"I'm just keeping an eye on one person."
The debtor spoke helplessly.
Zhang Desheng feigned ignorance: "Who knows if what you're saying is true or false, or what your intentions are towards our village, you monkey..."
Lao Lai immediately grabbed Zhang Desheng's leg in a panic. He and Ai Mingyuan had so many different considerations. He used to be a traveling peddler, but after some changes, he found a way to make a living with his skills.
Someone of his status, upon closer examination, is now classified as one of the lowest of the low. If Zhang Desheng sends him to the commune, he'll be finished.
"I'm really just keeping an eye on one person, brothers, lend a hand. Besides, I'm not even watching anyone from your village, you really don't need to..."
The monkey had already seen through Zhang Desheng's expression and grinned shamelessly, "Brother, how can we believe you if you don't tell the truth..."
Finally, Lao Lai couldn't hold back any longer and told him what he knew. But he was just someone who was paid to do things, doing what he was told. What could he possibly know? He only knew that someone had sent him here to keep an eye on Shi Lingheng...
"I...I don't know why I'm being asked to keep an eye on people..."
As he said this, his beady eyes darted around, and Zhang Desheng kicked him: "Hey, still trying to play tricks on me? Tell me the truth..."
The deadbeat clutched his chest: "I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"
Waaaaah, he's having such a hard time.
Is it easy to risk your own life?
"I don't know too much about the specifics, but I do know that someone is going to try and make a fortune from Shi Lingheng. Who wouldn't like to make money? Of course, I want a piece of the pie too..."
Zhang Desheng opened a breach by targeting the debtor, while Ai Mingyuan, who was being interrogated, was also nearing his breaking point.

Fan Xiaofan returned to Qingcheng precisely because of the trouble caused by Ai Mingyuan's affair. The small county town was in a state of panic, and if you took a few extra steps on the street, they would investigate your entire family history.
Ai Mingyuan never gave any details, so the people in charge of the commune naturally treated it as a very serious matter.
After enduring a round of questioning, Fan Xiaofan finally returned to the textile factory. Upon reaching the gate, he asked somewhat strangely, "Why is the inspection so strict?"
The security guard, being a natural-born employee, couldn't possibly be unaware of something this big. His eyes lit up immediately: "It's all because of the Xiangyang Brigade; they caught someone acting suspiciously..."
Fan Xiaofan exclaimed in surprise, "Is everything alright?"
The gatekeeper immediately puffed out his chest: "What could possibly happen? Everyone's got a strong fighting spirit. They were cornered the moment they met up tonight."
Fan Xiaofan didn't have time to go back to the textile factory to settle things. Worried about the situation at Xiangyang Brigade, she pushed her car out and headed there...
Liu Fang and Gu Wenyan hurriedly followed.
In the past, when Fan Xiaofan strolled around the Xiangyang Brigade, they usually wouldn't follow him, but after hearing what the gatekeeper said today, they felt uneasy...
Back in the village, I hurried to the Fan family's house and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the little dumpling in the yard, all healthy and well.
Seeing her flustered appearance, Lu Zhixi asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Fan Xiaofan shook his head and said, "I heard something happened in the village, and I'm a little worried..."
Lu Zhixi waved her hand. "What happened? It's that thing Ai Mingyuan caused a while ago..."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine..."
She brought a glass of water from the kitchen and gestured for Fan Xiaofan to drink it to soothe her throat. Her face was flushed from the heat, and the weather made it easy for her to get heatstroke.
