At that time, Wei Aiguo hadn't even found Maozi yet, but he already knew that Yueyue had taken care of the old lady in the alley.

His family was new to the area and had no established connections. They'd already offended the locals. Wei Aiguo, being cautious, had Xiaohu inquire about the neighbors' backgrounds.

Xiao Hu has a non-local accent, making it somewhat inconvenient for him to inquire about things.

When Wei Aiguo found Mao Zi, Mao Zi was so poor that he didn't know where his next meal would come from. He gave Mao Zi thirty yuan and asked him to help him inquire about things.

As the old saying goes in Kyoto, Russians are familiar with the entire city of Beijing, so asking around is really easy for them.

He didn't tell the truth just now because he was afraid Song Yan would worry.

Old Mrs. He's youngest son, He Fei, not only does no good job, but he's also quite ruthless. It's just that he hasn't done anything too serious in his neighborhood, so people don't really know how bad he is.

Yueyue beat up his mother. Wouldn't someone like that get revenge?

On one hand, Wei Aiguo instructed Song Yan to keep Yueyue under control and not allow her to go out alone; on the other hand, he instructed Di Jianjun to pay close attention to Yueyue. Meanwhile, Wei Aiguo also had Mao Zi keep an eye on He Fei and gather information about him. If they could find something serious to use against him, they would be happy to destroy him.

Unfortunately, the Russians only found out about trivial matters.

When Wei Aiguo learned that Yueyue was in trouble, he went to find Maozi as soon as he left school.

When Maozi saw Wei Aiguo, he was completely stunned.

The man was wearing a military uniform, looked very smart, and exuded an air of righteousness—someone a petty thug like him wouldn't associate with. Yet, the way he spoke to him felt so familiar. Who was this?

"Have you spent all the money I was given? How's the matter I was asked to inquire about going?"

To find out more about the antique dealers, Wei Aiguo had to disguise himself.

The Russian wasn't stupid; he knew that his second brother must have done something to get him out of trouble.

Of the people he was with back then, only he and his second brother didn't go in.

His second brother was definitely a capable person, but he didn't dare to inquire about his background. His second brother gave him money and told him to do whatever he was asked to do.

My second brother told me to walk the right path, and what he's asking me to do now, while not exactly a respectable job, isn't exactly petty theft either.

He never expected that his second brother was actually a soldier! Judging from his demeanor, he wasn't even a lowly soldier.

No one knows how happy the Russians were at that moment; following the soldiers was definitely the right thing to do.

He completely accepted that the person in front of him was his second brother.

Maozi found out that He Fei had rented a courtyard in the vicinity of the secondhand market, and in just a few days, he paid him twenty yuan.

The Russians kept an even closer eye on it.

The rent was already quite unusual, and it wasn't He Fei who rented the house, but he was the one using it. It would be strange if there were no ghosts here.

He Fei and his friends often steal chickens and dogs. There's one of them named Guan Xiaozi, who's only eleven or twelve years old.

Guan, a young boy, followed behind He Fei, hoping to get some food from him.

They lived hand to mouth, sometimes not knowing where their next meal would come from.

The Russian often gave him food, and they started talking. He learned from him that the purpose of renting the yard was to catch dogs and eat them for meat.

Twenty yuan can buy a dog! There must be something going on with all this trouble.

The Russian gave Guan a five-dollar bill, telling him to find out everything about the situation. He promised to pay him back if he got any useful information.

Upon receiving this information, Wei Aiguo knew that He Fei was most likely responsible.

Maozi: "I heard they want to eat dog meat, so they'll definitely need to find a place. I told Guan Xiaozi to focus on figuring out the location."

I'm going to find Guan Xiaozi now, and then we'll meet at our usual spot.

Wei Aiguo: "Tell him that the more accurate and useful the information he gives me, the more money I will give him."

After returning home, changing his clothes, and grabbing his gun, Wei Aiguo was about to meet up with the Russians when Jin Wu and Leopard came looking for him.

This group of trainees was small in number, but like Wei Aiguo, they all shared a common characteristic: their educational level wasn't very high, but they had all made outstanding contributions in their original units, and almost every one of them had military merits. Their individual combat capabilities were beyond doubt.

Kim Wu: "Our daughter is missing, of course we have to go find her."

Leopard: "I was stupid!"

It would definitely be better if they could help.

“This outfit won’t do; it’s too eye-catching,” Wei Aiguo said.

"That's easy!"

The two of them went into a small alley.

At any point, the people will be able to get help from the soldiers, and the soldiers will be able to get help from the people.

Two people went to a house, saying they were on a mission and wanted to find two old clothes to wear.

The family lived there; it was an elderly couple. They found them two old clothes and asked if they would be okay, and if not, they could borrow some.

I must say, the size actually fits quite well.

They changed out of their uniforms, saying they would come back to pick them up after completing their mission.

Wei Aiguo led the two of them to the place where they were to meet with the Russians.

The Russians haven't arrived yet.

Wei Aiguo could only wait, because the Russians had a lead. He waited for an hour.

The Russian grabbed the boy, who looked like he was trying to run away.

Guan Xiaozi is small; he wouldn't be able to escape if the Russians caught him. Now, three strong men have arrived.

There was a look of despair in his eyes.

Wei Aiguo: "What happened?"

Maozi: "Guan said he's okay with helping to find out things, but if he leads people to He Fei, He Fei will find out and won't let him off the hook."

Leopard grabbed Guan Xiaozi and said, "Do whatever I tell you to do, or I'll make you regret it."

Although Guan was scared, he kept quiet.

Leopard gripped Guan Xiaozi's neck, tightening his grip, and Guan Xiaozi, his face turning red, remained silent.
