She worked hard in the laboratory for several days and had no time to think about the people far away in Guangzhou.
On the third day, Huang Run informed her of the missing persons' case via intercom. Luckily, they hadn't been able to send the missing persons away yet. Because their families had promptly alerted the police, the public security authorities had staked out the missing persons at the train station and other stations, preventing them from escaping.
After hearing the news, Xia Youyou breathed a sigh of relief and worked even harder on her work.
She lived and ate in the laboratory and had no idea what happened between her brother and the man in Guangzhou.
The three people who should have been on their way back were now hiding on a mountain near the Xiangjiang River in Pengcheng.
The three of them were a little dusty and dusty. They were hiding from the people chasing them from Xiangjiang and holding their breath in a cave.
The time goes back to five days ago.
Before coming, they called the factory to ask them to prepare everything, so when they arrived on the afternoon of the 3rd, they were just there to receive the goods. When they arrived at the lychee mountain, they found that all the lychees had fallen and rotted on the ground.
The three of them were very upset. Why didn't they collect them all last time? So they ran to Longan Mountain with a fluke mentality. Fortunately, there were still longans. They picked them and took them back to see if Xia Youyou would have another idea.
They spent a day collecting all the longans from the mountain into their space. Canned lychees were selling well, and the three of them felt that the fruit business was a completely cost-free business. They were even more excited to collect the longans, thinking they could be canned.
Xiao Hai saw that the two of them had climbed to the top of the tree, and he could only stay low, feeling very depressed. He also wanted to climb up and take a look.
Unfortunately, he had no space, so he could only cut the longan and throw it on the ground. He was afraid that it would break if he dropped it because it climbed too high, so he could only cut it low.
We harvested until midnight, rested where we were, and the next day, we found a mountain of seasonal fruit: pomegranates, peaches, and plums. Finally, we finished harvesting and unexpectedly found some late-ripening lychee trees. We stored them all in our space, exhausted but happy. And so, another day passed.
I rushed to Pengcheng overnight and met up with Uncle Wang, only then did I learn about the construction situation here.
With Zhong Sheng's protection, the Anhai Construction Team did not encounter much trouble. Instead, they felt like a fish in water and were treated with courtesy everywhere.
After confirming that nothing was wrong here, the three of them unanimously decided to sneak across to Hong Kong to have a look. Since they were going to Hong Kong, they had to contact Zhong Sheng.
After saying hello to Uncle Wang in the afternoon, I went to Zhong Sheng's territory.
Cao An looked at Zhong Sheng, who was still as enthusiastic as before, and could not feel any contempt in his heart. How could such a person, who had become the leader of a gang in Hong Kong, be just an ordinary person?
"Brother Zhong." Cao An stepped forward and shook hands with him.
"Brother Cao, when did you arrive?" Zhong Sheng knew that they had returned to the capital before, but he didn't expect that they would come again after a month.
Qi Siling and Xiao Hai also stepped forward, shook hands with him and greeted him.
"Well, you northerners are really tall. This one is almost two meters tall, right?" Zhong Sheng looked at the three people who were about the same height. They were almost a head taller than him! He sighed in his heart. Who said that people in the inland areas can't afford to eat? How can they grow so tall if they can't afford to eat? Who spread this rumor?
The three of them had no idea what Zhong Sheng was thinking. After he sat down, Cao An finally explained his intention.
"Brother Zhong, we are here to trouble you for something."
"You say." Zhong Sheng became serious when he saw his serious expression.
"We'd like to go to Hong Kong this time. I wonder if Brother Zhong has any ideas." Cao An pulled out a dozen Da Tuanjie cigarettes from his bag and placed them on the table. "Brother Zhong, take these and buy cigarettes for the brothers."
Zhong Sheng looked at the money being handed to him, feeling surprised. This dozen was worth a thousand yuan! It was hard to imagine someone in the mainland could casually come up with so much money, especially to buy him cigarettes! If he wasn't pretending, then he really had the money.
And obviously, they are the latter!
He returned the money and said, "Brother Cao, you are looking down on Brother Zhong. How can I take money from you for doing a favor between brothers?"
Cao An shook his head and pressed the money he was about to push over. "We all know the rules of the underworld. Brother Zhong can't help us and then pay for cigarettes for us brothers out of his own pocket, right? We would feel bad about that."
I have to say that Cao An's words were very well-spoken, and this sentence made Zhong Sheng feel very comfortable.
He laughed heartily and stopped refusing. "Alright! I recognize you as my brothers. I, Zhong Sheng, won't hide anything from you! You can go to Hong Kong, but the toll is indeed quite high. I'll take the money. Come to my place again tonight and I'll take you there myself."
That was the decision, and the three of them returned to Uncle Wang's residence, waiting to meet up with Zhong Sheng at night.
Qi Siling glanced at the sky. It was October, and it was still hot here, but autumn had already arrived in the capital. He wondered if the girl would feel cold when she slept at night.
As soon as it got dark, the three of them ate something with the workers, packed up and went to Zhong Sheng.
When Zhong Sheng saw them coming, he didn't say anything, just nodded, and went straight to Luohu River with another henchman.
"Do you need to exchange money over there?" Zhong Sheng and Cao An walked forward parallel to each other, with Qi Siling and Xiao Hai following behind.
Cao An nodded, "Brother Zhong, do you have it now? I can trade with you."
"Yes." He opened the bag he had been holding. "Here are 10,000. Change as much as you need. If it's not enough, I'll get more for you when we get there."
The three of them glanced inside, their faces showing no signs of confusion, but a wave of anxiety welled up in their hearts. They hadn't expected Zhong Sheng to casually take out ten thousand, and if it wasn't enough, they could still exchange it over there.
Cao An didn't bother to be polite and took out some money from his bag and gave it to him. "Brother Zhong, this may not be enough. We only need 5,000."
