Li Yuemin recounted what happened last night in detail. At the end he asked:

"How's the situation with godfather? Did he take down Song Rensong?"

Yin Cuiping shook her head:

"Things are not as simple as you think. You have to know that Song Rensong has a foundation in the upper echelons after all.

My father is dealing with it now, and I’m not sure about the outcome.

Brother Yuemin, I have prepared everything for the mountain trip. Can we stick to the original plan?"

"Yes, the original plan remains unchanged. Sister, you should leave quickly. If someone sees us, the news might leak out."

Yin Cuiping really wanted to touch Li Yuemin's cheek, but after thinking about it, she resisted. She turned around and got into the car, rolled down the window, and said reluctantly:

"Brother Yuemin, you can go back. I will take good care of my sister-in-law and godmother."

Only then did Li Yuemin realize that his younger brother Li Yuejin did not follow him.

...

...

He stared at the direction the jeep went until it disappeared, then turned around and went home.

When I entered the room, I found Li Yuejin cleaning the Hanyang-made pistol. When I looked up, I found Li Yuemin coming back, pouting and complaining:

"Brother, I know you and Director Zhao are going to have a big move tonight, why don't you think of taking me with you? You look down on me."

"Nonsense, how could I look down on you? I'm just afraid that if something happens to you, I won't be able to explain to mom."

"Then tell me, what do you want to do tonight? Then I can cooperate with you."

“You don’t need to cooperate with what happens tonight.

What you need to do now is to find your friends and keep an eye on Song Mengyao, Li Guolin, and Wang Jiguang respectively.

See who they contacted and who they called. Remember, don't miss a single word, and report everything back before dark."

Li Yuejin agreed and went. Li Yuemin simply ate some cold rice and began to prepare everything needed for the battle in the evening.

Li Yuemin had prepared everything, it was already past four in the afternoon. As soon as he lay down and straightened his back, he heard three noises coming from the back window.

He knew that it was Zhuzi and Jiang Bilian who had returned, so he opened the window and welcomed them in.

"Brother, tell me, what do you want Bilian and I to do?"

The pillar asked.

"Second brother, I think if Lai and his gang come this time, they will definitely kill us all. So, after it gets dark, you go to my mother's room in the front yard and lie down.

If they come, we will surround them from three sides."

After Li Yuemin finished speaking, he handed Chuntao's clothes to Jiang Bilian:

"Big sister, oh, I should call you my sister-in-law now. You can pretend to be my wife and walk around the yard. Your mission will be completed.

After turning off the lights, go out through the back window and go back to Zhuzi's house with my brother."

But be careful to make your belly look more like a real thing. Also, when you're walking around the yard, make sure no one can see your face."

Jiang Bilian responded and went into the inner room holding Chuntao's clothes.

It didn't take long before she came out with a bulging belly.

Zhuzi almost laughed out loud when he saw it:

"Bilian, hey, don't tell me, when you put on my second sister-in-law's clothes, you really look a bit like her. You really know how to dress up."

Jiang Bilian glanced at him and said:

"That's right. I remember when I was an educated youth, I sang in model operas and played the role of A Qing Sao."

After saying this, he proudly wrapped a turban around his head, took a basket and went out to feed the horses.

When Li Yuejin saw Jiang Bilian coming out, he ran over and took the basket from him, saying:

"Sister-in-law, my brother has already told you not to do these rough jobs anymore. Come into the house and have a rest. I'll feed the horse."

Jiang Bilian handed him the basket, went to the firewood pile and carried a bundle of straw back to the house.

Soon, wisps of smoke rose from the chimney, and the aroma of food wafted out of the cottage.

Li Yuemin brought the rice and dishes to the front yard, then looked at the kennel and turned back to the house.

At this time, it was already dark, and the figures of Jiang Bilian and Li Yuemin eating together were reflected on the brown paper window curtains.

More than half an hour later, a black shadow flashed out from Song Mengyao's house and ran quickly out of the village.

Song Mengyao held onto the fence, staring in the direction where the dark shadow was going away.

Zhuzi found the right time and came to Meng Qiaozhen's room. This day and night was very stressful for him.

But thinking that he had picked up a beautiful wife for free, Zhuzi covered himself with the quilt with a smile and closed his eyes.

It is already past nine o'clock. People in the countryside go to bed early and all the lights are turned off in every household.

Li Yuemin saw that the time was almost up, so he opened the back window and asked Li Yuejin to send Jiang Bilian away.

I lay down on the kang with my clothes on and fell asleep in a daze.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard three more knocks on the back window. He sat up and realized it was Director Zhao.

He hurriedly opened the window, but unexpectedly the person who came was He Qiang. He was stunned and asked:

"Why is it you? Where's Brother Zhao?"

"It was Director Zhao who asked me to come. He said that he received a call from the Municipal Bureau tonight, saying that Lai Tianxing's gang might make a big move, and ordered him to fully cooperate in the cleanup activities.

He told me to tell you that they probably won't come tonight. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

When Li Yuemin heard this, his heart began to beat fast.

I muttered to myself:

"Could it be that I made a wrong judgment? Scar will not avenge the Thunder Hand and Whirlwind Kick.

That’s not right. If they didn’t plan to take any action, why would they send people to wait in Song Mengyao’s house?

Or maybe someone discovered the flaw in Chuntao, played by Jiang Bilian, and their action was canceled.

Thinking about this, Li Yuemin could no longer sleep. He vaguely felt that what was happening tonight was definitely not that simple.

Just as he was hesitating, Li Yuejin pushed the door open and walked in.

"Brother, I just saw Song Mengyao leaving on a donkey cart. Where can they go at this late hour?

My friend said that Li Guolin's parents are taking care of him in the hospital, so he doesn't need her."

Li Yuejin's words aroused Li Yuemin's vigilance:

"Yuejin, Director Zhao is afraid that someone will tell me that Lai is going to make a big move tonight, so he won't come here.

But we still have to be vigilant, neither of us will sleep in the house today. You go into the straw stack, and I'll go to the roof to keep watch.

Remember, all of them are desperate men, and you have no other skills except this Hanyang rifle. Therefore, your role is to shoot from behind, not to fight openly. "

"Understood, bro!"

After Li Yuemin finished speaking, he wrapped himself in his military coat, took the Zhuge Crossbow he had brought back from the blacksmith shop today, brought his submachine gun, put on a quilt, walked out of the house and climbed onto the roof, watching the movements from a cat in the leeward place.

Li Yuejin crawled into the haystack, holding up the Hanyang-made rifle and staring at the yard.

It was the middle of the night and the weather was extremely cold. The two brothers waited for several hours.

Just when the two were too sleepy to open their eyes, more than a dozen dark shadows came rapidly from a distance.
