Unexpected Clues

The last time I brought back the engine, although Yang Caishan took the initiative to ask Yuan Feixing to be his bodyguard. But when Tom came to meet, Yuan Feixing was probing him under the guidance of Song Ren.

As a result, Tom refused to accept the other party's tricks and was forced to step forward by slamming the door.

That mission was quite difficult, and the elite team of the special investigation department was all lost in the factory director's office. Presumably, Song Ren did not have high expectations for that engine, but there happened to be a backlog of tasks that could be used to eliminate Yuan Feipeng, so he easily organized it.

Or it should be said that the person who initiated this task again may be Shen Liansheng, the immediate supervisor of Song Ren. Song Ren just took the opportunity to eliminate Yuan Feipeng, who may threaten his position with Yuan Zhengchu.

In short, Tom not only completed the task, but also left the assassin he had secretly buried in the team outside and brought a lively Yuan Feipeng back to the shelter. Song Ren and Yuan Zhengchu must hold a grudge against Tom, and it's not easy to retaliate openly, but there are plenty of opportunities for them to engage in covert activities.

Tom was quite surprised that Song Ren took so long to take action, and it was still this soft and restrictive means of restricting his freedom. It is likely that he had put in a lot of effort and effort to deal with the thorough investigation of Yuan Feipeng by the senior management of Haiwei Mini Industry before.

Now that he takes action, it should indicate that Song Ren has finally dealt with the trouble brought by Yuan Feipeng and finally freed up his hands to deal with Tom.

Restricting freedom is just the first step, and there must be a set of combination punches later on.

Zhang Guangliang was hindered by Song Ren's orders and could only restrict Tom's freedom. But he was unwilling to let Fan Jie, a metal shaping genius, leave, which led to a decrease in the profits of his metal forging factory.

He hopes Tom can persuade Fan Jie to stay and offer generous terms.

But if Tom had figured this out, it would be even less likely to persuade Fan Jie to stay.

Fan Jie must leave him in order to reduce the risk of being affected by the combination punches behind Song Ren.

So Tom not only refused Zhang Guangliang's request, but also turned around to persuade Fan Jie to leave the metal smelting plant immediately.

Since Song Ren has taken action, Tom's male ant plan also needs to accelerate the process.

Not only does the production plan for male ant armor need to be accelerated, but Tom also wants Fan Jie to make ordinary armor. If there is a conflict between the two parties, armor protection can be considered an additional layer of protection.

Fan Jie continued to work on armor components at home, while Tom took advantage of the evening to hide in the basement behind the abandoned factory building in the dormitory and continue working on armor components for male ants.

Because Tom found that Zhang Guangliang did not completely restrict his movements, he could still leave during the day.

For example, after two days of mandatory accommodation, Ouyang Haotian invited Tom for lunch, and Zhang Guangliang had no restrictions. The only requirement was to come back before evening.

From this point of view, Zhang Guangliang did not even request that he cannot mine the afternoon work, which is very interesting here.

Getting into the car, Ouyang Haotian said mysteriously, "Someone wants to see you... Don't ask who it is, you'll know when you arrive."

So the angry purple electric four wheeled vehicle rushed all the way into Hope Town, passed a few intersections, and arrived at a building.

"This is not the private kitchen we often go to."

"Yeah, for those who don't see anyone, of course they need to change places," Ouyang Haotian sneered with a smirk, showing a certain attitude of watching Tom's show.

Does this make Tom clunk, someone inconvenient to see? He immediately thought of Yang Caishan, and that's right, after all, she was a big star, a big star before the disaster. Now being taken in as a mistress by Yuan Feixing, I naturally try to be as low-key as possible when I come out to see him.

Tom is not good at concealing his inner self, especially Ouyang Haotian, who is familiar with Tom. So when he guessed, Ouyang Haotian immediately burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, I knew you would think of her. Hehe, An Shitou had two moves. He only went out a few days ago and managed to get Yang Daxing. It seems you still need one more ability, which is to pick up girls, haha!"

Tom gave him a white glance, opened the car door, and got off the car. "Lead the way," he said

As more and more survivors are being accommodated in shelters, many people's residences are being uniformly resettled, and previously vacant resettlement buildings are being utilized, leading to an increasing trend towards commercialization. Various commercial facilities such as shops and restaurants have begun to rise, among which is the promotion of Haiwei Mini Industry.

The commercialization development can not only allow survivors to feel the modern atmosphere of civilization before the disaster, but also further weaken the oppressive environment inside the shelter.

Another reason is to expand domestic demand and increase labor force.

More and more factories are opening up in the Haiwei Industrial Zone, and people are continuously renting abandoned land from shelters with contribution tickets, and then purchasing raw materials from shelters to produce daily necessities, snacks, or furniture that people need.

The building that Tom and Ouyang Haotian are entering now is a newly renovated commercial building, and the entire third floor has been opened for a restaurant. According to Ouyang Haotian, this restaurant has just opened and not many people know about it.

Entering the small private room, Tom couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw someone.

Behind him, Ouyang Haotian burst into laughter and said, "I've disappointed you, haha, you're not a big star."

Li Zexin, Tom, Liu Lian, and others escaped from the rental building and entered the supermarket. At that time, the manager of the massage parlor, Cheng Fuhua, and others, along with old customers who happened to come to their place for consumption, included Li Zexin, an out of town businessman.

After hiding in the supermarket, Li Zexin promised a heavy sum of money and asked the people from the club to go to the police station to seek help on their behalf. As a result, the group of people were scattered by mice, leaving only Zhao Yingying trembling in the alley. At that time, Liu Lian's supernatural ability heard Zhao Yingying's shout and begged Tom to go and kill the mouse that was trying to eat Zhao Yingying, which saved her.

Subsequently, they escaped from the supermarket in an electric toy car and hid in a redemption shelter under the pursuit of mutant mice. Before entering, Li Zexin's car overturned. It was Tom who stopped the car and asked them to get in, while he stayed behind to cut the gap.

It can be said that Li Zexin's life was saved by Tom, even though he was with the malicious club security leader Zheng Shiyi before, and they even had an idea for Tom's crystal.

Li Zexin entered the shelter and soon approached Zhang Chengjiang, who was running a black market. However, due to Liu Shanmin's disrespectful remarks towards Zhao Yingying, Tom also had conflicts with Liu Shanmin's boss, Zhang Chengjiang.

Liu Lian and others detest Li Zexin, a "ungrateful" person, after all, they were able to hold on until the rescue of Haiwei Mini Industry came thanks to Tom.

As a result, Li Zexin entered the shelter and did not provide assistance in finding Tom. Instead, he lived a comfortable life.

Tom didn't care, after all, as long as Li Zexin didn't stab him in the back, it was enough. He didn't save Li Zexin in return, just like he saved Liu Lian, Cheng Fuhua, and others. It was purely his original intention.

Due to the conflict between Zhang Chengjiang and Tom, Li Zexin was caught in the middle and found it difficult to handle, so he did not come into contact with Tom again. Last time they moved into the ant colony's dinner party, Li Zexin arrived. Although Liu Lian and others didn't have a good face towards him, Tom still expressed welcome and understanding.

Now, Li Zexin actually invited him to dinner, which naturally surprised Tom.

After Tom came in, Li Zexin solemnly raised a glass of wine and said, "Brother An, I haven't thanked you for saving my life. Li has invited you to have a meal this time to express his life-saving kindness in Jiangxia Village."

Tom smiled and said, "It's nothing. Since you were my companion at the time, saving you was also my obligation."

With a few polite words, Li Zexin invited Tom to sit down. The meal was served and he had two more drinks. Li Zexin got up and walked to the entrance of the private room, opened the door, and cautiously looked around before locking the door and returning to the table.

Tom was attracted by his cautious attitude and didn't know what medicine Li Zexin was selling in his gourd.

"I heard that Brother An, you are inquiring about Ni Peiyun's whereabouts?"

Tom was taken aback for a moment, how did he know? So he turned his head to look at Ouyang Haotian next to him. Ouyang Haotian shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not what I said."

Li Zexin explained with a smile, "It was Gao Disheng who asked Wang Dong to inquire, because Wang Dong is working with me for Zhang Chengjiang. That Ni Peiyun owed Zhang Chengjiang money before and was sent to work as a nanny at Yuan Shao's place. So he thought that there would be information about her from Haiwei Trading. Then Wang Dong found me because he knew he couldn't get these information, only I could. He also knew that I would never... betray An Ge."

Haiwei Trading, on the surface of Zhang Chengjiang's black market, is a small company selling various commodities.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Haotian immediately snorted coldly, "Cut, not necessarily. It's just that the selling price is not high enough."

Li Zexin smiled and didn't care about Ouyang Haotian's derogatory remarks. "The address is old, but she paid off her debt shortly after being fired by Yuan Shao. That's a contribution of 30000 yuan," he said

Ouyang Haotian was surprised when he heard this and said, "Hey, isn't that old woman a gambler? Where did she get that big sum of money to pay off her debt? Did she go to the casino?"

Li Zexin shook his head and said, "I don't know, all I know is that after she paid off the debt and interest, Zhang Chengjiang didn't just let her go and even sent someone to keep an eye on her. But it's strange that on the second day after paying off the debt, this Ni Peiyun disappeared."

"Disappearance? How could it be?" Ouyang Haotian puzzled and said, "Everyone has an ID card. As long as we check the identity consumption registration of various shops and consumption places, we can know her whereabouts."

Li Zexin nodded and said, "At least the people who were monitoring her brother at that time didn't know where she went. She had already paid off her debt, so there was no need for us to entangle. It's just that Zhang Chengjiang felt that her money came from something strange, so he wanted to know through what channels she raised such a large amount of contribution votes in a short two days. Because after Yuan Shao fired her, she cried and approached Zhang Chengjiang, asking him to extend the interest. After all, the interest on such a large debt is not low every day."

Ouyang Haotian couldn't figure it out yet, but Tom took a sip of tea and exclaimed, "And then what?"
