"Damn it, what kind of family is this? They're not supposed to be doctors, are they? How come they're so poor?"

"Who knows, maybe he hid it?"

One of the petty thieves thought for a moment, then slapped his forehead as if he had just realized something, and said something with some doubt.

So the two of them went directly to the room where Xiaoyue used to sleep, and when they went in, they were immediately dumbfounded.

Xiaoyue's room was cleaner; besides an empty four-poster bed, there were a few broken wooden planks, a table, and a stool, but nothing else.

"What about all his things? Did he sell them all?"

"That's very likely the case."

"But he usually buys a lot of things, mostly food. Why is his family so poor now?"

"I no longer know."

"Forget it, leave him a dollar. Damn it, I've never seen a poorer bastard than us. How can a doctor have the nerve to do this?"

"gone!"

The two thieves angrily threw a one-yuan bill on the table, turned around, and climbed over the wall the way they came, disappearing into the darkness.

After watching the two petty thieves disappear, Zhang Tianhao finally stood up from his chair, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

Who knows how much stuff he took from the house? He just didn't want anyone to know how much stuff he had.

But unexpectedly, two thieves appeared in the middle of the night.

To his surprise, he still had one dollar left.

"Interesting, really interesting."

They actually left behind a dollar; at least the thief didn't leave empty-handed, leaving behind a dollar.

The more he thought about it, the funnier it seemed, but he calmed down and slowly rested.

……

About two hours later, Zhang Tianhao finally raised his head and looked around.

He took a deep breath, turned around and disappeared into the courtyard, arriving above the courtyard he had previously bought on Guangxi Road in the west of the city.

Looking at the person in the small courtyard below, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

He slowly descended and appeared directly at the woman's bedside. Looking at the woman on the bed, he gently hypnotized her.

Then I learned some things from this woman.

It turned out that the courtyard had been sold, and the girls had already moved away, but he didn't know where they had moved to.

He was also stunned.

After all, he didn't even know these women had moved, which he found rather amusing.

But it's just funny.

As for the specifics, he knew that there were piles of files in his space.

He could find these people anytime he wanted, but now was the time to go find them.

"It seems that selling this place is for the best. It's not good for everyone to stay together. It's safer if everyone has their own secrets."

He took a deep breath, then sat down at the woman's bedside, gave her a long look, and then disappeared into the courtyard as if she had never been there.

Thinking of this, he shook his head, not planning to go back now, since there were still some places he needed to visit.

……

Lin.

Zhang Tianhao appeared above the Lin family's residence and saw that there were very few people left. Most of them were servants, and the Lin family's children had almost all moved to northern Jiangsu.

He went to a servant's room in the Lin family home, looked at the Lin family's butler, and hypnotized him, seeing that the butler's eyes were glazed over. Before he had even woken up, he had already sat up.

"Where is your young lady, Lin Xiaowan?"

"Miss Xiaowan is already married. She married before the New Year to the Ma family, which is related to our Lin family!"

"Your young lady got married?"

Zhang Tianhao was also stunned. He never expected that Lin Xiaowan would get married, especially since she was one of his liaisons.

He frowned slightly and asked with some doubt, "How could Lin Xiaowan marry into the Ma family?"

“There was a problem at home, and in order to resolve the family troubles, the two families arranged a marriage, and the problem was solved.”

"There's a problem. What's the problem?"

"The Lin family has offended someone. The higher-ups want to deal with the Lin family and seize their wealth. So someone from above has listed a series of crimes to pin on the Lin family. As a result, the Lin family had no choice but to ask the Ma family for help. That's how the Ma family came up with their conditions."

Was the Ma family involved?

"I don't know, but it was the Special Service involved. That's all I know."

"Interesting. It seems quite a few people in Shanghai are getting restless!"

He sighed and asked again, in a low voice, "Is the Ma family in Shanghai now?"

"No, the Ma family has already left Shanghai and went to Hong Kong after the New Year. I don't know exactly where they are."

"They went to Hong Kong, what about your young lady?"

“They also went to Hong Kong, and our eldest son went with them.”

"Isn't the second young master in the north?"

"That might be nonsense. The second young master has gone abroad!"

Hearing the butler say this instinctively despite being hypnotized, Zhang Tianhao still felt that the butler was not bad.

As for the Lin family, only Mr. and Mrs. Lin remain now.

"By the way, why don't Mr. and Mrs. Lin leave here?"

“The head of the family needs to stay here in Shanghai, and Lin’s mother is reluctant to leave, so it’s been dragging on. However, there are far fewer businesses here in Shanghai, so there’s no need to worry about security.”

"Oh, so that's it!"

Zhang Tianhao also sighed, his expression somewhat dejected, but he could only say that they were destined to meet but not to be together.

Who knows when we'll see each other again?

Putting aside these thoughts, she whispered something to the butler beside her, and then saw the butler fall asleep again, as if everything had just been a dream.

Zhang Tianhao wasn't in a good mood either, so he flew directly to the homes of the other communications officers.

When he returned to his own courtyard after running around, his face looked quite grim.

Of the twelve messengers, aside from the one who died, the rest either left or got married, and no longer had much to do with him.

Ugh!
He sighed. He hadn't expected things to turn out so unexpectedly, or in a way he hadn't anticipated, deviating from his course.

"Perhaps it would be better for them to be ordinary people, without having to worry about these upsetting things. I'm the one who dragged them into this vortex."

He gave a wry smile, then pulled out a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor), opened the cap, and gulped it down. The pungent aroma hit him immediately, and it even had a hint of bitterness.

After all, who could have imagined that the correspondents he had searched for were no longer the ones he had initially thought?

He gave a wry smile, but he had no choice but to put that idea aside. After all, many of his people hadn't gone to look for them. It wasn't that he didn't want to; sometimes, he didn't need to go through that process.

If we go to meet them, that would be activating this piece; if we don't, it might be better for them to live peacefully as ordinary people. (End of Chapter)
