Chapter 203 Night Visit to Fu Huayun's House
Lin's mother shouted breathlessly, then instructed Lin Erlang and Li Xiaoxian, who came out after hearing the noise, "Second brother! Brother-in-law, you two tie this bastard up tightly! Take him to the police station as soon as it's light!"
Upon hearing that he was to be taken to the police, the man, ignoring the excruciating pain in his leg, struggled and collapsed to the ground, begging for mercy with tears streaming down his face:
"Auntie! I was wrong! I was really wrong! I'll never do it again, please, just let me go. I have an eighty-year-old mother to support and a baby boy crying for food. If I go to jail, my whole family will starve to death, sob sob sob..."
"Spare you?"
Lin's mother, leaning on a fire poker, sneered: "If we let you go, who will let us go? We were prepared today, which is why you suffered a setback! If we weren't prepared, would you have robbed us of everything and killed us all?!"
Lin Erlang shone his flashlight directly on the thief's face, which was covered in snot and tears, and his eyes suddenly turned cold—he recognized this man!
He's Zhang Ergou, the town's notorious thug! He's a petty thief, a bully, and a scoundrel who does all sorts of evil!
He was able to find his way here, so someone must have given him directions... otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to find their house so accurately.
Lin Erlang lowered his head with a gentle smile on his face, but his toes were on the edge of the animal trap that was deeply embedded in Zhang Ergou's leg bone, and he slowly ground it...
"Hiss—!" The man let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.
"Don't want to go to jail? That's fine too."
Lin Erlang's voice remained gentle, but his eyes held an icy glint: "However... you have to tell me, who sent you here? And how did you find my house so quickly? If you dare to tell a single lie..."
He pressed harder on his feet: "I guarantee your fate will be a hundred times worse than those bastards from the Revolutionary Committee."
The man was in so much pain that his vision blurred; how could he dare to hide it? He cried out intermittently:
"It's...it's our boss! Fu Huayun! He said...that the Lin family in Da Ge Ba Village...extorted...extorted a huge sum of 3,500 yuan from the Revolutionary Committee! After this job, the brothers will be able to live a life of luxury for a long time! Waaah...I...I really don't know anything else!"
Lin Baozhu and Lin Erlang exchanged a knowing glance. She stepped forward, her voice coaxing, "Where does your boss, Fu Huayun, live? How many men does he have under him? What shady dealings are you up to? Tell us, and we might let you go as you're redeeming yourself."
Upon hearing there was a way out, the man grasped at a straw and poured out everything he knew:
"The boss... lives at No. 3, Fujia Lane, at the east end of town! He has... about a hundred brothers! He... he has three mistresses and nine kids! The secret... he... he's had blood on his hands! More than one! Recently... he's acquired a batch of 'hard stuff' to sell..."
Lin Baozhu's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this! Good heavens! She had thought it was just catching a few petty thieves, but she hadn't expected to catch such a big fish in the sea! If they could wipe out the whole nest, it would be a huge achievement! Maybe they could even follow the trail and catch an even bigger fish!
Then... you'll be rolling in bonuses.
but……
Lin Baozhu, stroking her chin, looked at the man's deathly pale face, a thought flashing through her mind. A pill silently appeared in her palm. She roughly pried open the man's mouth and shoved the pill inside—this was her stepping stone to promotion and wealth! He couldn't die now!
After swallowing the pill, a trace of color quickly returned to the man's deathly pale face. Lin Baozhu leaned closer and warned in a low voice:
“When you get to the police station, just tell the truth! If you leave out a single word, I’ll make you wish you were dead! However, as long as you have a good attitude in admitting your guilt and are willing to do good deeds, the police will naturally give you a lighter sentence.”
After saying that, she stood up and said to Lin's mother, "Mother! I'm going to the bureau!"
"no!"
Lin's mother grabbed her arm, her face full of worry: "It's pitch black! Those bastards might be lurking on the road! How dangerous would it be for a young girl like you to run into them?"
"Bumped into?" Lin Baozhu's lips curled into a cold smile. "It's good that we bumped into each other! It saves me the trouble of searching, and I can catch them all at once!"
"Mother, please let her go."
Don't sneak out at night...
Lin Erlang pushed up his glasses, his gaze behind the lenses meaningful: "You know how capable our Baozhu is, even if others don't. Those bastards are incredibly unlucky to have run into her! Alright, hurry back, be careful, and don't alert 'others'."
Lin Baozhu's heart skipped a beat: Goodness, her second brother's tone... could it be that he has guessed what she is planning to do?
"Second brother, I...I just went to report a crime!"
Lin Erlang's lips curled into a knowing yet mischievous smile: "Otherwise what? In the dead of night, you wouldn't steal someone's things, would you??"
He deliberately emphasized the word "steal"!
Lin Baozhu: ...
Her vixen brother must know something.
However, she couldn't care less about that at the moment. She wanted to take the goods that the gangster leader Fu Huayun had obtained and put them into her own space before the police arrived.
In addition, if she encounters any of the fleeing people along the way, she can also capture them.
Lin Baozhu mounted her bicycle and sped off towards the county town like a shadow disappearing into the night. Even without a flashlight, her eyes could see clearly in the darkness.
Throughout the journey, she remained on edge, her eyes and ears constantly alert, wary of any disturbance. However, as her bicycle wheels rolled over the bumpy roads of the county town, she didn't encounter a single person.
Lin Baozhu was filled with doubts: Had those escaped thugs disappeared into the mountains?
But at this moment, compared to finding Fu Huayun and his batch of "goods" of dubious origin, it is clear that the latter is the most important thing!
She needs to make money as quickly as possible: a courtyard house in Beijing, an exquisite villa in Shanghai, land in Shenzhen…
Waaah, she's going to be the most beautiful landlady, ordering male models every day.
Based on the confession of the arrested thug, Lin Baozhu quickly found Fu Huayun's hideout—the deepest part of a secluded and winding alley. The courtyard was low and dilapidated, and next to it was an abandoned courtyard that had long since collapsed into ruins, with broken walls casting menacing shadows under the moonlight.
Lin Baozhu hid in the thick darkness at the base of the wall, like a cat poised to pounce, quietly observing. Finally, she nimbly used an old jujube tree nearby to silently climb over the wall of Fu Huayun's house.
She crouched on the wall, holding her breath and listening intently. The courtyard was deathly silent, save for the even snoring coming from inside the house. Once she was sure everyone inside was fast asleep, she lightly leaped into the courtyard.
She crept stealthily to the window and, by the faint moonlight, confirmed the state of the person on the bed. To be absolutely certain, she flicked her finger, and a wisp of sleeping powder drifted in through the open window crack…
Prying open the flimsy door, Lin Baozhu slipped inside. Her gaze swept over the furnishings, and her pupils constricted sharply; her heart began to pound uncontrollably.
Wow... I'm rich! I'm rich...
Fu Huayun is truly enjoying himself to the fullest!
The entire room was filled with furniture—tables, chairs, benches, chests, cabinets, and beds—all made of top-grade huanghuali wood, with a rich, lustrous sheen and beautiful grain!
This could not have been obtained by ordinary means; it must have been acquired by that scoundrel through dishonest means!
Take them all!
When she owns a courtyard house in Beijing in the future, how high-end and classy will it be to put this huanghuali wood set inside?
Feeling great.
With a thought, all movable objects in the room vanished instantly, as if wiped away by an invisible hand! Even the unconscious woman on the bed was "invited" to the ground without any mercy.
She jumped onto the expensive rosewood bed and happily accepted the storage cabinet at the foot of the bed as well.
She ransacked the bedroom, then moved on to the living room, kitchen... leaving nothing behind, like a locust plague.
Still feeling unsatisfied after doing all that, she grabbed a shovel from the yard and started digging here and there. Sure enough, after a few muffled "thuds," seven or eight heavy wooden crates were unearthed from deep within the soil! Without even a chance to examine them closely, she stored them all in her spatial storage!
As her consciousness sank into the space, looking at the mountain of rosewood and the several tightly sealed boxes, Lin Baozhu frowned.
Was this all the "batch of goods" the thug mentioned? Fu Huayun had hundreds of "brothers" under her command; she didn't believe it was such a small amount...
For some reason, her gaze suddenly fell on the roof of the dilapidated courtyard, and a sudden inspiration struck her...
