The couple boarded the boat and returned to Guangzhou safely that night.

Sun Hong came to the dock to pick them up and first sent Meng Tao back to the previous family compound. Shen Yu settled his wife down, kissed her, touched the baby in her belly, and told the mother and daughter to stay at home and have a good rest and not run around. He came back soon, then went downstairs and left with Sun Hong to participate in the "Shark Hunting Operation".

Meng Tao walked to the window, drew aside the curtains and watched them leave. She could only sigh that she was already an expectant mother, otherwise she could have followed them and perhaps been able to help.

The next morning, the chubby girl Yang Xiaoyu came over, worried that Meng Tao was bored, so she came to play with her.

Meng Tao smiled and said that she was fine. She was very tired after two days of shopping in Gangcheng and needed a good rest. Then she took out a few gifts for Yang Xiaoyu. Guangzhou is close to Gangcheng, and Yang Xiaoyu has a good family background. She is not unfamiliar with the items from Gangcheng. She was attracted by two sets of cosmetics, but knew they were not cheap, so she politely declined. Meng Tao insisted on giving them to Yang Xiaoyu, so she happily accepted them, thinking that she should also prepare some good southern specialties as a return gift.

Instead of going shopping, Yang Xiaoyu took Meng Tao back to her own home and relatives' homes, and asked Mother Yang and the gossip girls to cook authentic local dishes for Meng Tao to taste. They visited relatives for three consecutive days, eating delicious food and learning to play mahjong. Meng Tao had a lot of fun during the day, but at night she worried about Shen Yu, brother Zhehan and eldest cousin, praying that everything would be safe and sound for them outside.

It was not until the sixth night that Shen Yu came back. When Meng Tao saw him coming in, she immediately rushed over to check on him. Shen Yu hugged his wife and kissed her, saying, "Don't worry, my husband is unharmed!"

Meng Tao was amused and kissed him: "Thank you for coming back unharmed! How about them? Brother Zhehan and cousin are both okay, are they back together?"

"They are all fine. This pursuit was extremely difficult, from sea to land, and from land to sea, and it was full of dangers. Fortunately, everyone worked together closely and cracked down on those criminals. It is estimated that more than a hundred people were killed or injured on the other side. Four of our people were seriously injured and more than a dozen were slightly injured. They were all treated in time and escaped without any danger. My cousin and the others are still dealing with the aftermath. I was afraid that you would worry, so I came back first."

"My husband worked hard! Did you catch the big golden shark?"

"There are no more great golden sharks. Kill them and there will be one less scourge."

"We have mobilized many forces and gathered elite soldiers and generals this time. I thought you were determined to capture him alive."

"We did have this plan, but Murong Shengjie was cunning and cruel. When he had no other options, he tried to fight to the death. If that happened, our side would suffer too much loss, with many casualties, so we just killed him directly."

"It's better this way. It doesn't make much sense to capture such a vicious criminal alive, because he has already lost his conscience. It's not worth sacrificing us for him. Keeping him in custody is a waste of national food and prison resources."

Shen Yu smiled and ruffled her hair: "My wife is right!"

The next day, Shen Yu, who was always self-disciplined and an early riser, slept in. Meng Tao knew that he was very tired these days, and maybe because he finally killed the "Golden Shark", he no longer had a worry in his mind and was completely relaxed.

So she didn't bother him, and carefully got up to play with Xiao Wangcai, had breakfast in the space, took a walk, went to work in the plantation, and did her own things.

Shen Yu woke up at 11 o'clock in the morning. Meng Tao had already prepared lunch. After the couple finished eating, they played with Xiao Wangcai for a while. They left the space at around 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Shen Yu wanted to see if Sun Hong had returned, and the situation of Meng Zhehan and Xu Hengkai. Meng Tao had nothing to do at home, so he took her with him.

Shen Yu was sent back home by someone last night. He didn't have a car and the place he was going was not far, so the two of them walked there and treated it as a stroll.

As they turned the corner, a man on a bicycle whizzed past them, then quickly turned back, ran in front of them, turned around, jumped off the bicycle, and shouted in surprise: "Master! Master! Is it really you?!"

Meng Tao: “…” This voice sounds a little familiar.

Shen Yu held his wife in his arms and glanced at the young man sharply: "Who are you?"

"I am talking to my master, who are you?"

Hu Laosi stiffened his neck. He was dressed quite formally now, wearing a Zhongshan suit with a pen in his shirt pocket. His hair was combed shiny in the middle. He looked decent and even had a bit of literary temperament. He was no longer the wretched image of a thief.

Shen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. He roughly guessed who this guy was. His wife mentioned it, and Sun Hong also told him: There was a thief in Guangshi who cut his wife's purse. If his wife hadn't had some strength to subdue him, she would have fallen into his trap.

But this thief was cunning and thick-skinned, and insisted on calling his wife "Master".

Shen Yu waited for Hu Laosi to take two more steps forward, and then kicked him away.

He was so bold as to have the guts to set his sights on his own wife and even cut her handbag. That was a gift from me to my wife, a limited edition, her favorite style, but I couldn't find it later.

However, Hu Laosi did not move forward as Shen Yu had expected. He grew up eating that kind of food and was even more sensitive than a mouse. When he sensed the danger, he did not move forward but took two steps back, making a pitiful look and looking at Meng Tao eagerly.

Meng Tao had no choice but to introduce him: "This is my husband. My husband doesn't like thieves, especially since you stole my wallet. Don't mess with him, or you'll get beaten."

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Hu Laosi bowed to Shen Yu and said with a flattering smile, "Hello, husband... No! Hello, master! My name is Hu Wencai, that is, I am the fourth child in the family, so I am also called Hu Laosi."

Shen Yu: “…” He became a master’s master, a master’s master of a thief?

Meng Tao was puzzled: "Why do I remember Sun Hong saying your name was Hu something?"

Hu Laosi chuckled: "My name used to be Hu Haibo, but now my uncle changed my name to Hu Wencai."

Doesn’t Hu Haibo sound better than Hu Wencai?

Meng Tao was not in a position to comment on the other person's name, so she just said to Hu Lao Si: "I told you not to call me Master casually. I don't have any skills to teach you. Do you want people to think that I'm teaching you to be a thief? Don't harm my husband and me."

"No, no!" Hu Laosi waved his hands: "I listened to you and stopped stealing a long time ago... I admire you very much, and I want to respect you like a disciple respects his master."

"No need, don't call me Master, I'm telling you."

"Can't."

"What should I do?" Hu Laosi looked worried, and suddenly an idea came to him: "Is it okay for me to call you Big Sister?"

Meng Tao was speechless. You yell more than me, okay? But she didn't want to argue with him: "Then Sister Meng, let's go."

"Sister Meng, brother-in-law!" Hu Laosi was very happy.

Meng Tao pointed at Shen Yu and said, "My husband's last name is Shen, Mr. Shen. Don't call me brother-in-law. I'm not your sister. If you don't know, you might think he's your real brother-in-law."

"Okay! Sister Meng, Mr. Shen."

Hu Laosi didn't leave yet, and said, "I didn't know you were coming to Guangzhou. I'll treat you tonight. Let's have dinner at Ah Xing's hotel. I'll go book a private room now!"

Meng Tao glanced at him and said, "The hotel where Ah Xing works is a five-star hotel, which costs a lot of money. Did you do something secretly again?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Hu Laosi hurriedly defended himself: "Ever since I listened to my master...ah, listened to Sister Meng's words, I stopped doing bad things and did more good things. I'm so lucky! Think about how I can get government rewards in this life, and my family will be very proud! But I didn't take that position, and gave it to Axing's sister. Later, Comrade Sun gave me another chance, and I gave it to a cousin of my family. He was unemployed and his partner abandoned him. How pitiful! I learned how to do business from Boss He. I made a lot of money in more than a month. One time, Boss He asked me to go to the sea to pick up goods, and I met a person who said As he talked, he got in touch with my relatives - he mentioned his uncle's name, and it turned out to be my long-missing uncle! It turned out that my uncle ran away to Gangcheng to start a family, and he is still alive and well. Because our family has moved many times, my uncle asked people to come back and look for him but couldn't find him. Now he is very happy to contact him, so he applied for a return home permit to come back to visit relatives and distributed some money to the old and young. Now the situation at home is much better. My uncle asked me to go to Gangcheng to visit relatives, and I can work there, it is very profitable! I am in the process of applying for the documents, and I can go abroad after they are completed!"

Meng Tao sneered: "Why are you going abroad? That is our Guo Jia's territory."

Hu Laosi scratched his head and chuckled, "Yes, it belongs to us Guo Jia. I'll go over there and take a look first. Sister Meng, what do you want? I'll buy it for you and send it back."

Shen Yu's eyes shot over like a knife, and Hu Laosi quickly added: "And Mr. Shen's? Send them together, send them together!"

Meng Tao: "Thank you, we have everything we need."

"Then tonight..."

"No need, we still have things to do, you go and do your thing, we're leaving now."

"... Then Sister Meng, if you come to Guangshi next time, go find Ah Xing if you have any questions. Ah Xing will be there."

"good."

Meng Tao walked a few steps with Shen Yu, and suddenly turned back: "Hu Laosi, where are the films of those beautiful women you took at Ah Xing's hotel last time?"

Hu Laosi: "I've handed it all over to you. It was a paper bag. I saw you put it into your purse - ah, it didn't fall, did it? That bag..."

After being stabbed by him, he dared not say anything now. Mr. Shen looked very fierce and his eyes were too unfriendly.

Meng Tao nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and look for it."

After watching Shen Yu and Meng Tao turn the corner, Hu Laosi rode away on his bicycle.

Shen Yu squeezed Meng Tao's hand and said, "Boss? Sister Meng? Do you want to be my younger brother?"

Meng Tao smiled and nudged his arm with her head: "Are you coming? I'll definitely accept it."

"I'm your husband. If you really want to take me in as a younger brother, you have to get my consent, okay?"

"I know."

"This Hu Laosi is a clingy person and is not a good person. Don't pay attention to him in the future."

"He was never a good guy. He always cut people's pockets and stole money. Anyone caught would want to beat him to death. He was very good at wielding a blade. Last time, there was really no one around, so I just caught him. Together with his friend, the hotel waiter Ah Xing, they worked well together and rescued those beauties. They confiscated many of Guo Jia's top cultural relics and treasures, and killed three bad guys. I heard that none of them survived in the end."

"What film did you ask about?"

"He was the one who secretly took the photos of me. He took the camera and said he was traveling, but he actually took photos of pretty girls he saw along the way. Isn't this a sex-hunting man? Then he went back with the photos to find the girls and tricked them into getting on the boat and taking them away... I asked Hu Laosi to crawl into his room and steal the photos and films that had been dried. I took a few photos of myself, and the photos of the other girls were given to Sun Hong and the others. But later I couldn't find the film, and I'm not sure if I kept it, so I asked where it might be in the space so I can look through it when I go back tonight."

"Sex hunter? Taking pictures? You want to..."

"Yes, I remembered the film after seeing Hu Laosi. Suddenly, an idea came to me: In the previous life, when my mother appeared in Jinzhai, could it be that the beauty hunter first discovered her? He must have taken pictures first, and then - wait until we find the film, and then show it all?"

"good!"

With the help of the shade of the trees and no one around, Shen Yu lowered his head and kissed his wife hard: his smart and clever darling, he didn't know how many lifetimes of luck he had gathered to wait for her!
