Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

In short, Yang Aiguo is just empty talk.

Jiang Fan and the others also responded politely. In official circles, it is said that if you praise me and I praise you, there is no loss either way.

After a few words, Yang Aiguo didn't want to stay any longer and said goodbye.

"Deputy Director Li, won't you come with me?"

"No, no, no, Director Yang can go first. I want to hear Comrade Damao recount their battle against the bandits so that the Propaganda Department can publicize it."

Yang Aiguo snorted coldly and left the reception room.

Li Huaide then burst into laughter. "Section Chief Li, you guys did a great job. Xiao Wang, bring the things over here."

Xiao Wang ran over and took out several bundled bills.

"Come on, take them all."

Li Huaide forcefully stuffed the things into everyone's arms.

Without waiting for them to refuse, Li Huaide said, "These are all the receipts I've saved up. They're my personal reward to the heroes of our steel mill. Keep them and buy more food for your families. You've made such great contributions to the steel mill. How can I, the one in charge of logistics, not express my appreciation? Right, Damao?"

Xu Damao immediately agreed, "Comrades, Director Li is right. He also cares about our daily lives."

He was involved with Li Huaide and knew how generous he was. He didn't know where the bill came from, but he knew exactly how it disappeared.

Jiang Fan was the first to accept it. He had a good relationship with Xu Damao, so he had one foot in Li Huaide's circle.

Li Weiguo thought about it and accepted it. He was definitely going to be promoted for his meritorious service this time. But he didn't know to what extent. He might be transferred, or maybe not.

If he is not transferred, his security section will probably be expanded into a department, and he will then be Director Li.

Chapter 298 I cheat

Li Huaide was very happy to see Li Weiguo accept the bills. Although he did not expect that some bills could win Li Weiguo over, at least the relationship between the two had a good start.

Then he took another stack and said, "I heard there's a police officer with you. Please pass this to him and thank him for me. You've made a great contribution to our country."

Li Weiguo was about to refuse, but then he remembered that this was for Liu Xin. He was not familiar with Liu Xin and was not qualified to make decisions for others, so he had to accept it first. "Thank you for your trouble, Director Li. I will give it to him for you. If he doesn't want it, I will return it to you."

Li Huaide smiled but said nothing. No one had ever returned anything he had given away. After a few more words of concern, Li Huaide left.

Then the head of the Propaganda Department and Han Daguo approached Xu Damao and Jiang Fan respectively. As their direct superiors, they also needed to care about their subordinates.

Han Daguo looked at Jiang Fan, thought for a long time, and said, "You should focus on technology in the future. We are intellectuals, so we should try not to get involved in such dangerous things. We are technical people, and you have put our lives in danger."

"Don't worry, Chief. I just happened to run into this. It's such a big deal. I'd be upset if you didn't take care of it."

Han Daguo thought it made sense. If he were younger, he would have just gone up and started a fight.

Patting Jiang Fan on the shoulder, Han Daguo said, "You didn't take leave today, so you won't get paid."

"Section Chief, we can't do this. I'm trying to make a contribution."

"Screw you."

After chatting for a while, the few people separated.

Back in the reception room, Li Hang and Wang Hao couldn't help but sigh, "Director Li is really generous. He gave me these twenty or so kilograms of food coupons without hesitation. Damao, no wonder you are with Director Li."

"That's right, but Director Yang is no match for him. He still holds meetings and goes through the motions. And his secretary, what kind of person is that? We worked so hard to achieve something, and we have to tell them about it? We're letting them take all the credit."

Li Hang was quite dissatisfied with Yang Liming. Although their role in the operation was not big, they were still involved.

"Brothers, your section chief is still here. Is it appropriate for you to say that?" Xu Damao said with a smile.

"That's why the section chief said that, and there are no outsiders here." Although they have only known each other for a few dozen hours, for people like Wang Hao who came from the military, they have a very good impression of Xu Damao and Jiang Fan.

"By the way, when can we go out?"

"It won't take long, as long as everyone over there is caught."

In the interrogation room, Guan Chang leaned back in his chair, his head raised, his eyes dull.

When the police interrogated him just now, he first asked how they caught them. After hearing that, he felt that he should have killed Liu Bao before entering the city.

"It's all down at the last moment! It's all down at the last moment. Why did I end up with such a guy who can only cause trouble instead of helping me? If I had known earlier, I should have just killed him."

Guan Chang was extremely annoyed. "Yu Dong too, he failed to kill two pieces of trash. It would have been better if he had taken action earlier."

"Guan Chang, stop talking about this and answer our questions directly. Apart from the 200 taels of gold hidden in the cellar, where did you hide the remaining 600 taels of gold?"

Director Zheng asked sternly. God knows how happy he was when he heard the letter from below saying that the gold thieves had been caught while he was at work today.

This case, while not a national sensation, shocked the thirteen northern provinces. If someone were to take so much gold south, it would cause an earthquake.

The man had been caught, the whereabouts of the gold had been discovered, and his superiors had expressed their approval of his work. The opportunity for advancement was right in front of him.

The bad news came, gold was found, but not enough. This made him very angry, saying, "You brought so much copper, couldn't you just bring gold?"

"Gold? Isn't it all there? Eight hundred taels, not a penny less. If you don't believe me, weigh it." Guan Chang sneered, his eyes full of disdain.

"Okay, okay! Xiao Li, go out and get me a glass of water."

Director Zheng grinned, stood up and took off his coat.

……

"Yu Dong, bald spy, what's your code name? Who woke you up? What's your undercover mission? Tell me the truth!"

Xia Donghai also learned the routine. No matter whether it was true or not, he would trick him first.

Yu Dong was struck by lightning, and tremblingly said, "You all know? Guan Chang was also arrested? Did he sell me out?" (In real life, they would definitely not confess the truth after a lie. This is a novel, so it's just an artistic process.)

Xia Donghai's eyes widened instantly. Oh my god, there really is an unexpected surprise! He pretended to be calm and said, "Well, he was next door. He confessed as soon as he was caught. You also know what the last eight words mean. As long as you behave well, you will definitely get a reduced sentence."

Yu Dong sorted out his thoughts and began to honestly explain his identity, mission, and online status.

Xia Donghai became more and more frightened as he listened, and he almost couldn't hold the pen he was writing on. This was a complete hidden clue.

Director Zheng had just gotten rid of his anger when he heard the good news reported by Xia Donghai.

"So, these two guys are spies. Yu Dong is here to kill Bai Qing and Liu Bao today, and there's an undercover agent behind them?"

Director Zheng smiled happily, "Xia Donghai, go and tell all the team leaders to come to my office for a meeting within five minutes."

"Yes!"

Xia Donghai responded and took the opportunity to ask, "Director, this matter is almost over. Can Li Weiguo and the others leave now? They also have to work."

Director Zheng slapped his forehead and said, "Right, right, right. I almost forgot about Section Chief Li and the others. So you go and notify them first, and I'll go find them."

Outside the police station, Director Zheng said goodbye to Li Weiguo and the others with an apologetic look on his face. "Chief Li, I'm really sorry to have kept you for so long. But the station is indeed very busy, and I hope you can understand."

Li Weiguo and his companions naturally wouldn't take this matter to heart. They all had the spirit of sacrifice, and it didn't matter that they just stayed in the police station for a while longer.

"Director Zheng, please stay. You still have to take charge of the overall situation. Once the gold is found, just have Xia Donghai notify us. Otherwise, we won't be at ease."

Director Zheng promised to inform them if there was any new information.

After leaving the police station, Xu Damao suggested, "Let's go eat. It's already noon and we haven't eaten anything."

Li Weiguo laughed and said, "Okay, then come to my house for dinner. I'll ask your sister-in-law to cook two dishes and we'll have a good meal."

Jiang Fan said, "Okay, Damao and I will go buy some groceries."

"Then Lao Wang and I will go buy some wine. Section Chief, you go home and tell your sister-in-law first."

Chapter 299 Confession

After Jiang Fan walked around the vegetable market, he came out with vegetables, meat and eggs. He sent Xu Damao back to the courtyard to report that he was safe.

However, he told Xu Damao not to make it public before cracking the gold thieves, and wait for a big wave to come.

Xu Damao deeply agreed with this. Of course, the more surprising the divine manifestation in front of others, the better.

When they arrived at the Li family's gate, Li Weiguo was already waiting there. However, when he saw Jiang Fan coming over with a large bag of things, he couldn't help but say, "Brother Jiang, why did you buy so many things? We can just make some peanuts and stir-fry a couple of dishes."

"Okay, Lao Li, you're telling me these things on such a happy day. Xu Damao and I bought these. Take them to your sister-in-law and have her cook. We're both starving."

Jiang Fan knew Li Weiguo was worried he'd spend money recklessly. Why would a bunch of grown men have so many dishes to drink with? A plate of peanuts could last them a long time. He could buy something for his family with the receipts he got from Li Huaide.

Li Weiguo took the dishes, sighed, and went to the kitchen.

"Why did you buy so many vegetables? You're not going to make a living." Zhang Rong looked at the vegetables in Li Weiguo's arms with a distressed look. "I know you solved the case, but the reward hasn't come yet. How can you be so wasteful?"

Li Weiguo quickly told her that Jiang Fan and Xu Damao had bought them. Zhang Rong was stunned for a moment, then said, "They didn't buy it? And you, you didn't even bother to stop them. Who has a wealthy family these days? How much does it cost to buy so many things?"

What else could Li Weiguo say? It was all his fault anyway.

At the dinner table, several people were chatting animatedly. Li Weiguo and others talked about their military life, Xu Damao told the story of his trip to the countryside to show movies, and Jiang Fan occasionally interjected a word or two.

"I don't know!"

Jiang Fan suddenly became alert and turned to look at the drunk Li Weiguo, "Old Li, is this ingredient wrong?"

Fortunately, Li Weiguo didn't say "I have the advantage," but instead frantically talked about what he would do if he were the Liao Province police. In short, "With a few micro-manipulations, I can leave Guan Chang and his men with no way to escape!"

Jiang Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, although it was all micro-manipulation, the micro-manipulation of a few people was different from large-scale micro-manipulation.

However, he also realized that they were all drunk and who knows what might happen if they continued drinking. He immediately said goodbye to Zhang Rong, carrying Xu Damao, who was drunk as a dead dog.

Zhang Rong took out the remaining dishes and asked Jiang Fan and the others to take them home.

After getting drunk, Xu Damao played one of his few roles. "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? Who are you insulting? I, Xu Damao, have never taken back anything I have given away! Take it and eat it. If you can't finish it, throw it away."

Jiang Fan covered his mouth. What are you pouring? Wasting food is a serious sin. "Sister-in-law, just keep it and eat it. Don't let the child starve."

"Brother Jiang, I won't say anything to you guys."

How could Zhang Rong not see that this person was taking care of their family? Every family has its own problems. Although Li Weiguo was a section chief, with a monthly salary and allowance of over 100 yuan, a truly high income, he was still a soldier. Every month, he would set aside a portion of his salary to send to the families of his fallen comrades.

Zhang Rong expressed her understanding and support for this. When she married Li Weiguo, she was even prepared to be a widow. She was already luckier than many people.

It's just that life has been tough these past two years, and Li Weiguo isn't willing to stop paying him. It's only natural that Zhang Rong feels some resentment towards taking care of the family. In a family, there has to be someone who takes care of the household.

After returning to the courtyard, Jiang Fan called Jiang Yang over and asked him to send Xu Damao back home.

Jiang Yang saluted, "I promise to complete the mission."

Kicking the kid on the butt, Jiang Fan scolded him with a smile, "Go play somewhere else."

Jiang Fan has been worrying a lot about his cousin, but now it seems that everything is worth it. As long as this kid can survive as a soldier, he would be willing to stay in the army for the rest of his life.

Moreover, he has made such a great contribution this time, so the steel rolling mill should at least give him two jobs, even if it means giving him many. In this way, Jiang Yue and Qi Ting can also go to work.

By then, it can be said that everyone in the Jiang family will have a job.

Life is going great and beautiful.

But right now, he still had to get past Shen Yue. The last time he'd fought the robber while buying charcoal, he'd won a crushing victory, but he'd still been scolded by his mother. This time, the situation was even more serious, so it was best to tell the truth.

Unexpectedly, after Jiang Fan finished telling the story, although Shen Yue was worried, she did not react too much. After making sure that he was not injured, she let him go back and have a good rest.

Before leaving, Jiang Fan couldn't help but ask, "Mom, don't you blame me?"

Shen Yue smiled slightly. "Why should I blame you? You did a great job this time. You didn't rush towards the criminals alone. You even asked for help. You didn't put yourself in danger. You told me as soon as you came back. I'm glad you came back safely."

Jiang Fan felt warm inside, "Mom, I want to eat noodles tonight."

"it is good."

Lying on the bed, Jiang Fan closed his eyes and his breathing gradually became calmer.

……

The Chengdong Police Station was extremely busy today. First, they caught the gold thieves, and then they discovered a hidden spy line.

As soon as this news was reported, it immediately alarmed the top leaders.

The order was given to find out the situation of the personnel on this line and their tasks at all costs, and to arrest those who should be arrested and kill those who should be killed.

It can be predicted that the public security in the old city will be busy again in the next few days.

When Guan Chang learned that his identity as a spy was exposed, he honestly confessed the location of his buried gold. Director Zheng, who learned the news, immediately reported it.

After receiving the news, the public security department of Liao Province sent a team of hundreds of people to excavate.

In just one afternoon, the remaining 600 taels of gold were dug out.

Xiao Li, the team leader, checked each piece of gold and finally felt relieved after confirming that it was the lost gold. As the person in charge of the gold case, he hadn't had a good night's sleep in recent days. All he saw was gold.
