Starting from 40, holding the Star Mall to lead the motherland

Chapter 45: Making a stumbling block

Thinking that the other party could even get something like this, Qi Han's heart was burning with anger: "Comrade Wang Chuan, have you never come into contact with the Dragon Guardian?"

Wang Chuan shook his head: "No. Lao Qi, I want to buy the shop next door and then connect it. The shop next door has a backyard. The Dragon Guardian can put his things in the yard when he comes. I can leave a message for him."

It is not convenient to change shops directly. It would be bad if the dragon guardian doesn't know about it. But if you buy the shop next door and connect it, there will be no problem.

Qi Han thought this was a good idea and supported his decision, but he also warned him not to come unless it was urgent. The situation was so tense right now that he could be caught if he wasn't careful. Once inside Cell 76, there was no getting out.

Ding Gaoming's men searched for three days and found five burn victims. However, after further investigation, they realized none of them were the ones they were looking for. Meanwhile, undercover agents in Chongqing reported that the Military Control Commission only learned of Wang Hanfeng's defection after his death. In other words, the killer wasn't a member of the Military Control Commission.

Chen Yongming pondered over it. The Military Control Commission and the Central Control Commission were so incompatible that it was impossible for the Central Control Commission to have assassinated Wang Hanfeng. As for the Red Party, it was even more unlikely. Because the Red Party would not risk helping the Military Control Commission eliminate a traitor.

After thinking for a while, Chen Yongming said, "Boss, could it be someone from the underworld?"

Ding Gaoming understood what he meant, but he didn't believe in coincidences. "Keep investigating. We must find this person."

Meanwhile, Han Hui bought three jade pieces on the black market, all crafted from the finest Hetian jade. While the saying "gold in prosperous times, antiques in troubled times" is true because gold is more portable in troubled times, top-quality antiques and jewelry are still readily available. These three jade pieces, for example, were the finest white jade, commanding a hefty price. Han Hui paid ten large yellow croakers for them.

As soon as she left the black market, Han Hui discovered that two people were following her, thinking they were taking advantage of her.

It was daytime, and firing a gun would cause panic and attract patrolmen. Although she wore a mask, she didn't want to show herself. After thinking for a moment, Han Hui headed towards a secluded area.

The two people who were following her didn't hesitate to chase her when they saw her turn into the alley.

"buibui..."

Han Hui fired twice, and when both men fell to the ground, she reloaded her gun and checked, finding that both men had been killed by gunshot wounds to the forehead. She was delighted that her marksmanship had improved again.

Afterwards, Han Hui went to antique shops and jewelry stores to buy jade ornaments and jade jewelry.

Han Hui spent twelve large yellow croakers on her shopping spree today. At this rate, even ten boxes of large yellow croaker wouldn't be enough! Business doesn't make money that quickly, but treasure hunting can make you rich overnight.

On the way back, Han Hui met a fish seller. She bought two fish and then bought two roast chickens.

As soon as she got home, Han Hui noticed Huang Shufen looking upset. She asked with concern, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"

Huang Shufen said angrily, "The landlord came over today and said she'd sold the house and asked us to move out tomorrow. I refused, so we had a fight. She said we should blame ourselves for offending someone, and there was nothing she could do."

Huang Shufen then burst into a rage, "That bitch! I've already put my divorce from Han Yongjing in the newspaper and haven't even asked them for the money, yet they still won't let us go."

They didn't know many people in Shanghai, so it was impossible for them to make enemies. Therefore, the only one who did such a despicable thing was Wang Anna.

Han Hui patted her back gently and comforted her, "Mom, aren't we worried about where to live after our eldest brother is discharged from the hospital? Now that the landlord won't rent to us, it's a good opportunity for us to find a spacious house."

Huang Shufen smiled bitterly and said, "Who wouldn't want to live in a spacious house? But we don't have that much money."

When she first moved in, she thought the house was too small, but after these days she realized that she lived quite well in Shanghai.

Han Hui smiled and said, "Don't worry about the money. I made a deal and now I'm rich."

Seeing Huang Shufen about to speak, she said, "Mom, don't worry! I didn't steal or rob, nor did I do anything against the law. I earned it all with my own ability, it's very clean." Huang Shufen actually knew that Han Hui went out a few nights, but she couldn't control it, so she simply pretended to be deaf and dumb: "Xiaoman, this place is not like my hometown, don't go out again. Your eldest brother is a college student. When he recovers and finds a job, he can support us."

Han Hui disagreed with her words: "Mom, my eldest brother will get married and have children in the future. It is natural to support parents, but what about supporting a younger sister? Even if my eldest brother doesn't mind, my future sister-in-law will be unhappy."

Huang Shufen didn't know how to refute.

Han Hui knew she was worried about her: "Don't worry, Mom, I won't take any dangerous jobs."

"Xiao Man, please don't let me, an old woman, send someone young off. I can't bear it."

Han Hui said a lot of words to calm him down, and then said she was going out to look for a house: "Mom, if big brother asks where the money came from, you can say that this money was left to us by grandpa and hidden in the old house."

Huang Shufen understood that she didn't want her eldest son to know what she was doing. After some hesitation, she agreed. After all, her son couldn't stop her if he knew, so it was better to keep it secret from him.

Han Hui went to see her previous agent, Aqiang, and told him about her rental needs: "The landlord wants us to move out tomorrow, so I need to find another place."

A Qiang hesitated and asked, "Miss Han, I wonder who you have offended?"

Han Hui had no such concerns as not airing dirty laundry in public. She said, "My father's second wife wants to drive us back to our hometown and bribe the landlord to force us to move out."

As soon as Aqiang heard about the family conflict, he agreed to help him find an apartment. The other party couldn't be a powerful person, otherwise he wouldn't have bribed the landlord to force the mother and daughter to leave, but would have directly tied them up and thrown them into the sea to feed the fish.

"What kind of house do you want to rent?"

Han Hui said tentatively, "I want to rent Zhangjia Garden. Do you have any rooms available?"

A Qiang was a little surprised. He didn't expect the girl to be so rich: "All the people who live in Zhangjia Garden are well-known people. The houses are only for sale and not for rent. If you want to buy, you need someone to guarantee it.

Han Hui didn't want to trouble the Chen family over such a small matter: "What about Jing'an Villa? If I want to buy it, do I need to find a guarantor?"

A Qiang looked at her in surprise and said, "The houses in Jing'an Villa don't require a guarantor. I happen to have two vacant rooms in Jing'an Villa, but the rent there is very expensive. Are you sure you want to rent it?"

"I want to see it."

The houses in Jing'an Villa are arranged in rows, and the exterior walls are made of red bare bricks.

A Qiang pointed at the gate and began to explain: "This gate is made of stone for the door frame and solid black lacquered wood for the door leaf, so it is also called Shikumen."

Quite interesting.

Walking through the door, you'll find a small open-air courtyard with flower beds on either side, planted with flowers and lined with flower pots. It's clear the previous resident was a flower lover.

A Qiang pointed at the house and continued to introduce it: "When the house was first built, the owner imitated the design of European townhouses, so the overall style of the house is European."

Han Hui has never been to Europe, but there are houses of all styles in StarCraft, so this is nothing special.
