Chapter 906 Being followed
Jiang Jiyun knew very well that those people would do anything to achieve their goals.
She became a little worried. If these people turned their attention to her, would they stick to her group like a dog-skin plaster?
Jiang Jiyun suddenly thought of Lin Peiyao and her husband. They were now in Shanghai, which meant that the troops stationed there were also from the National Army.
If I can successfully trick them into joining my team in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, then I can walk around the Shanghai Stock Exchange with ease, right?
And there is Lin Zonglu, he is a brigade commander!
The Japanese now have no troops in Gan Province. If Lin Zonglu suddenly turns against them, the situation here will definitely change dramatically, and the innocent people will suffer.
"Alas, I am only suitable to be a reckless man, not a military advisor. This is too brain-burning and gives me a headache just thinking about it!" Jiang Jiyun sighed and scratched her hair irritably, almost messing up her neat braids.
Seeing this, Xiao Wei couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and gently tapped Jiang Jiyun on the head, jokingly saying, "Why are you overthinking so much? We just need to charge forward, and someone will naturally take care of the brain-burning things. Otherwise, won't they all be idle and have nothing to do?"
After reading Lin Weizhao's letter, the housekeeper Zhao in the room finally had his doubts answered.
It was these people in front of him who saved the master, and at the same time, they were more certain that the "master" in the hospital must be an impostor, and the initial suspicion was correct.
Butler Zhao also learned in the letter that they not only saved the master's life, but also treated his injuries. The master was really disfigured.
This made Butler Zhao feel even more grateful to them.
So, Butler Zhao took out an exquisite wooden box from the drawer, opened it, and pushed it in front of Jiang Wenming. Several gold bars were neatly placed in the wooden box.
Butler Zhao said sincerely, "I'll have to trouble you to take good care of our master. There are some troublesome people at home who need to be dealt with. Once these matters are resolved, we can bring the master back safely."
However, faced with such tempting gold bars, Jiang Wenming remained unmoved.
He smiled and pushed the wooden box back to Butler Zhao, politely declining, "We just happened to be passing by and saved the master. We really didn't do anything special. Although this thing is very tempting, we don't want to live to get it and then die."
Butler Zhao knew that he was being watched. If they took the things out, they would definitely be discovered immediately. It would be bad if someone followed them to find the master.
He reached out and closed the box and said, "Okay, I'll keep the things here for now. You can come and get them anytime after this is done."
After the two of them came out of the office, the people who inspected the quality of the liquor agreed to accept the batch of liquor.
Butler Zhao thought they were using the white wine as an excuse, and was thinking of using his unlucky son's excuse to take the things away, but he didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise.
He nodded and said to one of them, "Although Master Jie and my brat have recommended it, everything should be done according to the rules. Old Jiang, you take them to pay the bill."
Jiang Jiyun and Xiao Wei went over to help unload the goods, then pulled the ox cart and waited for their uncle to leave.
After Jiang Wenming paid the bill, he said goodbye to Butler Zhao with a smile, then turned around and walked back to the ox cart.
He skillfully set up the ox cart and gently waved the whip in his hand, and the ox cart slowly moved towards the city gate.
Along the way, Jiang Wenming and Xiao Wei talked and laughed, and occasionally looked at each other.
When they arrived at the city gate, Jiang Wenming stopped the cart and turned to Xiao Wei and Jiang Jiyun and said, "Let's leave the cart for a while and then go for a walk around the city and do some shopping."
Jiang Jiyun had no objection. She was eager to stay in the city and do something. She didn't know how her insect was progressing, so she had to find someone to try it out.
After the three of them left the ox cart at a storage place near the city gate, they went to the bustling area of the city.
The streets in the city are lined with shops and bustling with people.
They looked around curiously and were interested in all kinds of new things.
Before they knew it, it was already noon and the three of them's stomachs started to growl.
They found a small restaurant on the side of the road, ordered a few dishes, and ate with relish.
Just as Jiang Jiyun was enjoying her meal, she suddenly lowered her voice and said to Jiang Wenming, "Uncle, those people are still staring at us."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenming glanced behind him calmly and found that there were four people scattered in different positions, staring at them seemingly nonchalantly.
He whispered, "Still there, four of them, all behind you."
Xiao Wei also lowered his voice and said, "I know. They were watching us from different places, thinking we didn't notice."
Jiang Jiyun was eating while poking the vegetable leaves in his bowl with his chopsticks. He suggested, "Uncle, find a way to get rid of them and go back first. Then, Brother Xiao Wei and I can go to the hospital to join in the fun!"
Jiang Wenming glanced at her, a hint of warning in his eyes, and said softly, "Don't make a big deal out of this. If you still want to save your own ass, you'd better know your own limits."
Hearing this, Jiang Jiyun subconsciously touched his butt which was still a little painful, and couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
But she still responded sullenly: "I know."
They continued to stroll along the streets, enjoying their shopping.
Jiang Jiyun also enthusiastically selected many insoles and even bought two pairs of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles for each person to wear.
However, just as they were happily shopping, Jiang Jiyun suddenly bent down while walking, covered his stomach tightly with his hands, and kept groaning "Ouch! Ouch!"
Xiao Wei hurriedly stopped and walked quickly to Jiang Jiyun, asking with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Wenming also came over anxiously and said with a worried look on his face, "Don't ask, just go to the hospital! I'll put these things in the car first and come right over."
After saying that, he picked up the bags on the ground, turned around and ran in the other direction.
Xiao Wei picked up Jiang Jiyun and ran towards the hospital.
Because he was not familiar with the route, he had to stop from time to time to ask passers-by for the specific location of the hospital.
The four people who were following closely behind saw them go their separate ways. One of them asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What should we do now? Should we split up and chase them?"
The other man thought for a moment and responded, "How about this? The three of you quickly keep an eye on the big one and the small one. Don't let them get away. I'll go to where the oxcart is parked. Their oxcart is still there, so I guess they'll definitely go there."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man ran quickly in the direction where the ox cart was parked, obviously trying to catch up with Jiang Wenming.
However, what these four people never expected was that Jiang Jiyun played a little trick when storing the ox cart.
She pretended to send Moo Moo and the ox cart into the space with her own hands, but in fact, the storage was just a pretense.
So, when the man rushed to the storage room in a hurry, he naturally found nothing and could not find Jiang Wenming at all.
