Chapter 150: Better lucky than early

After spending this time together, Wang Yingna had figured out Li Jiaci's temperament.

Anything he heard mentioned in his presence, he would keep in mind and silently help you get it done.

She sat on the bed edge trying on the shoes and found the size fit her feet.

Jiaci bro, you're awesome!

These shoes fit just right!

Li Jiaci gave a faint nod.

As long as they fit, that's fine.

Without waiting for Wang Yingna to continue showing off.

He had already turned and left.

Wang Yingna snorted.

As long as I persevere, even an iron pestle can be ground into a needle!

The next day.

Hong Bo wrote down the addresses of several vacant factories and handed them to Li Jiaci.

Boss, I've already scouted out these places!

You guys go check them out today; if you find a suitable one, let me go negotiate the price with the factory owner!

So you won't get taken for a ride with sky-high demands, a lion's mouth!

Hearing that, Li Jiaci took the address and said, "Fine, we'll talk about it when we get back!"

Alright!

Hong Bo saw the two of them out the door.

On the way to the first factory by car, Wang Yingna sat in the passenger seat, chattering nonstop.

Jiaci bro, you're a natural talent for business!

In just a few short months, you've monopolized the entire Pingzhou timber market and become the top boss!

Now you want to open a furniture factory; any business related to timber will let you make money!

Good thing you have no interest in the Song and Dance Hall!

Otherwise our family's business would be in danger!

Having said that.

Wang Yingna covered her mouth and laughed.

She added, "But if we were together, our two families' businesses could be merged into one!"

You say, is that right?

Wang Yingna looked at Li Jiaci's calm side profile and asked.

From the moment they got in the car, Li Jiaci had remained silent.

Seeing he didn't respond.

Wang Yingna instantly felt a bit put off.

She pouted and said, "Sometimes you're like a block of wood—whatever I ask goes in one ear and out the other!"

How do you want me to answer?

Li Jiaci asked.

Wang Yingna tilted her head to look at him and said, "Just answer yes or no!"

No.

Why?

A melon forced to twist isn't sweet.

……

Wang Yingna crossed her arms angrily and kicked the mat under her feet.

She had never been so attentive to any man in her life.

Even her own brother Wang Zhen went crazy with jealousy.

And Li Jiaci was blissfully unaware of his good fortune.

Not long after.

The car stopped in front of an empty factory.

Hong Bo said the factory's owner had settled elsewhere, rarely returning once a year; the lock on the gate had long been broken, and in winter it would become a gathering spot for vagrants, but because the factory covered a large area, it ended up among the candidates.

Li Jiaci got out of the car, glanced at the overgrown weeds inside and the door leaning to one side, and immediately didn't want to go in.

At that moment, Wang Yingna stepped on the weeds, breaking them, and said to him, "What are you standing there for? Go in and have a look!"

Winter weeds snap when stepped on.

Li Jiaci shook his head: "Just take a look from outside!"

How would that work?

There's still a red-brick building inside!

Opening a furniture factory wouldn't need a base, would it?

Otherwise, where would you put your machines and workers?

Wang Yingna pulled Li Jiaci inside.

Being experienced, she didn't mind the haunted-house-like environment at all.

Li Jiaci was dragged by her to the front of the red-brick building.

He looked up and saw the building was two or three stories high.

Only heard a bang.

Wang Yingna kicked open the wobbly iron door.

A puff of choking dust blew into their faces.

"Cough cough…"

Wang Yingna fanned the dust in front of her, squinting as she walked in.

Li Jiaci was helpless, could only follow.

Inside the Hongzhuangfang there were no floors; standing at the bottom, one could directly see the ceiling.

On both walls hung several rotting wires, apparently from previously installed lighting.

Besides that, a few blackened bedding bundles were piled in the corner.

A thick layer of dust covered them.

Wang Yingna put her hands on her hips, tilted her head back, and looked around.

"It's much more spacious than I thought!"

"Jiaci bro, what do you think?"

Hearing that, Li Jiaci was about to speak when he heard a loud bang from outside the Hongzhuangfang.

It sounded like someone had kicked down the factory's main door.

He raised a hand at Wang Yingna, signaling her to shut her mouth first.

Then he felt his way to the iron door of the Hongzhuangfang, turned his head sideways, and looked outside.

If it were just a vagrant, driving him off would be fine.

But Li Jiaci saw several shifty-eyed fellows rush in from outside.

Their clothes were relatively clean, but their expressions were panicked, as if fleeing for their lives.

"Jiaci bro, what's happening?"

Wang Yingna came up behind Li Jiaci and asked softly.

"Shh, there's a situation."

Li Jiaci made a shushing gesture.

At the same time.

The sirens of several police cars came from outside.

Li Jiaci narrowed his eyes and indeed saw the police cars' lights appear in the woods.

This timing is too coincidental.

Coincidentally, just as they were inspecting the factory, they ran into Maozi apprehending suspects.

"Nana, step back and find a safe place to hide!"

Li Jiaci didn't turn back, lowering his voice to give a few instructions.

Wang Yingna had followed Wang Zhen all over the country and seen many big scenes.

Although she wasn't afraid, in front of Li Jiaci she wanted to act like a delicate woman.

"Then you must protect me well!"

"Don't worry."

Li Jiaci said in one sentence.

It made Wang Yingna feel extremely warm-hearted.

After she retreated to the corner, a group of Maozi who had rushed over also jumped out of the police cars.

Li Jiaci noticed that Liu Yanxi was actually among them.

And she was the one leading the team.

"Hmph."

Li Jiaci couldn't help but chuckle.

Suddenly.

One of the suspects noticed the Hongzhuangfang's iron door was open and hastily waved to his accomplices.

A group of people ran toward where Li Jiaci was.

Li Jiaci moved his wrists.

The corners of his mouth twitched upward slightly.

How long had it been since he last threw punches and kicks? Just thinking about the impending showdown made his inner fighting spirit surge uncontrollably.

Disordered footsteps came from far to near.

Li Jiaci's fists were already clenched so tight they crackled.

When the opponent showed his head, Li Jiaci grabbed his collar and swept his leg, knocking him to the ground.

Then he seized the person behind him and slammed him hard against the door frame.

Bang!

His accomplices behind saw this.

They thought they had been ambushed by Maozi and panickedly retreated.

Unfortunately, the real Maozi had already sealed off all directions, leaving no gap.

Liu Yanxi raised her weapon and slowly advanced.

She shouted sternly: "You can't escape; if you're smart, immediately put your hands on your heads and squat down!"

After saying that, she glanced suspiciously behind the iron door.

"Those inside, listen up—I give you three seconds to come out with your hands on your heads!"

Li Jiaci tilted his head, grinning.

Could it be that what he just helped with isn't obvious?

So, Liu Yanxi mistook him for an accomplice of this group of suspects?
