Qi Ye immediately refused, "Are you kidding me? You can't go to my house."

Wang Xingda's smile froze for a moment, then he acted as if nothing had happened and pressed for details, "Why?"

"You know what kind of person your sister-in-law is. If she knew I did something like this, she'd cause a huge uproar. If I were in trouble, you'd suffer the consequences too. What, do you think you're living too well and want to add some excitement and thrill to your peaceful life?"

Although there was a lot of talk in the conversation, Wang Xingda cleverly grasped the key point: your sister-in-law.

These three words were enough to excite him.

"Big brother, you've just accepted me as your little brother like this?"

Qi Ye snorted, not saying anything openly, but simply holding up the roll of money in his hand, "Trust me, no one would turn down money. If they really can't, then it just means there's not enough money."

Wang Xingda was taken aback at first, but then burst into laughter.

That's right, that's exactly it. No matter how stubborn a person is, they won't turn down money.

"Well, you've taught me another lesson today."

Qi Ye chuckled lightly, "You'd better learn something. There's a lot to learn. I'm not talking to you anymore, it's getting late, I should go home."

"Go home?" Wang Xingda followed closely behind. "The sun is still high in the sky. Aren't you planning to go back now?"

Qi Ye glanced at him sideways, "Today was a complete failure, I didn't catch anything. What would I do if I went back? Get scolded?"

Wang Xingda was taken aback, then came to his senses and laughed even harder. "Alright, alright, look at my brain, it's completely useless. I almost forgot everything. Here's what I'll do, I'll have my little brother take some meat over to you."

"Need not."

"It's alright. We can't do business today anyway. Rather than letting it rot at home, we might as well take it out and eat it. It's a waste to throw good food in the trash."

That makes sense, Qi Ye took it.

He carried the meat home with a slender, smooth arm.

Wang Xingda is incredibly generous in his efforts to please his superiors. This piece of meat was so heavy that Qi Ye found it difficult to carry; it must have weighed at least four pounds.

Of course, this was more like a hot potato for Qi Ye.

He didn't want to ruin himself because of these small favors. Wang Xingda was past his prime, but he was different; his future was bright and promising.

Xu Chendong was already waiting for news at home. When he saw Qi Ye carrying a large piece of pork to his door, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"My goodness, Wang Xingda is really generous."

Honestly, at this point, Xu Chendong began to genuinely feel that there was something wrong with Wang Xingda.

Pork is such a rare commodity these days, yet he gave away a huge piece without batting an eye.

This shows just how terrifying the shady dealings involved are.

Qi Ye snorted coldly, "Is this what you call extravagant?"

Xu Chengdong had truly underestimated Wang Xingda. He pulled out the roll of money from his pocket and said, "Count it yourself."

A roll of money.

Xu Chendong gasped, took the money, and quickly counted it.

Five hundred yuan.

This is almost half a year's salary for Qi Ye. If he doesn't stand firm now, he might be turned against him.

Xu Chendong finally realized the seriousness of the matter. He frowned and shouted sternly, "Investigate! We must investigate! Investigate thoroughly!"

Where did this money come from?

The rampant human trafficking in this area recently—whether it's related to Wang Xingda—must be thoroughly investigated.

Qi Ye laughed, "Big brother, don't worry. At first, we were looking for a needle in a haystack. This county town is so big, and they don't have any distinguishing features. They just wear a hat and hide at the entrance of an alley. We'd never find them in our lifetime."

But things are different now.

Once you have someone to suspect, you can naturally dedicate all your energy to keeping an eye on that one or two people.

Time will always prevail, and even water dripping on stone will eventually wear it away.

Every fox eventually reveals its tail, and this cunning fox has been deceived by Qi Ye. If she is even slightly careless, he will surely catch her red-handed.

"I need to think about this carefully. It was hard work dealing with Wang Xingda today. Keep up the good work, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future."

As a soldier, it is his duty to seek the well-being of the people.

However, he also had to ensure his own safety while fulfilling his mission.

"Brother, these are all minor issues. It's my double agent status that you have to handle for me. Otherwise, I might put in a lot of hard work and effort, only to have it all go to waste, and then they turn around and blame me. That would be the end of me."

Xu Chendong laughed heartily, "You little rascal, you must be a fox reincarnated."

He was somewhat pleased with Qi Ye's keen insight. "Don't worry, I've taken care of everything for you. I've even recorded all the bribes for you, but..."

Qi Ye didn't want to hear what he was going to say next, so he slipped away as fast as he could.

When Qi Ye got home, her grandmother looked at her with some surprise, "What, are you done with work?"

You know, he used to leave home at cockcrow and not return until dog time. Today, he's already strolled back before the normal closing time.

"Okay, I'm done with work," Qi Ye said after a quick wash. "Grandma, what are you making for dinner? I'll help you."

Grandma no longer treated him like an outsider, and said with a smile, "Why are you helping? It's not tiring. I can handle it myself. You've been busy all day, so hurry up. There's still some hot water in the thermos that I just boiled this afternoon. Mix some cold water with it and take a bath. Get some rest."

Qi Ye couldn't persuade her grandmother, and upon hearing this, she happily went off.

"Grandma, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

"Eat green beans," Grandma said nimbly, breaking off the beans. "This is the last batch this year; after this, there won't be any more."

Qi Ye: "..."

He suddenly thought of the pile of dried green beans stored in the cellar, and felt a pang of sympathy. He thought to himself, "This is the last batch. As long as Grandma wants them, we can eat them all year round."

"Okay, I'll go take a shower first."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Shen Fenghua also finished work and rode her bicycle to the door to wait for her child.

Suddenly I felt something flash across my buttocks.

Shen Fenghua: "???"

She turned her head and saw a man behind her who was behaving lewdly and was about the same height as her. When he saw Shen Fenghua turn her head, he grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and then took a step back and lifted the hem of his clothes.

There was a hole in the crotch area of ​​his pants.

Shen Fenghua: "..."

Honestly, my eyes are dirty.
