Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 1240 He's Really Reliable at Getting Things Done

The three of them waited for more than 20 minutes at the train station amidst strong winds and howling winds before the small train from the forest farm finally arrived slowly.

This time, it was Uncle Wu selling tickets on the train again. Wang An offered him a cigarette, chatted with him for a few trivial things, and then walked towards the carriage.

After entering the carriage, Wang An habitually glanced around, his expression suddenly faltering. Then, he gave a very strange smile to a forestry worker in the carriage.

The reason Wang An was smiling so strangely was because this forestry worker was the same "double-standard dog" that Wang An and Wang Li had encountered on the train when they took it to the county town last time—the same person who was the measuring officer.

I still remember the last time this kid insulted Wang An, he got a good beating from Wang An. If it weren't for Uncle Wu of Chengjing stopping Wang An, Wang An would have kicked him so hard he couldn't get out of bed.

As Wang An recognized the hypocrite, the hypocrite naturally recognized Wang An as well. However, unlike Wang An's eerie smile, the hypocrite, who was bragging to his colleagues, paused for a second before quickly lowering his head.

It was obvious that the kid was afraid that Wang An would cause him trouble.

Wang An had no interest in causing trouble for this kid, and now that he saw that the kid didn't even dare to look him in the eye, he was even more reluctant to pay attention to him. He then found an empty seat and sat down.

Mu Xueli and Wang Li then sat down opposite Wang An.

Wang Li then said mysteriously to Wang An:

"Fourth Brother, those guys we dealt with last time are sitting over there."

Wang An said without looking up:
"Yeah, I saw it just now. If they don't cause trouble, just ignore them."

Hearing their conversation, Mu Xueli couldn't help but gossip:

"Who are you two talking about? Who started this trouble?"

After Mu Xueli finished asking her question, Wang Li glanced at Wang An. Seeing that Wang An had no intention of stopping him, he began to boast to Mu Xueli with great enthusiasm.

It has to be said, however, that Wang Li's voice was really loud, as if he were provoking that hypocritical dog.

Even so, that hypocrite still sat there obediently, not daring to utter a sound, clearly terrified by Wang An's fighting prowess and reputation.

And so, as Wang An and the other two chatted and talked, the train arrived in the county town.

When Wang An and his two companions came to the county town, it wasn't just to take a long-distance train. Before boarding the train to Yi Province, they needed to get some certificates and letters of introduction from Zhang Shuya, because Wang An wanted to use Jing Cha's identity to go to Yi Province under the guise of handling a case in another location.

Of course, this was something that Wang An had discussed with Zhang Shuya and Wu Dong beforehand.

The main reason is that only in this way can Wang An deal with many things more conveniently and quickly, instead of having to run away or suffer humiliation because of these concerns.

Furthermore, all three of Wang An's men were carrying guns, specifically the Type 54 pistol, which is very rare on the market. Without a legitimate reason, they would face considerable trouble if they encountered a checkpoint on the road or in the province.

You have to understand that in those days, gangsters generally used weapons like pickaxe handles, steel pipes, and long knives. Only those who were really powerful and had "knives, guns, and cannons" could afford to use ruthless weapons like double-barreled and single-barreled shotguns with their barrels sawed off.

The Type 54 pistol is a prohibited firearm in cities.

Upon arriving at Gong Anju, Wang An led Mu Xueli and Wang Li directly to Zhang Shuya's office. However, to Wang An's surprise, Wu Dong, Wang Shuai, Ma Guoqiang, He Liang, and Sun Nian were all in Zhang Shuya's office at that time.

After a moment of surprise, Wang An greeted everyone with a smile:

"Oh my, are all my brothers and sisters lining up to welcome me?" Wu Dong glanced at his watch and then laughed.

"Yeah, we've been waiting for you for ages. You're so slow, it's almost 9 o'clock."

When Wu Dong teased Wang An, everyone greeted Wang Li and Mu Xueli.

Wang An said nonchalantly:
"There's nothing we can do about it. We came by the forest farm's little train, and that's just how fast it goes. Besides, the train to Bingcheng doesn't leave until 10:30 in the morning, so we'll have to catch it."

After a pause, Wang An asked the group:

"What are you all doing in my older sister's office? Didn't you just take leave? Are you taking leave again?"

Wang Shuai continued:
"Since you've gone to fight the enemy yourself, we should at least provide you with some food and ammunition, hahaha!"

As he spoke, Wang Shuai handed Wang An a stack of nationally valid grain coupons, meat coupons, and industrial coupons, saying:
"I think this should be enough for the three of you."

Wang An looked at the industrial coupons and said:
"Why are you giving me this thing? I don't need it in Yi Province."

Wang Shuai said:

"Take it. Yandu is located in Yi Province. If you have time, go to Yandu and take a look. You might need industrial vouchers to buy something. You don't know the area, so where are you going to get industrial vouchers?"

Upon hearing this, Wang An put away all the tickets and other items.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Dong took out several train tickets, then took out six and handed them to Wang An, muttering to himself:

"I knew you'd need to bring helpers. Luckily, I got a few extra tickets. Three of them are for Bingcheng, and the other three are for Fengtian. After Fengtian, I don't know what to do for the rest of the way. You'll have to rely on yourselves."

Wang An took the tickets and looked at them. He was in a pretty good mood because all six tickets were sleeper tickets.

In this day and age, to be able to get train tickets without spending any money, and not only without spending money, but also with sleeper berths, shows just how powerful Wu Dong is. What's even more incredible is that he actually got several tickets at once! That's simply unbelievable.

Immediately afterwards, each of these people handed Wang An a small slip of paper, on which were written several names and phone numbers.

Judging from what these people said, these were their friends, classmates, or comrades-in-arms from Jilin Province, Liaoning Province, Inner Mongolia, Shandong Province, Henan Province, Hebei Province, and Beijing.

These people also said that if you encounter any problems in the local area that you can't solve, you can call them for help.

Wang An glanced at the names and phone numbers on the list and felt a warm feeling well up inside him.

I have to admit, these second-generation rich kids are really reliable, incredibly reliable. They even thought of something like this.

Although touched, Wang An still addressed everyone with a cheerful tone:

"Then thank you all, brothers and sisters! Hehehehehe"

Soon, Zhang Shuya handed Wang An three brand-new work permits, along with a letter of introduction and proof, saying:

"I broke the rules by setting this up for you guys. You'd better return it to me as soon as you get back, or I'll pick the three of you up."
