Bai Bo sat next to the phone, staring at it, waiting for it to ring.
The third child squatted on the side, chewing on popsicles, and said vaguely: "Brother, the second brother has to do it at night. It's only after five o'clock, there can't be news so soon."
Bai Bo shook his head: "The second brother is in a hurry to come back and can't wait until night."
The third child crunched his teeth on the ice and said, "It's okay, brother, the brothers outside are all back, we're fine... I'm just afraid that the second brother will admit the wrong person again."
When he said this, Bai Bo began to worry unconsciously.
The second child's problem of not recognizing people really delays things...
Before he could worry for a moment, the phone rang.
Bai Bo immediately put all worries behind him. When the phone rang for the second time, he picked up the phone and said, "Hey, how's it going?"
He was so impatient that he didn't even have time to ask who it was.
A light laugh came from the other end of the phone.
It's a girl's voice.
Crisp and sweet, like a clear spring in the mountains.
Bai Bo's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
He closed his eyes and asked in as calm a tone as possible: "Sister? Is that you?"
"Haha, of course it's me, otherwise who else could it be?" Lin Nianhe's chuckle reached Bai Bo's ears, "Your second brother?"
Bai Bo's expression froze.
When he recognized Lin Nianhe's voice, he still held on to the last glimmer of hope, hoping that she would call him by chance, hoping that she hadn't met his second son yet.
But now...
"Brother-in-law, you are not kind. If you want to see me for something, can't you just call me and ask me to come over? You suddenly sent fifty people to look for me. It scared me to death."
Bai Bo swallowed.
The other party has accurately stated the number of people, so it can only be——
"What did you do to them?"
Lin Nianhe chuckled and asked, "What do you think I will do to them?"
Bai Bo was silent.
He closed his eyes and tried hard to think about Lin Nianhe's identity.
Lin Nianhe didn't give him much time to think, and said calmly: "You want to see me, and I also want to see you, but I've been too lazy to move recently, so come to Lan County."
"Ha." Bai Bo laughed out loud, "There's no way I can go."
No matter what Lin Nianhe's status is, it is impossible for him to go to Lan County now.
Lin Nianhe said "Huh" without any anger. He just continued calmly: "At this time in two days, if I still can't see you, I will vote against those fifty guys."
"you……"
Bai Bo wanted to say, do you think I am scared?
But Lin Nianhe didn't give him a chance to speak and hung up the phone directly.
Bai Bo held the receiver, choking on the unfinished words that made him unable to breathe.
Lin Nianhe paid the phone bill and walked out of the post office slowly, waving his little hands.
No one was waiting for her on the way, so she went straight back to Su Yuncheng's house.
After she sat in the yard for a while, Zhou Xu came back.
He asked: "Sister Lin, can Bai Bo really come?"
Lin Nianhe peeled the pine nuts and replied: "Of course it's impossible, so you must cover those people."
"Okay, don't worry, Fatty is the best at keeping tabs. He will lead people to watch, and nothing will happen." Zhou Xu assured, but hesitated a little, "It's just about them eating... you said that place can only We can’t get in or out, we don’t have enough manpower.”
There are more than thirty people here, plus the fifty people, they really can't spare anyone to deliver food, so they can't go without eating or drinking, right?
Lin Nianhe said: "It's okay, I'm close and I'll bring you food."
"Okay," Zhou Xu nodded, and added, "The health center said that Wu Genmao is fine and his arm has been reattached."
"That's good." Lin Nianhe breathed a sigh of relief. She threw the pine nut bark into the iron bucket that served as a trash can in the corner, patted the crumbs on her hands and said to him, "I'll ask you to keep an eye on the health center." Now, I’ll go back to the team first.”
"I send you."
"Yeah... that's okay, thank you for your hard work."
…
Two days later.
Bai Bo rubbed his face and asked uncertainly: "Have you really found out clearly? Not in prison, not in the police station, not in Lan County?"
"Yes." The third child frowned, "Second brother and the others have never gone back since they left Lan County."
Bai Bo chewed his teeth. His mind was a little slow after not sleeping for two days.
The fourth brother reminded him tactfully: "Brother, if Lin Nianhe is from the police, they will have no choice but to send them to these places after they arrest the second brother."
Bai Bo squinted his red eyes and murmured to himself: "Then where can she get her dick?"
For two days, Wu Genmao and those two guys didn't call him again. It was obvious that they were also controlled by Lin Nianhe.
The third child looked at the fourth child and shook his head: "If she wasn't a police officer, how could she have arrested the second brother and the others? She's just a little girl, how can she have a gun?"
The fourth child was not in a hurry after being refuted, and reminded him again: "Third brother, don't forget, she is from the capital. According to the eldest brother's previous inference, her goods come from the north... People who can do this kind of business, Nothing is strange about her.”
The third child was silent.
The fourth child added: "If she is really not from the police, then the second brother and the others will be in danger."
Bai Bo's brows knitted together in worry as he listened to their words.
"Jingle Bell--"
The phone rang again.
Bai Bo shuddered and reached out to pick up the receiver.
"Hello?"
"It seems that you don't really want to see me, so our cooperation will end here."
Lin Nianhe's soft voice reached Bai Bo's ears.
His eyes tightened: "Where is my brother?"
Lin Nianhe replied as he should: "It's a no-brainer."
Bai Bo jumped up and slapped the case, his movements were too big and the phone was shaken a few times.
He yelled into the phone: "Which bastard asked you to tear up the vote?"
Lin Nianhe: "You bastard asked me to vote."
Bai Bo's eyes were scarlet, staring at the dusty wall, his eyes wide open.
Two days ago she said that if she didn't see him in two days, she would break up with him.
Now, she told him that the vote was over.
Bai Bo subconsciously glanced at his watch. It was half past six, which was an hour later than when she called herself two days ago.
The time is just right.
Lin Nianhe chuckled lightly and continued: "Bai Bo, you don't think I do this by eating fast and chanting Buddha's name, do you? I gave you a chance, but you didn't work, so I can only act according to the rules."
There was no wave in her tone, as if fifty human lives were nothing worth mentioning in her eyes.
Bai Bo only felt that his throat was dry. He clenched his fists and pressed them against the table. He gritted his teeth and smiled: "Girl, good job!"
"Oh?" Lin Nianhe's voice was joking, "You're not going to tell me that your brother took matters into his own hands this time, are you?"
Bai Bo crushed the table with his fist and squeezed out a "yes" from between his teeth.
His head was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to justify himself.
He was willing to think about it, but Lin Nianhe was too lazy to listen.
She said slowly: "It's not impossible if you want to continue to cooperate. It's just that I want an additional 30% of the profit on my goods, and I also want 15% of your net profit, settled monthly. I want to see the ledger... I want to continue to cooperate, If you come to Lan County to talk to me, I will only wait for you for three days."
There was a "click" and the phone was hung up again.
