Chapter 255 Found the Capital
He actually just realized this!
Ding Jianguo's eyes changed when he looked at Ding Nianjun.
Mom has been complaining about Ding Dayong and Ding Guo at home recently, and her thinking has been led astray.
Although this matter was caused by the unkindness of Ding Dayong and his elder sister, it was ultimately caused by Ding Nianjun.
Ding Nianjun is really the jinx to their family.
Ding Nianjun saw the change in Ding Jianguo's expression clearly, and he panicked immediately. He bit his lip and said with a tone of three parts of self-blame, five parts of grievance and two parts of disbelief: "Brother, are you blaming me?"
As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly as if feeling a little guilty, his voice becoming more choked up, "You are right to blame me. Jianshe insisted on sending me to college at that time, and I shouldn't have let him do it just because I didn't want to offend his kindness. I should have stopped him from making mistakes. But Jianshe was right. If the street hadn't blocked my registration qualification, who would be willing to take such an unorthodox path? Jianshe said that it would be easy for me to get into college with my previous academic performance, but in the end, others even blocked my way. Even if I could swallow that, Jianshe said he couldn't swallow it either. He insisted on sending me to college, and said that I should keep up with Pan Dingfeng's pace, saying that he was afraid that I would fall behind and not be able to keep up with him and would be disliked by him in the future."
Ding Nianjun raised her head again and looked at Ding Jianguo with tearful eyes: "If, if I knew that Pan Dingfeng and I would eventually be separated, I would not have taken this risk. Brother, you loved me the most in my family besides mom, so you can understand me, right?"
The resentment that had just risen in Ding Jianguo's heart disappeared in an instant.
Yeah, it was actually Jianshe who was too confused. He insisted on helping Ding Nianjun get a quota, but ended up getting himself involved.
He has some intelligence, but not much.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Although Ding Jianguo no longer blamed Ding Nianjun, he still did not agree to Ding Nianjun's proposal. If his mother went to the capital again, who would help him take care of the child?
His heart was finally leaning towards himself.
The deal failed, and Ding Nianjun left with a hint of resentment.
Except for her mother and Ding Jianshe, all the family members who used to surround her have retreated.
Since the Pan family lost power, everyone has changed their faces.
Isn't it just because she didn't bring them any benefits? What a snob.
Sooner or later, I will teach these snobs a lesson.
On the other hand, the more Ding Tao thought about the young man's expression, the more she felt something was wrong. So the next day, she called Pei's house and asked Pei's aunt to help pass on the message and arrange a time for the call.
As soon as Ding Guo returned to Zizhu Bridge in the evening, Aunt Qiao told her the news that Aunt Zhang had passed on, saying, "She said your sister in Fengning has something important to talk to you about, and asked you to call her back before seven o'clock."
Does Taozi have something important to discuss with her?
Ding Guo looked at the time. He came back early today and the post office was still closed, so he rode his bike to the nearby post office and called Fengning Food Factory to ask them to help call someone.
I called again fifteen minutes later and it was Ding Tao who answered the phone.
"Sister, last night there was a young man..."
Ding Guo didn't react to who it was for a moment. After thinking about it, he remembered someone.
Could it be the man who gave her a windfall a few years ago?
The man has not appeared since then, but he suddenly appeared now. Either he went to other places and never returned to Fengning in the past few years, or he was arrested. Ding Guo is more inclined to the latter. If he went to other places, it is impossible for him not to come back to look for such a large bag of things, so it is very likely that he was arrested.
I just don’t know the other person’s name, so I can’t check it.
But Ding Guo felt at ease collecting those things.
That person chose to transfer the risk to her, so he should bear the consequences of transferring the risk. How dare he even come to her.
However, this matter could only be kept to herself, for she was afraid that the man would find out something and then find out that Taozi was living in her house, and thus get angry at her, so she still had to deal with it.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Ding Guo said, "I don't know the person you are talking about, but there is a sneaky person at the entrance of the alley. You should also pay attention to your safety. Try not to go to places with few people, and close the doors and windows at night."
Ding Tao didn't think much about it. Although the person that person was inquiring about sounded like Sister Ding Guo, she might have been overthinking it.
"Don't worry, sister. I will pay attention."
After hanging up the phone, Ding Guo called the street near Zaohua Lane and anonymously reported that there were suspicious people near Zaohua Lane, hoping that they would strengthen their defenses.
Ding Guo's call was neither a coincidence nor a coincidence.
Coincidentally, she was not the first one to report it. A kind old lady living nearby also went to the street to report the same situation.
The old lady reported the incident because she saw the same man wandering around the alley for three consecutive times, one of which was when he was staring at a wall in a daze.
But today, people walking around the street for a long time didn't even find a hair of the suspicious individual.
Unfortunately, the person had left Fengning and was heading towards her.
Knowing that the street office had received similar reports and would pay more attention, Ding Guo breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, I couldn't completely relax. I had to hear the news that the man was caught or confirmed to have left before I could let go of my worry.
But she didn't expect that three days later, her heart would fall back into her stomach with a clang.
That afternoon, Ding Guo rode his bike out of school. Not long after he left, Haozi took the initiative to remind him, "Host, you are being followed by the God of Wealth."
Ding Guo: ...
What the hell?
If she didn't have any brains, she would have thought that the God of Wealth had come down to earth and was chasing her to give her money.
"Speak human language!"
System: "Brother Hengcai!"
The host said that it was a mature ruler, so it couldn't fail to take the initiative to warn the host just because the host was only being followed but not in any life-threatening situation.
Besides, this BUG was reported several years ago. If it hasn’t been fixed for such a long time, are we just waiting for the dog hosts to find an excuse to fleece them?
So it not only proactively reminds, but also proactively provides the tracker's information and has a sense of humor... oh no, a humor code.
Ding Guo was speechless for half a second.
She also realized who it was.
“That person actually found Huada!”
I am a little skeptical about the accuracy and efficiency of this person's information.
From the time Taozi informed her of the incident to the time she was followed, it had only been a few days?
And the other party also got a bicycle. What efficiency is amazing.
Ding Guo did not doubt Taozi, because Ding Tao would definitely not tell her her name or the news that she was studying in college.
Could it be that the residents over there found out that their former, short-term neighbor had become a student at Hua University, and that person found out from other residents?
However, now that we have arrived in the capital, there is no need to worry about Ding Tao's safety.
She'll clean up!
While thinking, Ding Guo turned on the small speaker to lock onto the tracking sound from behind, then she rode her bike to a random alley and went into it. After turning several turns, she finally found a place to hide. When she was sure that the person behind her was still a certain distance away, she slipped into the space with her bike.
The small speaker continued to be turned on, and the situation outside was observed through the visual window.
Not long after, the man rode his bike past where Ding Guo was hiding.
While keeping an eye on the movements outside, Ding Guo quickly performed a head-changing surgery on himself, put on men's clothes, changed into a pair of larger shoes, rolled up two newspapers and stuffed them into his shoes, and tied his shoelaces tightly.
While she was fixing it, Brother Hengcai rode his bike back and stood at a nearby intersection, frowning and thinking, muttering, "Which way is it going?"
This guy is not stupid, he knows how to look at the tire marks on the ground.
But this is a residential area. There are many cars and people walking back and forth. The traces are messy and not easy to identify.
The man lingered around for a while without giving up, and looked around at several houses around him. Seeing that he could not see anything, he turned around and left.
Thanks to this man's patience, Ding Guo successfully changed his head, made sure the surrounding environment was safe, got out, and chased after him on his bike.
The man hasn't even walked out of the reception range of the small speaker.
Ding Guo closed the distance and used his shoes, then followed slowly on his bike.
Ding Guo thought that this man would find a guesthouse near Hua University to stay in order to follow her, but as she walked, she felt that something was not going on. Where was he going?
Not sure where or when to follow, Ding Guo passed by a post office on his bike. He rushed to the compound before the post office closed and made a phone call, asking Aunt Zhang to help deliver a letter to Zizhu Bridge. He said that he would stay in the library to review tonight and would not go home, so as not to worry Aunt Qiao and Sister Chunhua.
After coming out of the post office, I rode my bike to chase him for a while, then got closer and closer, and then started to follow him slowly.
It took nearly two hours of cycling to get to a place called Zhanger Village. It was already dark. If Ding Guo hadn't had props to help him, he would have lost it long ago.
He freed one hand to rub his numb face and listened to the sound coming from the small speaker.
Judging from the sound, Brother Hengcai seemed to have entered a house.
Someone is talking to Brother Hengcai.
"Did you see anyone?"
Brother Hengcai: "I saw it, but I lost it!"
The voice in the front was a little shocked: "Did that woman find you?"
Ding Guo raised his eyebrows. Brother Hengcai actually has an acquaintance in the capital. Isn’t he from Fengning?
Brother Hengcai thought for a moment and said, "Probably not. I was afraid she would notice that I was following her too far. She turned into a small alley, which was winding and turning. I chased her but didn't see her anymore. I guess she lives in that area. I won't be waiting at the school tomorrow. I'll go over there and wait."
"The person who provided you with the information didn't tell you where she lives? Hey, she doesn't live on campus? She's a day student!"
Brother Hengcai: "I didn't ask. The woman who provided me with the information was not a good person. She insisted on knowing why I was looking for someone before she provided me with the information. I guess that woman doesn't get along with Ding Guo and is happy to see me causing trouble for Ding Guo before she is willing to tell me." Then he added, "I was also wondering why she actually lived outside. It was only when I happened to run into her leaving the school gate that I realized she didn't live on campus."
"You said she was married and had children. I guess her husband and children followed her and rented a house to live outside."
Ding Guo raised an eyebrow. How could this woman know so much information about her but still be at odds with her?
Yue Hongmei? Ding Nianjun?
But Ding Nianjun is in the capital...
Just as Ding Guo was about to rule out Ding Nianjun, he thought of her divorce again.
Maybe he returned to Fengning after his divorce.
Oh, there is another one, Zheng Wenfang is also a possibility.
But what were these people doing in Zaohua Lane? Why did they run into Brother Hengcai by coincidence?
As the thought flashed through my mind, the voice from the small speaker came out again.
He is the one who was talking to Brother Hengcai.
"Do you know what major she is in Huazhong University? Which class is she from? I wonder if I can find someone to help you find out. I can just arrange for someone to call her out, put her in a sack and take her away to scare her. How dare she hide it?"
Brother Hengcai: “I don’t know.”
"No... couldn't you ask a few more questions when you came?" The person who spoke sounded a little helpless.
Brother Hengcai: "That girl is very smart. She looks weak and timid, but she won't take advantage of me. I'm afraid she will make more demands."
Actually, I was a little surprised when I suddenly heard that the person I was looking for had come to the capital, and I forgot to ask in detail.
Ding Guo narrowed his eyes.
Girl, look so weak...
Ding Nianjun is more likely.
But the other person talking inside was not a good person either, and he wanted to put her in a sack.
Ding Guo sneered!
The conversation was very short, and Ding Guo also found the house that Brother Hengcai entered. He looked around and saw that no one else passed by. Both the person and the car slipped into the space.
You want to put her in a sack, right?
See who puts on whose sack first.
Ding Guo did not remove her makeup when she entered the space. She just went into the house to wash her hands, returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, and opened the system mall to order food.
I ordered a plate of braised pork, a plate of Chinese cabbage, and a plate of beef dumplings. After I was full, I went out to walk around the farm and the still empty pond to digest the food.
After strolling for half an hour, I returned to the room, lay down on the sofa with my clothes on, and prepared to take a nap to recharge my energy.
During this time, Brother Hengcai and his companion were still talking, but they temporarily changed the topic. The two of them cooked two dishes, drank some wine, and chatted.
Through these gossips, Ding Guo confirmed that Brother Hengcai had been in prison before and was released a few days ago. As soon as he came out, he went to Zaohua Lane to look for someone.
It was also through the past events mentioned during their conversation that Ding Guo knew that this was Brother Hengcai's former accomplice. One was responsible for getting the goods, while Brother Hengcai was responsible for running around the country selling the goods and working part-time as a pig-killing schemer.
I didn't expect to fail in Fengning.
"You are unlucky to have run into such a fool." His companion sighed, "You were trying to escape, but when you went back to look for something, you were caught as a suspicious person."
Brother Hengcai took a sip of his wine and said, "Who knew I would be so unlucky? I just happened to run into someone from the local Revolutionary Committee and got killed. Fuck him!"
His words were full of indignation.
"It's all over. Come on, let's go."
They both took a sip of their wine and continued chatting.
The companion said: "But after so many years, that batch of goods is probably in trouble now."
Brother Hengcai gritted his teeth and said, "I have to die knowing the truth. I have to find out whether the goods were delivered or whether that woman kept them for herself. If she dares to embezzle them, I will teach her a lesson."
Ding Guo was almost asleep, but the hatred made her sleep away and she continued to listen with her ears perked up.
Companion: "We have to find out. If we hand it in, there will be nothing we can do. We can only admit defeat. Come back and help me, brother, and help me get these things out. I won't let you down." It was Hengcai's turn to speak next. He subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "You are too bold. It was fine if you dealt with watches and goldfish before, but why did you get involved with this?"
Ding Guo pricked up his ears and listened in vain.
What are you doing?
She was no longer sleepy, so she got up and went to the kitchen. She picked out a fruit plate that had been prepared earlier, went back to the living room, sat down and ate slowly.
As the conversation continued, my companion smiled disapprovingly and said, "The brave will die of overeating while the timid will die of starvation. Do I need to teach you this? Do you think anyone can fall for this? This shows that my backer is becoming more and more powerful."
Brother Hengcai said admiringly: "Yes, that circle is indeed not something that everyone can enter. Brother, I give you a toast!"
The two clinked glasses.
The companion was quite proud: "I got this amount from Brother Li last year..."
The companion didn't say anything, but seemed to make a gesture, which attracted a burst of flattery from the wealthy brother: "So much? This is much more than what we used to earn by carrying goods to find buyers! Awesome, you are really getting better and better now, unlike me, who came out with nothing in my pocket. If I hadn't borrowed some money from a family, I couldn't even afford a ticket to the capital."
"It's not a big deal. You're here now. How can you go without a bite of food while I'm here?" The man seemed to be drunk and his words were garbled. The content that he had been hiding for a long time came clearly into Ding Guo's ears.
"As long as this batch of military supplies is distributed, I can earn this much just by following the lead..."
The grape that Ding Guo had just picked up fell back onto the plate, and his scalp felt numb.
Military supplies?
What kind of military supplies? Who is online? Big borer!
