Chapter 373 The Consequences of Failed Stealing



The man named Yan Jing is basically a replica of Lin Lidong in terms of ferocity and ability to do things, but he is not a scout and has not received professional training, so his abilities are always inferior to Lin Lidong's.

After learning about Hu Jicheng's situation, the plan in his mind was actually very simple. The simple and crude ideas he had in Chinatown emerged again. He thought that when facing an official like Li Anmin, being humble would ultimately depend on the person's mood, and the effect would not be obvious. It would be easier to face the threat directly.

Speaking of threats, for a middle-aged man, nothing is more important than children!

So, Yan Jing immediately set his sights on Li Anmin’s child!

Of course, he kept in mind the advice of You Tianfu and Lin Lidong not to cause too much trouble in the early stages of this industry's growth, so he did not foolishly choose straightforward means such as kidnapping and extortion. Instead, he decided to give Li Anmin a warning, sneak into his house, and leave something at the head of his child's bed to let him understand the seriousness of the matter.

That afternoon, the three of them took action. Xiaozai went to investigate Li Anmin's home address, while Mask went to buy a set of night clothes that were fully armed to the teeth, including gloves, foot covers, a hood, and a brand new dagger.

Glasses found a lot of newspapers, cut out some words of varying sizes, and pasted them onto white paper in a rearranged arrangement. The content was a bit blunt, but the threat level was full. He asked directly: "Child or nephew, which one do you choose?"

Later, the three of them got together again, finalized the plan, and assigned tasks to each other. They decided to start as soon as possible while Li Anmin was still at get off work.

As for Li Anmin, since Lujiu City developed the new urban area, many people chose to sell their houses in the old urban area and move to the new urban area with better environment and more convenient transportation. Only Li Anmin is an exception. He has been living in an old community built in the 1980s in the old urban area.

When others asked him about it, he would say that the housing prices in the new city were too expensive and he could not afford it with his salary. He was also used to living in the old city. He was well-known for his integrity.

Because of this, the young man did not spend too much energy on the investigation. He easily found out the community where Li Anmin lived and even the exact unit building and house number.

The community is very old. The outer walls are all black, and the inside still has the same cement steps from the last century. The walls and handrails are covered with various small advertisements, and the doors are still the double-layer design with iron fences on the outside and security doors on the inside.

Li Anmin's home was on the fourth floor. The three of them entered the community and checked the time. It was exactly four o'clock.

Under normal circumstances, Li Anmin doesn't get off work until 5:30, but the boy didn't find out the specific situation of his wife and children.

So the man in mask came out first, dressed up as a salesman and knocked on the door tentatively. After knocking for a long time without anyone answering, he confirmed that no one was home at the moment, so his eyes immediately took action.

After changing into that outfit and disguising himself, he fiddled with the door for a while, successfully opened both doors, and slipped in.

Glasses entered the house and made some moves. Xiaozai and Mask also had clear division of labor. One was at the entrance of the community and the other was downstairs of the unit. They kept an eye on Li Anmin at all times to prevent him from coming back early and bumping into them.

Although Li Anmin's house is an old building, it is very spacious, with three bedrooms, a living room and two bathrooms. Glasses held a knife in one hand and a note in the other, and tiptoed around, but was a little dumbfounded.

Because among the three bedrooms, except for the master bedroom, the other two were converted into a study and a storage room respectively. Looking from beginning to end, there is no trace of children's presence in the whole house at all!

This disrupted Glasses's plans. He immediately took out his phone and called the kid. After the call was connected, he whispered, "Is your information accurate? Is it really the west unit on the fourth floor of unit one? There's no room for children in this family!"

The kid was also confused. He paused for a few moments to think briefly, then responded in a deep voice, "That's right, it's the west unit on the fourth floor of Unit 1. My information is absolutely correct! Do you think this guy had a child too early and they've all grown up and moved out now?"

Hearing this, Glasses reacted instantly and slapped his forehead: "Damn, we are fucking idiots. We just think about how to threaten others and forget about the age issue! Li Changde is already around 30 years old. Li Anmin is his uncle, at least in his 50s. At this age, his children should be already having their own children! What's the point of threatening!

Tell the mask that the plan is cancelled and I'm going down right away!"

In this matter, the three of them were indeed a bit foolish. They ignored the important factor of age and analyzed Li Anmin as a middle-aged man.

But the real situation is different from their analysis!

First, Li Changde only looks old; he's actually not even thirty, having only just turned twenty-eight after the Lunar New Year. His father's generation had children early, so Li Changde was born at seventeen. Li Anmin is two years older than his father, so he's only forty-seven this year, not yet fifty.

Secondly, although Li Anmin is old enough to be a grandfather, his family is so orderly, not because his children have grown up and married and had children, but because he has a hidden illness and has not had children for so many years. Even at this age, he still works hard every night, hoping to have a boy or girl to continue the family line.

Li Anmin's wife, Wang Li, used to work, but she quit her job to stay home and focus on pregnancy. Unexpectedly, this preparation lasted for over a decade, with her constantly seeking medical advice and even praying to Guanyin, the goddess of fertility, hoping she'd get pregnant.

Because of this, there is no trace of children in their home!

Just as the two were talking on the phone, Li Anmin and Wang Li appeared at the gate of the community. Li Anmin was carrying a cake box, and Wang Li was holding his arm. The two walked side by side into the community, and just in the few seconds when the boy was stunned and thinking, they walked past him.

At that time, the boy was wondering if there was something wrong with the information he had collected, and he didn't pay any attention to the passers-by in front of him. When he came to his senses, Li Anmin and his wife had already successfully entered the community.

Downstairs in the apartment building, Mask was sitting on the back seat of a bicycle, fiddling with the bell boredly. He heard footsteps and subconsciously raised his head. He saw Li Anmin and his wife appear in front of him, brushing past him and then walking into the corridor.

He almost dropped his mask in shock at the sight, and quickly pulled out his phone to send a text message to Glasses. Glasses had just hung up the phone and was about to leave the living room after returning from the bedroom. When he saw the message from Mask, he heard the voices of Li Anmin and Wang Li talking in the corridor!

The two of them went up to the fourth floor slowly. Wang Li was searching for the key in her bag. There was only a door between them!
