The Magnificent Son-in-law

Just at this moment, Sun Shijie walked out of the house.

Upon seeing Sun Shijie, Xu Chun was taken aback, then reflexively said, "I don't have any money, really, I don't have money. Even if you sue me, I can't get the money."

Xiao Feng and the others were all startled, suddenly remembering that Sun Shijie had mentioned, while searching for the entrance to the underground structure, he had pulled some strings to get a job as a gatekeeper at the construction site.

From Xu Chun's reaction, it was clear he mistook Sun Shijie for a victim coming to collect debts.

Sun Shijie said in a deep voice, "I didn't come to ask for money, I'm just curious why when I was making inquiries, no one mentioned the toilet collapse."

"That's not something to brag about. The fewer people know, the better," Xu Chun muttered softly, and then, as if he suddenly remembered something, asked, "By the way, I forgot to ask, why are you guys inquiring about the construction site?"

Di Xuedong coughed and solemnly said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't. Just do your job well."

"Yes, yes, I was being nosy," Xu Chun replied humbly.

"You guys sit tight, I'll take him for a walk." Xiao Feng said to Di Xuedong and Gu Wenhui.

"Okay, I'll have the driver take you there," Di Xuedong readily agreed.

Xiao Feng didn't hesitate and immediately took Xu Chun outside.

Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to grab Zhao Guo'an.

"Old Xiao, why do you always drag me along? I've reached a critical stage in developing Strong Mint Candy, and if I can't deliver when it's needed, don't blame me for inefficiency."

In the car, Zhao Guo'an hugged his shoulders, looking like an aggrieved wife.

Xiao Feng chuckled, "If I remember correctly, this critical stage is the third time. Once while searching for Master Nine, another time at the construction site last night.

I wonder why every time I come to you, your research reaches a critical stage?"

"Pharmaceutical development is like harvesting in autumn, with indispensable tasks such as sowing, irrigation, fertilizing, and spraying, but every time I'm about to reap, you drag me away at the optimal time, making me restart everything," Zhao Guo'an straightforwardly passed the buck, feeling that after spending much time with Xiao Feng, his ability to babble had noticeably improved.

Xiao Feng sneered, "I don't care about anything else, but when it's time to deliver, if you can't produce the results, you can go drink soup at Naihe Bridge."

"There you go again!" Zhao Guo'an couldn't help but shout, "Do I owe you, or do I owe you?"

"You can only blame yourself. If you hadn't voluntarily come to visit and insisted on staying at our place as a free cook, you wouldn't be oppressed now."

"You do realize your treatment of me is oppressive?"

"I know you want to say, where there's oppression, there's resistance," Xiao Feng patted Zhao Guo'an's shoulder, then shifted his tone, "You can resist in your mind all you want, but before you take action, I advise you one thing.

With your small build, shouting slogans is fine, but if you want to get real, you'd better bang your head against a rock a few times first, to see if the rock is harder or your head stronger."

"..." Zhao Guo'an.

At this moment, Xu Chun, sitting at the back row, his face flushed, kept his mouth shut but his body trembled as if installed with a spring.

This was a normal reaction from holding back laughter too hard.

The driver at the wheel, wearing sunglasses, glanced at the aggrieved-looking Zhao Guo'an in the rearview mirror, also found it hard to suppress a grin. These two really should do stand-up comedy!

...

After arriving at the construction site, the vehicle stopped, and as soon as Xu Chun got off, he acted like he was revisiting an old haunt, feeling nostalgic.

"I remember, this was the cafeteria, and that over there was the bathhouse. Working all day, sweating all over, a bath felt so good!"

Saying this, a strange smile appeared on Xu Chun's face.

Xiao Feng frowned slightly, sounding annoyed, "I brought you here not to reminisce, not to find joy in sorrow. Hurry up and find the place."

"No problem, no problem, the place is easy to find, it's not far behind the dormitory, I'll take you there now," Xu Chun replied with a smile, and eagerly led the way.

By mistake perhaps, the dormitory's position was indeed as Qi Xiaoman mentioned last night, right within the teaching building.

Zhao Guo'an apparently realized this too, casually asking while following along, "During construction, did anyone ever jump off the roof?"

"You're joking, no matter how unlucky, there has to be a limit, right? If that really happened, I'd wonder if I'd survive," Xu Chun said with a bitter face.

Passing the teaching building, which was the workers' dormitory at the time, revealed a large open space behind, overgrown with wild grass, waist-high.

Seeing this, Xu Chun again couldn't help but lament, "This was originally planned to be the playground, the contracts were signed. If things went smoothly, earning a few million wouldn't have been a problem, but who could have thought..."

Xiao Feng impatiently said, "Are you done? Get on with finding the place."

"Alright, I'll start looking," Xu Chun replied and began surveying above the teaching building, as if searching for a reference point.

After walking about twenty steps to the left, Xu Chun confidently said, "No mistake, it's on the line I'm standing on. Follow and you'll find it!"

"Are you sure?" Zhao Guo'an asked suspiciously.

"Enough chatter, let's focus on the main task." Xiao Feng glanced at the evasive Xu Chun, having already figured out most of it.

First, when Xu Chun was looking for the toilet, his first instinct was to look at the third floor, this action was likely searching for his room from that time. Between this, another point can be confirmed.

That is, the toilet should be open-air, one without a roof.

But clearly, it's not the time to dwell on this. Finding the toilet that is likely the entrance to the underground structure is the primary task.

After walking a dozen meters, Xu Chun scratched his head, "Shouldn't it be around here, why can't I see any traces?"

"Who are you asking?" Zhao Guo'an said impatiently.

At that moment, the driver who came along pointed not far, "Look, isn't there a hole over there?"

"A hole?" Xiao Feng and Zhao Guo'an exchanged a glance, both feeling uneasy.

If there were a hole here, wouldn't it imply someone had found the entrance to the underground structure long ago?

"Let's go check it out," Xiao Feng said, obviously displeased.
