Qin Jianye squatted cautiously under the windowsill and eavesdropped on the conversation between Director Cheng and the widow.
After all this time, it turned out that the widow was fake. Director Cheng had fabricated an identity for the woman to facilitate communication between the two of them.
In fact, this woman was like a concubine in ancient times, and she gave birth to a son for Director Cheng.
"How is it? Did you dig anything up?" the woman asked.
Director Cheng shook his head: "Don't mention it, it's so cold, I'm freezing to death."
"This year's snow seems to have come earlier than in previous years."
The woman poured Director Cheng a glass of water and asked him to warm his hands over the enamel pot. "We've been searching for so many years and still haven't found anything. Maybe the Chen family really didn't leave anything behind."
Director Cheng shook his head: "You haven't seen how rich the Chen family was back then.
I heard that when Mr. Chen was young, he would have eight dishes for dinner, and they were all rare delicacies like abalone and sea cucumber.
When his aunt got married, she had a wedding dress that was ten miles long.
If it were you, would you be willing to donate all these things?"
"But you also said that he came here to escape famine."
"So what? Without disguising his identity, could he have made it from south to north alive?"
"But you've been searching for years and still haven't found a clue."
"So I decided to go after the Chen family's son-in-law. I heard he's been quite generous in the past six months. Even if he had a job, it's impossible for an old farmer to be that lavish.
The stinginess of the poor is innate. But that person is different. He was either rich when he was young, or he was poor for a long time and suddenly became rich, so he was just showing off.
"He extorted nearly three thousand yuan from the Yin and Cui families, as well as Zhao Xinmin. Add to that the Chen couple's pension and Mr. Chen's savings, and that's at least six thousand yuan. It's enough to squander for a lifetime."
"Oh, you're still narrow-minded. Six thousand yuan is nothing. Back then, the Chen family spent more than that on a ring."
"So what do you want to do?"
"Let's arrest the girl from the Qin family first. I heard that the son-in-law of the Chen family cherishes her very much. If she doesn't obey, he will let his brothers abuse her.
Such a fresh and tender young girl, everyone is envious of her."
Outside the house, Qin Jianye was furious when he heard this.
He dares to have evil intentions towards his daughter. He really wants to die.
In the room, Director Cheng warmed himself up for a while and then became a little restless.
He pulled the "little widow" over and started to make trouble.
When the fight was at its most intense, Qin Jianye covered his face and kicked the door open.
"Ah!" As soon as the woman screamed, Qin Jianye slapped her and knocked her unconscious.
Director Cheng remained calm, wrapped in a blanket, and asked, "May I ask what you want, brother? Are you seeking money or sex?
If you want money, I have eighty dollars in my clothes. If you want sex, please come!"
Director Cheng raised his hand and pointed at the woman without any reluctance.
Qin Jianye sneered: "Director Cheng is in a good mood!"
Director Cheng's expression changed slightly.
"But don't worry, I'm not here to cause you any trouble. I just want to ask, can we work together?"
Director Cheng felt a little relieved and asked with a frown, "What kind of cooperation?"
Qin Jianye said calmly, "I heard Director Cheng is looking for the Chen family treasure. I happen to know some information, but I don't have the ability to get it. I wonder if Director Cheng is interested in joining us and splitting the profits 50-50 afterwards."
"Are you serious?" Director Cheng was so excited that he almost pulled off the quilt, revealing his white buttocks.
As for the young widow, he had no business with her. She was just a plaything, so he could just replace her when he got tired of her.
Qin Jianye nodded: "Well, there are hundreds of boxes. I can transport them out, but I will be noticed by others.
"I know Director Cheng is the director of the Song Committee and has great power and ability. He can use the excuse of work to move the boxes to the warehouse. Then, won't we have the final say on where the items are?"
Director Cheng rolled his eyes and thought of a solution, ready to keep it all for himself.
Qin Jianye said, "I have someone behind me. If Director Cheng wants to rob his fellow thieves, he will have to pay a price. As for what price..."
Qin Jianye sneered, giving people a creepy feeling.
Director Cheng quickly shook his head: "I dare not."
"So Director Cheng means that the matter is settled?"
"Of course. May I ask where your things are so I can arrange for someone to get them."
"Do you think I can say it so easily? Shouldn't we discuss countermeasures in detail?"
"Yes, I am anxious! What's your name, brother? When do you think it's appropriate to take action?"
Qin Jianye glanced at the woman with disdain: "Do you think it's appropriate to say this here? If it weren't for the urgency, I wouldn't bother to disturb Director Cheng's good deeds."
Director Cheng thought about it and gave the woman a look of disdain: "Then tomorrow, come to my office... No, let's go to my house!"
Qin Jianye chuckled: "Which family are you talking about, Director Qin?"
Director Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and the look he gave Qin Jianye finally became a little serious.
He said seriously, "Have you asked about me?"
Qin Jianye nodded: "Of course, otherwise how can we cooperate! We are worried about such a large amount of property!"
Director Cheng was silent for a moment, then gave an address: "See you tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock."
Qin Jianye said "hmm", stood up, walked to the table, took two enamel pots, picked up the thermos, and poured half a cup of water into the enamel pots.
He handed one of the cups to Director Cheng: "Director Cheng, I'm sorry for offending you just now. It was an emergency and I had to make an exception. I hope you don't mind."
How could Director Cheng not mind? Having his good deeds interrupted and threatened, he wished he could tear Qin Jianye into pieces.
But now, can he do it? Does he dare? Qin Jianye only needs to yell and he will be ruined.
He took the enamel pot with a warm smile and took a sip: "Why do you say that, brother? It's all because of work."
"Yes, it's all for work." Qin Jianye bumped his enamel pot against his, and in the silent night, a metallic "bang" sound was heard.
The two looked at each other and drank the water in the enamel jar.
Qin Jianye laughed, praised it as "refreshing", and left.
He climbed over the wall and continued to wait in the corner. Five minutes later, Director Cheng opened the door and came out.
Qin Jianye knocked the man unconscious with a club and dragged him back into the house.
He stripped Director Cheng's clothes, threw them into the quilt, and sat next to him waiting.
Not long after, Director Cheng woke up, but his eyes were dull and he was rubbing his hands and knees left and right, as if he was looking for something.
Qin Jianye helped him, and soon, inappropriate noises for children were heard in the room.
At the most intense moment, Qin Jianye went up to help Director Cheng.
There was only a "click" sound.
Qin Jianye shook his head regretfully, and saw Director Cheng fall straight down without even a scream.
Qin Jianye whistled proudly, went out and glanced at the next door.
Well, his smokescreen was quite effective. Even with such a loud noise, it didn’t wake up Director Cheng’s mistress.
However, he acted cautiously and dissolved some medicine in water and fed it to the women and children.
This drug wouldn't kill them, but it would cause their memories to become distorted. This way, he would be completely clear of suspicion.
