“Da Tou, I’m going back to Hangzhou to visit my family tomorrow. I’ll bring Xiao Wan with me tomorrow morning, and I’ll take her back to Hangzhou to find her relatives. This has already been a week’s delay. I wonder how worried her family is?” Ning Zhiheng said to him with a smile after he had put the money away.
“Okay, Xiao Wan is such a good girl. To be honest, my wife told me these past two days that if we can’t find Xiao Wan’s family, we’ll raise her as our own daughter. She really treats Xiao Wan like her own child.” Liu Datong was stunned for a moment after hearing Ning Zhiheng’s words, then quickly agreed!
Ning Zhiheng smiled and said, "You're already reluctant to let her go after just a few days! She's someone else's daughter. If you can't handle it, just have another one and hold her every day!"
Liu Datong was amused by these words, thinking that his wife would complain when he got back. He also felt increasingly fond of this well-behaved girl. He thought that it might be a good idea to discuss it with his wife again and have another daughter! But what if they had another naughty boy?
"Big Head, I'll be back in about seven days this time. During this time, get a feel for what's going on on the streets, especially those rickshaw pullers. I've found that their profession is very important. It would be best to gather a few of the leaders together. If they can act as our eyes and ears, it's worth the money!"
Ning Zhiheng valued the rickshaw pullers highly. The capture of Yanagida Yuki and Huang Xiansheng was largely due to the clues provided by the rickshaw pullers. He felt that if these people were used well, it would be like having many more pairs of eyes, which would definitely be of great help to his future work.
After listening, Liu Datong realized that Commander Ning was looking for some undercover agents. Many police chiefs would keep a few street thugs around to act as their eyes and ears. But no one would keep rickshaw pullers.
However, he knew that no matter how difficult it was, he couldn't say no to the tasks assigned by Commander Ning.
He nodded immediately: "Don't worry, I'll handle this. There's a rickshaw company called Yunlai at the entrance of Loumen Alley. I heard the owner say the other day that business is bad and he wants to sell the company. I'll find a brother to take it over. Isn't that a ready-made informant?"
"Okay, let's do it this way! Money is no problem. Liu Yong also contributed this time, so I think we should make him the manager. Tell him it's my reward for him." Ning Zhiheng was very happy to hear this news. It's better to be lucky than early. The opportunity was rare, and money was really not a problem; he had plenty of spare cash.
"Then I'll thank Boss Ning on his behalf!" Liu Datong joked. Liu Yong was his childhood friend. He didn't have a formal job and his family was indeed struggling financially. If it weren't for Liu Datong's frequent help, his family would be having a hard time.
He never expected that Commander Ning would take a liking to him. It was a rare opportunity, and he was genuinely happy for his brother!
"Approximately how much will it cost?" Ning Zhiheng then asked.
"It shouldn't be much. The land for the car dealership is rented; we'll just keep paying rent. The only valuable things are the rickshaws, which are all old and worn out. They should cost around 500 yuan in total!" Liu Datong calculated on his fingers. "The money you gave me this time is enough. I'll arrange for Liu Yong to handle this matter tomorrow!"
After explaining everything and agreeing to meet at the train station the next day, the two parted ways.
When they arrived at the train station the next morning, Liu Datong and his family were already waiting in the waiting room.
Liu Datong's wife was a typical, simple-looking woman from the South. She held Xiao Wan in her arms, her eyes still red, clearly having just cried.
Xiao Wan was also leaning against her, sobbing intermittently. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the two of them were crying in each other's arms!
There were two boys, slightly older than Xiaowan, standing nearby, who also looked reluctant to part with her.
When Liu Datong saw Ning Zhiheng arrive, he stepped forward and said with a wry smile, "This whole family couldn't bear to part with Xiaowan and insisted on seeing her off, so I had no choice but to bring them all along!"
These past few days, the well-behaved and adorable Xiao Wan has quickly integrated into this ordinary family. Over time, they have come to regard her as one of their own. They never expected that they would have to part ways with her again. Even the two older brothers are extremely reluctant to part with their little sister.
Ning Zhiheng's arrival stopped Liu Datong's wife and Xiao Wan from crying, and they both quickly stood up.
These days, Liu Datong's wife listens to her husband's constant nagging, saying that he has received the favor of an important person and that life will only get better from now on.
When she saw him with her own eyes today, she saw that he was dressed in a Zhongshan casual suit, clean and neat, with a handsome face that was slightly immature, especially his clear and bright eyes. He was no important person at all, but a well-mannered young student!
She didn't know what to say, she just looked at Liu Datong.
Ning Zhiheng stepped forward with a smile and said, "This must be your sister-in-law. Thank you for taking care of Xiaowan these past few days."
Liu Datong's wife was at a loss for words and kept saying, "No trouble at all, no trouble at all!"
Holding hands with Ning Zhiheng, Xiao Wan looked at him timidly, not daring to speak. They had met once a few days ago on Beihua Street, but had not been able to see each other since. She was still a little shy around Ning Zhiheng.
"Xiao Wan, Uncle is taking you to see your mom and dad today. You'll be able to go home soon. Aren't you happy?" Ning Zhiheng gently stroked Xiao Wan's forehead, trying to keep his tone low and speak softly.
Xiao Wan nodded obediently, but her little hand gripped Liu Datong's wife's hand tightly again. She was still a little scared, wondering where this uncle was going to take her next.
This squeeze brought tears to Liu Datong's wife's eyes again. Ning Zhiheng felt somewhat embarrassed. Liu Datong stepped forward and glared at his wife: "You ignorant woman, all you do is cry, cry, cry! How many times have I told you at home? You're still like this here!"
