The first heavy rain after autumn arrived in Hechuan City without any warning.
Outside the gatehouse of the Industrial Road Police Station in the Riverside District, a little girl peeked her head out, looking for Liu Ke Dou.
The gatekeeper made a phone call and, after a thorough inquiry, let her in.
"Achoo!" In Liu Ke Dou's office, Su Tang wiped her hair with a towel and said to Liu Ke Dou, who was searching everywhere for a clean disposable cup, "Uncle Liu, don't be so busy, I just came to ask you something."
"Can't you just call if there's something?" Liu Ke Dou, unable to find a disposable cup, awkwardly took out a can of Coke that had been sitting for who knows how long and said, "That's not right, aren't you back in school? Why are you here?"
"Alas, it's still that troublesome incident from the summer vacation, when I was bullied by hooligans at Jiaozi's house. Now that school has started, the school wants me to fill out a document truthfully. Oh, they said it's to implement the city's spirit of student holiday safety something something document, and they want to use my experience as a case study..."
"Oh, I know about this. The government departments are taking holiday safety very seriously now. Schools where students have had incidents have to be registered and hold warning education meetings? I've attended a few myself," Liu Ke Dou said. "However, these matters are usually handled by the school or the education bureau through the city bureau and district bureau, and finally they contact us. Why did your school send you, a little girl?"
"Uncle, you just said it's the city bureau, the district bureau, and then the city bureau and district bureau. It's too troublesome for our school to go through all that. Since my cheap adoptive grandfather is in the bureau, it's naturally convenient for family to handle things," Su Tang said, blinking her big eyes, her spirit soaring. "I told my grandfather, and he said it's no big deal, and asked my godfather to contact them. My godfather said that Director Liu is also family, and I know him, so he sent me here himself."
Thinking of Gao Xiaofei's usual lazy demeanor, Liu Ke Dou completely understood the truth behind this "unfathomable" matter.
"Okay, how can I help you? Fill out forms or something?" Liu Ke Dou moved a stool and sat opposite Su Tang.
Just then, the office door was suddenly opened.
"Director Liu, Old Hua Tou from Fengdian Community has stolen a manhole cover again!" a police officer said with a wry smile.
"Then you guys just go and deal with it," Liu Ke Dou said to Su Tang with an embarrassed smile.
"The key is that he beat up the community security guards this time," the police officer said helplessly.
"Uncle Liu, you go ahead and deal with it. I'll fill out the materials myself. Just have an internal affairs officer brief me on the case materials and situation," Su Tang said quickly.
Seeing Su Tang's thoughtfulness, Liu Ke Dou stood up with a sense of guilt and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this is the reality at the grassroots level. How about this, I'll arrange for the internal affairs officer, Little Zhang, to help you."
"Okay, Uncle, hurry up and go," Su Tang said obediently.
The internal affairs officer of the police station, Xiao Zhang, was a prospective college student who had just graduated from the police academy. Upon receiving Director Liu's order, he quickly found the relevant materials and delivered them to her with great enthusiasm.
"Classmate Su, that case involved too much money. After we handled it, it was transferred to the criminal investigation team. Here are the interrogation records from that time," Xiao Zhang said. "You can look at them first, and I'll ask the criminal investigation team about how it was handled later."
"Okay, thank you, brother," the well-behaved Su Tang replied with a smile.
She was finally alone in the office. She took out her notebook from her bag and opened the file.
The scar on her face from that encounter with the hooligans at Jiaozi's house had not even healed properly yet.
"You four hooligans, you have no idea of my abilities, Grandma!" Su Tang gritted her teeth and thought.
It turned out that those four hooligans were from Gaojia Village, Gaojia Town, Riverside District, Hechuan City, and their names were Gao Jiahao, Gao Jialiang, Gao Xiaoshu, and Gao Yijun.
"Are Gao Jiahao and Gao Jialiang cousins?"
"Is their uncle the security captain of Fengdian Company? No wonder they hang around in that area."
"Bar security guard? Monk? Right, right, the name the Master mentioned, Monk!"
"Their criminal record is so thick, how is it all about assault?"
"Extortion? No. 4 Middle School? My school, Jiang Tiantian? Jiang Tiantian is from our neighboring class?"
A pile of materials, Su Tang read them very seriously.
"Classmate Xiao Su, how is it? Is it helpful?" Internal affairs officer Xiao Zhang knocked on the door and came in.
"It's almost done," Su Tang said. "I wonder how many years those four hooligans were sentenced to later?"
"Sentenced? Oh, there was no sentence," Xiao Zhang said. "I just asked the criminal investigation team. They all surrendered themselves, which was considered voluntary termination of the crime. The Liao family didn't pursue the matter deeply, didn't sue them in court, but negotiated."
"What? Negotiated? They took away five hundred thousand yuan?" Su Tang said incredulously.
"But they didn't take the money away. They left it on the trash can outside Jiaozi's house. I remember they said at the time that the money was too much, and they would definitely go to jail if they were caught. They just came to play a prank, oh right, they said it was a prank, so they didn't take the money," Xiao Zhang said. "In the end, the case was sent back to another police station, and they were administratively detained for fifteen days for disturbing public order and causing trouble..."
"Damn!" Su Tang uttered a rare curse.
In a fast-food restaurant on Qingnian Avenue in the southeast area of Hechuan City, Su Tang was leaning on the table, using the "deductive method" to draw out the characters she knew, and finally drew a big question mark under Jiaozi's name in the middle.
"Hello, here is your small bowl of braised pork stir-fried noodles and two skewers of grilled squid," the waiter interrupted her thoughts with a plate.
"Okay, just put it down." It was past lunchtime, and Su Tang was already starving. Looking at the food, she couldn't care less.
"Big brother, this is the money for the meal. Let me ask you something! Oh, I don't need the change," Su Tang said after eating her fill, calling the waiter over.
"Little beauty, tell me, as long as I know, I'll definitely tell you." The waiter hadn't seen such a generous customer for less than twenty yuan in food cost, and the customer gave a fifty-yuan bill.
"Monk, have you heard of him? Do you know where his shop is on this street?" Su Tang asked.
"You're talking about Brother Monk? Oh, his shop is right across the street. Look, the sign says 'Bu Bai' which is his," the waiter said kindly, looking at Su Tang. "Little beauty, Monk isn't a good person. He has a monopoly on the drinks and disposable tableware on this street. He's a social person, why are you looking for him?"
"We're from the same hometown. By generation, I'm his great-grandmother!" Su Tang wasn't afraid of that at all, and said fiercely through gritted teeth.
Nightclubs are usually not open during the day, but today "Bu Bai" was packed with all sorts of cars parked outside. Groups of people were gathered on both sides of the entrance. Seeing Su Tang walking this way, they even whistled like hooligans.
"Sister, you're too early. We're not open during the day. Go back!" A bearded man who looked like a "bouncer" in a crowd stopped Su Tang politely.
"I'm not here to play, I'm here to find someone," Su Tang said, straightening her back indignantly.
"You're looking for me, aren't you!"
"Bullshit, you're here to find your lover!"
"Then it's me, I'm the lover, and I'm getting married tonight!"
From the crowd next to them, there was a string of vulgar jeers.
"Who are you looking for?" the bearded man smiled and asked casually.
"Let Monk come out, I have something to talk to him about!" Su Tang looked at the group of ill-intentioned people and decided that if they didn't want her to come in, they should let Monk come out himself.
"Who are you? Is the name of our boss something you can just shout out?" The bearded man sized up Su Tang, looking somewhat displeased.
"I'm his relative. Oh, just tell him his great-grandmother is here, and ask him to come out and see me," Su Tang said imperiously.
"Great-grandmother? Isn't the boss an orphan?" The bearded man turned to ask a subordinate behind him.
"Just go if I tell you to, he'll know when he comes out," Su Tang said impatiently.
"The boss is busy with business today and it's really inconvenient. Why don't you come back in two hours? I won't stop you," the bearded man, unsure, began to fob Su Tang off.
Two hours? That wouldn't do. The case still needed to be followed up, and Su Tang had no patience for that.
"If you don't let him out, then let me go in and find him!" Su Tang was determined to go in.
"You this person..." The bearded man, seeing that Su Tang was neither soft nor hard, didn't know what to do, and was a bit at a loss.
"Come, sister, brother will take you in," a "buck-toothed" man with dyed red hair leered at Su Tang from the crowd.
"Okay!" Su Tang casually agreed, seeing that someone was willing to take her in.
"Girl, I don't care who you are or why you're here, but leave now." The bearded man glanced at the "buck-toothed" man and reached out to stop Su Tang. It could be seen that this guy was quite decent.
"Then go and report it!" Su Tang was determined to see Monk today and ignored his kindness.
"Fine! It's my fault for being too talkative, Da Gui. Go ahead!" The big monk, seeing that Su Tang didn't appreciate his good intentions, didn't stop her and let her pass.
Seeing Su Tang really walking over, the "buck-toothed" man was ecstatic. He stepped forward to embrace Su Tang, but she dodged his grasp.
"If you want to come in, you have to let brother kiss you first, how about it?" The "buck-toothed" man didn't get angry and continued to tease Su Tang.
Su Tang didn't take it seriously. In fact, she never intended to go in with the "buck-toothed" man. She just wanted to use this opportunity to get close to the entrance, and then—
Su Tang suddenly exerted force under her feet, unnoticed by the people at the door, and ran into the nightclub.
"Quick, quick! Stop that girl!"
Su Tang successfully rushed into the nightclub lobby, and the angry shouts of several big men could be heard from behind her.
The nightclub lobby was dark, with no lights on. Only in a far corner, a sliver of light spilled out.
Su Tang didn't have time to judge. She ran quickly towards the light, shouting, "Monk! Come out! Monk!"
Behind the corner was a leather-covered conference room door. Su Tang ran all the way to here, and without thinking, opened the conference room door and rushed in.
"Monk! Come out!" After entering the room, Su Tang's mouth was still busy, continuing to call out the name of the nightclub owner. But when she saw the scene before her clearly, she was instantly stunned.
It turned out to be a large suite. Inside the room, two groups of people seemed to be negotiating.
"Monk, is that your girl?" Sitting in front of the group on the left was a hooligan named Wang Jue. He had just grasped Monk's weakness and was about to forcefully snatch the napkin business away when Su Tang rushed in...
Hearing Wang Jue say this, Monk didn't speak, but turned around and looked angrily at who was causing trouble.
"Monk, it's me! Have you forgotten?" Among the two groups of people, Su Tang recognized Monk at once and quickly took a few steps forward.
At this moment, the people behind Su Tang also caught up. Several big men were about to pounce on Su Tang.
"Wait!" Monk suddenly shouted, startling Su Tang's pursuers and Wang Jue, who was sitting opposite.
After stopping everyone, Monk stood up and quickly walked in front of Su Tang.
"How come you're here? And all alone? You didn't even let us know in advance," Monk said, narrowing his eyes, his fat face beaming, and bowing respectfully to Su Tang.
"Oh, I came to see you about something, my Master didn't come." Seeing Monk's demeanor, Su Tang finally felt a sense of relief.
Thank you, Master! You've allowed your disciple to borrow your prestige!
"What the hell, could she really be the boss's great-grandmother?"
"Impossible, right?"
"Quickly tell Buck-tooth to run, lest he get his arm broken by the boss later."
A gasp of surprise came from the crowd.
"You all go down. This is a distinguished guest!" Monk waved his hand, dismissing his subordinates, and then solicitously called a waiter over and said, "Go, get a glass of juice for our distinguished guest."
The original negotiation suddenly changed, which made Wang Jue, who was sitting on the side, very angry.
"Monk, what do you mean?" Wang Jue said boldly. "Looking at your cowardly appearance, are you doting on your new girlfriend like a goddaughter, or are you sleeping with your goddaughter? Hahaha!"
"Shut up, Wang Jue. I have a distinguished guest today, we'll talk later!" Monk didn't argue with Wang Jue and planned to send him away.
"You want them to come when you call, and leave when you tell them to?" Wang Jue said, "Ever since Sixth Brother left, you've been getting worse every day, you know? The catering for thousands of people at the construction site next to Huajie is now monopolized by me, and my subordinates have money to earn every day! Of course, don't blame me for taking advantage of your misfortune. Which vegetable seller, rice seller, meat seller, or egg seller nearby dares to sell you things at wholesale prices without my say-so? Without ingredients, how long can your newly opened restaurant last?"
"Wang Jue, one should be more honest!" Monk said. "Last year, after Sixth Brother left, I followed the wishes of the brothers and split the beverage business. We agreed then that I would handle the paper, wet wipes, and tableware for the catering. Now that you have a big business, are you still coveting this little thing of mine?"
"Monk, times have changed. We people have successfully transformed into businessmen. Business is business. I know I can't beat you, but I have more money and strength than you. You have to admit it!" Wang Jue suddenly picked up the wine glass on the table and smashed it hard on the ground, saying with red eyes, "Are you going to give up the napkin business or not?"
"The napkin business is for the old brothers who went through thick and thin with Sixth Brother. They don't have much earning capacity, and they put their life savings into opening a small factory, making a meager processing fee to support their families," Monk said. "That business was never mine. If you want to take it by force, you're trying to smash the bowls of those old brothers. Wang Jue, aren't you afraid they'll fight you to the death?"
"Trying to scare me? I'm a law-abiding citizen. My boxed meal business alone makes a profit of 300,000 yuan a day, with over 20,000 boxes! With such a large scale, feeding a few disabled people is nothing. You let them come, and I'll throw a stack of cash at each of them, so much that they won't dare to make a move, do you believe me!" Wang Jue was extremely arrogant, even standing on a stool to speak.

"Wang Jue, don't go too far. Back then, when the brothers were making a name for themselves in Hechuan, you were still a little brother begging people to call you 'brother'. Over the years, the brothers have taken care of you a lot. You should have some loyalty!" Monk was genuinely moved, and tears were almost welling up.
After drinking more than half a glass of juice and catching her breath, Su Tang finally understood the content of the negotiation between the two groups. Thinking that she would need Monk's help later, Su Tang made a decision.
"Uncle Monk!" Su Tang suddenly spoke up, stopping Monk.
"Can you make boxed meals here? If you can, then give him the napkin business. Even as an outsider, I know that stuff doesn't make much profit," Su Tang said loudly to Monk, not hiding it from Wang Jue at all.
"Yes! There are a few old brothers who learned cooking in prison and have certificates. They also got health certificates to find jobs after they were released from prison..." Monk was a little confused why Su Tang asked him this.
"Okay, it's decided. Give him the napkin business," Su Tang said without hesitation.
"Oh, my, such big talk. Who do you think you are, trying to compete with me for the boxed meal business!" Wang Jue was amused to see a little girl trying to poach his business right in front of him.
"I'm stupid and don't quite understand what you mean," Monk was also stunned, looking at Su Tang and asking cautiously, "Is there something you came here for today?"
Su Tang ignored Monk and Wang Jue, rolled her eyes at them, took out her phone, and made a call.
The construction site Wang Jue mentioned happened to be an investment by the An family. A few months ago, An Jing had taken Su Tang with her to visit it with her grandmother. She remembered that the project manager of the construction site was also from her hometown. At that time, the other party, wanting to curry favor, had insisted on exchanging phone numbers with her. Now it seemed useful.

"Hometown folks? Oh, I forget what your name is," Su Tang said as soon as she opened her mouth on the phone, almost making everyone present burst into laughter.
"Oh, hello, hello. Do you know who I am?" How could the person on the other end of the phone not know who Su Tang was?
"It's like this, my aunt is traveling. Oh, yes, yes, let me speak first, okay?" The flattery from the other end of the phone gave Su Tang a headache.
"The matter is very simple. The boxed meals used at your construction site will be supplied by someone called Monk starting today." Su Tang glanced at Monk and said, "I'll have him call you later."
"That's all, nothing else." Su Tang glanced at Wang Jue again and said, "Do you know someone called Wang Jue? Oh, I'm just asking, he was teasing me."
"Oh dear, no need, no need. It's a society governed by law now, I wouldn't dare to fight and kill. Yes, yes, it's good that you don't know each other. I was thinking, if he were your friend, I would be willing to endure it. It's okay." Su Tang stared at Wang Jue with a hint of malice and said aggrievedly, "Don't say that, I didn't take it seriously, and I won't tell my aunt and grandmother. Hehehe, okay, that's it. I'll have Monk contact you later."
After the call, there were at least fifty people in the private room, but not a single person dared to speak.
"Uncle Monk, remember this number. I don't know his name, but he's the person in charge of the construction site in front. He has thousands of people to feed. I've arranged it for you. Prepare quickly, and try to deliver it tomorrow." Su Tang tore a piece of paper from her notebook, wrote down a number, and handed it to the bewildered Monk.
"Don't be too polite with that person. Just say I told them to pay for a month's worth of food based on the number of people," Su Tang said lightly. "Your old brothers will have work to do now, so where will they have time to deal with napkins!"
"This matter of yours, this, this..." Monk was still in a daze.
Qq 563743675
Just then, a mobile phone ringtone suddenly echoed in the room.
"Hello! President Su, you command!" Wang Jue asked with extreme caution and gentleness to the person on the other end of the phone.
"Did I hear that right, President Su? Didn't we have a good arrangement? Is the dividend for you too little? Hey, hey, brother, why are you saying no? You're my biological father! My big kitchen was financed by loans, I can't cut it off! Grandpa! Ancestor!" Wang Jue's business was getting more and more desperate...
"Grandma, who are you? I didn't provoke you!" The situation changed instantly. After hanging up the phone, Wang Jue ran to Su Tang with a crying voice.
"This is the eldest disciple of Ping An reporter, and the third generation of the An family," Monk finally saw the current situation clearly, his hands trembling, and he forcefully suppressed his excitement, standing behind Su Tang and playing the role of a bodyguard.
"Grandma, please spare me. I don't want the business anymore. I can't afford to offend the more than a thousand workers under President Su, especially the security team. I'm not human, I shouldn't have teased you, I was wrong." Wang Jue was probably regretting it to the core.
"I don't care. You can say whatever you want to Uncle Monk. If he forgives you, then so be it." Su Tang didn't want to deal with such a person and pushed the matter to Monk.
"Brother Monk, I was wrong." Wang Jue was also a man who could bend and stretch. He suddenly knelt before Monk in front of everyone.
"You caused trouble last year, and then you were defeated. It was our old brothers who, putting aside past grievances, shared the boxed meal business with you. If you have the ability, you've made the business bigger, that's your capability, we have nothing to say, and we're not envious of you, but you shouldn't have undermined the foundation and broken the rules," Monk began to lecture. "Do you lack the money for napkins? You don't. You just want to climb over us. You've lost your mind!"
"Brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I have nothing now and am willing to start over with you. Please say something, and don't let those guys from the construction site beat me up." Wang Jue was crying on the ground like a newborn. This made Monk a bit unsure. In fact, they were all people who had been in society before, and now that they were not doing bad deeds, they were banding together for warmth, and no one wanted to push the other to death. Wang Jue's earlier mention of "smashing money" was also a veiled indication that he was willing to provide for the old brothers, which could be considered loyalty.

"Miss Su, what do you think?" Monk thought for a moment and finally asked Su Tang for her opinion.
