Chapter 2606: A Rainy Night in Mishan

~7 min read 1,235 words

After Shen Wenqi said this, Bai Hui felt even more relaxed. But as long as the person wasn't out for a day, she couldn't truly put her heart at ease. However, seeing Liu Aijun's worried eyes, she immediately cheered up, and a trace of a smile appeared on her face.

Seeing Bai Hui smile, Liu Aijun breathed a long sigh of relief as if relieved of a burden: "Sister-in-law, now you should be at ease, right?"

Bai Hui nodded, her tone pretending to be relaxed: "Since Wenqi has made things so clear, what else do I have to worry about?"

Shen Wenqi could see the reluctance in Bai Hui's smile, knowing she was still worried about her cousin. Actually, he was worried too. After all, as long as the person wasn't rescued, variables could appear at any time.

But he had to cheer Bai Hui up and get her to pull herself together; otherwise, if her body collapsed, what would happen to the children and the elderly at home?

"Sister-in-law, did you notice those young people who were with Zhou Andong?"

"I noticed." Bai Hui asked somewhat uncomprehendingly: "What's wrong?"

Shen Wenqi smiled slightly: "Although Zhou Andong didn't introduce those young people to us, judging from their words, actions, temperament, and demeanor, one can roughly judge that their backgrounds are not small.

Especially when Zhou Andong said the identities of Wu Hangshu and Wu Hui, their expressions were very calm, as if Wu Hangshu, this No. 3 figure in Guangdong Province, was nothing in their eyes.

And that woman with the good temperament and short hair—her first reaction wasn't to consider whether they could afford to offend Wu Hangshu and Wu Hui, but to consider whether we could afford the price."

Speaking of this, Shen Wenqi took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a deep drag, and continued: "In addition, Zhou Andong being able to distribute the shares equally among them also shows that their backgrounds are very simple, and they will help out in Big Brother's matter."

Ever since the family accident, Bai Hui's mental state hadn't been good. Especially when meeting Zhou Andong, the fear of being rejected and the anxiety of gain and loss had kept her in a state of high tension, with great mental pressure and extreme anxiety, leaving her no energy to observe or think.

As for Liu Aijun, she was also worried. Because Bai Hui's emotions were always hovering on the critical point of collapse, she was afraid that if Zhou Andong refused, Bai Hui wouldn't be able to bear it and would collapse completely, leading to something happening.

Therefore, Liu Aijun had to remain vigilant at all times, closely watching Bai Hui's every move just in case, naturally leaving no extra energy to think about other things.

Bai Hui didn't want Shen Wenqi and Liu Aijun to worry, so a smile appeared on her face again. She held Liu Aijun's hand tightly and said sincerely and movingly: "Aijun, Wenqi, I'll say it again: regardless of the result, sister-in-law wants to thank you."

"Sister-in-law!" Liu Aijun smiled warmly: "You can say such things to Zhou Andong; there's no need to say them to us, because we are a family. When there are difficulties, helping each other is what should be done."

"Right, we are a family; no need to say thanks—it's too distant." Shen Wenqi stood up: "I'm going to draft the contract. We'll go to the wool mill tomorrow morning."

Shen Wenqi had just walked to the bedroom door when he suddenly stopped and turned back: "Sister-in-law, there's one more thing I forgot to say just now, and that is the phone call Zhou Andong made at the beginning.

You were willing to take out two million to buy the information about the mastermind, but the money couldn't be spent. Yet Zhou Andong only made one phone call and dug Wu Hui out. This shows that in Guangdong, aside from his father-in-law, he has his own relationship network. So, you can really put your heart completely at ease; Big Brother will definitely come out safe and sound."

"Rest assured!" Bai Hui nodded: "I'm really fine now."

Shen Wenqi didn't say anything more and pushed open the bedroom door. The room wasn't big. By the head of the bed, leaning against the window, was a small desk—this was where he usually worked.

He moved the chair back, sat down, pulled open the drawer, took out paper and pen, and began to write the contract.

After writing the four copies of the contract, he saw it was already past 11:00 PM. He yawned, didn't even wash his feet, and went straight to bed.

At the same time, Mishan in Longjiang Province was being washed by a sudden heavy rain. On the highway from Suihua to Mishan, two trucks were driving with difficulty and slowly.

"Damn it, this rain is too heavy; I can't see anything." In the first car, the driver, with a head of messy hair, held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his eyes bloodshot as he stared fixedly ahead: "Old Fang, light me a cigarette."

In the passenger seat sat a young man of thirty-two or thirty-three, who was sleeping in a daze. Hearing the driver's words, he opened his eyes with a start.

"Smoking!" The young man fumbled in his pocket, took out a pack of 'Da Shengchan' cigarettes, pulled one out, put it in the driver's mouth, and lit it for him: "I don't even know when this rain started."

"Aside from sleeping and eating, what else do you know?" The driver took a fierce drag of the cigarette and then exhaled a long puff of smoke: "With such heavy rain, we definitely won't make it on time."

"It's fine!" The young man also lit a cigarette: "The distance isn't far; we won't be that late. And such heavy rain is very favorable for us."

"That's true!" The driver laughed: "Hearing you say that, I actually hope the rain falls even harder."

The young man yawned and said weakly: "What should I do if I want to pee?"

"Damn it!" The driver cursed again: "With such heavy rain, if you get out of the car, you'll be soaked through. What do you want to do?"

"With such heavy rain, it can't rain forever." The young man smacked his lips, gritted his teeth, and said: "Keep driving forward; I can hold it for now."

As the two were talking, they suddenly saw lights flashing back and forth ahead. The young man's nerves tightened instantly: "There's someone ahead."

As his voice fell, the light became more and more obvious; it was the light of a flashlight.

The young man asked nervously: "What should we do?"

"It's fine!" The driver said lightly, but the expression on his face became very serious: "They shouldn't be road bandits."

As they spoke, they had already seen clearly that there were two people in the middle of the road ahead, wearing raincoats and waving flashlights at them. And beside them, a van was parked.

The driver slowly slowed down the car and then stopped. The two people holding flashlights walked over quickly, and one of them raised his hand and knocked on the car door.

The driver rolled down a crack in the window and asked very vigilantly: "What's the matter with you?" ===== CHAPTER 2607 =====
