Before going home, the mother and daughter went to the convenience store as usual, intending to call Su Xiangnan.
But for the past few days, I haven't been able to get through on the phone; all I hear is a busy signal.
Meng Shuyun frowned, her face full of doubt: "I don't know what's wrong with your brother Xiang Nan. He should have called back after so many days. Could it be that he doesn't remember the village chief's phone number at all?"
The mother and daughter called not only the convenience store but also the village chief's house, but no one answered either way.
Logically, if Su Xiangnan didn't remember the number, then when they called, the other party should have left a message when they called back.
But now there's not a single word from them, which is really strange.
Su Xiulan couldn't help but worry and said, "Mother, didn't my brother-in-law go to Beijing to deliver goods? Why don't we ask Kang Shun to inquire about Xiang Nan's situation?"
Su Xiangnan would never go this long without contacting her family, and she felt uneasy and anxious.
After returning home, Meng Shuyun waited until Meng Kangshun came home from get off work, and then hurriedly told him everything.
Upon hearing this, the entire Meng family was extremely anxious and went to the village chief's house together, eagerly awaiting news by phone.
Meng Kangshun nodded with a serious expression and hurried to the village head's house to answer the phone and contact the cigarette factory. After some twists and turns, he got the phone number of the receiving unit and then inquired whether the convoy had arrived.
After understanding the situation, Meng Kangshun quickly thanked them, hung up the phone, and turned to explain to the anxious family: "My brother-in-law is unloading the goods right now. He will call us back after he finishes unloading. At that time, we will ask him to help us find my second brother."
At this moment, the entrance to the warehouse in Beijing is being gathered.
Zhou Xianye stood there, gazing at the neatly arranged warehouses before him, his eyes filled with awe.
He had never seen so many warehouses in his life, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lie, why are there so many warehouses here?"
The man called Brother Lie was the driver who was in the same car as Zhou Xianye. He had a cigarette in his mouth and looked like he was used to this. He blew out a smoke ring and said, "This is the warehouse transit point of the four famous families in Beijing. The warehouses are worth tens of thousands. If the master is in a good mood after this trip, our reward will be quite good."
Brother Lie seemed to be in a good mood and continued, "I'm going to take a break in a bit. I've been so bored this past week. You do a good job here. If I ever have any overseas assignments in the future, I'll call you."
Brother Lie trusted Zhou Xianye's driving skills completely. Throughout the journey, Zhou Xianye drove very steadily, and apart from occasionally getting lost, his driving skills were impeccable.
Zhou Xianye nodded hurriedly, like pounding garlic, and readily agreed: "Okay, Brother Lie, go ahead. I'll wait for you at the door after I unload the goods."
Upon reaching the designated location, Lie Ge went to relieve himself, while Zhou Xianye supervised the unloading process.
Before he left, Meng Shuyun specifically told him to talk less and do more.
Zhou Xianye stood there like a guardian deity, his eyes fixed on the workers unloading the goods.
Suddenly, a commotion came from outside the warehouse. Several men unloading goods were working while clicking their tongues and complaining, "They're here again, they're here again. We've been looking for them for days, and they still won't give up."
"They've practically turned the whole district upside down, but they still won't give up. They come every day, which is disrupting our work."
Zhou Xianye overheard their conversation, and although he didn't quite understand what they were saying, he was drawn to the commotion outside.
Several menacing-looking men rushed in, flashed their badges, and began aimlessly searching for something in the warehouse.
The men unloading the goods had to stop what they were doing and stand aside, looking unhappy and muttering under their breath:
"We've been searching for so long. If we could find it, we would have found it long ago. We're wasting our time here. We're paid by piece for unloading; if we move less, we earn less. It's really annoying that you come here every day to cause trouble."
Seeing this, Zhou Xianye quickly took out a few packs of cigarettes from his pocket, handed them out one by one, and asked with a big smile, "Brothers, what's going on? We can't unload the goods now, so why don't you have a cigarette and take a break?"
When the workers saw the cigarettes offered to them, they had no reason not to accept them. They all dropped what they were doing and went out of the warehouse to smoke, chattering away.
While smoking, he recounted the events of the past few days to Zhou Xianye.
It turns out to be a matter between the four major families. Although it is invisible and intangible, it really affects ordinary people like them.
Zhou Xianye heard the gist of the story and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the guy who was looking for someone.
With so many warehouses, finding one person is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
At this moment, a worker patted Zhou Xianye on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you seem like a decent person."
Unloading will take at least an hour. Turn left, then right, and you'll see a rock on the ground. Turn left again, and there are two more rocks there. Then turn right, and you'll go into an abandoned warehouse. We guys usually take a break there. You can also go there to relieve yourself or rest for a bit.
It's very well hidden there. Just watch out for the stones and markers under your feet, and be back on time.
Zhou Xianye thanked him repeatedly with gratitude.
After those people left, the workers went back to work one after another. He also went out to stretch his muscles after driving for a long time.
Following the workers' instructions, Zhou Xianye searched for quite a while before finally finding the abandoned warehouse.
As he walked, he muttered, "This place is so winding and chaotic, like a maze. I almost couldn't find it."
