My sister broke off her engagement to marry someone richer? My older sister married me and became in

Scarface Liu's cotton-padded coat was damp with the chill of the night, and his face showed excitement.

"Boss," Scarface Liu said in a low voice, "the fish are out of the water."

Lu Qingshan raised his head, his eyes calm.

"I just came out of the family compound, riding a beat-up bicycle, heading towards the dirt road outside the county town."

"Judging from his appearance, he's planning to flee tonight."

Lu Qingshan took the cigarette out of his mouth and twirled it in his hand twice.

"What did you bring?"

"A tattered canvas bag, bulging and bulky, with a small bundle tied to the back seat," Scarface Liu recalled. "He rode incredibly fast, like a ghost was chasing him."

Lu Qingshan rolled up the blueprints in his hand and handed them to Old Wu, the foreman next to him.

"Old Wu, you keep an eye on this place. The foundation for the cold storage must be laid tonight."

Old Wu took the blueprints and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, boss, I guarantee there won't be any problems!"

Lu Qingshan took off his mud-covered gloves and threw them onto the pile of bricks next to him.

He told Scarface Liu, "You and your brothers guard the factory well; don't let a single fly get in."

"Boss, should I bring a few men...?" Scarface Liu made a downward cutting gesture.

Lu Qingshan shook his head.

"No need, your job is to guard the house."

After saying that, he turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing from the construction site lights.

Scarface Liu looked in the direction Lu Qingshan had left and knew that the boss was going to personally catch that slippery fish.

In the backyard of the county supply and marketing cooperative, Zhao Zhiqiang was pacing anxiously.

A green Beijing Jeep was parked in the middle of the yard, its front end gleaming.

Seeing Lu Qingshan emerge from the darkness, he took a few steps to greet him.

"Brother Lu, I've prepared the car for you, and filled it with gas."

Lu Qingshan patted him on the shoulder: "Thanks, Brother Zhao. I'll consider this car a rental; the payment will be deducted from the next shipment's payment."

"Don't be so formal," Zhao Zhiqiang said, shoving the car keys into his hand. "You helped me get those old ginseng roots; now my father-in-law can walk around in the fields again. It's nothing."

Lu Qingshan didn't stand on ceremony any longer, opened the car door and got in.

He rolled down the car window.

"Is your sister-in-law about to give birth? I'll have Xiulan send her some nourishing food from the mountains in a couple of days."

Zhao Zhiqiang's eyes welled up with tears, and he waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No need, no need, your sister-in-law is doing well."

Lu Qingshan didn't say anything more, nodded to him, and started the car.

The jeep's engine emitted a deep roar, its headlights piercing the darkness as it turned and drove out of the supply and marketing cooperative's backyard.

……

The dirt road leading out of the city was full of potholes.

Accountant Sun pedaled that old bicycle like crazy.

The bicycle chain creaked and groaned, as if mocking his futile efforts.

The cold wind felt like knives on his face, yet he was covered in sweat.

Sweat got into my eyes, making them feel stinging and painful.

He dared not stop wiping; he could only blink frantically, staring intently at the boundless darkness ahead.

We must leave here.

Gao Jianjun and that guy surnamed Lu have already started fighting.

He, the little accountant who held the secret, was like a bean caught between two millstones, ready to be ground into powder at any moment.

Going back to my hometown, yes, back to Sunjiagou, which is dozens of kilometers away.

Nobody could find him in that remote mountain valley.

As long as he can weather this storm and hide that deadly ledger, he still has a chance to survive.

Thinking of this, he put even more effort into his steps.

The bicycle was shaking violently, and the bundle tied to the back seat was almost falling apart.

He rode until his lungs felt like they were going to explode, and his legs ached as if they were filled with lead.

He wanted to stop and catch his breath, even if only for a short while.

But the county town behind him, like a lurking monster, kept him from relaxing his vigilance in the slightest.

Just then.

A deep voice came from the darkness behind him.

Buzz—Buzz—

It's the sound of a car engine.

Accountant Sun's heart skipped a beat, and her scalp tingled.

Have the forestry workers caught up with us?

Is it Gao Jianjun? Or Li Jianye?

They're going to kill them to cover their tracks!

The moment that thought crossed his mind, his blood ran cold.

He didn't dare look back, and used all his strength to pedal the bicycle as fast as he could.

The broken-down car let out a groan of unbearable strain.

But how could a bicycle possibly outrun a car?

The roar of the engine grew closer and louder.

It was like a heavy hammer, striking his back repeatedly.

Sudden.

Two blinding beams of light shot out from behind him, illuminating the night road in a ghastly white light.

His shadow, along with that of his car, was stretched long and thin, twisting wildly on the road ahead of him.

Accountant Sun panicked completely.

He wanted to turn into the wild field by the roadside, but the field was full of waist-high weeds and ditches, making it impossible to ride a bicycle in.

It’s over.

Just when he was in despair.

The car didn't crash directly into it.

It roared even louder and passed him silently from his left.

Accountant Sun felt a sense of relief, but before she could even catch her breath, she was relieved.

"Gah—!"

A piercing screeching sound of tires screeching against the ground rang out.

The green Beijing Jeep executed a beautiful drift, its body now sideways, firmly blocking the middle of the dirt road.

The car was facing him directly, its two headlights like two angry eyes, staring intently at him.

They completely blocked the road ahead.

Accountant Sun was so blinded by the glaring light that she couldn't see anything, and her mind went blank.

He instinctively squeezed the brakes.

The car was going too fast, and the brakes were too sudden.

"Bang!"

His legs buckled, and he and his bike crashed heavily to the ground.

My knees and elbows are burning.

The canvas bag also fell off the handlebars, and its contents spilled all over the ground.

A few tattered clothes and an enamel mug.

There was also a square tin box that rolled a long way with a clanging sound and came to a stop right under the wheels of the jeep.

That was all the wealth he had accumulated over the years.

Accountant Sun didn't care about the pain or the money.

He scrambled to his feet and turned to run back.

"Click".

The driver's side door opened.

A tall, slender figure stepped out of the car against the blinding light.

The figure moved slowly and deliberately, his leather shoes making a soft rustling sound as they stepped on the gravel.

Step by step.

It felt like stepping on Accountant Sun's heart.

The figure walked up to him, its tall body blocking the glaring headlights and casting a huge shadow that completely enveloped him.

Accountant Sun was finally able to see the person's face clearly.

But he would rather be blind.

A calm face, devoid of any expression.

A pair of eyes that shine brighter than a wolf's in the darkness.

It is Lu Qingshan.

Accountant Sun's legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the cold ground.

His mouth was open, but his throat felt like it was stuffed with dry grass, and he couldn't make a sound.

"Accountant Sun."

Lu Qingshan's voice was calm, as if he were asking a neighbor who was returning home late.

"Where are you going so late?"

Accountant Sun's body trembled violently.

Lu Qingshan didn't look at him again.

He bent down and picked up the mud-covered tin box from under the wheel.

He held it in his hand and weighed it in his hand, neither too light nor too heavy.

Then he went to the back of the jeep and opened the door.

He turned his head, looked at Accountant Sun who was slumped on the ground, and made a "please" gesture.

"The ground is cold, let's talk in the car."

Lu Qingshan's voice was completely calm.

"I know you have a lot to say to me."

"or……"

"You want to hear what I have to say."
