"I suspect my husband isn't human at all."
In 1983, by the old槐樹 (Chinese Scholar Tree) at the village entrance, Jiang Hongguo finished saying this to the visiting police uncl...
Chapter 66 Chapter 66 The treasure of the store is what Hong Guo will use...
After setting a time, Hongguo and everyone planned to return to Shenzhen. Lao Jiao and Guizhi were in charge of the new mine here. Xiao Zheng and Shi Jinzhou discussed going back to expand the processing workshop into a processing plant and do jewelry business, including gold jewelry and gemstone jewelry. Hongguo could do both. She was only responsible for selecting the jade materials. If she didn't understand the business, she would leave it to those who knew and she would not make any random comments.
Professor Cheng treated Hongguo and his group to a meal. Before they set off, Director Wei didn't come to see them. Did he really trust them so much?
After waking up and leaving early in the morning, Hong Guo was a little worried and discussed with Gu Changzong: "Changzong, should we say hello to Director Wei before leaving? Otherwise, it will make us look guilty."
Gu Changzong was taking off the quilt cover, and Hongguo was standing by the bed folding them together. After asking, she paused for a moment, waiting for him to speak.
Gu Changzong thought it was unnecessary, so he quickly folded the bed sheets and quilt covers and put them in his bag, saying, "Don't be too warm, keep it cool. He will come to us if there is something. I don't understand how someone as eager for quick success and radical as Xu Wenying can continue to work for him. I don't want to take the initiative to find him."
Hong Guo had to explain this to Director Wei. How could Xu Wenying say that she didn't want her, knowing such an important secret? If she was really driven away, she would talk nonsense. If she was locked up, she would be afraid that it would discourage others. But she would definitely be marginalized slowly.
Gu Changzong accepted this statement. He didn't like Xu Wenying very much and felt attacked and threatened, so he might as well take advantage of this opportunity and kick Xu Wenying further away.
Gu Changzong said that news came from Yushan. Xu Wenying went to find Yu Hai. Once the special medicine was stopped, Yu Hai's condition worsened. Xu Wenying used the special medicine as a bargaining chip and asked Yu Hai to help with one more thing.
"She wanted to defraud Yushan, and Yushan informed us." Gu Changzong said.
Yu Shan's answer concerned Qu Lian. Hong Guo really began to be annoyed with Xu Wenying. After thinking about it, he discussed it with Gu Changzong and asked Qu Lian to give advice to Yu Shan.
Not long after, Qu Lian came back from outside with breakfast, shook her head quietly, and said that it was impossible to persuade Yu Shan, he had his own ideas. Gu Changzong told Hong Guo not to worry, Hong Guo sighed inwardly and could only deal with it as it happened.
After breakfast, everyone said goodbye to Professor Cheng and got on the car. They first sent Xiao Zheng, Shi Jinzhou and Qu Lian to the bus station, letting them take the bus and then the train back to Shenzhen. Hong Guo and Chang Zong drove the transport truck back to unload the jade raw materials and then returned to the provincial capital.
After leaving the town and arriving in the city, Xu Wenying stopped the road and took Hongguo and Gu Changzong to the hospital. This time they were in a suite. When Hongguo came in, she saw a weak Yu Hai with a desperate struggle on his face.
Hongguo didn't even look at her, went into the inner room of the suite, and saw Director Wei.
Director Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Comrade Wen Ying is very capable. She bypassed me and reported to the higher-ups. The higher-ups agreed to her request this time, but if she makes trouble again, she will be detained."
Hong Guo said angrily: "You treat him like this, and you still expect him to be on the same side with us? If you put yourself in his shoes, can you do it? Don't expect Changzong to fix the mess that Xu Wenying caused. At most, I will let him run away on his own. I still have some money. That child is always a blank slate. If you want to educate him and use him, you can't do anything to me. I'll see how things will be dealt with in the end."
Director Wei knew that Gu Changzong and others thought differently from normal people. Others would compromise for their families, and Gu Changzong would do the same. But if he was forced like Xu Wenying, what Jiang Hongguo said would really happen.
He was not responsible for this incident and said, "Comrade Wen Ying is fully responsible for this matter. It won't take long. Please wait patiently."
Xu Wenying gambled everything on this, and she became equal to Director Wei, and even had the chance to sideline Director Wei. In such a major security incident, she could not help but fight for it. She had to be in a core position and absolutely did not want to be marginalized.
Xu Wenying didn't say anything. She was more nervous than anyone else.
Soon, there was movement in the ward outside, first the sound of a door opening, and then the sound of Yu Hai and Yu Shan talking.
First, Yu Hai asked: "Yu Shan, you are not my brother anymore, right?"
"You don't have to keep silent. I know it even if you don't say it. I just want to hear you say it yourself. I can't hold on for a few days. Just tell me, isn't that okay?"
"No." Yu Shan said coldly, "No one can force me unless I am willing. For me, death is a matter of life or death. It is just a choice. I don't want to tell you, and I won't tell you even if I die."
These words were not something Yu Hai's younger brother could say. Yu Hai guessed that this was not her brother anymore. She thought she was lucky because she met Lao Feng before taking revenge. Now that she had taken revenge, her luck had run out.
"Who are you then? Aren't you afraid of being caught?"
"I'm not really scared. If I'm caught, I'll die. I can still die. So, what's there to be afraid of?"
Yu Shan knew there was someone in the cubicle, so he kicked the door open. Two plainclothes officers with guns immediately rushed in, pointing their guns at Yu Shan.
Hong Guo was afraid that the bullets were merciless, so he immediately pushed Chang Zong to the corner, as far away from Yu Shan and Xu Wenying as possible. However, the compartment was very small, and Yu Shan was much stronger than an ordinary person. When he jumped around, the bullets did not have eyes, so it was really dangerous.
Jiang Hongguo suggested: "You guys can make a fuss, but Changzong and I are innocent people who were dragged here. Let us go out first and make room for you guys to perform, okay?"
Xu Wenying already knew that he had screwed up, and he wanted to drag as many people as possible out of the way: "You can't go out. Anyone who dares to act rashly will be shot on the spot."
Wei Liangzheng angrily shouted, "Xu Wenying, this is not the time for you to mess around. Put your guns down, there is no one dangerous here."
Xu Wenying: "At least I am the one who makes the decision now. Yushan, I advise you not to act rashly."
Yu Shan said, "Did you really not understand what I said outside just now? I said I can live or die, it's just a choice. You don't believe it, right? Then I will prove it to you."
Yu Shan suddenly rushed towards Xu Wenying, and Hong Guo heard a gunshot.
She was just an ordinary person. When she heard the loud noise, she screamed instinctively and hid in Gu Changzong's arms.
Then Hongguo heard Xu Wenying's screams and several consecutive gunshots. When she raised her head, Yu Shan's figure had already flashed outside. His speed was much faster than that of an ordinary person. She didn't have time to chase him out, and the sound of glass shattering was heard.
Director Wei was agile and did not bother to check on Xu Wenying on the ground. He chased to the window, but Yu Shan had already disappeared. This was the third floor, more than ten meters high, and he just jumped down like that. All we could see was his calm and composed way out of the door and his back as he kept running.
Seeing that Yu Shan was still able to run and was not in danger of his life, Wei Liangzheng felt relieved for some reason.
Xu Wenying was not so lucky. Hongguo and Changzong were standing far away, and Yushan did not move towards them just now, but rushed towards Xu Wenying. All the bullets were fired at that side. Two bullets hit Xu Wenying, one on the cheek and one on the wrist. They were not fatal injuries, but they were bloody and mangled. Although his life was saved, Xu Wenying's hand that could hold a gun was destroyed, and his face would definitely be left with a scar if it was repaired.
Although Hongguo had no mercy, he still couldn't bear to watch or hear it.
She was still in shock and asked Director Wei: "You are here, so there should be no need for me and Changzong to explain. Let's go back first."
Wei Liangzheng had another question to ask: Are Gu Changzong and his fellow villagers all of such a character that they would perish together with their loved ones? He felt that Yushan was kept because of Gu Changzong and Hongguo, otherwise, everyone in the room might have died.
Also, looking at the calm and composed Gu Changzong, could he catch up with Yushan if he wanted to?
After Wei Liangzheng took over the scene, he had the power and agreed to Jiang Hongguo's request: "Okay, go and do your own thing first, and then go back to the provincial capital. Don't run around."
Hongguo nodded. She could stop running around, but she didn't agree on Changzong's behalf.
Xu Wenying needs surgery and the gunshots at the scene need an explanation. Someone will come to deal with these issues soon. Before that, Hongguo wants to run away and not get involved in the trouble caused by Xu Wenying.
When she was able to leave, Yu Hai was only breathing his last breath. Hong Guo took a look at him, and without stopping, she pulled Chang Zong and ran quickly back to the car in one breath, urging him to drive. They drove out of the city in one breath, drove onto the national highway, looked around, and made sure that no one was following them. Only then did she feel relieved.
"Changzong, do you think Xu Wenying is crazy? Those bullets were Yushan's revenge on Xu Wenying, right?"
People still want to get approval from people around them for things they have already guessed. Hongguo knew this was the case and just wanted to say it out loud and discuss it with Changzong.
Gu Changzong was quite calm and even felt that Yu Shan showed some mercy: "Yu Shan was thinking about us and was afraid that we would be implicated, otherwise Xu Wenying would die today."
Changzong and his fellow villagers have a strong desire for revenge, but fortunately, they have established friendship among themselves.
Hong Guo was worried about Yu Shan: "Where can he go?"
Gu Changzong freed one hand, grasped Hongguo's hand, and told her not to worry: "There are many mountains here, and it borders the border. He can hide anywhere and get away with it. Don't worry about him. With him making such a fuss, we shouldn't be forced in the future."
Yes, if this happens, they will be ready to die together at any time, which is not good for anyone. Xu Wenying is in big trouble this time and she is injured. She will be unable to take care of herself for a long time.
They seldom stopped to rest along the way. One reason was that Hongguo was anxious, and the other was that the car was loaded with half of jade raw materials. Hongguo felt sleepy, so he took a nap in the car. During the day, he went to a hotel to wash up and rest. After returning to Shenzhen, Xiao Zheng and the others had not arrived yet.
Hongguo finally held Diandian in her arms. She had missed the little one for more than a month. When Diandian saw her and Changzong, she happily hugged her neck and refused to let go.
Lao Zheng said: "Don't be fooled by him. He only yells that he misses you before going to bed. He has a lot of fun during the day."
This is good, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to get away. Hongguo took Diandian, Gu Changzong and Lao Zheng to the factory to unload the goods.
Lao Zheng looked at the rear compartment and nodded with satisfaction, thinking that the trip was quite fruitful.
Hongguo told them nonchalantly to go and come back early. Changzong would definitely tell Lao Zheng about what happened on this trip, so let them talk alone. She was thankful in her heart that they finally returned safely.
Gu Changzong came back in the afternoon and said that Lao Zheng stayed in the factory to sort the raw materials. Hongguo gave Diandian to him and took the time to catch up on his sleep.
Before dinner, Xiao Zheng and the others arrived. They didn't know about Yu Shan's situation in the hospital yet. While having dinner together, Hong Guo briefly talked about it, saying that Yu Hai's younger brother Yu Shan had run away, but she didn't know the specific reason.
Xiao Zheng and Shi Jinzhou asked around for a while and found out that what Hong Guo said was flawless. Old Zheng already knew the details and Qu Lian didn't care at all, so the matter was over.
Xiao Zheng wanted to stay here. With so much jade raw materials, he and Shi Jinzhou decided to expand the scale and open more counters in major cities across the country. They wanted Lao Zheng to stay in the factory to help.
Old Zheng wanted to take Diandian with him, but was too lazy to pay attention to him. Gu Changzong asked Qu Lian to stay. Xiao Zheng and Shi Jinzhou, both young and rich, seemed really good at setting up scams. With Qu Lian around, their personal safety could be guaranteed.
Hong Guochangzong and Lao Zheng, along with Diandian, returned to the provincial capital from Shenzhen.
They finally got home. After more than a month, a lot of dust had accumulated in the house. Gu Changzong and Lao Zheng stayed at home to clean it. Hongguo had to go and do what Wei Liangzheng had asked her to do. She first went to Xiao Zheng's antique shop to pick up an antique she needed.
The two salesmen were happy but also worried when they saw their boss finally coming back. They found out that Boss Xiao Zheng couldn't come back for the time being, so they gritted their teeth and said to Hong Guo, "Sister Jiang, our store's treasure was forcibly bought by someone, and they only paid one-tenth of the price."
Unfortunately, the store's treasure is something Hongguo needs, so he must take it back.
