Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1748 The Stubborn Master
pong pong
The knock on the door sounded deep in the alley, seeming particularly abrupt in the silent night.

Fortunately, there were only two sounds, so it did not cause complaints from the surrounding residents.

Otherwise, if you get woken up in the middle of the night, you might end up cursing.

Of course, Lin Shen didn't want to attract the attention of people around him.

When he came here, he kept looking around, being cautious and alert.

After a while, just as he was about to knock on the door again, the door in front of him suddenly opened.

Seeing the middle-aged man opening the door, Lin Shen put down his hand and was about to speak, but the person inside raised his finger to his mouth.

Then she gestured for him to come in.

Lin Shen went in. The middle-aged man stretched his head to look outside. After making sure that there was no one in the alley, he walked up to Lin Shen.

"Why are you here? Didn't you say we can't meet in private?"

"If someone sees this, our relationship will be exposed, which will not be good for anyone!"

After hearing this, Lin Shen lowered his head, and the two of them walked into the house.

The middle-aged man didn't even turn on the light, but went to sit down at the head of the bed in the second bedroom.

"Brother Hu, I want to leave Sijiu City!"

As soon as he sat down, Lin Shen started talking.

The middle-aged man is the Brother Tiger mentioned by Lin Shen. He is also a local of this city, a grassroots who was born and raised there, but also a well-known gangster.

When Brother Hu was young, he carried a dagger in his pocket, and when he encountered problems, he was willing to risk his life.

Of course, Brother Hu is old now and will no longer engage in fighting and killing, but he still has a say in this city.

Especially those merchants on the street, many of them were taken care of by him.

He has not known Brother Hu for a long time, but he admires his loyalty and generosity.

This is different from the people in the compound. He prefers to play with people like Brother Hu.

Besides, Brother Hu also saved his life.

When he was reselling food coupons, he was chased and hacked by a gang of hooligans. The scar on his face was left at that time.

It was Brother Hu who saved him that time.

Then he followed Brother Tiger!
Under Brother Hu’s guidance, he also has his current “career”!
Hearing Lin Shen speak, Brother Hu's face darkened, "Brother, what happened?"

"Tell your brother, I will help you if I can!"

Brother Hu said this sincerely, and picked up the teapot from the table and poured a glass of water for Lin Shen!

Lin Shen took it, drank it in one gulp, and then told him about his family's affairs.

Of course, all he said was about wanting his son to be successful, and he chose to conceal the fact that the supervision team came to arrest him.

After hearing this, Brother Hu's expression became relaxed, as long as he was not running away due to any accident.

These days, running away also has a cost.

Besides, the people are watching, so it’s not easy to run away!
"Brother, listen to me. As children, there is no grudge against your parents..."

"Brother Hu, I know you treat me well, but I really don't want to stay in this house anymore. I want to leave here and leave Sijiu City."

Lin Shen's face was firm.

"Brother Tiger, I want to go to Xiangjiang!"

"Xiangjiang?"

Brother Hu was stunned, and then his expression became complicated!

"Yes, I'm going to Hong Kong. I want to make a name for myself there!"

Lin Shen said firmly.

Brother Tiger remained silent.

He felt that Lin Shen was a little abnormal today!
"Brother Tiger, you have to help me!"

"Brother, don't worry, I am a very loyal person and I will definitely help you!"

Brother Hu patted his chest and said this, and Lin Shen nodded happily after hearing it.

"By the way, Brother Hu, can you help me change the money I've left with you over the years into hard currency, gold and silver?"

"Of course, it would be even better if we could exchange it into foreign currency. Once we go there, we have to use the money there."

Lin Shen expressed his concerns, and Brother Hu frowned when he heard this, but then relaxed his brows.

"Okay, I'll take care of it!"

Brother Hu said this again with certainty, which made Lin Shen feel warm inside. It was not in vain that he made friends with this elder brother.

"Brother, stay here tonight. I'll go find some opportunities for you tomorrow and get you some money!"

"Okay, Brother Tiger, thank you so much!"

"Brother, why are you saying this?"

Brother Hu patted Lin Shen on the shoulder, then walked out the door and returned to his room.

Lying on the bed, the woman next to him leaned towards him, but Brother Hu pushed her away and thought to himself.

But the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong.

Lin Shen came too suddenly tonight. He knew something about their family situation, but it was not to this extent.

Why did things suddenly become awkward this time?

For people in their line of work, it’s never too cautious!

After tossing and turning, Brother Hu decided to investigate thoroughly tomorrow. He must not suffer a setback!

In the alley, outside the yard.

Wangcai walked in slowly, then stopped at the door. Without barking, he just looked at Yu Zecheng outside the alley entrance and wagged his tail!

"Remember this one and check it out immediately!"

Yu Zecheng knew that Lin Shen was among them.

Everyone left quickly, leaving only one investigator with Wangcai watching from a distance.

……

After Yang Xiaotao drove Li Nan back to the machinery factory, he prepared to go home and rest.

But as soon as I walked through the gate and passed the hanging flower gate, I almost bumped into someone.

Yang Xiaotao dodged quickly, and the visitor didn't expect that someone would come back so late.

After the two men stopped and looked at each other, Yang Xiaotao immediately walked inside.

But Qin Huairu stood there, biting her lips, feeling a little regretful.

I shouldn't have dodged just now. It would have been better if I had fallen directly into his arms.

However, Qin Huairu reacted quickly and ran out of the courtyard.

It’s so late, Shazhu should be back by now, so why is he still nowhere to be seen?
I have been planning for a long time today, one thing after another, and I hope nothing will go wrong.

But she hadn't taken the first step, which made her feel uneasy. This was already the third time she had come out, but there was still no one in sight.

When Qin Huairu returned to the central courtyard again, she subconsciously looked in the direction of the Yang family. She heard faint noises coming from the house, which made her quickly lower her head and run home.

On the other hand, Yu Zecheng, Xiao Liu and others also found out Brother Hu's information.

"Director, the person living here is called Hu Yong! He is a local of Sijiu City, 32 years old this year, unemployed, but he is a well-known troublemaker in this area!"

"A naughty boy?" "Yes, a guy who plays just for the sake of playing, has no proper job, and treats playing as a serious matter, and serious matters as playing."

Xiao Liu explained, "These guys existed before liberation, but they have become more popular in recent years. Many young guys call themselves gang leaders just to save face!"

“Actually, I’m just free.”

"But if these people are really ruthless, they can do anything."

Yu Zecheng frowned after hearing this, "The subdistrict office and the police station don't care?"

"How to manage them? They don't make mistakes or commit crimes, and some of them even have good relationships with the people around them."

Xiao Liu also said it out of helplessness.

However, Yu Zecheng quickly focused on the matter at hand, "This Hu Yong, is he Brother Tiger?"

Xiao Liu nodded, "This guy's nickname is Brother Tiger!"

"That's right, keep an eye on him!"

"Does a stubborn person have such great power?"

"You underestimate us!"

……

The next day, Lin Shen was still sleeping in the room when there was a knock on the door.

When Lin Shen got up, he saw a woman standing at the door, holding a plate with bowls and chopsticks on it.

Maybe because she was at home, the woman was dressed casually and looked mature, which made Lin Shen take a second look at her.

"sister in law!"

Lin Shen immediately reacted and shouted, but the woman smiled gently, "You must be the brother Lin Shen that Hu Zi mentioned. Your brother Hu said that he would treat you well."

"I made this breakfast for you, eat it while it's hot."

As she spoke, the woman walked into the house, and Lin Shen had no choice but to open the door and follow her in.

"Sister-in-law, where is Brother Tiger?"

Lin Shen looked at the woman who was setting the dishes and asked.

"He went out early in the morning, saying he had something to do."

"I'm always in a hurry, and I don't know what to do."

The woman set the table, wiped the sweat off her face, and tugged at her collar, revealing her snow-white skin.

Lin Shen took a look at it from the side, then lowered his head and sat aside to hide his embarrassment.

He knew that Brother Hu had gone out early in the morning, probably to run around for his business.

"Take your time eating. Call me if you need anything."

The woman walked out as she spoke, twisting her legs and revealing her spring scenery which could not be hidden by her loose clothes. Lin Shen glanced at her and his eyes became hot.

But he quickly suppressed his anger. She was his brother Hu's woman, and she was not something he could think about.

After breakfast, Lin Shen planned his next move.

I definitely can’t go back home.

But you also need to prepare some food.

Thinking of this, Lin Shen thought of Lin Quan.

After dinner, Lin Shen said goodbye to the woman in the house and rode out of the house.

But when he arrived at Lin Quan's home, he heard from his family that Lin Quan did not come back last night.

He thought the machinery factory was busy with overtime work.

This kind of thing happened frequently in the past.

Lin Quan was not at home, so he went to look for Lin Hai, but the result was the same, Lin Hai also did not come back.

This made him a little overwhelmed.

There are only these few people who have a good relationship with him.

I couldn’t find anyone from my family, so I decided to just go back to Brother Hu’s house.

On the other hand, Hu Yong got up early in the morning, left his residence, and wandered around.

This is also his daily routine. If put together, he might even be holding a birdcage in his hands.

Xiao Liu got the news and followed behind, recording the other party's whereabouts and the people he met.

Along the way, he visited restaurants, snack stands, gas stations, factories, and even the waste recycling station. It felt like a leader inspecting the work and he knew everyone.

If Xiao Liu and his team didn’t have enough people, there would be no way they could keep up.

Just when Xiao Liu thought that the other party was going home for dinner, he discovered that the other party was actually heading towards Lin Shen’s military family compound.

At this time, outside the military family compound, Qin Huairu looked at the people coming in and out with an anxious look on her face.

When she woke up this morning, she went to the coal yard.

It turned out that not only Sha Zhu was not there, but even the leader of the coal yard's supervision team was not there, which made her feel a little uneasy.

So she decided to come here and take a look, maybe she could meet Sha Zhu.

But no matter how long I waited, there was no one in sight.

At this time, Hu Yong came wandering over from a distance and also stopped at the gate of the military compound.

However, his attention was soon attracted by Qin Huairu standing beside him.

He looked her over and compared her with the one at home in his mind, and found that the woman in front of him was better in appearance and figure.

Seeing the other person looking inside from time to time, Hu Yong knew that he must be waiting for someone.

His mind changed, and he walked forward slowly.

"Comrade, do you need any help?"

Qin Huairu suddenly heard someone talking to him, and turned around quickly, and saw a thin man with a kind face walking towards her.

"Hello comrade, I'll just stand there, no need."

At this time, Hu Yong walked to Qin Huairu's side, looked down at her cheek and neck, and was more certain in his heart that this one was bigger.

"Ahem, female comrade, you have been standing here for so long and kept looking towards the military dependents' quarters. Is there something wrong?"

"Don't worry, I know someone in this hospital. If you have any difficulties, just tell me and I will definitely solve them for you."

Qin Huairu shook her head again and moved aside.

Hu Yong was not surprised when he saw this and continued waiting.

After a while, a group of people came out. Hu Yong saw one person walking by and hurriedly took out a cigarette and walked up to him to greet him politely.

Although the conversation between the two was not loud, Qin Huairu who was standing beside them could hear it clearly.

Qin Huairu was happy when she learned that Sha Zhu came here to look for someone.

But when I heard that the person ran away in shame, saying something about misunderstanding and apology, I felt disappointed again.

Sure enough, I thought too highly of myself.

When Hu Yong, who was standing by, heard the news, his face remained expressionless, but huge waves were rising in his heart.

There is indeed something wrong with this Lin Shen.
