After lunch, Zhou Yan, Xiao Yu, and their children followed the old man back to the small building. In the afternoon, they went with Xiao Liu to a family with a stone mill and ground a few pounds of beans.
For dinner, the family skipped the dining hall and instead enjoyed seasonal dishes from the old man's yard. They prepared a table full of seasonal dishes. For tofu, they made fish soup tofu, mapo tofu, cold tofu, and fish roe tofu. The remaining tofu was given to neighbors as holiday gifts.
Because of this, I received a lot of gifts in return.
For example, an old political commissar who loved reading heard that Xiao Yu liked reading and gave him a set of typewritten writing paper; a family with an elderly lady ate half a bowl of glutinous rice and steamed pork with rice flour brought back by the old man at noon, and gave Xiao Yu two cans of canned fruit; others gave him boxes of biscuits, chocolates and fruit candies.
Because the old man had instructed that no matter what people gave them, they should accept it first. Zhou Yan and Xiao Yu basically accepted everything after being polite.
☆
The next morning, while the family was still having breakfast, Mr. Lei and a less familiar Mr. Wen arrived. It was said that the latter was the direct leader currently managing this area. The family ate quickly, and when they finished, they found three jeeps parked at the door.
In Mr. Lei's car, besides his guards and secretary, there was also a calm and composed acquaintance - Lei Xiangqian.
Seeing Lei Xiangqian, Zhou Yan couldn't help but ask, "Will Long Xunhai also be accompanying us on today's itinerary?"
Lei Xiangqian frowned: "That's not the case. But, you two don't really hold a grudge, do you? It happened so long ago, and you still remember it?"
Zhou Yan gave the other person a look that could only be understood. According to Xiaoyu's instructions, it would be best if they didn't reveal Luo Ziwei's identity. Furthermore, he had learned from the old man that Long Xunhai had indeed killed a murderer named Luo Zhaodi in Luohe County, and that person was none other than the girl from Luojia Village whom he had met before.
If it's true, as Xiaoyu said, that Luo Zhaodi is the body Luo Ziwei used before. Then this woman had better be kept under our noses. Otherwise, if she's killed again, it will be difficult to find her next time.
Lei Xiangqian always felt that there was something else behind Zhou Yan's words, and wanted to continue asking, but the other party had already gotten into Mr. Zhou's car.
☆
The slap in the face came too quickly.
The convoy, after a brief inspection, left the residential complex. As soon as they turned the corner, they ran into Long Xunhai and the director of the Supernatural Power Bureau at the intersection. In the passenger seat sat Long Xunhai's young wife, Luo Ziwei.
Seeing the team from the Ability Bureau, Lei Xiangqian felt his stomach churn. What was going on? They hadn't gotten any credit for the previous South China Sea operation, so they were desperate to get some? Three jeeps were dispatched at once. If they'd gone out, someone who didn't know would have thought something terrible was going to happen.
At the Zhou family's side, when Zhou Yan saw Luo Ziwei, his aura suddenly surged.
Sitting in the back seat, Zhou Yan's elder, who was sitting across from him, immediately noticed the strange atmosphere. He looked at his grandson and asked, "You don't like Long Xunhai?"
Zhou Yan didn't say anything, but Xiao Liu said, "Director Long went out on a mission and brought his lover with him?"
Old Master Zhou was indeed an intelligence professional. He immediately noticed the subtle change in Zhou Yan's expression caused by Xiao Liu's careless words. Before getting in the car, his grandson's conversation with the boy from the Lei family was definitely not about Long Xunhai.
Now……
There is something wrong with Long Xunhai's daughter-in-law.
☆
When Xiao Yu looked at the scene of the Supernatural Bureau and the heroine in the Longxunhai jeep through the window, he inexplicably had a premonition that what happened today would happen.
This made him a little irritated. He had been excited for a long time last night for the sake of incense.
He told Zhou Yan his thoughts through his spiritual sense. To avoid being detected by the female protagonist's spiritual sense, he sent a message to the old man: "Grandpa, avoid the Fire God Temple and wander around elsewhere."
Just wandering around? Old Master Zhou was surprised at Xiao Yu's sudden voice transmission, but he could already tell that this trip was in vain.
Grandpa Zhou pondered for a moment and nodded, signaling Xiao Liu to go directly to the largest temple. He then looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Why don't you go to the Fire God Temple?"
"My brother has a fire attribute. I'm afraid that if we go over there, his attribute will be exposed, which will be disadvantageous to him in the future. Let's go and take a look at it ourselves tonight. Also, during today's conversation, let's avoid the issue of what we use to plant. Grandpa shouldn't have told the higher-ups about this yet, right?"
Old Master Zhou shook his head slightly. He had originally thought that if the experiment was successful, he would allow the two children to legitimately absorb more incense and make some contributions. Unexpectedly, the entire Ability Bureau was mobilized.
☆
In the Lei family's car, Old Man Lei was already angry.
"What's going on? Lei Xiangqian, you're a director now, don't you even have the most basic sense of confidentiality?"
Lei Xiangqian's face turned grim. "It wasn't me. I just heard what you said last night and decided to follow you. How could I have specially informed Brother Long and those troublemakers?"
Mr. Lei still trusted his son very much. Hearing this, he asked, "Then what's going on? Is it Old Man Wen?"
Secretary Xiao Zhang pushed up his glasses and said, "Mr. Wen and the one from the Ability Bureau are related by marriage."
Lei Xiangqian's expression changed: "When did it happen?"
"A month ago," the secretary said, "that person's daughter married the youngest son of the Wen family. Because of the instructions to save money from above, they only obtained a marriage certificate."
Mr. Lei's expression suddenly turned ugly.

The long procession of vehicles on the road certainly attracted a lot of attention. Many commuters even stopped, jumped off their bicycles, and looked around.
