Chapter 226 Candidates

"I'm going out for a walk."

Inside the room, Lao Pao greeted Ma Yunfei who was calling an old client. After Ma Yunfei nodded, Lao Pao walked out of the room.

"Where are you going? I'll take you for a walk." Seeing that he wanted to leave, Junzi followed him without waiting for him to refuse.

Ma Yunfei glanced at the direction the two men left and didn't pay any attention to them. He continued to contact those old customers, wanting to invite them to come over to discuss things.

After they went out, Junzi saw Lao Pao standing there looking around, so he stepped forward and said enthusiastically, "How about I take you around? I've been here for several years, and I'm familiar with the surroundings."

"Then please take me to familiarize myself with the surrounding environment." Lao Pao, who had just arrived, thought it was a good thing to have someone take him to familiarize himself with the environment, so he did not refuse him.

Hearing Lao Pao say that he was familiar with the environment, Junzi thought he was preparing for an emergency, and immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, I haven't worked in vain all these years."

As he spoke, he looked around and saw that the villagers around him didn't notice them. He moved closer to Lao Pao and whispered, "There is a secret passage in my house leading to the outside. If anything happens, we can evacuate from there."

After saying that, he stood up, patted Lao Pao on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Just put your heart at ease, brother!"

Lao Pao was stunned for a moment. He knew that Junzi had misunderstood what he meant, but this was also a good thing because it let him know the existence of the secret passage.

He didn't show any strangeness, pretending to be relieved, and said with a chuckle: "Then I feel relieved."

"But I still want to take a look. It's better to be safe than sorry. After all, this concerns Mr. Ma's safety, so we can't be careless at all."

When Junzi heard that he was so concerned about the safety of the boss, he immediately gave him a thumbs up and praised him, "Brother, you are indeed a former soldier. You are very alert! I will take you around now so that you can get familiar with the surroundings."

After saying that, he took Lao Pao for a walk in the village and its surroundings.

On the way, he saw Lao Pao writing and drawing in a notebook while walking, and he couldn't help but go over curiously.

Seeing this, Lao Pao did not hide anything and handed over the notebook generously.

After Junzi took it, he found that Lao Pao had drawn a simple map on the notebook, which clearly marked the locations of the houses in the village and various passages.

Looking at the simple map drawn by the old man in his hand, Junzi couldn't help but sigh: "Brother, you are really good at this. I'm curious, where did you serve before?"

After hearing this, Lao Pao paused deliberately, and then said softly: "Wolf Fang..."

Junzi stopped walking when he heard that, raised his head and looked at him in disbelief, exclaiming, "Wolf Fang?"

These people are very familiar with Langya. After all, their Ma family was broken up by Langya.

Junzi never thought that Lao Pao actually came from Langya, and that Ma Yunfei would actually keep him.

Coming back to his senses, Junzi looked at Lao Pao with an ambiguous look in his eyes and asked again: "So what are you doing now..."

Lao Pao knew what he meant, and his acting skills, acquired through years of undercover work, burst out at this moment.

His face instantly turned gloomy, and his eyes revealed hatred and a hint of sadness. He stood there without saying a word.

Just by looking at his expression, Junzi knew that he had touched upon Lao Pao's sore spot, and there must be a story behind it.

He quickly asked, "Are you okay? If you don't want to talk about it, forget it... Shall we continue shopping?"

After a moment, Lao Pao slowly shook his head and said, "It's okay... business is more important, let's continue shopping."

After saying that, he walked forward with a sullen face.

"Wait for me!" Seeing this, Junzi hurriedly followed.

When he returned to his residence, Lao Pao ignored everyone and went straight back to his room.

When Ma Yunfei saw him come back, he was about to say hello, but when he saw that he looked unhappy, he shut his mouth again.

After Lao Pao left, he looked at Xiang Junzi and asked, "What happened to him?"

Junzi scratched his face and said awkwardly: "Maybe I asked something I shouldn't have asked..."

He didn't expect that his casual question would have such a great power. Since he asked the question, Lao Pao has never spoken again and even sped up the speed of drawing the map.

"What did you ask?" Ma Yunfei looked at him curiously.

"I...just asked him why he left Langya, and then he acted like this."

Ma Yunfei nodded in understanding after hearing this. That matter was indeed a thorn in Lao Pao's side. No one else knew about it except himself.

He knew Lao Pao's temper, so after learning the whole story, he did not go up to find Lao Pao. He just waved his hand to tell Junzi not to worry about it and to go about his own business.

Lao Pao returned to the room and locked the door. He quickly took out his notebook and copied the map onto paper again.

Then he wrote the information in code on the back of the transcript, took out a pair of shoes from his bag, and stuffed the information under the insoles.

He has already figured out how to send the information out.

Just as they were getting familiar with the terrain, they met an old man carrying a bamboo basket.

After Junzi's introduction, Lao Pao also learned that the old man was the village chief and also a veteran who had participated in the war.

After learning that the old man was also a veteran party member, Lao Pao also determined that he was the best person to pass on the intelligence.

At noon, Junzi knocked on his door and called him to eat.

After dinner, Lao Pao returned to his room on the second floor, took out the shoes he had prepared, and went out again.

Downstairs, Ma Yunfei saw Lao Pao holding a pair of shoes and trying to go out, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What are you doing...?"

Lao Pao explained: "We still have to stay here for another week. I am afraid that the villagers will get suspicious, so I plan to send it to the village chief."

Before Ma Yunfei could speak, his younger brother questioned, "Why don't you give me money? What's the point of giving me these broken shoes? Could there be something shameful in these shoes?"

As soon as the words fell, the room suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at Lao Pao.

The old man was not panicked at all. He sneered at his younger brother, then handed the shoes to Ma Yunfei and said, "Junzi said that the village chief is an old Red Army soldier..."

Just a few words explained why not to send money.

Ma Yun laughed when he heard this, pushed Lao Pao's hand back, and said, "No need to look, I believe you."

Lao Pao didn't force it. He nodded at him and walked straight out of the house.

It was not until the old man left that Ma Yunfei put away his smile and winked at the younger brother who had just spoken, toward the door.

When the younger brother saw this, he also went out and caught up with Lao Pao.

Lao Pao was not surprised by this. He knew that although Ma Yunfei seemed to trust him on the surface, he was actually always on guard against him behind his back. Otherwise, with his current status in the Ma family, these younger brothers would not treat him like this.

If Ma Yunfei hadn't instructed this, he would never believe it even if he was beaten to death.
