Chapter 288 Death Crisis
Seeing Zhang Qi's subtly excited expression, Yan Wu didn't say anything more. Some things are better left unsaid; there's no need to spell them out.
After they finished speaking, Yan Wu and Yun Hao got up to say goodbye to Zhang Qi. Zhang Qi wanted to take them to another place for tea, but said, "Don't rush! Let's go have another cup of tea!"
Yan Wu smiled and waved his hand, "No need, I just had Da Hong Pao tea at Director Zhu's place! I don't want to drink it now."
Besides, Director Zhang, someone as busy as you must have a lot of things to do, right?
I won't bother you any longer; I have some things to take care of, so I'll be leaving now.
Zhang Qi knew that Zhu Bin was showing off his big red robe again. He was disdainful in his heart, but he smiled and said, "That's fine then. I'll go and get busy now. Let's get together again next time!"
"OK!"
"Shall I take you home first?"
Yan Wu shook her head and refused, "No need, I'm planning to walk around to digest my food."
Zhang Qi then looked at Wang Liang, who had remained silent, and asked, "So what do you plan to do? Are you going to go with Comrade Yan on business or come back to the bureau with me?"
Wang Liang said without hesitation, "I'll go with Comrade Yan to handle this matter."
Zhang Qi gave him a meaningful look, "Alright..."
After saying that, Zhang Qi left with his assistant and driver.
After watching their car drive away, Yan Wu smiled and looked at Wang Liang, "Let's go, Brother Wang, please come to my house as a guest today."
Wang Liang relaxed only after Zhang Qi left. Hearing Yan Wu say that, the familiar smile that Yan Wu and Yun Hao shared reappeared on his face. "Okay!"
The group walked and stopped frequently, and soon arrived at their lodgings.
During this process, Yan Wu and Yun Hao were particularly surprised to discover that although Wang Liang was usually unreliable, he was practically a human map.
There wasn't a single street in this city that he didn't know. He could walk into any alley and tell you where it led, and he could even tell you which shops and houses were on that street.
The most amazing thing is that he could even tell you roughly who lived in these streets, which was quite incredible.
Yun Hao couldn't believe that anyone was more sociable than him, so he went up to verify it a few times, only to find that what Wang Liang said was actually true.
Yan Wu and Yun Hao were now quite impressed with him. Such a person might not be very smart, but he could be surprisingly effective in certain areas.
Especially given the problems they're facing now, have they... struck gold?
As Yun Hao opened the door, he looked at Wang Liang with curiosity, "Brother Wang, you really are a hidden talent! I didn't realize you were so amazing."
Wang Liang, feeling rather smug from their amazed looks along the way, couldn't help but say proudly, "What's so special about that? I grew up wandering the streets and alleys of Haishi."
Back then, my dad's brothers would take me around the streets and alleys every day to do errands, and this went on for twenty years.
Later, when I grew up, I got that job of managing all the trivial matters in the streets and alleys. How could I not be familiar with it?
If you ran like me for decades, you could do it too.
Yun Hao chuckled mischievously upon hearing his words, "So, you're going around collecting protection money from door to door?"
Wang Liang waved his hand without turning his head, "That's not called collecting protection money!"
The moment he finished speaking, he realized what he had said and stiffly turned around to look at Yun Hao. "What did you just say?"
Yun Hao grinned mischievously and put his arm around him. Wang Liang's short and chubby figure looked strangely petite next to his tall and slender frame.
"Brother Wang, why are you being so polite with us? We've known for a long time that your father is the boss of bosses! Like Du Yuesheng, right?"
Wang Liang couldn't help but shudder. "You can't say things like that! How could I possibly compare to Mr. Du? I'm just trying to make a living..."
Yan Wu smiled and handed Wang Liang a cup of tea. "Brother Wang, please sit down and have a cup of tea! Although it's not as famous as Director Zhu's Da Hong Pao, it was given to us by our family, and I think it tastes even better than Da Hong Pao."
Wang Liang took a sip of the tea with a bitter face, and was immediately won over by its refreshing taste. "Good tea! The tea tree must be at least twenty years old!"
Yan Wu nodded approvingly, "Brother Wang really knows his stuff."
Wang Liang nodded modestly, "No, no, it's just that my dad likes this stuff."
“We can give the old man a jar, Brother Wang. There’s no time like the present, why don’t we do it today? We’d like to visit your home,” Yun Hao said with a smile.
Wang Liang's face immediately fell again. After struggling for a long time, he finally nodded with difficulty, "Okay..."
Yan Wu and Yun Hao immediately smiled and escorted him out, as if afraid he would change his mind.
Wang Liang's bulky body suddenly shrank, leaving him at the mercy of Yan Wu and Yun Hao.
After a while, Yan Wu and Yun Hao stared silently at the small, dilapidated courtyard in front of them. This courtyard...
Even pig farmers would find it too worn out.
Wang Liang's house is here? No way! Isn't Wang Liang's dad his older brother? His older brother lives in a place like this?
How can the underlings believe that following you will bring them a good life?
Wang Liang opened the rickety door. "We're here. Shall we go in?"
Yan Wu followed behind him, watching his movements with trepidation, afraid that he would pry the door off with a sudden burst of strength.
Yun Hao, without thinking, shook the antique wooden door. To his horrified gaze, the door crashed down, kicking up a cloud of dust...
Wang Liang turned around in surprise and was shocked to see the gate that had been with him for decades finally dying. He was completely stunned.
Yan Wu gave Yun Hao a reproachful look, but Yun Hao's eyes were full of apology. "Brother Wang, I will definitely make it up to you! I'll even renovate this whole yard for you!"
Wang Liang's entire body of fat jiggled as he trembled, stroking the dented door. "It's no use. This is a wooden door my old man made himself. He'll be heartbroken..."
No sooner had Wang Liang finished speaking than a sprightly old man rushed out wielding a watermelon knife, shouting, "Damn it, they've gone too far!"
Who! Who tore down my door?! Is this a challenge?!
"You wait, I'll call my brothers to kill you right now!"
Yun Hao instantly hid behind Wang Liang, Su Ji!
You predicted it, buddy, I'm about to die! Someone save me!
