Chapter 1142: Grove

By the time we arrived at the edge of the small town where the goods were stopped, the sky had darkened and it was past eight o'clock in the evening.

"What's wrong?

Should we find a place to rest first, or should we go to the inspection area first? "

Li Yi looked at his watch and said in a deep voice: "I'm already off work at this point. I can't rush this kind of thing. Besides, I'm tired after a long day's journey. Let's rest first. When we have a clear understanding of the general situation, then It’s not too late for us to solve the problem!”

Hearing this, both Qi Rong and Liu Yu nodded. Qi Rong's throat was about to smoke, and the connections he found were limited. In the end, the only hope was to find a friend with good local influence, but work and inspections He has nothing to do with it at all, so he can only help inquire about Grove's family situation.

Hearing that Grove's family was in a small town, Li Yi wanted to inquire, but he was a little hasty. It would be better for Qi Rong to ask his local friends.

It stands to reason that this job is actually very lucrative, so Grove's family situation should be pretty good, but these are just superficial phenomena. He looks glamorous in front of others. Maybe at some point his background will throw him away as a pawn. , all of this is probably in vain.

The three of them came to a local restaurant that was still open, sat down and had a quick bite.

When it was time to pay for the meal, I encountered a problem.

An old man wearing somewhat tattered clothes walked in from the door and was stopped by the waiter in the restaurant.

"Not much business is open today. I don't have any money for you! Leave quickly!"

Li Yi turned around and looked around. This old man was obviously a local from Maozi, but he was holding a quilt in his arms. It looked full of oil stains and was already very dirty. The clothes on his body were also the same, and the beard on his face was also stained. It hasn't been taken care of for a long time.

Her hair has covered most of her face. Now the weather here in Mosk has gradually started to get cooler, and the days will become more and more difficult.

Of course Qi Rong and Liu Yu noticed it and sighed.

"Ever since the disintegration, it has been normal for homeless people to appear. After all, the background here is like this, and there is nothing we can do about it..."

Li Yi saw the old man and whispered: "Just give me some bread, I don't want money!"

Then he sighed and thought about it carefully, this old man should actually be younger than his father, right?

Many people ask, why not go to work and earn money?

Get a job?

What is the difference between such a person and the kind of person who often talks about why not eat minced meat?

As long as you can live like a human being, who wouldn't want to?

Li Yi grabbed some money from his pocket and took it out. Then he packed up the food in front of him and asked the waiter to come over and bring a few lunch boxes. After putting them in, he went to the door and handed these things over. Gave it to the old man at the door.

"Take it."

After the old man took it, he said thank you several times and then left tremblingly.

Li Yi didn't care about other people's eyes, walked back, sat down, rubbed his face, and said: "Eat quickly, go back and take a nap after eating, everyone is very tired." ”

Qi Rong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Can't you give him a little more?"

Hearing this, Li Yi said helplessly: "I have no choice. If you give more and give less, it's the same. Besides, what if you give too much and are targeted by some people?

Wouldn't that be harmful to him?

I just gave him a few days' worth of food. Generally, people who want to rob can't do it, right? "

Hearing this, Liu Yu nodded and said: "This method is correct. In fact, people have a hard time. From our perspective, we can't actually help many people at all. Isn't this what Mosk is like now?

There are so many people, but the key is that the problem is quite serious..."

Li Yi said helplessly: "Why don't we say that our side is better?"

After the meal, a few people just found a hotel and stayed. Qi Rong asked about the inspection all the way. Liu Yu and Li Yi took turns driving. The three of them were already exhausted. One person had a room, and Li Yi fell asleep almost as soon as he lay down.

…

Early the next morning, Li Yi had just finished washing and walked out of the room, and met Liu Yu and Qi Rong. They were discussing going downstairs to eat.

"Yizi, I heard some news about Grove!"

Li Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, grabbed some food and sat down.

"How about it?"

Liu Yu took a sip of coffee, and Qi Rong also swallowed what was in his mouth, and said: "This is roughly what happened. My friend has been away from the town for a while, and he also asked this person for the news about Grove. My friend next to me asked, and I just got some clues.”

"There are three children in the Grove family. The eldest is currently at Moscow University. The second son is studying locally. The youngest daughter was just over a year old. The family's expenses are also a bit tight."

As soon as he heard this, Li Yi clicked his tongue and said, "It seems that we have found an entry point!"

However, Li Yi didn't understand for a while. Since this was the case, why was Grove's income always in a very low range? According to the information they heard, in fact, Grove could only get it in a month at most. Over a thousand dollars, where does this problem come from?

After Qi Rong learned about Li Yi's question, he also said helplessly: "People like them also have their own helplessness. In fact, to make it clear, the money in your hand is not necessarily your own, and the rebates go up layer by layer. , he can have one or two thousand in his hands, but they are all left over from others, who is better off than the other?"

"I guess this time, I took advantage of the opportunity. I heard that someone has seen Grove. At least about 100,000 yuan was moved."

Around 100,000?

Li Yi suddenly clicked his tongue and narrowed his eyes. One hundred thousand is not a small amount. They can take out the money in a while, but if one hundred thousand can't solve the problem, they probably will The problem must be solved in turn...

"We have brought over nearly 50,000 yuan, isn't it a little bit enough?

Can I have someone wire it over? "

Li Yi waved his hand after hearing this and said: "Fifty thousand is enough. You must know that the people we are looking for in this matter are just Grove, not the people above him."

"Looking at it this way, 50,000 yuan is a face-saving measure for him. Otherwise, would he normally be able to get this amount?

The inspection team leader looks good, but that may not mean he is really good..."

Hearing this, Qi Rong and Liu Yu immediately understood, and then Qi Rong narrowed his eyes and said, "What's the matter?

Let's go meet for a while? "

Li Yi nodded and said: "If you know the situation, let's do it as soon as possible. At least find out who is causing trouble for us first. This way we can be on guard, right?"

After the three of them had a simple bite, they headed directly to the inspection station.

The inspection site was just over the highway. It took the three of them more than 20 minutes to drive there. Because Qi Rong had contacted the border defense before, no one stopped him when he entered. Although border defense and inspection are not the same thing, Systematic, but there is still a little bit of face.

Grove couldn't think of it, but when the people on the border guard talked about it, his life was still very sad, so he had no choice but to nod and meet Li Yi and the others.

In the office, after Li Yi and the others entered the room, Qi Rong took the lead and said with a smile: "Mr. Grove, I'm glad to meet you. I've heard that the working atmosphere and environment here are good..."

After a few simple greetings, Grove also said with a smile: "Mr. Qi, you're welcome, your name is very famous. I've heard of it many times in the past few years. Why did you suddenly change careers and start a regular company? "

Qi Rong smiled. If today's matter had not come on behalf of a regular company, but he was still using the identity of a banker, it is estimated that Grover would have just found a reason not to meet. In fact, this guy's mind is also Not much, Qi Rong is a person who eats this bowl of rice all year round, so he can see clearly.
