The morning sun shines into the room through the window.
Roger and Zhang Xiujuan had just gotten up and were preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
Suddenly, a crisp knock on the door broke the silence in the house.
Roger put down the kitchen knife, wiped his hands, and walked quickly to the door.
He opened the door and found Han Zhenyu standing outside. He smiled and said, "Brother Zhenyu, you are not going to work today?"
"It's not time yet."
Roger invited him into the house, "Brother, go inside and sit down."
"No." Han Zhenyu waved his hand and stood at the door and whispered, "My grandfather said that a stranger came to ask for directions yesterday. He thought his behavior was a bit suspicious, so he asked me to come and tell you that there are only three of us living here, so everyone should be careful."
Han Zhenyu pointed to the nearby cornfields while speaking: "Look, both sides are planted with sorghum and corn. We are far from the village, and only women and children are at home during the day. If something happens, we won't even be able to find anyone to help."
Luo Jie was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that they would be targeted here. Thinking of his pregnant wife, he said nervously: "Brother Zhenyu, what should we do?"
Han Zhenyu patted his shoulder soothingly and said, "Don't worry, let's go and discuss it with Brother Dahan."
"Okay, then I'll tell Xiujuan." Roger nodded, said hello to his wife, and followed Han Zhenyu to Sun Dahan's house.
Sun Dahan and his two sons were setting up a shed in the yard. After hearing what Han Zhenyu said, he frowned and asked, "Are they here to steal things?"
He took a look at Han Zhenyu's big tiled house and suddenly thought of something.
"Zhenyu, do you think it could be human traffickers? Your sister-in-law went to visit relatives a few days ago, and a two-year-old boy from her hometown was missing."
At this time, Sun Dahan's wife also came out, "Zhenyu, my mother said that before the child was lost, it seemed that a stranger also went to the village. Two days later, the child was playing at the doorstep and disappeared in the blink of an eye."
After hearing what Sun Dahan and his wife said, Han Zhenyu's face instantly turned gloomy.
He said to Luo Jie and Sun Dahan, "Xiao Jie, Brother Dahan, I'm not sure if that person is a human trafficker, but he definitely has bad intentions."
Han Zhenyu thought for a moment, looked around, and said to the two, "How about this? You two don't have to go to work today, just stay at home and I'll go to the city to check and see if I can find the person. So you don't have to worry so much."
Sun Dahan said readily, "Okay, we'll keep an eye on it at home, and you can go and ask around. There's not much work in the fields right now, and we can only earn a few work points a day. We have to build a shed today, so we didn't plan to go to the fields anyway."
"Brother, don't worry. We are watching over him at home. No matter who he is, if he dares to come, he won't be able to leave." Roger said viciously.
"Okay, I'll leave the house to you. I'll go into the city and inquire now."
Han Zhenyu returned home and told Su Xieqiu the news he heard from Sun Dahan's wife. He rode his bicycle into the city without even eating.
………
Yuan Liyong had just returned from the slaughterhouse and was sitting at home eating breakfast.
Ever since he became a partner with Han Zhenyu, he has stopped selling bulk goods outside. Not only does he make less money, but he also has to bear risks.
Now, Han Zhenyu purchases goods from Lu Yiming every two months.
Yuan Liyong sold them wholesale to the retail investors below.
The rest of the time, he went to work in the slaughterhouse every two or three days.
Now I have a lot of free time, and the money I earn is several times more than before. I am very grateful to Han Zhenyu, my buddy.
Yuan Liyong soaked the fried dough sticks in soy milk and just took a bite when he saw Han Zhenyu coming in pushing a bicycle.
Yuan Liyong's wife quickly went to the kitchen to get a bowl and poured him a bowl of soy milk.
Han Zhenyu didn't hesitate and drank two bowls of soy milk and ate three fried dough sticks.
Yuan Liyong took out the sketch only after his wife went to work and the children went to school.
"Go and ask for me if anyone knows him?"
Yuan Liyong picked up the painting and looked at the lifelike portrait. He asked, "What happened to this person?"
"They went to scout the area near our house yesterday, and I suspect they were human traffickers." Han Zhenyu smiled coldly, his face full of murderous intent.
Yuan Liyong cursed and said, "Fuck! How dare you set your sights on my nephew and niece."
As he put on his clothes, he said, "Wait a minute, I'll go find someone for you."
Han Zhenyu also stood up and said, "I'm going to go to the factory to make some arrangements and will meet up with you later."
The two of them came out of Yuan Liyong's house together. When they separated, Han Zhenyu whispered to him, "Be quiet and don't alert the enemy."
"I know." Yuan Liyong waved his hand and rode away on his bike.
Han Zhenyu returned to the factory, arranged today's work, said hello to Li Chong, and left the machinery factory.
He rode his bicycle directly to Yuan Liyong's house.
Yuan Liyong hadn't come back yet, and Sister Yuan was holding her youngest son and talking to someone at the door.
Seeing Han Zhenyu coming back, she didn't ask any more questions and just smiled and invited him into the house.
Han Zhenyu said: "Sister, go and do your work. I have an appointment with Li Yong and I will wait for him here."
Sister Yuan was an honest person who didn’t talk much. She poured him a pot of tea and took the child out to play.
When Yuan Liyong came back, it was almost noon and Han Zhenyu had already drunk two pots of tea at his house.
"How's it going? Did you find it?"
Yuan Liyong glanced at him and nodded gently, "This guy is from Hu Province. He travels outside all year round, doing all kinds of things. He also has a few younger brothers here. I heard he is a tough guy."
