Jun Jing made the whole lie more convincing, as if he would visit other researchers' cities and homes later.
"Oh, so, then I'll ask my son..." the old woman almost muttered, "Mingzhu, hurry up and take the leaders to the town guesthouse! Aren't you good friends with the receptionist at the guesthouse? Ask her to get some nice rooms for the leaders!"
Li Mingzhu didn't want to pay any attention to this old woman. She knew nothing and just gave blind orders.
But yesterday, her father asked her younger brother Li Yongqiang to come and pick her up, but she didn't want to leave. It was so hard for Xu Cong to finally leave here, and it would be best if he never came back!
Li Yongqiang said that something might happen to the Zhang family, but even so, she was still unwilling to leave!
Li Yongqiang told her to watch her mouth and not be too arrogant, at least wait until the storm has passed, and finally told her that Xu Cong had disappeared in Jing City and her relatives, the Xu family, might have been found.
Li Mingzhu didn't care at all whether Xu Cong had found his family or not. She just wanted her to not come back and live under the same roof with her! It would be best if she could completely disappear from this world!
She was completely obsessed with love and always believed everything Zhang Lei said, anything...
Bai Lu chatted with Li Mingzhu on the way, but in fact, she was subtly provoking her, "Those who are willing to help out at a relative's house should be given some subsidies, right? How much money does the Zhang family give you every month? Are the salaries of the Zhang brothers and sisters enough for the family?"
"What do you outsiders know? What's not enough? We in Yaocheng have big money-making events, and every family has enough money!" Li Mingzhu thought, these people came from above to inquire about Zhang Huan's work. She said that her family has no shortage of money, so they should approve the money for Zhang Huan!
Jun Jing noticed this. Is there something big going on in Yaocheng that can make money?
The control during this period could not be said to cover every nook and cranny, and it was inevitable that there would be incidents where the county magistrates were not as good as the current ones. Even in later generations, similar incidents occurred one after another!
Bai Lu also noticed something was wrong.
Wasn't the village she'd been taken to earlier, where human trafficking was rampant, an example of this? The villagers were lying to each other, and outsiders had no idea what they were doing!
But what exactly do these people in Yaocheng do to make money?
Eating, drinking, gambling, whoring, smoking? Cheating, deceiving, stealing?
I wouldn't resort to prostitution, but gambling isn't very realistic either.
Suck?! Or cheat? Steal?
"I just saw two children outside and another in the house. Did the Zhang family adopt three children? Zhang Lei and Zhang Huan work hard to support such a large family and still have a prosperous family background. They are indeed well-off! It seems that Zhang Lei and Zhang Huan work very hard every day!"
Bai Lu deliberately exaggerated the contributions of Zhang Lei and Zhang Huan, "You must have enjoyed a lot of blessings with them in the Zhang family, right?"
Li Mingzhu was stunned and began to think about this problem.
Did she enjoy a good life in the Zhang family? She had given birth to three children for Zhang Lei over the years, and her life in the Zhang family was pretty good, at least better than those of the neighbors.
But it's not entirely true that she's enjoying a good life. Although she bosses Xu Cong around every day, everything is based on her asking her father to give her money every month. She and Zhang Lei still can't get a marriage certificate...
Bai Lu saw the expression on Li Mingzhu's face and continued, "Zhang Huan must have a very good relationship with her sister-in-law. Otherwise, why would she bring her sister-in-law with her for such a big event as going to Beijing?"
Li Mingzhu showed a hint of sarcasm on her face, but her mind was still clear at this time and she didn't say much.
Bai Lu continued to deceive, "Our base, the main people coming here this time, the purpose is to investigate the Zhang family thoroughly. After Zhang Huan stays at the base, we will bring her family members to Beijing for talent introduction and assign them similar jobs, which is equivalent to a transfer. When they go to Beijing, you may not be able to follow us. You can't work for the Zhang family in the future, you have to make plans in advance!"
After asking a few questions, Bai Lu grasped Li Mingzhu's pain points.
Hit the snake at its most vulnerable part!
He said that all the Zhang family members would go to Beijing soon, but he couldn't take her with him because she was not a member of the Zhang family!
Bai Lu said this deliberately to anger the woman, but in fact she was also venting her anger for Xu Cong, who actually had nothing to do with her and was not very close to her. After all, they were all members of the Xu family, and if they were offended outside, they naturally had to get back at each other!
"Everyone's going to Jing City? Why can't I go?!"
Bai Lu laughed and said, "You're the Zhang family's helper, but all our company can offer is for all relatives to move to Beijing. How can we bring our helpers along? What's more, you say you're helping, but in reality, you're just following the same old routine and finding a lackey! I don't say it, but I know it in my heart!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! I'm not a slave of the Zhang family. The Zhang family depends on me."
When Li Mingzhu said this, she subconsciously realized that she seemed to have said something wrong. Not far away, a person was staring at her with a ferocious expression. Who else could it be but Li Yongqiang?
If Li Mingzhu was detained at this time, they would definitely be able to find out something, but Jun Jing and Bai Lu did not order anyone to be detained!
The two of them now discovered that they were being watched invisibly!
Everyone on the street was staring at them like surveillance cameras!
When Bai Lu followed Li Mingzhu's dazed gaze, Li Yongqiang was no longer there.
"The house is clean! I went to help!" Li Mingzhu finished the unfinished words, but her heart was beating so fast that she didn't want to stand here anymore and just wanted to fall to the ground.
She had never felt this way before. Her heart was beating fast, but she also felt panicky.
"You're just too picky. Don't worry, we're only concerned about whether Zhang Huan embezzled the project funds. As for other things, even if we knew about them, we'd just treat them as gossip."
Bai Lu laughed, but Li Mingzhu didn't say another word.
There are three rooms available in the guesthouse.
Bai Lu and Jun Jing live in one room, the other three live in pairs in one room, and the other one lives alone.
As soon as the couple entered the room, they immediately entered the space.
"There's a problem with Key City."
"There is indeed something wrong with the Zhang family!"
The couple expressed their thoughts together.
"You speak first." Bai Lu sat on the sofa in the space cabin.
"Have you noticed that the people in Yaocheng are so united? I didn't notice it when we first entered the city. I thought they were staring at us because we were outsiders and were carrying gifts. I just realized that they were monitoring us. Lulu, we have to find a way to pass the news back to Jing City. I'm afraid the situation in Yaocheng is not something we can solve just the two of us!"
