Chapter 258: Coward

Little Liuzi waved at Jing Yongjie, turned back to bolt the door, and incidentally had to take the sand gun leaning against the wall.

Jing Yongjie pushed He Yu Shui's bicycle into the second courtyard and saw the light on in the eldest brother-in-law's house facing the courtyard gate, with Yu Shui's crying faintly audible.

Knowing he had found the right place, he walked further in. When he entered the third gate, he saw someone standing in the courtyard looking at him, not knowing what it meant.

The First Master pulled the clothes draped over him, frowned, and looked at the young man who entered, asking, "Who are you?"

Jing Yongjie had changed his clothes after getting off work today, just to go out for a meal with Yu Shui.

But he didn't expect that halfway through the meal, as soon as he mentioned postponing the wedding, Yu Shui turned against him.

He wasn't wearing a police uniform, and he ran into someone's courtyard in the middle of the night, so he was prepared for people to ask.

"I'm Yu Shui's object, my name is Jing Yongjie, I'm here to find Yu Shui."

Only then did the First Master understand that it was a young couple having a disagreement.

Alright, this old man couldn't get involved in the affairs of young people.

Because the First Aunt and Qin Huairu were inside persuading her, the First Master waved at Jing Yongjie and said, "She's in Zhuzi's room, hurry in."

"Hey, thank you."

Jing Yongjie hurried two steps into the main room.

The First Master watched Jing Yongjie enter the room and turned to go home.

"Why are you still here? Go chase your deputy station manager!"

Jing Yongjie was hit by a cannonball from Yu Shui as soon as he entered the room.

"Brother, sorry to disturb you so late."

He first greeted Sha Zhu with a dry laugh, then looked at He Yu Shui, who was surrounded and persuaded by the First Aunt and Qin Huairu.

Sha Zhu had his left hand in his trouser pocket and pulled Jing Yongjie with his right hand, asking, "What's going on? Wasn't it agreed to get married on the first day of the Little New Year?"

Jing Yongjie looked at his prospective brother-in-law and didn't intend to explain much to Sha Zhu.

One reason was work confidentiality, and the other was because in Jing Yongjie's eyes, Sha Zhu didn't count as a person at all.

This was also why Yu Shui went home to see her brother later, while Jing Yongjie never came once.

Every time Sha Zhu had something at home, Yu Shui would say Jing Yongjie had a mission and was busy with work to save face.

How busy could a small policeman be? Not having time to visit relatives for decades?

Even the deputy station manager in the back courtyard wasn't busy every day.

It was nothing more than looking down on a useless brother-in-law who couldn't even find a wife.

Of course, there were also Yu Shui's reasons here.

"We were just discussing it, and she ran back as soon as I said one sentence."

Jing Yongjie sat on the chair Sha Zhu had just sat on and said, "I'm doing this for our future. Look at me, I've been a policeman, busy all day and not achieving results. I'm also thinking about making progress."

"Can you make progress like this? Huh? So I'm blocking your future? Stop talking, you go, we won't get married, you go be with your deputy station manager."

"Yu Shui, speak properly. Yongjie is here, what can't be said properly? Don't stab the lung tube."

Sha Zhu stood on the side and persuaded his sister.

He also saw that his prospective brother-in-law looked down on him. It was true, he was just a chef, and he had no help to give his sister and brother-in-law.

The family had no conditions to support Yu Shui, but who let their brother and sister have such an unreliable father? It was not easy to live until now.

Even this object was found by Yu Shui herself, and Sha Zhu didn't help at all.

So in persuading the feelings of the two, Sha Zhu couldn't say much.

"Yes, we're about to get married, no one wants this, right? You have to let your object speak too."

Qin Huairu and the First Aunt also persuaded He Yu Shui on the side.

Jing Yongjie got the opportunity and sat on the chair Sha Zhu had just sat on, saying, "I've been in the station for four years, and I've always charged to the front whenever there's a mission. My performance is absolutely enough, but I just lack an opportunity for promotion."

"I also explained to you the determination and strength of the station. If I can make a contribution in this mission, that's my opportunity for progress. If I become a deputy station manager, won't I have the time and ability to take care of the family?"

Sha Zhu nodded and said, "What Yongjie said is reasonable. Who doesn't want to make progress? If he makes progress, doesn't it count as your progress? Deputy station manager is good. Haven't you seen how relaxed the deputy station manager in the back courtyard is?"

Jing Yongjie didn't think about which deputy station manager Sha Zhu was talking about, thinking it was from another unit.

Could a station manager really come out of this courtyard?

I'm afraid it's from the neighborhood office or some small factory guesthouse.

He Yu Shui looked up at Jing Yongjie and said, "You only thought of yourself. Have you thought about me? We've already notified everyone about the wedding, how do you want me to explain it?"

"I'll explain, I'll explain one by one," Jing Yongjie promised He Yu Shui.

Sha Zhu also laughed and said, "There aren't many relatives on our side, no need for you to explain, I'll go say it, it's not a big deal, right?"

As he spoke, seeing Yu Shui's attitude soften, Qin Huairu also laughed and said, "A couple has to talk properly about everything. The days ahead are long, how can you get angry whenever you want?"

Yu Shui looked at Jing Yongjie and asked, "Then you say, when are we getting married?"

Jing Yongjie smiled awkwardly and said, "Yu Shui, look, our action doesn't have a set time, I don't know how long I'll be busy. Our station is also cooperating with the Jiaodaokou station, and Jiaodaokou is also cooperating with the Rolling Mill's action."

Sha Zhu heard it was the Rolling Mill's action, grinned, and said, "Alright, isn't this a coincidence? The deputy station manager of Jiaodaokou and the security section chief of the Rolling Mill live in our back courtyard. We have a good relationship, I'll take you to ask."

"Alright, so many people going over, don't let the back courtyard and middle courtyard sleep. I'll go see if he's asleep, if not, let him come over for a while."

Qin Huairu stood up and said, then walked out.

When she arrived at the back courtyard, she saw Li Xuewu's curtains were drawn, but she could still see the light from the cracks, knowing Li Xuewu hadn't slept yet.

She walked to the main door and tried the door with her hand. Sure enough, this bastard didn't lock the door again. Something almost happened last time, and he still hadn't changed this habit.

She opened the door and entered to look. The living room was already dark. Just as she came up from the entrance and was about to go inside, she saw Li Xuewu standing at the door of the inner room in pajamas, looking this way.

"Ah! You scared me to death!"

Qin Huairu was startled by Li Xuewu and couldn't help but scold angrily.

Li Xuewu grinned wickedly as if he had succeeded, "You weren't afraid of others seeing you, why are you breaking into a young man's door at night again?"

"Go to yours, you're still a young man?"

Qin Huairu saw Li Xuewu wearing pajamas and looking like he was about to sleep, so she said, "I'm not coming anymore, the Second Master is so annoying."

As she spoke, she walked close to Li Xuewu and looked inside. Seeing Li Xuewu blocking the door of the inner room, she asked, "What are you doing? Is someone inside?"

"Hehehe," Li Xuewu just laughed, but his eyes were very playful.

Qin Huairu leaned against Li Xuewu and looked inside. Seeing the quilt on the bed hadn't been spread yet, just some manuscript paper on the table.

Seeing the desk lamp was still on, she knew this bastard was writing an article, but why was there a gun on the desk?

"How can you be so timid and still come back from the south? And how did you catch people so fiercely?"

Facing Qin Huairu's teasing, Li Xuewu didn't care at all.

What was wrong with being timid? He was timid, the most timid.

"Those who are stubborn die, those who can swim drown, those who bark die, and only a coward like me came back. I'm the kind of person who secretly shoots black guns, hehehe."

Qin Huairu curled her lips, not believing a single punctuation mark of Li Xuewu's words in her eyes.

"What about catching thieves? You wouldn't say those people you caught sent themselves to your door, would you?"

"Hahahaha!"

Li Xuewu laughed twice and let Qin Huairu touch his abdominal muscles.

This woman didn't know why she liked touching his muscles.

"You really guessed it right. Those people took the initiative to send themselves to my door for me to catch. I couldn't catch them all, they were all kicking out with their feet, and even then, many of them slipped through the cracks."

"Slap!"

"Just be cheeky, sooner or later I'll die on your mouth," Qin Huairu touched enough and slapped Li Xuewu's abdominal muscles with her hand.

"Hey!"

Qin Huairu helped Li Xuewu tuck in his clothes and said, "Did you hear the movement in the middle courtyard? Yu Shui is back."

Li Xuewu leaned against the door frame and let Qin Huairu help him organize his clothes, saying lazily, "Not only did I hear it, I saw it when Yu Shui came back, just when I was walking back with Brother Zhuzi. What's wrong? You're not coming to spend the night?"

"Go to yours, what spending the night, I'm talking about serious business."

Li Xuewu looked down at Qin Huairu's hand and said, "Is this serious?"

Qin Huairu used some force and said, "Listen, Yu Shui cried and said the wedding was postponed, it seems like her object wants to participate in some mission, and it seems to be related to our neighborhood and our factory."

"Hmm???"

Hearing this, Li Xuewu frowned. Damn, Shen Fang is a propaganda cadre!

He really wanted to go home now and ask his grandmother if she knew this news.

Qin Huairu thought she had used too much force, so she let go and rubbed it, asking, "Does it hurt?"

"No, continue, what does her object want to do?"

Qin Huairu explained, "Her object said if they get married normally, they won't make it for this mission, and wants to postpone the wedding, saying our neighborhood has a deputy station manager quota, and he wants to make progress."

"Hehehe," Li Xuewu laughed twice. He didn't expect Shen Fang to know how to play fishing, but the method of spreading the bait was a bit damp.

Qin Huairu didn't understand Li Xuewu's smile.

Knowing he wasn't talking to her, she continued to explain, "This isn't it, Yu Shui asked when they can get married, her object said he didn't know, Sha Zhu said you might know, wanted to ask you, I thought it wasn't convenient at night, so I didn't let them come over."

"What do I know? I said criminals jumped into my hands themselves, you really believe there are such stupid people?"

"Go to yours, I'm asking you, aren't I?"

Seeing Li Xuewu hesitate, Qin Huairu persuaded again, "Yu Shui's personality is stubborn. If there's no definite word, these two don't know how long they'll make trouble tonight. You have such a good relationship with Sha Zhu, why can't you give a definite word?"

Li Xuewu frowned at Qin Huairu and said, "You think the police station is opened by my family? That's a discipline unit."

This was Li Xuewu's personality. He played around in life, but he was very disciplined and principled in work.

"In this way, since Brother Zhuzi said it, don't let him lose face in front of his brother-in-law. You let Yu Shui and her object come over for a while, just say I invited them, just bring the two of them."

"Am I still coming?"

Qin Huairu saw Li Xuewu agreed, let go, helped Li Xuewu organize his clothes, and asked, "Then am I still coming?"

Li Xuewu turned back to close the door, then turned on the living room light, "What do you think? Both must come!"

Qin Huairu scolded Li Xuewu and went out.

During the time Qin Huairu came to find Li Xuewu, Jing Yongjie had already asked Sha Zhu who the "idle" deputy station manager in the back courtyard was.

Sha Zhu had been mixing in the inverted-seat room for so many days, of course he knew the actual situation on Li Xuewu's side, so he didn't hide it from his brother-in-law and said "lightly" Li Xuewu's position.

"Just a childhood friend who plays well, my younger brother, now the security section chief of the Rolling Mill, and also the deputy station manager of our Jiaodaokou."

This gave Jing Yongjie a shock. He didn't expect there was really a big shot in this broken courtyard.

Thinking about it, wasn't this the one his station manager said he had to cooperate with?

Alright, seeing his brother-in-law had such a relationship with this one, he really had to pay attention to his attitude toward his brother-in-law in the future.

Sha Zhu was proud of his brother-in-law's change toward him, and laughed, "He's just like that, he changes into pajamas when he gets home. He has a great relationship with me, just go over if he invited you."

He Yu Shui was also confused. She hadn't heard that her brother had such a strong relationship with the little demon in the front courtyard before.

Sha Zhu also wanted to say, just strong.

Hearing Li Xuewu didn't invite him, Sha Zhu was also stunned.

Thinking this was solving his sister's problem, how could he care about this, so he said to the two, "He's just like that, he changes into pajamas when he gets home. He has a great relationship with me, just go over."

He Yu Shui didn't expect that because of her own affairs, she had tossed so many people, apologized to the First Aunt, and took Jing Yongjie to the back courtyard.

Qin Huairu poked Sha Zhu when she went out and whispered, "Don't overthink it, Li Xuewu seems to want to talk about the police station."

"I know, you go with them, help me look after Yu Shui."

"Alright, you wait in the room."

Qin Huairu said and followed them to the back courtyard.

When they entered the room, whether it was Jing Yongjie, who came from a small cadre family, or Yu Shui, who worked in the Women's Federation, they were shocked by the decoration of Li Xuewu's house.

They didn't expect that the house, which looked no different from their own from the outside, could be decorated so neatly inside.

"Sister Yu Shui, come in and sit. We haven't officially chatted since I came back. This is your object, right? Hello."

Li Xuewu politely greeted Yu Shui and also greeted Jing Yongjie who came in.

Both were a bit uncomfortable, but Qin Huairu, who came in later, smiled and pushed Yu Shui inside, pressing her to sit on the sofa.

Jing Yongjie also followed He Yu Shui into the living room and sat down.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Yu Shui doesn't come back often, and you are busy all day, it's strange if you can meet. Today is just a coincidence."

As she spoke, she had already poured hot water for Yu Shui and Jing Yongjie.

"Thank you, Sister Qin."

"Thank you."

Both thanked her and politely looked at Li Xuewu.

Jing Yongjie saw that this person, who was younger than both of them, was actually the security section chief and deputy station manager of the police station.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that this person was actually wearing a simple set of pajamas at home to receive them.

Qin Huairu smiled and sat on the other end of the sofa, "You don't come back often, so you don't know that Li Xuewu has a very good relationship with the neighbors in our courtyard, so he is very casual, they are all neighbors living here, right?"

Li Xuewu nodded with a smile, then picked up the cigarettes on the coffee table and gestured to Jing Yongjie.

Jing Yongjie waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Li Ke, I don't smoke."

"Hehehe," Li Xuewu didn't care about Jing Yongjie's attitude, smiled and said, "Few policemen don't smoke. Your station manager Duan is an old smoker."

Seeing Li Xuewu bring up the topic, Jing Yongjie asked directly, "Did our station manager say the mission is to cooperate with your action?"

Jing Yongjie waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Li Ke, I don't smoke."

Li Xuewu was afraid of such people participating in cases. Before they even handled the case, everyone sweeping the road on the street would know there was an action, then how could they handle the case?

Seeing Li Xuewu frown, He Yu Shui knew her object asked the wrong question, whispered, "Xuewu, look, because of his affairs, our wedding has to be postponed. If it's convenient, can you tell us when it's appropriate to prepare for the wedding?"

"Hehehe,"

Li Xuewu couldn't laugh or cry, "You're taking me as a fortune teller? Still want to calculate an auspicious day? Hehehe."

Seeing He Yu Shui still wanted to talk, Li Xuewu waved his hand to stop her, then said, "I invited you here because of the friendship between Brother Zhuzi and me, and I don't want to see you have conflicts."

"I'll tell you the truth, it's possible to wait until after the Lunar New Year or even the middle of the year. This is a normalized action, so you have to be mentally prepared to be a policeman's family member."

Hearing Li Xuewu's words, Jing Yongjie and Yu Shui were surprised. They didn't expect the case to take so long.

Yu Shui looked at Jing Yongjie and asked, "Do you still want to insist on your idea?"

Jing Yongjie looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Can you tell me how this action is normalized? I want to see if it's worth delaying my marriage."

When this question was asked, Qin Huairu's face paused, knowing this bastard was going to turn sour, so she hurriedly winked at Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes and looked at Jing Yongjie, "This is the second reason I invited you."

"I don't know how many years you've been in the police station, and I don't know why you are so active in asking for progress, and so hesitant and sentimental. But based on your current approach and performance, I dare say this policeman is unqualified."

"Li Ke, you..."

Li Xuewu interrupted Jing Yongjie, "Didn't your station manager say to keep it secret? If he didn't say it, you tell him tomorrow, I, Li Xuewu, said it, let him resign himself, otherwise I'll make him roll away the next day!"

Seeing Li Xuewu get angry, the other three in the room were silent as cicadas in winter.

Qin Huairu knew it was going to be bad, wanted to stop him but couldn't, and didn't dare to stop him.

This bastard's face changed as soon as he said it, and no one could handle it.

He Yu Shui was also scared, still thinking Li Xuewu was the little demon in her impression.

Even if she learned from her brother's words that Li Xuewu had made progress, she thought it was the credit he brought back from the south.

Now she didn't expect Li Xuewu to be so fierce when he got angry, and his momentum was so scary.

Jing Yongjie was the party sprayed by Li Xuewu, and his reaction was bigger than Yu Shui's.

He didn't expect this deputy station manager of Jiaodaokou to be so awesome, daring to call his station manager to step down.

"If you are like this, you can handle cases? I advise you to marry Yu Shui as soon as possible, don't waste time, honestly be your policeman, how is that not serving the people?"

Jing Yongjie was older than Li Xuewu, and he was sprayed red-faced by Li Xuewu's mockery.

He knew from his brother-in-law that Li Xuewu had just demobilized and returned, and like Yu Shui, he thought Li Xuewu's position as section chief and deputy station manager was all due to his merits on the battlefield.

Now he just lacked an opportunity, if he could help "Li Xuewu, who didn't understand business," handle business, wouldn't this opportunity come?

Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to perform, but he never expected to perform a mess and touch Li Xuewu's minefield.

"Xuewu, don't be angry, we won't talk nonsense, just asking about the time."

Seeing Yu Shui's attitude soften, Li Xuewu turned to He Yu Shui and said, "We are all neighbors, and my relationship with your brother is a good friend. What I said is not criticizing anyone, but this is indeed the truth, and it is also an attitude of being responsible for you, your object, and work."

Qin Huairu also persuaded, "Yu Shui, we don't understand the police station's affairs, but I understand what Li Xuewu said. If you really want to make progress, support each other and give Jing Yongjie a space and environment for work."

Qin Huairu brought the awkward two back, and now it depended on how Yu Shui and Jing Yongjie thought.

Yu Shui looked at Jing Yongjie, wanting to hear what her object had to say.

Jing Yongjie stood up and saluted Li Xuewu, "Not observing the confidentiality system is my work negligence, please forgive me."

Li Xuewu saw Jing Yongjie's attitude was correct, stood up and reached out to shake hands, "Not wearing military uniform, so I won't salute. My name is Li Xuewu, security section chief of the Rolling Mill, and also deputy station manager of Jiaodaokou."

Jing Yongjie took Li Xuewu's hand and shook it, saying, "My name is Jing Yongjie, a policeman at the Beixinqiao station, I've heard your name."

Li Xuewu waved his hand to signal Jing Yongjie to sit down, "Sit, sit, I've met your station manager Duan and dealt with him."

"Yes, I heard your name from Station Manager Duan."

Li Xuewu showed a smiling face again, "Then he must not have said anything good about me, hahaha."

Jing Yongjie waved his hand nervously, "No, no, how could that be."

"Just joking."

Li Xuewu smiled and replied, then looked at He Yu Shui and said, "Why don't men carry Wu hooks to recover the fifty states of Guanshan? Which man doesn't have ambition? Are you going to manage him for a lifetime?"

"Look at Jing Yongjie, he won't make you 'regret teaching your husband to seek a marquis,' right? Hehehe."

"How could that be? Looking at Yongjie, he's a decent person." Here, Qin Huairu saw the bastard who was happy and angry reveal his words, and also helped.

He Yu Shui looked at Li Xuewu, then at Jing Yongjie, and already knew Li Xuewu's meaning, so she complained, "Him? Just looks honest."

"Yu Shui," Jing Yongjie called out, then said, "I promise you, I will work hard and strive for the opportunity to make progress. After this case ends, whether I make progress or not, we will get married, I promise."

"You promise?"

"Promise."

Yu Shui saw her object's attitude was indeed okay, and was scared by Li Xuewu, so she could only nod, "Then you go explain to your relatives and my colleagues."

Seeing Yu Shui stand up, Jing Yongjie knew this pass was passed, and stood up and said, "Don't worry, if I don't have time, I'll let my parents go say it."

"Just like that." Yu Shui glared at Jing Yongjie, then looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Xuewu, sorry to trouble you today."

Li Xuewu also stood up and nodded, "What are you saying? I didn't ask your brother to come over because I wanted to explain this matter to you clearly. If your brother was here, I wouldn't be able to say it."

"I understand."

Sending Yu Shui and Qin Huairu out of the entrance, Li Xuewu pulled Jing Yongjie and signaled him to wait.

Watching Qin Huairu and Yu Shui walk past the moon gate, Li Xuewu asked, "I'll ask you something, do you have people named Old Song and Xiao Mi in your station?"

"Yes, you mean Song Zhijian and Mi..."

"Hmm, hmm, hmm," Li Xuewu interrupted Jing Yongjie and asked with a smile, "Have they been in solitary confinement recently?"

"This..."

Looking at Jing Yongjie's vague appearance, Li Xuewu waved his hand with a smile, "Alright, go back, it's too late, rest early, have to go to work tomorrow."

"Okay, goodbye Station Manager Li."

Jing Yongjie waved at Li Xuewu and left.

Li Xuewu kept a smiling expression until Jing Yongjie passed the moon gate.

"Duan Youting, broken and stopped, hehehe."

When Jing Yongjie returned to the middle courtyard, he only saw He Yu Shui and Sha Zhu waiting for him in the room.

"Why are you back now? What did he say to you?" Yu Shui stood in the room and asked Jing Yongjie.

"Oh, nothing, just some things in the station."

Yu Shui looked at the embarrassed Jing Yongjie and said, "Who wants to ask you, you've learned to keep secrets now, you go back, I'll clean up the wedding room tomorrow."

"I know, Brother, then I'll go back."

Sha Zhu smiled at his prospective brother-in-law and said, "Go, I'll see you off."

As he spoke, he hugged his quilt and went out.

Because Yu Shui returned, Yu Shui's house was lent to Yu Li, so Sha Zhu could only go to the inverted-seat room to sleep.

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhuzi, I borrowed your house and made you have no place to sleep."

Sha Zhu waved his hand, "It's fine, I have a reason to sleep on this warm bed, hehehe."

Yan Jiecheng in the inner room also came out to be polite and helped Sha Zhu carry his luggage.

Seeing the men in the inverted-seat room were about to rest, Yu Li returned to Yu Shui's house in the middle courtyard.

The courtyard was noisy with people coming and going, who noticed Li Xuewu's house had one more person?

Round your own dreams, extinguish the fire you started.

Early the next morning, Li Xuewu was woken up by Old Biaozi.

Because there was no alarm clock, he specifically told Old Biaozi, who often got up early, to come and wake him up.

He woke up, put on his uniform and coat, put on his leather shoes, and walked to the front courtyard.

Because he had to hurry, it was really cold without the sun in the morning.

Li Xuewu even sneezed when he went out.

Looking at the lights in every family's small kitchen and smelling the firewood smoke in the courtyard, Li Xuewu felt his nose itching.

Winter is like this, the air is dry, and it's uncomfortable to encounter a little smoke.

Entering the inverted-seat room, those who didn't have morning tasks were already up. Old Biaozi, who came back after waking Li Xuewu, was combing his hair in a 3-7 part.

The hair was good hair, but with a big pancake face, it looked like a translator no matter how you looked at it.

Shen Guodong and Erhai weren't so vain, just cleaned themselves up, changed into the military coat they bought when they were "poor and suddenly rich," and would wear a Dehua-style military coat when they set off.

Wen Saner grabbed the bucket from Yan Jiecheng's hand and said, "Hurry up and eat, I'll help you add water to the car. You are in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry today."

As he spoke, he took a ladle and scooped hot water from the pot, preparing to add it to the water tanks of the two cars.

The cold car in winter is troublesome. Erhai joked that this iron ox is like the grandfather's horse, both need to drink warm water.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng sit down to eat, Old Biaozi joked, "Looking at what Third Uncle said, actually, heh, he's more anxious than anyone, wishing he could go to Mao'er Hutong now."

"Get lost, if you're full, come and carry water." Wen Saner turned and scolded.

Old Biaozi didn't care about his uncle's scolding, continued to tease, "If you're too shy to say it, wait for me to come back and I'll say it for you. I haven't been a matchmaker yet."

Wen Saner carried the bucket and walked out, reaching out and rubbing Old Biaozi's head when he passed by.

Well, he looked like a translator just now, but now he's a pig head.

"Third Uncle, because of this, you wait, I won't let you rest on your wedding night."

Wen Saner glared at Old Biaozi angrily, but didn't dare to clean up Old Biaozi anymore.

Knowing his nephew wasn't a good cake, if he really offended him, then don't have a wedding night, the couple would squat on the bed and watch the thief, maybe they would sneak out to watch.

Listening to their bickering, Li Xuewu's spirit slowly came back.

Full and satisfied, he put on his military coat and took everyone to the west courtyard.

"Li Kezhang, how to drive?" Yan Jiecheng looked at Li Xuewu and asked.

There were two cars now, one was the security section's 212 Jeep, and one was Li Xuewu's own Willys.

"What do you mean how to drive? You haven't tried the American-made field Jeep, right? Limited edition, collector's edition, go try it, enrich your experience, and follow behind me with them."

After Li Xuewu finished speaking, he jumped onto the 212 Jeep, started the fire, and drove out of the west courtyard gate.

"Don't stand there like a fool, my sergeant," Old Biaozi patted Yan Jiecheng's shoulder in the tone of an American ghost, "We have to reach Hancheng before dark."

"You're confused by watching movies, reach Hancheng before dark, damn, we have to grow two wings."

"Hahaha!"

The four jumped onto the Jeep and followed the 212 out of the west courtyard.

When they arrived at the Rolling Mill, Li Xuewu met Vice Factory Director Li's car and Fu Bin's car in the courtyard, and called two more security squad members to get on the car, which was an emergency force.

Li Xuewu gave up the steering wheel and went to the back seat as expected.

Damn, driving at this time is really a hard job.

Just as the car was about to start, Sun Jia ran over with a female comrade.

He opened the back cabin door of the 212 Jeep and said to Li Xuewu, "Li Ke, one person was added temporarily, there's no room, is it okay to arrange a comrade in your car?"

Li Xuewu nodded, "Okay, come up."

"Hey."

Sun Jia turned and said to the female comrade behind him, "Haitang, you

Upon arriving at the steel mill, Li Xuewu went to the courtyard to meet up with Vice Factory Director Li's car and Fu Bin's car, and called two more members of the security team to get in, which counted as an emergency force.

Li Xuewu, unsurprisingly, gave up the driver's seat and went to the back seat.

Damn it, driving at a time like this is really a strenuous job.

Just as the car was about to start, Sun Jia ran over with a female comrade.

She opened the rear cabin door of the 212 Jeep, faced Li Xuewu, and said, "Li Ke, one person was added temporarily, and there's no more room. Is it okay to arrange for one comrade to sit in your car?"

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "Okay, get on."

"Okay."

Sun Jia turned around and said to the female comrade behind her, "Haitang, you get in Li Ke's car, let's set off quickly."

"Okay, Li Kezhang Sun."

Yu Haitang grabbed the handle of the 212 and got into the car.

It wasn't until she got in that she realized she had boarded the car of Li Ke Xuewu of the Security Section.

Yu Haitang's heart skipped a beat; the rumors about this Li Ke had been flying everywhere for the past two days.

Li Xuewu also hadn't expected that the person getting in would be a tall, slender female comrade, and only after looking closely did he recognize who it was.

But the two had never met, so they just nodded and didn't speak again.

The motorcade sped up after leaving the steel mill's main gate.

At the front of the motorcade was a sidecar motorcycle from the Security Section, followed by Fu Bin's Jeep, carrying administrative staff.

Behind Fu Bin's car was Li Huai De's car, carrying secretary Sun Jia and another secretary carrying a camera.

Behind that was Li Xuewu's car, carrying two security team members and Yu Haitang.

Yan Jiecheng drove Li Xuewu's Willys at the very back.

He didn't ask Lao Biaozi and the others to sit in the 212 because this was a formal event, and the steel mill's car certainly couldn't be used for the recycling station.

So even if he was driving a semi-convertible Willys, he had to drive his own car over.

This is called a small temple with a big wind; you have to make the most of what you have.

Isn't a semi-convertible still four-wheeled? It's enough for the recycling station's image.

At a major intersection, this motorcade met up with the car of Ji Wang Weidong from the Investigation Department, the street office's Jeep, and the car from the Huaqing Security Section.

The procession grew longer and headed straight into the Miyun mountainous area.

Yu Haitang, who was originally in the car, had been guarding against Li Xuewu, thinking that Li Xuewu must be the kind of person who messes around with men and women as described in the whistleblower letters.

Unexpectedly, apart from using the walkie-talkie to coordinate the route with the sidecar at the front, Li Xuewu remained silent the whole time.

Even the two people in the cockpit were silent and didn't speak.

This actually made Yu Haitang feel uncomfortable. What's wrong? Am I not as good as those seductive vixens in the whistleblower letters?

Li Xuewu, however, had no intention of paying attention to Yu Haitang, keeping his hand on the walkie-talkie and maintaining contact with the sidecar in front from time to time.

This time was a major networking event for Li Xuewu's connections; if done well, it would have a ripple effect.

The village had never seen such a large motorcade; the villagers all came out to watch the excitement, and the village children even ran along the side of the road following the motorcade.

When they arrived at the base at the foot of the mountain, they saw that construction had already begun on-site.

Li Xuewu got out of the car and walked quickly for a few steps to open the door for Li Huai De.

Yin Mancang had already directed the villagers to applaud.

This wasn't like later generations where a bunch of elementary school students would wear school uniforms, paint their cheeks red, hold colorful flowers, and shout "Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome."

Not to mention how awkward the effect is, it also wastes the students' study time; whoever comes up with such flashy nonsense is damn well wicked—wicked to the core.

What was welcoming them now was a group of villagers who were working, with shovels stuck in the ground beside them and pickaxes in their hands, applauding.

This applause was no less sincere than that of the elementary school students; in fact, it seemed even more genuine.

How could it not be genuine? Good heavens, the day before yesterday, they had actually hauled back over a dozen large trucks of cement and steel bars; this really looked like a major construction project.

Seeing so many cars drive up today, they felt even more that this village cadre was really not serving in vain; he was truly getting things done.

Even if Secretary Yin kicked them a couple of times, they wouldn't have anything to say.

"Oh my, welcome, leaders, to our Red Star Village."

Li Huai De had met Yin Mancang before, so seeing him come up to greet them, he also enthusiastically replied, "Secretary Yin, I hope you've been well."

"I've been well, I've been well, hahaha. Leaders, you've had a hard journey coming from afar. Let's go over here to sit and drink some water."

Yin Mancang pointed to a temporary shed on the training base site under construction, which was used for communal meals, boiling water, and temporary rest.

Because there was a stove inside keeping the fire going, the shed, which was drafty on all four sides, wasn't considered cold.

Only Li Xuewu knew the heads of all the units, so after everyone entered the shed, Li Xuewu began to introduce them to everyone.

"This is Vice Factory Director Li Huai De from our steel mill, and this is Li Kezhang Fu Bin from the Security Department."

"This is Comrade Ji Wang Weidong from the Investigation Department."

After introducing Ji Wang Weidong, Li Xuewu looked at his clan uncle and was surprised that Li Kezhang Wu Youqing from Huaqing hadn't come by himself, but had also invited Li Congyun.

"This is Vice President Li Congyun from Huaqing University, and this is Li Kezhang Wu Youqing from the Huaqing Security Section."

When introducing the street office, he noticed that Shen Fang and Duan Youting were both standing behind a short, stout middle-aged man; this must be a leader from the bureau.

Not wanting to make things difficult for Li Xuewu, Shen Fang introduced with a smile, "This is Deputy Director Zheng Fuhua from our Dongcheng Branch, this is Li Kezhang Duan Youting from the Beixinqiao section in Dongcheng, and I am Shen Fang, the section chief of Jiaodaokou."
