Chapter 31

Lu Qiaoge didn't expect that it would really be demolished.

She couldn't help but look at Old Lu, who was drinking tea under the jujube tree.

Old Lu shook his head secretly at her.

Lu Qiaoge understood; this was something he didn't want people to know, not even family members.

Lu Da took it all upon himself.

At this time, it was already a scene of ten thousand lights, but one could see smoke billowing in the distance.

That location should be the location of the warehouse.

And it was also at this time that in a household on the second floor of the No. 32 dormitory building, several plainclothes officers with solemn expressions broke in and pressed the two men who were preparing to flee in a panic onto the floor...

And at this moment, at a certain warehouse, the precision demolition was successful. Facing the warehouse that was now a ruin, Qin Hengzhi's expression was cold, his sharp gaze fixed on one spot.

An iron object that looked like a gear revealed a corner from the blown-apart big iron door.

Old Jia, the section chief of the Security Department, pointed at the gate in shock, unable to speak for a long time.

The warehouse gate was wrapped in thick iron, the kind from a very long time ago, and even the rivets were bronze-colored.

It had been tested at the time, and the composition was normal. Who could have imagined that there were such ingenious mechanisms inside?

Qin Hengzhi looked at the broken hinges of the gate, where countless tough steel wires and copper wires were hidden. He couldn't help but marvel at the designer's superb craftsmanship.

There is a saying that is correct: there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens. A person's life is spent in constant learning.

Master Lu has performed a great service this time.

But he promised to keep it secret for Master Lu, so he could only reward him in secret.

Lu Qiaoge also breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the time, it was only past seven, so she decided to go to the Qi family to take a look.

Just now, Naughty Yan came and told her that in the afternoon, the Old Li family next door quarreled with Qi Shuang, mainly saying that Naughty Yan was a thief, making people uneasy, and that it would be better to just poke the swallow's nest down.

Swallows are also auspicious birds, and whoever's house they build a nest in, that family likes them.

There is no reason to poke it down.

Especially for the elderly, who actually believe in these things, so Lu Qiaoge decided to go and see.

She didn't know that the voting results from the Neighborhood Committee had already come out.

There was no suspense, no twists and turns, and no one was jealous of her talent. Nowadays, cadres working at the grassroots level are basically very pragmatic. Thus, Lu Qiaoge passed the recruitment exam with the first-place voting result.

She could go through the entry procedures tomorrow.

Huang Juan went to the Lu family in high spirits, and then just happened to miss Lu Qiaoge, who had gone to the Qi family.

And Lu Qiaoge walked fast, and before long, she arrived at Qi Shuang's house with the tabby cat.

Nowadays, Qi Shuang lives alone.

At this time, there were many people outside. It had been a bit sultry these past few days, so there were many people outside cooling off.

At this moment, in Qi Shuang's courtyard, Qi Shuang was talking nicely to the second daughter-in-law of Old Mrs. Li.

"Sister Cui, what I mean is that there are still bird eggs in the swallow's nest, and they seem to be about to hatch. Once they all come out and can fly, they will naturally fly away."

Cui Min leaned against the wall, her face gloomy and implying something: "You know someone even suspected that I deliberately put the gold ring into the swallow's nest, so I'll just prove it to her."

In a few words, Lu Qiaoge understood.

Old Mrs. Li's face didn't look good either: "Cui Min, you've been giving me the cold shoulder these past few days and ignoring me. I was just saying it casually, but you're good, you're making a mountain out of a molehill, and you even want to tear down the swallow's nest. You're really something."

"Am I making a mountain out of a molehill? It was clearly the swallow that stole the gold ring; everyone saw it with their own eyes. I thought this matter was over, but you're good; you told your youngest son that I have many schemes, and it might have been me who stole it and put it in the swallow's nest. Is that how you talk? Is that how you act as an elder? Do you want me to jump into the river and die to prove my innocence?"

Facing Cui Min's hysterical questioning, Old Mrs. Li's face flushed red: "I was just saying it casually; I really didn't think that way."

"I'm not the only one living in your Old Li family; there's also your eldest son's family. Why do you say that about me? Li Zhenhui, come out here. Tell me if we can still live like this; if not, let's divorce!"

Li Zhenhui, caught in the middle, had wanted to come out long ago, but what could he do?

He swore to heaven that his mother was just saying it casually, but it happened that his wife heard it.

Not only did she flip over the dining table where everyone was eating just now, but she also ran to the Qi family to poke the swallow's nest.

"Can you stop arguing, please?" Li Zhenhui shouted, standing at the gate while grabbing his hair.

However, no one took his words seriously.

Old Mrs. Li and Cui Min started arguing again.

Qi Shuang looked helplessly at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were arguing, while Lu Qiaoge was looking at the two swallows huddled together shivering in the swallow's nest.

At this moment, they were so scared that they didn't even have any inner voices.

The tabby cat didn't go up; there were too many people and bear children, which it didn't like. So, it jumped onto the nearby courtyard wall, but it also told Lu Qiaoge that it couldn't communicate with Naughty Yan.

The next moment, Cui Min, who was annoyed and ashamed, took a bamboo pole and was about to poke the swallow's nest. She was like a madwoman: "This is the culprit. Without it, today's incident wouldn't have happened. Don't blame me for everything that goes missing in the future. Even if it's found, you can still close your eyes and say I stole it and put it inside."

Some onlookers went to stop her. This was a bit outrageous; there weren't many swallows building nests in the city to begin with, and poking it down for no reason was just sick, right?

Old Mrs. Li was so angry that she clutched her chest and said she felt uncomfortable.

Several children were jumping around, and one of them shouted excitedly: "Auntie, Auntie, can I poke it? I want to eat roasted bird eggs."

Qi Shuang couldn't stop her, and didn't dare to stop her.

If she angered Cui Min, and Cui Min turned around and falsely accused her of stealing it and putting it in the swallow's nest, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even with a hundred mouths.

Old Mrs. Li had a very bad mouth, and Cui Min's temper wasn't great either.

Qi Shuang had to take a few steps back.

The two swallows in the swallow's nest still had no inner voices, as if their human brains were blank. They didn't see Lu Qiaoge either, and huddled in the nest like fools, guarding the three eggs, not even knowing how to fly out.

Lu Qiaoge had to push through the crowd and grab Cui Min, who was really going to poke the swallow's nest.

She had great strength; the few women who had been pulling at Cui Min just now were all shaken off by Cui Min, but they couldn't break free from Lu Qiaoge.

She grabbed Cui Min's arm and said with a smile: "Sister Cui, you're right; the swallow is indeed the culprit. I support you on this point."

First, it was affirmation, not persuasion, and plus Lu Qiaoge was good-looking and had a crisp, pleasant voice, so Cui Min's anger was extinguished by a few degrees.

Lu Qiaoge took the opportunity to take down her bamboo pole and handed it to Qi Shuang, who had walked over.

Lu Qiaoge said again: "Sister Qi, let's move the swallow's nest."

Qi Shuang was stunned for a moment and asked: "Where do you plan to move it to?"

And at this moment, the two swallows in the swallow's nest finally came to their senses. Seeing that it was Lu Qiaoge who had come, it was as if they had seen a savior.

【Sob sob sob, save us.】

【We'll move, we'll move immediately.】

【Sob sob sob, can we go to your house?】

Lu Qiaoge heard the swallows' weeping from their voices.

She comforted the two swallows in her heart: "It's okay, I'll take you away immediately."

Lu Qiaoge said softly to Cui Min: "Sister Cui, I'll move the swallow's nest in a while, so don't be angry anymore."
