Chapter 246: Chapter 245 That Photo

"Big Brother, I went to Old Man Tong before I left to develop a photo of Lin Nianhe, and Old Man Tong gave me two. He said she came with this person. Take a look."

Laosan spoke, taking out two photos and handing them to Bai Bo.

As for why he went to develop a photo of Lin Nianhe, Laosan had no desire to divulge that.

Bai Bo, understanding his brother, didn’t ask for a reason and directly took the photos. He scanned the one of Lin Nianhe briefly, but when he saw the other one, his eyebrows slowly furrowed.

After a moment, Bai Bo said, "Why does this look a bit familiar?"

Laosan nodded, almost boastfully adding, "I also think it looks familiar, it’s like I’ve seen him somewhere... I didn’t make anything of it initially and just pocketed it. It was only a couple of days ago after I figured out where Lin Nianhe came from that I remembered who he is."

Bai Bo became a bit anxious and kicked him, "Stop dithering! Spit it out!"

He had a very bad feeling about this, and it made him irritable.

Laosan, having been kicked, regained that knowing look.

He immediately said, "I haven’t found out exactly who this man is, but people from Lan County said that Lin Nianhe was always with a Public Security officer, even had meals together, and that he drove her to the clinic in a jeep recently—military plates from the provincial forces! Many people saw it!"

In that small place, Lan County, a jeep doesn’t come through even once a year, so those who saw it remembered it well, including the license plate number.

"Damn!"

"Why is it that scourge!"

Bai Bo immediately thought of who he was—two years ago, he stealthily spent half a year in anxious fear because his connections warned him about a formidable man from the provincial city military.

His surname is Su, named Su Yuncheng.

A twenty-year-old Lieutenant Colonel, unparalleled nationwide.

Bai Bo remembered a poem, "Ask me not of princely matters, where one’s success piles bones like mountains." The poem was recited by his father-in-law before he had troubles; he mentioned it only once, but Bai Bo always remembered it.

When he first heard Su Yuncheng’s name, that was the line he thought of.

His connections gave him a one-inch photo of Su Yuncheng, which he carefully reviewed countless times, making sure his men remembered this person as well—only one instruction: if you see him, walk away.

He was very cautious all that time, until his connections told him it was okay, Su Yuncheng had retired.

The invisible chains around his neck loosened, and Bai Bo soon forgot about this man, continuing his trade.

He never imagined that two years later, today, he would once again see this man’s photo and hear the words "provincial military area."

The photo from two years ago didn’t differ much from the one in his hands. With the reminder, Bai Bo naturally recognized it.

Eyeing Bai Bo’s pale complexion, Laosan thought for a bit, then still said, "Big Brother, there’s another thing... in that village school of Ten Miles Team, there’s also Company Commander Zhou’s nephew, probably sent there to protect her."

Bai Bo clenched his back teeth, his hands shaking as he held the photo.

Through his teeth, he forced out, "Anything else?"

"No more," Laosan shook his head.

Bai Bo stared at the two photos in his hand, then suddenly laughed.

His laugh was ferocious, his fingers slowly tightening, crumpling the photo in his palm.

"This is a big setup to get me..."

His hands crunching, suddenly, he reached out and grabbed Laosan by the collar, pulling him close.

Head butting against Laosan’s forehead, his eyes bloodshot, staring into Laosan’s eyes, he enunciated every word, "Get Laoer here, let’s first kill this girl as a sacrifice to Major Su."

Laosan nodded repeatedly and hurried off.

By the time he returned with Laoer, Bai Bo’s face had returned to normal. Four or five cigarette butts lay scattered at his feet, with half a cigarette still in his mouth.

Laoer, scratching his head, asked, "Big Brother, we’re doing it to her?"

Bai Bo took the cigarette out, flicking it far away with his index and middle finger. He looked at Laoer, his voice very calm: "You bring fifty able brothers to Lan County, and kidnap both Lin Nianhe and that kid surnamed Zhou."

In the short span of a few minutes, Bai Bo had already calmed down and changed his mind.

Taking Lin Nianhe’s life might satisfy him temporarily, but she’s much more useful alive than dead.

Bai Bo still harbored a bit of hope—if Lin Nianhe was both buying people’s hearts by covering school expenses and digging basements at this time when official families were also poor, how could they afford such a costly show?

He had already figured it out, if Lin Nianhe and Su Yuncheng’s acquaintance was just a coincidence, and no one actually wanted to act against him, he’d seize the opportunity to get the goods in Lin Nianhe’s hands;

If Lin Nianhe and Su Yuncheng were indeed collaborating in a play to finish him, then Lin Nianhe would be the best hostage.

Laoer didn’t question why his elder brother changed his mind, but was a bit worried, "Brother, then you won’t have many people by your side."

Bai Bo waved his hand calmly, "No worries, I won’t be going out these days."

Bai Bo wasn’t concerned about his own safety. He knew that even if this was a trap, they wanted him alive, the connections he held in his hands; as long as they got no news, he wouldn’t die.

Laoer couldn’t wrap his head around it and still advised, "Brother, dealing with a young girl is a small task, I could handle it alone without taking so many people, should keep someone by your side and the sister-in-law."

"Take them all, we’re less familiar with the area there, it’s better to bring more people just in case," Bai Bo waved his hand, "Be neat and discreet, take the noon train today, return overnight after you’re done, ask Old Qian to arrange your train ticket... Oh, and stop by Old Man Tong’s place to get some photos of Lin Nianhe, make sure not to mistake her."

Seeing that he was resolute, Laoer thought it wouldn’t be too big of a problem just to be gone for a day.

Worst case, he could just get a bicycle, finish the job and cycle back during the night.

With this in mind, Laoer didn’t try to dissuade him anymore and left to arrange an introduction letter.

Laosan stayed in the yard and didn’t leave, saying to Bai Bo, "Brother, I’ll stick with you these few days."

Bai Bo looked up at him and spat out, "Get lost, you haven’t been home for so long, go back and accompany our mother."

"The sister-in-law is there to take care of mom, she doesn’t need my worry," Laosan pulled a stool and sat opposite Bai Bo, stubbornly determined, "I’m not leaving, seeing you makes my heart uneasy."

Bai Bo looked at him for a while and then cracked a smile.

He leaned over and heavily patted Laosan’s shoulder, "Good brother, we share our meals and walk through hurdles together."

Laosan, grinning from ear to ear, carefree responded, "No worries, brother, what’s there to fear."

"Right!"

...

In Sun Bo’s office, he had just poured boiling water and made a cup of tea, hadn’t even taken a sip, when the door was pushed open; the brass door handle banged against the wall, and then the door slammed back into its frame.

As soon as it opened and closed, Su Yuncheng had approached Sun Bo’s desk.

Sun Bo looked at him, totally exasperated, "When will you learn some manners? I’m your superior, aren’t I? Who simply barges into their superior’s office like this? This..."

Su Yuncheng didn’t pay any heed to Sun Bo, but with a stern face, picked up the phone on the desk and quickly dialed a number.

Sun Bo: "..."

His authority as a superior had utterly vanished.

"Hello, I am looking for Zhou Xu."

Su Yuncheng’s expression was as calm as still water; after waiting a moment, as soon as he heard a voice from the receiver, he directly said, "There will be fifty of Bai Bo’s people expected on the train from the provincial city to Lan County at four o’clock this afternoon. Get Nianhe to Ten Miles Team immediately and have Feng Wei keep her in the interrogation room."

Zhou Xu on the phone was stunned, "Ah? That soon?"

Su Yuncheng squinted his eyes and retorted, "Soon?"

Indeed, the situation was sudden, and he wouldn’t have known that Bai Bo’s people had obtained fifty train tickets if he hadn’t been monitoring the black market.

But these words shouldn’t be coming from Zhou Xu.

On the other end, Zhou Xu’s heartbeat nearly stopped.

Sure enough, the next second, Su Yuncheng coldly demanded, "What has Nianhe told you?"

Zhou Xu: "..."

How did he always end up with these thankless tasks!
