Ye Ya frowned and said, "Brother Ma, you wrote a note to Chang Xiaobao, asking him to send someone to arrest Gu Tian, but you regretted it and came over to release Gu Tian."
Ma Yunfei was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Ye Ya to be so clever, capable of solving cases.
Ma Yunfei shrugged and said, "Ye Ya, I told you long ago that this guy is the town mayor's cousin, and I'm the town mayor's godson, which is why I call him uncle. Actually, I have absolutely no relation to him. Two months ago, this guy tripped me up and almost killed me. He deserved to die. How could I let him go?"
Ye Ya stared into Ma Yunfei's eyes and said slowly, "Brother Ma, are you afraid that offending this guy will backfire?"
Ye Ya is right, Ma Yunfei doesn't want to offend anyone.
If he wants to get rich, if he wants to be the world's richest man, he can't have too many enemies, especially he can't offend these scoundrels.
"Wild girl, stop being so paranoid. You can run away, but you can't hide forever. You'll be caught sooner or later."
Ma Yunfei and Ye Ya returned to the sales station.
That night, twenty or thirty horse-drawn carts delivered yams, and they were busy until two o'clock in the morning.
Ma Yunfei and his wife went to Baixing Restaurant with Ye Ya.
The young widow got up and cooked a few dishes. As they were eating, the abbot returned from City A.
Ma Yunfei quickly asked, "Third brother, did the trip go smoothly?"
"Boss, everything went smoothly. A total of 230,000 catties of yams. Oh, by the way, Xia Tian asked me to bring you a letter."
The abbot, being rather naive, actually took out the letter and handed it to Ma Yunfei right in front of Chen Yuyan.
Ma Yunfei felt somewhat embarrassed and apprehensive. If this was a love letter that Xia Tian had written to him, then things would be in trouble.
Ma Yunfei said, "Third brother, you've worked hard. It's just in time. We just finished our night shift and were about to eat. Why don't you come and eat with us?"
Ma Yunfei opened Xia Tian's letter and saw a line written on it: "Brother Ma, next time you deliver yams, come to City A so we can discuss the deep processing of yams."
After reading the letter, Ma Yunfei's anxious heart finally calmed down.
Thankfully it wasn't a love letter, otherwise, it would have caused trouble in my own backyard.
It seems that Xia Tian is a very clever woman. How could she let the abbot deliver love letters to her? That's impossible.
Chen Yuyan had heard of Xia Tian and knew that she was the daughter of the owner of Jiufa Company.
Chen Yuyan once asked the abbot, "Isn't Xia Tian quite pretty?"
The abbot said with longing, "Sister-in-law, Xia Tian is so beautiful. She's slim, smart, and has a dimple on her face."
Chen Yuyan then asked, "Does Xia Tian like your brother Ma?"
Although the abbot wasn't clever, he wasn't stupid either. He quickly said, "Sister-in-law, Xia Tian is still a virgin, while Brother Ma is a married man. Why would she like Brother Ma? Besides, she's from the city, and Brother Ma is from the countryside. They're not the same kind of people."
Chen Yuyan pressed on, "I heard that Xia Tian and your brother became sworn siblings?"
"Hehe... Brother Ma wants to build a relationship with Jiufa Company so that our yams can fetch a good price."
Although Chen Yuyan trusted Ma Yunfei, women are not very petty and are bound to get jealous sometimes.
When Chen Yuyan saw that Xia Tian had sent a letter to Ma Yunfei, she felt a little uneasy again.
She asked, "Honey, what did Xia Tian say in her letter?"
Ma Yunfei handed Xia Tian's letter to Chen Yuyan: "Wife, you can read it yourself."
Chen Yuyan took the letter, looked at it carefully, examined the front and the back, and even held it up to the light.
Ma Yunfei asked, puzzled, "Wife, what are you doing?"
"Honey, I've heard about the Yin-Yang correspondence."
Ma Yunfei asked in surprise, "What is a Yin-Yang letter?"
"It means writing a letter in ink on the surface of the world, and then writing another letter on the back of the letter with a pen without ink. This is called a letter in the dark. The letter in the dark can only be seen when held up to the light."
When Ma Yunfei first heard about the Yin-Yang correspondence, he asked in surprise, "Wife, you know quite a lot!"
"Hehe... I saw it in a novel. A man wrote a letter to his fiancée, but was worried that his future mother-in-law would read the contents of the letter, so he invented the Yin-Yang letter."
"Honey, is this letter a message sent between the living and the dead?"
Chen Yuyan shook her head and said with a smile, "Honey, I was just joking with you. Don't take it seriously. Actually, I've never doubted you at all."
Ma Yunfei thought to himself: If you didn't have any doubts, why did you stare at the light for so long?
After finishing their meal, the group took a nap at the Baixing Restaurant before heading to the sales agency.
Ma Yunfei's right eyelid kept twitching, making him somewhat uneasy. He said to Chen Yuyan, "Wife, my right eyelid keeps twitching. Is something wrong?"
Chen Yuyan said dismissively, "Honey, I stayed up late last night and my eyes are tired, that's why I jumped. Don't be so superstitious."
A thought suddenly flashed through Ma Yunfei's mind: Last night, Mayor Gu Le was not at home; he went to a meeting in the county. Could Gu Tian have taken this opportunity to sneak into the mayor's house, extort the mayor's wife, Liu Fei, and get the 50,000 yuan he wanted?
The thought made Ma Yunfei shudder.
Given Gu Tian's treacherous and cruel nature, he would definitely do such a thing.
Gu Tian has some martial arts skills; he can easily scale the wall of the town government compound.
Ma Yunfei was somewhat uneasy. The town mayor's wife, Liu Fei, treated Ma Yunfei fairly well; at least, she hadn't harmed him yet.
He thought for a moment and said to Chen Yuyan, "I'm going to the mayor's house."
As soon as Ma Yunfei left, Chen Yuyan quickly said to the abbot, "Third brother, your brother went to the mayor's house. I'm worried something might happen if you follow him."
The abbot slapped his forehead and said, "Sister-in-law, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten. The eldest brother had already instructed me to stay by his side at all times. I went to deliver the yams yesterday and completely forgot about it."
The abbot ran to the town mayor's house.
When Ma Yunfei arrived at the town mayor's house, he found the door locked.
According to Liu Fei's lifestyle, she usually sleeps in late and gets up around nine o'clock.
It's not even nine o'clock yet, where did Liu Fei go?
Ma Yunfei climbed onto the window and peered inside.
He suddenly noticed several wine bottles on the coffee table in the living room.
That's not right. The mayor doesn't like to drink, and neither does Liu Fei. So why are there a bunch of beer bottles on the coffee table?
Two weeks ago, Liu Fei ordered a case of beer from a store and asked Ma Yunfei to help her carry it back.
Liu Fei explained, "When it gets hot, your godfather sometimes gets tired and will drink half a bottle of beer. I'll drink a little with him."
Judging from Liu Fei's tone, even if the mayor drinks beer, he can only drink half a bottle.
But there's a bunch of beer bottles on the coffee table in the living room. What's going on?
Just as Ma Yunfei was puzzled, the abbot arrived.
