Lin Ru looked out through the glass and actually saw Li Muchen outside the window.

This is really strange. Why would you say something so mysteriously?

Lin Ru opened the door, and Li Muchen walked over vigilantly and whispered.

"Lin Zhiqing, excuse me for interrupting you. I just want to talk to you for a few minutes and then I'll leave."

Li Muchen observed Lin Ru's expression and continued speaking when he saw that she was listening attentively.

"I am now an educated youth sent to the countryside. I hope you can keep my previous military service a secret."

The expression on Li Muchen's face was serious and solemn.

He had thought about going to the countryside where Lin Ru was, but when he really saw Lin Ru, he felt nervous, fearing that she would reveal his identity, so he took advantage of the night to warn her.

"That's it. I won't tell anyone else. Well, don't be too sad. Being an educated youth is pretty good."

Lin Ru hesitated for a long time and decided to say a few words of comfort. There is indeed a big gap from being a glorious soldier to being an educated youth sent to the countryside, and it is human nature not to want others to know.

Li Muchen guessed that Lin Ru must have misunderstood, but this was fine as long as his identity was not revealed.

"Thank you, Lin Zhiqing. I'll leave first."

After he said that, he nodded towards Lin Ru and disappeared into the darkness.

Lin Ru felt that this person was really making a big deal out of nothing. She was not the kind of person who could not keep a secret.

Given how tight-lipped she is, if she were in a war, she would rather die bravely than say a word. She is not like Director Zhuang, who is a spineless person and would kneel on the ground and lick other people's shoes just for a little bit of money.

I had previously fantasized about using the connections in Li Muchen’s army to hand over the account books, but now the situation seems unclear.

Well, I'd better go to the county to inquire tomorrow and then make plans.

After Li Muchen left, Lin Ru didn't have the heart to choose a concubine from a pile of textbooks. He just fell asleep. For some reason, he felt a little sorry for the concubines. What should he do?

Amid the continuous crowing of roosters, Lin Ru rubbed her eyes and her brain was forced to turn on.

Because I had something to do today, I didn't dare to stay in bed at all. I got up quickly, got ready, and started my favorite part.

What should I eat? After thinking about it, I decided to have a bowl of egg noodles with an omelet. It was a day that I couldn't get along with eggs.

When I arrived at the county town, I hurried to ask the gatekeeper of a certain committee about things.

"Hello, sir. What did you have for breakfast today?"

The old man glanced at Lin Ru and his alertness was fully raised. He wondered where did this person come from and why he came up to him and tried to get close to him. What did he want to do?

Seeing the old man’s tense body, Lin Ru continued to move forward shamelessly.

He touched the Daqianmen in his pocket and saw that she was just chatting about family matters, so the old man softened his attitude.

Seeing this, Lin Ru started talking nonsense here and there. Gradually, the old man let down his guard and the conversation became more and more excited.

"I heard that Director Zhuang was punished by Wong Tai Sin again. Could it be that his mortal enemy did it?"

While the old man was in a state of confusion, Lin Ru hurriedly asked questions.

"That's impossible. Director Liu was on a business trip and just came back today."

"Then you can send your men to do it."

"I'm telling you in secret, Director Liu is the most upright person in the committee. He would never do anything behind the scenes."

"Then he is going against Director Zhuang. Isn't he afraid of Director Zhuang's revenge?"

"Director Liu has real relatives in the municipal government, so he is not afraid of that crazy Director Zhuang."

"Master, you are a know-it-all. You even know this."

After being flattered by Lin Ru, the old man smiled happily, and the wrinkles on his face deepened a little.

"Master, Director Zhuang is so crazy and no one is in charge of him."

"You don't know, he also has connections up there, but Mayor Zhang doesn't like him. It's said that Director Zhuang also sent his relatives to the farm, but Mayor Zhang couldn't find any evidence, so he never took action."

Lin Ru knew she had asked enough questions and was afraid that the old man would come to his senses and become suspicious, so she hit him down with all her strength. The old man became dizzy from the hammering. She said goodbye in a hurry and left so quickly that there was an afterimage, and she disappeared from the street in the blink of an eye.

The old man took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked it leisurely. His mind became clearer after smoking it. He realized that he had said too much. He kept hitting his head in regret and secretly swore in his heart that he would control his mouth next time.

Lin Ru secretly took note of a few people and went to Director Zhuang's new home to inquire about his recent situation.

The alley intelligence station is the favorite of the aunties. It is really such a magical place everywhere.

Handfuls of melon seeds brought them closer together, and the aunties kept praising Lin Ru.

"I heard that Director Zhuang was punished by Wong Tai Sin again. Is this true?"

"Look at what you said, is it true? If you remove the word 'ma', it's true."

The old lady was cracking melon seeds like a zipline, like a peeling machine. She spat out the melon seed shells in her mouth and continued talking.

"Didn't you see the shit all over the yard? There were words written in blood. Wong Tai Sin is using shit to commit murder."

Lin Ru was nearly choked to death by the melon seed husks. This old lady wanted to kill her. She was such a good storyteller that she could even get seven words wrong.

When the aunt saw Lin Ru coughing so violently, she immediately patted her on the back with concern.

"Sister, how come you can choke when eating melon seeds? You should learn from me. My melon seed-cracking skills are better than mine in the whole county."

The auntie even put the melon seeds into her mouth to demonstrate to Lin Ru, and in order to show it more clearly, she moved closer to her.

But before Lin Ru could stop coughing, he was knocked dizzy by the old lady's physical attack.

The old lady thought Lin Ru was stunned, and she even showed off her special skills with her tongue. Her tongue flew freely in her mouth, and she performed various difficult movements. Lin Ru felt dazzled.

It's the same piece of meat, but how come the aunt's has so many functions? Lin Ru was amazed. It turned out that all the strange people were hiding in the market.

The aunt finally found her conscience and stopped the performance. Lin Ru then breathed a sigh of relief, as she was almost suffocated to death.

Seeing Lin Ru's shocked expression, he was extremely satisfied. He crossed his legs and wanted to lift them up, but after trying for a long time, he couldn't do it. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he put them down awkwardly, straightened his legs and brushed off the dust as if nothing had happened.

Lin Ru looked at the aunt's performance, which was trying to cover up her crime but made it even more obvious, and did not dare to laugh out loud.

"Come on, come closer, I'll tell you more about Director Zhuang."

After the aunt failed to cross her legs, she changed the subject.
