Zhao Lanxiang could hear the caution hidden in his calm voice.
She raised her head and looked at the man she loved,
Her tone was casual, because she didn't want to see him jealous.
"Yes, he's Jiang Li's brother, and he sent her to the countryside on the way. You know... Jiang Li went back with a face full of injuries before the New Year. Her family was very worried during the New Year. "
He Songbai heard this and asked again, "Did you and Jiang Li know each other before?"
He was very concerned about her matters,
But many times, he would be careful not to cross the line,
Today, he really wanted to get to the bottom of it. What was going on with this man who wanted to "kidnap" his partner. If it weren't for the fact that he was afraid of being seen by others..,
He wished he could hold her in his arms and ask her clearly one by one, kissing her with all his might.
Zhao Lanxiang continued to say,
"She and I are both from City G."
"Has he already left,
Why don't you come in and sit down? "He Songbai said.
Zhao Lanxiang really couldn't imagine the scene of the two of them meeting,
He was afraid that even if the enemies met, blood would splatter on the spot. Coincidentally, Jiang Jianjun didn't want to see He Songbai either,
He left with great restraint. But even if Jiang Jianjun didn't leave,
She would try her best to make him leave.
The two of them were born to be at odds with each other.
Zhao Lanxiang pursed her lips,
She said, "He's already left. Let's... go back and eat."
Men seemed to have natural thick nerves,
They suddenly became subtle at the right time. He Songbai sensed that there was something wrong with the other party,
But she didn't want to say it... he could only put it aside for the time being,
He would slowly deal with it when he was free.
It was probably because too many things had happened at home recently, one after another,
It caught him off guard. She was hiding something in her heart,
He was no exception.
He Songbai was thinking about how to mention to the other party that he was arrested today to the police station to make a statement.
Although he appeared very calm at the police station,
It was indeed wrong to speculate, and his reputation was also bad. He Songbai hesitated for a moment and looked straight at the mountain range in the distance.
The evening sun melted, and the outer halo was a piece of black gold, burning the surrounding clouds. The warm orange gradually dyed into a blazing red, surging like a sea of fire, spreading to the horizon.
The dark golden glow scattered on the dark green mountaintop, and a bird leisurely swept its tail across. This was the tranquility of the countryside, spacious and distant. This place had been like this for dozens of years, or even hundreds of years. The changes were extremely slow, as if there were no traces of time.
Isolated and backward, beautiful and tranquil.
Poverty made people struggle, and he had also struggled to walk the path of profiteering.
He said slowly, "I was taken to the police station today."
Zhao Lanxiang abruptly turned to look at him, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
He Songbai looked into the distance and continued, "I was reported by Wu Yong for speculating."
He saw the shock in the other party's eyes, but he didn't know that Zhao Lanxiang's shock at this moment was because he remembered the purpose of Jiang Jianjun's visit today.
He said, "If you're willing to promise me one thing, I can get him out immediately …"
Get him out, not "help him."
Zhao Lanxiang, who was angry at the time, didn't notice the difference in the word. She pursed her lips deeply and held her breath. Jiang Jianjun was indeed an outstanding general. He always hit the nail on the head and secretly did a favor here. He didn't mention a word about helping He Songbai, but she would know sooner or later.
This was both to please him and to warn him.
He Songbai continued, "I don't know what happened, but I was released after writing the confession. I only understood when I heard you say that it was because of Jiang Li. "
"I really owe her a big favor this time," he said softly.
"It is very big," Zhao Lanxiang said. She pinched the man.
"Let's go eat. You'll only have the strength to deal with tomorrow when you're full."
He Songbai narrowed his eyes and said okay. He silently followed his partner back home. San Ya was already halfway through her meal, but she still couldn't help but ask, "Where's that big brother?"
"He's wearing a military uniform. He's so mighty!"
He Songbai couldn't help but want to hit his sister when he heard this.
The old lady had already finished her meal, and Li Dali had already carried her into the house. He Songbai's heart was filled with jealousy. He couldn't help but ask Zhao Lanxiang, "Is he really mighty?"
Zhao Lanxiang didn't nod, but she also said the truth, "He's really quite mighty."
He Songbai's heart was filled with old vinegar, and he buried his head in eating.
Zhao Lanxiang couldn't help but laugh. She paused and continued, "Brouther Bo, why are you only eating? Come and eat a piece of meat. You'll look better if you eat more meat. Actually, Brouther Bo is also very handsome. When he rides a bicycle through the village, many girls are attracted to him and secretly look at him. "
He Songbai knew that many girls were secretly looking at him. Most of them looked down on him, but they also felt that he was able to get into a university. This was a strange and complicated look.
When he was young and inexperienced, he felt that strange looks were a kind of humiliation. Now, he was used to it.
…
The next day, he and his partner went to X University. It seemed that Gu Gong had already talked to Principal Fu, so Principal Fu wasn't surprised to see He Songbai again.
He explained the purpose of his visit to the principal. The principal took off his glasses and deliberated for a long time before he found a female teacher from Wu Yong's department.
It was more convenient to find a female teacher for this kind of thing. That day, after the female teacher heard Principal Fu's words, she expressed anger and doubt at the same time.
"How is that possible? Assistant Professor Wu looks like a very gentle and polite person. He's also very knowledgeable. Many workers, peasants, and soldiers like to ask him for advice! "
However, the female teacher still followed the principal's instructions and called in her female students one by one. He Songbai and Zhao Lanxiang stood outside the window and held their breaths as they listened quietly.
After standing for a long day and listening in on the corners of the walls, the two of them didn't get anything. Almost all of them opened their mouths to deny this matter and expressed their anger. How could he talk to them about this kind of thing? They even asked if Assistant Professor Wu left because of this groundless rumor.
He Songbai and his partner walked aimlessly on the campus, stepping on fallen leaves. He gestured to his partner and said, "That day, I fought with Wu Yong here."
"At that time, I helped him up and suddenly realized that he was the hooligan I've been looking for. Actually, the night I helped Pan Yu in the cornfield two years ago, I had a fight with him. I knew that his shoulder bones were twisted and didn't grow well. At that time, I didn't expect him to be such a high-level intellectual. "
"At that time, I looked for them one by one in the village. I bathed with them and put my arms around their shoulders."
Zhao Lanxiang listened quietly and said, "It's also possible that he was very cautious and didn't look for his own students. He looked for someone else …"
She sighed deeply. The two of them understood that this was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.
They went to the state-run restaurant for lunch and rested at Li Zhong's place. By the time night fell, they had already returned to Hezitun. Gu Huaijin wasn't in the cowshed. Hu Xianzhi squatted by the stove and silently cooked porridge for two people.
The red sweet potatoes were buried in the charcoal fire and emitted a tempting aroma.
His gaze was gloomy and lost. The stubble on his cheeks was messy like a bunch of weeds. He looked disheveled and unkempt, as if he hadn't taken care of himself for a few days.
He Songbai greeted him.
"Teacher Gu didn't come back?"
Hu Xianzhi gave a nonchalant reply with a dull look in his eyes. He scooped a bowl of porridge with a spoon and said, "He went to look for the construction funds."
"Where can he find it — —" He sighed deeply.
"It's only a few thousand yuan. If someone wants to hide it, can't he hide it?"
He Songbai nodded, "Yes, according to your junior brother's cautious thoughts, he can't wait to dig through the earth's core. I'm afraid that Teacher Gu won't be able to find him in his lifetime. He's very shrewd, he won't leave behind any weakness. Even the drugs he used would evaporate completely after a while. It's hard not to be convinced. "
Hu Xianzhi listened and his hand that was stirring the spoon suddenly froze.
His mind flashed and he said uncertainly, "Hearing you say that, I seem to have guessed his thoughts."
As he spoke, Hu Xianzhi carefully moved away from the stove and moved away his and Gu Huaijin's belongings. He looked around and lifted the shovel to dig on the spot.
Zhao Lanxiang's gaze couldn't help but deepen when she saw his actions.
Hu Xianzhi dug a little here and there until he dug about half a meter deep. A dark black box suddenly came into view.
Zhao Lanxiang and He Songbai's gaze couldn't help but be shocked. They moved forward.
Hu Xianzhi said, "No wonder he used to hang around here. This box must have been buried before Teacher Gu lived in the cowshed."
He Songbai couldn't help but use a stone to cut open the box. With a swing of his hand, he opened the box.
A damp and musty smell wafted over, and something that was tightly wrapped in layers of kraft paper appeared in front of them. The three of them coincidentally tore open the kraft paper at the same time. In the end, what came into their view was the greyish-red Great Unity, which was stacked into a pile. It was a spectacular sight. There were even more banknotes than Li Zhong's "cellar".
Zhao Lanxiang was stunned for a long time. He frowned and said lightly, "I didn't think Wu Yong was powerful before, but now I've changed my opinion."
"He has the ability to hide the money here. I admire his scheming."
The missing project funds were found in Gu Gong's cowshed. Who should be blamed for this?
He Songbai also thought of this.
Hu Xianzhi also thought of this.
Hu Xianzhi thought for a while and said, "If I dug up the money here half a month ago, I might have firmly believed that it was Teacher Gu's doing. But now … "
He touched the lock that He Songbai smashed and said, "When I went to work with him in S City, he used his first salary to buy this lock. It was made in S City —"
"If you check the department store, you might be able to find records. And this box is also his."
