Dong Cang went to the state-run restaurant and splurged on a bowl of beef noodles. While waiting, he suddenly saw a familiar face at a table in the corner and immediately went over to greet him: "Hey, isn't this Brother Liu? I didn't expect to run into you here."
Liu Feiyue picked up a piece of braised pork, ate it while glancing at Dong Cang with a nonchalant expression, and said, "Oh, it's you. Is there something you need?"
Dong Cang smiled obsequiously: "It's nothing. I just saw Brother Liu and came over to say hello."
Liu Feiyue responded with an "Mmm" and continued eating, ignoring him.
Dong Cang didn't care and brazenly sat down next to Liu Feiyue, asking, "Why haven't I seen Second Brother and Third Brother?"
"I'm busy with something," Liu Feiyue replied casually.
Dong Cang's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer, lowering his voice to ask, "Have you found another treasure?"
Liu Feiyue paused, glancing around warily before giving Dong Cang a warning look: "You better watch your mouth, or I'll get rough with you."
Dong Cang quickly shut his mouth and shook his head vigorously, indicating that he promised he would never do it again.
Liu Feiyue lowered his head and continued eating.
A moment later, Dong Cang leaned over again and whispered, "But I also want to get rich with you guys, Brother Liu, take me with you."
Liu Feiyue: "..." Why should he believe this idiot's words?
Liu Feiyue raised his eyes and looked coldly at Dong Cang.
Dong Cang was so frightened that he shuddered and shut his mouth again.
However, at this moment, Liu Feiyue no longer wanted to believe him and wanted to kick him out directly. But before he could speak, the waiter came over with the beef noodles Dong Cang had ordered. Seeing that Liu Feiyue's expression was not right, the waiter looked somewhat wary.
Liu Feiyue could only pretend that nothing had happened and continued eating with his head down.
Seeing that nothing had happened, the waiter didn't think much of it, served the beef noodles to Dong Cang, and then turned and left.
Dong Cang escaped a disaster and breathed a long sigh of relief. He dared not utter another word and quickly ate his noodles with his head down.
After finishing a large bowl of beef noodles, Dong Cang let out a satisfied burp. He then looked at Liu Feiyue, who had also finished eating. Liu Feiyue put on his usual ingratiating smile and was about to speak again.
Liu Feiyue frowned, as if he wanted to say something, when two tall, familiar figures suddenly entered from outside. They walked straight up to Liu Feiyue and called out, "Big Brother."
Liu Feiyue opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Dong Cang, who was standing next to him, had already called out with a smile, "Second Brother, Third Brother..."
Liu Feiyue: "..." He felt like this guy was here to jinx him.
Liu Erxi and Liu Sanchang both turned to look at Dong Cang.
"What, it's you, kid?" Liu Erxi asked in surprise.
Dong Cang chuckled foolishly.
Liu Erxi turned to Liu Feiyue in confusion: "Brother, why did you bring him here?"
Liu Feiyue: "..." He was wronged; he wasn't.
Dong Cang shook his head and said on Liu Feiyue's behalf, "It wasn't Brother Liu who invited me here. I came to the state-run restaurant for a meal and happened to run into Brother Liu, so we just sat down and ate together."
Liu Feiyue: "..." He just talked to himself and came here; he didn't do anything.
"Where did Second Brother and Third Brother go?" Dong Cang asked Liu Erxi and Liu Sanchang curiously.
Liu Erxi and Liu Sanchang remembered their business, their expressions turned serious, and they looked at Liu Feiyue: "Big Brother..."
Liu Feiyue glanced at the waiter who had been staring at them since the beginning, raised his hand to stop Liu Erxi and Liu Sanchang from speaking, and stood up, saying, "Let's talk outside."
After leaving the state-run restaurant, Liu Feiyue deliberately found a secluded corner, looked seriously at Liu Erxi and Liu Sanchang, and asked, "So? Did you find the guy who keeps intercepting our food?"
Liu Erxi and Liu Sanchang nodded in unison.
Liu Feiyue's face darkened, and he asked, "Who is so bold as to keep intercepting my business?"
"That's the kid who bought our bronze jia as scrap copper last time," Liu Sanchang said.
Liu Feiyue was taken aback: "It's him again?"
Liu Feiyue narrowed his eyes slightly: "So it seems that his ability to take our bronze jia last time was not an accident. Otherwise, how could he have intercepted our hu three times in the past few days?"
Liu Erxi thought for a moment and said, "It's probably a coincidence that he was able to take that bronze wine vessel, but he might have spoken last time. He knows what it is, and it might still be with him now."
A glint of light flashed in Liu Feiyue's eyes: "Have you found where he lives?"
Liu Erxi and Liu Sanchang nodded in unison.
"Take me there to have a look," Liu Feiyue said.
Liu Erxi and Liu Sanchang led the way, with Liu Feiyue following closely behind, and Dong Cang scurrying along behind.
Liu Erxi and Liu Sanchang took Liu Feiyue to Dacheng Street. Afraid of being discovered, they deliberately stayed far away. Pointing to the old principal's gate, they said, "He lives there. We saw him carry a sack full of scrap metal into the house with our own eyes."
Liu Feiyue stared at the old principal's door, wanting to ask more questions, when Dong Cang, who was following behind, suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Eh!"
Liu Feiyue: "..." Here we go again.
The three of them turned to look at Dong Cang.
"What are you doing following me here?" Liu Erxi asked with an annoyance.
Dong Cang pointed to his fingers and said, "You didn't kick me out."
Liu Erxi: "..." It's still their fault.
"What do you mean, 'huh'?" Liu Sanchang asked.
Dong Cang pointed to the old principal's house gate: "I know their family."
The eyes of the three people standing nearby lit up simultaneously.
"How do you know them?" Liu Feiyu asked, somewhat suspiciously.
Dong Cang pointed to the house next to the old principal's house: "That's my future sister-in-law's house. I just had dinner here a couple of days ago and happened to run into the people from the house next door. They have a pretty good relationship with my future sister-in-law's family."
"What's their family situation?" Liu Feiyue asked immediately.
“There are three people in the family: the grandfather, the grandmother, and a grandson. He should be the boy that my second and third brothers mentioned. The grandfather’s name is Qin Xu. He used to be the principal of Lanyuan Middle School. Because the old lady was a capitalist’s daughter, she was criticized and moved here. It is said that she used to live in a small Western-style house,” Dong Cang said.
"A small Western-style building?" Liu Feiyue's three eyes lit up again.
"Brother, wasn't the original owner of that little villa we've been eyeing the other day surnamed Qin? Could it be their family's?" Liu Erxi asked Liu Feiyue excitedly.
