Ironhead's face darkened.
"Uncle Zhang, I only call you uncle because of my sister Xia. I truly consider her my sister, and she has done so much for me by cooperating with me. She has helped me so much, and I'm just doing a small thing. Why do you still want to pay me? Are you looking down on me?" Brother Tietou said angrily.
He felt that he had been humiliated.
He genuinely wanted to get along well with Xia Anyan, and if the opportunity arose in the future, it wouldn't be out of the question to have a deeper relationship with her.
But what Lao Zhang is doing now is really disregarding him.
Is he the kind of person who needs money?
Is he so poor that he can't even afford twenty yuan?
They could easily earn several hundred dollars a day on the black market, sometimes even over a thousand. After dividing it among his brothers, he would still have quite a bit left over.
He completely disregarded the number twenty.
Old Zhang pursed his lips: "Since you call me uncle, then I'll call you nephew."
“Nephew, I know you mean well, and you're good to our Ayan. But you should still accept this money. Because it's not for you, it's for your men.”
"Have you ever considered that they were risking their lives by following you in the black market? If it's safe here, they won't encounter any danger. But if they leave this place, things might be different."
"These are just a small token of my appreciation, nothing much."
Old Zhang has already put it this way, it wouldn't be right for Brother Tietou to refuse.
He sighed and accepted it.
But before Old Zhang left, he still caught up with him: "Uncle Zhang, this is a gift for you. This meeting was rather rushed, and we didn't have a chance to sit down and have a proper chat. So, you must accept this."
Old Zhang looked down and found that there were actually two packs of cigarettes.
White Bear brand cigarettes.
Although the price isn't exorbitant, it's still a rare find among high-end cigarettes.
Generally speaking, only upper-class people would smoke this kind of cigarette.
"Okay, thank you, nephew."
Old Zhang hadn't gone far when Ironhead Brother caught up with him again.
"Nephew, what's going on?"
Ironhead scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Uncle Zhang, didn't you just say my younger sister was injured? It's not appropriate for me, a man, to go and see her. Please take this fruit back with you."
"It's not worth much money, it's just a token of my appreciation, you have to accept it."
Looking at Tie Tou Ge's simple-minded grin, Lao Zhang picked up the bag of fruit in his hand and knew what was going on.
This kid felt bad about taking twenty yuan from him.
Thinking about it carefully, it's understandable.
An ordinary family might not be able to save this much money even in a whole year.
Even for those working in state-owned factories, the wages of ordinary workers were not high. After deducting household expenses, what they saved was their own. At most, they could save a few dollars a month.
"Okay, then I'll head back now."
Old Zhang smiled but didn't say anything more to him.
At worst, I can just talk to my daughter when I get back and make it up to her in other ways.
The Xia family never owes anyone a favor.
When Lao Zhang got back, he told Xia Anyan about it.
Xia Anyan had a general idea of what to prepare for Tie Tou Ge.
Iron Head Bro is indeed a capable man, and one who gets things done.
In just a day and a half, he identified the person who hit Xia Anyan.
He relayed this to Old Zhang.
"Are you sure?" Old Zhang looked at the names written on the paper, somewhat incredulous.
It's really... unbelievable.
Ironhead Bro had a cigarette dangling from his lips, looking nonchalant.
Hearing Lao Zhang's question, he nodded: "I'm sure. I went over there myself to keep an eye on it. How could I be wrong?"
"However, that woman isn't afraid at all. Even at a time like this, she still dares to openly drive that car. If I were her, I would have disposed of that car long ago."
Old Zhang thought about it and nodded in agreement.
That was indeed a bit stupid.
"When you went to investigate, did you hear any other noises or hear anything else?"
"I don't think they'll give up so easily. They might still be plotting something behind our backs. We need to be careful."
Iron Head Bro grunted, "Uncle, you're very clever. That woman is thinking of crashing into me again."
He thought about the conversation he had overheard that morning.
Through the conversation between the woman and the old man of the Qian family, he learned something.
The reason the two wanted to bring the two children together was not only because the two families knew each other before, but also because the two people had already been sleeping together.
However, Qian Youren was, after all, his son. Old Man Qian didn't want to ruin his son's life, so he also decided to give up on Zhou Yatong.
However, Qian Youren is currently imprisoned and there's nothing he can do.
So, Old Man Qian came up with a plan to have Zhou Yatong's mother do it. As for the car, Old Man Qian naturally provided it.
He said he was going to give it to Zhou Yatong's mother, but actually he just wanted to make her take the blame.
It has to be said that a man shouldn't be too capable, otherwise, he'll change.
Pshaw, he'll never turn bad!
Ironhead thought to himself, feeling disgusted.
"In short, everything I found is written on this paper. Captain Han is probably in a hurry to get it, Uncle, could you send it over when you have time?"
"No one's been keeping an eye on my black market these past few days, I'm worried, I have to go back."
"By the way, if Xia's health has improved enough, ask her to send me a batch first. I'm almost sold out."
He finished speaking and chuckled.
That last sentence is the key point.
He came to urge Xia Anyan to give him the things quickly.
He had the money ready, and his brothers were eager to try it out. They couldn't let such a trivial matter delay their big money-making plan.
Old Zhang patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Don't worry, Ayan has everything prepared. The deliveryman will be here by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. There's an abandoned warehouse in Sanlipu, east of the city. Ayan has rented it. You can pick up all your goods there from now on."
This is what Xia Anyan told Lao Zhang.
As for how Xia Anyan managed not to leave the guesthouse, he had no idea.
He won't ask too many questions or investigate further.
As long as Xia Anyan and the old man are safe, he will turn a blind eye.
"Okay, thank you, Uncle. Please thank the young lady for me."
Iron Head Brother waved at him with a grin and left.
As soon as the person left, the smile on Old Zhang's face disappeared, and he quickly headed towards the police station.
Han Qingfeng had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing him arrive, she excitedly stood up: "You've got it?"
