Chapter 4231: Shuanzhu

"Left? Where did he go?" Zhao Desan asked, pursuing the matter.

"Just that way!" As the rat-eyed man spoke, he pointed out Shuanzhu's direction to Zhao Desan with his left hand.

Zhao Desan didn't even say a polite word, turned around, and chased in the direction the rat-eyed man pointed. Only then did the rat-eyed man seem to come to his senses, raised his hand, gave himself a slap, and muttered to himself: "Damn it, why did I tell you!"

Zhao Desan was like he had been plugged into a motor, running fast to chase that glimmer of hope. Sure enough, hard work pays off. After chasing not far, Zhao Desan saw two men walking side by side in front. From the backs of the two people, Zhao Desan could vaguely see that one of the backs was very familiar. He concluded that this person was the Shuanzhu he was looking for.

Zhao Desan didn't hesitate anymore, quickened his pace, and caught up with the two people in front in three steps. "Shuan... Shuanzhu!" Zhao Desan shouted, already out of breath.

The two men in front heard the shouting behind them and stopped abruptly. One of the men, whose back looked very much like Shuanzhu, turned around rapidly, staring at Zhao Desan with terrified and surprised eyes. That's right, it was Shuanzhu. Zhao Desan recognized him at first glance, so he rushed up excitedly.

"Shuanzhu, it really is you, it really is you..." Zhao Desan said excitedly, his eyes already brimming with hot tears. If it weren't for Shuanzhu, he was afraid he would have met with misfortune today.

"Boss, why are you here?" Shuanzhu asked with a surprised smile.

"I came to find Mayor Qi of Shenlong Town to talk about some work matters," Zhao Desan said.

Zhao Desan stabilized his emotions slightly, pressed his hands on Shuanzhu's shoulders, pushed him away gently, and asked face to face: "It seems like you were the one who helped me out just now, right?"

Shuanzhu nodded and said: "I didn't know it was you. I just heard it was a leader from the district. I know those guys like Rat-eye; they always like to do evil. I was afraid they would cause trouble, even daring to gamble with leaders from the district. They really don't want to live anymore! Boss, why did you provoke Rat-eye and the others?"

Zhao Desan frowned and said: "Where did I provoke them? They came to the town government to find Mayor Qi and just happened to run into me. They wanted to supply materials for the new rural construction project, and I definitely couldn't agree. As a result, they pressured me."

"Hmm, I thought so too. Those bastards are local hooligans in Shenlong Town, who like to bully people by relying on their power," Shuanzhu analyzed.

Zhao Desan patted Shuanzhu on the shoulder, smiled, and said: "Let's not talk about those people. It seems that we two brothers are really destined to meet in this small place. This is not a place to talk. Let's go, let's find a restaurant and talk while drinking!"

"No, let's go to the county town where I live. Since we've met, I won't care about anything else..." Having said this, Shuanzhu said to the man beside him: "You hurry back first, let the landlady of the game hall prepare a sumptuous meal, and say that I have an important guest visiting."

After the man heard Shuanzhu's instructions, he nodded at Zhao Desan, then turned around and ran toward the direction of the county town...

Shuanzhu held Zhao Desan's hand, called out affectionately: "Boss, let's go, let's go to my place and take a look. I'll give you a surprise."

Zhao Desan chuckled and said: "Okay, I'll listen to you, brother. But wait for me for a moment, I'll go drive the car over!"

"Hmm, then I'll go with you!" Shuanzhu said, pulling Zhao Desan forward.

The two had just returned along the original path to the gate of the town government when they saw Rat-eye and his group walking over. Seeing Zhao Desan and Shuanzhu's intimate appearance, Rat-eye immediately stepped forward, forced a smile, and said to Zhao Desan: "Deputy District Mayor Liu, it's all our fault for having eyes but not recognizing Mount Tai. Please don't take offense!"

The incident just now happened suddenly. Zhao Desan was only focused on chasing Shuanzhu and didn't have time to pay attention to why Rat-eye and the others had let him go so easily. You must know that he had already made the first move and hit the tall man.

Rat-eye's attitude had done a 180-degree turn, which made Zhao Desan think of something. He looked at Shuanzhu beside him, meaning: "Shuanzhu, you did all this, right?"

Shuanzhu smiled slightly at Zhao Desan, then quickly cupped his hands at Rat-eye and his group, signaling his appreciation. Afterward, he reached out and hugged Zhao Desan from behind, laughing and saying: "Let's go quickly, boss!"

Zhao Desan couldn't say much to Rat-eye and his group, so he just went down the slope, taking advantage of Shuanzhu's pushing, and hurried toward the gate of the town government.

Zhao Desan drove the car and returned to the neighboring county town with Shuanzhu. In a restaurant, a sumptuous banquet had already been arranged. Looking at Shuanzhu's style, Zhao Desan knew that he was doing well here and might already be a person of some standing.

Although the dishes and delicacies were rich, Zhao Desan had no intention of eating anymore. Seeing Shuanzhu, he couldn't help but think of Zheng Jie. After drinking a few glasses of wine with the landlady of the game hall who was accompanying them, Zhao Desan put down his chopsticks. Shuanzhu could see Zhao Desan's thoughts, so he had to put down his chopsticks and sigh: "Boss, I know you are thinking of Sister Zheng. Then I'll accompany you to see her in a while." Having said that, he stood up and led Zhao Desan out of the restaurant, heading toward one end of the county town.

Zhao Desan and Shuanzhu came to a small courtyard close to the edge of the village. Inside were two dilapidated small tile-roofed houses. The courtyard looked messy and disorganized, as if no one lived there.

Zhao Desan was about to see Zheng Jie, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. His heart was pounding so hard he could hear it himself. Shuanzhu walked to the door of the small tile-roofed house, looked back at Zhao Desan, and then lowered his head, pushed the door, and drilled into the room.

Zhao Desan followed closely into the room. As soon as he entered, a musty smell drilled into Zhao Desan's nostrils. He couldn't help but cover his nose with his hand. ===== CHAPTER 4232 =====
