Hu Zi arrived at Wei Yuanting very quickly. He arrived not long after Lu Lingxi hung up the phone.
A large basket of grapes was lifted out of the car, and Mr. Su's eyes lit up immediately. "The grapes are grown well."
Hu Zi didn't know who the old man was, but seeing how familiar Lu Lingxi was with him, he immediately grinned with his white teeth. "That's right, the vegetables produced in our Yongchun vegetable greenhouse are absolutely guaranteed to be top quality."
Lu Lingxi was amused by his words and smiled, and asked Hu Zi and Er Fei to sit down and rest for a while. He went to the pet store opposite to deliver some grapes, and washed a few bunches for everyone to eat. Lu Lingxi came back not long after he left, and Dong Zhi was also attracted to come over. Dong Zhi was holding a few washed grapes in his hand, and praised them as soon as he entered the door, "How are these grapes grown? They are so sweet."
Hu Zi immediately repeated what he had just said, and Dong Zhi laughed. The two had met at the entrance of Micro Gardening last time, so they were not strangers and soon started chatting together.
Lu Lingxi washed two large basins full of grapes. The others ate and chatted, and they finished them all in a short while.
These grapes are just as "delicious and sweet" as Hu Zi said. Grapes were on the market some time ago, and Lu Lingxi bought them a few times. He didn't know if it was because he had a picky taste, but he always felt that most grapes had a bland taste of water, or were very sour, and few could be described as delicious. But the grapes that Hu Zi sent were different. The soft and glutinous flesh was paired with sweet juice. It was really delicious after taking a bite, and it made people want to have another bite.
Hu Zi said that the yield of the grapes they planted is not low, and they can't eat them all by themselves. Brother Feng plans to take a few baskets to the wholesale market in the evening to see how the sales are. Dong Zhi was very supportive and said, "Why go to the wholesale market? If you take them to the front street entrance, they will be sold out in less than half an hour." Several people laughed. Lu Lingxi reminded Hu Zi to collect the grape seeds as seeds. Hu Zi smiled and said, "I know. When the workers in the greenhouse saw that we were using seeds at first, they privately said that we were amateurs. Now no one says anything and they start asking where to buy the seeds."
When he said that, Mr. Su became interested. He found a small plastic bag and put some of the seeds they spit out, saying that he would go back and try planting them. Hu Zi sat for a while and then left without staying in the store. Mr. Su followed suit and wanted to leave. Lu Lingxi gave him a big bag of grapes, and the old man was not pretentious and happily accepted it.
After a while, Lu Lingxi had only half of the basket of grapes left that Hu Zi brought, and several small shops around had received his grapes. Lu Lingxi washed a few bunches of the half basket and kept them for Yan Yue to eat when he came back, and packed the rest into bags to take home in the evening.
While he was busy cleaning up, he picked a bunch of washed grapes and placed them in front of Dahei. Just now, when everyone was here, Lu Lingxi couldn't feed Dahei alone. Now that he was the only one left in the store, it didn't matter. Lu Lingxi touched Dahei's head and told him, "Remember to spit out the seeds."
Dahei called out softly and agreed.
When Fang Lei asked along the way and found Micro Gardening, he saw Dahei eating grapes and spitting out the seeds. He stood at the door, looking at Dahei with a smile and undisguised love.
Dahei recognized Fang Lei and called out in a low voice. Lu Lingxi, who was busy behind the cashier counter, heard the reminder and looked over a little embarrassedly. "Welcome, how can I help you?" The man was a man in his thirties, tall and very capable. Lu Lingxi thought about it and confirmed that he had no memory of this man, but how could Dahei say he knew him?
Fang Lei smiled at Lu Lingxi in a friendly manner, and his eyes fell on Dahei, "Dahei, do you still remember me?"
Dahei barked, turned around and rubbed his head against Lu Lingxi's leg. Fang Lei smiled and extended his hand to Lu Lingxi, introducing himself: "Fang Lei, from the Municipal Police Department, I came here specifically to find Dahei, and I want to borrow his help."
City Police Department... Lu Lingxi roughly guessed when Dahei knew Fang Lei. But he was a little hesitant about helping, "I wonder how Dahei can help Officer Fang?" What he actually wanted to ask was whether there would be any danger.
Fang Lei noticed Lu Lingxi's hesitation and was about to explain when Yan Yue came back from An Jie and was a little surprised to see Fang Lei.
"Why is Captain Fang here?"
"Mr. Yan." Fang Lei was worried that he and Lu Lingxi were not familiar with each other, and he was immediately happy to see Yan Yue. "It's a long story. I came to ask Dahei for help."
Fang Lei came this time for a smuggling case. A few days ago, a group of smugglers from the coastal area sneaked into Fengcheng. According to one of the people they caught, they smuggled live snakes, including two sacks of extremely poisonous cobras. This group of people is very cunning, and the one who was caught is just an inconspicuous little character among them, and he doesn't know much other information. Because the danger that cobras may bring is too great, the superiors strictly ordered them to solve the case within a week. Fang Lei knew the approximate destination of this group of people, but that place was a large market with a lot of people. In order to reduce the social impact, and also worried that these people would release cobras in a desperate manner, Fang Lei thought of using Dahei's nose to try and see if he could catch them within a certain range.
"Don't worry, we won't let Dahei rush over. We just want Dahei to help us identify the smell."
Before they came to find Dahei, they had already tried using the police dogs in the team, but the market was full of live poultry, seafood, vegetables and spices, and the smell was too mixed, causing the police dogs to completely lose their direction. Fang Lei thought of Dahei. The last time Lu Hongxin happened, Dahei left a deep impression on him. With the attitude of giving it a try, Fang Lei asked for the address of Wei Yuanyi and came directly.
He said it sincerely, and Lu Lingxi also felt that he should help, and he looked at Yan Yue hesitantly. Yan Yue nodded. Fang Lei was from Yecheng, and he was willing to help if it was not too dangerous. Yan Yue nodded, and Fang Lei knew that the matter was settled. He smiled heartily and promised: "It won't take too long. I will send Dahei back when you get off work."
Lu Lingxi felt relieved and touched Dahei's head and gave him some instructions for a long time.
Fang Lei found it interesting. He was always curious about how Dahei was trained. He thought Dahei was Yan Yue's dog. It was not uncommon for rich people to hire someone to train their dogs, so he didn't think much of it. Later, he found out that Dahei was not raised by Yan Yue, but by a well-known gardening store owner. Fang Lei started to get curious.
This time, he came to see that the gardening shop owner in the rumor was really young. He even suspected that Lu Lingxi was not yet an adult. After seeing how Lu Lingxi and Dahei got along, Fang Lei felt that something was wrong. The child probably didn't treat Dahei as a dog, but as a human being.
The man and the dog squatted there and talked for a long time, and Fang Lei couldn't help laughing. Yan Yue walked over and rubbed Lu Lingxi's hair lovingly. Lu Lingxi stood up a little embarrassedly and looked at Fang Lei, "Then I'll leave Dahei to you."
Fang Lei nodded and said solemnly: "Don't worry."
Dahei followed Fang Lei obediently. Lu Lingxi urged Yan Yue to wash his hands and gave him the grapes that Huzi had sent. Yan Yue was also a little surprised when he saw the grapes. They grew too fast. There was no one in the store at the moment, and Lu Lingxi had nothing to do, so he just chatted with Yan Yue.
He casually asked An Jie what he wanted to talk to Yan Yue about, and Yan Yue did not hide it from Lu Lingxi. "It's about Su Lang's research. Their organization is short of money and the research can't go on. Su Lang wants to raise venture capital."
The two have been together for a long time, and Yan Yue had already confessed his life experience to Lu Lingxi. Lu Lingxi also knew that Yan Yue had his own investment company outside.
"Then Brother Yan, will you invest?"
Yan Yue nodded and looked at Lu Lingxi with a gentle gaze, "Xiaoxi, don't you want to know the effect of the upgraded Dongling grass? If the research doesn't progress, wouldn't our Dongling grass be cultivated in vain?"
Lu Lingxi really wanted Su Lang's research to progress, but after Yan Yue said that, he was worried that Yan Yue would make an investment decision too hastily, so he immediately said, "Brother Yan, don't worry about Dong Lingcao. If this research..."
He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was clear. Yan Yue laughed, "Don't worry, this research is worth investing in. Even Hepu Group and Luke Group are interested. We have to work harder if we want to win."
Lu Ke Group is the property of the Zhongjing Lu family. Lu Lingxi was about to take the grapes when he paused and said hesitantly, "People from Lu Ke Group are also coming to Fengcheng?"
Yan Yue's heart was on Lu Lingxi, and he noticed his abnormality almost immediately. "Xiao Xi has also heard of Lu Ke?"
Lu Lingxi nodded and found an excuse for himself, "I took their medicine when I was in the hospital before, and the nurse told me about it."
His eyes wandered a little when he spoke. Yan Yue's judgment of the boy's expression was like an old movie that he had watched countless times. He only needed a background to know what the plot would be. Similarly, he only needed a look from Lu Lingxi to know that the boy was lying.
Yan Yue couldn't guess what the boy was thinking, so he continued as if nothing had happened: "Someone from Lu Ke Group came here some time ago and stayed in Fengcheng for only two days. Strictly speaking, the people who came here are not from the group, but from the Lu family."
Lu Lingxi said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions. He reminded himself in his heart that he was now the son of Wang Shuxiu from Fengcheng, not Lu Lingxi from the Lu family in Zhongjing. The affairs of the Lu family had nothing to do with him, and he didn't need to worry about them. As he looked like he had lost interest, Yan Yue naturally wouldn't continue to talk about the Lu family. However, Yan Yue was puzzled in his heart, wondering why the boy seemed to be concerned about the Lu family? A customer came into Micro Gardening, and Lu Lingxi quickly shifted his attention to greet him. Yan Yue's eyes followed Lu Lingxi closely, and he kept thinking about the boy's reaction just now.
North Suburbs Market
When Fang Lei brought Dahei over, plainclothes police officers were already scattered in every corner of the market. In an inconspicuous Jinbei car at the entrance of the market, Fang Lei's men were looking at the captured smuggler.
Without Fang Lei's instructions, Dahei came over and sniffed carefully, remembering the smell of the smuggler. Fang Lei looked at Dahei with appreciation, thinking that Dahei was really smart. He pretended to be walking the dog and took Dahei into the market.
It was just past noon, and the market was crowded with people. The noise was so loud that it gave people a headache. Dahei walked calmly beside Fang Lei, and from time to time he went to the roadside to sniff. Places like this are full of people of all kinds, so it's not a big deal if someone brings a dog. Occasionally someone would look at Dahei, and when they saw that it was a local dog, they lost interest.
The Beijiao Market is quite large. The outermost part is a row of small houses, some for business, some for living, and some for warehouses. It is very chaotic. Dahei's search focus is here. The man and the dog walked half a circle, and Dahei suddenly stopped, with a human expression on his furry face. He lowered his head and sniffed at the roadside. He didn't bark but gently bit Fang Lei's trouser leg. Fang Lei understood immediately and gave instructions calmly.
In a small house on the roadside, four men were playing cards together. Under the creaking wooden bed, four large woven bags were lying in a mess. The men were so engrossed in the game that no one noticed that one of the woven bags was bitten open, and a small black snake as thick as a finger and as long as a chopstick crawled out of it, gently clinging to the corner of the wall and trying to crawl towards the door.
The big black snake at the door suddenly became a little agitated. It wanted to shout, but realized that it couldn't shout in the current situation. It was originally squatting and its body arched, making a defensive posture. The small black snake in the house seemed to sense something when it was halfway through crawling. It hesitated and paused, turned around and crawled in another direction. It turned too fast, and its tail couldn't turn around for a while, and almost got tangled behind it. Just as it was about to crawl to the corner of the wall, the door of the small house was suddenly kicked open, and several plainclothes officers rushed in and pounced on the four men on the bed and knocked them down.
"Don't move."
The little black snake suddenly froze and didn't move.
A policeman pulled the woven bags under the bed out and was shocked to see a hole in one of the bags. "Team Fang, one of the bags is open."
Fang Lei looked serious, "What? Which bag is it? Ordinary snakes or cobras? Ask them how many snakes there are and see if the numbers match."
If a cobra escapes, the North Suburbs Market will have to be cleared.
The police officer who was questioning him obviously knew the seriousness of the problem, and he pulled the captured smugglers to question them in a low voice. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and reported to Fang Lei: "Team Fang is fine. The bag we opened contained ordinary snakes, which are basically non-toxic. And the number is correct, so it should not be lost."
Fang Lei was relieved. "Okay, let's contact the zoo and see how to deal with these snakes. Especially those two bags of cobras, they are really scary."
"Know."
The people checked again, and no one noticed the small black snake secretly clinging to the bottom of the bed. Dahei squatted at the door, staring at the bed vigilantly, until everyone left the room, it slowly walked to Fang Lei's side.
Fang Lei wanted to touch Dahei's head, but Dahei dodged by tilting his head. A policeman laughed secretly, and Fang Lei laughed too.
"How about Dahei? Will you follow us from now on?"
Fang Lei really likes Dahei. This incident further proves how powerful Dahei is. His nose can be called a radar.
Dahei called out softly and pulled Fang Lei's trouser leg to walk out. Fang Lei chuckled, "Want to go back? Okay, I'll find someone to take you back first, and then thank your master tomorrow." He then asked a policeman who had seen Dahei last time to take Dahei back to Micro Gardening first. The policeman readily agreed. Dahei watched Fang Lei order someone to lock the house, and finally took a look at the small house, and followed the policeman away.
Fang Lei also led his men to retreat.
Inside the room, there was a slight "snap" sound, and the little black snake couldn't hold on and fell off the bed. After a long time of dizziness, the little black snake slowly moved to the door and swam to the north along the bushes.
