Wang Depin didn't expect Li Lai to be so bold. He dared to leave such an important meeting without permission and go home to squat in the toilet?
If Min Yi hadn't warned him in advance, he would have believed this reason.
However, given the special circumstances tonight, he wouldn't point it out directly.
"Accountant Wen, go to Li Lai's place right now and invite him back! If we don't come to a conclusion tonight, no one can go home and rest!"
Accountant Wen has a strong execution ability and immediately chased after him with a flashlight.
In order to avoid suspicion from others, Li Lai actually returned to his residence and made the sound of rushing to the toilet.
When Accountant Wen arrived, he heard the sound of diarrhea, but he didn't know that it was Li Lai's ventriloquism.
Accountant Wen called out toward the toilet, "Xiao Li! The village chief sent me over to get you. He's worried you'd use the excuse of going home to the toilet to sleep in. The village chief has said that if we don't reach a conclusion tonight, no one will be allowed to go home to rest. Come back with me after you're done, or I won't be able to complete my mission."
Li Lai cursed Wang Depin inwardly, but said, "Okay, please make the special trip. I'll finish it right away."
I secretly thanked myself for actually going home, otherwise I would have been exposed tonight.
In this way, Li Lai returned to the village office.
At this moment, Chu Dashan was moving cement blocks and preparing to dig a hole.
He muttered to himself, "It's so tiring! Being a boatman wasn't as tiring as this! Acting in this whole drama is so fucking tiring..."
He was worried that Widow Qiu would come looking for him soon, so he had to hurry, otherwise he would be exposed.
The soil that has been dug is definitely different from the soil that has not been dug.
Widow Qiu is not a fool. She can see it by shining a flashlight.
Even if he gave the passbook and money to Widow Qiu for safekeeping, he could not guarantee that Widow Qiu would not come to monitor him.
He hadn't done any hard work in months, and after tonight he felt like he was going to get sick.
Dig, dig, dig...
At around three in the morning, Li Lai finally finished the meeting.
Wang Depin was the last one to leave the village office.
He didn't look away until he could no longer see Li Lai's back.
Li Laixian returned to his residence, locked the gate, changed his clothes and shoes, and climbed over the wall to go out.
Go straight to Chu Xuan’s mother’s yard.
Arriving about ten minutes later, he could hear the sound of digging through the door.
He changed his voice and said in a hoarse voice, "Chu Dashan, open the door."
Chu Dashan recognized that the voice came from that person. He took a look at the soil in the pit and confirmed that it was freshly dug out. Then he climbed out of the pit with confidence and walked to the gate of the yard.
"Who are you?"
"It's me. The one who hired you to dig for gold bars."
Chu Dashan opened the bolt and saw Li Lai's face.
"Why is it you?"
Li Lai's face was serious, "Yes, it's me."
"You didn't look like this before. How did you become Li Lai?"
"You've had plastic surgery and now you look like this. Are you more handsome than before?"
"That's pretty cool. You came just in time. I'm dying of exhaustion. The wooden box is almost dug out."
"Let's talk inside the yard."
"good."
Li Lai walked into the yard. Chu Dashan was about to lock the door when he suddenly stopped and said, "You're not going to kill me to keep this secret, are you?"
Li Lai chuckled, "I want to escape unscathed, how could I possibly kill you? No need to lock the door, I'll just take the things and leave. I forgot to tell you, you don't have to dig out the big wooden box, just open the lid and take out the password box from inside."
Chu Dashan looked like he had suffered a great loss, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You've exhausted me to death."
Li Lai quickly smashed open the already rotten wooden box lid and took out the cowhide box from it.
"Let's retreat!"
Chu Dashan was surprised. "Don't keep digging? Maybe there are other treasures!"
"There are indeed some other treasures, but it's too late! Do you want to be caught?"
"No. I want to enjoy my retirement."
Chu Dashan quickly put the hammer and shovel into the sack.
Leave with Li Lai.
Before going out, he didn't forget to lock the gate again.
Li Lai turned around and looked at him. "You're quite careful. Locking the gate at least buys me two hours to escape. I'll send you the money by this time next month."
Chu Dashan deliberately asked, "You don't want to work anymore?"
Li Lai walked forward and said, "This job in Nanyu Village was never meant to be mine."
"What do you mean? Explain carefully."
"I mean my name is not Li Lai, the real Li Lai is dead!"
"You killed him?"
"That's right. I asked him to help me dig for gold bars, but he didn't cooperate, so I killed him. You'd better be obedient. Don't worry! I won't treat you badly in the future! King of Cuckold!"
"How could you say that about me?"
"Feng Chunhua has been cuckolding you for decades, yet you've endured it all. Wouldn't it be unfair to you if I didn't call you the Cuckold King?"
"I don't care. I don't like Feng Chunhua anyway."
"Do you like the Autumn Widow?"
"Yeah! You know her too?"
"Of course I know her. I paid her two thousand dollars to keep an eye on you, and she did a great job."
"What a traitorous woman! I'll punish her when I get home! By the way, the box is filled with gold bars, right? You have to give me three."
"To tell you the truth, you can't spend the gold bars. They have special marks on them, and I need to find a place to melt them down and remake them. I advise you to choose the money, otherwise you will get into trouble."
"Okay then! Could you tell me your name?"
"It's inconvenient. Unless something unexpected happens, we won't see each other again. You don't need to know my name."
Li Lai usually doesn't talk so much, but tonight he got the gold bars and was in a good mood, so he couldn't help but say a few more words.
Using a flashlight, I glanced at the time on my watch. It was almost time to leave.
Before Chu Dashan could say anything, Li Lai had already disappeared into the night.
Ten minutes later, Chu Dashan avoided the patrol team and returned to his residence.
The gate to the courtyard was ajar and opened with a push.
Widow Qiu, who was sleeping on the table, woke up immediately when she heard the noise.
"Brother Dashan, are you back?"
Chu Dashan did not expose her because he would need free labor to massage his shoulders, back and legs.
"Qiu Mei, I'm back."
"Did you find any treasure? Did no one find it?"
"I'll tell you later. First, boil some water for me. I want to take a shower. After I'm done, you can give me a back massage."
"There's water in the pot. You can take a bath now."
"Very good."
Half an hour later, Chu Dashan took a shower and changed into clean clothes.
Widow Qiu rubbed his arms and legs.
As for Li Lai, Chu Dashan doesn't need to worry about him, as his role has already been played.
Before he knew it, Chu Dashan fell asleep.
Widow Qiu looked helpless. "Didn't you say you would tell me if you found any treasure? Why did you just fall asleep like this?"
Seeing Chu Dashan sleeping soundly, she continued without hesitation, "Brother Dashan, I only found out tonight that the person who hired me was the one who asked you to go treasure hunting. If I tell you the truth, will you still marry me? You lied to me too, didn't you? Your endless supply of money was given by Li Lai, not Feng Chunhua at all."
Having said that, Widow Qiu packed her luggage, took Chu Dashan's ID card, passbook and cash, and left before dawn.
He didn't notice that Chu Dashan's eyes opened and closed.
Chu Dashan woke up and did not stop Widow Qiu because he knew that Widow Qiu could not escape and his money and passbook would be returned intact.
As for Li Lai, he should have been arrested by now, right?
I hope there won’t be any complications…
