The phone book not only had the contractor's phone number, but also his address, telling the old man to call him immediately if he found out Zhulin had any romantic words. If the call didn't go through, he could come to the address he gave to find him.
In short, it can be seen that the contractor attaches great importance to this bamboo forest.
"If you want to talk, go talk to the big boss yourself."
The old man had asked the big boss indirectly before, asking him how long he would continue to contract the bamboo forest. As a result, the big boss always answered that he was not sure and would wait and see. Of course, the old man was not sure either.
For this kind of job where they can get money every year without doing anything, they naturally want to keep it as long as possible, and the best thing is to be able to settle down in the long term.
That was why he dared to tell Officer Wang and the others his contact information. His purpose was to let the big boss know that their bamboo forest was also in great demand and that he should continue to contract it as soon as possible.
Officer Wang knew exactly what the old man was up to, but he didn't mind. He just needed his contact information and address.
Then the three of them immediately returned to the city. They did not go to the address to check the situation first, but went back to the bureau.
Officer Xiao Hu personally investigated the phone number and information, then the address, and finally discovered that the person at the phone number and the owner of the house were the same person, a 50-year-old middle-aged man named Jiang Hengsheng.
From the information, we can see that Jiang Hengsheng is a businessman who runs a grocery store. The store is not big, with only one storefront. He is not the big boss that the old man always thought.
They just had an issue with the price for contracting the bamboo forest. They said that it would cost about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year to rent the entire bamboo forest. Since the bamboo forest is not small and many families have bamboo plants there, if the money is too little, everyone would think it would be better not to rent it.
Twenty or thirty thousand, each person can get one or two thousand a year, just enough to make everyone feel that this amount is neither too much nor too little.
Twenty to thirty thousand a year is not a small amount for a small business owner.
After all, these 20,000 to 30,000 bamboo shoots can only be deployed in the spring every year. Going to the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots is a loss no matter how you look at it.
However, Jiang Hengsheng contracted the land for two years, which was enough to prove that the value of the bamboo forest to him was definitely more than 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
After Officer Wang and Officer Xiao Hu confirmed the contractor's identity, they immediately set out to find Jiang Hengsheng.
Lin Xi went with them to the small grocery store opened by Jiang Hengsheng.
When they left, Jiang Hengsheng was sitting at the door of the store reading a newspaper.
When they saw Jiang Hengsheng, both Officer Wang and Officer Xiao Hu were stunned.
Because the Jiang Hengsheng in front of him looked no more than fifty years old, and some people might believe he was seventy.
Some people do look older, but no matter how old they look, they can't be that much older than their actual age, unless they suffer from some genetic aging disease or something.
However, there is no information showing that Jiang Hengsheng has such a disease.
So how did he respond?
While Officer Wang and the other man were still surprised, Lin Xi had already figured out the reason.
Her gaze paused at Jiang Hengsheng's life palace for two seconds, and she thought to herself, "As expected."
She could tell from Jiang Hengsheng's face that he had suffered a serious illness a few years ago, and under normal circumstances, that illness might have taken his life.
But he is still alive now. Not only that, except for looking extremely old, there is nothing wrong with him.
Lin Xi guessed what Jiang Hengsheng had done almost instantly.
Borrow life.
The so-called "borrowing life" does not necessarily mean taking life from others. There are also so-called "longevity" techniques and medicines.
However, it is difficult to find prescriptions for this type of medicine, and even if there are any, since prolonging life goes against destiny, it will affect other conditions.
For example, someone like Jiang Hengsheng, although he lived a few years longer than his predetermined lifespan, the signs of aging all over his body were the result of him borrowing his life.
In his current condition, even if he borrows more lives, he will definitely not live for more than a few years.
When the body is extremely aged, even if one no longer wants to leave this world, one is powerless to stop the passage of life.
