A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Song Xichen and Shopkeeper Liu exchanged a glance and said, "Your idea is quite good, but the most crucial point is Wu Mingqiang. I'm not sure if he can be trusted. After all, he's involved in the underworld, and people involved in the underworld have no integrity or morals."

After hearing what they said, Gui'er felt uncertain. She mumbled, "But I think this is really the best solution we have come up with so far."

Shopkeeper Liu thought for a moment and suddenly smiled and said, "That's not the case. We can find some excuses and ask him to rent the car to us first to transport some gray area goods. Let him make some money and lower his guard. Then, when he gets the car the second time, we can put our people and supplies in the car. It would be best if we could also send one or two people who can drive. That way, we don't need him to drive and can drive it ourselves. Wouldn't that be more appropriate?"

"I don't think so. Wu Mingqiang is a cautious person. He definitely wouldn't feel comfortable handing the car over to you. He would definitely want to follow the car himself. Even if he doesn't do it himself, he would send his men." Gui'er said.

The three of them fell silent for a moment.

"Knock, knock." There was a knock on the door.

"Nurse Sha, are you there? There is a patient who specifically wants to see you. He says his surname is Wu and he has an appointment with you." It was the head nurse's voice, and her tone was rather impatient.

"It should be Wu Mingqiang. I asked him to investigate Sha Yanyao before." Gui'er whispered to Song Xichen and Manager Liu.

"Why don't you go and see what's going on?"

Guier nodded, opened the door and walked out, smiling and saying to the head nurse, "Thank you, head nurse."

The head nurse glanced at her and said, "You're amazing! You're just a nurse, and yet you still have patients making appointments with you."

Gui'er smiled and said nothing and hurried to the lobby, where Wu Mingqiang was already waiting.

"Miss Sha, after these days, I think it's time to change the medicine," said Wu Mingqiang.

"Oh, you are here to change the dressing, right? Please follow me." Guier said, and took him to an empty ward swiftly. Then she took some medicine and gauze and was about to change his dressing.

Wu Mingqiang quickly held Gui'er's hand and said, "Miss, I can do it myself. How dare I trouble you? This kind of minor injury is common for us. I can bandage it myself."

"Then you came to see me, did you find out something?" Gui'er immediately thought of the fact that she had asked him to follow Sha Yanyao before.

"The young lady is indeed very clever. From that day on, I followed her orders and sent people to monitor the young master from a distance. He usually interacts closely with Chief Song of the police station. Then there's the popular dancing girl, Little Nightingale, who is now the most popular dancer at the Paramount, and the young master has an ambiguous relationship with her. For convenience, the young master specially booked a luxury suite for Little Nightingale in the hotel on the third floor of Wing On Department Store. It is said that the monthly room fee is 3 yuan."

Gui'er frowned. This was all a mess, with no valuable clues. She patiently asked, "Besides visiting old friends and hanging out with those questionable girls, has he met anyone else?"

吴鸣锵舔了舔嘴唇有些犹豫的说：“这个大少爷生性警觉，有好几回我派出去的人，差点被发现跟踪，最后只好假装小偷上前去摸大少爷的包，被大少爷狠揍了一顿，才蒙混过关。不过后来我发现，他们每次被大少爷在某个特定的区域甩掉，我就亲自去了那里，发现那里鱼龙混杂，对于藏身极为有利，想着大少爷很有可能是过来找某个人，就安排人乔装打扮成修水管的，卖报纸的，上门推销的，逐家去排查，发现有1栋楼里的其中一层被人全包了下来。住的一水20多到40岁左右的青壮年，全是单身同一天来的，每天不同的人会出外，接触的都是本地的包打听或者消息灵通的地痞流氓之类。”

When Gui'er heard this, she knew it was definitely a major gain. Maybe this was the base of the revolutionary committee established by Sha Yanyao himself in Jiangcheng.

She quickly asked Wu Mingqiang, "Really? Where is the address?"

Wu Mingqiang pulled out an envelope and said, "It contains the address there, and those people are not good people either. Some of them, besides going out to steal money and inquire about connections, would also secretly go to casinos and nightclubs. I used this to get a list of names and photos of these people. Of course, it's only a part of them. I feel that these people have a strong anti-detection awareness, a bit like the style of the people in the Nanjing Military Commission. We can't afford to offend them, so we didn't dare let the brothers get too close. This shouldn't have anything to do with that Zhao Zongguan?"

Gui'er was ecstatic holding the envelope, but she still pretended to be calm as she weighed it and said, "It really has nothing to do with Butler Zhao. Besides, do you know what happened in the Marshal's Mansion these past two days?"

Wu Mingqiang was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said respectfully, "I don't dare to ask about the affairs of the young lady and the young master's mansion, but I heard that the Marshal seems to be ill again. This is the news I heard from the outside."

Gui'er hadn't expected the news of the Marshal's illness to spread so quickly. She nodded and said, "Yes, Father is a little confused now. He's even changed his mind and said he wants to marry me to Young Master Song. So his previous words are no longer valid. My crisis is over. However, you know, if Father continues to be ill and never gets up again, there will definitely be a struggle in the Marshal's Mansion. You understand what I mean, right? These people may be Big Brother's helpers, so I'll keep this information and give it to Second Brother for reference. It's already very difficult for you to find this little information, so don't look for it again, lest Big Brother become suspicious. Let your people evacuate quickly. I don't have much money here, so use this little bit to reward the brothers." As she spoke, she pulled a small yellow croaker from her purse and handed it to Wu Mingqiang.

Wu Mingqiang waved his hands repeatedly and said, "How can we ask for money for working for the young lady? We are already receiving wages from the young master."

Guier smiled and said, "You are receiving wages from Second Brother because you are helping him. This time, I asked you to help. I increased your workload, so of course I should pay you more."

Wu Mingqiang kept refusing to accept the property, so Gui'er had no choice but to give up. She thought for a moment and said, "Oh, right? Didn't we manage a mine before? I remember that mine had some trucks transporting ore. Now that the mine is under the management of the Song family, have those trucks been handed over to the Song family as well?"
