"Has Lu Jiajie lost his mind? He quit his job and went to Yangcheng. Does he really think there is money to be made in Yangcheng? Jiaguang, he does things without thinking, why don't you stop him?"

Lu Jiaguang waited until he finished his temper before saying, "Uncle San, Jiajie is here to help. The conditions are pretty good, 500 a month, working until the New Year, and if you make money you'll get a bonus equal to your salary."

Lu Hongjun was so angry that he said, "Lu Jiaguang, is there such a thing as a free lunch in this world? If you are paying such a high reward, you must be doing something shady."

Lu Jiaguang knew that he couldn't keep this a secret for long, and he would know it soon. Rather than being scolded later, it would be better to tell him now: "Uncle San, it was Xinxin who invited Jiajie."

"Don't worry, Xinxin just wants to make a batch of shoes to sell. It's just that she's not in good health and can't stand the tiredness, so she asked Jiajie to help."

Lu Hongjun said angrily: "Didn't you say Jiaxin was in the ancient capital? Why was she in Yangcheng? When did she go to Yangcheng? Why didn't you tell me?"

Lu Jiaguang was silent for a moment and said, "As soon as Xue Mao left the ancient capital, she went to Guangzhou. But she didn't let me tell you, saying that if you reveal her whereabouts, she would not report her safety to me in the future, let alone tell me her whereabouts."

“Beep, beep, beep…”

The phone suddenly got busy, and Lu Jiaguang thought he was angry and hung up. He was angry, there was a cause and an effect, and he didn't deserve sympathy for protecting the mother and daughter without caring about Xinxin's feelings, and now he is facing backlash.

After a while, Lu Hongjun called again: "I just asked a friend, Lu Jiaxin went to the bank to report the loss and took all the money in the passbook."

Lu Jiaguang really didn't know. But now it seems that this girl had already planned to go to Guangzhou before going to the ancient capital, and it was not a sudden decision. Maybe she wanted to buy a batch of goods and make a fortune. She wanted to do something big after getting a huge sum of money from selling ancient paintings. Yes, it must be like this.

Lu Hongjun said, "There's only over 9,000 in the passbook, but she promised to give Jiajie a salary of 500 a month. Lu Jiaguang, are you hiding something from me?"

Lu Jiajie is sentimental. If his daughter needs him, he will go to help even if he doesn't charge a penny. But Ma Lili is different. She must be sure that Jiaxin can afford the money before she lets him take a leave of absence. That girl has a total of 10,000 yuan on hand, and she dares to pay Lu Jiajie 500 a month, which is not in line with common sense. So, there must be something he doesn't know.

Lu Jiaguang said: "Uncle San, it's not that I want to hide it from you, it's Xinxin who won't let me tell you."

Lu Hongjun was furious: "She is ignorant, and you are not sensible either? Is business so easy to do? By then, she will have lost all the dowry her mother left her, and she will have to hide at home and cry every day."

After returning from the ancient capital, this girl not only spoke harshly to Jingjing, but also used him as a father without any affection. If her appearance had not changed, he would have suspected that this was not his daughter.

No matter how angry he was, Lu Hongjun couldn't just leave it alone: ​​"Tell me, what's going on?"

"If you don't tell me, I can still find out by asking someone, but it will take some time. Lu Jiaguang, doing business is not as easy as you think. Yes, many people who go to Yangcheng make money, but more people fail there, and some of them can't even be found."

Seeing that his tone had softened, Lu Jiaguang told him about the ancient painting.

Lu Hongjun was so angry that he laughed: "What? You believe that I found an authentic work in an antique market? Give me her phone number and I'll call her."

Lu Jiaguang said, "Uncle San, I know what you mean. It's impossible. Even if we want to give her the things left by Aunt San, we must wait until she comes of age. Also, I asked Xue Mao, and he said that it was bought at the antique market. At that time, they were planning to buy some small ornaments to decorate the new house. Jiaxin saw the painting and thought it was unusual, so she spent more than 80 yuan to buy it."

Lu Hongjun asked doubtfully, "Did you really find it at the antique market?"

This reason convinced Lu Hongjun, and he said coldly: "Why didn't you tell me such a big thing? She asked you not to tell me, and you really didn't tell me? Do you know how chaotic it is over there? She has so much money on hand. Once people know about it, she will be a fat sheep that can be eaten at any time."

Lu Jiaguang's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly said, "Xinxin's money is in the bank, and she has people protecting her. Jiajie and Jiazong will be here in two days, so there's nothing to be afraid of with so many people around."

Hearing that the money had been deposited in the bank, Lu Hongjun felt relieved: "What's her phone number? I'll call her."

Lu Jiaguang said that he did not have Lu Jiaxin's phone number: "Xinxin always calls me. I will remind her the next time she calls me."

"Tell her to call me."

Lu Jiaguang was silent for a moment, but still told the truth: "Xinxin doesn't want to contact you."

Lu Hongjun suppressed his anger and said, "I also have a few friends in Yangcheng. If you encounter any difficulties, you can ask them for help."

After saying this, he remembered something: "She has been in Yangcheng for so long, has she ever been to your aunt's house?"

"I didn't ask about that. I'll remind her next time she calls me."

In fact, Lu Hongjun's worry was not unnecessary. On the night that Lu Jiaxin moved into the rental house, a thief broke in. However, as soon as he entered the yard, he was subdued by Gu Wenfeng.

When Lu Jiaxin heard the noise, she came out of the house and saw three thieves with their hands and feet tied and their mouths stuffed with rags. She asked in confusion, "Aren't we currently carrying out a law and order rectification? How dare these people be so bold?"

Gu Wenfeng clapped his hands and said, "People die for money, and birds die for food. The three of them think they are more than enough to deal with us. After they succeed, they will hide, and it will be difficult for the police to catch them."

The more the population moves, the harder it is to catch criminals. Now we don't have Skynet like in later generations, and it's hard to catch criminals who change their names after escaping.

Lu Jiaxin was really scared this time: "Brother Gu, can you, can you stay a little longer? It's so messy here, I won't dare to sleep at night if you leave."

Knowing is one thing, and experiencing it personally is another. If Gu Wenfeng hadn't discovered that he was being taken advantage of by these three thieves, he wouldn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Gu Wenfeng had thought about this problem a long time ago. He said, "I know someone who is better at fighting than me. But he has a bad temper and likes to curse people. He also has to eat meat for every meal."

"What's his character like?"

Gu Wenfeng smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. His character is fine. If he agrees, he will use his life to protect your safety."

As long as she can be protected, it doesn't matter if she has a bad temper or loves to eat meat.
