night.
Another option is to park the car at the county government building; there is no safer place than here.
However, he didn't expect that as soon as he saw the person, before he could open his mouth, the other party spoke first.
Wan Tao motioned for his comrades to sit down and made tea while saying, "Old Lou, there is a big case against Liu Xiangdong."
Hearing this, Lou Luhui frowned and looked at him: "Big case?"
Wan Tao said seriously, "Yes, I made a few phone calls after you left last night."
Next, Wan Tao recounted the incidents of missing persons in the county and surrounding counties over the past two years, and his speculation that this might be related to Liu Xiangdong.
".This is a big deal. I have been keeping an eye on it, but the person behind it has a complete system. He always escapes at the critical moment. I have caught a few, but they were all unable to reach the upper level and could not explain anything. Fortunately, hard work pays off, and I have finally locked on the suspect recently!"
At this point, Wan Tao's face was filled with sarcasm again. He handed a cup of brewed tea to his comrade, sat opposite him and continued: "According to common sense, this person should be in Shanghai, but now he is in our county. This is the opportunity he gave us. Speaking of this, we have to thank Xiaoxue. If she hadn't happened to go to a remote place like the scrap yard, maybe he would have escaped again this time."
Lou Luhui didn't expect that Liu Xiangdong was involved in such a case. He was just taking precautions out of habit.
Now it seems that it is better to be cautious.
Thinking of this, he lowered his eyes and blew away the floating tea leaves. He took a sip of the tea and found it was a little hot, so he just held it in his hand and smiled lightly, "It's really a good thing. You have to thank my fourth sister and give me a reward or something."
Hearing this, Wan Tao almost spit out the tea in his mouth.
He put down the teacup and looked at his comrade-in-arms with a hard-to-speak expression: "You've really changed since you got married. I don't know what to say."
Of course, even though you may complain, you are still happy for your friends in your heart, and a happy marriage is also a blessing.
Wan Tao sighed for a few words before adding, "That's a good thing. Now, as long as we catch the counterfeit goods that have gone to Shanghai, we can immediately bring Liu Xiangdong back for a thorough interrogation."
"Send someone to arrest him now? Or contact the police in Shanghai?"
Wan Tao waved his hand: "No need. Although he was listed as a key suspect by the police a few days ago, we already had someone following him on this business trip. I didn't expect that after all the effort, we ended up following a fake."
At this point, Wan Tao was a little confused again: "How could Liu Xiangdong hide under the noses of the county police for two years before being locked down? Knowing that he couldn't show up now, how could he be so careless to be seen by Xiaoxue? No matter how remote the scrap yard is, it's not uninhabited, unless..."
"Unless something happened yesterday that forced him to be too anxious to disguise himself." Lou Luhui took over the old squad leader's unfinished words.
"Yes, I am a little curious about what kind of thing could make him lose his reason and vigilance."
"Once we arrest the man, we can ask the police to interrogate him and we'll know the answer."
Hearing this, Wan Tao let out a breath of foul air: "You are right. As long as the fake guy in Shanghai is under control, we can immediately take action to arrest Liu Xiangdong. I don't believe that with such a good opportunity, the police still can't find out anything useful. By the way, you asked us to check why he came to the county yesterday. We haven't found out yet, but the strange thing is that his people went to the city after they dispersed. I just received a call from the Public Security Bureau. They said that Liu Xiangdong himself is still in the county, but more than a dozen of his followers have all gone to the vicinity of the city bus station. We reasonably suspect that he wants to escape."
Of course, escape was impossible, considering how much time, manpower and resources they had spent catching these villains.
This was also Lou Luhui’s first reaction.
But not long after the idea came to his mind, he remembered something else.
City bus station
Lao Chen and the others will arrive at the city bus station tomorrow, right
What if we happen to run into a gunfight between the police and the other side
Thinking of this, Lou Lu returned to his old squad leader's place and called Lao Chen's comrade-in-arms Pan Yue.
According to the distance traveled, Lao Chen should be arriving in Shanghai soon.
He seldom comes back in these years, and given their friendship, Pan Yue will definitely go to pick him up in person, so it is reasonable for him to ask him to help convey his concerns.
After contacting the person and confirming that he would indeed go to pick up Lao Chen and convey his words, Lou Luhui, who was worried, prepared to go home.
He looked at the man next to him and said, "Old squad leader, find me a bicycle. I have to go back."
Wan Tao was speechless. This was really a case of throwing it away after use: "Want to sit here again?"
Lou Luhui shook his head: "My wife and children are at home, I am worried."
"I say, are you thinking too much? Would Liu Xiangdong cause trouble for your family for such a small matter before?" Having said that, he still stood up and called the secretary outside the door, asking him to drive his car over.
It takes nearly two hours to ride a bicycle back from the county town, which is too time-consuming. I might get caught in the rain on the way. It’s better to ask my secretary to take me there.
Lou Luhui patted the old squad leader on the shoulder and didn't say any polite words to thank him for sending him home. There was no need for that between them brothers.
However, he did not explain in detail whether he was overthinking it.
Only he and his wife knew that what happened between them and Liu Xiangdong was more than just a small matter.
There is no impenetrable wall in the world, especially since Liu Xiangdong has gone astray. If the connections behind him are deep and wide enough, they might be able to find out the whereabouts of the gold clearly.
By that time, it will be a huge hatred.
It has to be said that smart people often think three steps ahead. Although Lou Luhui didn't guess it completely, he was almost right.
The weather is nice.
Lou Lu returned home. About twenty minutes later, which was enough time for the secretary to drive out of the muddy Chaoyang Village, it started to rain.
At first the rain was not heavy, but after a while, it started to get heavier.
The two sisters of the Tian family and a little boy named Xiangyang are busy preparing lunch in the kitchen.
Seeing the raindrops falling harder and harder, Tian Mi urged his younger brother to take an umbrella to pick up Wang Linkun.
After the prospective son-in-law arrived, he was very diligent. Not only did he chop wood and fetch water every day, he also went to the fields to work with Comrade Tian Hongxing. On the contrary, Lou Luhui, the honest son-in-law, often felt inferior.
For example, at this moment, because it was seen that it was going to rain today, Wang Linkun volunteered to take a shovel and go to the field, and follow other villagers in the village to dig a drainage gap.
I thought the rain wouldn't come so soon, so I didn't bring an umbrella when I went out.
This time, he was probably completely soaked.
"Or should I go?" Just as Xiangyang put on his rain boots and prepared to leave, a stumbling, soft female voice came from behind him.
If it weren't for his sharp ears, he would have almost missed the increasingly loud sound of rain outside.
Xiangyang looked at the third sister, thinking that she was reluctant to leave him, and said with a smile: "No need, third sister, I have grown up and am almost taller than you, I can go."
Hearing this, the little girl's courage, which she had finally mustered, instantly shrank like a deflated balloon. Tian Xin lowered her head uncomfortably, hiding her red cheeks that were either caused by embarrassment or shame, and stammered, "Oh, okay."
"Let your third sister go!" Tian Mi was anxiously watching from behind.
It would have been fine if my third sister hadn’t figured it out before, but now this self-deprecating girl has been secretly planning for who knows how long before she finally mustered up the courage to do it. I can’t let my little brother ruin her plan.
"Ah? Isn't this bad?" Xiangyang was stunned. Third sister is so timid. It's raining heavily outside. If she falls down, she won't cry, right
If the fourth girl was here at this moment, she would have definitely made clear arrangements for everyone.
No, more guidance will be needed in the future.
Thinking of this, Tian Mi took the two umbrellas from his younger brother and handed them to his younger sister, and then instructed the confused Xiangyang to take off his rain boots.
Then he swiftly picked up the equally confused Third Sister, and pushed her out, smiling and encouraging her: "Xinxin, do what you want, don't be afraid!"
After hearing this, Tian Xin immediately realized that her second sister had seen through her thoughts. In an instant, her cheeks, which had just cooled down a little, became even hotter.
It was so hot that she thought she was about to burn.
However, she had already used up all her courage. Tian Xin tried to struggle, her eyes reddened with anxiety: "Second sister, I..."
"Oh! What do you mean by "I" and "sister"? Hurry up. He's just a man." Tian Mi was afraid that if she continued to hesitate, Wang Linkun would come back.
By that time, given Third Sister's personality, it might take three months before she can muster up the courage again.
It’s not that she thinks there’s anything wrong with asking Wang Linkun to pursue her for another three months, but she knows Xinxin’s character too well. During these three months, as long as things are not settled, she will be so entangled that she will kill herself!
Thinking of this, she gave another push from behind and sent the person out: "Go! Remember what my second sister said."
The last part of the sentence, "Isn't he just a man?", was swallowed back when she saw her husband running towards her.
Tian Xin, who was forced to do something, held an umbrella and hugged another umbrella, and staggered out of the door in panic.
But when the little girl disappeared in the rain and fog, Tian Mi looked at her husband with some worry: "Xinxin went to bring an umbrella to Wang Linkun. I'm a little worried. How about you follow behind and watch her? Wait until she meets up with Wang Linkun and then come back quietly?"
"No need, the guy just came back." Lou Luhui took the kitchen knife from his wife and started cutting vegetables.
Tian Mi blinked, not understanding what her husband meant for a moment. Just as she was about to ask when, she suddenly realized.
Well, this guy Wang Linkun is too cunning. He must have heard what I or my third sister said, and knew that Xinxin was going to pick him up, so he went back and waited.
I really don't know what to say.
The facts were indeed as Tian Mi expected.
When Wang Linkun came back holding the umbrella given by the villager, he happened to hear Xinxin coming to bring him an umbrella.
I was so happy that I didn't know what to do. Maybe it was an instinct engraved in my body.
His first reaction was to fold his umbrella and hide it in the gap of the chicken coop next to him. Then he turned around and walked away quickly while getting wet in the rain, picking up the shovel.
After walking about thirty or forty meters, Wang Linkun stopped smiling and came back to his senses from his excitement.
Afterwards he realized it and laughed at his own lack of calmness, but he couldn't help but look in the direction of the Tian family expectantly, longing for that figure to appear.
As long as she shows a shadow, everything will be handed over to him!
Wang Linkun thought that based on the girl's personality, he would have to wait for a long time.
The fact was, he only stood in the heavy rain for a minute or two before he saw the shadowy figure hidden behind the rain.
is her!
Even if the two people are dozens of meters apart.
Even though the increasingly heavy rain obstructed his vision, he recognized it at a glance.
At this moment, watching her holding an umbrella and slowly walking towards him, Wang Linkun was sure that he heard the sound of flowers blooming.
Then, without wasting a second, the man smiled, ignored the heavy rain that was pouring down on him, and rushed towards his girl.
Hearing the noise, Tian Xin lifted the umbrella curtain, only to find that the person she was supposed to pick up was rushing towards her quickly.
Tian Xin, who had not yet prepared herself mentally, was unable to come to her senses until the man came up to her, hid under her umbrella, and was so close to her that she could almost touch his breath.
Strictly speaking, the little girl was almost stiff.
The little bit of rationality she had left made her try hard to search for the various opening remarks she had prepared in her mind.
But, when the critical moment comes, it is of no use at all.
Because she couldn't remember a word.
The little girl, who was almost stiff as a stone, was now thinking of two words:
So close!
“Xinxin!” Wang Linkun raised his hand and grasped the girl’s hand, which was trembling with nervousness. Only after he had wrapped the soft coolness in his palm did he shout with satisfaction, “Xinxin!”
"Ah?" Tian Xin finally came back to her senses. After feeling someone holding her hand, although she did not become petrified again, her little face could not help but blush again.
She was born lovable, and now she was so nervous that her eyes were misty and her cheeks and nose were flushed, which made her even more attractive.
Especially when she looked up at him unconsciously, Wang Linkun, who claimed to be a gentleman, almost couldn't help but wanted to do something to bully her.
Then, in this regard, he was essentially a very simple man, and his ears slowly turned red with shame at his own thoughts. He coughed lightly, and looked at her, breaking the ambiguity between them: "Xinxin, shall we be together?"
Hearing this, Tian Xin's eyes slowly widened. She didn't expect things to develop so quickly.
How did you become a couple
But. Can't we get along
She did feel differently about this person.
Her second sister's words woke her up. If she hadn't had any feelings for Wang Linkun, she wouldn't have been so troubled.
In order to help her distinguish between what she likes and what she dislikes, the second sister even compared her with the annoying doctor Lin Jinyuan in their health center.
I asked her if she would hesitate to the point of tossing and turning and unable to sleep if Lin Jinyuan stared at her like this.
There is no need to think about this.
of course not!
After this incident, Tian Xin realized that she actually had feelings for Wang Linkun, but she just didn't dare to think about it before.
Now, she had prepared herself mentally and just had to muster up the courage to give him an umbrella.
So, how did we end up being a couple all of a sudden
But it seems to be pretty good this way, just getting together directly. Wouldn't you be less cautious and worried about gains and losses
Thinking of this, the girl, who felt that her motives for dating were not pure, looked up at the other person guiltily.
But she found that he was looking at her with gentle eyes, just like before.
Maybe the man’s eyes were too warm.
Maybe he was emboldened by what his fourth sister said yesterday.
Or maybe it was her own selfishness.
Tian Xin stood in the rain, looking at the man standing very close to her under the same umbrella, and finally tried to raise a shy smile: "Okay."
Hearing this, Wang Linkun subconsciously tightened his grip on the girl's hand, as if he had not expected such an answer. He bent down slightly and stared at her closely: "Are you serious? Are you really going out with me?"
Too. Too close.
Tian Xin looked away embarrassedly, but said seriously: "Yes, we are dating!"
After getting the answer he wanted from this timid little white rabbit again, Wang Linkun was so excited that he wanted to reach out and hug her in his arms, and even wanted to bend down and kiss her trembling long eyelashes.
However, he forced all these thoughts to be suppressed before taking several actions.
no!
His little girl is too timid.
It has to be done slowly.
However, even though she was so close to me, she still behaved so well.
Even Wang Linkun couldn't help but feel a little bit of a man's bad nature.
So the smile in his eyes spread out, and he said gently: "Wait. I'll go to the village committee and call my parents to tell them, okay? If you're dating, you have to report it to your family, right?"
Tian Xin thought for a few seconds and nodded: "Okay!"
Just as Wang Linkun's heart was oozing with honey and he was about to say something with a smile on his face, he heard Little White Rabbit add one more sentence honestly: "It's raining heavily now, the village will probably have a power outage, and you won't be able to make calls for the time being."
Wang Linkun's eyelids twitched. What was going on? Was he feeling like he had so many ideas but couldn't do anything about them again
The man, who was in high spirits, was a little bit unconvinced. He took the umbrella from his little girl, still holding it with her, and carried her towards the Tian family.
He tilted most of the umbrella toward the girl, making sure she wasn't wet before continuing: "If my parents knew we were dating, they would be very happy. They've always wanted you to be their daughter-in-law."
Hearing this, Tian Xin was somewhat happy, but also somewhat embarrassed. She quickly glanced at the other party, blushing, and honestly stated her position: "My sisters told me to consider marriage after I turn 20."
When she came out just now, her second sister reminded her.
The sisters are all doing this for her own good!
Wang Linkun. Although he had absolutely no intention of urging her to get married, he just wanted to tease the girl and simply liked her shy look.
But. Consider it after you are 20 years old
How long will this consideration take
Which sister said that
The one who says that a smiling man has a lot of ulterior motives
Hmm? It seems like both sisters said that
So annoying!
