Chapter 170: Being Followed
early morning.
Li Cunxi drove his wife to Beijing University.
Halfway through.
From time to time his eyes glanced at the rearview mirror.
"Why do you keep looking in the rearview mirror? Is there something behind you?"
Bai Xiaoyan turned around and looked back curiously.
It’s time to go to work, and there are basically bicycles on the road. In addition, there are three cars, one is a medium-sized truck from Huanghe, one is a Shanghai brand car, and the other is a white Lada, which belongs to Zhengerba. Express taxis are very common in foreign-related hotels and tourist attractions.
"It's nothing. There are a lot of people on the road. Look around to avoid bumping into people."
Li Cunxi explained with a smile.
In fact, he was looking at the white Lada. When he just exited the alley, he saw the car parked on the side of the road and didn't pay much attention to it.
But when he was taking his daughter to school, the other party appeared not far away again.
He didn't take it too seriously. After all, their house belonged to the printing factory area. If the taxi driver lived here, his children would definitely go to the kindergarten under the printing factory.
But when the jeep headed west.
This white Lada is also around, which is a bit too coincidental.
But this was always his suspicion. The road was not driven by his family, so he could not stop the car and ask them why they followed him.
Wait until you reach a less crowded section of road.
Li Cunxi took advantage of the situation and accelerated. The jeep ran all the way, leaving behind the Lada and sending his wife to Beijing University smoothly. Then he picked up Professor Liu and slowly drove out of Beijing University, only to find that the white Lada had stopped at some point. by the road.
He hesitated for a moment, then changed direction and drove back into the city.
Professor Liu asked doubtfully: "Aren't we going to protect the city?"
"I heard that road bandits are rampant recently, so I plan to bring a friend with me so that if something happens, we can take care of each other."
Li Cunxi explained with a smile.
His words are not alarmist. In the 80s and [-]s, traffic supervision was imperfect, coupled with a series of phenomena such as the widening gap between the rich and the poor after the reform and opening up, resulting in a situation where car thieves and road bullies were rampant.
For example, there once was a village where the entire village was involved in the business of robbing roads. Killing people and stealing goods was even more common. This continued from the 80s to the 90s. In the end, the drivers from neighboring provinces were too afraid to go there. Law enforcement agencies only enforce laws across provinces and arrest and sentence people in the village. As for how many people have been killed in the village over the years, none of the villagers can tell clearly.
"It's still as thoughtful as you think."
Although Professor Liu said this, in his heart he criticized Li Cunxi for being too cautious.
It is true that there are road bandits in the Dragon Kingdom, and most of them are concentrated on remote mountain roads and places.
There is a smooth national highway from Beijing to Baoding. As long as you don't risk your life and take those remote roads, nothing will happen.
10 minute later.
Li Cunxi picked up Wei Dazhuang, and the jeep headed south and left the capital.
We drove about [-] kilometers along the national highway.
Li Cunxi glanced at the rearview mirror. Under the extreme viewing distance of the rearview mirror, he could vaguely see the front of a car, but he couldn't see it clearly.
This crappy Lada car really followed him all the way without thinking about it. It must have bad intentions for being so persistent.
He had no choice but to continue accelerating.
But the Narada car didn't give in too much and held on tight.
The two cars were racing wildly on the national highway.
Professor Liu was so scared that he almost peed, and reminded with a trembling voice: "Xiao Li, we are not in a hurry, please drive slower."
Li Cunxi ignored it and drove for about ten kilometers.
He stepped on the brakes and the jeep came to a slow stop. The national highway not far away was filled with dirt, about half a person high, making it impossible to pass.
A bald man trotted over and knocked on the car window.
Li Cunxi lowered the window.
The bald man quickly glanced inside the car and said with a smile: "Brother, there is construction on the national highway ahead. If you want to go to Baocheng, take that path around. You can also reach Baocheng by walking on a mountain road."
"How did you know I was going to Baocheng?"
Li Cunxi asked back.
The bald man was startled for a moment, then said with a smile: "This is the direction to Baocheng. I thought you were going to Baocheng, didn't you?"
"That's right. I do want to protect the city, but I'm not in a hurry. Since the road is blocked, we'll go back and come back next time."
Li Cunxi turned the car around and drove back.
I just happened to pass by the white Lada.
Inside the Lada.
One of his men hurriedly said: "Brother Ergou, they are back."
"I'm not blind yet."
Chen Ergou stepped on the brakes, got out of the car and grabbed the bald man by the collar: "I told you to lead people to a remote mountain road, how did you scare them away?"
"Brother Dog, you don't blame me for this. I told him that the road was blocked and asked him to take the trail, but he said there was no rush and he should go back first and come back when the road is clear."
Baldhead hurriedly explained.
Chen Ergou let go of his hand and sneered: "You are really cautious, anyway, I actually had a better idea this morning. If you can't snatch it this time, it will be bad luck for his family. Please inform the brothers to go back."
"okay."
The bald man got on his bicycle and headed towards the trail.
"Wait a minute."
Chen Ergou stopped the bald head again and whispered: "Go to that barren mountain village and find an unoccupied house. I want to use it."
"kindness."
The bald man responded and walked into the narrow path.
"Let's go, let's go back and have a drink. We're going to do a big deal tomorrow."
Under Chen Ergou's greeting, everyone got in the car and left.
Li Cunxi drove back for a while and found another road on the map. Although it was a little further, the towns he passed were not too remote. It took him two more hours.
Finally, we arrived at the silk factory before getting off work.
"I said, Xiao Li, you are too cautious. Taking such a long detour almost broke my waist. If I still go around like this when I go back, I will take the train."
Professor Liu couldn't help but complain.
"Then I can't guarantee that if you really want to take the train, I will buy you a ticket."
Li Cunxi chuckled.
"Okay, I'm just nagging you, let's get down to business."
Professor Liu walked towards the office of the silk factory with his hands behind his back.
Li Cunxi followed and asked, "Have you opened all the letters I asked you to open?"
"It's open, it's all in the bag."
Professor Liu patted his handbag.
Li Cunxi stretched out his hand and said, "Give me all the letters. I'll talk about buying silk later."
Professor Liu smiled and said, "Everyone talks about it the same way. With a letter of introduction from Beijing University, why doesn't the director of the factory approve a few rolls of silk for us?"
"To be honest, I actually have some thoughts, but I'm afraid you will scold me if I say it."
Li Cunxi pretended to hesitate to speak.
Professor Liu said: "Xiao Li, please sponsor the drama for me. If you have anything to say, just say it. If you can help me, I will definitely help you."
"Actually, I also want to buy a batch of silk, but this silk is a planned item and priority is given to foreign companies, so I want to use the name of Beijing University to get a batch to the capital."
Li Cunxi expressed his thoughts.
before coming.
He asked Professor Liu to write two letters of introduction. The first one asked Professor Liu to ask a silk factory master to help him weave moiré cheongsam using traditional satin weaving techniques in the name of research on cheongsam culture.
The second letter was to purchase a batch of silk in the name of the Peking University Drama Club. As for what to do, he deliberately told Professor Liu not to specify it in order to give him room to develop.
