The Bravest

Lin Jie left the Sakura Pavilion, and it was just getting dark. Looking at the afterglow in the sky, Lin Jie hummed a little tune, feeling very happy.

Just as Lin Jie was about to hail a rickshaw to go home, his view was blocked by a car.

"Mr. Lin, where are you going? I'll take you there!" A beautiful face appeared from the back seat window of the car. It was Yoko Yoshikawa.

"Haha, I want to go home, but it's not very convenient to take Miss Yoshikawa's car!"

"No, I just want to visit Lin Sang's wife and learn from them how they tied you up."

Yoshikawa Yoko said this with a natural expression and a full smile on her face. But the way she looked at Lin Jie was like a seductive look, as if she wanted to eat him up.

"Haha, Miss Yoshikawa, you're joking. I'm leaving first. Bye!"

Lin Jie was really afraid of this witch. When he saw a rickshaw in front of him, he quickly walked forward, got on it, and told the driver to leave.

Yoko Yoshikawa looked at Lin Jie fleeing in a panic, licked her lips and smiled triumphantly.

"Wife, I'm back. Do you have any food?" Lin Jie shouted as soon as he entered the door.

"Why are you yelling? Didn't you say you were going out fooling around with my brother?"

Sun Yuelan was leaning on the sofa, chewing melon seeds and chatting with Haitang, when she was startled by Lin Jie's loud voice.

"Honey, there's no rice left. Let me cook some noodles for you!" Haitang stood up with her big belly and was about to go to the kitchen when she was stopped by Lin Jie.

"Oh, there's no need for you. I can do it myself."

Lin Jie certainly wouldn't let Haitang help him cook with her bulging belly, and he didn't want to trouble the nanny at home, so he went to the kitchen to cook noodles.

"Haitang is back. He's not home all day, and I didn't see him starve to death. Don't bother with him." Sun Yuelan curled her lips and stopped Haitang who was about to follow her into the kitchen.

"Hubby is hungry!"

Liu Haitang sat down slowly on the sofa. Somehow, she got pregnant a month later than Sun Yuelan, but her belly was bigger, and her body was not very comfortable.

"You don't have to take care of him when he's hungry. We can just take care of ourselves." Sun Yuelan is not like Haitang who only knows how to please Lin Jie.

"Oh, Sister Yuelan, why hasn't my eldest sister come back yet? She even took the child away. Did she go back to her parents' home?"

"I went back to my parents' house this afternoon. I forgot to tell you." As he was speaking, Ye Wulian came in from outside.

"Sister, have you eaten yet? Your husband is cooking noodles in the kitchen. Do you want him to make more?"

Haitang is still the same, she cares about every family member.

"Well, I'll go and take a look." Ye Wulian had actually eaten, but she just wanted to see Lin Jie.

"Hey, Wu Lian, have you eaten yet? The water is boiling now, I'll put in some more noodles."

"Okay, I'll just eat a little."

……

When Lin Jie returned home to be with his wife, Liu Qingshan had already driven Lin Jie's car, taking Tiezhu and another young man to the back alley of a rice shop.

"You guys watch the car, I'll go in by myself." Liu Qingshan went around to the front door and entered the rice shop.

This rice shop was a secret transportation station specially opened for the purpose of raising medicines this time.

"Director Liu is here, please come in." The shopkeeper sent the waiter away and entertained him personally. This was an important guest, and the welfare home needed a lot of rice.

"Shopkeeper Tong, what is the price of rice today? I have to tell you, this is the food for the children, you can't make too much."

"President Liu is a kind-hearted man. The price is negotiable. Let's discuss it inside." The shopkeeper took Liu Qingshan into the inner room.

"Lao Liu, what's going on? Didn't you say we can't contact each other anymore? For your safety, I'm leaving with the medicine tomorrow."

The shopkeeper asked Liu Qingshan nervously.

"Let's not talk about this for now. We just had a batch of medicines. Luckily we made it in time. The medicines are in the car in the backyard. Open the back door and unload them quickly."

"Really?" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up. This was a pleasant surprise and he didn't bother to blame Liu Qingshan.

After unloading the goods, the shopkeeper shook Liu Qingshan's hand and said goodbye to this comrade-in-arms whom he had only known for a month:

"Lao Liu, I and everyone who knows about your existence will go with the medicine. Please take care of yourself."

"Take care of yourself."

Liu Qingshan looked at his comrade with envy as he was about to return to the organization's embrace. He shook his hand vigorously, then turned around resolutely, got into the car and left.

Although Liu Qingshan completed his task, he remained on high alert in the following days.

As long as the medicines and the shopkeeper and others do not reach a safe place, he and Lin Jie will still be in danger.

It was not until ten o'clock in the evening ten days later that Liu Qingshan finally heard an article on the radio, "The Wanderer Returns"

This was an agreement between him and the shopkeeper, indicating that they and the medicines had reached their own territory.

……

"Xiao Jie, I have news. Everyone has arrived safely. The people who have seen me have also withdrawn. Don't worry."

Liu Qingshan was so excited all night that he didn't dare to tell Lin Jie on the phone. The next day, he finally arrived at Lin Jie's welfare home and told Lin Jie the good news.

"That's good! By the way, there is one thing I haven't told you because I'm afraid you might worry. Gang Village has begun to restrict my sphere of influence. Huang Tianfu and Liu Ziming have been supported by Gang Village."

"Ah! Does he have any other actions?" Liu Qingshan asked Lin Jie a little nervously.

"No, he just poached Huang Tianfu and Liu Ziming from me, and in turn formed a check and balance between us. He broke the foundation for us to keep each other warm."

“How did you cope with it?”

"I had a few arguments with Gangcun, and then I gave in. After that, I complained to him that he gave my way to wealth to others."

"Well, this is good. It fits your greedy style. If you don't make a fuss, it will arouse his suspicion." Liu Qingshan approved of Lin Jie's response, but he still said the same thing:

"You may have barely gotten away with it this time. Next time you embezzle supplies, don't go too far. Gangcun must have discovered your trick, otherwise he wouldn't have taken action at this time. At least he should wait until you help him deal with the supplies in the warehouse."

"Dad, I understand. I will pay attention next time. However, this time Gangcun said he would find a buyer himself. I don't know which way he will take it."

Lin Jie has been paying attention to the current black market and smuggling situation, but has not found any special buyers. He is also wondering how Gangcun can be so patient.

"Anyway, Gangcun will definitely keep an eye on you for a while, so you have to be careful."

"I understand, Dad. You should go visit Haitang more often. She misses you, but it's not convenient for her to go out."

"I see. You should also take advantage of this time to stay at home with your wife and children. Stay calm and don't let anything go wrong."
