Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 226 Surprise?

After a journey of more than 2,000 kilometers at a speed of 50 to 60 miles per hour and nearly 50 hours of trekking, the train that Li Yancheng and his companions were riding on finally arrived at its final destination, Taifeng Station in Beijing, at around 6 o'clock in the evening on the 24th.

The treatment was the same as when I came back from a business trip last time. The platform was already full of armed police officers who had temporarily controlled the place.

The conductor of this train also received a notice from the station that, except for the No. 3 sleeper car, all other doors should not be opened for the time being, and the situation should be explained to the passengers.

After the car door was opened, the comrades from the Yangcheng Bureau who had escorted them back helped carry the three female suspects lying on stretchers out of the car and handed them over to the comrades from the Beijing City.

Finally, Dai Jun, Su Xiaotong and Li Yancheng got out of the car one after another.

They were greeted with warm applause from their comrades and the cordial care of all the leaders at home in the bureau under the leadership of Director Shen.

At the same time, Mr. Su, who had finally gotten off work on time today and had a meal at home, was just about to go out for a walk after dinner when the phone rang.

"Hey"

"Lao Su, it's me!"

"It's Lao Wang." The voice coming from the phone made Mr. Su's eyes flash.

Except for some news on the 18th, there has been no news about the youngest son and his family in Hong Kong Island for six days. The old man has been in a lot of pain these two days and he didn't dare show any abnormality at home.

When he received a call from his old comrade at this point, he knew that there must be news over there.

"Wait a moment and I'll get back to you."

The old man was a little worried that it might be bad news, so he didn't dare to answer it in the living room. His wife, daughter-in-law, grandson, and Luo's little daughter were all in the living room.

He was afraid that if it was really bad news, he might not be able to hold back and be seen. His wife's health was not good, and if she was stimulated again...

So he planned to go into the study and call back using another phone.

Just as he finished speaking and asked to call back, Mr. Wang on the other end of the phone started laughing.

"Hahaha, Lao Su, don't worry, it's good news, Xiaotong and the others have returned safely and smoothly, and got off at Taifeng Station a few minutes ago.

I may need to go to the bureau to give a verbal report on my work first, and I should be able to go back later. I’m calling you to tell you not to worry about it anymore.”

"Thank you!"

What came from the other end of the phone finally made Mr. Su breathe a sigh of relief.

But the noise he made was a little loud, attracting the attention of the other three people in the living room.

"Lao Su, what did Lao Wang say to you that would make you breathe a sigh of relief?"

There are too many of her husband’s comrades-in-arms who can be called Lao Wang, and Mrs. Su didn’t know who was calling, so she could only ask this.

However, she already had a rough guess in her mind, and her eyes were full of inquiry when she looked at her old man.

When Mr. Su was asked this question by his wife, he felt a pang in his heart and realized that he had relaxed too early.

But when he saw the look in his wife's eyes, he knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he pursed his lips and said, "Uh... Lao Wang from the Social Affairs Bureau called me, and he told me that Xiaotong and the others had returned from their business trip, and they would probably be home tonight."

"Oh, that's it."

When she heard that her youngest son had returned from a business trip, Mrs. Su nodded casually, raised her hand to adjust her reading glasses, and then lowered her head to continue reading the newspaper in her hand.

Qu Xiaoshan and Luo Min looked at each other after hearing this, and the two women's eyes were full of surprise.

A slight blush appeared on Luo Min's pretty face.

Just when Mr. Su saw that his wife didn't say much and just stood up to go out, Mrs. Su suddenly raised her head.

She realized that something was wrong.

The younger son's business trip was not the first or second time, it happened once, twice, or three times every year. But she had never seen that Lao Wang would take the initiative to call and inform her when he came back from a business trip.

Even if that was the son of an old comrade, Mrs. Su believed that with Old Wang's status and position, it would be impossible for him to keep an eye on him all the time. That old guy was much busier than her own husband.

"Lao Su, what's going on? Where did Xiaotong go on this business trip? Is it dangerous? Why did Lao Wang need to personally inform you that your son is back?"

Ugh……

Doesn’t this old lady often say that she is getting confused? But she is not confused at all, her reactions are still so quick.

Old Master Su couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Don't ask where you're going on a business trip. Don't say I don't know. Even if I knew, I couldn't tell you. As for whether there's any danger, now that the person is back, there's no point in asking so many questions."

After the old man said this, he walked out of the living room with his hands behind his back. He seemed calm and composed, but even Luo Min, who had only lived here for a few days, could tell that the old man walked much faster than usual, as if he was afraid that someone would call him.

Old Mrs. Su was frightened by her husband and was a little dazed. When she wanted to ask something, she found that the old man had slipped away. She was so angry that she dropped the newspaper in her hand, held the armrest of the chair and prepared to stand up.

But she soon gave up. What her husband said was right. The person had already returned, so what difference did it make to talk about whether it was dangerous or not.

The old lady sighed slowly and set her eyes on her young daughter-in-law and the little girl of her old comrade who were doing needlework together.

"Xiao Min"

"Aunt"

"Xiaotong is back, so your boyfriend must be back too. I haven't asked you these past few days, are you really ready to marry him?"

Seeing Luo Min opening her mouth to say something, the old lady raised her hand and waved: "Don't talk yet, listen to me. This time I am talking to you not as your elder, but on behalf of the organization.

Marriage is not a joke, especially marrying someone like them. Your sister Xiaoshan has the most say on this. She must have told you a lot in the past few days.

Although your elder brother is also engaged in confidentiality work, the nature of his work is completely different from your partner's. They need to face more dangers, deal with more cunning enemies, and have a lot of things to consider.

The concern for home and family will inevitably decrease, and it is common not to see them for ten days or half a month.

To be honest, this is not a normal family life atmosphere, but there is nothing they can do about it, they have no choice.

Therefore, in order to ensure that they can devote themselves wholeheartedly to their work, a harmonious family living environment is very necessary.

Xiao Min, I watched you grow up, so I know your temper and personality quite well.

After getting married, you need to do laundry, cooking, and clean the house. When you have children, you will have to take care of them by yourself. He has no elders, so no one will help you with these things. Your mother is thousands of kilometers away and can't help you either. Child, are you really ready for all this?

As far as I know, you can't even cook, are you planning to eat in the cafeteria every day in the future?"

Luo Min blushed a little at what the old lady said. She really didn't know how to cook. During the few months she stayed in the countryside, she had tried hard to learn it, but she seemed to have no talent in this aspect. The food she made could only be described as barely tasty enough to kill people.

"Aunt, marrying Yan Cheng is my choice and it won't change. I'm not good at housework and I don't know how to do it. I will work hard to learn."

The girl had a very determined look on her face.

The old lady nodded after hearing this and said, "Although I don't know Li Yancheng and have never seen him, I have heard your brother Xiaotong talk a lot about him during this period.

He is honest, decent, and has no messy relationships. Your brother Xiaotong told me that Li Yancheng keeps the cleanest home among all the single men he has ever met. This may be related to his profession; he is a doctor.

Not to mention washing clothes and cooking, it seems that she can also make her own clothes, is that right, Xiaoshan? Mom, am I right?"

"Mom, you remember correctly, I was shocked when Xiaotong said that." Qu Xiaoshan pursed her lips and smiled.

Although male tailors are not uncommon, they make a living by this skill and have learned it specially. But what about this doctor?

Anyway, in her heart, if this doctor didn't work in the Social Affairs Bureau, he would definitely be a good man to live with, but now...

Alas... Qu Xiaoshan touched Luo Min's hair beside her with some pity. Girl, you will suffer in the future.

The old lady continued, "Min girl, since you have chosen this man, you have to change your temper in the future. When you live together, don't be cold to others every day, and don't turn your face away when there is a little conflict. This rice spoon will inevitably touch the edge of the pot."

"Aunt, I remember that." "Well, you are a good child, aunt, I believe you can live a good life."

……

At Taifeng Railway Station, in order to avoid disrupting the normal order of the railway station and other passengers, after loading the three suspects onto the train, the team left the station without much greeting.

The suspect was taken to a place for custody, while Li Yancheng and the other three drove to the police station.

Here they first have to make a brief report on the situation in the past few days before they can go home.

Tomorrow happens to be Sunday, and they can rest at home for a day. After arriving at the unit on Monday, they will have to prepare a detailed work report on paper and submit it to the bureau. Only then will their mission be officially completed.

Under normal circumstances, they would be given a few days off to rest.

“Boom…Boom…Boom”

As soon as they entered the small conference room of the bureau, before Director Shen asked everyone to sit down, Li Yancheng and the other three put the travel bags they had been carrying all the way on the conference table. The heavy voice attracted the attention of Director Shen and Director Zhong.

Other bureau leaders who are not in charge of business areas have left on their own initiative. They are not qualified to know the specific business matters until they take over the work they are in charge of.

"Comrade Dai Jun, I was just about to ask you why you brought all the luggage up here. What are you carrying?"

Director Zhong glanced at the three bags on the table, looked at Dai Jun and asked.

Dai Jun chuckled and didn't answer. He reached out and unzipped one of the bags. He picked it up and dumped the contents onto the table.

Everything that was poured out was money, and foreign currency. Director Shen and Director Zhong looked at each other, then each picked up a stack and took a look. They were US dollars, in denominations of one hundred, fifty, twenty, and ten yuan. If these three large packages were all filled with money, the amount would be huge.

Throwing the money back on the table, Director Zhong looked up at Dai Jun and the other three, waiting for their explanation.

Dai Jun turned to look at Li Yancheng and gestured to him: "Yancheng, you know best where the money came from. Report it to the leaders."

"Yes"

"Pa" Li Yancheng saluted first: "Two leaders..."

"Yancheng, wait a moment. You guys take a seat first and talk slowly. Today is just an oral briefing. There's no need to be so serious."

Seeing that the three of them were still standing, Director Shen interrupted Li Yancheng, raised his hand and pressed it down, motioning them to sit down, then took out a cigarette and threw one to each of them.

"It is like this, my two leaders. These three bags are filled with US dollars in cash, totaling 1,314,300 yuan..."

After sitting down and lighting a cigarette, Li Yancheng began his report.

Didn’t we only get $200,000 in cash from Vinod’s safe? How did it become more?
The extra money came from the apartment mentioned in the transfer agreement that Li Yancheng took from the safe.

Feng Xianrong sent people to check out the apartment in Tsim Sha Tsui. After several attempts, the two people confirmed that there was no one in the apartment, so they used some trickery to open the door and slipped in.

The room was empty with only a cabinet and a bed, and the area was about 40 square meters.

The two were a little disappointed. One of them opened the cabinet and found only a stack of documents inside. Since they were all in English and he couldn't understand them, he decided to take them back first.

The other one just fell on the bed with nothing to do. They had been running around the apartment all day and were tired, so he planned to lie on the bed and rest for a while.

As soon as he lay down, he felt something wrong under his body, so he stood up and lifted the only layer of mattress. Wow, he almost saw something.

There was money all under the mattress, and it was US dollars.

This made them both very happy, they felt the trip was not in vain.

After a rough count, the total amount was more than 1.1 million, so the two of them ran out to find a bag to put the money in, packed it up and took it back to give to the deputy team leader Jiang Hongjian.

After seeing the money, Jiang Hongjian did not keep a penny of it. He sent it all to the shantytown under Lion Rock and gave it to Dai Jun to take it back.

The Hong Kong Island group has a hard life, doesn't Jiang Hongjian want to leave them some space?

Of course he wanted to stay, but they already had the $20,000 in their hands, which was enough to make their next work much easier.

Moreover, people's hearts are fickle, and having more money may not be a good thing for those who live in this glamorous world.

After listening to Li Yancheng's explanation of the origin of the money, Director Shen and Director Zhong both showed a hint of joy on their faces. These US dollars were truly a pleasant surprise.

It was really unexpected that they, who had always asked the superiors for money, would one day be able to hand over money, and the money they paid was scarce foreign exchange.

Director Shen straightened his back all of a sudden. Our unit can also obtain foreign exchange. Let's see who will dare to say that we only know how to spend money in the future.

What they didn't expect was that the surprises were not over yet.

After explaining the origin of the money, Li Yancheng picked up the tea that the staff of the bureau had just poured for him and gulped down a few mouthfuls. After putting down the cup, he continued talking without caring whether the leaders were still listening or not.

"Director, Director Zhong, actually this is just the small part of the money. The real big part is this."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of thick paper products from the bag he was carrying and placed it on the table.

Over a million dollars and still a small head?
The two leaders looked at the stack of things he took out with surprise.

"Comrade Yancheng, what is that?"

"Director, these are the documents found in that apartment that I mentioned in my report just now." Li Yancheng raised his hand and patted the stack of documents.

"Here are two certificates of purchase for bearer securities, one for the purchase of U.S. Treasury bonds, with a par value of five million U.S. dollars, and the other for the purchase of John Bull bonds, with a par value of three million pounds, both with a five-year term.

The Ugly Country share will expire in the second half of next year, and John Bull's share will expire the year after. After maturity, the two purchase certificates can be used to redeem the principal and interest.

Because they are bearer, if you don’t want to wait until maturity for redemption, these two purchase certificates can be traded now in Hong Kong Island and exchanged for cash or other things, but you will lose a little interest. "

When it came to bearer securities, the two leaders couldn't understand what that meant, but they understood the amount of money and the last sentence.

That is to say, if you want, you can take that stack of paper to Hong Kong Island and exchange it for money, either US dollars or British pounds, with a total value of more than 10 million US dollars.

This number made the two of them gasp at the same time, and in an instant, the air pressure in the small conference room seemed to drop a lot.

You can't say they are ignorant, they are so surprised by just 10 million US dollars.

You know, last year the country's foreign exchange reserves were just over 100 million US dollars.

Ten million US dollars is equivalent to one-tenth of the foreign exchange reserves. What a concept! He is definitely the God of Wealth.

With this money, how many materials that are in short supply in China can be bought from abroad?
How much can it speed up the pace of related infrastructure and industrial construction?
Director Shen opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly he felt a little dry in the mouth, so he quickly picked up the teacup in front of him and took a big sip.

"Comrade Yan Cheng, are you telling the truth?"

"Director, please ask someone who knows English to take a look and you will know. I also read what is written in this document."

Li Yancheng stood up, took the stack of documents and placed them in front of Director Shen, then walked back and sat in his seat.

Director Shen looked at the documents in front of him, thought for a moment, then turned to look at Director Zhong beside him.

"Let's report this to the headquarters and ask them to send someone to check the contents of these documents. Although we have comrades who know English, no one knows what these securities are."

Seeing the director looking at him, Director Zhong spoke without even thinking.

"Okay, you guys take a seat first, I'll go make a phone call."

For such a big matter, we must ask the leaders from headquarters to step in.

After Director Shen left, Director Zhong looked at Li Yancheng and the other three with a hint of weirdness in his eyes.

I asked you to go to Hong Kong Island to arrest criminals, but you brought back such a big surprise. What...what is this?
Even if those documents are worthless, the more than one million dollars in cash is really there.

That's enough!
