The man was startled and quickly crouched down to hide behind a tree. Fortunately, the car was just passing by and sped away, and the surroundings fell silent again.
A few minutes later, the figure climbed out of the window, carrying two backpacks.
"How about it?"
"Probably a few hundred thousand!"
"So many? This kid really is a thief!"
"Don't worry, his money isn't clean, he definitely won't dare to report it to the police. You can put your mind at ease."
"Damn it, if that kid on the train hadn't been so ruthless, we wouldn't have bothered with him. Don't blame us, blame his distant relative for letting it slip."
"Stop talking, this isn't the place, let's go!"
The two men crouched low and darted across the road, disappearing into the darkness of the night. Only the security camera installed on the small villa remained on duty.
An hour later, a car pulled up in front of the villa. A woman got out of the passenger seat, took out her keys from her pocket, and complained, "Were you throwing a tantrum at the meeting again today?"
"No, I just let out all the anger I had been holding in."
"Release him? You can't fight city hall. If he's not yours, don't be angry. Things are fine now. It's been so long, the die is cast. Can't you just wait for him to be transferred?"
The two opened the door while talking. The man seemed unhappy and said, "Women, mind your own business," before going upstairs. As soon as he got upstairs, he saw that the safe door was wide open.
"Holy crap!!"
With a shout of curses, the man rushed forward, only to find the place completely ransacked.
"What's wrong now? Is this what you call calming down?"
"A thief broke into the house!"
"What?"
The woman screamed and ran upstairs. Seeing that the safe was empty, she sat on the bed, somewhat lost in thought.
How much money do you want?
The man ignored him and continued rummaging through the contents.
How much does it cost?
"More than 300,000 yuan, that's nothing, the account book is lost."
"What ledger?"
"What ledger are you talking about? Go check the surveillance footage!"
The two looked at the surveillance footage with great frustration; it had only happened a little over an hour ago.
"Don't call the police. Let it go. It's better to lose money than to suffer any more trouble."
"These two must be found."
"Stop making a scene, stop causing trouble. This year's commotion has taken a toll on my heart."
"I don't know if these two are here to steal the ledgers or the money. If they're here to steal the money, then we don't need to worry about them. But what if..." the man said with a grim expression. "I'll make a phone call."
"Hey, is this Ke Bing...?"
Lu Feng called Jiang Xiaoyan to inquire about Duoduo's situation and chatted about the factory. She was overjoyed to hear that it was doing quite well and had recently earned tens of thousands of yuan.
Jiang Xiaoyan's parents called, hoping she could spend the Chinese New Year at her mother's house this year. Jiang Xiaoyan asked Lu Feng what he thought.
Lu Feng didn't want to go, and he didn't even want to go home for the New Year. He felt that the New Year had just passed and the New Year was coming again. It was still a long time before the New Year, so he put the matter aside for now.
After chatting about family matters and hanging up, Lu Feng called Zhang Fengxia again, asking her to keep in touch with the team in Shenzhen, as the situation here was not very stable.
"What happened?"
"It's hard to explain in a few words, it's a trap, so let's leave it at that for now. I'll be back in a day or two." Lu Feng asked about the operation of the new department and then hung up the phone.
Sitting on the sofa, somewhat dazed, Lu Feng sighed. He had rushed over in such a hurry, only to end up like this, which was quite frustrating. He had already decided to leave. There's no such thing as a free lunch, and everything that had happened here made him uneasy.
Before leaving, I thought about what else I needed to do, and suddenly remembered that I had picked up someone on the road. I also needed to go back, so I gave the person some money to take Bai Meihua back. That would be helping her to the end.
After leaving the house, he knocked on Ye Wusheng's door. The door opened, and Ye Wusheng asked, "President Lu, you're still up? What's up?"
"Where has that girl been placed?"
"Uh..." The other person looked like they suddenly realized something and hurriedly said, "They've been staying in the room next to yours all day."
"knew!"
Lu Feng arrived at the door and knocked. Bai Meihua's voice came from inside, sounding somewhat nervous.
Who is it?
"It's me, Lu Feng. Would it be alright if you opened the door?"
The door opened, and she was still wearing her original clothes. She looked at Lu Feng somewhat awkwardly and said, "Come in."
"It's so late, aren't you asleep yet?" Lu Feng asked, noticing her woven bag next to the TV cabinet. "Have you had dinner yet?"
"have eaten!"
"Well... it's like this, I was originally going to take care of some business and stay here for a few days. I was thinking of making arrangements for you after I finished. I promised to get your wallet back, but I couldn't find it, so it's my responsibility. But then something unexpected happened, and I have to leave in a day or two. Here's some money for you to buy a sleeper ticket back," Lu Feng said, looking at her.
Aren't you going back?
"I went straight to Shenzhen."
"Then...then..."
"Then it's settled." Lu Feng stared at her and said, "See you tomorrow, get some rest, goodnight."
Lu Feng left his room and stood at his door when he heard the phone ringing inside. He quickly opened the door and went in to answer it.
Hello, who is this?
"Mr. Lu, what's wrong? Did the talks not go smoothly?" Liu Quan's voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's me, Liu Quan!"
"Hello, Vice Mayor Liu, it's so late, are you still awake?" Lu Feng sat down with a happy expression.
