Just after dinner that night, a convoy suddenly rushed out of Stronghold 144's garrison camp and headed straight for the stronghold not far away.
The Northwest strongholds were not closed at night. The garrison troops rotated in three shifts, and they were allowed to pass as long as they were not carrying any prohibited items on them. It didn't matter if they were refugees or stronghold residents.
Inside the stronghold, there were also a large number of patrols and Public Order Division police to maintain order.
In order to maintain internal security, the Northwest had even set up a hotline for reports. As long as you called to report a crime, the Administrative Centre would promise that the Public Order Division's personnel would arrive within 15 minutes to solve the problem.
The garrison troops had already received a call from the garrison troops. When they saw Zhang Xiaoman's vehicle, they immediately let him pass. However, everyone could not understand why Brigadier Chang would suddenly enter the city at night.
In the past, Zhang Xiaoman would never enter the city at this time.
Zhang Xiaoman was very fast, but there were others who were even faster than him.
At this moment, Sister Hu was sitting at Ren Xiaosu's house and nagging, "I didn't want to say this before, but I really can't hold it in today. Xiaomi, can't you feel sorry for Miss Xiaojin too? Look at how hard it must be for her to carry such a big basket of potatoes to the market by herself. But what about you? You lost your job after just one day of work!
"It's not that I have to poke my nose into this, but look, everyone feels sorry for Miss Xiaojin. Don't you feel sorry for her?"
Off to the side, Yang Xiaojin pursed her lips to stifle her laughter. Big Sister Hu looked at her angrily. "Seriously, you're too indulgent of him. If you hadn't spoiled him, he wouldn't have been so lazy!"
Ren Xiaosu explained patiently, "It's like this, Sister Hu. Our family still has some savings, so I think it's not a problem for me to stay idle for a while longer."
When Sister Hu heard this, she raised her eyebrows. "What? Are you trying to eat your way out? Most importantly, you do nothing at home every day. Miss Xiaojin is so tired that calluses have probably formed on her hands! "
Sister Hu then reached out to grab Yang Xiaojin's hand. She was stunned because Yang Xiaojin's fingers were as smooth and soft as ever. There were no calluses at all …
Yang Xiaojin said with a smile, "Sister Hu, don't worry so much. We know what we're doing. He's really powerful. He just wants to rest for a while."
Sister Hu was a little annoyed. "Forget it, forget it. I was being nosy."
With that said, Sister Hu walked outside. "You guys are still young. You don't know how much money you'll need in the future."
Sister Hu went home. Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin walked her to the door.
However, before Sister Hu could enter her house, she heard the roar of an engine on East Anning Road. It was as if someone was driving a car at high speed on the street.
The sudden sound made many neighbors poke their heads out of their windows to take a look. Sister Hu also stopped in her tracks in confusion, wanting to see what was going on.
Then, Sister Hu was surprised to see a black motorcade turning from East Anning Road into the military district's family quarters. Then, it headed straight for them.
Sister Hu was anxious. She knocked on the door and said, "Old Wang, Old Wang! Come out and see what's going on. Did someone find out that you were corrupt in the administrative center? Are they here to arrest you?! "
Wang Yuexi opened the door and said angrily, "Nonsense, what are you talking about? I didn't take any bribes!"
At this time, Wang Yuexi realized that the black motorcade was about to arrive at their house. The cars in the motorcade were all luxury cars.
Wang Yuexi was surprised. Sister Hu might not recognize these cars, but he dealt with these people every day. How could he not know?
This was the motorcade of the Northwest Chamber of Commerce. Why did they come to look for him in the middle of the night?
However, the motorcade did not drive to his house. Instead, it stopped directly in front of Ren Xiaosu's house!
What's going on? Wang Yuexi felt like he couldn't wrap his head around it.
The car door opened, and a well-dressed middle-aged man got out of the motorcade. He ran enthusiastically to "Lü Xiaomi" who was next door.
"President Wang?!" Wang Yuexi said in confusion.
Wang Fugui turned to look at Wang Yuexi. "Hey, Director Wang is here too. But I have something urgent to attend to. Let's talk another day."
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu also looked at Wang Yuexi and greeted him with a smile. Then he said to Wang Fugui, "Let's go inside and talk."
With that, Ren Xiaosu and Wang Fugui entered the house together with Ms. Jiang.
The door closed, leaving only Wang Yuexi, Hu Xiaobai, and the onlookers who had poked their heads out of the windows to watch the drama unfold.
Hu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment. "Old Wang, you called him President Wang?"
"Yes, he's the president of the Northwest Chamber of Commerce, Wang Fugui." Wang Yuexi said, "President Wang lives in Stronghold 144, but he hasn't come out often lately. Why did he come all the way here today? What kind of person is that Lü Xiaomi? Didn't you say that he's poor and has nothing to do with anyone? "
Hu Xiaobai muttered, "He's already set up a stall on the streets to sell peaches, so what relationship could he have? Which big shot would set up a stall at the market by themselves? But why do you think President Wang came here? Could it be that the neighbor next door really has some sort of background? "
"How would I know?" Wang Yuexi said, "But Wang Fugui has always been a reclusive person. For him to come here personally, that person must not be simple. I saw how eager he was just now, so it should be someone he's very close to."
As they spoke, the sound of an engine came from East Tranquility Road again.
Wang Yuexi's jaw dropped in surprise as he watched the convoy drive into the family quarters. That was because the vehicles that came this time were all green military off-road vehicles!
Anyone who dared to drive such a vehicle in the Northwest had to be someone from the Northwest Army. And from the looks of it, it had to be someone important from the Northwest Army.
When Zhang Xiaoman got out of the car, Wang Yuexi wondered again, "Brigadier Chang?"
Zhang Xiaoman glanced at Wang Yuexi. "Who are you?"
Zhang Xiaoman was not as shrewd as Wang Fugui. He would forget many of the people in the stronghold after meeting them. Although Wang Yuexi's current position was important, Zhang Xiaoman and Wang Yuexi were still separated by two superiors.
"Oh, I'm Wang Yuexi from the Administrative Center's Policy Research Office," Wang Yuexi introduced himself.
Zhang Xiaoman nodded. "Oh, I remember you. Um, can I ask if there's a young couple living in this house?"
Wang Yuexi nodded blankly. "That's right."
Immediately after, Zhang Xiaoman got excited. "It's here. Wang Yun, you've done a great job this time. Hahaha, we've been waiting for so long, but who knew he would be hiding right under our noses?" Knock, knock, knock.
Zhang Xiaoman walked over and knocked on the door. When Wang Yuexi walked over to ask what was going on, he was stopped by the armed soldiers of the Northwest Army. They said to him politely, "I'm sorry, but this is against military regulations. Please do not approach the Young Marshal's residence."
