The young guy handed the photos to them.
He was really good at his job. The photos were very clear. Although there were two walls and a road between them, the photos were still sharp enough to tell at a glance that it was Shen Qingqing and that leader.
You couldn't tell what they were doing or what their relationship was, but there was no doubt that they had a private meeting.
As long as they could gather more evidence...
"By the way, do you have any other jobs? I find this quite interesting. Call me next time if you have something like this!"
He was a young man who loved exciting things, probably because he had watched too many TV shows and movies.
Yun Que'er and Yun Fujin exchanged a look, and they both saw the affirmative answer in each other's eyes.
"We do have other jobs. We think highly of you," Yun Que'er said with a sly smile. "But we won't need the camera this time."

"Is this okay?" the young guy nervously followed Yun Fujin step by step. "It's my first time doing this. I won't get arrested, will I?"
"Don't worry. Act naturally. As long as your legs don't tremble, you won't be suspected," Yun Fujin comforted him. "Just put the recorder in your pocket. Later, pretend to be a peddler and follow them from a distance. I'll be nearby. If anything happens, you can call me in time."
After Yun Fujin's repeated assurances, the young guy finally felt a bit more at ease.
He tugged at his newly changed clothes and whispered words of encouragement to himself.
"I can do it. I'm definitely going to be okay!"
The young guy gathered his courage and walked forward.
Yun Fujin took the opportunity to hide aside and quietly observed how things were going to unfold.
"Oranges! Big and plump oranges!"
The young guy pushed his cart and shouted all the way past Shen Qingqing's house.
"Freshly picked oranges! Sweet as can be! Come and take a look!"
The young guy stopped his cart in front of Shen Qingqing's house and shouted hard.
"Our oranges are freshly shipped from the south. They're a newly cultivated variety. Neighbors can taste them first and then buy. If they're not sweet, you don't have to pay!"
There was a funeral going on inside Shen Qingqing's house, but it was so noisy outside. It was really out of place.
Shen Qingqing ran out in a fit of anger. "Get out of here! Can't you see we're having a funeral? Don't get in the way!"
The young guy smiled at Shen Qingqing. "Hey, little girl, you've got quite a temper. I'm just selling oranges. I'm not blocking your way. Why are you so worked up? Even if you don't want to buy, you can't stop others from buying, can you?"
Shen Qingqing was annoyed. "What are you talking about? We're all human beings. Can't you have a bit of empathy? Besides, there's only our family living around here. Who's going to buy your oranges when you shout like this?"
The young guy gave a cynical smile and picked up an orange, tossing it around in his hand.
"What do you mean by empathy? I'll only show empathy to those who pay me. Little girl, if it were you selling things here today, you'd think the same as me."
He chuckled. "And I scouted the area before coming. This is the shortest way to the neighboring villages. A lot of people pass by here. And this road in front of your house is the widest, so that's why I chose this spot. Little girl, it wouldn't be very kind of you to stop me from making money just because of something going on in your family, would it?"
Shen Qingqing was so angry that she couldn't say a word. She could only glare at him.
The young guy added fuel to the fire. "Or you can just buy all the oranges in my cart. As long as the money is right, I'll leave right away."
"You... You're so shameless!" Shen Qingqing roared at the young guy in anger.
The argument outside went on and on. Teacher Lu couldn't stand it anymore and came out.
She gave Shen Qingqing a hard look. "You can't even handle this little thing. What else can you do?"
Shen Li was inside. It wasn't convenient for him to show up.
If it weren't for the hope of currying favor with Shen Li and letting him see how well they handled this funeral, they wouldn't have invited him.
If this young guy made such a fuss that everyone came to sell oranges and the entrance was crowded with people, and Shen Li was recognized, then she and her daughter would be finished.
"Please leave quickly," Teacher Lu said coldly.
The young guy looked at her with a big smile but didn't say a word.
Teacher Lu took a deep breath and took out the few large - denomination bills left in her wallet.
"It's impossible for me to buy all your oranges. This money is for your compensation. Go and sell your oranges somewhere else."
The young guy took the money and clicked his tongue twice.
"You're so stingy," he muttered. "It seems your family doesn't care much about the person who passed away. If it were me, I'd be willing to pay for ten carts of oranges, not just one."
The young guy directly returned the money to Teacher Lu. "I'm really sorry, but selling all the oranges in my cart is worth a lot more than this."
Teacher Lu stared at him with wide eyes.
No wonder Shen Qingqing had been trying to deal with him for so long but couldn't solve the problem. This guy was just so persistent!
"I think you're just trying to extort money!" Shen Qingqing was burning with anger. "Are you leaving or not? If not, I'll overturn your stall!"
The young guy still had a big smile on his face. "Look at you. You're pregnant. Why are you so angry? It's not good for your health."
"You!"
"He's right," a voice came from behind.
It was Shen Li's voice.
Teacher Lu turned around in surprise. Why did he come out?
Shen Li, contrary to his usual self, didn't try to hide. He walked straight up to the young guy and even greeted him cheerfully.
"I'm really sorry. It's my eldest son who passed away. My wife and daughter have been in low spirits for several days. They may have spoken a bit harshly. Please forgive them."
The young guy was a bit stunned for a moment.
According to Yun Fujin, this man was not an easy person to deal with. But now he was speaking so politely. He was completely different from the person Yun Fujin had described.
Similarly, Shen Qingqing and Teacher Lu also looked at Shen Li in surprise.
He never acknowledged their identities in public. Why today...
Teacher Lu was almost on the verge of crying with joy. Her eyes were full of tenderness and longing as she looked at Shen Li.
But Shen Qingqing felt that something was not quite right.
Shen Li's unusual behavior always made people feel that there might be some conspiracy.
But Teacher Lu was so happy now that Shen Qingqing couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope. Maybe they had handled the matter of getting rid of her elder brother so well that Shen Li had changed his opinion of them and was now willing to acknowledge them.
"So what's your idea?" the young guy quickly came to his senses and asked with a smile.
"I'll buy all the oranges in your cart," Shen Li said calmly. He put his arm around Teacher Lu's waist. "My wife is pregnant and about to give birth. With the funeral at home, she's been crying for several days. She's already sad. There's no need for her to get upset about other things."
