Time passed by, bit by bit.
Li Xiangdong stretched and said, "I agree. Can I leave now?"
Men Shifang nodded. "Okay, but you must keep this matter a secret, understand?"
Li Xiangdong made a zipping motion on his lips to indicate that he would definitely keep the secret.
Men Shifang saw Li Xiangdong off as they walked out, chatting as they went, "Consider the three million worth of goods and the gold as your pledge of loyalty. Once you've made contributions to the organization, you'll receive even greater rewards than those."
Li Xiangdong didn't have any objections, mainly because he understood that any objections would be futile.
"Oh, right, there's also your little sister. She lives alone in Yanjing. Such a young and pretty girl is bound to attract attention! I'll have someone secretly protect her in a bit, so don't worry!"
Li Xiangdong's eyes darkened, but he smiled and said, "Alright, then my sister's safety will depend on Boss Men."
Men Shifang affectionately put his arm around Li Xiangdong's shoulder, "We're all family from now on, no need to be so polite!"
...
When Li Xiangdong was brought to the ground by Men Shifang, and he turned around to look at the dilapidated, dirty two-story unfinished building, a strong sense of unreality welled up in his heart.
The stark contrast between light and darkness, good and evil, left him deeply unsettled.
Men Shifang's men drove Li Xiangdong straight to the Baiyanghe Food Factory branch to pick up Li Jin and Wang Zhenbo, and then the three of them took a car back to Huichuan County.
The person who had been following Li Xiangdong only called Men Shifang after Li Xiangdong went home to rest.
"Boss, Li Xiangdong didn't contact anyone. He just brought his father and the village accountant back to the village."
Men Shifang hummed in agreement, then continued, "Keep monitoring him, don't stop! Pay special attention in the next few days to see if Li Xiangdong has any contact with the police."
"I understand, boss! But what if he calls or pages the police?"
Men Shifang: "..."
“Some things can’t be explained over the phone, so if he’s going to turn against us, he’ll definitely have to meet with the police. Just keep an eye on things and report any signs immediately.”
"clear!"
Although he thought he was hiding it well, little did he know that his little trick had already been discovered by the patrol team of Lijiapo.
Seeing that he was squatting in front of Li Xiangdong's house, Li Kang ordered the young man to knock him unconscious, then tie him up and send him to the brigade headquarters.
As soon as Li Xiangdong returned, he learned about the kidnapping of Old Madam Jiang, which made him extremely anxious.
They were relieved after seeing that Grandma Jiang only had a minor injury on her neck.
Fortunately, my master didn't lose his life, otherwise he would have been unforgivable!
Li Xiangdong was now feeling a bit regretful. He had originally thought that with just Niu and Ma and the Xue family father and daughter, the four of them wouldn't be able to cause any major trouble.
So he simply replaced the sleeping pills in Xue Yuyu's hand beforehand, and then notified everyone to pretend to be unconscious on time, so that the Xue family father and daughter could escape.
As for the Xue family father and daughter going to Old Lady Jiang's house to dig for gold, that was also within Li Xiangdong's expectations.
Now that he has figured out the relationship between Jiang Li and Xue Ran, Jiang Li must have told Xue Ran about the large sum of gold that Old Madam Jiang still had a long time ago.
With him and Li Jin away from home, and the remaining men and women in charge of the household all drugged and unconscious, Xue Ran would definitely not be able to resist making a move.
To capture Xue Ran, Old Madam Jiang would inevitably be in danger, so Li Xiangdong had Li Guoqing, who was skilled in martial arts, protect her secretly.
He originally wanted Zhou Hongsong to go as well, since Zhou Hongsong's kung fu was even better than Li Guoqing's.
However, Zhou Hongsong's wife, Qiao Xiaohuan, suddenly went into labor, and since there was no one at home, he could only take his wife to the hospital first.
That's why I missed tonight's good show.
At daybreak, Qiao Xiaohuan successfully gave birth to a daughter.
Zhou Hongsong brought his parents-in-law to take care of his wife and children, while he rushed back to Lijiapo.
He and Li Xiangdong arrived one after the other.
When Zhou Hongsong learned that Grandma Jiang had injured her neck, he felt extremely guilty and slapped himself twice.
"I'm such an idiot! I should have let my in-laws take Xiaohuan to the hospital! I should have stayed to protect my master!"
Li Xiangdong quickly grabbed Zhou Hongsong's wrist, "I underestimated them! I thought that during the National Day holiday, I could easily handle those four people by myself, but no one expected that a traitor would infiltrate the police force!"
The only tricky thing now is that Hao Feng's last bullet hit He Xiaohong's heart!
Dr. Gu had previously given He Xiaohong century-old ginseng slices to suck on, which kept her alive. Now He Xiaohong is still being treated in the hospital's emergency room!
Li Guoqing seemed frozen in place, sitting motionless in front of the ward.
Li Xiangdong stepped forward to comfort him, "It's not your fault, you've already done very well."
Li Guoqing's eyes were bloodshot, and he remained unmoved no matter how Li Xiangdong tried to persuade him.
Li Xiangdong could only sit beside him and wait.
The two waited for more than six hours before the red light in the operating room finally went out.
The doctor came out, and Li Xiangdong and Li Guoqing quickly went up to ask, "How is the patient inside?"
The doctor shook his head heavily. "We've done our best. The patient should be waking up soon. If you have anything to say, go inside and talk."
Li Xiangdong's heart skipped a beat, and he saw that Li Guoqing's face was deathly pale!
The two rushed to the operating room.
Li Guoqing entered first and sat directly next to He Xiaohong.
He reached out and carefully touched He Xiaohong's hand that was outside.
