Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 837 Judging People
Wu Keji picked up his teacup, took a sip, and nodded: "Just wait patiently for the call! Someone like Lao Chen is usually quite efficient. I estimate we'll have results in a day or two at most!"
Young Master Ye's arrangements this time are clearly taken seriously; the pace is much faster than I expected. We'll need to make some adjustments to our subsequent plans!
Yue Feng scratched his head: "Grandpa, there's no one else at home right now. Tell me, what are you planning to do?"
Wu Keji's lips curled slightly, tugging at his mustache, and he shook his head with a smile: "It's not the right time yet! Just wait patiently. Have you found the two wounded men from Lei Laohu's hunting team? Who's in charge now?"
Yue Feng answered truthfully, "He's staying near the city hospital! Xiao Tao has already found someone there to take turns keeping watch with Xiao Wen! Those two kids have no experience and have been kept in the dark!"
Wu Keji nodded: "Okay, later you can mention it to Xiao Tao and Xiao Wen, and ask them to keep an eye out for anyone going over there to see them!"
Three members of the Thunder Tiger Hunting Team died, leaving only these two wounded soldiers. The person in charge of contacting them will treat them like dirt on their asses. They will either have to be properly taken care of, or they will have to find a way to shut them up forever!
Very few people know about this, so it's highly likely that Lao Ji will do it himself. This is the best opportunity!
"Huh? You mean, Old Ji might kill someone to cover it up?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Feng frowned.
"Yes! Only when these two people keep quiet forever will it be safe for Lao Ji, Qiao Muzhou, and the others!"
Otherwise, if they become witnesses, it will indirectly prove the relationship between Lei Laohu Hunting Team and them!
In this way, even if Lei Laohu's hunting team did not receive Qiao Muzhou's personal instructions, it can still become a link in the chain of evidence!
After you've had lunch, take some food and money and go to the hospital to visit them!
I need to get Lao Ji to start making noises first! Once he shows his true colors, it'll be easier to deal with him!
"Huh? Is there anything I need to say when I get there?" Yue Feng asked again after hearing what Grandpa Wu said.
Wu Keji smiled and shook his head: "No need to say anything, just bring some decent fruit or gifts that suit the person, and give some money too!"
The goal is simple: when Qiao Muzhou's people visit the patient, they need to hear from the patient that we were there!
Yue Feng nodded: "Okay, we have apples at home. We can also go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some frozen pears and canned goods, and give them some money too!"
If they ask about Lei Laohu and his group, we can't really say!
"That's right! If Lao Ji was planning to silence them, he definitely wouldn't have told them anything else, so you don't need to worry about anything being missed!"
"Okay! I'll head over after lunch!"
Wu Keji replied, "Yes, today and tomorrow should be the key time points."
Based on my assessment of Qiao Muzhou, if he knew that all his previous efforts had failed, he would most likely choose to find an unfamiliar place to hide and would not get involved with his other companions!
Even if Lao Ji is his old brother, he won't care about him at this critical moment!
This person is fundamentally flawed; he's utterly devoid of kindness and righteousness. He uses you and then discards you, as if he's afraid of getting involved himself!
"I don't know much about that, but ever since Tiger and I beat up Qiao Muzhou last time, his gang of cronies has almost all scattered! Nobody's standing up for Qiao Muzhou!"
"Hehe, let's handle it the way I told you first! We'll talk about the rest later!"
After dealing with the injured at the hospital, Lao Ji will most likely have to go into hiding. He probably won't show his face until this matter has completely calmed down!
I was quite worried about how to handle this matter properly, but with the help of the people sent by Young Master Ye, things have become much easier!
The people I found aren't locals, so their intelligence gathering efficiency is much lower. I've decided to keep them out of the public eye until it's absolutely necessary. Xiao Hui and the others, have you made all the arrangements?"
Yue Feng replied, "It's all arranged. We'll be staying temporarily in an old house in the next village. There are hardly any villagers around there, so it's quite quiet! It's an old house belonging to a relative of Xiao Wu's, and they'll take care of everything, from food and drink to using the toilet!"
"That's fine for now, just let them stay put!"
……
Wu Keji chatted with Yue Feng and his son for a while, and soon it was noon.
Wang Xiaona prepared another table of delicious dishes. Yue Feng had a few drinks with Wu Keji. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, he asked his wife to fill two large bowls with stewed meat. He then told his family and rode his motorcycle out the door.
Grandpa Wu made the arrangements, and Yue Feng naturally followed suit. He took the fruit he brought from home, went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy frozen pears and canned goods, and rode his bicycle to the city hospital with a lot of things in his hands.
When Yue Feng arrived at the hospital where Xiao Si and Xiao Wu were hospitalized, he saw Xiao Tao squatting on a chair at the end of the corridor, looking down and flipping through a book on the Three Kingdoms.
This guy was pretending to read, but he was actually keeping an eye on things. Every now and then, he would look up and glance at the door of the patient's hospital room.
Seeing this, Yue Feng picked up his things and strolled over to Xiao Tao.
"Have you had lunch yet?" Yue Feng asked in a low voice.
"Brother, what brings you here? I've already eaten!" Xiao Tao immediately put down his book and said.
"The old man asked me to come over for something, to check on the wounded. Here, have a couple of apples for you to eat?" Yue Feng reached into the cloth bag containing apples and started taking them out.
In those days, winter fruits were limited, and the old-variety Guoguang apple was one of the few fresh fruits available in Northeast China during winter. However, most families wouldn't be willing to spend much money on it unless it was a holiday.
Xiao Tao didn't stand on ceremony with Yue Feng: "Hehe, I'm actually a little thirsty!"
Yue Feng picked out two large ones and handed them to Xiao Tao, then said, "You stay here and don't go in. When I leave, I'll just go downstairs without saying goodbye!"
When Lao Ji or other people from Qiao Muzhou's side arrive, don't make a sound. Just observe quietly and keep an eye on the wounded!
"If the injured person is discharged, one of you stay and keep an eye on them, while the other goes to Vice President Hu's office to call home!"
"Leave one person? Just me?" Xiao Tao scratched his head, feeling utterly overwhelmed.
"I told Xiaowen he'll be here soon! You two be careful, it'll be a bit tiring, but make sure you don't miss anything!"
"Don't worry, I promise to complete the mission!"
"Then I'll go inside first!"
……
After saying hello, Yue Feng carried his things and went to the wounded's ward.
In the ward, the fourth brother was lying in bed receiving an IV drip.
After being injured, he was sent down the mountain to the hospital for treatment, and the fourth brother's life was saved.
However, he was ambushed by that mutated tiger and was seriously injured, with external injuries and fractures. He is currently lying in bed and cannot move. He needs his companion's help to even turn over.
Bang Bang Bang!
Yue Feng glanced through the glass to make sure he hadn't mistaken the room, then gently knocked on the door.
"Who?"
The fifth brother looked up and glanced towards the door, just in time to see Yue Feng's smiling face.
The next second, the fifth brother immediately got up, walked quickly to the door, and opened it himself.
"Chief Yue, what brings you here!"
Xiao Wu had a very good impression of Yue Feng. It could be said that the medicine Yue Feng gave him was indispensable in keeping Lao Si alive.
Yue Feng grinned and carried canned fruit and stewed meat into the house. "I just came down from the mountain. I happened to be at the hospital on business, so I stopped by to see you all!" Yue Feng said with a smile.
"Oh dear, you've come all this way, but why did you bring so much stuff!"
Xiao Wu's eyes widened when he saw the frozen pears and apples, plus two cans of oranges.
Of these things, only frozen pears are slightly cheaper; the rest are rare items that ordinary families can't afford.
Yue Feng opened his pocket and took out the bowl of stewed meat that had been frozen inside.
As Yue Feng leisurely picked up the items, he said, "They're nothing precious. I'm just recovering in the hospital and getting some nutrition!"
By the way, my wife asked me to bring this stewed meat. We'll heat it up and eat it later; it'll definitely be better than the hospital food!
Xiao Wu's eyes widened when he saw the meat.
Xiao Wu had a limited amount of money from the luggage at the hunting team's lodging location. The hospitalization cost the majority of it, and recently, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu's food allowance has been quite low, usually consisting of cheap vegetarian dishes, for fear of overspending and not having enough money to pay for their medicine.
"Fourth brother, look! Chief Yue has brought you fruit and stewed meat!" Little Five hurriedly went to greet the fourth brother, who was fast asleep with an IV drip.
"No, don't call him! He's injured, he needs to rest to recover quickly!" Yue Feng whispered a few words to stop Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu finally stopped moving.
"Hey, Yue, how are our leaders doing? Judging by the time, they should be coming down the mountain soon, right? Did they manage to kill that mutated tiger that was attacking people?" Xiao Wu continued to ask.
Yue Feng shook his head: "We didn't hit it, and we lost track of it. We searched the mountain for another day but couldn't find it, so we turned back!"
As for your leaders, I don't know anything about them; I didn't run into them on my way back!
"Oh, okay! Looks like we'll have to stay on the mountain for a few more days!"
"That mutated tiger was incredibly cunning and super fast. We followed its footprints for a while, then lost track of it. We don't know where it went after that!" Yue Feng made up on the spot.
"Yeah, I've never seen a tiger like this before!" Xiao Wu chimed in casually.
At this moment, Xiao Si, the wounded soldier who had been rummaged through, woke up.
He opened his eyes and looked at Yue Feng, then Lao Wu repeated what he had said earlier. After a brief pause, Xiao Si finally came to his senses a little.
"Thank you, Chief Yue, for the medicine you gave me that day! If it weren't for those two insurance pills, I might be finished!" Xiao Si thanked him very sincerely.
"Hehe, once we're in the mountains, we'll definitely help if we can! It's just a small favor! How are you feeling now?" Yue Feng chuckled.
Xiao Si shook his head slightly: "The doctor said I have a slight concussion. Even a slight sway makes me dizzy! I'll just rest for now. I'm lucky to have survived this trip into the mountains!"
"Alright, you can rest assured and take care of yourself! I have to go! Oh, right, take this!" Yue Feng stood up and took out two ten-yuan bills from his pocket.
"This...this is too much!" Xiao Wu's heart skipped a beat when he saw Yue Feng offering money.
Yue Feng waved his hand: "Meeting you is fate. You haven't even come down the mountain yet, and you'll have a lot of expenses in the hospital. You can't just eat porridge and pickles every day to recover! Consider this a loan from me. We'll talk about it when I have the money!"
"Then thank you very much, Chief Yue. We will definitely come to thank you in person once we get down the mountain!" Xiao Wu took the money and made a solemn promise.
"Haha, no problem! Stay here, I'm leaving!"
Yue Feng chuckled, then got up and left the room, quickly disappearing around the corner of the stairwell.
After seeing Yue Feng off, Xiao Wu returned to the ward, turned around, and closed the door.
At this moment, Yue Feng quietly returned and listened carefully to the sounds inside the house.
Xiao Wu said to Xiao Si, "Fourth Brother, Chief Yue looks young, but I didn't expect him to be such a good friend!"
You've been hospitalized for so long, and he's the only one who's come to see us!
Xiao Si said, "Yes, he doesn't know yet that our leader listened to someone else's information and deliberately followed their hunting team!"
Last time they gave me medicine, this time they gave me money, and it worked incredibly well!
How much money did they leave behind before they left? Going into the mountains to hunt is all about skill, but this money is different. We have to pay them back once the boss comes down the mountain!
Xiao Wu said, "Twenty! With this money, we can eat something good! We eat nothing but bland food all day long, it's so tasteless!"
Oh, and stewed meat too! It'll smell so good when we heat it up for dinner!
"Okay! We'll do it your way!"
……
Yue Feng, who was eavesdropping outside the door, frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "Waiting for your boss to come back? Your boss isn't coming back!"
Judging from their words, the two brothers probably didn't know that Lei Laohu had ambushed them and stolen their prey! So, since they were unaware of the situation, they couldn't be considered accomplices in the murder and robbery!
Having obtained the information he needed and completed the "people-watching" task, Yue Feng strode out of the corridor, quickly went downstairs, and headed straight for the parking shed to go home.
Less than an hour and a half later, a middle-aged man, bundled up tightly, quietly arrived at the hospital ward.
Xiao Tao and Xiao Wen, who had just arrived, were chatting on a chair when they heard footsteps and instinctively looked up, seeing a middle-aged man enter Xiao Si's room.
"Hey, someone's here!" Xiao Tao said in a low voice.
Xiaowen said, "You stay here and keep watch, I'm going to call home!"
"it is good!"
……
In the other room, Old Ji took off his hat and scarf, revealing his unshaven face.
"Uncle Ji, what brings you here!"
The fourth brother knew Lao Ji; it was Lao Ji who received and arranged for their hunting team to come to Fengcheng.
"Your boss had some trouble on the mountain, so I've arranged to come and pick you up!"
Old Ji casually recited the lines he had prepared beforehand, his gaze sweeping over the fruit and canned stew on the bedside table.
"Something happened? What happened? Are you injured or what?" Xiao Wu asked with concern.
"He's alright, he got into a fight and shot someone! We don't know the extent of his injuries or if they're fatal yet, so we have to lay low! Has anyone been here?" Old Ji asked, pointing to the fruit and canned food by the bedside.
"Ah? It was Foreman Yue who came at noon! He's the young foreman who gave us the life-saving medicine on the mountain! They went down the mountain early and left us twenty yuan before they left!" Xiao Wu said without any suspicion.
Upon hearing this, Lao Ji's heart skipped a beat, and a layer of white sweat instantly broke out on his back.
"What did he say?" (End of Chapter)
