After my stepmother was shot, I took my brothers to the countryside

Chapter 146 Who are they looking for?

When Hu Tingting and Fengfeng came to find Zhang Fengfeng in anger, she was smashing things in the house.

"Zhang Fengfeng, the group of people they were talking about today who intercepted Ye Jiaojiao, were they the ones you hired to deal with Shen Nian?"

Zhang Fengfeng stopped what she was doing, stared at Hu Tingting with wide eyes, a trace of panic flashed across her face, but she quickly calmed down.

"Hu Zhiqing, why are you here suddenly?" Zhang Fengfeng tried to change the subject with a hint of embarrassment in her tone.

Hu Tingting didn't answer her question, but continued to ask: "I'm asking you, are they the ones you hired to deal with Shen Nian?"

Zhang Fengfeng's expression changed slightly. She glared at Hu Tingting, pretended to be angry, and turned her head away to avoid her gaze.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Fengfeng's tone was filled with a hint of anger.

"How could the person I'm looking for be so unreliable? What's more, I personally led them to stake out Shen Nian. How could they have mistaken him for someone else?"

Hu Tingting sneered, walked up to Zhang Fengfeng, and looked her straight in the eyes: "Zhang Fengfeng, you have accepted the money I gave you. If you can't do this, you must return the money to me!"

Zhang Fengfeng's face suddenly turned ugly when she heard this. She cursed in her heart, this Hu Tingting is really difficult to deal with.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Fengfeng said unhappily, "I've already given them the money, and the work hasn't even started yet! Why are you so anxious to get your money back? If you still want Shen Nian to pester Lin Zhiqing, then fine, I'll give you the money back. After all, it's not my fiancé that's pestering him! Why should I be so anxious?"

Hu Tingting's face changed slightly when she heard this. She naturally didn't want Shen Nian to continue to get close to Lin Zhiqing, which was why she agreed to Zhang Fengfeng in the first place.

"So what do you say we should do now?" Hu Tingting frowned and stared at Zhang Fengfeng. "You can't let my money go to waste, right?"

Seeing Hu Tingting's calmness, Zhang Fengfeng was secretly happy. This was the sentence she had been waiting for. As long as Hu Tingting wanted to continue dealing with Shen Nian, she would have to listen to her.

She immediately put on a smile and soothed him:

"Tingting, don't worry. Since they've taken our money, they have to help us get things done. This incident was probably an accident. They might have recognized the wrong person. I'll go and explain it to them in a moment. Tell them to be sure to look carefully next time they make a move!"

After hearing Zhang Fengfeng's promise, Hu Tingting's expression finally looked a little better.

After Hu Tingting left, Zhang Fengfeng covered her entire face with a headscarf and sneaked out of the house.

She walked through the foot of the mountain village and came to the foot of another brigade, where there was a dilapidated house.

Zhang Fengfeng knocked on the door gently, and the door was quickly opened. A thin man appeared at the door.

"Why are you here?" The man looked at her in surprise.

Zhang Fengfeng glared at him and angrily demanded, "How did you do what you did after receiving my money? Why did you try to stop Ye Jiaojiao? Didn't I tell you to deal with Shen Nian?"

The man scratched his head and explained awkwardly, "Brother Ma and the others must have recognized the wrong person, right?"

"Wrong person? I personally took you to jail! How could you make such a low-level mistake!"

Zhang Fengfeng's voice rose an octave, clearly unable to suppress her anger. "Shen Nian and Ye Jiaojiao are so different, how could you have made a mistake?"

The man shrank his neck, looking a little unnatural. He wanted to continue to argue: "Maybe..."

"What are you yelling about! What are you yelling about! We brothers are short of women! It's a blessing to fall in love with her! But in the end, he was beaten up by her pretty boy!" A short and fat man with a face full of flesh came out of the house.

Zhang Fengfeng saw that it was none other than Brother Ma, the leader. She became even more furious, thinking she was truly blind to have chosen such an unreliable group of people.

"Isn't that girl called Shen Nian prettier? Wouldn't it be better if you could just capture her?"

Zhang Fengfeng said unhappily, "You can complete the task I gave you and satisfy you!"

Ma snorted and replied disapprovingly, "That Shen Nian hasn't come out in the past few days. How can we take action? But that Ye Jiaojiao was walking down the street with a pretty boy. We were bored and needed a woman to kill time. We wanted to catch her first to have some fun, but we didn't expect that pretty boy to be so good at it!"

Ma Ge paused, looked Zhang Fengfeng up and down, a hint of teasing in his eyes:

"How about you stay here and play with us? We're not picky, and we don't despise people like you. We can even force ourselves to eat you with our eyes closed."

When Zhang Fengfeng heard this, she was shocked. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She knew that now was not the time to confront each other head-on, and getting angry would not solve the problem. The key was to find a way to deal with Shen Nian as soon as possible.

Zhang Fengfeng pretended to be calm and turned her head away: "Don't forget, I paid for you to come here. You want to take advantage of me? No way!"

Brother Ma laughed out loud, but he didn't make things difficult for Zhang Fengfeng anymore. It was okay to give the woman in front of him to his subordinates to play with, but he couldn't bring himself to eat her.

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business." He suppressed his smile. "We haven't found a chance to take down Shen Nian. Did you come here this time with any news?"

Zhang Fengfeng took a deep breath and calmed herself down. "I came here to tell you that you shouldn't take any action for the next few days. Wait for my news."

Ma Ge frowned, a little unhappy: "What news are you waiting for?"

Zhang Fengfeng glared at him and said unhappily, "You guys already alerted the enemy last time. Ye Jiaojiao went back and found our team leader! If you take action now, it will only make things worse. Shen Nian must be more vigilant now. We have to wait for another opportunity."

Ma Ge's eyes widened. "Did that little girl really go back and tell your captain? Isn't she afraid that others will say that her reputation will be damaged?"

Zhang Fengfeng...

"Did you succeed? You didn't succeed! And her boyfriend even chased her away! Where's her reputation to be damaged?"

Zhang Fengfeng was so furious. How could she have found these idiots?

Ma Ge was hurt by Zhang Fengfeng's words and felt a little embarrassed, but he also knew that his people did not do the job well, so he could only smile awkwardly and stop talking.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Fengfeng knew that she couldn't be too tough, after all, she still needed their help.

She softened her tone and continued, "Brother Ma, I'm not blaming you, but the situation has changed now. You must be more careful. Shen Nian is not an easy character to deal with. You can't act rashly anymore."

Ma Ge nodded: "Then what do you say we should do?"

"Wait for my news." Zhang Fengfeng waved her hand and turned away.

In the next few days, the entire brigade was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

The team leader reported the situation and organized personnel to strengthen patrols in the village. The commune and the police station also sent people to investigate the matter, but they found no useful clues.

In this tense atmosphere, everyone was very cautious, and some even stayed away from the group for fear of becoming the next target.
