Chapter 158 Too Big an Appetite



Xu Xiangyang took out a bottle of baijiu and poured it for Yan Laosan.

You can't be without your own drink either; once you've had some, you can start talking, right?

Sure enough, after drinking a cup of wine, Yan Laosan started talking more.

"Brother, it's only because of you that you still think of me even when I'm in trouble," he said with emotion.

Since the grain depot fired him, none of the people there have contacted him again.

In the past, when we had time off, we would get together or go out and find some odd jobs.

Now that he's gone, no one comes looking for him anymore.

This truly made Yan Laosan experience firsthand what it means to be forgotten once someone leaves!

Xu Xiangyang understood that, regardless of the era, relationships between colleagues were always weaker than other relationships.

Don't be fooled by their friendly, brotherly relationship; when you need them, they'll back down first.

If you resign, that's even better; nobody will recognize you anymore.

If you're doing well, you might still greet each other when you meet. If you're not doing well? Then go somewhere cool and don't make yourself unhappy.

"Third Brother, if anything happens in the future, just tell me. Don't keep things to yourself." He patted Yan Laosan reassuringly.

That's how human relationships are; you may be sincere, but others may not be.

When Yan Laosan left in the afternoon, Xu Xiangyang gave him a packet of tea.

This was promised to him, and he was told that he could come to work tomorrow to familiarize himself with the business.

Xu Xiangyang doesn't need to worry about this part; Wang Zhongshan will naturally take care of him.

Wang Zhongshan had already become familiar with the place by now, so bringing someone along wouldn't be a problem.

Since the eldest grandson was able to bring the person home, he must be someone we can trust.

The next morning, Yan Laosan came over looking embarrassed, while Xu Xiangyang gave him some instructions and went to work.

Wang Zhongshan will take care of the rest, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

Xu Xiangyang arrived at work. A lot had happened in the past two days, and he couldn't concentrate on his work. He spent all his time keeping an eye on Director Liu.

The main problem is that Liu Feng keeps giving him trouble, which is a bit annoying.

If we don't cause them some trouble, they'll really think we're easy to bully!

Xu Xiangyang knew what was going on and wanted to find an opportunity to see what Director Liu would do.

He'd been keeping a close watch for the past few days, listening to the bug every day. At first, nothing happened, and Mr. Zhang didn't go to see Director Liu.

But these past two days, Master Zhang has been going to talk to Director Liu, especially about that Mr. Lü mentioned before, which has gradually come to light.

Xu Xiangyang fell into deep thought. It turned out that this Master Lü was the group of people who had hijacked their car before.

They can rob about twice a year, not counting vehicles belonging to other organizations.

How much money will they make?

Judging from Director Liu's words, it seems that after the robbery, 70% of the loot will be sent back to him.

That's really surprising, their appetite is too big!

If Director Liu gets so much stuff at once, who will sell it for him outside?

Xu Xiangyang was a little surprised. Things seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and he was starting to lose control.

This gang may have more than just Master Lü in it; there may be other people involved.

Xu Xiangyang frowned. He wasn't exactly a champion of justice, but Director Liu and his father kept targeting him. This had to be resolved.

But what should we do? Without evidence, it's not acceptable; that's a problem.

He thought for a moment and decided he still needed to take a look at Director Liu's iron box, otherwise he would be clueless.

Only by knowing what's inside that metal box can we know what to do next!

Xu Xiangyang knew that he couldn't delay any longer this time.

Under the cover of night, he sneaked into Director Liu's office, put the iron box into his spatial storage, and then returned the way he came, going straight home.

If this box is pried open, it will definitely be discovered, so it's better to just take it and leave any evidence behind.

When Xu Xiangyang got home, he glanced outside and saw that everyone was already asleep.

He turned off the lights, locked the door, and entered the space.

The metal box lay obediently on the table. He tried to open it with a wire, but it wouldn't budge.

It seems that the only option left is to demolish it by force; there's no other way.

After disassembling it with various tools, the first thing you see is a row of small yellow croakers.

Xu Xiangyang didn't look at it much; after shoving it open, the documents underneath came out.

There were more than twenty documents in total, and it took me more than an hour to review them.

"What a fucking dog!" Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but curse.

For the past ten years, Director Liu has been in contact with two robbers, one of whom is a man named Jin Ye whom he met in Haicheng.

The other one is Master Lü. The two of them worked with Director Liu for about two years at a time.

One lasted eight years, the other ten.

After so many years, it's easy to imagine how much wealth Director Liu has accumulated—far more than most people could ever imagine!

Xu Xiangyang couldn't believe that the director of the grain bureau could do so many heinous things.

But these are clearly not enough as evidence!

He needs to find out where Director Liu is hiding his assets. Even if he can't really bring him down, he can at least crush him into a pulp!

Xu Xiangyang stroked his chin. This time he had to keep a close eye on the person. If the box was lost, Director Liu would definitely be nervous.

Once he slips up, I'll follow him and I'm sure I'll find something.

He put everything back into the box and then left it in the space.

This is the safest place to put your things; it won't be safe no matter where you put them.

Xu Xiangyang tidied up, took a shower, and then went to sleep.

He was half asleep in the middle of the night when he heard a loud knocking on the door.

"What's wrong?" He sat up, his eyes still closed.

"Xiangyang, your mother is about to give birth. Your father took her to the clinic. Why don't you go with her and see her?" Wang Zhongshan's voice rang out.

Actually, he wanted to go by himself instead of asking Xu Xiangyang, but Granny Wang couldn't be left unattended.

Although Xu Guangtian could manage on his own, she was his own daughter, how could he possibly leave her unattended?

So, he had no choice but to come and call Xu Xiangyang.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangyang immediately sobered up, got up, put on his clothes, and went out.

"Grandpa, you stay home with Grandma, I'm coming right now." He didn't care about anything else, just threw on a coat and ran out.

She gave birth before her due date; she was at least a month premature.

Xu Xiangyang didn't know what was going on either, so he could only hurry over there.

It's already autumn, and the nights are still particularly cold.

On the way, he found another bicycle, rode it very fast to the health center, put it directly into his spatial storage, and then headed straight for the obstetrics and gynecology department.

"Xiangyang!" Xu Guangtian waved to him as soon as he saw him arrive!

"How is it?" Xu Xiangyang asked, "Have they gone in yet?"

Xu Guangtian nodded. "It's been quite a while now."

He was a little nervous. Who wouldn't be nervous when their wife is giving birth?
