Chapter 184 Calluses on Hands

Pingnan had a buzz cut, was tall and muscular, his black shirt stretched taut, and had a noticeable scar under his right eye. He had dark skin and a fierce-looking face, the kind of ruthless bandit who could punch someone into a wall and never be pried out.

It's just that public security management is not strict now and the laws are not as rigorous as in later times; otherwise, you would be stopped by the police and have your ID checked while walking on the street.

Bai Nuo first met him when she went to the black market. At the time, she thought he was the old man's bodyguard. However, in Ping Nan's mind, he was the old man's bodyguard, and a lifelong one at that. So this guy used to call Bai Nuo "Miss Bai Nuo".

In fact, in everyone's mind, Pingnan was Yu Guosheng's adopted son. When he was about ten years old, he almost starved to death on the roadside and was picked up by Yu Guosheng. After that, Yu Guosheng taught him to read and sent him to join the army.

But Pingnan is stubborn and believes that his life was saved by the old man. He is loyal and devoted to the old man and wants to be his bodyguard and protect him for the rest of his life. No one can persuade him otherwise.

Yu Guosheng had no choice but to let it be. He knew in his heart that the relationship between father and son was not for outsiders to see.

Ever since Yu Guosheng learned that his granddaughter owned a house here, he had Pingnan arrange for a few of his underlings to live nearby and help look after the house.

As for why the young girl got a house in the county right after going to the countryside, the old man didn't care much. It wasn't like the family couldn't afford it. As long as there were connections, the young girl could build whatever she wanted.

As for the money for the house, Yu Guosheng had already received news from Shanghai that the girl had taken back the house that had been given to the Ma family and then sold it for a good price.

As for the free job, Yu Guosheng didn't care at all. Even if the girl had been attracted to the job and fallen into the trap of staying in Shanghai, those of them who stayed in Shanghai would have found a way to send her to the Northeast.

However, his little granddaughter is very clever. After her brain recovered, she became even more intelligent and didn't fall for the trick at all. She directly turned her job into money.

It's those idiots who rushed to give money to his granddaughter, who can stop them?

So, all Yu Guosheng could say was: Is there any more? Give me some more!

Pingnan had only come to collect debts today, but he received news that something had happened to Bai Nuo as soon as he got to this street, so he hurriedly brought a few of his men over.

What did he see when he opened the door?

"Comrade Bai, what's wrong?"

The old man never said his eldest daughter was so fierce. That little girl, whom he felt he could lift with two fingers, is actually this strong!

No, that's not right. This girl was very fierce when she was little. She often chased and beat up the older kids in the compound with that boy from the Fang family.

However, seeing that she hadn't grown much in the past few years, Pingnan almost forgot that this little girl's skills were no less than her grandmother's.

"Uncle Ping," Bai Nuo called out to him, then pointed to the group of middle-aged women on the ground. "They came over for no reason and tried to take my house. When I refused, they rushed in and tried to forcibly take it, but they couldn't beat me."

Ping Nan frowned slightly. His already fierce face became even more frightening when he got angry. Even his burly aura gained a touch of bloodthirstiness. Anyone who had seen blood could tell that this man had killed people.

Bai Nuo, however, disagreed. Ping Nan was twenty-seven this year and had served in the army before, fighting on the battlefield. In this day and age, who hasn't stained their hands with blood after going to the battlefield?

"Oh, right!" Bai Nuo stepped over the person under his feet and came to the middle-aged woman who looked kind and gentle. She was the only one who had been knocked down by Bai Nuo's heavy blow and instantly passed out.

Bai Nuo raised the man's hand, palm facing Ping Nan, and said in a clear and indifferent voice: "Uncle Ping, this man has calluses on his hands, and he is skilled in martial arts, but he has been deliberately hiding it. The others did not notice anything unusual."

Upon hearing this, Pingnan strode forward, squatted down, picked up the woman's hand, and examined it. Sure enough, it was calloused from gunfire, and it was old calloused.

“Brother Nan, I know this one!” A young man who came in with Pingnan pointed to the old woman with a headscarf and said, “This woman lives in a big courtyard on Third Street with her three sons and two daughters-in-law. The house isn’t their own; they took it from an orphan and a widow.”

The widow and her child had suffered a misfortune, leaving them with only an empty room in the tenement courtyard. However, when they tried to move in, they discovered that the room had already been occupied by another family, who had beaten them out and torn up their housing permit. Apparently, they had no choice but to go to relatives' homes in the countryside.

Bai Nuo chuckled: "You old scoundrel, aren't you? You've got your eye on my yard again and want to take it over using the same methods."

"Has Comrade Bai seen this person before?"

Pingnan was furious. He felt that this person must have had his eye on this house for a long time. He also knew that there was only a young girl living in the house, and she was rarely home. That's why he made his move.

This has given Bai Nuo a real problem to solve!

She has a good memory, but she forgets less important people or things very quickly, as if she automatically clears out mental clutter.

"A-Tong, scan him and see if you've seen this person before."

"Yes, host!"

The mini-system is always ready to serve its host. Upon receiving a task, it immediately begins scanning the memoirs.

Believe it or not, it actually found it.

“Host, we’ve found her. Last time we went to the post office to buy stamps during our vacation, she was right next to us. She even stared at you for a while. Another time when we returned to the courtyard, she happened to be nearby.”
