Before everything goes out

Hehe~

Hehehe~

Hehehehe~

In the bedroom.

Yuan Dahai sat on the edge of the bed, grinning foolishly.

Half an hour ago, after settling Li Fei and his group in, he closed the door and sat by the bed with a smile for a long time.

at last.

After humming several nameless tunes with his legs crossed, he suddenly remembered something, crawled under the bed and rummaged around for a while, found a chef's hat, put it on his head, and kept looking at himself in the dressing mirror.

"Look how happy you are, is it really that big of a deal?"

next to.

His wife, Chen Fang, held the little mute boy and gently rocked him.

She knew that whenever her husband had a happy occasion, he would spontaneously perform this ritual at home, a habit he had developed over the years since they opened the restaurant.

such as.

In the first winter after the disaster, his family went through many hardships to move from the suburbs to this high-rise building. Yuan Dahai spent that night in the same blissful state.

She knew that her husband dressed up like this not to do anything special, but simply to look in the mirror and relive the feeling of being in the kitchen, flipping a wok with great flair.

"What do you know? From now on, we won't have to be bullied anymore!"

Yuan Dahai chuckled.

As he spoke, he hunched over in front of the mirror, carefully adjusting his chef's hat and smoothing out the wrinkles as much as possible.

Double happiness, absolutely double happiness.

The first joy is that the abducted son has been found again.

The fact that a renowned military officer in the city chose to stay at their house for the night was the second pleasant surprise.

The first joy is family reunion, which is natural.

And the second joy...

"Think about it, from the moment the soldier entered the community gate, the neighbors were watching. They saw him come home with us in a friendly manner, and then they saw him stay at our house for one night..."

"Tell me, if you were them, what would you think?"

Yuan Dahai asked Chen Fang this question.

Before his wife could answer, he interrupted her and answered again.

"They'll definitely wonder, what's the relationship between Chef Yuan and these soldiers? Are they distant relatives? Or something else?"

Whatever it is, the relationship is definitely not ordinary. Otherwise, why would the general live in our house when there are so many households in this community?

"Wait until tomorrow morning, until they see the general leaving our house, then this matter will be completely settled."

Yuan Dahai spoke with great enthusiasm.

This is natural.

If they can really get in touch with the military officer through Yangyang in the future, their lives will definitely be much more comfortable.

Even if they couldn't make contact, it would be enough for him for a few military officers to stay at his house for one night.

Correct.

"Distant relatives".

He had already figured out how to explain it to his neighbors.

These soldiers were his distant cousins ​​whom he hadn't seen for many years. They were passing by and decided to visit him and bring him some things to improve his life.

such.

From now on, he won't have to put up with anyone's attitude in this neighborhood, especially those few domineering vagrants.

"Is it really that effective?"

Chen Fang was somewhat skeptical, feeling that it was just Yuan Dahai's excessive fantasy.

"Hehe, just you wait and see. That old dog Cui from Building Three, who borrowed our rice and then denied it, do you believe that if I go to him again in a couple of days, he'll have to come crawling back to us without me even having to say a word?"

Imagining what would happen next, Yuan Dahai beamed with joy.

No.

This time, it's not just about rising in status, but also about eliminating potential dangers.

From those corners, there were unfriendly glances directed at him and his wife.

Those footsteps that would linger outside his door late at night from time to time.

After tonight.

No one dared to mess with his family anymore, and no one dared to bully Yuan Dahai anymore...

sizzle.

A static-filled sound interrupted Yuan Dahai's thoughts.

He picked up the walkie-talkie that had been prepared by his bedside and waited with a smile for the other end to speak. He knew without a doubt that it was a neighbor calling to try and find out about the soldiers' situation.

This is natural.

Let alone entering someone's home, even just passing by the entrance of the community, the neighbors will, as is customary, discuss it carefully.

"Brother Yuan, can you hear me? Brother Yuan?"

A charming yet old-fashioned voice came from it.

Yuan Dahai frowned, as did Chen Fang beside him.

"Ma Xueqin".

The woman who lives in Building 5.

They love to dress up, form cliques, spread rumors, and bully honest people.

Anyway, it's not a good product.

It is said that this woman used to hang out in the amusement park a few years ago, but was kicked out for committing a crime and moved into Wan Jin Yuan. Now she spends her days hanging out with a few younger vagrants.

"What's wrong so late?"

Yuan Dahai replied irritably.

In the past, he might have given her a fake smile, but things are different now. With the military officer backing him up, he no longer needs to give this woman a friendly look.

"It must be something serious that they're contacting you so late... Brother Yuan, is it convenient for you to talk now?"

"It's very convenient. It's my own home, what's inconvenient about it?"

"Did those bandits cause any trouble for your family?"

"Bandits? They're military personnel, a legitimate investigation team. What bandits? I'm warning you, watch your mouth..."

Hearing his patron being slandered like this, Yuan Dahai's anger flared up immediately.

Just as he was about to retort, Liu Fang pulled him back. After calming down, he put on a stern face, wanting to see what tricks Ma Xueqin was up to.

"Bandits? Why do you call them bandits? Did they steal your rice?"

"Oh, Brother Yuan, don't you know? Those guys are bandits who wandered over from outside the city. They're up to no good coming to your house!"

"hehe..."

Yuan Dahai sneered.

He thought Ma Xueqin was going to say something, but she told him a huge joke.

bandit?

How could bandits wear such good equipment?

Why would bandits go to such great lengths to send his long-lost son home?

That's utter nonsense!

"Don't disbelieve me, Brother Yuan. You know, I spent a few years in the amusement park. How could I not know what the investigation team is like?"

We've been neighbors for so many years, would I ever harm you? What good would it do me if I did?

So, I won't go into details about their aura or equipment, but look at their hands, aren't they all without bracelets?

"A bracelet?"

"Yes, everyone on the investigation team has to wear them, on their right hand. Do those other people have them?"

"this..."

Yuan Dahai and Chen Fang exchanged a glance.

After Ma Xueqin mentioned it, the two of them remembered that the people in the investigation team were wearing bracelets, and the rumors outside were indeed true.

However, Li Fei and his group did not actually see it on their hands. It wasn't that he saw it with his own eyes, but all three of them were wearing long sleeves, covering their wrists completely, so he had no chance to see it.

"They're all wearing long sleeves, so I can't see them."

"See! That's right!"

Ma Xueqin's voice was noticeably two pitches higher.

"They wear long sleeves to cover their wrists and avoid being exposed. Brother Yuan, I'm not trying to be mean, but how can you bring just anyone home? Come down here right now, we'll figure out a way to help you..."

"etc."

Yuan Dahai wasn't stupid; of course, he wouldn't easily trust this woman.

but.

He did find it strange during the meal; he was sweating from the heat of the fire, but none of the other three rolled up their sleeves.

Therefore, it seems that Li Fei and his group intentionally concealed their wrists.
