Chapter 251 County Magistrate Chen, We Meet Again

"Mom, there's over 1000 yuan in cash in the first drawer of my wardrobe. Can you check if it's still there?"

Zhang Guifen immediately went to check: "Huh, the drawer is open, but the money isn't gone. What a stupid thief!"

David had already guessed that the thief wasn't after the money.

They came for the protective charm.

"That's alright, Mom. You can give the phone to Director Xiao."

Xiao Yanfang took the phone from Zhang Guifang with a smile: "County Chief Chen...we were negligent in our work, I apologize."

"I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves eyeing me. I've been targeted, but I'll just investigate as usual and do my best to solve the case."

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Dawei's lips twitched slightly.

These bastards always resort to such underhanded methods.

This is Dashi Village in Wufeng County.

Chen Shouren got off the bus, returned to his old house, and then called Lin Qiufeng over.

"Feng, lock the door." Chen Shouren pressed his hand on the bag in his arms, gesturing for Lin Qiufeng to close the door.

Lin Qiufeng looked at Uncle Chen with some confusion. Why is the door closed in broad daylight?

But she still obediently turned it off.

Chen Shouren opened his schoolbag and took out a wooden box, which was wrapped in multiple layers of plastic wrap.

"Uncle, what's this?"

Chen Shouren held the bag in both hands, his breathing becoming disordered: "Dawei asked me to bring this."

I haven't opened it or looked at it.

He told me to give you this thing and not to open it.

He said this is something very important.

He doesn't trust anyone else with this.

After much thought, I've decided to leave it to you.

"Find a safe place to hide."

Lin Qiufeng took the wooden box with both hands. It wasn't very heavy, but her hands trembled as she held it.

She had loved David for many years.

Knowing this is definitely crucial.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have asked Uncle Chen to deliver it here and say these things.

This shows that Dawei trusted Lin Qiufeng completely.

"Dawei confessed that this matter must not be known to anyone else."

Don't tell your family either.

It would be dangerous if this got out.

Therefore, you must keep this a secret.

"Did you remember that, Phoenix?"

Lin Qiufeng hugged the wooden box, touching it with one hand as if she could still feel Dawei's lingering warmth: "Hey, Uncle, don't worry, I know what to do."

"Good girl." Chen Shouren looked at Lin Qiufeng's recently tanned skin and suddenly felt a pang of sadness: "You, you shouldn't wait for Dawei anymore."

"I didn't wait, Uncle."

Chen Shouren blinked, his eyes reddening: "Our family...we're so sorry."

"Don't say that, Uncle. Haven't you and Dawei helped our family enough?" Lin Qiufeng bit her lip and smiled helplessly, but tears still streamed down her face.

Chen Shouren took out 300 yuan from his bag: "Use this to buy eggs for your mom..."

"No." Lin Qiufeng quickly took two steps back: "Uncle, I need to take care of what Dawei asked me to do first."

The cloth bag was used to put the boxes that Dawei had brought into the fertilizer bag, and then the cloth bag was stuffed into the fertilizer bag to avoid being seen.

With fertilizer bags on her back and a hoe in hand, Lin Qiufeng went to the forest she had leased.

The area is planted with navel orange saplings, and the hillside is covered with turned-up yellow soil.

Qiu Feng looked around.

They found the largest cedar tree on the hillside, dug a hole under it, took out the things Dawei had brought, wrapped them in several layers of plastic bags, and then buried them, feeling relieved.

After finishing all that, I wiped the sweat from my brow, and the sun had already set.

Looking at the setting sun on the horizon.

Lin Qiufeng smiled contentedly.

"I knew it, you still trust me the most."

I am your family.

Those people are just your tools.

Dawei, I'm going to fight you to the death.

I'll fight you for the rest of my life.

I'll stick with you through this.

A smile curved my lips, and I felt much better.

Looking at the countless navel orange saplings at my feet, my eyes are filled with hope.

……

at night.

David returned home.

Chen Shouren, sitting on the sofa, gave Dawei a wink, indicating that the matter had been taken care of.

David had a premonition that those people would target this protective talisman.

Zhou Xiangzhang died, and Dawei promised that the notebook would also "die," meaning it would be destroyed.

Those people are not trustworthy; we should come and investigate.

So David had his father move.

Zhang Guifen must not know. Her mother has never seen much of the world and is easily frightened. She will say anything based on what others say.

When Chen Shouren returned home, he was actually quite scared. Fortunately, he moved his belongings in time; otherwise, they might have been stolen.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

The house was in a mess because of the thief. Zhang Guifen, who was cleaning up, heard a knock on the door and went to open it.

"Young lady, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, Auntie, I'm looking for County Chief Chen."

Standing outside the door was a sexy young woman wearing a gray business suit, a knee-length skirt with flesh-colored stockings, and shiny black stilettos.

David turned his head and saw that the face looked somewhat familiar.

I feel like I've seen this somewhere before.

The woman outside the door also saw Dawei and waved to him with a smile: "Hi, County Chief Chen, we meet again."

"Hi……"

"I'm Chen Huan. Do you remember me? I showed you around our development zone before, didn't I?" Chen Huan put two boxes of health supplements into the house and then went inside as well.

David nodded slightly in response, remembering that she was Ding Tingting's friend in Guangzhou.

When he returned from Kyoto, he stayed in Guangzhou for a while. When Ding Tingting took him on a tour, he did have contact with this Chen Huan.

However, David didn't really like this woman.

Suddenly, Chen Huan rubbed her leg against Dawei right in front of Ding Tingting.

Very wild.

"It's you! What are you doing here...?"

David sat down on the sofa and looked the woman up and down. She was different from those from the big city; she was very energetic and dressed exquisitely.

Chen Huan tossed her hair, turned slightly apologetically, and replied, "I was just passing through on a business trip and thought I'd drop by to see you. I hope I haven't bothered you?"

"Oh, no... Please have a seat and some tea," David said politely.

Back in Guangzhou, Chen Huan had also hosted Dawei, spending half a day helping him with his tasks.

Chen Shouren gave Zhang Guifen a look, and the two elderly people made an excuse to go for a walk and left the house.

Only Dawei and Chen Huan remained in the room.

Chen Huan looked at the messy living room: "Is this...is this a move?"

David smiled wryly: "No, we're doing pest control, getting rid of cockroaches."

Chen Huan shrank back in fear: "A lot of cockroaches? I'm scared."

She quickly got up, her high heels clicking, and went to Dawei's side, sitting down next to him on the sofa.

A pleasant fragrance wafted over.

David poured her a cup of tea.

"Does your industrial park have any projects in Yuanshan County? Why are you here on a business trip?"

"No, I... I was lying just now~ I came to see you~"

Chen Huan tilted her head, twisted her body, and smiled seductively at Dawei.
