Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Send You Home

Ye Jinhong said several times in a row, "Let me take you home."

Shu Niannian couldn't refuse, so she nodded in agreement.

As for why Ye Jinhong insisted on sending her home, she didn't ask. She thought it was normal. She and Ye Jinhong were engaged, and it was normal for her boyfriend to want to send her home and spend more time with her.

The two talked for a while at the gate. Ye Jinhong watched Shu Niannian walk into the campus before turning around and leaving.

Sun Yingzi had a math problem that she couldn't solve, so she thought about asking Shu Niannian after lunch.

As a result, the preparatory bell rang before Shu Niannian walked into the classroom with light steps.

Sun Yingzi was eagerly waiting, and when she saw Shu Niannian enter the classroom, she excitedly grabbed Shu Niannian's arm and said coquettishly, "Hey, where have you been? I've been waiting for you all afternoon."

Shu Niannian looked at Sun Yingzi wrinkling her nose and pretending to be angry, and couldn't help laughing, "What's the matter? I was in the classroom every noon before, and you never looked for me. Today, I just went out for a while, and you started looking for me. How can it be such a coincidence?"

"In order to catch up with you and get into the same university as you, I've been studying so hard. No way! You have to compensate me. At least tell me where you went at noon, otherwise I'll be angry, hum!" Sun Yingzi pretended to be angry.

Shu Niannian did not hide it, "Okay, okay! Miss, I went to have lunch with my boyfriend at noon, so I was not in the classroom."

When Sun Yingzi heard Ye Jinhong, she became even angrier. "I still have math problems that I can't solve, and you're still torturing me. Woohoo, are you going to give an ordinary person like me a chance to survive?"

"No! You have to teach me this math problem, otherwise I will be angry!"

Sun Yingzi crossed her arms and her mouth was pouting, and Shu Niannian was laughing to death. She simply couldn't do anything about her. "Okay, I promise to teach you this math problem."

"Well, that's good enough." After getting Shu Niannian's assurance, Sun Yingzi returned to her seat happily. The bell rang, and Shu Niannian listened to the class attentively and soon forgot about Ye Jinhong.

Ye Jinhong returned to the police station and immediately asked Zhang Tianzheng to get out the internal investigation materials of Li Changhong. He wanted to get into the state as soon as possible, but after trying several times, he just couldn't calm down and do things. Shu Niannian's smiling face occupied his mind and could not be shaken off.

Ye Jinhong stood up and walked to the window. He smoked several cigarettes in a row before reluctantly sitting down. Together with Zhang Tianzheng, he took out the internal investigation materials of Li Changhong and analyzed them one by one.

"Li Changhong has been entrenched in Shu County for so long, and has taken root so deeply right under your noses, but you didn't notice anything wrong at all?" Ye Jinhong found it incredible. "He is not secretly greedy, he has been openly stealing and converting state-owned assets."

Zhang Tianzheng's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He didn't know how to answer Ye Jinhong's question. As the chief of a police station, he was a well-known figure in Shu County and had good relationships with people. Although he didn't have dinner parties every day, occasionally when there was a big event, his colleagues would remember him and invite him to have dinner together. It would be absolutely false to say that he knew nothing about Li Changhong's affairs.

Zhang Tianzheng scratched his head. "I know, but what he did is not my business, so there is no need for me to intervene. Besides, since he dared to do it so blatantly, it means that he has already got through all the connections. Many things are secrets known to everyone. He has been doing this for so many years."

Ye Jinhong is not a fledgling idealist. He can understand these things if he thinks about them a little. He just feels that the situation in Shu County is much more serious than he imagined.

"Then do you know how he stole state-owned assets? As far as I know, the accounts of the machinery factory are reported to the Haicheng Ministry of Finance every month, and the auditors come to check the accounts every quarter. It would be difficult for Li Changhong to put the money into his own pocket without anyone noticing, right?"

Zhang Tianzheng is now on Ye Jinhong's team, so he naturally tells everything he knows. "I have heard a little bit about this. The main reason why Li Changhong has not been found out for so many years is that he did not touch the assets of the machinery factory at all."

Ye Jinhong frowned, "What did you say?!"

"He didn't embezzle the money from the machinery factory? Then where did all the assets under his name come from? It is clearly written on Li Changhong's information card that his family has been poor farmers for three generations, and there is no such thing as property left by their ancestors. His wife is his college classmate. Although she has a good education, his father-in-law's family is just an ordinary working-class family. They are well-off, but they definitely cannot have such a large amount of financial resources."

Ye Jinhong didn't believe that Li Changhong didn't embezzle. He looked at Zhang Tianzheng with burning eyes. Zhang Tianzheng said, "He really didn't transfer or embezzle the property of the machinery factory. Li Changhong is a cunning person. He contacted private jobs from outside, brought them to the machinery factory for processing, and earned the difference. Therefore, his account is clean and the audit can't find any problems at all."

Ye Jinhong was suddenly startled. He slowly sat up straight. So this is what happened?

"The masters in the machinery factory are all very skilled, and they are paid monthly, not piecework. Every year during the off-season, Li Changhong will arrange private jobs for the factory. In order to shut the masters up, he will give them symbolic benefits. Although the masters are suspicious, no one dares to say anything. First, there must be Li Changhong's confidants in this factory. Second, the masters come to work in the machinery factory, aren't they just for the salary? The welfare benefits of the machinery factory in our Shu County are among the best. They probably know something, but for the sake of their jobs, they will never tell anyone."

Ye Jinhong frowned and asked why Li Changhong insisted on keeping his position as the director of the machinery factory. It turned out that he was taking the route of processing with supplied materials.

So he's not afraid to put his wealth out in the open?

"But taking advantage of workers to gain benefits is also a form of corruption, it's just done in a more secretive way and is harder to check."

Zhang Tianzheng nodded in agreement, "That is to say, Li Changhong has the final say in the machinery factory now. Those goods are not recorded at all. As long as they are processed and shipped out, the order is considered completed and there is no trace of them at all."

Ye Jinhong snorted coldly and said, "That may not be the case. As long as it has been done, there will always be evidence left."

Otherwise, Li Changhong would not be in such a hurry to find him for bribery.

"There is no evidence here at the machinery factory. Those small factories that hired Li Changhong to do private work always left account books. We can't find evidence at the machinery factory, so we can start from outside. Go investigate and see which small factory owners are close to Li Changhong. You can invite them to have tea."

Zhang Tianzheng looked at Ye Jinhong with bright eyes, "Yes, why didn't I think of this relationship? Wait, I'll do it right away."

Ye Jinhong chuckled. It was obviously a compliment, but Zhang Tianzheng always said it so sincerely. It was not that Zhang Tianzheng had not thought about this relationship. He was just waiting for someone to take the lead in breaking it.

This old rascal!

Zhang Tianzheng went to collect information and invited people to the police station for tea, while Ye Jinhong took all the information about Li Changhong and the machinery factory and studied it carefully again. After he had a clear idea of ​​it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, Li Changhong must be beaten to death on the ground.

Ye Jinhong has carefully studied the economic transaction data of all the small bosses, small factory managers and big factory managers in Shu County. He has almost collected all the evidence and is only waiting to nail down the evidence of Li Changhong's crime. Then he can close the net in Shu County.

So far, he has been in Shu County for two weeks and he has not moved. It is not that he dares not move, but he prefers the feeling of thunderclapping out of the blue and catching everything in one fell swoop.

In the evening, Shu Niannian had just walked out of the school gate with her schoolbag when she was called over by the silly guard. In Shu County, guard Zhou Wengang was no longer in uniform. He was wearing a navy blue shirt and looked at Shu Niannian with a righteous face. "Well, the commander asked you to wait for him for a while. He can't get away now." Zhou Wengang came out with candy tickets and egg cake tickets. "These are the tickets given to me by the commander. He said if you are hungry, let me buy you something delicious."

Zhou Wengang's face turned purple. He still didn't know how to address Shu Niannian. He wanted to call her the captain's wife, but Shu Niannian hadn't married Ye Jinhong yet. He wanted to call her little sister, but it seemed too frivolous. He wanted to call her Miss Shu, but Zhou Wengang felt he couldn't bring himself to say that.

Shu Niannian found it funny to see Zhou Wengang scratching his head anxiously, "You can call me whatever you want, even my name. I'm fine with it. Don't be embarrassed."

Last time, Shu Niannian noticed that Zhou Wengang’s expression was not right, so she asked Ye Jinhong. Ye Jinhong told her that Zhou Wengang was worried because he didn’t know how to address her.

But it’s been two weeks, why haven’t you gotten over the worry yet?

Zhou Wengang knew that Shu Niannian was easy to get along with, but he was troubled about how to address her.

"Otherwise, how about you call me Shu? All my classmates in school call me that."

Zhou Wengang was so embarrassed that he wanted to pick his toes. Now that he saw Shu Niannian helping him out, he was naturally grateful. "Then classmate Shu, please wait for me in the lobby of the police station. I'll be back soon."

Shu Niannian nodded and agreed, and Zhou Wengang ran to the grocery store.

As soon as Shu Niannian sat down in the lobby of the police station, Zhou Wengang placed a box of egg cakes and a bag of White Rabbit candies in front of her. He also brought her a glass of water. "The captain was afraid that you would choke, so he specifically told me to pour you a glass of water."

Shu Niannian, who had just put a piece of egg cake in her mouth, suddenly felt her face blushing. Why?

Ye Jinhong is always like this, always paying attention to every detail when it comes to taking care of her.

He was like this in his previous life. As long as she was by his side, she seemed to become an idiot in an instant. She didn't have to think about anything or do anything. He took care of everything properly and thoughtfully, and she just had to eat, drink, defecate and urinate.

Thinking back to her previous life, Shu Niannian couldn't help but smile.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Ye Jinhong finally came out of the office. He whispered a few words to Zhang Tianzheng and then walked towards Shu Niannian.

Seeing Shu Niannian, Ye Jinhong's fatigue was swept away, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

His voice was low and mellow, whispering in Shu Niannian's ear. Shu Niannian felt half of her earlobe tingling. She was about to say that she didn't wait long, but when she looked up, she met Ye Jinhong's deep eyes. In an instant, Shu Niannian felt her face burning. Ye Jinhong's eyes seemed to have hooks and could speak.

Shu Niannian nodded and then shook her head, feeling like she was going crazy.

Ye Jinhong chuckled softly, then pulled Shu Niannian out of the police station.

The sun has set, and the red glow is like a veil scattered across the sky, making it soft and lively.

The two of them walked on a country path. The sparse pedestrians on the road passed by them. Ye Jinhong kept staring at Shu Nian Nian like a pervert.

Shu Niannian's face turned red as if she was drunk. She was very embarrassed. "The people on this road are all from the front and back villages. We all know each other. You are staring at me like a pervert. What does it look like?"

Ye Jinhong still stared at Shu Nian Nian, "I am sending my girlfriend home, so what's wrong with looking at her a few more times? Whoever wants to say it can say it. You will take the college entrance examination in another month. We will get married after you finish the college entrance examination, okay?"

Shu Niannian lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Then you have to tell my parents. I can't make the decision. I'm a grown woman, how can I discuss marriage with you in private?"

"So you agree?"

Shu Niannian felt a little embarrassed, so she snorted and said, "No."

"No matter what, you clearly agreed." Ye Jinhong kept his eyes on Shu Niannian.

"Oh, no!" Shu Niannian continued to act like a spoiled child. Her voice was soft and delicate, with a sticky little ending.

How could Ye Jinhong stand this? He couldn't stand Shu Niannian usually talking to him with a smile. Now Shu Niannian spoke softly and Ye Jinhong felt half of his body numb.

His Adam's apple rolled, and after a long while, he whispered in a low voice, "I want to kiss you."

Although his voice was low, they were the only two people on the road at this time. Apart from the occasional chirping of crickets and the sound of their footsteps, the only sounds were their breathing and Ye Jinhong's words, "I want to kiss you."
