Zhang Beixing shrugged.

"Then do you have a better idea? So we can only try this."

Wu Jinhua finally agreed, and the two soon arrived at a house. At this time, Shui Danian had left the office and returned to his residence.

While the servants were cleaning, he went straight to the study, a place he never let anyone set foot in.

There were not many books in the study. He walked to the bookshelf and pressed a switch on the wall.

The wall cracked instantly, revealing a bed, on which lay a man who looked exactly like Shui Da Nian.

"Let me tell you about recent events today." Shui Da Nian sat down beside the bed.

The lying man said, "Are you going to keep doing this?"

Shui Danian patted the man's face.

"Yeah, anyway, you're the one who gets scolded in the end, I just want to enjoy the results."

The man said fiercely: "Shui Zhongyue, you are simply crazy!"

It turns out that the one lying there is the real Shui Da Nian, and the one who has been pretending to be the king is actually named Shui Zhongyue.

Half an hour later, Shui Zhongyue walked out of the study, returned to the office, and continued to play the role of Shui Da Nian.

Zhang Beixing and his companion also walked into a house where a middle-aged hunter lived.

When the hunter heard that they came to ask for water, he immediately gave it to them. Then, the two of them chatted enthusiastically.

It turned out that the hunter had always been single and had never married.

"Uncle, can you tell us what interesting things have happened in the village recently?" Zhang Beixing asked.

The hunter casually mentioned a few things, all of which were trivial and unremarkable.

"If you want to hear stories, go to the village entrance and find Liu Xiaoer. He knows a lot."

Zhang Beixing was delighted, thinking that perhaps he could find out something from Liu Xiaoer.

So, they followed the hunter's instructions and found Liu Xiaoer's home.

But the door was locked and even when I asked the neighbors, they didn't know where Liu Xiaoer had gone.

Zhang Beixing said he would take a look around first and come back later.

The hunter went home, and the two of them wandered around the entrance of the village.

Wu Jinhua said that this blind search was not a solution.

"Miss, didn't I tell you? There is no other good way."

It was dark, and Liu Xiaoer hadn't come back yet. Zhang Beixing had no choice but to go back first.

Shui Qingli asked them what the result was.

Zhang Beixing said, let’s go and have a look tomorrow.

"Are you okay today? Did that guy do anything to you?"

Shui Qingli said that it was relatively safe today and no one came to disturb him.

While having breakfast the next day, Shui Qingli saw a hot news on the Internet.

It is about the issue of islands, and international organizations have spoken out.

Most people support the neighboring country and believe that the islands should belong to Lin State.

The historical origins claimed by the Kyushu Empire are untenable.

There are two views now. One is that Lin State should have full management of the islands; the other is that the two countries should jointly develop and cooperate closely.

The second view is the mainstream, and few people fully support the Kyushu Empire.

Some countries, fearing being blamed, tend to agree with the second view.

Shui Qingli told Zhang Beixing about this and asked him not to be angry.

Zhang Beixing almost dropped Shui Qingli's phone.

"How can I not be angry? How can these people lie with their eyes open?"

Wu Jinhua was also very angry, but she felt that this result was not surprising.

The Lin Kingdom really put in a lot of effort to get the island.

"I admit that my father is also responsible for this."

Shui Qingli sighed.

At this time, Shui Danian called.

Shui Qingli knew that he came to show off.

She picked up the phone and put it on speakerphone.

"My dear niece, there is a hot news on the Internet. Have you seen it?"

"I just saw it, uncle, you are really good at it."

"Girl, don't say that. Your father also contributed a lot to this."

Shui Zhongyue burst into laughter.

"Don't forget to tell Zhang Beixing this news."

"Old man, don't worry about it. I, your grandfather Fang, knew it a long time ago!" Zhang Beixing said loudly.

When Shui Danian heard this, he was furious, but then he put on a smiling face again.

He asked Zhang Beixing what he thought about this.

Zhang Beixing sneered: "My feeling is that you are all a bunch of bastards. But Shui Danian, we don't have much time left. You should know the result in a few days."

Shui Danian snorted: "Of course I know, it's just a war. I said I don't like war, but since you like it so much, I will accompany you to the end."

Zhang Beixing corrected him and said that he didn't want war either.

"Then what do you mean by that?" Shui Danian asked puzzledly.

"Why are you so stupid? I will deal with you alone when the time comes." Zhang Beixing said bluntly.

He said that many people should not suffer because of one person's mistake.

"Since it's your fault, I'll just deal with you."

Shui Danian smiled even more proudly: "Okay, then I'll wait and see."

Zhang Beixing ignored him, Shui Qingli hung up the phone directly and praised Zhang Beixing for his good response.

But Shui Qingli was also worried. What was the point of arguing? Shui Da Nian was still free and at ease, dominating everything.

Zhang Beixing swore that he would solve the flood problem in three days.

"Don't say that. He is like a grasshopper in autumn and won't be able to jump for a few more days." Zhang Beixing comforted Shui Lili.

He knew that Shui Lili was not mocking him, but was just anxious.

Then they decided to continue looking for clues.

Shui Qingli and Shui Lili insisted on going together, and Zhang Beixing agreed.

An hour later, they came to Liu Xiaoer's house again.

This time, Liu Xiaoer was at home, brushing his shoes and humming a little tune.

He lives alone, his parents have passed away, and he is still unmarried at the age of 30 because he likes to be alone.

He was surprised to see four people, especially the three beauties.

Zhang Beixing asked: "Are you Liu Xiaoer?"

"It's me, so you've got the right person." Liu Xiaoer replied. Although he was surprised, he still politely invited them into the house and asked what they wanted.

Zhang Beixing and his friends lied that they were sightseeing nearby and that they had heard that Liu Xiaoer could tell stories and wanted to come and listen.

Liu Xiaoer laughed: "I didn't expect I still have this reputation. So what story do you want to hear?"

Zhang Beixing said that he wanted to hear real and interesting stories about the village.

He said he could pay, but Liu Xiaoer refused: "It's rare that you trust me so much, what fee? I'll tell you."

So he talked about some trivial matters, but Zhang Beixing was not satisfied because he did not hear what he wanted.

Shui Qingli glared at Zhang Beixing. She also felt that this method was inappropriate.

Liu Xiaoer might not know about their father, and even if he did, he might not tell anyone.

Zhang Beixing shook his head and pretended to be disappointed: "I thought you knew everything, but it seems there are things you don't know. Let's go."

Liu Xiaoer was anxious: "What do you mean? Why do you say that suddenly?"

Zhang Beixing said that what they actually wanted to ask was about an important person coming to the village.

He thought Liu Xiaoer would know, but it seems he was disappointed.

The three girls finally understood his intention, and Wu Jinhua said in agreement, "Yes, that's what we wanted to hear. So you didn't know, so why did we stay?"

Liu Xiaoer perked up when he heard this: "What? Are you asking about this?"

The four of them were secretly happy, it seemed there was a chance, he really knew it.

Zhang Beixing said, "Yes, what we just did was just a prelude. This is what I really want to ask."

As he said that, he looked at the three women and said, "Let's go and find a place to eat instead of wasting time here."

The three women nodded in agreement.

As they walked out, Liu Xiaoer couldn't help but say, "Hey, come back, I'll tell you about that. I can't let you look down on me."

Zhang Beixing smiled and said, "Didn't you say you didn't know?"

"Who said I don't know?" Liu Xiaoer patted his chest.

Zhang Beixing saw that he had taken the bait, and this method of provoking him was indeed effective.

The three women didn't expect it to be so smooth. It was really a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

On the other side, Shui Zhongyue stepped into the study again and faced Shui Da Nian.

"Are you going to hand it over or not?" he demanded.

Shui Danian raised his lips to smile: "Do you think I'm stupid? If I hand it over, I'll be dead. At least I'm still alive now."

Shui Zhongyue was furious and slapped him in the face: "Don't use my tolerance as a bargaining chip for indulgence! Tell me quickly, where is that thing hidden?"

Shui Da Nian remained silent.

"Even if I don't kill you, I will torture you. Aren't you afraid?" Shui Zhongyue threatened.

"Come on, if you want me to hand it over, it's impossible!" Shui Da Nian closed his eyes, looking indifferent.

Shui Zhongyue slapped him several times again: "Why didn't you let me search you? Oh yes, I searched you, but can't you hide the things on your body?"

"Sometimes you are smart, and sometimes you are very stupid. Why bother asking so many questions? Can't you think for yourself?" Shui Da Nian asked provocatively.

Shui Zhongyue slapped him again and twisted his ears: "Do you believe that I will torture you now?"

"I've told you very clearly, just come. Don't you understand?" Shui Da Nian was not afraid at all.

At the beginning of the month, Shui Danian wanted to bribe, but when he saw that it didn't work, he turned to a tough approach. However, he didn't expect that Shui Danian would not be moved by any tricks.

"Tell me quickly, what does it mean?" Shui Zhongyue was extremely anxious and almost collapsed.

"Shui Zhongyue, you are both smart and stupid, which makes me laugh and cry. Let me tell you a story." Shui Da Nian suddenly stood up and said he wanted to go to the bathroom.

He quickly got out of bed and walked to the bathroom in the study, then came out soon and sat down on the sofa.

"Don't be jealous, I'll just sit for a while and then go back to bed." He said leisurely.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. I'm very busy." Shui Zhongyue said impatiently.

"Busy? Then go ahead and be busy. I'm not asking you to come." Shui Danian shrugged.

Shui Zhongyue almost vomited blood, thinking that this guy was a scoundrel. He had no choice but to wait patiently, while watching Shui Danian warily, fearing that he would run away.

Shui Danian shook his head: "Don't worry, I won't run away."

After a few minutes, Shui Danian said, "Let me tell you a story. You know that almost the whole world is against drugs, right?"

Shui Zhongyue slammed the table and yelled, "What on earth do you want to say?"

At this time, a servant knocked on the door and asked, "Master, what happened?"

"It's none of your business, get out! I was talking in my sleep!" Shui Zhongyue yelled.

The servant left with a suspicious look on his face. Shui Danian chuckled and gave Shui Zhongyue a thumbs up: "You are really good."

Shui Zhongyue stared at him fiercely, wondering who was controlling whom? Why did she feel restrained by this guy?

"Don't be impatient, I'll tell you slowly. There is a story about a woman who was caught by a police officer for drug use. Guess what happened to her?" Shui Zhongyue was about to curse, but she held back.

"I don't know, tell me." He said coldly.

"In order to avoid being caught, she hid the drugs so that the police couldn't find them. Do you know where she hid them?" Shui Danian pretended to be mysterious.

"How should I know? What do you want to do?" Shui Zhongyue said impatiently.

"The woman hid the drugs in a private part of her body and took them out later, thus evading capture," Shui Danian said with a smile.

Shui Zhongyue found this topic extremely boring.

"I wanted to tell you that I also hid that thing. It's inside my body. Why don't you pay attention to it?" Shui Da Nian said slowly.

Shui Zhongyue was stunned: "What did you say?"

"I've finished talking. I'm going to rest." Shui Da Nian said and returned to the bed and closed the partition.

Shui Zhongyue was so angry that she slammed the table again, pondering the meaning of this sentence. Could it be that he really swallowed it?
On the other side, Zhang Beixing urged Liu Xiaoer to speak faster.

Liu Xiaoer asked them to close the doors and windows quickly.

The four of them acted quickly, closing the door and drawing the curtains.

Liu Xiaoer's expression was serious: "Who are you? Why are you asking about this?"

Zhang Beixing found it funny, and then realized: "We are novelists, and we are here to collect creative materials, don't think too much."

Liu Xiaoer felt that they still didn't tell the truth, but he nodded in the end, thinking that he couldn't go back on his word.

"A few days ago, when I was drinking with Wang Lao Hu who lives at the entrance of the village, he accidentally let the cat out of the bag." Then, Liu Xiaoer narrated what happened.

Wang Lao Hu was a hunter, but his life was very hard. His wife thought he was a coward and left him. He often came back empty-handed after hunting, and he was unwilling to go out to do other work.

That day, Wang Lao Hu suddenly asked Liu Xiao Er to drink. Liu Xiao Er said, "You don't have money, what kind of wine do you want to drink?" Wang Lao Hu said unconvincedly, "Who said I don't have money?" Liu Xiao Er happily accepted the invitation.

The two of them started drinking at the table, but Wang Lao Hu was not good at drinking and got drunk in a short while. He said that the reason he was rich was because there was a big shot imprisoned in his house, and he was responsible for providing food and accommodation, and someone gave him money. Their house had a basement, which was specially used for that person to live in.

As for who asked him to do this, he didn't know, but he knew that a masked man would come to trade with him. Liu Xiaoer was shocked and thought it was incredible. He knew that people speak the truth after drinking, so Wang Lao Hu's words should be true.

"This is the story I heard. I didn't ask him the next day because I knew he would never admit it, and I would be the one who would be embarrassed." Zhang Beixing and the other three were very happy after hearing this, and they thought that Shui Dazhou might be in Wang Laohu's house.

But was what Liu Xiaoer said true? Zhang Beixing said, "Okay, I will write this story in."

After that, the four of them left, and Liu Xiaoer sent them to the door. After a while, the three women asked Zhang Beixing what to do next, should he go find Wang Lao Hu immediately?

Zhang Beixing said: "We have to keep an eye on Liu Xiaoer and make sure he doesn't communicate with Wang Lao Hu. If he tells others about this, it will be bad."

But the three women felt that this possibility was unlikely. After all, Liu Xiaoer didn't want Wang Lao Hu to know that he knew about this.

"Who knows? It's hard to say right now. Let's be careful." Zhang Beixing decided to split his forces into two groups. He asked Shui Qingli and Shui Lili to keep an eye on Liu Xiaoer, while he and Wu Jinhua went to Wang Laohu's house to ask around. (End of this chapter)
