He asked a question, but it seemed impolite, so he only used a question.
The girl suddenly said inexplicably, "I am Luo Qingqing."
Li Chonglou was immediately confused, but he thought the girl was introducing herself, and out of politeness, he also stated his name.
Luo Qingqing's expression faltered, "You don't know Xi Bang?"
This time, Li Chonglou was truly bewildered. He had just asked what her father had to do with it, and suddenly it turned into an introduction, and now it was about Xi Bang. Li Chonglou felt that even with an extra head, he couldn't keep up with this train of thought!
Luo Qingqing suddenly showed an apologetic expression, as if she finally realized the leap in her thought process, and then explained, "I'm sorry, I thought you knew about Xi Bang."
Li Chonglou shook his head and said, "I've heard of Xi Bang."
"Then how come you don't know that the person in charge of Xi Bang is surnamed Luo?"
The person in charge of Xi Bang is surnamed Luo? This has something to do with...
Li Chonglou's expression suddenly froze.
"You mean your dad is the person in charge of Xi Bang?"
"Mm."
Luo Qingqing nodded seriously. Just as she was about to say something else, she suddenly noticed Li Chonglou's brows furrowed.
"What's wrong?"
Li Chonglou shook his head, his tone becoming a little colder, "Saving you was just a small favor. I don't need any reward from you. That's all, I have something to do and I'm leaving."
With that, Li Chonglou turned and left, ignoring Luo Qingqing's calls from behind. He eventually disappeared into the forest.
Luo Qingqing then sighed deeply with disappointment, followed by a strong sense of confusion.
"His attitude changed immediately upon hearing about Xi Bang? Does he have some misunderstanding about my Xi Bang?"
Thinking of this, Luo Qingqing gritted her teeth.
"No, if it's really a misunderstanding, I can't just let it go! I have to find out about this!"
"Afeng!"
A man in green not far away tensed up and quickly walked to Luo Qingqing's side.
"Miss, what are your orders?"
"Go and find out if there are any grievances between my benefactor and Xi Bang. Remember to be discreet. My benefactor is no ordinary person. If you are discovered, you don't have to follow me anymore."
Luo Feng's expression changed, and he quickly knelt on one knee, saying solemnly, "I promise to complete the mission!"
On the other side, Li Chonglou's mood only calmed down when he returned to the highway. He did have a prejudice against Luo Qingqing because of Xi Bang. Especially when he understood what Luo Qingqing meant, he immediately decided not to have any further entanglement with her.
Even without the incident with Nakata, the incident with Haiyan alone was enough to make him maintain a cautious attitude towards Xi Bang before he had thoroughly investigated it.
"I hope she stops here."
Sitting in the taxi back to Yian, Li Chonglou suddenly murmured. Although it might sound a bit narcissistic, he could still sense Luo Qingqing's feelings for him, so it was impossible not to worry that Luo Qingqing would continue to pester him.
But thinking of her identity, as the young lady of Xi Bang, if she really wanted to find him, it wouldn't be difficult! So at this moment, Li Chonglou could only silently pray that she would give up because of the attitude he had just shown.
Otherwise, it might be a headache.
However, after a while, his attention was drawn to another matter, a call from Zhou Tong.
"No, Hu Han can't handle it. If you have time, come and take a look."
What made Li Chonglou confused was that when he asked on the phone, Zhou Tong said he would know when he got there, and didn't tell him the details over the phone.
This made him a little uneasy.
"Is the matter serious or complicated?"
Li Chonglou, with a look of doubt, asked the driver to change the destination and drove straight to Hu Han's warehouse.
The location was a bit far, in an industrial zone called the East District. Of course, this industrial zone was not purely industrial; it also mixed with residential areas and other areas, but the industry here was relatively well-known.
This East District was hundreds of kilometers away from Yian. Li Chonglou took an hour and a half to drive before finally arriving outside the factory area.
Zhou Tong was already waiting outside.
"What exactly is going on, making it so mysterious."
Seeing that Zhou Tong was unharmed, Li Chonglou was relieved. However, while relieved, he couldn't help but feel confused. He had asked Yue Hai to come along, and what was it that Yue Hai couldn't handle?
Did something happen to Hu Han? But if so, why would Zhou Tong call him instead of Hu Han?
Li Chonglou was filled with doubts at the moment, but to his frustration, Zhou Tong still did not explain and instead led him into the factory area.
"Could it be that something really went wrong with Hu Han?"
Li Chonglou murmured, but at this moment, an old woman's voice suddenly entered his ears.
"This is outrageous! They hurt people and refuse to compensate, and they don't admit it! Is there any justice in this world? Is there any law!"
As Zhou Tong led him around a corner, Li Chonglou saw a poorly dressed old woman lying on the ground, rolling around. A banner was hung around her, and several people wearing masks stood there silently.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Tong sighed and explained the whole story.
It turned out that after Yue Hai followed Hu Han and him back and dealt with the troublemakers several times, the other party was indeed scared and did not appear again.
However, just when they thought the matter had been perfectly resolved, this old woman suddenly appeared.
"According to Hu Han, this is purely a scam. The old woman's son did work here, but he fell ill during a week's leave and went home. She comes here every day to make trouble, claiming it was caused by the factory. Now they've made it so that trucks can't even enter. Yesterday, we tried to manually transport goods in from outside, and we almost damaged them."
Zhou Tong sighed deeply again. If Yue Hai hadn't suddenly intervened and subdued everyone, they might have actually damaged the goods.
Understanding Zhou Tong's meaning, Li Chonglou frowned and said, "Then why don't you just call the police?"
"We've already called the police, and they've been arrested, but people like them can't be kept for long. And this is the third batch, so calling the police now is meaningless."
"The third batch already?"
Zhou Tong nodded and said directly, "I know what you're going to say. Yes, these people are indeed with the previous troublemakers, but it's no use for us to know. The police can't do anything about them causing trouble like this."
