I nodded, "Alright, I'll go out tonight."
Yuan Bufei asked, "Sir, should I notify Thirteen?"
I shook my head, "No need. She talks too much; it's easy for her to let something slip."
At night, Yuan Bufei quietly took me out through the back door of the hospital and then dropped me off near Hu Zhengjia's house.
Yuan Bufei asked, "Sir, do you want me to send a few people to protect you?"
I shook my head, "Having too many people around would make it easier to expose us. You can go back! I'll contact you if there's anything."
Yuan Bufei agreed and left with his men.
I found a place to hide and kept an eye on Hu Zhengjia's house.
For several days, nothing unusual happened.
But I always felt that the quieter it was, the more problematic it became.
Sure enough, after another day, I saw a cargo cart stop in front of Hu Zhengjia's house. A group of workers got off and began unloading several wooden boxes from the truck.
I counted; there were a total of twenty boxes.
I frowned, thinking, has Lin Mautsai come to deliver goods so soon?
But what exactly are these things?
If they are weapons, there wouldn't be so many boxes.
If they aren't weapons, then what could they be?
I stared at the boxes, feeling troubled.
The boxes were all sealed shut and couldn't be opened.
Yuan Bufei wasn't around, and I hadn't brought any tools to open the boxes.
After thinking for a moment, I decided to take a risk and give it a try.
I slipped to the door and knocked a few times.
After a while, the door opened, and the old servant I had seen last time peeked out. "Who are you looking for?"
I smiled and said, "Old sir, I am sent by Lin Mautsai. Mr. Lin said this shipment is very important and asked me to come check if it has already been delivered to your residence."
The old servant thought for a moment and said, "Oh, you are sent by Mr. Lin? Then come in!"
I quickly followed the old servant inside.
As we walked through the courtyard, I looked around and noticed that it was quite large, with rockeries, fountains, lawns, and a vast bamboo grove.
I frowned slightly, wondering what Lin Mautsai needed so much bamboo for.
The old servant led me into the living room.
I glanced around and found that the living room was filled with wooden boxes, tightly packed all the way to the corner of the wall.
I asked, "Old sir, how many boxes are there in total?"
The old servant replied, "There are twenty boxes in total."
I nodded and asked, "Old man, what is in these boxes?"
The old servant shook his head, "I don't know either. I'm just responsible for receiving them; only my master knows what they contain."
I asked again, "What about Mr. Hu? Is he home right now?"
The old servant replied, "The master is not at home; he went out on business."
I said "Oh," thought for a moment, and then asked, "Do you know where Mr. Hu went?"
The old servant shook his head, "I have no idea."
I frowned slightly and suddenly came up with an idea.
I smiled and said, "Old man, can I open one of the boxes to take a look?"
The old servant was taken aback, "What did you say?"
I smiled and explained, "Please don't misunderstand, since these are items sent by Mr. Lin, I naturally need to check them. If there’s something wrong inside, I need to report back to Mr. Lin."
As I spoke, I opened one of the boxes and reached in to feel around; it seemed like there was some kind of mineral inside.
