Mi Xaing 'er was very curious when she overheard their conversation. She leaned forward slightly and looked at the man's back. She felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before. She stared at him, hoping that he would turn around so that she could confirm his appearance.
However …
The man's actions were very steady. He spoke slowly and forcefully. His body was straight, and he didn't look around. He had the demeanor of a soldier. "Tang Liling isn't dead yet. I just received the news recently."
"What?" Yu Hongyan couldn't stay calm anymore. She twisted her collar with both hands, and her lips were pale. "Then will the things we did be exposed? Tang Liling is cultured, knowledgeable, and smart. If she turns around, will she take revenge on me?"
“”
Yu Hongyan panicked. She couldn't wait to take a step forward and grab the man's arm. "You're a high-ranking official. Don't leave me alone!"
High-ranking official?
Who?
The man shook her off in disgust. "The trash hasn't done anything yet, and you're already losing your cool. Let me ask you, have you made any progress on the matter I asked you to do?"
"Ah …" Yu Hongyan lowered her head in embarrassment, as if she was afraid of the other party. "Not yet …"
"Idiot! You've been living in the Tang family's mansion for three to four years, and you don't have any clues at all. How could those big boxes of gold bars and a few years' worth of rations for an army disappear for no reason?"
Gold bars?
Rations?
A few big boxes?
Mi Xaing 'er was stunned. This was really a big "new" piece of news.
She finally understood why Yu Hongyan insisted on living in the mansion. It wasn't just to seize the property. There was a bigger scheme behind it.
Yu Hongyan stuttered as she explained, "You really can't blame me for this. Think about it, Tang Daishan is so cunning. The Tang family has such a big family business. After the liberation, they distributed the land to the rich, but our village only got the land. When we raided his house, there was only the furniture left in the entire mansion. There was no other property. Needless to say, he had already secretly moved the things he hid away. Other than his daughter, how could anyone find it so easily?"
“”
"Also, I've asked Mi Jianguo about it from the side. But, that guy was born to be a servant. The Tang family raised him, so he stupidly thanked them. Now that Tang Daishan is dead, he still wants to be loyal to Tang Liling. Even a dead duck's mouth cannot be pried open."
The man said in a deep voice, "Don't talk nonsense. What you need to do now is to find out where the treasure is before Tang Liling returns. Otherwise, all my efforts over the past few years will be in vain."
"Miss Tang, when will you be back?"
“”
"Then where is she now? Did she really go to Xiang Xiang?"
The man stopped her in time. "Don't talk nonsense."
He pushed her shoulder. "Let's go."
Yu Hongyan was a little indignant. "What about Weiyu? I …"
"I'll do as I see fit." The man walked ahead without looking back. "In the future, you can only contact me if there's news about the treasure. My identity is special, so it's not convenient for me to contact you too much."
After a pause, he said, "Let's split up."
He strode into the waiting room and disappeared into the crowd in a flash.
Yu Hongyan obeyed and waited for a while before sneaking away.
Mi Xaing 'er was in a daze.
What exactly was going on?
The next morning.
Hsu Mingwei and Mi Xaing 'er carried their medicine boxes and prepared to go to the countryside for vaccination.
Just as they reached the entrance of the village, they saw a jeep speeding towards them from afar. It stopped abruptly in front of them.
Wu Zhifei rolled down the car window. He didn't look too good. "Hey, isn't this Comrade Xiao Mi?"
Mi Xaing 'er smiled sweetly. "Hello, Political Commissar."
She took the opportunity to glance inside the jeep. The figure she was looking forward to was not inside.
Wu Zhifei narrowed his eyes as if he was having a mental struggle. He paused for a moment before getting out of the car. His voice was exceptionally low. "Yes, both of you are here. There's something that we urgently need a doctor for. I hope you can come with us."
Mi Xaing 'er's heart skipped a beat. "What's the matter? What happened?"
"Yes, there was a small accident when we were digging a canal to bury the explosives. I just received the notice and have already reported it to the organization. However, the doctor can't come so quickly."
On the mountain.
Digging a canal.
A small accident.
Although Wu Zhifei said it casually, Mi Xaing 'er sensitively grasped the information from these few words. She still forced a smile on her face, but her trembling lips betrayed her secret. "Isn't the Head Of Yun on the mountain? He should be able to handle it. Why do you have to go personally?"
She still had hope in her heart. She told herself that the Head Of Yun would be fine. He was in charge of the situation.
Wu Zhifei did not explain further. He lowered his head and said, "Yes. You guys get in the car."
Hsu Mingwei agreed readily. He poked Mi Xaing 'er's waist from behind. "Don't just stand there. Hurry up. If there's really an accident, time is of the essence."
Time?
Life?
For some reason, Mi Xaing 'er's mind was fixed on a scene. When she broke up with Yun Jingting yesterday, she did not even say "goodbye". Yun Laohu looked like she wanted to say something in the car but stopped. At this moment, it seemed to be tugging at her heart.
Never saying goodbye.
Was about to leave.
What kind of regret was this?
She really regretted her mistake at that time.
She got into the car swiftly. Her heart involuntarily flew up the mountain.
----- Digression —
Wow, wow, wow. So Mi Xaing's family had gold bars. She was really a nouveau riche.
