All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

After hearing Han Chunming's explanation, Han's mother nodded with some skepticism. Han Chunming was indeed always naked, and whenever she asked him, he would just make up some excuse. Now, hearing her son's explanation, Han's mother really believed him to some extent.

Seeing that his elderly mother was already half-believing, Han Chunming quickly leaned close to her ear and said something.

"Mom, don't spread this around. If you get caught buying or selling that stuff, you'll go to jail. I'm just thinking that taking the bus to work every day is too time-consuming and expensive, so I might as well buy my own car. That would be much more convenient."

Han's mother nodded, indicating that she understood, and then snatched the ceramic jar from Han Chunming's hand, saying carefully.

“This is such a valuable item, and you're so clumsy. What if you break it? I'll find a box and pick it up properly for you.”

Han Chunming nodded with a broad smile, secretly relieved that he had finally managed to cover up the lie. It seemed he would have to study antiques more thoroughly in the future, as this thing could occasionally be used as an excuse.

Unbeknownst to Han Chunming, after he left Balizhuang, Master Huang sat alone in a chair for a long time before finally making a decision in a low voice.

After dinner, as everyone started exercising, four men and one woman emerged from the tenement building behind Uncle Huang. The men looked to be between thirty and forty years old, while the woman looked to be seventeen or eighteen.

The girl had fair skin and delicate features. Her nose was not as flat as that of Han Chinese, but rather somewhat prominent. Combined with her height of at least 1.7 meters, she stood out from the crowd.

If Han Chunming saw this beautiful woman, his first reaction would be, "Wow, this girl looks a bit like Dilraba!" Moreover, this girl doesn't have Dilraba's strong features; instead, she has the gentleness of a Han Chinese. She is indeed a top-tier beauty.

The girl looked somewhat like a mixed-race person. In this day and age, it is rare to see mixed-race people. Moreover, the girl's face was like frost, with an aura that made people subconsciously avoid her.

The four men around her did the same; upon seeing the girl appear, they instinctively moved several meters away from her.

The group of people were taking a walk in the neighborhood as if it were nothing out of the ordinary. They went in different directions, but the result was the same: they all ended up gathering at Old Master Huang's bungalow.

Huang Wuye's house is quite large. In addition to the outer room, there is another room inside, which contains only two chairs and a bed.

After arriving at Master Huang's house, the group naturally went into the inner room. Soon, the outside was pitch black, and a five-watt light bulb lit up the inner room.

Master Huang was sitting in a chair, his eyes half-closed, as if he were resting.

After the four men entered the room, they all stood against the wall with fearful expressions. However, the girl who entered last went straight to another chair, sat down casually, crossed her legs, looked at Master Huang, and waited for his question.

This scene seemed to be something they were already used to. Even Master Huang didn't say anything. After everyone had arrived, Master Huang slowly opened his eyes, a cold glint appearing in them. He spoke with a stern face.

"I want you to investigate someone. Once you find him, don't alert him. Here's his information: his name is Cheng Jianjun, nicknamed Brother Jun. He's 1.76 meters tall, thin, and around 22 or 23 years old. He's from Beijing and is probably a former educated youth who returned from the countryside. If you find him, investigate his background. Remember, don't alert him. This guy is not someone you can handle!"

Huang Wuye's words made the group raise their heads. They rarely saw the old man so cautious. They didn't understand the situation and didn't dare to ask. They could only nod to indicate that they remembered.

Master Huang glanced at the group of people and then continued speaking.

"I might have to move. This place has been exposed. Don't tell any of you. After I move, keep an eye out for strangers around here. If you hear anything, contact me at the usual place. That's all. Xiao Qiao, stay here. Everyone else, disperse!"

The group was somewhat shocked, but dared not refute it. They all meekly left the house and quickly disappeared into the night.

After the four people left the room, Master Huang's composed face finally relaxed a little. He walked to the table in the outer room, picked up a water cup, took a sip of water, and went back inside.

He glanced at the girl who was still sitting in the chair, legs crossed, her face as cold as frost, sighed, and then slowly spoke.

"I got 2,000 yuan swindled from me by a young man today. I can't figure that young man out. You have to admit you're getting old!"

Huang Wuye's tone was now completely different from before, almost as if he were telling the girl about his grievances.

The frost girl's expression remained cold. She wore an ordinary blue cotton factory uniform and gray pants. Her short hair was neat and tidy, but combined with her beautiful, icy, and sculpted face, she exuded a unique aura that made her seem completely out of place in the environment.

The girl glanced at Master Huang and said calmly.

"Is it that guy named 'Cheng Jianjun'?"

Master Huang nodded.

The girl suddenly smiled sarcastically, looked at the dark night sky outside the window, and slowly said.

"The other party knows your reputation as Master Huang Wu, and dares to reveal his real name. No wonder you were in such a hurry to gather us. In Yanjing City, there are not many young people who dare to challenge your reputation as Master Huang Wu!"

Master Huang nodded solemnly and sighed.

"I didn't sense any tension from him at all; in fact, he seemed to be toying with me. Yet he was able to pinpoint my location so accurately, which is quite unusual!"

The girl tapped her slender fingers on the chair for a while before suddenly asking a question.

"I've got an idea!"

Master Huang looked up at the girl, waiting for her answer.

The girl in front of him was his daughter. Although she was his daughter, she was not his biological daughter. Her father was a very famous and influential figure who had saved his life several times. In the end, during a special period, he entrusted his daughter to him, and from then on, the girl became his daughter.

Originally, Master Huang never intended to pass on his skills to this young girl. He only wanted to raise her well, marry her off to a good family, and live up to his benefactor's expectations.

However, he never expected that the girl had shown extraordinary qualities since childhood. Skills that his apprentices learned in ten days or half a month could be learned by the girl with just a glance. Not only was she skillful, but she was also extremely intelligent. Several times, the girl's appearance saved them from annihilation.

Gradually, the young girl became Master Huang's advisor, which earned her even more of his favor. However, despite her youthful intelligence and perfect inheritance of Master Huang's skills, she had never actually put them into practice in the real world.

She asked Master Huang to arrange a job for her, and she went directly to work as an ordinary female worker in a textile factory. At eighteen years old, she has already been working for a year.

The girl's identity was known only to Master Huang and his few godson sons. However, among the five godson sons, Scarface had only just joined and had only seen the girl once. He thought she was Master Huang's daughter, so he did not notice anything special about the girl.

The girl blinked her beautiful big eyes and then said to Master Huang.

"Only your godson knows about this place. Your eldest brother and the others have been by your side for so many years. You should be able to tell what kind of people they are at a glance. But it seems you've forgotten that you have another godson who also knows about this place!"

After the girl finished speaking, Master Huang was immediately startled and fell into deep thought. After a while, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he nodded and said.

"If it's that little brat, I'll skin him alive!"

Upon hearing Master Huang's words, the young woman in the seat remained composed and continued speaking thoughtfully.

"I'm starting to get curious about Cheng Jianjun too. It's interesting that even you can't see through this young man. Let me know when you get back to me. That's all for now, I'm sleepy, I have to go to work tomorrow!"

After the girl finished speaking, she yawned, stood up, and without saying anything more, turned and walked out of the room.

Master Huang nodded, and after watching the girl leave the room, he sat down in a chair, picked up a cup, and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Han Chunming had no idea about this. In the middle of the night, someone knocked on his window again. He groggily got up and saw that it was Su Meng, that little brat, outside.

He walked to the window and called out.

"What's wrong? It's the middle of the night, why aren't you sleeping!"

Seeing Han Chunming's attitude, Su Meng pouted, snorted, and was about to leave. But after thinking about it, she stopped, bent down, faced the glass, and said to Han Chunming.

"Han Chunming, you're a complete bastard!"

After saying that, Su Meng stormed off!

Han Chunming inside smiled, shook his head, and went back to bed to catch up on his sleep.

"Women! They're so troublesome, especially the ones who like to cause trouble! It's better to just not see them!"

The next day, Han Chunming was yawning when his mother woke him up. His mother had prepared breakfast again, and when Han Chunming saw the breakfast, he remembered that he seemed to have two pieces of bread in his bag.

He hurriedly returned to the bedside, took out two loaves of bread, and found nine hundred yuan wrapped in newspaper in the bag. Han Chunming thought for a moment, took out a ten-yuan note, wrapped the remaining money with the newspaper, pushed open the cabinet, and hid it in the innermost secret compartment. Only then did he get up with satisfaction, take the two loaves of bread, and walk out of the inner room.

Han Chunming came out with two loaves of bread, and his mother was a little surprised. However, she still scolded him, telling him to take less of these from the factory in the future. Han Chunming quickly nodded with a smile, washed up, ate breakfast, and prepared to go to work.

While they were eating, they saw Su Meng pushing her bicycle past the door. The little girl paused at the door, coughed twice, and looked into Han Chunming's room.

Hearing the sound, Han Chunming looked up and saw Su Meng pushing a bicycle outside. He was a little surprised, but he ignored it and continued to drink his porridge and eat his steamed buns. His leisurely manner caught Su Meng's attention, and she huffed angrily before pushing her bicycle away.

Han Chunming hummed a little tune, completely ignoring the little girl's attitude. He slowly finished his meal, then said a satisfied word to his mother, turned around, grabbed his bag, pushed his bicycle out the door, and went outside.

As soon as Han Chunming stepped out of the courtyard, he saw Su Meng standing prettily at the door, pushing a bicycle. Han Chunming was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and greeted her.

"Su Meng, good morning! I'm off to work!"

After saying that, he got on his bicycle and prepared to leave. Seeing this, Su Meng, who was standing to the side, was so angry that she pushed her bicycle while her little face instantly turned aggrieved. She shouted at Han Chunming.

"Han Chunming, you...you're a complete bastard, a real villain! You've bullied me, and now you're not going to take responsibility, are you?!"

Su Meng's words startled Han Chunming, who quickly looked around. If the neighbors heard this, he would be in deep trouble. In this day and age, messing around with women and getting reported and arrested could lead to serious consequences.

Su Meng's words were so suggestive, it made me feel like I had done something to her.

Wait a minute, I do seem to have kissed Su Meng on the forehead once and hugged her once. That shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Han Chunming quickly stopped the car and whispered a reprimand to Su Meng.

"Su Meng, don't talk nonsense! What did I do to you? We have a purely revolutionary friendship, don't overthink it!"

Upon hearing Han Chunming's urgent rebuttal, Su Meng's face turned pale. She stopped in her tracks, looked at Han Chunming, and tears streamed down her face. This silent yet powerful protest frightened Han Chunming, and several passing neighbors turned to look at them.

Han Chunming looked around and quickly said.

"Alright, Grandma, let's talk about this on Sunday, okay? I'll take you to the Temple of Heaven, or Beihai Park, whatever. We can discuss any problems then, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Su Meng's aggrieved expression vanished, replaced by a look of delight. She flashed a bright smile and said shyly.

"You said it yourself, so you can't go back on your word!"

Han Chunming nodded, then looked around and quickly said.

"I'll go to work now, we'll talk again tonight!"

After saying that, without waiting for Su Meng to say anything more, he rode off on his bicycle in a flash.

Su Meng watched Han Chunming's retreating figure, a smile curving her lips. She didn't know why, but before, when Han Chunming had been trying to please her with his playful smiles every day, she only felt curiosity and affection for him. But now that Han Chunming had changed his attitude towards her, she found herself thinking about him constantly.

She missed his laughter, his antics, his heroic act of rescuing people from the water, and his indifference towards her. In short, the current Han Chunming seemed completely different from the one before her, and this difference was now deeply attracting Su Meng, this obedient girl.

Han Chunming rode his bicycle a long way before letting out a long sigh of relief. All he wanted to say now was one sentence.

"Sin!"

Why is it that the more I treat Su Meng this way, the more she clings to me?

Is this girl just being a masochist?

What a strange thing! Han Chunming took a deep breath, rode his bicycle towards the Yili Food Factory, facing the rising sun and the morning breeze.

Upon arriving at the factory, Han Chunming immediately saw Taozi already standing at the entrance waiting for him. He rode his bicycle up to him and greeted him.

Taozi was also stunned when he saw Han Chunming riding a bicycle. He really didn't expect that Han Chunming would ride a bicycle the very next day after saying he would.

Taozi asked with a smile.

"Borrowed?"

Han Chunming shook his head and said.

"Bought it for 100 yuan, secondhand, what do you think?"

Taozi clicked his tongue in amazement, looked at Han Chunming's bicycle, nodded, and then spoke.

"Chunming, I...I came here today to thank you. Your breathing technique is very good; I can speak much better now!"

Hearing that Taozi's tone had slowed down, Han Chunming nodded, and the two of them went into the factory together!

The effect is pretty good!
