Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 202 Anxious Heart

My wish to get off work on time in the afternoon was ultimately dashed.

Not long after Jin Zhihai left, someone came to the backyard and called him over, saying that the leaders from the headquarters wanted to meet him.

Li Yancheng played a great role in solving the Li Xueyi case. From rescuing the first suspect discovered in the case on July 1 last year to Wu Lihua's confession on April 3 today, he was present at every breakthrough in the case.

No one can take away the title of the number one hero in this case.

As for Song Yongan and Yu Xinmei, as well as the sabotage team that has not yet revealed any trace, they are two separate cases.

They themselves had no intersection with Li Xueyi and Wu Lihua.

Being received by the leader means receiving some verbal praise and encouragement, which will remind you to be humble and keep working hard to achieve better results.

They are all metaphysical contents.

After the leaders left, the conversation between Director Zhong and Director Shen became the focus.

Director Shen mainly talked about the establishment of the Preliminary Investigation Section. He would concurrently serve as the deputy section chief of the Preliminary Investigation Section and encouraged him to work hard in the future.

An ordinary cadre who originally enjoyed the treatment of a deputy section chief was transferred to a deputy section chief position. This was something he could decide on his own. It felt a bit of an overreaction that the director personally talked to him, but it could also be seen as the bureau leaders' attention.

What Director Zhong said here are all practical stuff, which are what he reported to Mr. Wang that day, and they standardize the interrogation method of Li Yancheng.

How should I put it, his interrogation method is good. When encountering a suspect who is not afraid of death or any means, it can quickly open a breakthrough, but the sequelae are indeed very annoying.

This is not the point. The point is that Li Yancheng himself knows very well that if the news that he can do this is widely spread outside, he will definitely be the one in trouble.

Unless he is willing to be kept in captivity like a canary and lose his freedom, sooner or later he will be shot by someone.

All those who have evil intentions or are preparing to have evil intentions will be afraid of his method.

If a system could be established to strictly prohibit arbitrary use, it would indeed be a form of protection for him, and Li Yancheng would certainly not refuse.

Promoting him to deputy section chief and preparing to establish a use system are both means of protecting him.

Assassinating a deputy section chief of a front-line department of the Social Affairs Bureau, no one would choose to do this unless they are at the end of their rope or are a fool.

But there is no doubt that his life will change after this case is over.

When Li Yancheng heard Director Zhong say that a usage system was going to be established, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to tell Luo Min about this matter the day before.

The girl must be made aware that becoming his wife may bring her dangers in the future.

He wanted to marry Luo Min, and he also had this consideration. Old Master Luo would come back in the future. By that time, as the son-in-law of the Luo family, he would have to think carefully if some people wanted to make a move on him.

He never thought of living off his wife. With his familiarity with history, he could be among the first to get rich after the reform and opening up, even if he quit his job and started any business.

……

Director Zhong and Li Yancheng had a conversation while they were eating in the cafeteria.

While they were having dinner, a family in the mining bureau’s staff quarters far away in Menggou District.

After the man of the house came back from get off work, he sat at the dining table in a daze. His wife and children called him to eat several times, but he didn't come to his senses.

Even though he was tired of being called, he still said nothing, but got up and went into the inner room.

"Boom"

After the door to the inner room was slammed shut, the mother and daughter were left outside, staring at each other.

"Mom, what's wrong with my dad? He seems to be a little upset since yesterday."

"I don't know either." Mom shook her head in confusion.

Suddenly, her eyes fixed, as if she had thought of something.

She thought back to last night, when she turned over in her sleep, and seemed to vaguely see her husband sitting on the bed in the dark, leaning against the headboard, smoking. At the time, she thought she was dreaming, so she just ignored it and continued to sleep.

But thinking about her husband's irritable look just now, she might have seen it right last night. What happened? Did the eldest and the second son get into trouble in the mining area?

No, she saw a few workers who came back from their shift at the mine to rest in the afternoon. They said that Jianshe and Jianqiang were doing a good job, so there was no reason for those people to lie to her.

Thinking of this, she put down the steamed bun and chopsticks in her hands.

"Nana, you eat first. I'll go in and see your father."

"Mom, my dad must have encountered some difficulties. Please comfort him and don't quarrel with him."

"Dead girl"

The mother raised her hand and poked her daughter's forehead in annoyance: "I only had an argument with your father once, and it was because of your second brother. It's been almost ten years. You plan to nag me about it for the rest of your life, right?"

"Hey, I'm worried about you guys."

"Come on, I've figured it out. No matter how good I am as your mother, it's useless. You only have your father in your heart."

"That's impossible." The girl quickly shook her head and denied her mother's words: "In my heart, you are the same as my father."

"Hmph..." It was obvious that the mother didn't buy the girl's trick. After giving her a glance, she stood up and walked into the inner room.

The girl was left alone in the outer room. She had no appetite to eat. She sat there, holding the steamed bun in her left hand, and with her right hand, she pinched a little bit of the bun and put it into her mouth, then pinched a little more and put it into her mouth, with her ears perked up.

When the woman pushed open the door to the inner room, she saw her husband sitting on the bed, leaning against the headboard, his head resting on the wall, his eyes closed, and a cigarette in his right hand. When he heard the door open, he just opened his eyes and looked, then closed them again.

After coming in and closing the door to the inner room, the woman took a stool and sat beside the bed. She didn't care about her husband's reaction and just kept talking to herself in a low voice.

"After you came in just now, Nana told me that you haven't been feeling well since yesterday. Actually, what she said was not accurate. You were a little abnormal for a few days last year, and about a week or ten days later, you slowly recovered.

I noticed it at the time, but I didn't ask you. I thought that we have been married for twenty years, and if there was anything wrong, you would have told me. Since you didn't say anything, it meant that the matter was not serious.

Your abnormal behavior this time actually started the night before yesterday."

At this point, the woman who looked to be in her forties blushed slightly: "You tormented me the night before yesterday, and I felt that you were in a bad mood. Last night you didn't sleep and got up to smoke in the middle of the night. Today you didn't even eat, and your temper also came up.

Ge Jintian, you must tell me clearly what happened to make you look like this now."

At first, the woman's tone sounded quite normal, but when she said the last sentence, her tone became unquestionable and her face became extremely serious.

Ge Jintian, the man leaning on the bed, opened his eyes after his wife finished speaking.

He looked at his wife sitting on the bench, first sighed slowly, then raised his hand to take a puff of the cigarette in his hand, then put out the cigarette in the ashtray on the bedside table, and sat up.

After sitting up, he still didn't say anything, but just looked at his wife quietly for a few seconds. Just when the woman was getting a little impatient with his gaze and was about to say something, Ge Jintian moved.

His action also made the woman shut up.

Ge Jintian was seen sitting there without moving, but his right hand reached under the bed. After a while of groping, a crisp metal collision sound came from under the bed, and then his right hand came out from under the bed.

When he came out, there were two golden things in his hands.

Seeing the two things suddenly appearing in her husband's hands, the woman's face flashed with confusion. In her impression, these things should not appear under her bed. What is this...

Soon, her eyes widened as she looked at her husband's hand, and her mouth became wider and wider. Just when she was about to scream, she quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth.

At the same time, she raised her head and looked at her husband, her eyes twinkling.

Ge Jintian understood the meaning in his wife's eyes. He nodded calmly and said, "You guessed it right. These two bars are made of gold. They weigh ten taels. But they were weighed by the sixteen taels scale in the old days of the Republic of China."

The woman still had her hand covering her mouth. Her husband's words filled her eyes with disbelief. She had never thought she could see so much gold.

She was also waiting for her husband to give her an explanation. Their house shouldn't have such a thing.

"Ugh……"

Ge Jintian sighed again. He threw the two big yellow croakers on the bed, picked up the cigarette on the bedside table and lit one for himself. The rising smoke seemed to blind his eyes. He squinted, raised his hand to rub his eyes, put down his hand and then spoke.

"Wenqin, I'm sorry, I lied to you, I mean I lied to you when we first met.

I was actually the one who stayed there specifically to cause trouble."

The words that came out of the man's mouth made the woman's expression change from disbelief to shock and fear.

She still covered her mouth tightly. She didn't dare let go, for fear that she would not be able to control herself and scream out loud.

The man seemed afraid to look at his wife. He sat on the edge of the bed with his head lowered and continued talking.

"After I stayed here, I wanted to find a suitable identity to hide myself and to have access to explosives. After searching for a while, I found your father, the leader of the blasting team at Jingxi Coal Mine. Because among the people in the blasting team at that time, only your family had reached the right age to get married."

At this point, the man's eyes were filled with memories: "Under my deliberate arrangement, everything went as I planned. I married you and learned blasting from my father.

Haha, my dad praised me for being smart and being able to learn things once I was taught. What he didn’t know was that I had actually learned it a long time ago.”

The man paused and took a few deep puffs of his cigarette, then he looked up at his wife and said, "I don't know why, no one has contacted me since I went into hiding, and our lives have been plain and warm, with the birth of our first child, the second child, and finally Nana.

This life made me forget who I really am, until last year...

Until last year, that person suddenly appeared in front of me, holding the token from that year, and ordered me to help them complete a task in January of the 21st year of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

To be honest, Wenqin, I was very scared when that person appeared in front of me. "

"Then why don't you reject him?"

The woman finally spoke. She took her hand away from her mouth and placed it on her husband's hand, holding it tightly.

"I also want to refuse, but he has evidence that I am here as an undercover agent. If I don't agree, he will send the evidence to the police. In this case, I... I... I will really be finished."

The man's body couldn't help but start to tremble. Seeing this, the woman pulled the stool forward and sat down a little. She put her arms around the man and held him tightly in her arms, gently stroking his back with her right hand.

"What happened next? Are these two bars of gold his reward? What did he ask you to do? Didn't he ask you to do it until January next year? Why have you been so emotional these past two days?"

Feeling his wife's warm and soft embrace, the man's trembling body gradually calmed down.

He rested his chin on his wife's round shoulder and whispered, "After explaining the task to me, the man left me an emergency contact address and asked me to check once a week to see if there were any messages, and then left.

Although I was scared at the time, because it was still early in the mission, I deceived myself into thinking that there might be a better turn for the matter, and after a few days I put the matter out of my mind.

Didn’t Bureau No. 1 send me to Dianhai District to handle some business? The place where I worked happened to be not far from the emergency contact address that person left for me. I didn’t know what I was thinking at the time, but I went over to take a look for some reason.

I didn’t expect there was a message there, and these two bars of gold.”

"What was the message?"

“The note and the gold were not left by the person who approached me last year, but by someone who had been lurking here like me.

What he wrote was that he was exposed and that he could no longer complete the mission he had taken, so he asked me to be careful. Then he told me that my mission could be started ahead of schedule.

At the same time, he also asked me to help him get rid of a person, and these two gold bars were the reward he left for me. "

"Jintian, what exactly is the mission they assigned to you?" The wife gently pushed her husband away from her arms and asked him to look at her.

"They asked me to... asked me to go to the scientific instrument factory under the research institute in Dianhai District to sabotage it. I say sabotage, but in fact, they asked me to blow up the factory."

"Exploded...exploded?" The woman's face turned pale in an instant.

For ordinary people, with bombings and killings, who wouldn't be afraid?

"Kinda, tell me, what are you going to do? Go and carry out this mission?"

"I don't know, and I don't know what to do." Ge Jintian shook his head in pain.

"I don't want to complete this mission, but I know that if I don't make any move by the time the deadline comes, they will definitely send evidence that I'm from there to the police."

"Jintian, will you leave me and the children?" The woman reached out and held her husband's head, making him look at her, and asked softly.

"Of course not. I can't bear to leave you. I hope our family can live a peaceful life like this."

"Have you done anything evil since you stayed here?"

"Of course not. They never contacted me in all these years. I even forgot who I was."

"In that case, let's go. I'll go with you. Let's go to the police station."

"What did you say?" The man widened his eyes and looked at his wife in disbelief.

"I said..." The woman said word by word: "I will accompany you to the police station, and we will turn ourselves in. Although you stayed here according to their orders, you have not done anything harmful to the world over the years. You have already become an ordinary member of China.

As an ordinary citizen, once you have discovered a criminal, you must make it clear to the police. We cannot allow criminals to be so rampant, nor can we allow them to destroy our happy lives.

Jintian, if you still consider me your wife, and Jianshe, Jianqiang and Nana your children, then you should listen to me.

Even if the police want to put you in jail because of your history, I will wait for you, and the children will wait for you too. You will always be my husband and the father of the children.

Even if you are in jail, you are not a criminal in our hearts, you are a hero, because you exposed the crimes of those criminals and stopped their evil deeds. "

"Kang Dang"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, the door was pushed open from the outside, and their daughter Nana ran in with tears in her eyes and hugged her father.

"Dad, listen to mom, let's go to the police station, okay? I'll go too. I'll go with you."

His wife's words and his daughter's tears were like heavy hammers that hit Ge Jintian's heart and made him feel suffocated. He reached out and hugged his wife and daughter in his arms, kissed them on the forehead respectively, and nodded firmly.

"I'll listen to you and go to the police station. Go now."

……

Director Zhong and Li Yancheng’s conversation ended after the meal, and they saw the leader off together with Lao Xu.

Just when he thought he could finally get off work, Zeng Honglin, the captain of the Operations Team 1 who was responsible for interrogating Yu Xinmei in the backyard, came running over and said that Yu Xinmei had asked to see him, and if he didn't agree, she would keep hurting herself.

What?

What else can I do except go over and see what this woman is up to? I can't just watch her hurt herself.

The soundproofing of the backyard interrogation room was considered good enough. Even when Yu Xinmei was still more than ten meters away from the room, her loud noise could be clearly heard.

One can imagine how much torture the other people in this interrogation room are suffering from the evil sound.

Even the sentry on duty in the backyard came over to see what was going on. After making sure that nothing was wrong, he returned to his post.

The interrogation room was divided into an inner and outer room. When the outer door was opened, her shrill and noisy voice came directly into our faces.

Li Yancheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this woman was really energetic.

She didn't sleep the whole night last night. On the way here just now, she heard Zeng Honglin say that he only drank some water and didn't eat a single bite of food today, but now he still has so much energy, wow...
