In the blink of an eye, Da Yong's child had grown so much. "Kid, how have you been all these years?" Li Yunlong thought of his fallen comrades and asked Wang Jiefang with a hint of melancholy.
"Thanks to the country's support, my grandmother and I have been doing quite well. It’s also with the help of the state that I was able to study under a renowned master!"
"Good to hear! As long as you’re doing well, I can rest easy. You’re like a nephew to me now. If anyone bullies you in the future, just come find me, and I’ll take care of it!"
"Director Song, I won't be staying in Kyoto for long. If this kid suffers any grievances, you can't just sit idly by!"
Li Yunlong pondered for a moment and pulled Director Song into the mix.
"Don’t worry, Chief. After all, Da Yong and I are brothers in the same trench. I definitely won’t let Little Wang be bullied!"
Wang Jiefang hadn’t expected that by coming out for a job, he would find himself a protector. However, it seemed that this protector's fate might not end well. Sigh! This was complicated!
After finishing his afternoon shift at the street office, Wang Jiefang returned to the courtyard and immediately sensed something was off.
"Grandma, is something wrong in our compound?" he asked.
His grandmother sighed and replied, "Oh, something has indeed happened. That butcher Li Daxian from the middle courtyard has died!"
"Li Daxian is dead? Wasn't he in good health? How could he die?" Wang Jiefang questioned in confusion.
"I heard he was gored by a pig while slaughtering it. He lost his balance and got stabbed by his own knife," his grandmother explained.
Wang Jiefang felt that the cause of Li Daxian's death sounded somewhat unbelievable. This man had been slaughtering pigs for nearly thirty years; how could he fall victim to one now?
Later, after some inquiries, Wang Jiefang learned that with the year-end approaching, the meat processing plant had increased its workload significantly to supply meat for the residents of Kyoto.
This led to a shortage of manpower during pig slaughtering. Li Daxian thought that working with several people was too slow and, relying on his strength, decided to tackle a pig alone.
While it was true that Li Daxian had experience in single-handedly slaughtering pigs, he had forgotten that those were feats from his youth. Now that he was older, his physical strength was nowhere near what it used to be!
Moreover, he hadn’t anticipated that the pig would unleash a sudden burst of strength when it sensed danger, knocking him backward unexpectedly.
If it had ended there, he might have only sustained some bruises! Unfortunately, at that moment, an apprentice carrying a slaughtering knife happened to pass by. Seeing a large object coming at him, he instinctively reached out to block it!
Perhaps it was just Li Daxian's fate; the knife in the apprentice's hand ended up piercing right into Li Daxian’s heart!
The apprentice was so shocked that he froze on the spot! By the time they got Li Daxian to the hospital, he had already lost his life!
Wang Jiefang felt something strange about all this. He recalled what he had sensed earlier and wondered if Li Daxian had been drained of energy by Qin Huairu before meeting his end.
He had seen Li Daxian and Qin Huairu getting too close more than once! Especially after Qin Huairu’s family lost their money; they seemed to be together more often than not. To avoid being discovered, they even changed their rendezvous point to Shazhu’s cellar!
Thinking of Li Dashan's recent listless appearance, Wang Jiefang increasingly felt that his thoughts were indeed correct!
Hiss! Qin Guafu is impressive!
