Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

"Did you see clearly?"

Cao Jianjun pinched the cigarette butt between two fingers and tapped the phone screen repeatedly: "If I weren't a nobody, I wouldn't bother with the affairs of our Tazhai."

Lin Shengwu realized that the guy in front of him was a wanted criminal on the run.

"Then how did you find out about what's going on in Tazhai?"

"I have my own channels."

Cao Jianjun finished his cigarette and casually pressed it against the back of his wrist.

A hissing sound followed as the cigarette butt burned several holes in his arm, from which blood gushed out.

It really hurts, it really hurts.

But an undercover agent can't flaunt their identity everywhere.

You absolutely have to risk your life.

"Hey?"

After stubbing out his cigarette, Cao Jianjun nudged Lin Shengwen with his elbow: "What's going on? Say something! Take me back to Tazhai and let me have a meal, okay?"

"Go back to Tazhai?"

Lin Shengwu thought he had misheard and jumped up.

"Hey? What your father has in his hands can make Lin Zonghui replace Lin Yaodong?"

Cao Jianjun knew what he was worried about, so he stood up with a smile, took out a packet of heroin from his backpack, and casually tossed it to Lin Shengwu.

"Look closely, this is a brand new product that we in North Vietnam just developed..."

“Your stuff from Tazhai is outdated. As long as Lin Zonghui is willing to protect me, and as long as you are willing to take me to Tazhai, this thing can make your third branch of the family the boss in Tazhai.”

That packet of heroin was developed by the system at Cao Jianjun's request.

This can be considered a pledge of allegiance before heading to Tazhai.

The biggest reason why Lin Zonghui couldn't beat Lin Yaodong was that he couldn't lead the people of Tazhai to make money.

But now Cao Jianjun plans to use this thing to help Lin Zonghui.

"Uncle Hui won't agree."

Lin Shengwu sniffed the white powder and stared blankly at Cao Jianjun: "If you go to Uncle Dong, perhaps he will agree."

Are you looking for Uncle Dong?

Cao Jianjun hesitated.

Thinking about it carefully, if Lin Yaodong saw this, he might actually be tempted.

If you confront Lin Yaodong head-on from the start, that old bastard could just call the police and have them take you away, and you'd be completely finished.

I'm a wanted criminal now.

As he thought about it, Cao Jianjun realized that he really couldn't afford to offend Lin Yaodong, at least not now.

"Okay! That's fine too."

After thinking it through, Cao Jianjun patted Lin Shengwu nonchalantly: "Let's go, this thing can save your life."

"You can't save me, you can't save me..."

Lin Shengwu shook his head again and threw the white powder to Cao Jianjun: "You don't know what Shengwen did, you don't know how serious this matter is."

"Ouch, you idiot..."

Cao Jianjun grew angrier the more he thought about it, and kicked Lin Shengwu hard on the head: "Isn't it just that Lin Shengwen said something he shouldn't have at the police station?"

"Isn't it just that Lin Shengwen leaked the three million? If you don't go back to Tazhai, do you think you can escape?"

"Hey! Your wife and kids are still in their hands. Lin Yaodong has people watching them every day. Where can you run off to?"

"Cai Xiaoling is due to give birth in two months, you idiot, you'll still die the same way..."

Either way, it's a dead end.

This is a fact.

In the original drama, Lin Shengwu committed suicide in exchange for his wife Cai Xiaoling taking their child and leaving Tazhai to illegally cross the border.

"Then go back now, or I'll die right now..."

"So what if I die!"

Frustrated by Lin Shengwu's dawdling, Cao Jianjun grabbed Lin Shengwu's collar and said, "Listen to me, take me back to Tazhai. If Lin Yaodong dares to kill you, I can use this packet of heroin to bring down Tazhai!"

Who do you think you are?

Lin Shengwu laughed upon hearing this: "Do you know what Lin Yaodong's status is in Dongshan? Do you know how many European clients rely on Lin Yaodong?"

"Damn it! You old hag, how powerful is your hen?"

Cao Jianjun then slammed the white powder in his hand into Lin Shengwu's face: "If Lin Yaodong isn't an idiot, he'll understand that I'll make him earn even more money."

This time, Lin Shengwu remained silent.

He really didn't know much about drugs.

After all, normally, Lin Yaodong personally handled the shipping and production of goods in Tazhai, with his younger brother Lin Yaohua's son Lin Can assisting him.

The third wife was basically marginalized.

The two of them sat there, locked in a stalemate, on the banks of the Pearl River.

Lin Shengwu was no match for Cao Jianjun, and he couldn't leave either; in essence, he was being semi-held hostage by Cao Jianjun.

Cao Jianjun didn't pressure him, he just waited it out with him.

As the night faded, the sun rose in the east on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and dawn broke.

Finally, the two of them couldn't stand it any longer, so they found a place and got two rice noodle rolls and some dim sum.

By morning, Lin Shengwu was still being clung to by Cao Jianjun, and he couldn't shake him off no matter what.

In the end, a compromise was reached.

"Can you give me two days? Can you give me two days to think about it?"

Back in his rented apartment, Lin Shengwu sat on the iron bed, rubbing his disheveled head.

"sure."

Cao Jianjun smoked nonchalantly, shrugging: "I'll just wait here. You can think whatever you want..."

He knew that Lin Shengwu wouldn't change his mind so easily; after all, for him, going back to Tazhai meant certain death.

Who the hell isn't afraid of death?

that's it.

The two of them stayed in this tiny, dilapidated room of just over ten square meters for two days, eating instant noodles with tap water and being surrounded by smoke.

It was almost the evening of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and fireworks lit up the sky outside, with every household decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Cao Jianjun leaned against the window, smoking a cigarette while watching the fireworks outside.

I'm starting to miss my wife.

I don't know how she is now, and I don't know how my sister-in-law and her husband are doing with their New Year's preparations for May 5.2nd.

While I was thinking, my gaze inadvertently fell on the end of the alley below the window, where a figure suddenly appeared.

Cao Jianjun quickly hid himself. Fortunately, the room was dark, so he peeked out from the side.

The figure downstairs was getting closer, and in the dim light of the first floor, Cao Jianjun could see it clearly.

Lin Can, the son of Lin Yaohua from the second branch of the Lin family in Tazhai, has arrived.

That's incredibly fast; they found this place in just a few days.

Thinking of this, Cao Jianjun rushed to Lin Shengwu, covered his mouth with one hand, and made a shushing gesture with the other.

"Lin Can is here."

"..."

Lin Shengwu's eyes widened, and his breathing became heavy.

"Don't worry, I'm here, he can't hurt you."

Cao Jianjun knew that Lin Can was likely carrying a gun. After reminding Lin Shengwu, he turned around and walked behind the door, waiting quietly.

Gradually, after a moment, a soft footstep sound came from outside the door.

110. Uncle Dong doesn't like what you said. [5 chapters, please subscribe]

dong dong——

The door to the rented room rang.

Cao Jianjun and Lin Shengwu both felt a tightness in their chests and held their breath, but neither of them spoke.

"咚咚-"

There was a knock on the door twice more.
