Although the speculation of a second attack had gone through Li Zishen's mind countless times, he still didn't want Tang Xiaowan to worry about it, let alone affect her good mood.
I just lost my temper!
"I'm sorry Xiaowan, don't be afraid, everything will be fine."
When Li Zishen said these words, his eyes were already filled with red bloodshot eyes, and Tang Xiaowan couldn't help but think of the morning when he woke up from his injury.
The man in front of him also looked like this.
"Okay, okay, blame me for saying the wrong thing, you look nervous, hahaha."
In order to lighten the atmosphere, Tang Xiaowan laughed after she finished speaking, but her smile stung Li Zishen's heart like a needle.
The one who should apologize is obviously me!
I promised to protect you for the rest of my life, but when you were attacked at night, I was hundreds of kilometers away in Jincheng.
It’s not safe even in Liyuan!
Second uncle and Lin Ping, one created a scandal and slandered you, the other secretly changed the formula of the medicine to stimulate you.
Thinking of this, Li Zi shed tears.
In order not to be discovered by Tang Xiaowan, he walked straight towards the window: "You are right, it is all my fault. I promise, nothing like that will happen again in the future."
"Wow, I'm so hungry. When will dinner be served?"
He is indeed a foodie!
"It should be soon. I'll call and ask."
At this time, on the other side, there is a bamboo forest.
Bailong was turning the key and observing everything around him.
A crashing sound broke the silence.
The Plum Garden is built against the mountain, with large tracts of bamboo planted on its north, south, and rear sides. Only the west side has a path that leads directly to the highway intersection on the mountainside.
Compared with the clutter on the back, the south side not only features stone tables, stone stools, and even a swing with an all-wooden frame.
The hemp rope is very thick, and the wooden board on which people sit is also very thick.
Bailong stuffed the key into his trouser pocket, then stood with his hands behind his back, looking thoughtfully at the words on the board.
"Tangtang is the best, number one in the world."
The knife skills are really good, who could have carved it?
Bailong had already been here when he came to investigate the night attack in Meiyuan last month.
Based on his many years of martial arts experience, he can conclude that these words are definitely not something that a little girl can carve out.
"Brother Long, do we really not want to go in?"
Bai Long turned around and said calmly: "Brother Shen has his own reasons for how he arranges it. You just need to stick to your respective posts. No need to say more."
The man who spoke nodded and left quickly.
He is the team leader and his name is Wang Bing.
Including him, there were a total of 15 bodyguards in black who came with him, all of whom arrived yesterday morning.
Two off-road vehicles and one commercial vehicle.
Under Bailong's command, they not only conducted a thorough investigation of the Plum Garden, but also reinstalled cameras and nighttime voice-activated lights in various areas.
Every time they go on a mission, the bodyguards in black will wear black camouflage uniforms, hand over their personal mobile phones, and carry Li Yuan's special communication tools.
Bai Long got up early yesterday to send Tang Xiaowan to school, and then went straight to Meiyuan. He hasn't slept a wink yet.
You can imagine how hard it is!
Although such missions happened from time to time, the fact that they were all for Tang Xiaowan both times still shocked him.
"who?"
Bailong's gaze fell firmly on the back of the stone table.
Just now, a dark shadow seemed to flash across, and several slender bamboos swayed slightly.
"Brother Long, there is a small truck going up the mountain."
Wang Bing suddenly broke in, interrupting Bai Long's thoughts.
Some time ago, his people had been squatting here for so many days. Not to mention cars going up the mountain, there was not even a passerby at the highway intersection.
Self-driving and sightseeing on the weekend?
Truck, no way!
"You stay, I'll go take a look."
Bailong glanced in the direction of the stone table, and then rushed to the gate of Meiyuan.
The two places are not far apart, only two minutes away.
Not long after, a white truck slowly drove over, with the slogan "If you want to decorate, come to me." spray-painted on the body, as well as a contact number and the company's detailed address.
After parking the car, two lean men got out.
He is about 30 years old and has slightly dark skin.
Bailong looked at the driver steadily: "Hello, what can I do?"
"Oh, you're finally back. I have to tell our boss quickly that it's already September and we can't put off the renovation any longer."
Before Bailong could ask again, the truck driver had already taken out his mobile phone and started making a call.
Jili Guala said a lot.
It was all in dialect, and Bailong couldn't understand it.
But the general idea seems to be that the door is open and there is someone outside. Should I unload part of the newly brought goods and keep them for later use, or come back in the afternoon.
The other man was silent the whole time, with a simple and honest look on his face, and his hands were rough and scratched.
It seems that he is probably a carpenter.
Bai Long has reported the situation to Li Zishen.
Grandma Tang's intention to repair the plum garden had been known to her as early as last month, but this person's arrival was too coincidental.
Don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst!
At present, Miss Tang's safety is of paramount importance and cannot be taken lightly.
In less than a minute, Bailong received a reply.
[If the other party completes the procedures, you can enter the courtyard, except the main building. 】
[Yes, Brother Shen, I understand. 】
At this time, the truck driver also finished his phone call and walked straight towards Bailong.
Mandarin has also transformed and is no longer a dialect.
"Is Miss Tang here?"
Bai Long waved his hand and refused the cigarette offered by the truck driver. He said calmly: "Just tell me if you have anything. Miss Tang is not free."
"Oh, okay, that's it. Ms. Tang Mei entrusted our company to repair the plum garden. The contract stipulated that it must be completed by the end of September. But you see, something happened to Ms. Tang Mei some time ago, so you guys haven't opened the door yet. , what our boss means is to see if we can extend it to October 8th?”
"Is there a contract?"
"Yes, yes, I have been carrying it with me. Please wait."
The driver hurriedly ran back to the cab, brought a folder over, and handed it to Bai Long with both hands.
On the last page, there is indeed Tang Mei's autograph, and the time is correct. The construction period is from September 1st to October 1st.
Tang Xiaowan was not in Meiyuan during this period, so it was obviously a delay.
But one thing is strange. He is just the driver, not the person in charge. How can he carry the contract with him?
Do you come over every once in a while to take a look?
Why didn't we see him when we installed surveillance yesterday?
Various questions flashed through his mind quickly, and Bailong returned the contract to the driver: "The construction period can be extended by a few days, but the main building will not be moved for the time being. Let's start with the courtyard."
"May I ask... are you the master of this?"
"Yeah, okay."
"Okay, let's unload the wood first. These are all just brought back. Anyway, they are all prepared for your plum garden, so you don't have to make a second trip."
"Yeah, okay."
With a flash of Bailong's right hand, the two bodyguards in black behind him completely opened the gate of Meiyuan.
The spacing is wide enough for trucks to enter.
