Chapter 2308 If a man doesn't look out for himself, he'll be punished by heaven and earth.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaobai, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around and went to Qin Huairu to act coquettishly.
"Sister Huairu, how often can we warm up the bed? It can't be only once a month, can it?"
Hao Dongmei was startled. She had just told her not to be too playful. "Why did you ask that? How playful of you are!"
Before Hao Dongmei could pull her friends along quickly, Qin Huairu covered her mouth and giggled.
"No, you can have it every day if you want. I'm just worried you're not capable enough; it's not as simple as you imagine. You'll see later... I'm afraid you're too greedy and won't be able to handle it!"
Zhou Xiaobai, being young and fearless, had no idea of the intricacies and nuances involved.
She was thinking of steaming buns for her brother Lin Chen.
"Oh, not every day. Once a week is fine too, thank you, Sister Huairu."
Looking at the three little white rabbits' thin backs, Qin Huairu laughed and scolded them again.
I'm so full after just one meal of this, I'd be stuffed for three days. If you dare try it now, you'd probably lose your lives. Those three little sluts are truly ignorant and arrogant…
Zhou Xiaobai and her friends only knew how to be tall and didn't know what rolling their eyes meant, so they didn't know what fear was.
After seeing the three young girls off, Qin Huairu went to her new apartment across the street. She needed to take a shower first; now that she was a mother of two, her needs naturally increased... but fortunately, Lin Chen was the type to become stronger when facing stronger opponents, and they couldn't possibly shake him.

West Courtyard
Everyone else had gone out to watch a movie, but Lin Chen went alone to the little monkey's house in the west courtyard to "bring warmth".
"Uncle Lin, you've arrived! Please have a seat, please have a seat..."
Lin Chen sat down directly in front of the hospital bed.
"Don't move around, let me check you out beforehand. I'm probably going to be busy tomorrow, and I'm worried I won't be able to check you after the wedding..."
Tomorrow, a grand banquet will be held in the courtyard house, and Lin Chen will definitely have to fight these guys for three hundred rounds.
So we need to check on the little monkey's recovery beforehand. Don't say Uncle Lin isn't thinking about you, kid.
However, these are just excuses. Lin Chen's main purpose is to have the little monkey try to win over Vika... so that he will have a reason to deal with the little blondie.
"Thank you, Uncle Lin. You...you are my own uncle, my second father."
Lin Chen thought, "Since you've said that, and now your uncle wants you to do something, you shouldn't refuse, right?"
"Please don't say that. We're neighbors in the same compound, and you're the darling of our steel mill. If I don't help you, who will? Don't say anything, let me check you out."
Now, after Lin Chen's antics, the little monkey actually felt a pang of shame. Uncle Lin had been so good to him, and yet he had been spying on him. He was such a jerk!
However, this guy's sense of guilt was fleeting and quickly disappeared. His life motto was—every man for himself.
A few minutes passed
Lin Chen covered the other person with the thin blanket again and said, "You're recovering very well these past few days. In about a week, you'll be able to get out of bed and move around slowly. There's a bit of a tricky situation at the steel mill lately, so I'll come see you again in a few days!"
Lin Chen was about to leave after speaking when the little monkey, upon hearing about the troublesome situation, immediately thought of many things…
"Uncle Lin, is there anything I can do for you? I'll do my best to help if I can..."
Lin Chen, who had already reached the door, suddenly stopped, after all, he had been waiting for the young man to say those words.
"You know what, there is actually something you might be able to help with."
As Lin Chen spoke, he deliberately closed the door again, creating a mysterious atmosphere.
The little monkey was overjoyed. He could both gather intelligence for the CIA and gain Lin Chen's favor and trust—a win-win situation!
"Uncle Lin, please make the arrangements. I guarantee I will complete the mission."
Lin Chen sat down on the edge of the kang again and told the little monkey about the fact that another propagandist had come from Moscow.
“Comrade Hou Yongjie, the organization now suspects that this Vika may be a multiple spy. But the evidence is not enough. After all, he is our senior brother, and we can’t be too forceful. The organization wants to find someone to test him. I’ve discussed this with Secretary Wan. The best person would be someone from Washington. It seems that you are very suitable to handle this matter.”
Lin Chen thought that even a used sanitary napkin could be reused in the courtyard, let alone you, kid.
The little monkey was overjoyed to hear about this wonderful opportunity! It could finally make a request again…
"Uncle Lin, you can leave the task to me! I'll do whatever you say, but it's a bit inconvenient for me to be lying here right now. Once I recover, I'll go and meet that guy..."
Lin Chen knew this kid would try to raise the price, but so what? If he could take you down once, he could take you down countless times.
"Comrade Yongjie, don't worry. Vika is still at the expert group's residence at the steel rolling mill for the time being. But I guess he'll soon request to move to the city. You can make your move then. I'll do my best to help you recover quickly these next few days, because finding out his background is of utmost urgency."
The little monkey was overjoyed; now was the time to sacrifice a friend rather than himself. Regardless of whether this Soviet man was a CIA agent or not, he had to pin the label on him.
"Yes, that's what we'll do!"
Lin Chen wanted this kid to think like this: when Vika becomes someone his grandmother doesn't care about, the people in the courtyard will teach him a lesson. He thinks he can just play around with women and run away? Keep dreaming!
"Alright! I was thinking that if it was difficult for you, I would have assigned this task to Ouyang Yi! Since Comrade Yongjie is willing, I personally feel that you are more suitable than Ouyang Yi. Take a good rest these few days! Just wait for the organization's arrangements. I'll go and greet the guests now..."
The little monkey knew immediately that he had made the right bet; he wasn't the only one in the courtyard who had returned from Washington. If he didn't take the job, Ouyang Yi would definitely accept it, and he didn't know when he would be able to recover.
"Thank you for thinking of me, Uncle Lin. I'll wait for your call."
And so Lin Chen left the west courtyard and walked towards the main gate...
As soon as they arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, they encountered Liu Guangfu rushing into the courtyard.
“Uncle Lin, someone is looking for you outside. It’s Old Man Ox from the front gate. He’s too scared to come in. My dad asked me to ask you if you can see him.”
Lin Chen looked directly towards the gate, where Liu Haizhong was angrily confronting Master Niu.
Last time, Master Niu whipped Erpang a few times, and if it weren't for the fear of ruining the big day, Erpang would have already led his men into a fight...
"I'll go and meet him! It's better to avoid trouble on such a joyous occasion."
Lin Chen realized that Master Niu had come to deliver money, and he couldn't very well send it back now!
Lin Chen, who was originally going to find Master Stick, went back to the main gate. The old swindler had been lying in the hospital for several days. Now he had finally come knocking on his door! That meant he'd have someone to help with the banquet tomorrow!
