Hearing that the girl was here to expose the underground workshops, Ding Ning was immediately in awe. He had great respect for those reporters who dared to expose the shady business at the risk of their lives.
However, this girl was too arrogant. She openly went around asking about the underground workshops with a camera. Wasn't she afraid that someone would put a sack on her and throw her into the river if it was known?
Shaking his head with a wry smile, he got out of the car and followed her. Since he had met her, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing. After all, this kind of underground workshops was really deceptive. They would do anything to make money. Once they found that someone was targeting them, they would take risks in order to cover up their crimes. It was impossible to make her disappear from the world.
"Why are you following me?"
Zhao Chenxi looked at him with an unkind expression and secretly cursed him. "He is indeed a pervert."
"You're going to do a secret investigation like this? Those who can make shady money are not good people. Besides, if you go around asking about the gluten factory, you will alarm those who have a guilty conscience. It will be strange if you can find it. "
Ding Ning was speechless about this girl's IQ.
Zhao Chenxi's pretty face turned red. This was her first time to do a secret investigation, and she felt it was very exciting. She really didn't think so much.
Although she knew what Ding Ning said was very reasonable, she was still unconvinced and said, "What do you think I should do?"
"Put away the camera and put it in the car first. Just take the mobile phone. It's good to expose the shady business, but first of all, you have to ensure that you can go back alive."
Ding Ning shook his head and was speechless. He had thought that she was an experienced secret investigation veteran, but she turned out to be a hot-blooded and impulsive rookie. Did she really think that secret investigation was so fun? That was something that had to be paid with blood and lives.
Fortunately, he coincidentally followed her today. Otherwise, it was estimated that this day next year would be the anniversary of her death.
"That won't work. How can the mobile phone take a clearer picture than the DSLR?"
Zhao Chenxi hurriedly covered the camera with a look of stubbornness.
Ding Ning suddenly felt very distressed and helplessly supported his forehead with one hand. "Madam, even if you want to take a clearer picture, you have to find the underground workshops first. You have a camera, and they will know what you do without saying anything. Put away the camera first, and inquire about the nearby gluten factory in the name of buying gluten. After you find the place, you can make a decision according to the situation."
"Oh, it sounds quite reasonable. Okay."
Zhao Chenxi thought for a while and felt that what Ding Ning said was quite reasonable. Then, she obediently put the DSLR into the car.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Chenxi held her mobile phone and said casually.
Ding Ning rolled his eyes and said, "You are the one doing the secret investigation, not me. You can go and inquire about it yourself. I won't go."
After that, he turned around and went into the car. Zhao Chenxi was so angry that she kept stamping her feet. "Humph, a coward who has no public morality at all."
Ding Ning closed his eyes to rest and ignored her. Zhao Chenxi snorted and turned to leave. "I don't believe that I can't find the nest."
This girl, she was so stupid, but she still dared to come here secretly. Did she watch too many stupid dramas? Did she really think that she had a luck attribute and could easily find an illegal workshop?
Since those people dared to make this kind of money, there must be a protection network behind them. For the sake of benefits, they would do anything.
Ding Ning looked at her stubborn back and shook his head speechlessly. Although he did not have any ideas about Zhao Chenxi, he could not bear to see such a beautiful girl in the prime of her youth die like this. He contacted Xiaojin in the Sea of Spirit and asked it to come and protect her.
The people of the illegal workshop were definitely not martial arts masters. It was enough to have Xiaojin to deal with these ordinary people. He still needed to continue practicing and seize the time to restore to the peak state.
However, he told Xiaojin not to easily take action unless the girl was in a life-or-death situation. It could be regarded as a lesson for her to let her know that it was not so easy to be a secret reporter. She should be prepared to sacrifice herself at any time. Otherwise, she would not even know how she died.
Everyone had their own way to go. Since she had chosen to be a secret reporter in the future, if she did not see the dark side and cruelty of the society, she would never grow up and treat secret investigation as a game.
Since they were destined to go together, Ding Ning did not mind helping her conveniently. After all, he still appreciated this girl's courage very much.
As time went by, Ding Ning was like a lonely old monk in meditation, immersed in practicing.
After inquiring, Zhao Chenxi finally found a clue. According to several workers who worked in nearby factories, every morning, they would see several small trucks delivering gluten coming from Haitang Village and passing through the industrial park.
Haitang Village was one kilometer to the east of the industrial park. It was not far away and was close to the riverside wharf. Zhao Chenxi wanted to take Ding Ning to go with her, but when she thought of his previous attitude, she suddenly became angry. "I can still do it without you."
Zhao Chenxi walked to Haitang Village in a huff. Fortunately, it was not far from the riverside and the air was relatively moist. Otherwise, the scorching autumn weather could make her skin peel off.
But even so, she, who had always been spoiled, felt dizzy and sweaty because of the sun. Fortunately, she was not so stupid. When she came here, she deliberately changed into a pair of sneakers. Otherwise, according to her usual habits, she would definitely wear high heels.
As soon as she entered Haitang Village, Zhao Chenxi attracted the attention of many old men and old women who were playing cards or enjoying the shade in the woods.
A girl like her, who was wearing a floral dress and had a beautiful appearance and temperament that did not look like a country girl, was still very eye-catching.
A few hooligans even whistled at her, their eyes fixed on her body as if they had grown hooks. They were just short of drooling.
Fortunately, under the watchful eyes of the public, and they were all old people in the village, these punks restrained themselves. Otherwise, before she found the gluten factory, she would have been molested by the hooligans.
Zhao Chenxi felt timid. Looking steadily forward, she walked quickly through the crowd and heard the whispers of the villagers.
"This girl is so beautiful, just like a movie star."
A fat old woman with a stout look sat on a folding stool, waving a cattail leaf fan and exclaiming.
"Yes, she is more beautiful than a movie star. If only she could be the wife of my Gouwa."
A chubby middle-aged woman next to her looked her up and down as if she was choosing a daughter-in-law.
"Humph, how can your Gouwa be worthy of such a beautiful girl? Isn't he spoiling the girl?"
Another short-haired woman curled her lips and said disdainfully. Everyone knew that Gouwa of Wang Mazi's family was a hooligan in the village. Before he graduated from primary school, he had been fooling around with riffraff all day long. Few people in the village liked him.
"Humph, what's wrong with my Gouwa? He is not ugly, and now he has opened a factory and can make a lot of money every month."
The fat woman snorted angrily as if her tail had been stepped on. She also knew that her son did not live up to her expectations, but now he knew what to do, and the money he had saved was almost enough to build a three-story building.
The short-haired woman was the daughter-in-law of the village head, and she couldn't bear to see others doing well. She had always been at odds with her, so she must be jealous of Gouwa's ability to make money and deliberately sabotaged him.
"Opened a factory? Humph, everyone knows that the factory is opened by outsiders, and he is just a nominal factory director. "
The village head's daughter-in-law was very clear about the inside story. At the beginning, Gouwa asked her husband to contract a piece of land to build a factory, so she knew the inside story better than anyone else.
It would be a lie to say that she was not jealous of Gouwa's ability to make money. Outsiders opened a small factory in the name of Gouwa, so how could they avoid the village head? They also had to pay a lot of money to the village committee every month. Unfortunately, it belonged to the village committee, and her husband could not get much.
"What's the name? The factory director is the factory director."
The fat woman said with some guilt. Although Gouwa behaved like a dignified person all day long, he was actually a nominal factory director, but he did not have to work and was only responsible for delivering goods every day.
Zhao Chenxi's heart skipped a beat. She stopped and smiled sweetly at the fat woman. "Hello, auntie, are you Gouwa's mother? I am Gouwa's friend, and I come to find him for something. Do you know where he is now? "
"Ah, I told you that you came to find my Gouwa."
The fat woman stood up and glanced at the village head's daughter-in-law triumphantly. With a bright smile on her face, she took Zhao Chenxi's hand and said enthusiastically, "Gouwa is in the factory. Girl, how do you know my Gouwa? What's the relationship between you two?"
"Uh, auntie, Gouwa and I are friends. I heard that he opened a factory, so I specially came to have a look. Can you tell me where the factory is? I'll go to find him. "
Zhao Chenxi calmly broke away from the fat woman's sweaty hand and lied with a sweet smile on her face.
"You are the lover in the city that Brother Gouwa mentioned, right? You are looking for Brother Gouwa? I'll take you there. "
A little punk with dyed yellow hair immediately came up and said with a lecherous look, secretly envying Gouwa's luck with women.
Gouwa had told them that he had a beautiful girlfriend in the city, and he would take them there one day to have some fun.
"Go away, Erdan, go away. It's none of your business."
As soon as the fat woman saw Erdan's lecherous look, she became furious. She stepped forward to stand in front of Zhao Chenxi and scolded her. She was her future daughter-in-law, and this group of rascals could not take advantage of her.
She turned around, took Zhao Chenxi's hand, and said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you to find Gouwa."
Zhao Chenxi complained in her heart. If Gouwa's mother took her to find Gouwa, wouldn't she be exposed?
But Erdan and others were staring at her covetously, so she did not dare to stay here. She could only let Gouwa's mother take her to walk in the village.
She cursed Ding Ning in her heart. "It's all because of this coward. If he had followed, he would not have fallen into such a passive situation. Humph, a gigolo who lives off a woman is really unreliable."
"Girl, how did you and Gouwa meet?"
"Uh, auntie, I just met him for a few days."
"Just met him for a few days? Hahaha, good, good. I was wondering why he didn't tell me. By the way, what's your name?"
"Well … my name is Ding Ning."
Zhao Chenxi told her a fake name shamelessly.
"Ding Ning, good, this is a good name, much better than Gouwa's name."
Gouwa's mother was so happy that she could not close her mouth. "What do you like to eat? Gouwa is directing the workers in the factory. Go home with Gouwa to eat later, and I will go back to prepare the meal later. "
"No … no, auntie, I have something to do later."
Zhao Chenxi was confused by her enthusiasm, and she could only deal with it hesitantly.
Seeing that she was absent-minded, Gouwa's mother thought that the girl was shy and embarrassed, so she did not take it seriously. Instead, she became more enthusiastic, which made Zhao Chenxi feel overwhelmed.
While answering Gouwa's mother's questions perfunctorily, she was thinking about how to escape. Although she was very disdainful of Ding Ning, what he said made sense. She had to protect herself first.
"Here we are, it's here, Gouwa …"
After walking around the village, a two-story building surrounded by a red brick wall appeared in the south of the village. Gouwa's mother shouted for Gouwa from a distance, but was hurriedly stopped by Zhao Chenxi.
"Auntie, don't shout. I know the place. I will go in and find him myself. I … I want to give him a surprise."
