Chapter 103: 101 Reports Second Instance

Li Xianglu, although she had grown taller, was still a thin figure, appearing young, coupled with her just now flustered tone, making people think she was just a child in her early teens. The man with the triangular eyes only glanced once before calling out, and suddenly three or four youths with red armbands surged in and began searching.

Mr. Li’s face suddenly turned ugly, and Li Xianglu gently pinched Mr. Li’s arm, seeing his puzzled look back, she shook her head, signaling that everything would be alright.

Mr. Li was initially puzzled, as the room was large but only contained some old furniture like cabinets and desks, all easily visible, and all the items that were originally on the desk had vanished.

At this moment, Qin Xi was feeling extremely anxious, not knowing who had reported them, allowing people to barge in unprepared, not even having time to hide things. Just now, when they woke up, these people had boldly climbed over the wall into the yard. Previously, his loud voice was only to wake up the people sleeping in the house, not expecting her to hide anything, just hoping she wouldn’t be frightened.

Five minutes had passed, and Grandpa Li coldly snorted: "False accusations are a serious crime!"

The triangular-eyed man still searching the room stiffened, feeling extremely irritated. Damn it, hadn’t it been seen with their own eyes, carrying bags of stuff back home? Why is there nothing now? Just now, after searching the two rooms on that side, apart from a room full of broken furniture, there was nothing else.

Ten minutes had gone by, and Qin Xi also sensed that something was off. First, he glanced unnoticed at the girl, seeing her lips slightly raised in unstoppable self-satisfaction, he couldn’t help but smile, amused that she could still feel proud at such a moment.

Those people were searching the wardrobe for the second time now, and Qin Xi coldly said: "What now, Mr. Zhuo, you want to search a second time?"

The triangular-eyed man suddenly stopped in his tracks, realizing that someone knew his background. He turned to look at the young man standing in the bright light, his expression unreadable.

Qin Xi hummed and continued: "I wonder how Boss Zhu would feel, knowing that Mr. Zhuo is disrespectful to me!"

The triangular-eyed man was suddenly stunned. Boss Zhu! The young man in front of him knew Boss Zhu? Impossible, this kid must be bluffing!

Struggling to maintain composure, Zhuo Guangming shouted loudly: "What Boss Zhu, Boss Niu, I don’t know them, stop making such a fuss, are you afraid we will find something?"

Saying this, he picked up a hoe from a youth’s hand and was about to smash the wardrobe.

Qin Xi simply smiled, a look of pity on his face: "Well, since you don’t know Boss Zhu, then I won’t say anything, do as you please!" he said, spreading his hands.

Faced with this, Zhuo Guangming no longer dared to use the hoe, how could he not know Boss Zhu? That guy was the county’s underworld boss, a real desperado. If anyone dared to touch someone under his protection, the next day they would be found dead on the streets.

Despite their boldness as the Hong Guards, they were wary of someone like Boss Zhu. They decided to spare this household for now, to verify their relationship with Boss Zhu later—if they really knew him, they’d make it favorably; and if not, if Zhuo Guangming was being fooled, then they would see!

Thinking this, the self-proclaimed adaptable Zhuo Guangming put down the hoe, chuckled, and said: "Alright, we’ve checked once as reported, and didn’t find anything suspicious, let’s go."

After saying this, he led the way to the yard, and the youths hurriedly followed.

Suddenly, the crowd of onlookers dispersed, leaving only Mr. Li, Qin Zhen, and the Qin brothers.

Qin Zhen, still shaken from the scare, patted his chest: "Chou Xiang, you really did it, where did you hide the stuff?"

Qin Xi slapped his hand over, hitting Qin Zhen so hard he almost knelt, yelping in pain!

Mr. Li also felt a sense of relief, continually saying: "Thank goodness Xiangxiang hid the things, otherwise this would have turned into a big problem."

But no one asked her to take out the things on the spot, as everyone left the house. As Qin Xi reached the doorway, he suddenly said, "I’ll go buy some buns, you tidy up and make some porridge, you always complain when I cook."

Li Xianglu rolled her eyes, how could he blatantly lie like that, it was obviously his cooking that was not tasty, yet he blamed everyone else for being picky.

After entering the room, Li Xianglu faced the mess that had been searched through, sighed, and began cleaning up, then she opened the wardrobe and neatly arranged the items in the secret compartment.

Yes, this late Qing dynasty pear wood wardrobe also had a secret compartment, a nearly two square meter area with a thickness of twenty centimeters underneath, which from the external carving seemed not to have such a thick base, and the craftsmanship was also very exquisite.

But there was nothing in it, as Li Xianglu had discovered this last time while cleaning the furniture, never expecting to use it so quickly.

After arranging all the items, Li Xianglu hurried to fold the beddings and clean up, then she went to the kitchen.

Grandpa had already boiled a large pot of water, and the corn porridge was also cooking.

After Li Xianglu went in and washed up, she sat down and asked somewhat enticingly, "Grandpa, who reported us?"

Mr. Li was also pondering this question and shook his head, "I don’t know, the person didn’t say. Brother Qin will need to find someone to look into it."

Li Xianglu nodded, then suddenly asked curiously, "Is that Boss Zhu very powerful?"

Mr. Li turned his head and glanced at his granddaughter’s bright eyes, smiling a little as he sighed, "Yes, he’s the kingpin in a few surrounding counties."

Li Xianglu was stunned. There was still an underworld presence at this time? She thought it only existed after the economic reforms.

Grandpa smiled, "There’s always been underworld bosses, at all times, but this Boss Zhu is a legendary figure. I just don’t know how Qin got to know such a person; they seem quite familiar with each other."

Li Xianglu too was full of curiosity, right, this guy, how does he know all sorts of people? It was already surprising that he was familiar with He Chongguang of the Armed Forces Department, and now he even knows the big underworld bosses of several counties. He must have a wide network.

While they were talking, Qin Xi arrived with fifteen buns and ten two-mixed flour buns.

The porridge was ready too. After Qin Zhen came in and returned some buns to the Chen Family next door, they all started to eat.

While eating, Mr. Li suddenly said, "We’re going back to the village today, we can’t stay in this city."

Li Xianglu was also silent, right, can’t stay, it’s better to go back to the village. At least no one would report them there, even though she could hide things, but if someone tries to frame her by planting something, that’s tough to guard against.

Qin Xi nodded and said, "Alright, I have some things to do later, you guys start packing."
