Lian Xiaomin wanted to take action after dark. How could she get into the house in broad daylight with so many police officers watching her?
She pushed the cart and first found a nearby alley and turned into it. Seeing no one around, she slipped into the space. It was almost five o'clock now. It gets dark early in winter, so she just had to wait another half an hour.
She washed the eight lunch boxes she brought and filled the thermos with hot water, leaving them there for the time being and taking them out when she returned to the suburbs.
Lawrence Lu and Ma Hui didn’t have to wait for her to bring dinner, as she couldn’t leave for a while.
Just let those two people cook some noodles for themselves and don’t worry about them.
Lian Xiaomin ate a portion of roast goose rice that she had stored in the space and drank a cup of iced lemon tea. When she was full, it was already dark.
She was dressed in black from head to toe and put on a mask. She left the space and approached the alley where Yu Chong's yard was again.
The police officer who was patrolling outside also entered the neighbor's house, and the four of them started eating.
They agreed while eating that after the meal, two of them, Xiao Wei and Xiao Li, would go to replace the two colleagues guarding Yu Chong's house, and then stay there until early tomorrow morning.
Bring your guns with you. Be careful if Hong Nantian comes back.
Lian Xiaomin took advantage of the cover of night and sneaked to the Yu family's courtyard wall, climbing over the wall from the backyard.
She used her mental power to observe the people inside at all times. The two people on duty on the first floor were meticulous and sat on the sofa. The two single sofas were moved by them to the position under the window.
In other words, if someone looked in from the door, they would not be able to see them. It was relatively hidden, and they were facing the stairs.
Listen carefully to the noise upstairs, and if anything unexpected happens, rush to the second floor immediately.
Lian Xiaomin then went around to the back of the two-story building. She relied on the chain to climb up to the second floor, carefully avoiding the sight of the two people downstairs.
Hong Nanyue and Yu Chong were in the room with the two babies at this time.
Their four children were in the next room. The oldest brother, who was about ten years old, was reading picture books with his younger siblings and telling them stories.
Hong Nanyue looked worried and was mixing milk powder with water from a thermos.
As she filled the bottle, she said, "There's only one bag of milk powder left. I'm so worried. I haven't had any milk these days. What will I do when the milk powder is gone?"
Yu Chong held a baby in his arms and came over to comfort his wife.
"Don't worry, we are not in jail. If it doesn't work, I will talk to Comrade Lao Xue downstairs and ask him to help buy a few kilograms of rice. We have food coupons."
"Old Xue is a reasonable man. He won't make things difficult for the two babies... He can make some rice soup with it and feed it to Ping Ping and An An. That's fine!"
"Ayue, look at these two fat boys. They have a good appetite for everything they eat. We can gain weight by drinking rice soup. It's okay!"
Hong Nanyue couldn't hold it in anymore and suddenly put down the bottle, leaned on Yu Chong's back and started crying.
"Brother Chong, it's my family's problems that have implicated you. You've lost your job, despite having a promising future! The two little ones are always crying from hunger, and I don't dare to give them more milk powder. I..."
Yu Chong stood there motionless. He was wearing a light gray sweater and looked handsome and responsible. Instead of blaming A Yue, he continued to tell jokes and coax his wife to stop crying.
Lian Xiaomin, who was watching from outside, admired this man very much.
I thought to myself, Xiaohong has such a good family and such a good brother-in-law!
I have to help them.
She had already climbed up to the second floor, took off her mask, revealing her face, and gently knocked on the glass window.
Hong Nanyue and Yu Chong were both startled and immediately looked towards the window. After a few seconds of stunned silence, Yu Chong reacted first. He immediately stuffed the baby in his arms into Nanyue's arms and went to open the window himself.
He concluded in his heart that this must be someone sent by his brother-in-law, for sure!
As soon as the window opened, Lian Xiaomin tiptoed into the house and said in a low voice, "Don't make any noise. I'm Hong Nantian's friend."
The window was closed again and the curtains were drawn. Yu Chong stood in front of Lian Xiaomin with his tall body intentionally protecting his wife.
"Then how do you prove that you are his friend?"
Lian Xiaomin smiled, still quite alert.
"Two years ago, I gave him a batch of grain in exchange for your job as a driver. The 8,000 kilograms of low-priced grain was given to him by me. No one else will know about this, right?"
Yu Chong immediately breathed a sigh of relief. How could he have let anyone know about such a big thing? No one had told anyone.
And at that time, my brother-in-law did mention that it was a very reliable friend of his who gave him the food, and the girl was one of them.
It seems that the person in front of him is really Xiao Hong’s friend, not a trap set by the police.
"Girl, did Nantian ask you to come back this time?"
As soon as Yu Chong asked the question, Hong Nanyue behind her looked at her nervously.
Lian Xiaomin shook her head and said, "No, I just arrived in Shanghai from another place today. I went to Xiaohong's house and the black market to look for him. After asking around, I found out that something had happened."
"... Director Yu, I know that there are surveillance devices around your house to catch Xiao Hong. Do you know where he is hiding now? I can save Ping An and get away."
Seeing Yu Chong's hesitation, she thought for a moment and then continued.
"Xiao Hong moved six boxes of property to Hong Kong two years ago. Did he tell you about this? He asked me to take them over!"
"…I came to Shanghai this time specifically to see if he's in trouble, because he has a friend in Beijing named Ma who's already in trouble. If I can find him, I'll bring him and Ma Hui back to Hong Kong."
She shared this information to further prove that she is Hong Nantian's friend and can be trusted.
Just as he finished speaking, Hong Nanyue spoke.
"I know who you are. You are the boss of Qi Lin! Right? Last time, Li Heizi captured me and took me to the suburbs to threaten my brother. It was Lin Zi who saved me. A Tian told me everything in secret."
“…Although he didn’t elaborate on your identity, he did say that the other person was Ma Hui’s friend, so it’s probably you!”
Lian Xiaomin nodded: "Yes, Lin Zi is my brother."
Yu Chong looked at his wife, nodded, and spoke.
"Okay, I'll tell you. Xiao Hong has a hiding place that no one else knows about, so I estimate that it is probably there."
"… Five miles east of my father-in-law and mother-in-law's hometown, Yaojia Village, is Anfeng Village. There is a family with the surname Dai. The youngest son is a tractor driver named Dai Hongxing, and his father is Dai Decai."
"Hong Nantian saved his father and his mother's lives, but no one else knows about it... He must be hiding over there in the Dai family."
Anfeng Village to the east of Yaojia Village, with a red star, um, I’ve made a note of it.
Last time, she sent Duan Wenjin and her family to hide in Yaojia Village. Since she had been there before, she knew how to get to Yaojia Village.
