It was like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you effortlessly. But Zhu Fanfan still couldn't help but ask, "You trust me that much?"
She's still a child, and we just entrusted her with such an important task like that? Without even submitting a report or making an application?
Qi Shan ate with relish, saying without looking up, "You've helped with quite a few cases over the years, do you think I don't know your capabilities? Go ahead and do it, I'll take care of the rest."
She was only five years old when she managed to bewitch a group of grown men in the Jing family and beat several of them so badly they couldn't fight back. How could he not trust her? He had watched this girl grow up, and he had never recommended her for credit when she was little because he was afraid someone would harm her.
Ever since she displayed her amazing martial arts skills at the age of ten, confirming that she could protect herself, Uncle Zhu has stopped suppressing her achievements. This girl has made a dozen contributions to him. Every time she returns to Shanghai, she has to do several big things. Now she is warmly welcomed when she joins the army. What a question. If you don't trust her, who do you trust?
Zhu Fanfan took the documents: "Aren't you afraid that if I find the stolen goods, I'll pocket them myself?"
Although she already had enough gold and silver jewelry in her space to live on for three lifetimes, she still couldn't help but be tempted by antique gold and silver. She herself was not sure about her character. Where did Uncle Qi get the confidence that she would be a person of integrity and purity?
Qi Shan replied, "Don't I trust you? No matter what happens, I'll clean up the mess."
It's just a little bit of hard work pay, right? How could the kids not work hard? Can we let them work for free? We're not like Qi the Skinflint, who destroyed all the evidence when something seemed amiss. Without Fanfan, those things would never have been discovered.
Besides, he discovered that the grain markings inside were all new, unlike the markings on the gold and silver jewelry, which appeared at different times. However, the quality was exactly the same as the rice and flour from the Zhu family in the capital. By exchanging goods for grain, the grain would be far more valuable than the goods taken away, according to market prices. Goods are inanimate objects, but grain can save lives in critical moments.
Zhu Fanfan fell silent. She thought she had done a good job! She was even pleased with herself for destroying all the evidence. Suddenly, she remembered what her grandfather had said: there are too many smart people in this world. You have to be careful, careful, and careful when you do things. If you don't clean up even the slightest clue, you will fail at the last minute.
Seeing Zhu Fanfan lost in thought, Qi Shan spoke up: "What are you daydreaming about? Aren't you going to get to work? Uncle Qi is waiting to recommend you for credit!"
Zhu Fanfan picked up the documents and prepared to leave, but seeing Uncle Qi's hands covered in oil and the way he was eating meat with gusto, she couldn't help but say, "Like a cow chewing on a peony."
Qi Shan pretended not to hear, but when Zhu Fanfan reached the door, she muttered under her breath, "It tastes so much better this way. What a fuss. She's just being picky. She's like a cow chewing on a peony. What a delicate little girl."
The first time this girl brought him roast duck, she even used a scalpel to slice it for him. Although it only took a few minutes to slice, she explained a lot about how to eat it in Beijing. He tried it, but he still couldn't get enough.
Zhu Fanfan immediately turned around and asked directly, "What did you say?"
Qi Shan smiled and said, "My little darling, you're such a good child. Your uncle is waiting for your triumphant return."
Zhu Fanfan snorted: "Don't smile so obsequiously, it's creepy."
Doesn't he know what he looks like? He exudes an aura of righteousness that is so pleasing to the eye and reassuring, yet he's more cowardly than anyone else when he should be. She even suspects that her second uncle and he were switched at birth, because he's just too much like her grandfather.
Only after Zhu Fanfan left did Qi Shan dare to say, "That disrespectful little girl is even gossiping about her elders."
Just like Zhu Ji, she's fearless and will argue with anyone. The difference is that Zhu Ji always ends up crying and howling after being beaten, but she just can't bring herself to hurt Fanfan. Even when she gets teased, she still has to smile and apologize, but she doesn't feel aggrieved. In fact, she's secretly pleased. That's why it's better to have a daughter. Even when she's angry, it's like she's being coquettish.
Once outside, Zhu Fanfan immediately found Master Xin's file. She hadn't looked at the information yet and needed a quiet place to do so. Since she was quite familiar with Master Xin, it would be better to ask him. With her maternal grandfather's connection, it shouldn't be difficult to get along with him.
Half an hour later, Xinye, who was utterly despondent, lay on the ground like a dead dog, unable to move. If he were given another chance, he would definitely invite this deity back respectfully and would not be impolite just because she was a little girl.
Here's what happened: Zhu Fanfan was quite fast; what took others half an hour, she covered in five minutes. When she arrived, she found that Master Xin was also quite pitiful, with only four of his right and left henchmen left.
Zhu Fanfan recognized him and said he was looking for him. He thought he was an enemy, so he spoke a little rudely. He really only said a few rude words, and then the kid beat the five of them so badly that they were lying on the ground unable to move.
After beating them, she asked if they wanted to fight back. Naturally, they were not convinced. Then, before they could even see what happened, their strength, which had just been restored, was beaten so badly that they could no longer move. They felt hopeless. The girl even told them to be quiet and that she would finish reading the documents before saying anything else.
This is outrageous! If we push them too far, we'll report them to the police. We'll fight to the death.
Zhu Fanfan saw Xinye move slightly while lying on the ground and asked, "Do you still have the strength?"
Startled, Mr. Xin quickly said, "I'm all gone, I have no strength left. I'm old and recover slowly."
Zhu Fanfan didn't mince words: "You all know One-Eyed Dragon, Er Lengzi, and Tiger, right? Do you know where their hideout is? Especially their collection of gold and silver jewelry."
Upon hearing this, Master Xin immediately perked up, almost leaping to his feet: "Heroine, are you planning to double-cross us? How many of you are there? I'll tell you how many men those scoundrels have, what they're good at, and where they're located. If you had just told me you were looking for those three scoundrels' treasure, would we have had this misunderstanding? Look at the mess this has made, ugh..."
The woman was young but had a strong grip, and it hurt him terribly. He should have said he had a grudge against those three people, otherwise he would have avoided it. He usually has a good temper, but things haven't been going well lately, so his mentality has become a bit unstable. He never expected to be beaten so badly just for losing his temper once. He was wronged.
Zhu Fanfan took out the files of several people and showed them to him: "Look carefully, is there anything else you need to add?"
It was called a file, but it was really just a few people's information, all handwritten, except the paper was exclusive to the Public Security Bureau. Xinye was knowledgeable, and instantly imagined a grand drama of plainclothes investigation. Before they even caught anyone, he was already fantasizing about the three being executed, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Zhu Fanfan threw a clod of dirt at him: "I asked you to provide more information, what are you grinning about?"
Has she knocked Xin Ye crazy? He's smiling so sinisterly at those few pieces of paper that she suspects he's about to perform some kind of ritual.
