Dressed in plain clothes, Ma Jianfeng asked, "Are you sure that's what he said?"
The little girl nodded and repeated it again.
Ma Jianfeng handed her a wad of cash: "I understand, go home now."
The little girl took the money he handed her, put it in her pocket, and skipped away into the alley.
Ma Jianfeng returned to the second floor of the warehouse and found Ning Wei, who was still observing with binoculars: "The informant sent word that the previous information was false."
"Operation canceled, let's call it a day."
Su Qing is a fictional character created by Lin Jianshen, so it's impossible for her to be with Lin Jianshen.
It's even less likely that she'll get married.
Ma Jianfeng continued, "Also, in this kind of weather, it's impossible to use this kind of vehicle to haul goods."
"The carriages were completely enclosed with no ventilation, and the cargo all contracted heatstroke before even reaching their destination."
"This is definitely a test. This man is cunning; we've seen it many times before."
Ning Wei lowered his head and pondered for a while.
Inaction is better than making a mistake.
He sighed, "Let's call it a day."
Ma Jianfeng also sighed.
He has been following this case for many years.
He wanted to destroy Sun Hao's core businesses and get rid of Sun Hao more than anyone else.
But now is not the time.
Lin Jianshen's undercover work has been very successful; he's very close to succeeding.
Especially at times like these, it's crucial to remain calm.
The other party chose this location not only as a test, but also as bait.
Fighting criminals is an extremely cruel and dangerous thing.
Ma Jianfeng sensed that if they took action today, they would likely suffer heavy losses.
This coin still brought Lin Jianshen good luck.
Despite sending the wrong signal, the situation was salvaged.
The probing can't go on indefinitely; next time, he should be getting involved in the real core business.
That day is definitely not far off.
Lin Jianshen's heartbeat gradually calmed down as he looked at the shimmering waves on the river not far away.
Xia Tingwan looked away from the water and typed a few more lines of code on her laptop.
Then he got up from the armchair by the fish pond.
She stood by the pond, watching the koi swimming in the water.
Red, white, and gold, layered upon layered, like a flowing oil painting.
She reached into the paper bag on the table, grabbed a handful of fish food, and casually sprinkled it onto the water.
Countless koi fish surged wildly.
The fish opened and closed its mouth, vying for the floating particles.
The slightly bluish-black pool water was instantly dyed into a churning array of colors.
Xia Tingwan looked away and called Xia Wenshan, saying, "Dad, my sister wants to go fishing with Young Master Zhao."
"But she felt that going directly to him like this would seem a bit hasty and not reserved enough, so she wanted me to go with her."
Xia Wenshan said, "It's a good thing that she's willing to associate with Young Master Zhao. Let her go."
Xia Tingwan then said, "Can we ride in your car? I've never ridden in such a luxurious car before."
Xia Wenshan has been extremely busy lately.
First, he dealt with his only son's funeral, and then he rushed to find his illegitimate daughter.
He then sought out a son-in-law in the capital to form alliances and political maneuvering.
The situation has finally stabilized.
Today was a rare day off for him, so he didn't go out or use his car.
So he nodded and said, "Okay."
Xia Tingwan called Xia Yunlu again: "Sister, Dad said you should spend more time with Young Master Zhao. He wants you to go fishing and boating with him today to build a relationship."
"But it's a bit too reserved for you to go alone, let me go with you."
"We rode in his blue car."
Xia Yunlu took a fancy to several luxury brand bags, but had to give up her plans to go shopping after hearing this.
However, she wouldn't rule out going on a date with Zhao Xuan.
So he called Zhao Xuan again: "Brother Xuan, my dad wants me to come fishing and boating with you, and he wants my sister to come along too. Can you make the arrangements?"
Zhao Xuan was drinking with a group of friends at a bar at that moment.
Upon hearing this, he had no choice but to abandon the drinking party and rush home to wait.
After all, if the Xia family hadn't suffered a misfortune, he really wouldn't have been able to climb up to the Xia family, even if the other party was an illegitimate daughter.
More than an hour later, Xia Tingwan came to the lakeside next to the mountain road again.
To allow parking anytime, anywhere, the road was built very wide with three lanes and no guardrails along the edges.
The blue car was parked to the side.
Xia Tingwan's bodyguard and driver, Awang, set up a parasol next to her and used the electric vehicle's external power supply technology to plug in an air conditioning fan, blowing it towards Xia Tingwan.
Xia Tingwan sat by the lake fishing.
Xia Yunlu and Zhao Xuan were boating on the lake, and laughter could be heard from the boat from time to time.
The fish here are particularly easy to catch; Xia Tingwan caught several big fish in no time.
But catching big fish is actually quite physically demanding.
Because big fish are very strong in the water, they usually need to be played until they get tired before they can be pulled up.
Xia Tingwan handed the fishing rod to Awang: "I'm tired, can you fish for me for a while?"
"Catch as many fish as possible, and try not to use too many different species. Have the kitchen prepare a whole fish feast for dinner."
"Does the passenger seat have a massage function? I'd like to go up and rest for a bit."
Awang smiled and said, "With the zero-gravity seat and seat massage, you can rest assured, Miss. The car is very safe and quiet."
"I'll do the fishing."
He assumed that Xia Tingwan was fishing to feed Xia Wenshan and to show his filial piety.
At six o'clock in the evening, Zhao Xuan invited them to dinner at the Zhao family home.
Xia Tingwan declined: "My dad said we should go back for dinner, and we can do it together next time."
After having a full fish feast at home that evening, Xia Wenshan asked, "Awang, was there anything unusual this afternoon?"
Ah Wang shook his head: "I followed them the whole time, and both ladies behaved normally."
Xia Yunlu chatted with Zhao Xuan on the boat the whole time, and they probably had some deeper conversations.
Because Awang saw ripples spreading out from under the boat.
Xia Tingwan slept in the car for an hour.
Ah Wang quietly went to take a look and found that the second young lady was indeed lying in the passenger seat, asleep with the air conditioning on.
Hearing Awang's report, Xia Wenshan was very satisfied with his three daughters' obedience.
But he was a very cautious person: "Awang, check the car later to see if anything is missing."
While Xia Tingwan was fishing, Lin Jianshen and his group met their contact.
Old Mu called out to that person, Xiao Jun.
They all got into the car and followed Xiaojun's car to the factory gate.
Xiao Jun got out of the car, spoke something through the intercom at the entrance, and the heavy iron gate of the factory opened.
The convoy drove into the factory.
It stopped in front of the large warehouse behind the factory.
A porter came up and opened the container door.
The car was completely filled with clothes and slippers.
The porters were thin and pale, but they worked hard.
Sweat streamed down his back.
Xiao Jun glanced at it and said, "Goodness, they've brought so much cargo; it'll last us a while."
Sun Jian then realized, "Why is it this kind of product?"
Old Mu came over and explained, "Brother Jian, this is Uncle Hao's arrangement."
"There are dormitories in the factory. We'll rest here for the night and head back tomorrow."
Sun Jian muttered to himself, "Damn, that old man is so suspicious."
"Wasn't this a wasted trip?"
He had figured it out: Sun Hao was using him as bait to lure in undercover agents and the police.
Fortunately, these people were all on his side, unlike what Sun Hao had imagined.
Otherwise, I might really be in danger.
So he spoke with a hint of resentment at that moment.
"The mosquitoes here are really fierce, they're so annoying."
Old Mu added, "Uncle Hao asked me to tell you that none of the necessary procedures can be skipped."
"We'll head back tomorrow and rest in Donghai for three days. Three days later, we'll take you to the actual factory via this route and meet up with Brother Qing."
"Besides, this cargo is useful, so this trip wasn't a waste of time. You'll see in a few days."
Having received clear news and a promise, Sun Jian's expression softened.
He put his arm around Lin Jianshen's shoulder: "Come on, brother, just bear with it. Good things come to those who wait."
Lin Jianshen said with a stern face, "Fine, I'll bear with it for your sake."
Sun Jian went to comfort A-Qiang, after all, these were his future team members.
His greatest idol was Cao Cao.
Therefore, their personalities are somewhat similar, and they are both very suspicious.
But once they trust you, they will no longer doubt you, just like Xu Chu, who allowed you to bring your sword into his bedchamber.
He was genuinely afraid that Sun Hao's actions would alienate everyone.
So he suppressed his displeasure and coaxed them one by one.
Ah Qiang clearly harbored resentment as well.
Sun Jian personally lit a cigarette for him and offered a few words of comfort.
The group stayed in the dormitory for one night and set off the next day to return to Donghai.
