Xu Weiguo was stumped by his question and asked curiously, "Didn't you go to the wedding banquet when Xu Jingui got married? That's Xu Jingui's current wife."

Before Fang Hui could react, someone behind them suddenly asked, "What are you doing here?"

Xu Weiguo and Fang Hui didn't recognize the voice at first, and they were both startled, even ready to fight.

When he turned around, he found it was Fang Huai.

Fang Hui leaned against the wall, still shaken, and said, "You almost scared me to death! What brought you here all of a sudden?"

Fang Hui looked at the two of them, a row of black lines appearing on his forehead: "Big brother, you asked me to help investigate Chen Ermei today, have you forgotten?"

"But brother, why are you and Deputy Director Xu here?"

Fang Hui briefly explained the situation to him, then asked, "What did you gain from following Chen Ermei today?"

Fang Huai did not answer Fang Hui's question. Instead, he asked seriously, "Brother, you just said that there are a few trees outside the alley where you met them, and the location is nearby, is that right?"

"Yeah... what's wrong?"

Fang Huai still didn't answer, but said, "Brother, Deputy Director Xu, please come with me."

Xu Weiguo glanced at Fang Hui and saw that he also looked bewildered, but thinking that Fang Huai wouldn't harm them, he followed him.

After walking for a short while, Fang Huai led them into a dead end.

Fang Hui advised, "Ah Huai, we've been here several times already. This is a dead end, we can't get in."

Fang Huai glanced at them but didn't say anything. Instead, he walked straight to the end and forcefully pressed one of the bricks into the ground.

Then they saw the wall in front of them start to rotate, and what was originally a dead end became a path.

Fang Huai explained, "I just followed Chen Ermei; she went in from this very spot."

“I’ve observed it. Once this switch is turned on, it can maintain the effect for about ten minutes. I guess you happened to be there around that time.”

After walking through, Xu Weiguo felt that this place was no different from the alley they had just passed. Soon, they saw the tree that Fang Hui had mentioned.

"Yes, yes, this is it. Xu Jingui entered this alley back then."

Looking at these familiar trees, Fang Hui immediately recalled the scene from back then.

Fang Huai felt even more distressed, because the alley Fang Hui was pointing to was the very place where Chen Ermei had just gone in.

Therefore, Zhang Jianhong is very likely also involved in this matter. However, Fang Huai felt that Zhang Jianhong would not harm anyone, and he had a strange trust in him.

He had been hesitant, unsure whether to go find Zhang Jianhong. But now, he was absolutely determined to go.

If Zhang Jianhong was only involved in the black market, that would be for the best. But if he really had blood on his hands, Fang Huai wouldn't turn a blind eye.

After making up his mind, Fang Huai called Xu Weiguo and Fang Hui aside: "I just saw Chen Ermei making a deal with people in the black market. I plan to go in now."

Upon hearing this, Fang Hui immediately objected: "No! That's too dangerous!"

"Brother, please listen to me first."

Fang Huai pulled him back, signaling him to calm down first: "I know the person who traded with Chen Ermei. He used to be my comrade-in-arms."

“I didn’t originally intend to take any risks, but now that you’re all here, if I’m not out in an hour, you should go back and find someone to rescue me.”

"But I'm sure he won't do anything to me, brother, you can trust me."

Fang Hui still felt it wasn't right: "You said it yourself, he used to be your comrade-in-arms, but that's all in the past. How can you be sure he hasn't changed?"

"Besides, he's already involved in the black market, how could he be a good person?"

Seeing that he still disagreed, Fang Huai asked bluntly, "Then does Brother have a better way? This is their base. Besides going in directly, are there any other ways to get in?"

Fang Hui: ......

Seeing Fang Hui's silent face, Fang Huai continued to poke at his heart: "No, right? Besides, Zhang Jianhong and I at least have a bond of camaraderie, which is more reliable than what you guys have."

The logic is sound, but Fang Hui still felt it was too risky.

In Fang Hui's mind, cooperating with Xu Weiguo was partly due to his dislike of Xu Weimin, but more importantly, it was because they needed Xu Weiguo's help.

However, Song Yongjun wasn't very important to him. He only asked Xu Weiguo for help because of Fang Huai.

All of this stemmed from Fang Hui caring about Fang Huai's feelings and wanting to help him. Therefore, in Fang Hui's heart, he was unwilling for Fang Huai to take any risks.

But Fang Huai is not an option.

Fang Huai knew in his heart that they and Xu Weiguo did not have any life-or-death relationship.

If Fang Huai wanted the Xu family's help, it could only be an exchange of equal value, which would put him at ease. Because self-interest is always stronger than sentiment.

For Fang Huai, Song Yongjun was just as important as his grandparents, because Song Yongjun had saved his life.

He understood Fang Hui's reluctance for him to take the risk, but Fang Huai had to go; it was something he owed Song Yongjun. Moreover, Fang Huai genuinely believed that Zhang Jianhong wouldn't kill him.

Xu Weiguo watched the two Fang brothers confront each other and silently took a few steps back. He decided it was best not to get involved.

After all, he definitely wanted Fang Huai to go in and find out what was going on, but he couldn't bring himself to ask. Otherwise, if something really happened to Fang Huai, he would become the one to blame.

Seeing Fang Huai's determination to go, Fang Hui finally gave in and could only repeatedly remind him, "Be careful and don't let your guard down."

"At most one hour. If you haven't come out after one hour, then we will bring people in to rescue you."

Fang Huai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his elder brother had agreed. He had already decided in his heart that if his elder brother still disagreed, he would sneak over later.

Fang Huai assured him, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely be careful!"

After saying that, Fang Huai resolutely walked into the alley.

Fang Huai arrived in front of the house, took a deep breath, and then knocked on the door according to the code.

Inside the room, Zhang Jianhong was reclining in a chair, watching his brothers reconcile the accounts. Suddenly, he heard someone knocking on the door with a coded signal.

He raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and said seriously, "Let's not settle the accounts now. Pack everything up. Leave a few brothers here, and the rest of you take the supplies and leave!"

This is their base of operations, and the black market isn't here either. Generally, only those who supply them know the secret code for knocking on the door.

But Chen Ermei has already come today, so...

Who is knocking on the door now?
