Chapter 731: This Truly Shows Even an Iron Man Can Be Gentle as Silk Around a Finger
After connecting the call, Liu Chuxue got straight to the point: "Xiao Wan, we have some matters to handle here and might not be able to return to the farm until later. My cousin is still at my sister's place; I'm afraid they'll worry, so please do me a favor and run over there to let them know."
"Besides, it might be very late. Ask my sister to arrange a place for my cousin to stay. Also, tell my sister to have my brother-in-law stay alert tonight. Once we finish our business, we'll likely rush back to the city overnight, and we'll need to call for the gate to be opened to bring my cousin back to the city then."
Before making this call, she actually felt some regret; she should have let her cousin take the slaughterhouse truck back to the city, which would have saved a lot of trouble, but at the time she hadn't expected to draw out so much information.
Fu Yanwan usually appeared lively in personality but was not an impulsive person; she didn't pry into the situation but assured Liu Chuxue, "Fourth Sister-in-law, rest assured. As soon as I hang up, I'll go to Sister Xia Qiu's house to deliver the message and ensure she feels at ease."
While waiting, she happened to grab a dinner at the breeding farm.
Jiang Minggang even paid out of his own pocket to add a dish of braised chicken with potatoes for them.
Seeing the dishes on the table, Liu Chuxue said, "Comrade Jiang, you've really spent too much. One day when you return to the city, Fu Yan Cheng and I will treat you."
"Hey, since you rarely come here, I must fulfill my duty as a host, right? Besides, Yan Cheng and I are good brothers. Try it quickly and see how it tastes."
Fu Yan Cheng knew Liu Chuxue didn't like chicken skin; before eating, he picked out several pieces of chicken meat and put them into her bowl: "Eat."
Afterwards, he occasionally used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of skinless meat and place it in her bowl. Seeing this action, Jiang Minggang knew this wasn't the first time; his eyes were full of mockery: This truly shows even a iron man can be gentle as silk around a finger. Brother, you're amazing.
The military unit acted quickly; not long after the meal, someone arrived with professional equipment.
Liu Chuxue recounted the previous events in full detail once again. After the military side made a record, they asked a few questions, and then she had no further involvement.
Afterwards, Liu Chuxue waited in Jiang Minggang's office the whole time.
Meanwhile, Fu Yan Cheng had gone with their regiment commander to interrogate Jiang Huiwen.
Perhaps due to professional training, even with the transcript Liu Chuxue provided, Jiang Huiwen's mind was clear now; no matter how they questioned her, she stubbornly refused to admit anything.
Seeing that there was still no news from that side and noticing she was the only one in the office, Liu Chuxue leaned on the table pretending to take a short nap, while her consciousness entered the space.
Seeing the crops she had planted earlier had matured, she harvested a batch first, then gathered the vegetables nearby that were ready and stored them in the warehouse.
As for the chicken, duck, and eggs, except for those kept for breeding, she stored everything else.
However, she left a small basket in the kitchen; after washing them, she added soy sauce, tea leaves, and Sichuan peppercorns, preparing to boil more in advance for her own extra meals.
Nowadays, more than half of the fields are planted with medicinal herbs, so she can harvest them every once in a while; in a few years when they are older, she won't worry about failing to sell them at a high price.
The ginseng seedlings and ginseng seeds planted earlier have already formed a small scale, which is pleasing to the eye.
After everything in the space was handled, Liu Chuxue finally exited the space.
She found that she was still the only one in the office, so she naturally released her spiritual sense to look at the confinement room temporarily serving as the interrogation room.
Before she could even clearly see the situation over there, the office phone rang, startling her directly.
Fortunately, her reaction was fast enough; she shouted towards the outside, "Director Jiang, the phone."
Jiang Minggang hadn't gone far anyway and naturally heard the phone ringing; he walked in quickly: "This is Jiang Minggang."
