PDLP Chapter 568 Lin Mansion
Chapter 568 Lin Mansion
"Lin Mansion?" When Jiang Jiyun heard the name, the image of that high-ranking official immediately emerged in his mind.
She couldn't help but feel a little curious, and at the same time she had an urge to go with him, so she tentatively asked, "Brother Zhang, can I go with you?"
Jiang Wenming did not do as she wished. He directly refused and said, "No, your task today is to deal with those pig heads at home."
As he spoke, he pointed to the pig's head in the sack in the corner.
Jiang Jiyun looked in the direction of his finger and saw several huge pig heads in the sack.
She couldn't help but frown and muttered, "Uncle, you are exploiting child labor!"
Jiang Wenming patiently explained to her, "We're all incredibly busy, and you're the one with the least free time right now. If you don't stop, we'll be running out of stock. The pig ears and pig tongues are only for the Lin Mansion. Your brother Ma and the others won't have any to sell this afternoon. Are we going to just leave them hanging around empty-handed? What if someone discovers their identities?"
Although her uncle's tone was a bit harsh, Jiang Jiyun knew in her heart that everyone was working hard for the mission and she really shouldn't just focus on having fun.
Jiang Jiyun was busy all day long.
Apart from the necessary eating, drinking water and going to the toilet, she hardly had a moment's rest.
He just wore a mask and sat there concentrating on burning the rosin, then tore off the cooled rosin to reveal the clean pig's head.
"I'm afraid I'll never wear a peel-off mask again in my life," Jiang Jiyun muttered as he worked non-stop. "This feeling is really giving me a psychological trauma."
At this time, Zhang An had arrived at the gate of Lin Mansion. He was led into the house with a load on his shoulder to look for the housekeeper.
Just as Zhang An was following the guide through the yard, he suddenly heard a cry: "Aunt, my sister is hungry!"
He subconsciously turned his head and saw a little boy running down from the upstairs, shouting this sentence.
The moment Zhang An saw the little boy, his heart was suddenly shocked.
He immediately came to his senses, quickly lowered his head, and continued to follow the leader, not daring to look back again.
Because at that moment, he already understood who the owner of this Lin Mansion was.
Zhang An did not stay in the Lin Mansion for long. After the housekeeper checked the goods and paid the money, he left in a hurry.
When he returned to the small courtyard, he immediately saw Jiang Wenming busy at work. He quickly walked over and whispered in his ear, "Uncle, the owner of the Lin Mansion is actually someone you know!"
When Jiang Wenming heard this, he suddenly stopped what he was doing. He was stirring the pot of stewed vegetables and immediately stopped what he was doing. He turned to look at Zhang An with a puzzled expression and asked, "Someone we know? Who is it?"
Seeing this, Zhang An quickly leaned over to Jiang Wenming's ear and whispered, "That's the family you and Xiaoyun saved in Yu Province! That's the family where the mother cut open her belly and took the baby out herself."
After hearing this, Jiang Wenming was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said in a low voice, "I don't know them. Xiaoyun and her brother know them. As for whether Ma Chao knows them, I'm not sure."
After hearing what Jiang Wenming said, Zhang An's doubts not only did not decrease, but increased instead.
He turned to look at Jiang Jiyun, who was diligently cleaning the pig's head on the other side of the yard. After hesitating for a moment, he asked in a low voice, "Uncle, do you think it's possible that they betrayed Xiaoyun?"
Jiang Wenming was silent for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Logically speaking, that shouldn't happen. After all, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yun saved their family twice! However, just in case, they still can't see Xiao Yun. No one can guarantee that anyone around them won't tell on them."
The reason why Jiang Wenming said this was because he heard Xiaoyun say that they had participated in a battle together and that they were still very loyal. Moreover, it was Xiaoyun who saved them, so he felt that this family should not repay kindness with enmity.
In the evening, in the courtyard of the Lin Mansion, Lin De'an, Yuan Guoliang and his party got out of the car and hurried into the house.
"Uncle Lin, have the braised dishes been delivered?" Lin De'an's voice had already been heard before he entered the house.
"Master, the young man was sent here a long time ago and is in the kitchen now." Uncle Lin heard the voice and hurriedly came out from the inner room to respond.
Lin De'an walked quickly into the living room, sat down on the sofa, and told Uncle Lin, "Bring out the braised dishes and open a bottle of wine. Guoliang and I will start eating first."
It turned out that he smelled the familiar smell of braised food on the guards at home in the morning, so he asked Lin Boduo to buy some back.
"As for braised food, I think the braised food made by Xiaoyun's family is the best. It's hard to find such delicious braised food now." Liu Meng said as he walked into the living room and found an empty seat on the sofa to sit down.
Yuan Guoliang also sat down at the table and said with a smile, "That's right. I heard they are in Yu Province now. That child not only saved our lives, but also saved Brother Lin's little girl. We really owe her too much!"
Liu Meng said to Yuan Guoliang with a look of suspicion, "Brother Yuan, look at the child in the portrait who was being hunted the entire time. Don't you think she looks a lot like Xiaoyun? But if it's Xiaoyun, why is she bald?"
After hearing this, Yuan Guoliang looked down and took out a piece of paper. The child in the portrait did have some similarities with Xiaoyun, but the bald head was indeed a bit puzzling.
Cheng Gong, who was standing nearby, echoed, "Yeah, I had the same thought when I first saw this portrait. This child's facial features are exactly like Xiao Yun's, except for the lack of hair. If we could add hair to the portrait, they would look even more alike."
Liu Meng continued, "But what exactly is going on? Why did the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics block the train station for several days? Could something have gone wrong?"
Cheng Gong frowned and said thoughtfully, "I can't figure it out either. Could her identity be something more than simple? Otherwise, the Central Bureau of Investigation wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to hunt her down. But, what exactly is the connection between this child and Xiao Yun?"
Yuan Guoliang was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "No matter what, we still have to be careful. The people from the Central Bureau of Investigation are not to be trifled with. If this child is really related to Xiaoyun, then we can't let her fall into the hands of the Central Bureau of Investigation."
Lin De'an sighed and said, "Could it be her? The similar portrait, the familiar braised flavor, I think it's him."
"That way I can explain away someone pretending to be my daughter." Yuan Guoliang was found by the police, and only then did he realize that he had a daughter and a younger brother out of nowhere.
"A police officer from the police station came to me today and told me that my daughter was being taken care of by an unreliable uncle. When I thought of the portrait, I immediately became suspicious of the girl." Yuan Guoliang told them affirmatively.
