Chapter 392

Lao Jiang, open the door.

Wu An arrived at the convenience store and knocked on the door, "bang bang bang".

Putting the video onto a USB drive needed a computer; Lao Wu didn't have one, but the older brother did, and he didn't want to disturb the older brother and his wife.

If they were already asleep, that would be fine; but if they weren't yet asleep...

It would affect the older brother and his wife having a child, and he couldn't afford that.

Then he could only make Lao Jiang bear the hardship.

Lao Jiang opened the door and said, "A An, you poor thing, take pity on my hair."

Wu An went inside: "Give me two packs of Hua Zi cigarettes; I'll take them away later."

Lao Jiang smiled, his brows relaxed: "Okay, okay, okay."

With the benefit in hand, Lao Jiang smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum and asked, "What's the matter?"

Wu An said: "Let me use your computer for a moment."

Lao Jiang stared and said, "Do you think this is an internet cafe?"

Wu An said: "Three packs of Hua Zi."

Lao Jiang opened the inner room door and said, "A An, I'm not the type to be swayed by money; I'm just warm-hearted."

"If you want to use the computer later, come anytime."

The inner room was small, perfectly showing what a greasy middle-aged man's dog den ought to look like.

Wu An pushed aside the boss's chair, which had been rubbed to a dark, shiny finish, dragged over a stool, and sat down.

Power on.

After waiting several minutes, the computer finally booted up.

Bored from waiting, Lao Jiang said: "A An, there's something I don't know whether I should tell you."

Wu An glanced at him: "Lao Jiang, four packs of cigarettes is a bit too much; I can't finish them."

Lao Jiang didn't beat around the bush: "Today two women came to the store, gossiping that you went to the police station and said you got into trouble."

They spoke with plenty of detail, but when I asked, neither of those two had actually seen you go to the police station; it was all hearsay.

"Guess who they heard it from?"

"Who?"

"It's from eavesdropping on Lin Bin and Chen Gui talking; the funniest part is that Chen Gui even told them not to spread it around."

Wu An suddenly understood.

Oh... right.

I almost forgot about that guy Chen Gui; thinking about it, it makes sense—he wouldn't let such a trivial matter pass without meddling.

Lao Jiang continued: "When I heard it, I gave them a good scolding."

"Saying you went to the police station, that was actually to receive the honor of Seeing Justice and Courage."

"Those old ladies kept pressing me for answers, so I went ahead and told them about the honor you received."

"Don't blame me for helping spread your fame."

Wu An smiled: "Lao Jiang, thanks."

Lao Jiang watched him connect his phone and USB drive to the computer and said: "I'll go tidy up front."

Coming out of the inner room, he also closed the door.

Wu An fiddled for several minutes before getting it right; after coming out, Lao Jiang also had the cigarettes ready.

"Lao Jiang, help me slice some marinated vegetables and mix them well."

"Lao Jiang, in a few days the new ship will arrive; I plan to hold a banquet."

"I'll take the cigarettes and alcohol from your side; will that work?"

Lao Jiang grinned so wide his mouth couldn't close: "Sure, sure, sure—I definitely won't let you down."

Wu An played with the USB drive and continued: "Besides, after the new ship arrives, the number of ship workers will increase; a round trip will take many days, so the demand for food and drink on board won't be small."

"From now on, I'll settle accounts with you on the first of each month; what do you think?"

Lao Jiang thought it over, slapped his thigh, and said: "A An, you... are really looking out for my business."

"Go ahead, what do you need me to do?"

Wu An said: "Help me find a way to hide this USB drive at Chen Gui's house."

"Can you manage that?"

Lao Jiang's eyes shifted, and he said: "Yes."

"It's no trouble."

"It just so happens that these two days Chen Gui asked me to deliver pure water to his home, but I've been lazy and haven't gone yet."

Wu An thanked him and paid for the cigarettes.

Lao Jiang saw him to the door: "A An, rest assured, I will definitely get this done for you."

Wu An smiled, nodded, and turned to leave.

Seeking Lao Jiang's help, actually he had no confidence in his heart; first, after handing the USB drive to Lao Jiang, regardless of what happened, it would have nothing to do with him; second, he also wanted to test whether Lao Jiang could be trusted.

Anyway, he still had another USB drive in his hand containing the same video.

He had made two preparations.

If Lao Jiang helped him, that would naturally be good, and from then on he would be one of his own.

Lao Jiang ran the convenience store, sat as the village information hub, was well-informed, and no breeze or rustle in the village escaped him.

If he were one of his own, doing things in the village would be much more convenient for him.

If Lao Jiang didn't help, he could make up for it himself, wouldn't blame Lao Jiang, and later could try to bring Lao Jiang over to his side.

……

Early the next morning.

? Ma Weiqun was still sleeping, and was pressed onto the bed.

The team was led by Huang Xuejun.

Ma Weiqun looked bewildered and asked, "Brother Huang, what's this for?"

"Arrest me?"

"Yesterday I..."

Huang Xuejun gave him a slap and scolded, "Why would I arrest you? You should know in your heart."

"Put on clothes."

"I'll take you somewhere else to talk."

Ma Weiqun struggled, but it was useless; after sitting on the cold bench, with the evidence laid before him, he became honest.

At the same time.

Wu An called Lin Hu; Lin Hu answered his phone, saying he was fishing.

Wu An also felt sympathy for him, saying they should meet and talk about repaying the debt.

They made an appointment to meet shortly.

Wu An estimated the time, then threw the USB drive to a crossroads not far from Lin Hu's home.

Then he hid at the alley entrance, pretending to run into Lin Hu by chance.

They chatted a couple of sentences, naturally they couldn't agree.

They parted unhappily.

Lin Hu continued walking home; the golden USB drive was conspicuous on the ground. Lin Hu saw it, picked it up, and asked, "A An, is this yours?"

Wu An shook his head: "No."

"This USB drive looks pretty good."

Lin Hu let out an "oh" and stuffed it into his pocket.

Wu An secretly sneered.

Go home and have a good look; I guarantee after watching it your blood will surge.

Call A Qing, ask if he's eaten well, and let him come keep watch after he's eaten well.

After running around early in the morning, he's also gotten hungry, so hurry back home to eat.

Mei Yueqin saw him coming at this time, still curious why he hasn't gone out to sea.

Wu An casually found an excuse to get past.

……

On the other side.

Lin Hu returned home, saw his wife Wen Feilv still asleep, covered with a thin blanket, her posture graceful, making his heart burn.

He hurried to take a shower.

After finishing his shower, Wen Feilv had already gotten up, asking him how the catch was.

He hemmed and hawed.

Wen Feilv looked disdainful: "Really useless."

Lin Hu was extremely depressed.

Being urged for debt by Wu An, returning home to be disliked by his wife, early morning nothing good.

Also not right.

He also picked up a brand-new USB drive.

Just after showering, he wasn't sleepy either, turned on the computer, and inserted the USB drive.

Clicked open.

The USB drive's storage is still quite large.

He thought this USB drive surely isn't cheap, discovering inside there are only two folders.

One folder is named Chen Gui.

"Looks like it's Uncle Gui's, so I won't return it, hehe." Lin Hu muttered, then opened another folder named "Private".

Inside is a video.

"Could it be that Uncle Gui filmed some weird stuff?" Lin Hu muttered, his expression turning lewd.

Mouse moved.

Clicked.

Played.

Panting sounds suddenly rang out; Lin Hu quickly turned off the sound, swallowed saliva staring at the video, watching and watching, he felt the "female lead" somewhat familiar.

But he didn't think much, still muttering in his heart "Uncle Gui is so old, yet he plays so fancy", but when the video's male and female leads changed pose, he suddenly widened his eyes.

Good heavens!
