Became a vicious male mother

"You're so pitiful."

Gu Xinglan said a lot, but he didn't expect the other party to say this after listening to him.

Wild Man Jiang Chuzheng didn't touch the beef noodles on the table. He lowered his head, his hair covering his expression, and continued, "I'm so pitiful too. I was brought here from my hometown. Now I'm penniless and have been sleeping on the bridge nearby for several days."

Gu Xinglan: "..."

That sounds quite plausible.

If Jiang Chuzheng were really a wild man, that would be great. Unfortunately, he isn't. He can't gather information, let alone guard against the other party discovering his identity.

"From what you're saying, it seems you haven't eaten for days?"

"Ah."

"Then why aren't you eating this noodle?"

"I can't eat spicy food," Jiang Chuzheng said hesitantly, shaking his head as dust flew everywhere. "Besides, I don't have any money on me."

With a "bang," the boss placed the noodles on the table, interrupting the two men, especially the savage.

"Go where you're going after you finish eating, don't come here begging." Her tone was sharp and urgent, and her face showed disgust.

Seeing his seemingly upright boss getting so frustrated, Gu Xinglan couldn't help but ask, "How did you manage to make the boss so angry?"

"I'm hungry, and there are no restaurants around, so I had to come and beg the owner to cook me a bowl of vegetarian noodles." The wild man said, looking dejected, and then patted his belly.

His exposed arms were bony and thin, with not a trace of muscle.

Goodness, the last time I saw him he was all muscle, he could easily flip a table with one punch.

But now, she's even thinner than him, that's incredible.

"If you want to eat, you can go to the nearby slaughterhouse. They have ready-made meat there. You might even be able to get some if you work there."

Although it's unclear what this reporter is investigating, he could still be someone to whom one could seek help.

"The slaughterhouse?" The savage twirled his fingers, then looked at him. "I'd like to go, but they're not hiring..."

What skills do you have?

“My name is Li Jiang. I come from Ningxiang. I can chop firewood and raise pigs and cattle.”

Gu Xinglan found it inexplicably funny; was this big-shot reporter really into dressing up?

However, it also proves that the people sent by the Hope Society must have discovered some problems in this area.

"Boss, you said you're getting the meat from the slaughterhouse when you open this shop?" Gu Xinglan asked the boss.

The boss looked over, a cigarette dangling from his mouth: "What do you want?"

"Did you get it from there?" Gu Xinglan asked again, seemingly unbothered.

The boss was now annoyed: "So what if it is?"

"I also want to open a shop."

The air seemed to freeze as soon as the words were spoken.

"Opening a shop?!"

The boss jumped up: "You little brat, are you trying to steal my business?!"

Gu Xinglan smoothed his sleeves and stood up: "To be honest, your noodles are too spicy. There shouldn't be only one flavor around here. I think there should be more variety."

He can't cook, but he has skill cards.

Since we can't go into the slaughterhouse, we have to find another way.

"Are you interested? I need someone to help me out," Gu Xinglan asked Jiang Chu... Li Jiang, who was sitting opposite her.

Li Jiang hung his head, seemingly lost in thought.

After waiting for a long time, long enough that Gu Xinglan had already tacitly accepted the other party's unwillingness, she heard: "Fine, you, you... are my benefactor in this life!"

After he finished speaking, I could even hear the other person's choked sobs.

I have no idea what kind of persona this big-shot reporter is playing, or who his investigation is; it has absolutely nothing to do with him.

He had only one goal: to find Xu Mufeng and then beat the child's palms hard with a bamboo stick so that the child would remember the lesson.

System: [What about the task object?]

“Mornings and evenings are exclusively for Li Hetai,” Gu Xinglan thought to herself.

With the show approaching, what could he do? He could only leave it at that for now.

Perhaps we can even get Li Hetai to come and help out.

While I was still in a daze, I heard a muffled laugh.

The boss seemed amused by his words.

"Spicy? This place is full of out-of-towners, they all like it, they love this flavor. Whatever you want to do, you'd better not come here and get involved."

……

I came out of the noodle shop.

There was also a large pendant following behind.

Gu Xinglan turned around: "Li Jiang, tell me, when did you arrive?"

Will this person tell him?

"I've been here for three days, and the owner still won't give me any vegetarian noodles," Li Jiang said, sounding aggrieved. "Are you a local?"

"No."

Upon hearing this, Li Jiang fell silent.

The atmosphere was slightly strange.

If he says yes, he might be tricked into revealing information and investigated. This reporter probably noticed that he looks like the female owner of a villa, which is why she's putting so much effort into him.

Although the original owner was not a local of Wushui.

"Actually, I'm here to find the child."

"Child?"

Gu Xinglan nodded: "The child I adopted has now been sold to work as a child laborer by his biological father."

"child labor?!"

“Yes, I urgently need to get to the slaughterhouse, but unfortunately I don’t have any connections.” Gu Xinglan shook her head.

Tell this senior reporter directly about the matter, and subtly probe to see what their purpose is.

Unfortunately... Li Jiang's face, covered in ash, showed no expression.

"How did you know? That shouldn't be the case. There are no child laborers in Ningxiang anymore."

Gu Xinglan took out the video she had just recorded from the tree: "I don't have evidence of child labor, but I do have evidence of their illegal abuse of the elderly and restriction of personal freedom."

When the video was shown to Li Jiang, he laughed awkwardly, "What does this have to do with me? I don't understand any of this."

But when the video play button was pressed, the person who said it had nothing to do with them instantly became focused, staring intently at the phone screen without blinking.

Until the video finishes playing.

Gu Xinglan put her phone away and said softly, "I want to call the police directly..."

"No!" Li Jiang suddenly interrupted.

He raised an eyebrow, his tone questioning, "Why not?"

The evidence on the phone is very direct; the employee who did the assault was wearing his uniform, which is enough to serve as direct evidence.

The reporter, Jiang, reacted strongly. He was now at least certain that Jiang Chuzheng wasn't there to investigate child labor, violations of personal freedom, or illegal abuse; he must have a deeper investigation in mind.

As for not allowing the police to be called, it's probably because they didn't want to alert the enemy.

But this put him in a difficult position.

After all, if he collects enough evidence and then calls the police, he can sneak in to find Xu Mufeng while the police are searching.

Now, he still has to spend energy dealing with this reporter.

We must hide his cross-dressing identity!

"Aren't you afraid of retaliation? That's a big factory! Didn't you see? The security guards patrolling outside are strong and tall, with scars on their faces. They look like they've been out of jail. If they cut off someone's money, they could knock you or me out of the factory with one punch!"

Li Jiang, speaking with a strong local accent, kept pointing out the disadvantages of calling the police. Finally, he said, "How about this, I'll help you find the child you want, but you have to promise me that you'll open a shop to help you."

How should the support be arranged?

After a moment's thought, he quickly understood.

Being a food delivery driver is the fastest way to infiltrate.

The reporter arrived three days earlier than him and must have found out a lot. Since he wasn't allowed to call the police, it means there might be some danger inside.

The most troublesome issue is the collusion between them.

"Okay, I promise you, but I only have three days at most."

Three days later, Lai Thai-ho must be abroad.

He would only be filmed after the first two groups of guests had finished filming.

As for Ding Xiuying, if it was early-stage syphilis, it would be just enough for one injection of benzathine penicillin. That way, when he met Xu Mufeng, he would have the leverage to get her to film a program.

There is plenty of time.
