"Brother Cheng! Something terrible has happened!"
As soon as Xiao Cheng picked up the phone, Awen's earth-shattering, tear-jerking announcement rang in his ears.
It wasn't an emergency; rather, it felt like they had encountered something shocking, something they had never seen before in their lives.
"Speak," Xiao Cheng said calmly.
I can roughly guess what it is.
Ah Wen was already used to the boss's concise way of speaking. He straightened his tongue, which was still tied in shock, and blurted out, "Brother Cheng, you don't know, a major event happened today. Our transport convoy was on the national highway, right? Guess what?"
If Awen were in front of him, Xiao Cheng would punch him and send him to the wall to tell stories.
Even when he wasn't there, Leng Daozi dialed the number: "Get to the point."
"Okay, okay!"
Awen's voice trembled slightly; he suddenly realized that buying shrimp was better than making a phone call.
I don't know which brat took over his job.
"Brother Cheng, listen to me. Our transport convoy had just entered the national highway, less than five minutes later, three police cars were following us. They didn't overtake us, nor did they honk their horns to make us stop. They just followed us at a distance that wasn't too close or too far. It scared us to death!"
"After all, I've only ever dealt with traffic police at checkpoints before, I've never been treated so well on the road! I thought I was being closely monitored as a suspect!"
"And guess what happened?"
Xiao Cheng, wanting to punch someone, said, "Speak."
A cold, detached remark pierced Awen's ears, and he sensed a rare display of impatience from the big boss.
Could it be that he disturbed his elder brother and sister-in-law's business?
What a sin!
Will I get beaten to death?
Let's hurry up and talk about it!
"It's like this, Brother Cheng, isn't that road often frequented by highway robbers? Sometimes during the day, sometimes at night, sometimes two or three people, sometimes five or six together, they stop cars and rob them. The timing is also unpredictable, sometimes every few days, sometimes..."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Xiao Cheng discovered that ever since he got together with Bai Lu, the hardworking guys around him had all become incredibly audacious and spouted endless nonsense!
They keep putting the cart before the horse by ignoring the important points and the nonsense.
They've lost their mind!
The brainless Awen immediately sped up his speech: "It's like this, Brother Cheng, as our convoy was driving, we made a turn, and suddenly a group of people jumped out of the woods by the roadside and robbed us!"
"A dozen or so men, armed with weapons, blocked the road and forced us to get out and pay a toll... The experienced driver in the car behind us said that although highway robbers often occur on this section of the road, he had never seen so many people blocking the road together before. It was obvious that the opponents had conspired and set up an ambush in advance..."
The old clock on the wall ticked away, the second hand going round and round.
The minute hand moves up little by little.
By the time Awen finished describing the thrilling and exciting process, the microphone in Xiao Cheng's hand was almost cracked.
Just a second before the click of the shutter, Awen, who was quickly recounting the process, finally got to the point.
"The moment those road thugs raised their weapons and shouted at our convoy, the police cars arrived. The road thugs were taken away in silver handcuffs as soon as they finished shouting!"
"We watched the whole thing in shock! Brother Cheng, isn't that amazing and coincidental? If I hadn't been so clear that we had no connection with the police, I would have suspected that those three police cars were escorting us!"
"Although they didn't say a word to us from beginning to end, I feel this coincidence is too much! Those highway robbers must have been hired by Jiang Zhiguang and his gang, as for the traffic police in those three police cars..."
"Is there anything else?"
Xiao Cheng's patience finally ran out, and he coldly interrupted Awen's rambling.
Awen thought about it carefully: "That's all."
"The journey went smoothly. There are many suspicious points about this robbery, so I'm reporting it to you. The staff at the checkpoint after that section of the road were very friendly."
"We had a smooth journey, and the fruit was fine; it was checked several times and found to be well-preserved..."
As a matter of routine, Awen reported the situation to Xiao Cheng.
The beeping sound came right after the key information was spoken.
Awen: "..."
Time has taken away the waiting.
She returned to tranquility, her slender figure lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her shallow, even, and long breaths.
She's already asleep.
Xiao Cheng wanted to beat Awen to death.
The thin blanket slipped to the side, and he picked it up and gently covered the girl with it. He took her hand that was sticking out of the blanket and put it back under the covers. Suddenly, his palm touched a hard object.
Her hand was placed on the outer edge of the bed, holding something, clearly intending to give it to him when he returned.
Xiao Cheng's gaze softened slightly as he gently pried open one of the fingers of the soft, jade-like hand.
A sliver of round white light appeared briefly before being withdrawn, and her slender fingers clenched tightly once more.
It's a hair clip featuring seven stars surrounding the moon.
Xiao Cheng saw it, gently embraced the sleeping girl, and held her hand.
He whispered in my ear, "How can you dream if you don't give me permission?"
Perhaps she heard a familiar voice or felt a familiar presence, Bai Lu unconsciously hummed in response, and slowly loosened her clenched hands.
"For Acheng..."
"dream……"
Xiao Cheng chuckled silently, his long fingers intertwining with hers, holding the Seven Stars and the Moon together.
"Okay, let's dream together."
...
To set up an electric chestnut roasting machine factory in the city, you need to rent factory buildings, obtain all the necessary permits, and source assembly parts from the city's industrial zone. You also need to teach the first person how to use the electric chestnut roasting machine.
Xiao Cheng was busy for two days, leaving early and returning late.
Finally, on the night before Bailu went to school, after finishing her work, when the stars were high in the sky, she knocked on the door.
"Lulu, I'm back!"
The door wasn't locked.
Bai Lu, who was watching TV with Xiao Wei inside, heard the call and turned around to see a tall figure rushing in through the door, staggering towards her with drunken steps.
Hug her.
"Lulu, I'm back..."
"Lulu..." Her voice reeked of alcohol, and Bai Lu helplessly patted the child's back.
"Okay, okay, we're home. I'm home."
Xiao Cheng leaned on Bai Lu's shoulder, took a deep breath, and buried his face in her neck with a sense of satisfaction and peace.
Luo Shiliu, standing outside the door, paused for a second before withdrawing his dazed gaze and immediately understood.
It turned out that it wasn't that he was helping her badly or that he wouldn't let her help; it was that she wanted to go home and wanted a hug.
Tsk tsk tsk!
"Sister-in-law, Brother Cheng drank at a dinner party tonight." Luo Shiliu explained seriously, and before closing the door, he gave Bai Lu a knowing look.
"I might be a little drunk, so please be careful~ Goodnight!"
Bai Lu looked at the tightly closed door, her eyes twitching slightly, and turned to go back into the house with the man.
Xiao Wei wanted to help, but after receiving a cold, disdainful glare, he wisely sat back down and watched TV.
The older brother doesn't need his help.
He should stick to watching the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.
Bai Lu wanted to take the drunk child back to his room, but the child insisted on taking a bath: "Lulu, help me find some clothes."
"You're drunk. It's not good for your health to take a shower now. Take one tomorrow morning."
"No, I'm not drunk! I want to shower tonight, right now! I need Lulu to find me some clothes!"
Bai Lu's ears were ringing from all the admonitions, and she was blocked from entering the room by a stubborn child.
