Chapter 617 Brother! You're so confused!
Yipinju, 1102.
So after all that, you didn't get any useful information!
"Mom! I've only been here for a day. Even Sherlock Holmes couldn't solve a case this quickly. You have to give me some more time."
Besides, I don't know what my brother is busy with. He's either locked in his study every day or he's always out of sight, working from dawn till dusk.
"Look, it's the weekend, and when I woke up I didn't see a soul in sight. They still haven't come back. I'm like a mouse trying to catch a turtle—I have nowhere to start!"
[That sounds nice, but I think you just overslept and lost your way! I'd be senile to rely on you...]
Meng Qingqing gave a slightly guilty, dry laugh during the group video call on her phone.
"I just hadn't adjusted to the time difference yet, and who knew my brother's lifestyle would suddenly become so regular."
You're clearly a young person, you didn't learn to stay up all night scrolling on your phone, but you did learn to go to bed early and get up early...
Do you think your brother is like you, working hard outside, doing nothing and idling around all day? Don't you dare cause him trouble and disturb his work!
Hmm! So, this kid does seem to be quite motivated after all. I was worried he wouldn't want to try anymore...
In the third video, Lao Meng, who was seemingly looking down at his documents, couldn't help but mutter something upon hearing this.
"That's right, Dad, you have no idea how many books my brother has in his study... and he's really good at using that computer now..."
If it weren't for the fact that the login password was still the same, I would have suspected that my brother had been possessed!
Think about it, what can change a person so much, besides the harsh realities of life, is definitely a woman!
It's a pity that I haven't met any of those beautiful, rich, and wealthy neighbors you all told me about.
But you two just wait and see. With my sharp eyes, he can't hide it forever!
Meng Qingqing went on and on in her newly created "Older Brothers' Singles End Group," revealing everything about her older brother.
He racked his brains to report the meager information he had gathered to the two elders, embellishing it with extravagant details to highlight his own role and painting a rosy picture for them.
Then he pretended to check his watch and looked at his bare wrist.
"Oh dear, it's already this late, my brother might be back soon, so I'll stop talking to you guys for now."
Don't worry, I'll report any intelligence to you two immediately! (Bye!)
I breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the video call.
Things have finally stabilized for the time being.
"Cuckoo~"
Just then, my stomach started to growl.
I patted my belly. It's almost noon. Brother, do you really not care whether your sister lives or dies?
There was no other way but to find food on my own and go to a restaurant...
……
After going downstairs, Meng Qingqing casually picked up a blade of grass and walked aimlessly toward the front door.
I'm wondering whether to have thin noodles or some pan-fried buns for the mute...
However, as soon as they arrived at the entrance, they saw a luxurious-looking black minivan parked outside the community, and a familiar figure stepped out of it...
"Brother?" Meng Qingqing's eyes widened immediately.
Meng Lang, who had disappeared all morning, was seen getting out of the van carrying a small black bag and accompanied by a little girl.
After getting out of the car, the two waved to the back seat, seemingly saying goodbye to someone.
From Meng Qingqing's perspective, she couldn't see who was sitting in the back seat of the van. However, before the door closed, she caught a fleeting glimpse of a pair of beautiful legs in black stockings...
A woman? A woman driving a luxury car? A woman driving a luxury car with a chauffeur!
The warning lights in Meng Qingqing's mind went off instantly.
A date? A date with a child? You can date a rich woman with a child?
The question mark light in Meng Qingqing's mind also lit up...
After the van left, Meng Lang was about to enter the residential area with the little girl when a suspicious-looking man wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap waved at him and called out, "Brother Meng."
Meng Lang immediately stopped and looked over, his face showing surprise.
After saying something to the little girl, she walked towards the man...
Meng Qingqing paused as she was about to wave and greet them, then immediately stopped and hid herself further away from the entrance of the residential complex...
……
Let Xiaoyu go home first. Meng Lang walked up to the man and stared at him strangely for a while before confirming that he was an acquaintance.
"Brother Wang? What's going on here...?"
"This isn't the place to talk, come with me!" Wang Zhaoping adjusted his baseball cap, glanced around warily, and then pulled Meng Lang to an SUV parked in the corner.
Meng Lang was pulled into the passenger seat, and watched as the other person locked the car door, his head full of question marks.
"Wait, Brother Wang, what's with your outfit today?"
"Sigh! It's all to avoid being followed. I've used every anti-tracking method I could find on this journey!"
Meng Lang was startled.
"Is someone following you?"
Could it be that I've slipped up in some way, and someone is trying to investigate me by starting with Wang Zhaoping?
"We haven't found that yet, but we're just doing this as a precaution!"
"What on earth happened? Is someone watching you?" Meng Lang looked warily out the window, simultaneously taking out his phone to prepare to activate the emergency escape plan at any moment...
"It's not that they're targeting me, it's that I'm afraid someone else is targeting this..."
Wang Zhaoping mysteriously took a black handbag from the back seat, then suddenly grinned at Meng Lang and patted the handbag in his arms.
"A million US dollars! It's all here!"
"Uh……"
Meng Lang was stunned for a long time, and then he was at a loss for words.
"No...that's it?"
"Otherwise what? That's a million US dollars! Shouldn't we be more cautious?"
Wang Zhaoping looked puzzled by Meng Lang's reaction.
That's a million US dollars! That's almost 7 million RMB, enough to tempt some people to take the risk.
After taking the money out of the police station, I was extremely cautious and on edge the whole way.
They changed cars twice and deliberately drove around the elevated road several times to make sure no one was following them before finally arriving at Yipinju.
Besides this, what else can I be careful about?
Meng Lang realized he had misunderstood. He remembered that the other party had mentioned Iwasaki Hideyoshi had a "huge bounty" and wanted to share 100 million with him as a reward for information. He never expected that the person would actually come to him in person...
"Thanks to your intelligence, brother... Oh! And that suggestion! The person is back in the country now. The bureau just received the bounty, and I immediately submitted yours!"
"With so much money, I was really worried that someone in the bureau might be eyeing it, so I brought it to you as soon as possible, lest something untoward happen."
Wang Zhaoping had a big smile on his face, clearly in a good mood these past two days.
The look in Meng Lang's eyes was one of deep gratitude.
After listening to your words, not only have I established connections with higher-ups, but I've also achieved dazzling political achievements. My position as bureau chief is now practically a done deal.
How could he not thank Meng Lang?
"Hehe! I was afraid that people would trace it back to my brother, so I didn't dare to use the bank account."
I know that confidentiality is very important in your line of work, and you inevitably have to use valuable items sometimes.
So I took the US dollars directly, exchanged some of them for RMB, and exchanged the rest for 10 gold bars..."
Meng Lang's lips twitched.
If I were really in this line of work, you'd be very professional and thoughtful.
The problem is, that's not me...
But since they've already taken it, it's not really appropriate for you to tell them to take it back...
Giving away intelligence for free, wouldn't that seem even more suspicious?
Oh well, this is a good opportunity to replenish my personal savings.
Since giving Lin's father over ten million yuan, his personal account has become rather meager.
Gao Yuan, Yan Weiwei, and even Lin Haitang...
Now I'm surrounded by rich people, and I'm surrounded by learned scholars. Am I just a commoner?
This is clearly inappropriate.
I need to accumulate a decent amount of wealth so that my family doesn't always think I'm not willing to work hard.
"Alright, I'll accept it then. Thank you, Brother Wang!"
"Not at all, I should be thanking you, brother! Hehe... Brother Meng, why don't you give me a nod first..."
"What should I order? Bro, don't I trust your character?"
Wang Zhaoping was deeply moved. "Brother, you're so straightforward in your dealings!"
He took the handbag from Wang Zhaoping, smiled, and was about to get out of the car when Wang Zhaoping called him back.
"What's wrong?" Meng Lang turned his head in confusion.
Wang Zhaoping rubbed his hands together somewhat embarrassedly.
"Um... Brother Meng, if you're not too busy, how about... you do another divination for me?"
rash:"……"
That's just how the world is; there are always people who claim to be materialists who explain everything with science.
While secretly forwarding lucky koi fish images hoping for good fortune, they indulge in feudal superstitions...
……
Somewhat amused and exasperated, they got out of the car, carrying very heavy handbags as they walked towards the residential area.
However, he didn't notice that a furtive figure was peeking out from the bushes behind him, staring intently at the bag in his hand with a look of curiosity...
When Meng Lang returned home, he found Meng Qingqing was not there. He assumed she had gone out for a stroll and didn't pay her any attention. This wild girl was basically never home when he was there...
I took my handbag into the study, and just as I was about to open it, my phone suddenly rang.
It turned out to be a call from Meng Qingqing.
Brother! Are you back yet?
"Just got home, what's wrong?" Hearing the panicked sound in the voice on the other end, Meng Lang frowned.
"Then come down quickly. I saw an old lady fall down in the neighborhood and kindly went to help her up, but she insisted that I bumped into her and wouldn't let me leave..."
"What?" Meng Lang was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
How could something like this happen to you?
The village isn't connected to the internet. Don't they know they need to record video before helping someone?
"Brother, come down quickly, I'm scared..."
Hearing Meng Qingqing's panicked voice on the phone, Meng Lang quickly comforted her.
"It's okay, it's okay. Just tell me which building it's near... Okay! I'll be right there, don't worry..."
I quickly put my coat back on and rushed out the door...
As soon as the elevator doors closed, a head popped out from around the corner with a grin.
Looking at the floor display and confirming that her brother had come downstairs, Meng Qingqing immediately opened the door and entered room 1102.
After glancing around the living room and finding no target, he immediately went into the study...
Sure enough, the black handbag was placed on the table.
"His sneaky behavior is suspicious. I want to see what this guy is up to all day long, all mysterious and secretive..."
He reached out and unzipped the handbag.
In an instant... a burst of golden light flashed...
Meng Qingqing: "($o$)"
She opened her mouth wide, completely stunned.
The bright red RMB notes, the gleaming gold bars that almost blinded her, and the green US dollars that she couldn't identify but looked like something out of a movie...
This...so much money?!
Rural girls who have only ever seen a few thousand yuan in cash have never experienced such a blatant visual shock.
I picked up a gold bar...it's so heavy...
It doesn't look fake...
There must be millions in this handbag, right?
Meng Qingqing's mind was in a bit of a mess, and she couldn't help but start thinking wildly.
How did you get so much money, bro?
Earned from doing business? But who needs so much cash to run a legitimate business these days?
And that sneaky man in the baseball cap who looked suspicious at first glance.
What kind of shady money transactions took place in the car?
What I just witnessed inexplicably overlapped with scenes from Hong Kong crime films I'd seen before...
No wonder this guy has money to buy himself a phone, no wonder he can attract investment to the village, no wonder...
My gaze swept across the various books on the bookshelf... finally settling on a large, striking red tome that stood out even among the many books...
Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China!
In that instant, Meng Qingqing felt as if the sky was about to fall over the Meng family!
Brother! You're so foolish!
