"Will we go back now when we refuel?" The two cars drove out, first to the nearest gas station to refuel, Hu Jianqiang rubbed the body of his car and asked Hu Mingchen.

"Third uncle, why are you forgetful, we are not just here to buy a car, if we only buy a car, we won't call you. ”

"Oh, hehe, then where do we go with gas?" Hu Jianqiang asked with a self-deprecating smile.

"Go to the city center to find a hotel with parking lot and stay first, and then I'll take you to eat cold noodles and dumplings. Hu Mingchen said.

"Didn't you say that if you look at the investment project, why do you eat two dumplings?" Hu Jianqiang was puzzled.

"Hehe, you'll know when the time comes. After a while, we will go ahead, and the third uncle, you will drive behind and follow. Hu Mingchen made a detour and didn't solve the mystery for him first.

These two cars don't look big, but the fuel tank is very good, and Hu Jianqiang's YJ is loaded with more than 60 liters of gasoline.

After filling up the gas, under the guidance of Hu Mingchen, the two Wranglers drove to the city center one after the other, and finally stopped at the door of a hotel called New Butterfly next to the Qingyue community.

This hotel is not luxurious, it looks like a three-star star on the outside, there is no underground garage, but there is a parking lot in front of him that can park a dozen cars.

Hearing that Hu Mingchen was a guest who was going to stay at them, the security guard put their two cars in.

Two hundred and fifty yuan for a standard room, Hu Mingchen and the others opened the room and rested for a while, and the three of them went to the grandma jelly shop that Song Qian took Hu Mingchen to patronize last time under the leadership of Hu Mingchen.

"You took us around this alley, just to eat this cold powder?" Hu Mingchen asked with a frown as he looked at the old houses and simple shops around him.

"Third uncle, don't underestimate it, authentic delicacies are often not in palatial places, just on the side of the road and in this kind of back streets, don't you see that people's business is very good?"

At this time, it is already evening, and the brilliant color of the sky hangs overhead, and it stands to reason that the business of this snack bar will fade at dinner time, and everyone will either go home or find a place to eat.

However, the business of Grandma's jelly shop has not declined too significantly, although there is no queue at the door, but several tables inside are full.

Hu Mingchen and they stood at the door for a while, watching the four guests at a table finish paying the bill, and Hu Mingchen hurriedly rushed in to occupy the position.

Hu Mingchen ordered three bowls of cold noodles, three bowls of rice balls, one bowl of osmanthus and two bowls of sesame.

"Well, the taste is a little off, but the taste is really good, there is a taste that I ate many years ago. After eating a few bites, Hu Jianqiang nodded approvingly.

"I won't bring you here if it doesn't taste good, if it's enough, if it's not enough, I'll order it again." Hu Mingchen said.

"I'm almost. Hu Jianqiang said.

"I'm pretty much the same, I don't usually like to eat glutinous rice balls. Fang Guoping said.

"If you don't like to eat glutinous rice balls, then eat rolled noodles. After speaking, Hu Mingchen beckoned to the door: "Grandma, please come three more bowls of roll noodles." ”

"Excuse me, young man, but there are only two bowls of rolled noodles, can I make two bowls for you?" replied the grandmother in a puff of heart.

"Okay, two bowls are just two bowls, then I'll trouble your old man. Hu Mingchen nodded and responded politely.

"Don't bother, you take care of my family's business, what's the trouble, you wait a minute, it's okay right away." The old grandmother smiled kindly.

Two minutes later, the old woman came over with two bowls of rolled noodles.

"Grandma, excuse me. After Hu Mingchen took the initiative to take the two bowls of rolled noodles, when the old grandmother was about to turn around, Hu Mingchen stopped her.

"Hmm, what's the matter, young man?" the old woman stared at Hu Mingchen with a puzzled expression.

"I want to inquire about someone. ”

"Who are you asking, I don't know if I recognize it. ”

Hu Jianqiang and Fang Guoping are not eating now, and both of them are staring at Hu Mingchen, not knowing who he is inquiring about. And they also realized that Hu Mingchen did not come here to eat rice balls and cold noodles, but had other more important purposes.

"Hehe, you know each other, you call him the second brother, and there is a third brother and an old grandmother named Osmanthus. They often come to you for food, and they also like to play a little mahjong. Hu Mingchen said with a smile.

Hu Mingchen didn't know what people were called, so he could only describe the scene he heard last time to her old man.

"Oh, you're going to ask Second Brother Xiong, ...... Who is he? Is there anything to do with him?" Although the old grandmother was enthusiastic, he did not answer everything Hu Mingchen asked, and he was somewhat cautious.

"Well, that's the case, we heard that he wanted to sell the house, so we asked him how he planned to sell it, and the introducer only said that he lived in this alley, and didn't say the specific house, so I asked your old man about it. Hu Mingchen had already thought of what to say, so he reacted immediately.

Hu Mingchen didn't say too false things to deceive people, this grandma and that second brother Xiong are familiar, otherwise once people know that Hu Mingchen is talking nonsense and deceiving people, it will not be conducive to dealing with people in the future and lose a sense of trust.

"Oh, that's it, there's such a thing, there's such a thing, his family lives not far from the front, you go out and turn left in a while, the fourth house, there is a small stone lion at the door, and the door god is pasted on the door, that is the second brother Xiong's house. Grandma gestured with her finger outside.

"Thank you, thank you, old man, then we'll go and set him up after eating. Hu Mingchen thanked him.

"Oh, then if you want to go, go as soon as you finish eating, after dark, he may not be at home, he likes to play a little mahjong, he may go to someone else to play mahjong. The old grandmother reminded.

"Okay, okay, we'll go right away, Grandma, thank you. ”

"Xiao Chen, it turns out that you came to Zhennan just to buy a house?" As soon as the old grandmother left, Hu Jianqiang came over and asked him.

"yes, that's more important than buying a car. Hu Mingchen nodded, scooped two rice balls with a spoon and put them in his mouth.

"But didn't you say that it was an investment? It became a house, and it was an old house like this, which was about to collapse. Hu Jianqiang still felt confused.

"This is investment, because it is an old house, it is an investment, if it is a new building, I am not interested, what does it mean." Hu Mingchen said as a matter of course.

Despite Hu Mingchen's words, Hu Jianqiang and Fang Guoping still couldn't understand how this could be regarded as an investment. Moreover, their loan is 100 million, even if they buy a house, the gap is not ordinarily big, and the money can be repaid with this investment?

Hu Mingchen sighed and snorted three or two times to pull the food in the bowl, got up and paid the money, and walked in the direction where the second brother Xiong's house was introduced by the old grandmother.

After walking more than ten meters to the left, I did see a stone lion more than one foot high at the door of a house, and two mighty door gods were pasted on the black wooden door.

"This is it. With that, Hu Mingchen stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door three times.

No echo was heard inside, and there was no movement. Hu Mingchen couldn't help but knock three times, but it was still quiet.

"I'm afraid I didn't go to play mahjong at home, right?" Hu Jianqiang said.

"It's not dark yet, why did you go to play mahjong so early. Hu Mingchen himself suspected that this was the answer, just now the old grandmother said that the second brother Xiong might not be at home.

"Who knows, so what now? We don't know where he went to play mahjong, otherwise we could have gone to find him. Hu Jianqiang said.

"Forget it, then we'll take a stroll around this alley and come back later. After speaking, Hu Mingchen slapped the door again, and then turned around to leave.

Hu Mingchen's slap was very strong, anyway, there was no one at home, his slap was not to knock out people, it was just a vent.

However, Hu Mingchen's slap was a little stronger, and as soon as he turned around, the door creaked open.

Hu Mingchen turned his head to look, he thought he was recognized as being pulled from the inside, but he didn't see anyone, it turned out that the door was just pulled over and hidden, and it was not cocked. Hu Mingchen's hard slap was equivalent to pushing the door open.

"Hey, no, it's not closed. Hu Jianqiang said

"If the door isn't closed, then there's probably someone at home, so let's go in and take a look. Hu Mingchen nodded, and pushed the two doors completely open with both hands: "Excuse me, is anyone at home?"

Hu Mingchen asked and went into the small patio, but no one answered him.

Hu Jianqiang and Fang Guoping followed in, they looked around, and they really didn't see anyone.

"There's still no one, what should I do? Why don't you look around?" Fang Guoping asked.

"That's not good, we're breaking into someone's house without permission, and if we're running around, what if we're being treated as a thief? Shout twice and ask, if there's no one, forget it. Hu Jianqiang stopped.

"Well, it's true, it's not okay to wander around in other people's homes, it's easy to cause misunderstandings. Hu Mingchen nodded and raised his voice: "Excuse me, is anyone there? Is there anyone at home?"

Except for the faint echo of himself, there was still no movement.

"Let's go, let's close the door for others, I guess we didn't close the door when we went out. Hu Mingchen waited for two or three seconds, but did not see a reaction.

As soon as the three of them exited the door, Hu Mingchen reached out to pull the door and was about to close it, when he heard a faint sound of knocking on the floor from the upper floor of the house.

Hu Mingchen froze at that time, pricking up his ears and planning to listen to it again, but the voice was gone.

"Xiao Chen, let's go, what are you doing?" Hu Jianqiang urged.

"I just heard a voice from upstairs. ”

"What's the sound, I shouted so much just now, and I didn't see anyone come out. ”

"No, I heard it, you wait for me, I'll go upstairs and have a look alone. Saying that, Hu Mingchen walked in again.

Fang Guoping glanced at Hu Jianqiang, and hurriedly followed.

They cautiously went up the stairs to the attic at the edge of the wing, and when they opened the open door, they saw an old man lying on the ground, bleeding from his forehead.
