Xie Yan burst into tears while showing her heart to Lang Xiaobai.

"Thank you for everything you said to me, I would never mention it to a second person. Jiang Kai is indeed guilty of stealing my grandfather's will, removing three trees, changing the dividing line, etc. However, he has already died under the gun of a mysterious man who is elusive, and he can be regarded as paying for his sins with his life. I trust that Heaven will forgive and forgive his sins.

"Although you have done some things under Jiang Kai's instructions, you have repented, and God will definitely forgive those who know their mistakes and change their ways."

Xie Yan nodded with tears on her face.

"Jiang Kai is no longer alive, no, he was killed by a demon who came and went without a trace, and that conspirator tried to kill you two sisters. But don't worry, I'll do my best to protect you. ”

"Thank you so much, Mr. Zhou Guoxiong. Well, it's all up to you. ”

Xie Yan knelt on the ground as she spoke, and Lang Xiaobai and Yan Yuese took her hand and asked her to get up.

……

Clerk Lu Meizhong finally squandered the 200,000 yuan.

"Ah, I've finally spent all this dirty money from the wrong way, and it's time for me to leave the South District!"

A few days later, he returned to his hometown, a small village thirty kilometres from the southern district. He bought a small house, which he had painstakingly saved with his hard-earned money. Fifty-six-year-old Lu Meizhong plans to spend her old age in her hometown.

"The source of this money is unknown, and whether you carry it or spend it, you will feel a sense of conscience. For the sake of these 200,000 yuan, I was confused for a while, and I actually did such a stupid thing. Now, I've finally spent it, and I feel a sense of light-heartedness.

"Although this house is small, simple, and not very well furnished, when I think of the fruits of my hard work, I think it is more advanced than a luxurious palace. I'm going to have a sweet and peaceful dream tonight!" Lu Meizhong muttered to herself.

He was a single man, so he had to prepare his own dinner and clean up his bed.

"Ah, it's so reassuring to sleep in this rough bed. No matter how much wealth a person has, even if he has a lot of money, as long as he has it without knowing his conscience, he will never be able to sleep peacefully. I didn't hesitate to spend the 200,000 yuan at all, others may envy me, but I feel like I'm in prison!"

Lu Meizhong thought about it while involuntarily falling asleep.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly felt someone shaking his shoulders. He was so startled that he rolled over and got out of bed, only to see a mysterious man with a flashlight standing in front of him without saying a word.

"You, you, you......"

The cowardly Lu Meizhong's voice trembled violently, and his voice was low and hoarse, so that even he couldn't hear what he said. When the mysterious uninvited guest saw this, he couldn't help but look up and laugh.

"Don't be afraid, Lu Meizhong, I'm Zhou Guoxiong, you don't know me?......"

"Zhou Guoxiong, I haven't heard of it...... I don't recognize ......."

"Your memory is terrible! Lu Meizhong, don't we often drink on the streets of Nanshi? Look at me. ”

The man said, shining his flashlight on his smiling face.

"Oh! It's the last time...... Your name is Zhou Guoxiong?"

"We used to drink in bar after bar so intimately that you can't even remember my name? Don't you even remember the tears that you confessed to me?"

"Please don't mention it, sir, I want to forget it completely."

"Well, I'm not going to say it anymore. There's one more thing I want you to remember, though. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Do you know Mr. Jiang Kai?"

"I know, I often see him in Mr. Yan Junqing's office."

"Have you encountered it anywhere else?"

"Yes, I did."

"Is it when you collect 200,000 yuan?"

Lang Xiaobai asked, and seeing that the other party was silent, Lang Xiaobai continued to ask: "Was he alone at the time?"

"Well, he's alone. But there was a strange man about ten meters away from us, and I couldn't see his face clearly. ”

"So, is he with Mr. Jiang Kai, or is he the one who spies on him?"

"I don't know...... Oh, I remembered. At that time, I admonished, 'There is a person over there,' but Mr. Jiang Kai replied, 'It doesn't matter,' and I think that person must be his accomplice. ”

"What kind of man is it?"

"It was getting late, so I couldn't see his face clearly, except for a glimpse of a swarthy stranger."

"What does it look like?"

"Let me recall. Oh yes, he wears a big hat on his head. ”

"Big hat...... Is it a cowboy hat?"

"Yes, and the hat has a wide brim."

"Anything else?"

"I don't know."

"Did you hear that Mr. Jiang Kai died?"

"Well, I was really taken aback. The day after I received the 200,000 yuan, I went to him again and told him that I had completed the task. I didn't expect him to be murdered that afternoon, and I was shocked to hear the news. ”

"It can't be yours, right?"

"No, no...... How can you be suspicious, sir?"

"Okay, okay, I'm talking about fun, don't take it to heart. Well, good night, Lu Meizhong. You can sleep peacefully from tonight onwards!"

The man finished speaking and left.

Needless to say, this man is Lang Xiaobai. He and Xiao Bin protected the Xie Yan sisters at the manor every day. He then searched the manor, keeping it on guard, so that the mysterious strange man could not get close to the sisters.

Sometimes, when he went out alone, he went to the river in a small boat to hook fish; Sometimes, he would accompany Xie Yan and Juanzi out together, taking a boat across a wooden bridge to a mound or to the valley of three willow trees.

Although he was scouting with all his might, he appeared to be leisurely and idle, and no one understood what he really thought.

Sometimes, he would go to the nearby village to take a walk and chat with the villagers.

Lang Xiaobai was born with a friendly and easy temperament, so it didn't take long for him to get acquainted with the people in the village and get a lot of news from them.

"The surrounding area used to be very peaceful and peaceful, but in the past few years, I don't know why, many unlucky things have happened one after another......

An elderly farmer said:

"I don't know who it is, but I often secretly go to the Xie family's manor to steal family property or gold, silver and jewelry. Alas, the days are so restless now......"

"Security won't be indifferent, will they?"

"That's nature. Despite their all-out efforts to apprehend the perpetrators, no progress has been made. According to rumors, that gangster always wears a big hat on his head when he commits crimes......"

"What? Wearing a big hat?"
