At the time, the Red Letter Revolution was raging, and even though the people of the Johor Bahru brigade just assigned them work, they didn't care about them anymore.
However, he couldn't openly appear at the Johor Bahru brigade headquarters often, so he would usually just deliver something and leave.
Moreover, since he's entered the black market business, he still needs to run business and find connections.
Sometimes, he also has to go out, so he can't take care of them all the time.
Four years ago, those who initially dragged the Chu family down with them discovered that the Chu family might rise again with Chu Mingxu alone.
Those who feared retribution later began to target Chu Mingxu and his in-laws relentlessly.
They even told Grandpa and Grandma Chu about it.
After seeing the news, Grandma Chu was afraid that her grandson would be bullied in the den of wolves and tigers.
More importantly, his grandson is in the army, where an accident could happen at any time that could kill him.
But she also knew that serving in the military to protect the country was her grandson's dream.
She didn't want to persuade him to back down, so she could only worry about him silently.
Later, he finally fell ill because his body couldn't take it anymore.
After receiving the news, Chu Mingxu disregarded his superiors' attempts to persuade him to stay and was determined to retire from the army.
After that, he came here as an educated youth to take care of his grandparents nearby.
Cheng Hao then focused on his career, of course, without Chu Mingxu giving him any instructions.
If Chu Mingxu needs his help, he will immediately drop everything to help him.
Just like this time, he was summoned to Anbei County by a phone call.
While continuing to explain to Cheng Hao, Chu Mingxu kept an eye on Shen Mu Ning out of the corner of his eye.
"Haozi, all you need to do is find his trail. Don't rush into anything else."
Cheng Hao was puzzled and was about to ask Brother Xu what the next step was.
If he had known about his plans, he would have definitely gotten involved.
The person Chu Mingxu would specifically call to investigate must be involved in something bad.
Although he has already retired from the military, his patriotic and righteous heart will never change.
"I only started investigating because I didn't know what was going on behind his back."
“There was a young educated youth from our settlement who seemed a bit off, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.”
"He happened to come to the county town today, so I wanted you to help me look into it."
Cheng Hao understood immediately; this person didn't know his purpose or whether he had anyone backing him.
He nodded to indicate that he understood, and then put the portrait in his pocket.
"Okay, Brother Xu, I'll go find someone to check first. Let's have lunch together."
Chu Mingxu glanced at Shen Mu Ning and saw her walking out of the county town. He left her with only one sentence: "Next time, I have something to do."
Without giving Cheng Hao a chance to react, they walked away.
He was left standing there, scratching his head, looking in the direction Xu Ge had gone—wasn't that the train station?
Does he mean he has something to do and needs to go back to work?
Since they couldn't have a meal together and catch up, he decided to finish what Brother Xu had asked him to do.
Two flowers bloom, each representing a different branch.
After the two lookouts fell, Shen Mu Ning walked slowly towards the outskirts of the county town.
Only after reaching the spot where the two had fallen did they quickly cross the low bushes by the roadside and enter the forest.
“Master, these two idiots are just bragging here, they haven’t been keeping watch at all.”
As she approached, the bloodthirsty vines began to coil and wrap around her wrist.
He even complained to her that the two lookouts weren't paying attention.
"Alright, let's ignore them and go into the mountains to take a look."
Perhaps because of its proximity to the county town, there were no dead branches or fallen leaves on the mountain.
It's estimated that people from the county town often gather firewood on this mountain, which is why there's so little grass on the ground.
Shen Mu Ning's mental energy remained focused on Deng Kai and the others in front of her, listening intently to see if they were speaking.
She had only gone a short distance into the woods when she heard Qian Zhuang's voice.
"Deng Kai, how much longer do we have to walk?"
He originally thought that the people who brought the goods would make the deal with them in some secluded place in the county town.
Who knew the transaction would take place outside the county town, and so damn far away!
This is a complete waste of time. I should have known better than to join in this fun.
Deng Kai glanced at the scene ahead and said dismissively, "Brother Qian, don't worry, we're almost there."
How did someone who can't even walk this short distance become someone the higher-ups value? I really don't understand.
Deng Kai walked ahead and secretly rolled his eyes at his brother, realizing for the first time that people from Liaoning Province didn't have good eyesight.
Not only did they cause trouble in Liaoning Province, requiring them to seek refuge in Anbei County, but now they don't even have that much patience.
Qian Zhuang realized that the man was just giving him the runaround, so he stopped talking.
Shen Mu Ning, who was following behind, couldn't help but complain: "Xiao Teng, what do you think about what they're saying about the people or things at the top?"
"You're just spouting nonsense, but I still have to listen carefully."
The Bloodthirsty Vine felt helpless; wasn't it the master's own decision to follow them?
Why would she bother tracking them when she can hypnotize people anytime to get the information she wants?
It's time-consuming and laborious, and you might not even get the desired results.
Shen Mu Ning realized that she indeed lacked the help of those in power.
She hypnotized several people, and they learned all the information at once.
But she was powerless to do anything about what to do next.
Every time I hear them talk about superiors, Deng Kai's superiors are obviously in Chunshi.
With a little effort, she could find the person.
As for Qian Zhuang, his superior was in Liaoning Province.
Moreover, they belong to the same organization, so what about the other people in the organization, especially the leader?
Can she deal with them all? Obviously not at the moment.
Just as Shen Muning's thoughts were wandering, the seller finally appeared within the range of her mental energy.
There were several people dressed in very simple, or rather, very poor, clothes, with four snakeskin bags at their feet.
After she used her spiritual power to penetrate the pocket, she saw that the pocket was full of bronze artifacts.
Shen Mu Ning had never seen the market before and could not distinguish the type, dynasty, or value of antiques.
It is quite clear that bronze ware originated in the Xia Dynasty and flourished in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.
These will be priceless treasures in later generations.
"Why did it take you so long to get here?" one of the sellers complained as he saw Deng Kai and his group arrive.
The leader pulled him behind him before speaking.
"Boss, my subordinates are being inconsiderate. I'm so sorry."
The person who just spoke was a greenhorn; he'd never been to a trading venue before.
He didn't know the capabilities of these people; they even had guns, so they weren't simpletons.
He actually dared to talk back to people. If I wasn't afraid he would get involved, I wouldn't care about him no matter what.
Deng Kai wasn't a good-tempered person either, and he originally intended to teach him a lesson.
But Ding Zuo, who was leading the group, was the tomb raider they had worked with the longest.
He even apologized so tactfully, and since he urgently needed these antiques, he decided to let him off the hook for the time being.
"Alright, enough with the chit-chat. Let's inspect the goods first, then we'll discuss the price."
