After leaving the Fu family, Dong Cang hurriedly went to find Liu Feiyue.
He remembered seeing Liu Feiyue with Liu Erxi and Liu Sanchang, pulling a cart full of scrap metal. He guessed they were going to the scrap yard, so he went directly there to find someone.
Sure enough, Dong Cang found Liu Feiyue sitting on an empty cart waiting for him in a corner opposite the scrap yard, and quickly went up to him: "Brother Liu".
"You're here." Liu Feiyue raised his eyelids, glanced at Dong Cang, and asked, "How is it?"
"Brother Liu, the horse you took a liking to, I personally carried it into that girl's room. It's on the left as you enter." Dong Cang paused, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Liu Feiyue, and continued, "Also, she has a pair of gold bracelets there. They accidentally fell on the ground and I saw them. Judging by their thickness, the two together probably weigh about two ounces."
Compared to gold and silver jewelry, Liu Feiyue naturally values antiques more. However, he wouldn't mind finding gold for free, especially since it weighs two ounces.
"Well done." He nodded at Dong Cang with satisfaction and said, "Since you still have this connection with them, I'll have you keep an eye on that area and see when a suitable opportunity arises."
“If all else fails, we’ll create an opportunity.” Liu Feiyue looked at Dong Cang meaningfully and said, “Don’t worry, you’ll get your share of the benefits once it’s done.”
Dong Cang was just waiting for him to say that, and he couldn't stop smiling: "Thank you, Brother Liu, but this time you don't need to wait. There will be a great opportunity tonight."
"Oh?" Liu Feiyue raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"
“Today is the old man next door’s birthday. He invited his whole family over for dinner. No one will be home then, which will be a perfect opportunity to strike,” Dong Cang said.
"Oh? What a coincidence?" Liu Feiyue frowned, a hint of doubt creeping into his mind. Wasn't it a bit too much of a coincidence?
"Did they say that to your face?" Liu Feiyue asked cautiously.
Dong Cang shook his head: "When I left, I happened to run into the neighbor's kid. They didn't want me to hear them, so they deliberately waited until I was leaving before they started talking. Luckily, I was quick-witted and walked a little slower, so I heard everything they said."
As he spoke, Dong Cang revealed a smug expression.
Liu Feiyue's expression didn't seem fake, which lessened his doubts somewhat.
However, he did not let his guard down: "The time is still too tight. I'm afraid that if things get out of hand, people will suspect us."
However, it would be a real shame to miss such a great opportunity.
Liu Feiyue pondered for a moment, looked at Dong Cang, and said, "Okay, you don't need to get involved in this tonight. Just stay home and have dinner with your family."
Dong Cang panicked upon hearing this: "Why?" What if he didn't get his share? That was a two-ounce gold bracelet! He completely ignored the horse; he didn't care for it. In cash, it would only be worth twelve yuan, not even enough for four people to share.
Liu Feiyue glared at Dong Cang: "You don't believe me when I say you're stupid. They just showed off their wealth in front of you, and then they got robbed that night. Do you think they won't suspect you? If you want to be sent to a labor camp, then pretend I didn't say anything."
Dong Cang immediately shook his head like a rattle drum: "I'll listen to Brother Liu."
“However, if I don’t go…” Dong Cang looked at Liu Feiyue, hesitating to speak.
Liu Feiyue understood what he meant, couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said, "Don't worry, you'll get your share."
Dong Cang smiled with relief: "I'm relieved to hear Brother Liu say that."
"When things come to light, if the public security brigade really comes after you, remember not to give yourself away. Otherwise, you know the consequences. If you cause us all to go to the labor camp, your good days will be over," Liu Feiyue warned.
Dong Cang shuddered and quickly said, "Don't worry, Brother Liu, I promise I won't give myself away." After saying that, he quickly shut his mouth to show his determination.
Liu Feiyue paused for a moment, then turned to look at Liu Erxi and Liu Sanchang and said, "I don't think I can go tonight either. I asked that girl for that tricolor horse several times before, but the horse is gone now. She might suspect me too. You two will have to go by yourselves. Remember to be careful. Even if you fail, you absolutely cannot let anyone catch you."
Liu Erxi and Liu Sanchang nodded in unison: "Don't worry, big brother."
Liu Feiyue had always trusted Liu Erxi, as he was clever.
He glanced at Liu Sanchang with a headache, then looked at Liu Erxi and solemnly instructed, "Keep an eye on Sanchang."
"Understood, brother," Liu Erxi replied.
At this time, Gao Mingcheng was still waiting at the Public Security Brigade.
Gao Mingcheng and Zhao Bin, the captain of the public security brigade, were junior high school classmates and even deskmates, and had always had a good relationship. He knew that catching Liu Feiyue wouldn't be enough on his own, so he immediately thought of Zhao Bin, whose official position would make things easier.
However, it seems his timing was off today. Zhao Bin had just taken some people out on business, and it was almost lunchtime, but he still hadn't returned, and no one knew when he would come back.
Fu Lan had already taken Dong Cang back. According to their original plan, if nothing unexpected happened, Liu Feiyue would most likely make a move tonight. Time was of the essence, and he couldn't come back another day, so he had no choice but to continue to wait patiently.
Suddenly, a commotion of footsteps came from outside. People were coming, and quite a few of them.
Gao Mingcheng sat up straight instinctively, looking expectantly towards the door.
Sure enough, a group of people quickly poured in from outside. Leading them was a rough-looking man with a stubble beard, who walked with a powerful stride and looked quite imposing. He had a square face, and although he was tanned dark, Gao Mingcheng recognized him at a glance. It was Zhao Bin.
"What's going on here, Captain? He rushed to call our security team to arrest that henpecked husband, but when we actually tried to arrest him, the woman got upset and almost scratched my face." The young man following closely behind Zhao Bin couldn't help but complain.
"Even an upright official can't settle family disputes. It's a matter between the two of them, and we're all outsiders. Let's just leave it at that. You'll understand when you see more of this in the future," Zhao Bin said, patting the young man's shoulder reassuringly.
"It's always the same routine of finding cows or sheep. Life's so boring. When will our Lanyuan Town be able to have a big operation like Qingxi Town next door?" the young man said, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Zhao Bin. "By the way, Captain, I heard that the head of the Qingxi Town security brigade got promoted to the city level because of this opportunity. If we could run into him too, wouldn't you be..."
Before the young man could finish speaking, Zhao Bin slapped him on the forehead.
"Can't you just hope things are better for Lanyuan Town? If something really big happens, do you know how many people will be implicated? You brat," Zhao Bin cursed without any politeness.
The young man winced in pain, scratching his head, and apologized, "I'm sorry, Captain, I was wrong."
"You're back, Captain." Someone greeted him. "By the way, someone's looking for you."
"Who?" Zhao Bin asked.
The man turned and pointed at Gao Mingcheng: "Look, he's been waiting here for quite a while."
Zhao Bin turned to look at Gao Mingcheng, quickly recognized him, and exclaimed with delight, "Mingcheng?"
