Fatty Li quickly volunteered, "Assistant Gong, it's late. Let us go with you."
"No, no! With you here, I don't want to earn this money! You're not a good kid! Hmph! "
The beggar actually threw the stack of money back on the spot, showing considerable integrity.
However, his eyes had been staring at the stacks of money on the table, and he didn't hide his greed for them.
Gong Xueer didn't have the courage to go with this beggar to find Chen Qiang alone.
However, she also saw that Fatty Li had really offended the beggar.
So, Gong Xueer patiently explained, "Uncle, you should be able to see that I can't take this one hundred thousand yuan by myself. I can only let Brother Li accompany me to go with you.
Don't you want to get the money as soon as possible?
As long as I see the person, I will give you all the money on the spot. I will never break my promise. How about it? "
Perhaps Gong Xueer's gentle words moved the beggar, or he couldn't get rid of the temptation of the large sum of money. Finally, the beggar was shaken.
Seeing that the beggar finally agreed, Gong Xueer turned back and said to Fatty Li, "Brother Li, please take two more people with you. The rest of the people will continue to be on duty here."
After the arrangement, Fatty Li took the two security guards, took the one hundred thousand yuan, and followed the beggar and Gong Xueer out of the building.
"Uncle, where is the person I'm looking for?"
After walking for nearly half an hour, Gong Xueer found that they were about to leave the city. She was a little uncertain and asked softly.
The beggar waved his hand and said, "Don't try to trick me into telling you the place. You people in the city are not trustworthy. Your tricks are too deep. If you want to find the person, just follow me. Don't talk nonsense!"
Gong Xueer had no choice but to be patient. She followed the beggar and gradually left the city in the night.
In front of them was the Chengguan Bridge.
However, strangely, the beggar didn't take Gong Xueer and the others to the bridge, but went down the bridge from the side.
In the dark, the dam stones on the side of the bridge were extremely difficult to walk. Fortunately, Fatty Li played a role at the critical moment. He almost supported Gong Xueer and helped her to the bridge.
Under the bridge, weeds were overgrown, mosquitoes and flies were flying about, and the smell was unpleasant.
Fatty Li supported Gong Xue 'er and fell behind, letting the two security guards follow closely behind the beggar. He whispered, "Assistant Gong, this old beggar is either a madman or a liar. We have to guard against him. If there is danger, you run first, and we will cover for you."
Gong Xue 'er was thinking about finding Chen Qiang as soon as possible. At this time, when she heard Fatty Li's words, she was a little scared.
If there was really any danger, with her small body, even if she wanted to run, she wouldn't be able to, right?
While they were thinking, the beggar suddenly turned around in the reflection of the river under the bridge and said, "Hurry up, the person you're looking for is right in front!"
Hearing this, Gong Xue'er mustered up her courage and walked a few steps forward.
Under the bridge, on both sides of the river that was a few meters wide, there were four or five dried-up bridges. With the help of the weak light, Gong Xueer finally noticed that this place was like another world!
A world that was struggling at the edge of the city.
In the small shacks that were simply built with more than a dozen old cardboard boxes, dirty heads poked out from time to time. When they saw Gong Xue'er and the others coming over, those numb dirty faces retracted back into the shacks again, as if they were about to enter hibernation.
Ten meters away, in the two shacks next to each other, one of them was empty, and the other only had a pair of legs exposed outside. In addition, next to the legs, there was a pair of bright eyes that were staring at Gong Xueer and the others without blinking, and they could faintly hear bursts of whining sounds!
Those weren't human eyes!
The beggar stopped Gong Xueer and the others and said, "I'll say it again! If you dare to lie to me again, I will summon all the brothers here and kill all the bad guys in the city! "
At this time, even Fatty Li and the two security guards were terrified.
This was the beggar's world. If it was in broad daylight, they dared to say a few words because of the number of people, but here –
The beggar was right. This was their world!
"See? The empty nest in front is mine. The one next to it is the person you're looking for. "
"Ah?"
Gong Xueer heard that and exclaimed softly, and covered her little mouth in time.
No matter how she imagined, she would never have thought that the husband of President Fu, the logistics director of the Tianhong Group, would be in a beggar's nest!
"Hehe, little girl, I advise you to keep your voice down!" The beggar said with a teasing smile, "Do you see the dog in that guy's shack? Last night, several of us wanted to sell the dog for some money, but we were all driven away by that guy. It almost bit off a brother's leg!
This is strange.
Previously, that wild dog was running around with its tail between its legs, but ever since that guy came, that wild dog actually changed into a different appearance. It was very arrogant all day long. Not only was its tail raised high, but it also only listened to that guy's words as if they were brothers. "
After saying that, the beggar walked to his shack and sat down. He patted the legs of the person in the shack next to him and said, "Hey, brother, someone is looking for you. Do you know him?"
The legs moved, just a little, and then there was no movement again.
And next to the legs, the whimpering sound became louder. Obviously, the beggar's actions had provoked the wild dog.
During this process, whether it was Gong Xueer, Fatty Li, or the three security guards, they all stood still.
Gong Xueer's eyes never left the owner of the legs. She only wanted to confirm whether that person was Minister Chen himself.
Until now, she did not dare to disturb Qian Yan.
What if she recognized the wrong person?
Although Gong Xueer was just an ordinary girl, she also understood that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
If she really recognized the wrong person, wouldn't President Fu be sad again?
But, but what if the person in the beggar's nest was really Minister Chen?
Should she inform President Fu in time?
Even if she wanted to inform him, how could she do it?
The husband of the president of the Tianhong Group was living in a beggar's shack. If this spread out, where would President Fu put his face?
Moreover, she had brought Fatty Li and the other two with her. Could she guarantee that Fatty Li and the other two would keep their mouths shut?
For a time, Gong Xueer fell into deep contradiction and self-blame.
It seemed that the position of the president's assistant was not so easy to be. There were too many things to consider!
However, this position came inexplicably. Even if she lost it tomorrow, it didn't matter. At most, she could start from scratch!
Thinking of this, Gong Xueer brushed aside the loose strands of hair on her temples and walked towards the pair of legs step by step.
