Chapter 59: Suspicious

Why are you staring at me?

Seeing Li Jiaci staring at her, Wang Yingna was also taken aback.

In an instant, her eyes flashed with speechlessness as she glared, and she raised her voice: "You won't stop unless your sister kicks you twice, will you?"

"Eh!"

This time it's much more comfortable.

Li Jiaci chuckled, then went to wash his face and brush his teeth.

Wang Yingna's speechlessness grew, and she sat on the ground, huffing, pulling out a sock and putting it on her foot.

But it was also while she was putting on the sock.

I don't know what that guy was thinking, but his face suddenly turned red.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

After Li Jiaci finished washing up, he went to wake a few brothers.

When he returned, Wang Yingna had also finished tidying up, and the group headed straight for Mu Cai Chang.

After a few days of adjustment.

Mu Cai Chang now can run nonstop production for twenty-four hours.

Previously, the middlemen who had left because production couldn't keep up have all come back at once.

They started loading timber at four or five in the morning and haven't stopped until now.

And on the way Li Jiaci and them came.

One could see many timber-laden middlemen driving away.

As for Li Yihu and Liu Jiang, the two of them together hadn't slept even three hours the previous night.

Seeing Li Jiaci and them coming over.

Li Yihu and Liu Jiang were like they'd seen a savior.

"Brother, you've finally come!"

Li Yihu said bitterly: "These middlemen act like they've never seen timber; from last night till now they haven't stopped."

"Look, there are still a dozen or so trucks lined up outside."

"We're so busy we don't even have time to count money or keep accounts."

Hearing that.

Li Jiaci couldn't help laughing: "What's up? You brat, still complaining you're making too much money? Or should we chase them all off and quit business? Then we wouldn't be tired."

"No, no."

Li Yihu chuckled: "Although it's a bit tiring, I'm really happy—I've never seen this much money in my life."

"Look at your little ambition."

Li Jiaci gave him a glance, then told Zhao Chen and the others behind him: "You guys, don't just stand there—hurry up and take over those two."

"Okay!"

Several people responded and stepped forward immediately.

Seeing several people come over to help, Li Yihu and Liu Jiang finally let out a long breath.

"Finally can rest a bit."

Li Yihu handed Liu Jiang a cigarette, then the two walked arm-in-arm toward the tidied dormitory.

"Let's go too."

Li Jiaci gestured with his eyes at Wang Yingna, then led her toward the office.

Wang Yingna looked around and said casually: "I've wanted to ask you this before—your business clearly makes so much money, why don't you set up an office for yourself?"

"We've only been here a few days, we haven't had time."

Li Jiaci said: "Besides, we judge this business by output, not by how fancy the office decor is."

"How so?"

"You dislike our shabby office and don't want to stay inside?"

Li Jiaci turned, glanced at Wang Yingna, and said: "Going home would definitely be comfortable; otherwise, should I send you back?"

"Hey! Why do you always say things like that?"

Wang Yingna snapped: "You're always trying to chase people away."

Afterward, that guy beat Li Jiaci to it, striding straight into the so-called office, which was actually just a rural-style bare concrete house.

Seeing her like that.

Li Jiaci shook his head helplessly.

He first found some firewood and coal to light the stove in the house.

Then he went to the water tank, drew water with a kettle, and sat on the stove.

"The kettle whistles, then you can drink."

"As for food, I'll have someone bring it over shortly."

Li Jiaci said while walking out: "If you need anything, just shout outside; I'm going to get busy first."

"Wait!"

Wang Yingna suddenly spoke up, calling Li Jiaci to a halt.

"Anything else?"

Li Jiaci asked offhand.

Wang Yingna pursed her lips, then waved her hand: "Nothing's wrong, you can go."

"What's wrong with this woman?"

Li Jiaci's face was full of bewilderment.

However, he didn't intend to get entangled with that woman right then, and simply left the office.

And just then.

Only Wang Yingna remained in the office.

Wang Yingna, feeling quite irritated, scratched her head, then walked to the bedside, leaned against the windowsill, and let out a sigh full of sorrow.

……

Just then, Li Jiaci and his group were busy in full swing.

On the other side, Li Qinglan had already come to the West District Office early in the morning and intercepted Lin Niansheng, who was about to go to work.

Lin Niansheng was startled by her.

"How did you come here?"

"Didn't we agree to call if there's something?"

Li Qinglan said mysteriously to Lin Niansheng: "I'm afraid I can't make it clear over the phone."

"What's the matter?"

Lin Niansheng frowned and asked.

"How about we go somewhere else?"

Li Qinglan looked left and right.

They were standing at the office gate at that moment, and everyone coming and going was wearing uniforms and Maozi.

Seeing this scene,

Lin Niansheng took a deep breath and said: "Follow me!"

Then.

He then brought Li Qinglan to a deserted little alley.

"What's the matter? Speak quickly!"

Before Li Qinglan could even speak, Lin Niansheng grabbed her collar with one hand and warned coldly: "If you dare to lie to me again this time, I will definitely find someone to expel you from school!"

"No, I, I wouldn't..."

Li Qinglan said with a panicked face: "This time I'm really bringing you a very important piece of information; I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"What?"

Lin Niansheng released Li Qinglan's collar.

Li Qinglan took two breaths, then said: "Last night when I went to look for Li Jiaci, I happened to see him bringing home an unfamiliar woman."

"What's so important about him bringing home an unfamiliar woman?"

Lin Niansheng said impatiently: "Do you think I have a lot of time to waste, that I can casually keep you company here?"

"No, no, no."

Seeing Lin Niansheng about to raise his hand, Li Qinglan hurriedly stepped back a few steps and said: "The problem is, it's with that woman he brought back."

"That woman's complexion was particularly bad, with dark circles under her eyes and a vacant stare."

"At that time, I hadn't reacted yet."

"But the more I thought about it later, the more I felt something was off."

"Her state then was especially like that of a roommate of mine who secretly used powder and had a flare-up."

Upon hearing that,

Lin Niansheng's brow twitched: "You mean that woman is also a powder user?"

"Mm-hmm."

Li Qinglan nodded vigorously twice and said: "Later I sneaked back for a trip, pressed my ear to the door, and heard Li Jiaci tell that woman, 'If you can't hold back, just take some,' so I can be absolutely certain that woman definitely took powder."

Upon hearing Li Qinglan's words,

Lin Niansheng rubbed his chin, his face showing contemplation.

"In that case,"

"This Li Jiaci indeed seems to have the suspicion of sheltering powder addicts so they can take powder."
