"You're joking, aren't you? I'd have a godson who's over 40. People would laugh their heads off if they knew. Besides, I don't have anything to teach him."
Wang Qiang was both amused and exasperated.
Unexpectedly, the old man was quite persistent. In the end, Wang Qiang had no choice but to accept this godson.
After announcing his name, the old man was named Hu Tianlai. His son, the one who brought Wang Qiang, was named Hu Shengli.
Hu Shengli was quite honest. Seeing that Wang Qiang was willing to take him as his godson, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Qiang, shouting...
"Godfather, please accept my bow."
Wang Qiang helped Hu Shengli up. From then on, Hu Shengli was considered Wang Qiang's godson. Hu Tianlai told Hu Shengli to quickly make some tea.
The two sat down and chatted.
Wang Qiang told them his original purpose for going to the ghost market.
After listening to Wang Qiang's story, Hu Tianlai frowned.
"This is not a good situation. Although there are some transactions in the ghost market, they are far from enough to handle such a large volume."
Hu Shengli chimed in from the side, "Yeah, the ghost market is just a small-scale operation. We really can't handle this much."
Hu Tianlai leaned closer to Wang Qiang and said, "I do have a solution."
Tell me what your method is.
Seeing that no one was around, Hu Tianlai then spoke to Wang Qiang.
"There's a supply and marketing section chief in our area. Don't underestimate him just because he's a lowly section chief. His family is very wealthy."
Seeing that Wang Qiang didn't understand, Hu Tianlai continued.
“People like that wouldn’t dare call the police even if they lost money. Brother Wang, you’re far more capable than them.”
Did Hu Tianlai say anything more? Wang Qiang already understood what he meant when he continued.
"Don't feel guilty. This kind of person acts recklessly, embezzles, and bullies men and women. For him, this is just a small punishment."
Wang Qiang pondered for a while, then looked at Hu Tianlai with suspicion. He realized that Hu Tianlai wasn't talking nonsense. This man spoke sincerely; it was probably the truth.
"Alright, now is the perfect time. Ill-gotten gains are for everyone. It's just that I'm not familiar with this area."
Hu Tianlai was very happy to see that Wang Qiang had agreed.
"Victory, lead the way to your godfather's house. Go to Section Chief Ma's house."
Upon hearing this, Hu Shengli's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly. Finally, he said to Wang Qiang...
"Godfather, I'll lead the way. Let's grab some late-night snacks and then set off."
Wang Qiang waved his hand: "No need, we'll go now."
Hu Shengli nodded after hearing what Wang Qiang said. "Alright then, I'll lead the way, godfather, you come with me."
Wang Qiang followed Hu Shengli.
It took more than 40 minutes to walk.
We arrived at a secluded courtyard.
Wang Qiang thought the courtyard was quite beautiful, with blue brick walls and a bright red gate.
Hu Shengli pointed to the courtyard and said to Wang Qiang, "This is Section Chief Ma's house."
The two climbed over the wall and looked inside.
This is a courtyard with two sections, one in front and one in back. There are three main rooms in the front and three in the back, with side rooms on the left and right sides of the main rooms. The ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and there are several trees planted in the courtyard.
This is clearly not an ordinary family.
At this moment, in the main building in front, the light was still on in one of the rooms on the left, while the rest were completely dark.
Wang Qiang and Hu Shengli saw that in the lit room, someone's silhouette was reflected in the window. They could vaguely hear people talking, but they couldn't make out what they were saying.
Hu Shengli couldn't hear clearly, but Wang Qiang concentrated and strengthened his hearing.
It turned out that the people speaking were a man and a woman.
A man's voice said, "Young lady, you should go back. The checks are very strict right now."
A woman's voice: "No, it's not easy for me to come all this way."
The man's voice was anxious: "Things will be fine once this storm passes. I've asked around, and the advice is to avoid trouble for a while."
The woman said coquettishly, "Don't you miss me?"
The man sighed and said, "Yes, I think about you all the time."
The two men peered over the wall.
At this moment, the door to the main room opened, and a man walked out. He appeared to be over 50 years old and was slightly overweight.
He waddles around with his belly sticking out. You have to admit, he looks quite like a bloated penguin. This person, without a doubt, is Section Chief Ma.
Then a young woman came out of the house. She looked to be in her early thirties, with a slender figure and pretty face.
At this moment, Section Chief Ma walked into the yard, took out a key from his pocket, and unlocked the bicycle parked in the yard.
It turns out that this bicycle was prepared for Section Chief Ma's mistress.
After unlocking the bicycle, Section Chief Ma urged the young woman,
"It's getting late, let's get on the bus quickly."
The young woman was sitting on the back of the bicycle.
Chief Ma rode in front of the bicycle.
Section Chief Ma started the bicycle by pedaling. From behind, the two looked very affectionate.
Then the car slowly drove out of the yard and left.
After seeing Section Chief Ma leave, Wang Qiang jumped off the wall.
He said to Hu Shengli, "You wait here for me, I'll go in first."
Hu Shengli nodded in agreement.
Wang Qiang went to the window on the east side of the main house and looked inside. He saw that the light was on, but he couldn't see anyone.
Finally, we went to the window of the room on the east side and looked inside. We saw a light on and a figure lying on the bed sleeping.
This person is undoubtedly Section Chief Ma's wife.
Section Chief Ma's wife was lying on her side in bed, facing the window.
Her legs were curled up, her heels were kicking against the blanket, and her upper thighs were exposed.
She was wearing a pink shirt with two buttons casually undone, revealing her pink bra strap.
Her hair was disheveled and lying on the pillow. Beside the pillow were a white handkerchief, a bunch of keys and a few coins, a teacup, a pair of slippers, a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.
Wang Qiang saw that Section Chief Ma's wife was sleeping soundly. So he beckoned to Hu Shengli, who was leaning against the wall. Hu Shengli lowered his gun and tiptoed to Wang Qiang's side.
"Is Godfather going to make a move now?"
Hu Shengli said in a low voice.
"A swift and decisive victory."
The two arrived at the slightly ajar door and gently pushed it open.
First, we went to the room where Section Chief Ma and his lover had just had their tryst. We didn't find any hidden money in this room.
The two then went to the room where Section Chief Ma's wife was sleeping.
Section Chief Ma's wife was fast asleep, lying on her back, emitting soft snores. One hand rested outside the blanket, and a gold ring on her finger gleamed brightly.
The room was warm and cozy. The stove was burning brightly, and coal briquettes were popping out from time to time.
Wang Qiang gestured to Hu Shengli to keep quiet, while he cautiously approached Section Chief Ma's wife.
Section Chief Ma's wife had a rosy complexion, was breathing evenly, and was sleeping soundly.
Wang Qiang gently lifted Section Chief Ma's wife's arm and placed her hand on his leg.
Upon seeing this, Hu Shengli immediately understood Wang Qiang's intention.
