I still got what I wanted. If only you weren’t so stingy, I wouldn’t have had to.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he walked, Zhou Qiangshun still seethed with resentment toward Chen Jinhua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before coming to the capital, Jiang Xiao had told him his mother sent two dozen yuan to the family each month and doted on him as her son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after arriving, he realized something was wrong—Chen Jinhua kept Jiang Xiao tightly guarded, giving not a single cent and locking them inside the house so they couldn’t go out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all the trouble of coming to the capital, what kind of life was this—stuck indoors all day? Even though he was only a prospective elder brother-in-law, hadn’t he earned better treatment precisely because nothing was settled yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After staying several days, Zhou Qiangshun finally understood one thing: Chen Jinhua was an extremely shrewd woman; even if they became in-laws, getting money from her was a pipe dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why bother with this marriage at all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own sister was lovely, adored by everyone, a perfect white meal ticket—why marry her off to some ordinary family for a one-time deal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Zhou Qiangshun hatched a plan: get some compensation and break off the engagement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew that this unassuming Chen Jinhua had two thousand five hundred yuan stashed away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two thousand five hundred yuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A worker would have to save for six or seven years without eating or drinking to amass that much—in the countryside, it could buy ten brides. With such a fortune right before his eyes, Zhou Qiangshun couldn’t help but be tempted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s my destiny to get rich—I’m heading to the glittering south.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qiangshun reached into his pocket, felt the thick wad of bills—the distinctive texture of cotton pulp paper—stirring his nerves and unlocking hidden reserves of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since arriving in the capital, he’d had no contact with outsiders and didn’t know Dazhong Temple was in the north; he dared not take main roads heading south, and after winding around all night, he was exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tricycle! Tricycle! Five jiao to ride, one yuan for ten li.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind Zhou Qiangshun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and saw an old man riding a tricycle, grinning with a mouth full of yellow teeth—clearly trying to pick up a fare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, want a ride?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cheap—spend a few yuan, you can tour the whole capital, look dignified and save your strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qiangshun studied the old man, carefully analyzing his accent—it sounded like Shanxi to the west—and his wariness eased slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he asked: “Can this cart take me to Huangcun?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhou Qiangshun took the train into the capital, he’d noticed a Huangcun station—he figured it was far enough from the city to escape the most dangerous zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man was surprised: “Huangcun? That’s not close at all. It’s already dark—why are you going there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have urgent business. Are you going or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go. Five yuan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qiangshun climbed onto the tricycle, rubbing his aching legs while sizing up the driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he notice the old man had a limp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, can you really make it to Huangcun?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course I can. As long as you pay, I’ll take you to the ends of the earth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ends of the earth? Heh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qiangshun chuckled. Suddenly, he realized the old man was right—if he had money in his pocket, where in the world couldn’t he go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty minutes later, the tricycle stopped beside an empty stretch of road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, sir! Old age, can’t hold it anymore—two minutes’ delay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man pulled over, picked up his cane, and hobbled to the roadside to urinate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Zhou Qiangshun suddenly felt the urge too, so he unbuttoned his pants by the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he began to pee, he noticed the old man tilting his head, grinning at him with a strange smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, why are you—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Zhou Qiangshun could finish “What are you smiling at?”, the old man suddenly swung his cane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Robbery and murder?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying thought flashed through Zhou Qiangshun’s mind—he instinctively raised his arm to shield himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the old man’s cane traced a “J” shape—down, then sharply upward—striking the most vulnerable spot on the man’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aaah~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qiangshun didn’t even pull up his pants before collapsing to the ground, clutching his groin and curling into a shrimp-like ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Y-you crazy? It’s the crackdown—you dare rob me? This is the capital!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qiangshun trembled from pain but still tried to scare him, hoping the old man would consider the consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man chuckled, squinting: “If you know this is the capital, why are you stealing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qiangshun froze—suddenly, his groin didn’t even hurt anymore; it felt numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“W-what are you talking about? Who stole anything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, I loosened the window latch. Now are you still going to claim you didn’t steal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qiangshun stared in shock, then blurted: “Y-you’re Old Song! But your accent—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Song grinned, flashing his yellow teeth, switching instantly to a Heilongjiang dialect: “What’s wrong, brother? Now you get the four points?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qiangshun sat stunned for a long moment, then erupted in frantic struggle: “You treacherous old devil—you set me up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Song’s cane cracked hard against the back of Zhou Qiangshun’s skull, knocking him unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with both hands, Old Song dragged Zhou Qiangshun onto the tricycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You guessed right—I framed you. Petty theft gets you a few years. I’ll help you steal something big—heeheeheehee~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Song climbed onto the tricycle and slowly headed north, all the way to a certain office near Dazhong Temple, and rode straight inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Report, sir—I’ve found a suspicious character.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Li Ye’s case ended, he still couldn’t figure out why Old Song had used “fishing enforcement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it really just because Chen Jinhua told him to seal the window that he guessed an outlaw was hiding inside?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And how had Old Song tracked Zhou Qiangshun so precisely?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, Old Song claimed he could follow the gang smuggling furniture for the Japanese—Li Ye had thought that suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it seemed this old man really was uncanny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was undeniably effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one hour after Chen Jinhua reported to the office, the case was solved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being beaten by both her mother and sister, Jiang Xiao insisted she didn’t know Zhou Qiangshun was a “noble thief”—she’d just been fooled into bringing him to the capital for a sightseeing trip, only to invite a wolf into the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, even when Zhou Qiangshun screamed, “I’ll give you my sister!” Jiang Xiao wouldn’t listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[My old lady makes so much money—I can marry whoever I want. Why would I care about your sister?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third watch, half an hour late, sorry.\u003C\u002Fp>",1276,"2026-06-20T05:05:01.382Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
