Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 166: Strike first to gain the upper hand

By the time Li Yancheng and Jin Zhihai returned home, it was almost twelve o'clock.

After coming back, the two of them didn't say anything more and went back home to rest.

Li Yancheng had just finished washing and was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard someone carefully moving his window.

"Who?"

Swish, the Type 54 pistol that had been with the safety on and loaded in his space appeared in his hand.

Just as he reached out to pull the light cord to dim the light in the room, Xiao Ningning's voice came from the window.

"Brother Dacheng, it's me."

To be honest, if it wasn't so late and so quiet, he might not have been able to hear the girl's voice.

Li Yancheng rolled his eyes in annoyance, stood up from the bed, flipped his hand, and the gun in his hand disappeared again.

He walked to the door and just unbolted it when Ningning squeezed in from outside. As soon as she came in, she started giggling foolishly with a red face.

Looking at the neatly dressed little girl in front of him, Li Yancheng raised his hand and rubbed her head speechlessly: "Why are you running into my room so late at night? You are such a grown-up girl, and you have no shame."

"Hey, Dacheng, what were you doing with my brother just now?"

Ningning didn't respond to him. It seemed that her hands were cold, so she ran to the stove and placed her tender little white hands over the stove to feel the heat.

"We went out for something. Didn't you go back to bed at eight o'clock? Why do you look like you haven't slept at all?"

"I didn't sleep." Ning Ning shook her head: "Brother Dacheng, Aunt Zhang is going to bring that teacher over tomorrow, why haven't you even cleaned up the house?"

"I'll get up early tomorrow and clean up."

"So how are you going to treat us to dinner tomorrow?"

"Your brother asked me to make a big plate of chicken. I'll go to the market early in the morning and buy two chickens."

"Hehe, we can eat big plate chicken again. I'll help you clean up tomorrow." Ningning patted Li Yancheng's arm like a little adult.

Looking at the girl's eyes rolling around, Li Yancheng smiled secretly in his heart for a while.

"Okay, go back to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow."

He reached out and held Ningning's head, turned her to face the door, and pushed her forward hard, signaling her to go back to her room quickly.

"But...but..."

"No buts, go back to sleep."

The girl wanted to speak but was interrupted by Li Yancheng, who pushed her on the back and pushed her to the door.

"Oh, just go to sleep." Ningning turned her head and glanced at Brother Dacheng behind her. Her little mouth was pouting so much that an oil bottle could almost be hung on it.

"Be good, tell me if you have anything to say tomorrow. It's too late now, and it's not appropriate for you to stay in my house."

"But my brother agreed."

After hearing these words, Li Yancheng's heart beat violently a few times. He sighed helplessly in his heart. This girl finally said these words.

Neither tight defense nor slow defense could stop it.

"Even if your brother agrees, I can't agree. Jin Wenning, go back to your room and sleep now, immediately."

"Just reply if you want, why are you calling me by my full name?"

Looking at the girl's depressed little face and her eyes that were beginning to turn red, Li Yancheng's heart couldn't help but soften.

"Ningning, you are still young..."

"Then just wait for me for a few years and I'll grow up. Didn't my brother tell me that?"

wipe!
How should he respond to this?

Do you mean to just say that I can't sleep alone at night and I urgently need someone to accompany me?

"Brother Dacheng, don't you like me?"

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ningning stared at her big eyes and blinked hard, as if trying to squeeze something out, but unfortunately failed. She sighed dejectedly and asked somewhat depressedly.

"What you said is nonsense. Of course, Dacheng likes you, but..."

"That's fine. We've made a deal, Dacheng. You have to wait for me. Tomorrow's blind date can only fail, not succeed. See you tomorrow."

Without waiting for him to finish what he was saying, Ningning leaned over and hugged him, said something quickly, then turned around, opened the door and jumped out, as if there was a man-eating wolf behind her and she would be eaten if she didn't run fast.

"I... Shit... When did this girl learn to take things out of context?"

Li Yancheng was so shocked by Ningning's sudden action that he stood there for a long time before he came to his senses.

When he thought of what the girl said before she ran out, his face suddenly fell, and the length was almost as long as a horse's face.

He was so angry that his teeth were itching, and he wanted to rush over, drag Jin Zhihai out of the house and beat him up.

Look at what this has become, ah...

No matter how upset he was, things had come to this point and he had no good solution for the time being. He could only wait and see if that girl was just a flash in the pan and would be fine in a couple of days.

He had originally planned to go to bed, but after all this tossing and turning, he lost all desire to sleep, so he simply closed the door and walked over to sit by the stove.

He first picked up the thermos on the ground and made himself a cup of coffee. Then he lit a cigarette, drove away what had just happened in his mind, and thought seriously about what he had said in Lao Xu's office.

What Lao Xu said at that time was a good direction for investigation. On the way back, he thought of another point, which was what Xiao Yuan said, that the suspect's hands did not look like the hands of someone who did rough work.

If you are a security guard, you are usually responsible for cleaning. You have to take turns using a big broom all day long. In winter, you also have to clear the snow on the road at the gate. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for such a person's hands to be kept in such good condition.

Is there another possibility that this person lives in the unit, his job is mental labor, and this unit has no security guard after get off work at night, and it would be best if this unit also has a yard.

So what does this person do?
Finance? Office staff responsible for writing? Logistics? Or simply the leader?
The more he thought about it, the bigger Li Yancheng felt his head got. He picked up the teacup beside him and gently blew away the crumbs floating on it. He didn't mind the heat and drank several small sips from it.

At this moment, he thought of what Su Xiaotong had said to him this afternoon. He had to go to Hong Kong Island, but he had to wait until the case was thoroughly understood, or until there was no way out and he had to go.

Su Xiaotong helped him to lobby for this in the bureau. The new Director Shen didn't say anything, but just said that it was too early to consider this issue now, and he would consider it when he had to go.

Director Zhong's attitude was quite straightforward and he nodded in agreement right away.

But Su Xiaotong also said that if they were to go to Hong Kong Island, it would definitely be very dangerous, because there would be only three or four people at most, and they would not be able to provide any personnel assistance.

There they had to look for people from the Chen family and also hide from the police.

And there is one biggest problem, that is, if the case here is solved successfully, they may not have any hard tasks in the past.

If the gate is not broken and they have to go, they must bring back at least one of the main members of the Chen family alive.

In this case, the mission difficulty is at the highest level.

Chen family!

Li Yancheng sat there holding a teacup in his hand, his eyes staring in one direction without focus.

He didn't have any good feelings towards this family that almost killed the original owner and was now damaging the country's interests.

As for the saying that a husband and wife get married for a day and are bound by a hundred days of grace, haha, that applies to the original owner, not to him.

Just like that, Li Yancheng sat here with random thoughts in his head. He drank three cups of tea without realizing it, and then he lay down on the bed to take a nap.

It was almost three o'clock at this time.

Just as he lay down, in a small courtyard twenty kilometers away, two middle-aged men were sitting in the dark and communicating in the yard.

"Why did you come to my place without saying hello? What happened?"

A slightly hoarse male voice was heard from the darkness, the tone full of doubt and dissatisfaction.

"Nothing happened. The main reason I came here today was to ask you, why did you take the risk to put the letter there? Did you know that it was a futile effort? Did you know that it would only leave more traces?"

The other middle-aged man's voice was relatively normal, but his tone was a little off, and he seemed very angry.

“Haha…” The hoarse-voiced man smiled, “I know. How could I not know? I never thought that with just that letter, I could make that guy obediently help me kill people. I did it on purpose. If I didn’t do this, how could we get them to move? If they don’t move, how can we know what they are doing?”

The other man obviously didn't believe what the hoarse man said. He snorted and said, "This is the last time. If you dare to act without my permission again, you dumped the body last time, and I will dump your body next time."

"You..." The hoarse man seemed to have not expected that he would be threatened like this, and he suddenly became a little excited. But before he could say anything, the middle-aged man sitting not far opposite him continued speaking.

"I know what you're thinking. It's because your brother died at the hands of that brat. You want to avenge your brother. Of course you can. I will never stop you, but the premise is that you can't ruin my good deeds.

After this mission is completed, as long as you have the ability, even if it means to torture him to death, I will never say a word and will help you instead.

But now... listen to me carefully. You just need to go to work obediently during this period of time. When the time is right, I will give you orders to carry out the mission.

You should know that this is our last mission. After it is over, you can do whatever you want and go wherever you want. I will never stop you."

"call……"

The hoarse man exhaled heavily. He didn't say anything, but reached into his pocket to take out a cigarette. At the moment the match was struck, his beard could be seen in the reflection of the fire.

After lighting the cigarette, he didn't care whether the other party could see it or not, and nodded to himself: "I know, don't worry, I will definitely not ruin your business."

"It's not my fault, it's ours. By the way, there is one more thing I want to remind you. Now is the most critical time. The last batch of supplies may arrive at any time within a month.

As long as those things arrive, we can't tell when we will take action, so during this period of time you should not look for your lover.

I give you some money, but you throw it all on women. Damn, sooner or later you will die on a woman's belly."

"Haha, you are a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. You have a wife, and I am a bachelor with a strange disease. What should I do if I don't look for a wife outside?"

"I asked someone to prescribe you some medicine. You'll have to work hard during this period. Just use the medicine to relieve the pressure. I still say the same thing. Once the mission is completed, you can do whatever you want."

"Where's the medicine?"

"I have had them made into honey pills for you on the table in your room. This way it is convenient to take. Take one pill a day after meals."

"That medicine won't turn me into a eunuch, right?" the hoarse man asked in a doubtful tone.

"It's not like you haven't eaten it before, but last time you fried it yourself. This time I asked someone to make it into honey pills for you. You should know whether it will make you a eunuch or not."

"It's the same medicine as last time?" Hearing that it was the same medicine as last time, the hoarse man was obviously relieved.

"Um"

"I see."

"Remember what I said. Stay here obediently for a while. Don't go anywhere. Wait for my notice to get supplies at any time. The money you want most will arrive this time. Don't think about revenge at this time. I will help you when the time comes."

"clear"

"Okay, I'm leaving." The middle-aged man patted his thigh and stood up.

The hoarse man sat there without moving, smoking a cigarette, and watched the figure disappear around the corner in the moonlight. Then he snorted coldly, stood up and walked into the dark house next door.

Soon he came out again and looked carefully at the paper box in his hand in the moonlight.

The box contained about fifty or sixty black pills the size of a thumb egg.

After looking at it carefully for a while, he put the box under his nose and smelled it, then closed the box again and put it on his legs.

The hoarse man looked up at the sky, looking at the stars in the night sky, and muttered to himself: "You are too anxious. You want to get rid of me before the mission is completed. Is it because I am the only one who knows your identity?

But have you ever thought that you are the only one who knows my identity. If the next batch of money had not arrived yet, do you think you could have left here just now?
You dare to threaten me, haha, old man, the next time we meet, you will be dead. I'll let you do it a few times, do you really think you can beat me with your hands and feet? "

In the night, he just tilted his head back and stared blankly at the night sky. For a moment, his brother's figure appeared in front of him, and then it changed to the appearance of Li Yancheng.

After a long time, he sighed slowly and sat up straight.

Although he was dissatisfied with the guy just now and planned to strike first, he also knew that what the guy said just now was true, that is, he really needed to calm down during this period of time.

From dumping the body in January to delivering the letter a few days ago, he showed up twice in just two months, which indeed increased his risk of being exposed.

He had no intention of going out again until he got the money and got rid of the old man. He planned to stay in this small courtyard until those two things were done, and then he would deal with the doctor himself.

Finally, take the money and flee under another identity.

I think the "small yellow croakers" he had saved before, plus the ones in the upcoming batch, should be enough for him to live a carefree life in Hong Kong Island.

I wonder if the women over there are attractive enough?
As soon as he thought of this, he felt a surge of evil fire rising in his lower abdomen.

"Gan"

The hoarse man cursed fiercely, stood up and walked towards the house with gritted teeth.

Soon, this small courtyard returned to silence, leaving only the bright moon in the sky, still hanging there, casting a little light borrowed from the sun on the earth.

……

The next day, Sunday, was March 23rd of the 20th year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the sixth day of the second month of the lunar year of Siyou.

Li Yancheng, whose soul has traveled back through time for more than a year, has his first blind date.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Aunt Zhang from the neighborhood committee came over with the girl Zhao Yanan.

Everyone in the yard was very conscious and no one was watching, probably because they were worried about scaring the girl. Only Xiao Ningning seemed to want to say something, but before she could open her mouth, her sister-in-law twisted her ears and dragged her into the house.

In Li Yancheng's room, after Aunt Zhang introduced them to each other, she made an excuse to leave and asked them to talk on their own and come back to her if they had any questions.

The old lady understood. If she were around, the young man would be too embarrassed to say anything, so she simply left and left him some space. It would depend on the two of them whether they could come up with anything.

Zhao Yanan didn't seem to expect that Aunt Zhang would just leave. She thought she was just here to take a look around and leave, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this. She was a little flustered for a moment, sitting there not knowing what to say, just lowering her head and playing with her fingers.

Li Yancheng was also a little dumbfounded, but he still had to find the right topic to talk about. They couldn't just sit there like that.

But what to say?

Got it!

After a quick thought, he thought of a topic.

"Hey, Comrade Zhao Yanan, do you know Guo Pingyu?"

"Swish"

The girl who was originally playing with her fingers suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Yancheng in surprise, but the surprise on her face soon turned into anger.

"You...you're investigating me?"

"You misunderstood." Li Yancheng waved his hands quickly: "I don't even know your name, how can I investigate you?"

"Then how do you know my mother's name?"

"Because your mother came to our unit to look for me yesterday at noon."

"What did you say?" Zhao Yanan stood up in shock, as if he had heard something extraordinary.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, sit down and talk slowly."

"You said my mother came to see you yesterday at noon?" Zhao Yanan seemed not to hear Li Yancheng's words. She stood there and stared at him and asked.

"Yes, about one o'clock yesterday afternoon."

"A little after one o'clock?" Zhao Yanan was so angry that he laughed when he heard the time.

This old lady, she ran to find someone else as soon as she left my place. She is just causing trouble for me.

"What did my mother tell you?"

"Uh...Comrade Zhao Yanan, could you please sit down and let's talk slowly? I'm not used to talking like this."

"Huh? Oh, sorry, I just got a little excited when I heard my mom was looking for you."

"It's okay, drink some water."
