Two military jeeps stopped in front of the county hospital.
Team Leader Zhang got out of the car and went to the county hospital, intending to have a thorough medical check-up, as he could no longer trust anyone in the regiment.
"Doctor, am I alright?"
"Yes, they're all superficial wounds, they'll heal with some rest, but..."
Upon hearing this, Team Leader Zhang's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Doctor, just tell me."
The doctor glanced at his buttocks, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing serious. It's just that the person who gave you the acupuncture wasn't very skilled. Your buttocks will be swollen for half a month, and you'll be limping a bit. It will be fine in half a month."
Team Leader Zhang: "..."
His lips twitched, and he turned around to glare fiercely at his subordinate.
The two members of the investigation team who came with him looked somewhat embarrassed.
However, they felt quite aggrieved. They didn't know anything about treating illnesses, and last night when they saw the military doctor using a large needle, they couldn't stop him.
"Thank you, doctor."
Team Leader Zhang felt aggrieved, but he still breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He stood up and limped out, his buttocks aching terribly on one side.
The two investigation teams behind them quickly followed.
After leaving the county hospital, Team Leader Zhang opened the jeep door and slowly sat down.
"Hiss~"
Feeling very upset, he glanced back and saw two women in the back seat. One had swollen eyes from crying, while the other was sleeping soundly in the car.
Team Leader Zhang frowned and gave his subordinates a wink.
The investigation team members immediately woke Lu Fangfang up.
"arrive?"
Lu Fangfang rubbed her eyes; her head was still a little dizzy.
She was locked in a detention cell last night without a bed and barely slept all night.
During the day, she rode in this jeep again. There was no shock absorption, and the road was difficult to travel. Even though she doesn't get carsick, she was shaken so badly that she felt nauseous. She could only feel better if she fell asleep.
"It's still early. If you hadn't delayed us, we might have arrived at the military region this afternoon!"
Team Leader Zhang snorted coldly and ordered his men to bring out the handcuffs.
"Cuff him!"
The two investigation teams immediately handcuffed Lu Fangfang's hands together.
Zhu Haiming, who was standing next to her, also received the same treatment.
"you……"
Lu Fangfang's face darkened.
She opened her mouth, then immediately closed it again; there was no reasoning with these people.
"Hmm, not bad, this is better, it saves people from running away."
Team Leader Zhang gave a forced smile, waved his hand, and had someone drive to a state-run restaurant.
Their investigation team left in a hurry, without even having breakfast in the morning, and was delayed by Lu Fangfang, so they were starving by now.
The investigation team was unfamiliar with the county, so they randomly picked a state-run restaurant and stopped their car there.
As soon as they came out with Lu Fangfang and Zhu Haiming, they immediately attracted the attention of those around them.
People on the street were pointing and whispering about the two of them.
Lu Fangfang gritted her teeth, feeling even more uncomfortable than when she was begging.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the investigation team ordered several dishes, completely ignoring the two women.
"Comrade, give me a bowl of noodles with minced meat sauce."
Lu Fangfang was also hungry, so she ordered a bowl for herself.
Avoiding the crowd, she took out one or two cents and three grain coupons, and handed them to the shop clerk.
A bowl of noodles with minced meat sauce wasn't expensive, but the amount of food coupons she received made her feel the pinch.
After a while, the sales clerk, munching on sunflower seeds, called out from behind the counter: "The noodles with minced meat sauce are ready, come and get them yourself."
Lu Fangfang stood up and was about to walk over when she was stopped by the investigation team.
Where are you going?
"End face".
"Have you forgotten who you are? Sit down!"
Team Leader Zhang waved her hand, signaling the investigation team members to bring it over to her.
Lu Fangfang looked at the handcuffs on her hands and sighed helplessly.
With this thing around, it's inconvenient for her to eat.
She leaned close to the bowl of noodles, holding chopsticks, and forced herself to eat.
The staff at this restaurant were rude, but the noodles with minced meat sauce were alright.
The soup was probably thickened with chicken broth, and it was topped with shredded tofu. It smelled delicious, and she finished every last drop, even the soup.
They ate happily, but Zhu Haiming suffered on the side.
Smelling the aroma of the food, she secretly nudged Lu Fangfang.
"Fangfang, could you...could you lend me some money? I...I'm hungry too."
After speaking, Zhu Haiming lowered her head, her face slightly flushed.
"Comrade Zhu Haiming, I don't have many meal tickets. You should borrow some from Comrade Zhang."
Lu Fangfang wiped her mouth and pointed to the investigation team.
She refused to believe that the investigation team would let Zhu Haiming starve to death.
"Fangfang, we all came here together, and you can't even spare a few food coupons? You're so heartless!"
Lu Fangfang laughed when she heard this.
She sized up Zhu Haiming and felt that this capitalist's daughter had really changed; she was no longer as arrogant as before.
“We came together, but we’re not really friends. Besides, if you hadn’t told them about Mingcheng, I wouldn’t be in this situation.”
Lu Fangfang raised her arm, and the handcuffs clicked.
“Your class background is problematic, so I dare not give you any money. What if people accuse me of sympathizing with capitalists?”
As she spoke, she glanced at Team Leader Zhang.
The man was listening intently to what was happening over there.
"Slandering our investigation team is far more serious than sympathizing with capitalists!"
Team Leader Zhang turned around and looked at the two of them with a half-smile.
Lu Fangfang pursed her lips and closed her eyes to rest.
"Comrade Zhang... I... I..."
Team Leader Zhang didn't make things difficult for Zhu Haiming anymore and had someone bring her a multigrain steamed bun.
No matter how you look at it, this is much better than eating a meal meant to remind people of past hardships.
"Cough cough..."
Lu Fangfang opened her eyes and looked over.
Zhu Haiming was seen holding a steamed bun in both hands, eating it dryly with tears in her eyes, looking like a tragic heroine, without any of the demeanor of a young lady from a wealthy family.
"Are you really pregnant?"
Lu Fangfang couldn't help but ask a question.
Zhu Haiming's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded, then looked at her expectantly.
"Oh, the child is really suffering."
Lu Fangfang shook her head, picked up the thermos next to her, and poured a bowl of hot water for Zhu Haiming.
"Have some, don't choke."
Zhu Haiming: "..."
Her eyes welled up with tears. In her twenty years of life, she had never felt so wronged.
If she had known it would turn out like this, she would never have scalped the tickets.
