Chapter 15: Ambush
Zhou Yuan's funeral was handled by Zhang Yaoyao. As friends of the two, Liu Jianan and his friends accompanied Zhang Yaoyao and sent Zhou Yuan off on his last journey.
"Sorry, I delayed your shopping." Zhang Yaoyao's eyes were swollen like walnuts, and she held the urn tightly in her arms.
Liu Jianan shook his head: "It doesn't matter, the order has been placed. With Uncle Hu and Aunt Zhang here, and the gang of hooligans working as laborers, filling the warehouse is not a problem."
Yes, early in the morning of the second day after the accident, Wang Mazi brought a group of younger brothers to join them.
Originally, Liu Jianan did not intend to accept these people. Whether in terms of character or ability, these people did not meet his requirements.
But considering that the supplies were delivered to the hotel one after another, it would take a lot of manpower and resources to sort the supplies and transport them into the warehouse.
He still held his nose and kept them.
The advantage of having more people is obvious.
Within two days, thousands of tons of supplies filled the warehouse.
The supplies he selected had the characteristics of long shelf life and balanced nutrition. The cost was extremely high, and only one tenth of the 100 million funds remained.
The remaining 10 million was just enough for him to reinforce the warehouse, so as to prevent the supplies he had collected with great effort from being snatched away by others.
Zhang Yaoyao rubbed her eyebrows tiredly. She had been guarding Zhou Yuan's body for the past two days, and was busy taking care of the funeral affairs. She didn't get a good night's sleep.
It was all thanks to her strong willpower that she was able to hold on.
Now that the dust has settled, the accumulated distress and fatigue have swept over her, and she just wants to go back to the hotel and have a good sleep.
Hu Jianye whispered: "An'an, what do you think people are chasing in their lives? No matter how ups and downs the process is, it will eventually return to a small square box."
Liu Jianan joked: "You actually still think about life?"
"This is not the first time I have experienced the death of someone I know!" Hu Jianye sighed, "Who would have thought that a few days ago, he was still so alive, and in the blink of an eye, there is only an urn left."
Liu Jianan pursed his lips, and a trace of contemplation flashed across his eyes.
When has he ever experienced the separation of life and death?
The book of superpowers records the deaths of many people.
But novels are novels after all, and things that have never happened are too far away for him.
Liu Jianan patted Hu Jianye's shoulder gently: "The dead cannot be resurrected, and the living must always live well. If one day, I unfortunately die, I hope you can be strong."
"Pooh!" Hu Jianye glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about, hurry up and spit with me to drive away the bad luck."
Unable to persuade Hu Jianye, Liu Jianan had to follow "Pooh".
After returning to the hotel from the crematorium, Liu Jianan noticed from a distance that someone was guarding the door of the hotel. He immediately became alert: "Old Hu, Sister Zhang, be careful, they are not good people."
It was not that he was suspicious, but the clothes of these two people were too suspicious. They wrapped themselves tightly in the hot summer, leaving only their eyes exposed. Who else could he suspect if not them?
Zhang Yaoyao thought it was another poacher, and anger rose in her eyes: "You came just in time, I was just about to settle accounts with them!"
"Sister Zhang, calm down, they have weapons, it is not suitable for a head-on confrontation." Liu Jianan hurriedly comforted.
He did have two guns in his backpack, but he did not bring them out.
In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, he chose to call the police.
The police came quickly, quickly surrounded the suspicious people and sent them into the police car.
The whole process was extremely smooth. So
smooth that Liu Jianan even had a little doubt: did these two people have no intention of resisting at all? Or did they never expect to be caught by the police?
His doubts were soon answered.
Half an hour later, he came to the police station as required by the police.
The moment he stepped through the door, a sad question suddenly rang out: "Liu Jianan, are you crazy? Why did you call the police to arrest me?"
Liu Jianan looked in the direction of the voice and recognized that the two people next to the police uncle were the two people who were squatting in the hotel.
After taking off the heavy black gown and veil, they didn't look like bad guys, but Liu Jianan had no impression of who they were after searching his memory.
The man next to him was calmer: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Yang Shu, and he is Xu Zhaoxin. We are sent by Duan Haiping to protect you."
"So it's you."
The characters in the novel confronted the two people in front of him.
Yang Shu, cold and taciturn, is a retired soldier with excellent skills and strong execution.
Xu Zhaoxin, slick, sociable, and good at communication, makes up for Duan Haiping's character flaws very well.
These two people are Duan Haiping's right-hand men.
How come they are here at the same time? He clearly asked Duan Haiping to stockpile supplies, didn't Duan Haiping do what he said?
Liu Jianan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to the policeman apologetically: "Uncle police, this is a misunderstanding. They are my friends. They probably heard that someone was killed here, so they pretended to come to me like this."
The policeman also knew about what happened in the hotel not long ago, and nodded: "In that case, you can go back. Don't go far away recently, and call us anytime if there is any situation."
After leaving the police station, Liu Jianan looked at the two men in front of him: "Tell me, why did Duan Haiping send you here instead of stockpiling supplies?"
Xu Zhaoxin glanced at him: "Mr. Duan has his own reasons for doing this. What you should do is not to guess his thoughts, but to go to Kyoto with us obediently."
"Oh?" Liu Jianan caught the point, "He asked you to take me to see him?"
With Duan Haiping's character, if he didn't trust him, he would not waste time to see him.
"So he has already stockpiled enough supplies?"
Xu Zhaoxin was stunned, secretly surprised. How did Liu Jianan know?
He thought that he and Yang Shu had been very secretive in stockpiling supplies.
How did Liu Jianan, who was far away in Yuncheng, know?
Did Duan Haiping tell him?
Xu Zhaoxin's mind raced, but his face remained calm: "The group is confidential, I can't tell you."
That's it.
Liu Jianan got the answer he wanted, so he ignored the two and prepared to go back to the hotel.
Xu Zhaoxin and Yang Shu, who had received the order, could not let him go easily.
"He is still at the door of the police station," he crossed his arms over his chest, frowned and looked at the two people blocking his way, "Do you two want to be detained again?"
Yang Shu said in a deep voice: "Mr. Duan invites you."
"You tell him that I have things to do in Yuncheng and can't go to Kyoto with you." After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Xu Zhaoxin winked at Yang Shu.
Yang Shu understood and slapped Liu Jianan on the back of the neck.
The pain came, Liu Jianan turned around with a dark face, covering his aching neck.
"I hate it most when others hit my neck!" He gritted his teeth.
Why do both of them like to sneak attack so much!
