Rebirth of Merry Career

The steaming food was already on the table, but his father Zhou Xueming did not come back. Zhou Jing was a little puzzled, and asked curiously, "Mom, is Dad going to a party tonight?"

Yuan Xiuhua took off her apron, sat down at the table, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the braised pork, threw it into Zhou Jing's bowl, and said softly: "He has gone to the provincial capital to run some errands, and he might be back later, let's not wait, Just eat first.”

Zhou Jing nodded, put the rice in his mouth, and asked casually, "What are you doing?"

Yuan Xiuhua sighed, and said softly: "It seems that I went to ask for the account with Yang Hengsheng. There is a dealer in the provincial capital, who has suppressed more than 300 million yuan from the agricultural machinery factory. It has been two years, but I can't get it back. This time the cattle factory manager got angry and said that no matter what, he must get the money back.”

Zhou Jing smiled, shook his head and said, "It's too difficult to pay the bills now. My father is honest and not good at words, so he is not suitable for this job!"

Yuan Xiuhua pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "It was told to Yang Hengsheng, but Lao Yang said that the boss is not reasonable, always likes to mess around, and he always holds a stick, blows his beard and stares at people to scare people, your father is strong. , might be able to calm him down."

Zhou Jing waved his hands and said in a low voice: "It's useless. A strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. When we reach the ground in Jiangdu, no matter how many people go there, it's useless. When my dad comes back, ask him to call me and call me." Let's talk about it, and I'll help him do it later."

"Can you do it?" Yuan Xiuhua took a chicken leg and handed it to Xiao Qi with a look of surprise.

Zhou Jing smiled, and said cautiously: "Try it, I just met a few friends in the provincial capital, and they have a lot of energy."

Yuan Xiuhua was a little worried, and hurriedly said: "Don't be a gangster? Xiaojing, those people with complicated backgrounds should not associate with each other. Otherwise, if something happens in the future, it will easily involve you, and the loss outweighs the gain."

Zhou Jing shook his head and said with a smile, "It's either from the underworld, or it's very popular in the local area. There are people from all walks of life."

Xiao Qi held the chicken legs in both hands, gnawed sweetly, looked up at Zhou Jing, and asked curiously: "Brother, what do you mean by gangsters?"

Zhou Jing smiled, took out a tissue, wiped her grease-stained mouth, and said softly, "He's just someone who looks fierce and shouldn't be provoked."

Xiaoqi suddenly realized, nodded and said: "Well, then our math teacher is also a gangster, she is very fierce, she can cry four or five times in a class!"

Zhou Jing chuckled for a while, then turned his head and said, "Mom, is Xiao Qi usually this happy?"

Yuan Xiuhua pursed her lips and smiled, nodded and said: "This kid just has a show, and she tries to please people in different ways every day. I really can't bear her now."

"It's the same, I also can't bear to part with my mother!" Xiao Qi giggled, stuck out her tongue, and made a cute grimace.

"Then eat more vegetables, don't be picky eaters, it's time to grow your body, nutrition should be balanced!" Yuan Xiuhua touched the chopsticks and filled Xiao Qi's bowl with vegetables.

Xiao Qi patted his stomach, pouted and said, "No, there are too many, I'm full!"

Zhou Jing smiled and said softly: "If you can't do it, you have to eat it. It's rare that my mother loves you so much. My brother is jealous."

Xiaoqi giggled, nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll eat a little more, brother, don't be jealous, eat more chicken drumsticks!"

While eating, the phone in the living room rang suddenly. Yuan Xiuhua hurriedly put down the bowl, walked over, picked up the phone, said a few words, then returned to the table sullenly, and sighed: "Things are not going well, the two of them I've settled down in the provincial capital, and I'll go to the door tomorrow morning to ask for debts!"

Zhou Jing leaned over and said half-jokingly: "Mom, you have to watch carefully. Dad, don't go to Huahua World and have fun for a while, and don't want to come back!"

Yuan Xiuhua glared at him, and spat: "Stinky boy, don't talk nonsense, your father is not that kind of person, he never looks straight at women!"

Zhou Jing chuckled, shook his head and said, "That was when you were not around, and I watched him stare bigger than anyone else a few times."

"Go, go, don't be joking!" Yuan Xiuhua said in his mouth, and his heart was a little drumming. After eating, he went to get the phone, chatted with Zhou Xueming, and engaged in firepower reconnaissance in a roundabout way.

Xiao Qi opened his eyes wide and stared at Zhou Jing in surprise. After looking at it for a while, he shook his head, lowered his head and pulled the vegetables into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Brother, you are really good or bad, you actually want to let your parents quarrel!"

"No way, don't talk nonsense!" Zhou Jing laughed dumbly for a while, and returned to the sofa. He suddenly remembered Zhang Wuyang's instructions during the day in the detention center, and felt that it was not too late. necessary trouble.

He stood up, put on his coat, and shouted back, "Mom, I'm going out to do some errands, and I'll come back later. I'll be staying at home tonight, and I won't go back there."

"Brother, wait, I want to go with you too." Xiao Qi hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks, and ran over joyfully.

Zhou Jing frowned, and said in a low voice, "No, brother is out to do some serious business!"

"No, you have to take me with you!" Xiaoqi pulled Zhou Jing's arm, twisted her body, her face was full of displeasure.

Zhou Jing smiled, nodded and said: "Okay, then you remember, sit in the car obediently, and don't move any more."

Xiao Qi nodded vigorously, and said with a smile: "I know, I don't dare to learn to drive anymore!"

Zhou Jing put on his shoes, led her little hand downstairs, got into the car, and drove straight to the ancestral house. He parked the car at the door, turned his head and said, "Stay here, don't run around."

Xiao Qi hummed, put his hands on his knees, and sat upright, but his black and white eyes rolled around, looking at the surrounding environment curiously.

Zhou Jing jumped out of the car and entered the empty yard. Seeing that there was no one around, he went straight to the corner, took out a shovel, went to the old locust tree in the yard, and dug up according to the location he remembered.

However, what is surprising is that when he dug the hole, he found that it was empty, and the package wrapped in a plastic bag had disappeared. It was also chilly, and I broke out in a cold sweat!

"What's the situation?" Zhou Jing held the shovel in both hands, and tried hard to recall. He clearly remembered that when he drove to the ancestral house that day, he had paid attention to it and observed it along the way, and even went around on purpose to make sure that no one was there. After tracking, he buried the things with confidence.

Moreover, this position is also easy to identify, and it is impossible to make mistakes. How could things disappear?

"This is hell!" Zhou Jing spat, dropped the shovel, lit a cigarette, walked around the old locust tree twice, frowned and looked around, suddenly an ominous premonition came to his mind, as if the darkness Among them, there was a pair of beast-like eerie eyes, hiding in the dark, staring at him, and they might pounce on him at any time, which made him feel his hairs stand on end, and he shuddered.

Speaking of it, the ancestral house is like a corner forgotten by the world. It is quiet and quiet. Usually, few people come over. Even if someone comes to clean the courtyard, it is impossible to dig a hole under the locust tree. The probability of this is too small and can be completely ruled out. Then there is only one possibility left!

Thinking of this, Zhou Jing frowned and took a puff of smoke, and Wei Heping's face suddenly appeared in his mind. Although he had only met him once, that person left a deep impression on him, especially those sharp eyes like poisonous snakes. Very insightful, as if you can see people's hearts at a glance.

Zhou Jing felt that he might have underestimated his opponent. Wei Heping is the deputy mayor in charge of the public security gate, but he is also an old criminal policeman who has worked step by step from the public security system. of.

But the problem is, if the things are taken away, Wei Heping doubts himself. Why is he so calm these days? Logically, the other party has many ways to shut himself up forever. Why didn't he take any action?

"Is it because the time has not come, or is there some other reason?" Zhou Jing was deep in thought with a cigarette in his mouth. He suddenly felt that things had become more and more complicated, unimaginably complicated. After all, what was inside the package was a blockbuster. If it exploded, there would even be a major earthquake that shocked the whole province in Qingyang officialdom!

Of course, there is also a more optimistic possibility, that is, out of some concerns, the other party did not dare to act rashly because of certain concerns. Everyone knows it, but it's not a secret, as long as you know a little bit, you can know it, and Wang Yannian has recently been approved by Deputy Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee.

After pondering for a long time, Zhou Jing extinguished the cigarette, threw it on the ground, and stomped it vigorously with his feet. He decided to make a phone call first, throw stones to ask directions, test Wei Heping's reaction, and then find a way to solve this hidden danger. If the gaffe really worsens, Maybe it's time to use the relationship of deputy secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee. Although the timing is not yet ripe, only by playing this card can the people in Qingyang officialdom be settled.

He took out his mobile phone, dialed the number, and called the other party. After the call was connected, he said politely: "Hi, hello, Mayor Wei, I'm Zhou Jing from China Merchants Bureau. We met a few days ago. Do you remember?"

"Oh, it's Xiao Zhou, I remember, of course I remember!" On the other end of the phone, Wei Heping's voice was extremely enthusiastic, as if reminiscing with an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, and said very kindly: "Xiao Zhou, have you eaten? Have you had dinner yet?"

"I've eaten." Zhou Jingjing nodded, and said straight to the point: "Mayor Wei, I'm calling this time to ask you how things are going with Team Zhang."

"It's about the case." Wei Heping touched his mobile phone, smiled, paused, and said with firmness: "That's easy to say. In this way, I'm with the guests now, and it's not convenient to talk. I'll call another day In the past, let's meet and discuss in detail, how about it?"

Trying to figure out the tone of the other party's speech and the vaguely deep meaning in the words, he felt that the situation was still within the controllable range, at least, it would not suddenly deteriorate in the short term, Zhou Jing secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled: "Okay, Wei Shi Long, then don't bother, you are busy first."

"Okay, okay, Xiao Zhou, you don't have to worry about the case, I'll take care of everything, we'll talk about it later!" After Wei Heping finished speaking, he hung up the phone, dropped the phone, and walked to the window with his hands behind his back. He frowned and thought.

Zhou Jing's face was also sinking, standing under the old locust tree, trying to clear his mind and prepare for the next countermeasures. He vaguely felt that the current situation was a bit like beating a wolf with a hemp stick. The two sides were afraid, and the key was to suppress the momentum. Overcoming the opponent halfway, so that he dare not make a move easily, and can't push too hard, lest the opponent put all his eggs in one basket and take risks. This requires a good grasp of the fire.

It's a little strange to say that after talking on the phone with Wei Heping, all the timidity in his heart disappeared, and he even felt excited to fight against a master. If he can deter the other party without any specific evidence, Then it couldn't be better. The next time we meet, it will be a process of finding out the bottom line of each other. We must make sufficient preparations and strive to win without fighting!

At this time, the figure flashed, and Xiao Qi sneaked over quietly, squatting by the pit, put his finger on his lips, and asked curiously: "Brother, why are you digging the pit?"

Zhou Jing glanced at her, frowned and said, "What else can I do, of course I dig a hole and bury you!"

Xiao Qi stuck out her tongue and said pitifully, "Why?"

"Because you are so disobedient!" Zhou Jing smiled, picked up the shovel, filled the hole, slapped it hard a few times, and blamed him: "Didn't you just stay in the car, why did you run out?"

Xiao Qi pursed her lips, full of grievances and said: "You don't go back, I've been alone for so long, of course I'm afraid!"

"Okay, the work is over, let's call it a day and go home!" Zhou Jing walked to the wall, put down the shovel, clapped his hands, and led Xiaoqi back to the car, and drove back home.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Yuan Xiuhua sitting on the sofa, watching TV while wiping tears with his hands.

Zhou Jing was taken aback, and hurried over, whispering, "Mom, why are you crying while watching TV dramas that are so touching?"

Yuan Xiuhua wiped the corners of her eyes, and said resentfully: "No, I was scolded by your father, that old heartless old man, he thinks I'm annoying!"

"Oh, Dad is really too much!" Zhou Jing grinned, and got into the room a little embarrassedly, not daring to come out again.

Xiao Qi ran over, stretched out her small hand, wiped Yuan Xiuhua's tears, rolled her eyes in the direction of the room, and moved her lips slightly: "Annoying!"
