Chapter 919 Heizi found out
Heizi followed the monkey from a distance, his heart in his throat, his four paws landing as lightly as a cat's, afraid to make any noise and be discovered. But the monkey in front was so preoccupied with figuring out how to deal with Gu Nan's dog that it didn't even notice the tail following behind. It wasn't until they turned down a quiet alley and stopped in front of a small courtyard with mottled gray walls that Heizi abruptly stopped—he realized he had been led to their lair!
Just as it was about to crouch and quietly sneak in to test the waters, it suddenly caught the scent of an unfamiliar person, cold and hard, with an indescribable hint of danger. It was obvious someone was keeping watch. Heizi immediately stopped, his ears pressed tightly to his head—to rush in now would be to walk into a trap, a recipe for disaster. It could only suppress its temper and retreat silently until it reached the alley entrance. Then it turned and sprinted back towards the courtyard to report the news.
In the courtyard, Monkey pushed open the door and came in, stumbling, the reek of alcohol suffusing his forehead. Xiao Bao, who was sitting at the table cleaning his gun, rubbing the barrel with a cotton cloth, saw him like this, and his brows knitted into knots. "What's wrong? Drinking so much cat urine? Did you forget you have a mission?"
Monkey burped, shook his head, and told him everything he had done during his visit to Gu Nan's house. "Boss Xiao, we can't rush this. Gu Nan's family is too strict. No one leaves the house except for work. And then there's that little black dog. It looks unremarkable, but it's incredibly clever. It's like it's staring at me."
Xiao Bao glanced up at him, his tone tinged with sarcasm: "What? Are you backing down already? If I remember correctly, you were patting your chest and saying before that animal taming is your strong point."
Monkey grinned and patted his chest and said, "Boss, what you said is true. Don't you still believe in my ability? Wait and see. When the time comes, I will definitely catch Ran Qiuye. There will be no ambiguity."
Xiao Bao also knew that this matter was difficult, so he stopped nagging and waved his hand: "Alright, go to bed early. There's no rush for this. I'll think of other solutions."
Monkey had indeed drunk a bit too much, and his head was dizzy. He responded and walked towards the small hut next door. As soon as he reached the door, Ma Zi came up to him and asked in a muffled voice, "Monkey, how is it? Is it done?"
The monkey waved his hands and sighed, "Don't mention it. This is a bit difficult. It's not that easy."
Ma Zi frowned: "If you have any difficulties, just tell me directly. Do you need my help?"
The monkey patted his arm and said, "Alright, if I really need help, I'll definitely come to you. Don't worry about it."
Ma Zi nodded: "Then you should go to bed early. You've drunk so much alcohol, be careful of a headache."
The monkey agreed and lay down, but he felt a pang of unease inside him. Every day he spent here meant a day later getting home. He had been away for so long, and he wondered how his wife and children were doing. He dreamed of going back to see them. He turned over and drifted off to sleep.
Ma Zi looked at his back and scratched his head. He knew Monkey and the others were investigating something important, but since they hadn't explained it in detail, they must have had concerns. So he didn't ask any more questions and went back to pack up the things in the yard.
Xiao Bao stood by the window on the second floor of the tavern, looking out at the bustling streets. He sighed softly, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes. "Ah, it seems this Gu Nan is quite capable and not someone you can easily bully. But I just love challenging capable people like him. The harder the challenge, the more rewarding it is."
He stroked the window sill, a fierce smile curling his lips. "When the time comes, I'll just deal with Gu Nan. Firstly, it will be considered as fulfilling Brother Lu Yan's entrustment and completing his last wish. Secondly, it will also be considered as adding a difficult battle record to myself. Just thinking about it makes me feel happy."
Xiao Bao refused to believe this—no one is without weaknesses. His men had already uncovered Gu Nan's true identity, and it was clear: the things he cared about most in his life were his wife, Ran Qiuye, and their children. This was practically his only weakness. As for other things, like reputation, status, and even the power of the steel mill, he seemed to care very little about them, leaving others with no reason to attack him.
Elsewhere, Gu Nan fidgeted restlessly in his office at the steel mill. He stared at the documents on his desk, his gaze somewhat distracted, his mind already wandering beyond the factory. Those people had suddenly stopped watching him; this calm was strange. Could they have turned their attention to his family?
As soon as this thought came to him, he could no longer sit still. Although he could mobilize some staff from the factory's security department, he couldn't expect them to guard his home every day to protect his family, could he? Although he was the deputy factory director, he didn't have the authority to abuse his power and distract the security staff from their duties. After much thought, Gu Nan felt that he had to handle this matter himself to feel at ease.
His mind was now preoccupied with the identities of those stalkers and their connection to Lu Yan. As for the petty antics of Xu Damao and Deputy Director Li, he had long since given up on them. What kind of trouble could they possibly cause? Deputy Director Li might have some calculating skills, so he was worth keeping an eye on. As for Xu Damao, he was a complete wretch, more trouble than help. Dealing with him was a waste of energy; there was no point in taking him seriously.
Gu Nan knew that Director Tong Ren had always taken good care of him and had helped him resolve crises several times. But he also knew that he couldn't rely on Director Tong for everything. As the Director of Public Security, he had many important matters on his hands, and he couldn't let him focus on such a small matter.
Gu Nan spent most of the day absent-minded. Normally, at this time, he would go to the kitchen to check on He Yuzhu and the others, but this afternoon, he didn't even change out of his work clothes. After finishing the most urgent task at hand, he hurried home—he was truly worried about the situation at home.
As soon as he reached the courtyard gate, Gu Nan saw Tiedan's father squatting on the stone steps beside the gate, holding a half-finished hoe in his hand. He was stunned for a moment, then walked over and asked, "Tiedan's father, why are you here? Aren't you going out to work at this time?"
When Tiedan's father saw it was Gu Nan, he quickly stood up with a simple smile on his face. "Director Gu, you're back. I've been seeing unfamiliar faces hanging around the gate lately. I figured you're busy at the factory, and it's unsafe for your sister-in-law and children to be home alone, so I'm taking advantage of your downtime to keep an eye on things. Don't worry, I'm here. If anything seems amiss, I'll call for help right away."
He always remembered Gu Nan's kindness in his heart - if Gu Nan hadn't helped him find a job in the factory's logistics and often helped his family, how could his family live such a stable life? Now he was willing to do something for Gu Nan from the bottom of his heart.
