In the evening, Du Ruo returned to Sister Cheng's house, had dinner and washed his feet. He lay on the kang, wondering what to do.
It would not be possible to just collect 80% of the money like Yuan Tingchuan did. At that time, Yuan Tingchuan brought more people with him and had the upper hand in momentum. The boss himself had a strong aura and was confident enough, so no one dared to provoke him.
Don’t be fooled by the villagers’ cheerful and friendly attitude now. Once their personal interests are affected, they will not be so easy to talk to.
Besides, this place is different from the village at that time. That village was relatively isolated, and many families couldn't even save enough for a big unity. There were many people working outside here, and transportation was convenient. If she started collecting things in a big way, people would notice something was wrong. Not only would she not be able to collect the things, but she would also get into trouble.
Besides, Li Anze is already dealing with Tao Yong's matter urgently. If he acts quickly and someone takes the report seriously, someone should be here to investigate within a week.
When the matter is investigated, not only will I not gain any advantage, I might even get into trouble.
But now that we are here, it would be a pity to return empty-handed.
The next day after breakfast, Du Ruo went to the edge of Xiaohetuo. There were indeed some fragments and small beads scattered under the riverbed, but not as many as the villagers said.
The river water is very clear and not deep. Occasionally, small fish swim by. Du Ruo sticks his head up to look upstream. The river flows out from the mountains. The mountains are covered with lush vegetation, which creates a unique tranquility.
Du Ruo walked a few steps along the river bank. She didn't take out her cell phone because the signal was not good and it was useless in the village.
She glanced back twice, then suddenly smiled. She waved twice towards the deserted side of the avenue and said with a smile, "Come here, both of you."
After a while, two inconspicuously dressed people emerged from the nearby woods. They were dressed like ordinary workers, with a work cloth top, black pants, and a pair of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles.
The two looked at each other and walked to Du Ruo: "Mr. Du."
Du Ruo said coldly, "Thank you Mr. Yuan for your trouble! Where did you two sleep last night?"
One of the big guys scratched his head and said with a smile, "Hehe," "We are also staying at a fellow villager's house."
Are you following suit?
Du Ruo pointed to the path in the mountains and said, "It's said that if you follow this path up and turn a corner, you'll find a big locust tree with a small cave next to it. There's some scrap metal in the cave. You know what I mean?"
The tall man hesitated. "What do you mean? Should we go and take a look?"
The man with the flat head next to him said, "Mr. Yuan has given us orders, so we just need to follow you."
Does this mean that they don't care about her affairs?
Du Ruo smiled, but her tone was a little cold: "So you are only responsible for following me. I want to go up the mountain by myself. Your life or death is not within your scope of responsibility, right?"
This is definitely not the case. Du Ruo's safety is also within their scope of responsibility. If he gets bumped or injured, they will not be able to explain to Mr. Yuan.
The two bodyguards looked at each other and reached an agreement instantly.
The mountain road is steep. If such a delicate woman goes up the mountain and gets injured, they can't just ignore her. It will be more troublesome then. It's better for them to go there.
The tall bodyguard asked, "What does President Yidu mean?"
Du Ruo smiled and said, "I'm very interested in the junk in there. I don't think there's too much. Can you help me move it down?"
Just ship it back to my house. I won't be responsible for anything else. From now on, just follow me and I'll pretend I didn't see anything. You can even live in my house and I'll give you a salary. What do you think?"
After threatening someone, she also has to give him a sweet reward. She can't do anything to the boss. If he wants to send people to follow her openly or secretly, she has to endure it.
It would be better to make use of the waste. They are free anyway, so they might as well do some work for her.
The two of them went to the side to discuss it. This thing was actually doable. With their skills, it was just a piece of cake to move some things out of the cave on the mountainside.
It's not a good idea for them to follow others secretly, and it can be quite troublesome sometimes. If they can follow Mr. Du openly, it will solve many problems.
These tasks are easy and will save trouble for themselves. If they don't help, and Mr. Du goes to the mountains by himself, won't they have to follow him?
After the two men discussed it, they came back and said to Du Ruo, "We don't know what's going on in the mountains. Let's go together and try to get back as soon as possible. But Mr. Du has to promise us that you won't wander around. You should go back to Cheng's house now. We'll let you know when we have any news."
Du Ruo nodded in agreement. Since the other party was willing to cooperate, she was willing to cooperate too.
The two bodyguards were skilled in martial arts and climbed up the mountain very quickly. They disappeared from the mountain road in a moment.
Du Ruo walked home with a smile on her face. It felt good to recycle waste. After all, the boss was paying her for it, so she might as well not use it.
When she returned to Cheng's house, Sister Cheng had already gone to work in the fields. The yard was quiet. Du Ruo ran to the corner of the wall to look at the chicks in the chicken coop. They were furry and cute.
I heard someone in the yard next door say, "Do you think these things in our village are valuable? They say on TV that antiques are valuable, so why can't we sell these things in our village for money?"
"I don't think so. Didn't that relative from Old Cheng's family ask about this yesterday? Maybe it's valuable. It's better to keep it. We don't have to wait for the rice to cook at home. This thing won't rot or break. What if it's valuable? Wouldn't it be a scam?"
"You have a point. Just keep it. If it's valuable, it will be valuable sooner or later. If it's not valuable, just keep it for use."
"I think that woman is not simple. It's not just a casual inquiry."
Du Ruo sighed inwardly. Who said the villagers were fools? They were also smart. She had just casually asked a few questions yesterday, and these villagers had almost compiled a whole book overnight.
Fortunately, she didn't go to collect the things in a big way, otherwise she wouldn't be able to collect the things and would probably get into trouble.
When Sister Cheng went to work in the fields in the morning, she took her lunch with her and left some for Du Ruo. She planned to come back after finishing her work in the evening.
Du Ruo had some lunch at noon, had a good sleep, got up and walked around the yard twice. At around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the tall bodyguard came to Cheng's house to find Du Ruo.
He whispered, "There's quite a bit of stuff. Yuan Wu has already found a car to take it out. It's all wrapped up in cloth so no one can tell what it is. After we get out, our people will pack it up and ship it away. Don't worry, Mr. Du."
Du Ruo smiled and nodded. He was indeed the boss's man, and he was efficient in doing things!
