Chapter 904 Gu Nan goes to work normally
Tong Ren smiled with relief after hearing this, nodded, and said, "I'm glad you understand. I know you're capable and thoughtful, so I'm confident in leaving the task of raising him to you. Go back and spend more time and take good care of Li Sheng, so he can stand on his own feet sooner and shoulder the responsibility."
"Understood, Director Tong," Hu Han responded flatly. Without saying anything else, he turned and hurried to the courtyard where Gu Nan lived. He knew that the surveillance mission over there could not be interrupted, and he had to go back quickly to fill in the position, and he couldn't let anything go wrong because of the shift change.
Watching Hu Han's hurried departure, Tong Ren stood still, his brows, which had just relaxed, slowly furrowed again as he fell into deep thought. In fact, the reason he sent people to keep an eye on those hooligans this time was not entirely for Gu Nan's safety.
Firstly, he really wanted to give Li Sheng a chance to gain real-world experience. This kid had a solid theoretical understanding, but lacked practical experience and a rather impulsive temper. This was a perfect opportunity for him to gain more experience in the real world of tracking and surveillance, temper his temper, and truly grow in actual combat. Secondly, he had another matter on his mind—ever since Lu Yan's arrest, the street thugs had indeed become more restrained, and public security had noticeably improved. However, he knew that there were definitely some who had slipped through the net, hiding deep and moving cryptically, never being caught. This time, these people suddenly appeared to monitor Gu Nan, making quite a big fuss. Perhaps they were connected to those who had slipped through the net, and perhaps they could use this opportunity to follow the clues and catch them.
When Hu Han rushed back, Li Sheng was crouching in the shadows of a street corner, staring intently at the entrance to the courtyard. He was actually simmering with displeasure—he felt this surveillance job was dull and unchallenging, but it was a mission assigned by his superiors after all, so he had to suppress his emotions and keep a close eye on the situation, not daring to slack off even for a moment.
Hu Han walked over, patted his shoulder, and said, "You go back and rest first. I'll just watch over here."
Li Sheng shook his head and looked up at Hu Han: "Brother Hu Han, you should take a rest first. I can handle this."
Seeing that he insisted, Hu Han nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll rest for a while. You can wake me up in the middle of the night to take over. By the way, I brought you some food." As he said that, he took out two hot meat buns from his bag and handed them over.
Li Sheng took the bun, a smile on his face, and chuckled, "Brother Hu, you are still good to me. Go and have a rest, I'm here for you."
Hu Han didn't say anything more, just shook his head and found a secluded corner to close his eyes and rest. After all, he was old, and he couldn't endure staying up late like the young ones.
Meanwhile, Monkey (the hoodlum who'd been spying on Gu Nan) cautiously circled the area several times, sometimes down alleys and sometimes through alleyways, repeatedly checking to make sure no one was following him before daring to hurry back to his base. He was feeling incredibly nervous, as if someone was watching him from behind. He had no idea who was watching him back.
The monkey trotted back and was spotted by Xiao Bao just as he reached the door. Xiao Bao saw that the monkey was sweating profusely and his chest was still heaving violently. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why are you panting so hard? Did something happen?"
Monkey leaned against the wall and took several breaths before telling everything he had just encountered. At the end, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Boss Xiao, maybe I'm too suspicious. I kept feeling that someone was following me. I looked back several times, but found nothing. Oh, Boss, I have figured out Gu Nan's whereabouts in the past few days. When he left home, which route he took, and what time he arrived at the factory, I have all written it down. Should we make a plan based on this?"
Monkey leaned forward, almost leaning over the table, his eyes flashing with uncontrollable eagerness. "So when are we going to do it? I think we need to hurry up. If we delay any longer, if Gu Nan notices something's wrong and becomes defensive, it will be very difficult to deal with. It will be even harder to take action then."
Xiao Bao slowly waved his hand, his eyes darkening, his fingertips tapping lightly on the table, his tone unquestionable calmness: "This matter can't be rushed, we have to take the long view. I've already checked, and I'm afraid that Gu Nan has someone backing him up, and judging by the situation, he's quite powerful. Although we want to get rid of him, we must remember one thing - we must not alert the people behind him. Otherwise, if we stir up a hornet's nest and cause even greater trouble, we won't be able to escape unscathed, and that would be a real loss."
Monkey knew that Boss Xiao was always cautious and never fought a battle he wasn't sure of. He always planned every move carefully. So he put away his anxious thoughts and nodded. "Okay, Boss, I'll listen to you and follow your arrangements. I'll go back first. There's still a lot of things to keep an eye on over there, especially that guy Ma Zi. I'm really worried that he won't be able to control himself again and sneak out to drink and make mistakes. I have to go back and keep an eye on him to feel at ease."
Xiao Bao nodded, frowning slightly as he warned, "Go ahead, but be smart and careful on the road. If you really feel someone is watching you, don't force yourself to fight, retreat immediately. Remember, safety first, everything else can be put aside, okay?"
"Got it, boss! Don't worry!" Monkey responded crisply, turned around and hurried away. After all, monitoring Gu Nan was a matter of great importance. Any small mistake could make all previous efforts go to waste, so there was no room for slacking off.
The night passed quietly in a silent confrontation. Gu Nan knew clearly that someone was watching him from the shadows, but he didn't intend to let this become a panic and disrupt his life. He believed that as long as he behaved honestly, went to work and lived a peaceful life every day, and did not actively cause trouble, those people would not be able to find an opportunity to attack him, no matter how closely they watched.
Even if they took action, there were people from the Public Security Bureau to protect him, and they couldn't hurt him. It would just depend on who was stronger. Gu Nan didn't believe that these people were gods and that he couldn't find their weaknesses.
The next morning, just after dawn, Gu Nan left the house on time as usual. He calmly glanced around the alley entrance and along the walls, but didn't see any obvious figures following him. With a slight sigh of relief, he set off towards the steel mill, his steps steady and his expression normal, as if the undercurrent of the previous night had never occurred.
