Chapter 79: Uncle Kang

He left the hospital.

Li Jiaci first went home and looked around.

Because he was suspected of selling drugs, his home had been turned upside down.

Seeing this scene before him, Li Jiaci couldn't help but let out a quiet sigh.

If you don't cut off decisively, you will surely suffer chaos.

This saying truly manifested itself in him to the fullest.

After being reborn, he focused entirely on making money with his brothers, completely failing to keep Li Qinglan and Lin Niansheng in mind, and never considering them his primary targets to deal with.

However, they struck first, and their move was a killing blow; it not only brought him an undeserved disaster, but also implicated Wang Lan.

Thinking of Wang Lan.

Li Jiaci also couldn't help but clench his fists.

In his previous life, that foolish brother gave his life for him.

If in this life his brother still meets the same fate as before, then he truly would have come back for nothing.

Upon reaching this thought.

Li Jiaci also did not hesitate much.

He immediately picked up a few usable items from the ground, took them with him, and without even closing the door, went straight downstairs.

He had originally planned to move his brothers to another place.

Now that this has happened, it's even less possible for him to continue living there.

And when he came downstairs.

Li Jiaci then drove straight to the wood processing factory.

And when he arrived at the factory, it was just after two in the morning.

Li Yihu, who had been leading workers to load timber for a lumber dealer, saw him approach and his face showed a big 'confused' expression.

"Brother, what's going on?"

Li Yihu asked: "How come you came over so early?"

"I can't explain it in just a sentence or two."

Li Jiaci strode toward the office, saying: "I might not be able to come tomorrow; you and Ah Jiang hold out a bit longer here."

Seeing Li Jiaci's expression,

Li Yihu could roughly guess that something had happened.

And he didn't ask further, just went back to whatever he was busy with.

Li Jiaci, meanwhile, went straight to the office and used a key to open the room inside.

The room contained nothing except a large locked wooden chest.

Li Jiaci found the key, unlocked it, lifted the lid, and inside were suddenly stacks of banknotes.

This was all the money they had earned from their business.

Li Jiaci thought for a moment, then took out a stack of about ten bundles of bills and put them into the plastic bag he was carrying.

Then he relocked the chest, locked the door, walked out of the office, and returned to his car.

Seeing him come, they left.

Li Yihu was also somewhat confused about the situation.

Watching the car's receding shadow, Li Yihu scratched his head and couldn't help muttering to himself: "What the heck is going on?"

……

Elsewhere,

Li Jiaci left the lumber yard and headed straight for the city center.

Following his memories from his past life, he twisted and turned through the city district for a long time, finally stopping in front of a residential complex.

The city now was not as clearly zoned as in later eras; not only were old and new residential buildings interwoven, but also houses that hadn't yet been demolished were mixed in.

Fortunately,

Li Jiaci had often come here in his previous life, so he didn't get lost.

Holding the plastic bag, he looked around and his gaze locked onto a residential building.

Then,

He hesitated not a moment, walked straight to that residential building, and entered unit three.

Arriving at the floor from his memory,

He soon saw the familiar anti-theft door.

Li Jiaci pulled out his phone to check the time; it was now 3:30 a. m.

He didn't knock on the door, but sat on the stairs opposite it, quietly watching the door.

Time ticked by second by second.

From 3:30 a. m., he waited until 4:30, then 5:30, then 6:30, until the sky outside gradually lightened and the door was finally opened from inside.

A woman in her fifties walked out of the room.

Although she was over fifty, thanks to good maintenance she looked like she was in her early forties.

And upon stepping out the door, seeing a person sitting at her doorway, still staring at her own gate, the woman was also taken aback.

"Are you looking for someone?"

"Mm."

Li Jiaci had been sitting here watching the gate, his eyes growing sore from staring.

And at this moment.

He saw the woman come out.

He also stood up immediately and said to the woman: "I'm looking for Uncle Kang; may I ask if he's home?"

She heard his words.

The woman's eyes instantly became wary: "What do you want with Old Kang?"

"It's nothing major; I just came to see him and chat a bit."

Li Jiaci handed the plastic bag in his hand to the woman and said: "This is a local specialty I brought from my hometown, specially brought for Uncle Kang. All you need to do is give this specialty to Uncle Kang to look at, and he'll know who I am."

The woman hesitated a moment, but still took the plastic bag from his hand.

"Then you wait here a moment."

The woman said: "I'll go in and let him know."

After saying that, she turned and walked back into the room, closing the door.

And Li Jiaci stood quietly outside the door, waiting.

Not long passed.

The woman then opened the door again: "Come in."

Thank you.

Li Jiaci stepped into the house and casually asked: "Do I need to change shoes?"

No need, you can go straight in.

The woman shook her head, then shouted to the inside: "You two chat first, I'm going to the market to buy vegetables."

Hmm.

A low response came from inside.

After the door was closed,

the inner room door was opened from inside.

Then an elderly man with white hair walked out from inside.

This man is actually in his sixties or seventies, but full of vigor, his back straight, his every movement bearing the air of a superior; one can tell he once served in the troops.

And he is clearly the person Li Jiaci is looking for, Uncle Kang, Kang Nian Yi.

Come in.

Kang Nian Yi waved at Li Jiaci, then pushed open a door on the left.

Li Jiaci didn't hesitate, immediately followed his steps and walked into that room.

This is a study.

Inside, calligraphy practice sheets can be seen everywhere.

Moreover, on the wall hangs a framed four-character inscription "Haina Bai Chuan".

These characters are written with vigorous, flowing brushwork, extremely beautiful.

And upon seeing these characters,

Li Jiaci instinctively praised: "Uncle Kang, your calligraphy foundation is truly undiminished from back then."

Oh?

Kang Nian Yi, standing behind the desk, raised his eyebrows: "Have you seen my writing before?"

Li Jiaci was startled.

Just now he was completely praising instinctively.

It was only when Kang Nian Yi asked that he realized he had been reborn.
