Qin Anning and Lu Cheng, who were following behind, looked at each other. They didn't expect that this man was Mengmeng's father.
Looking at Shen Wanyi again, isn’t the age difference between the two a bit too big?
It is rare to see an older man marrying a younger woman nowadays.
When Shen Wanyi saw Su Chengye, all the fear and grievance in her heart came out at once, and her eyes unconsciously turned red.
"Wanyi, what's wrong? What happened?" Su Chengye was very worried when he saw the look on his beloved wife's face.
"Lao Su, Mengmeng, Mengmeng was almost stolen by human traffickers on the train. It was Comrade Qin and Comrade Lu who saved her."
The train station is a busy place, not a place to talk.
Su Chengye nodded politely to express his gratitude, "I'll take you two comrades wherever you want to go."
Qin Anning saw the car behind him and swallowed his words of refusal.
It’s not a bad thing to meet a powerful person in a strange place.
Lu Cheng and Qin An Ning were on the same page, and he knew what she was thinking by looking at her expression. "If it's not too much trouble, just send us to the guesthouse."
"No trouble, please get in the car."
The car drove all the way to a hotel in the city center that looked very high-end. This kind of hotel is generally not open to the public.
Su Chengye took out his work ID and easily opened two single rooms for the two of them.
"Comrade Lu, Comrade Qin, thank you for your hard work. Please take a good rest first. Our whole family will welcome you tonight."
He didn't understand what was going on, so he maintained superficial courtesy towards Lu Cheng and Qin An Ning.
"No need, Comrade Su, Mengmeng is so cute, no matter who meets her, I will not ignore her."
Lu Cheng pointed to the hotel behind him and said, "We are very grateful that you have arranged such a good place for us to stay."
What he meant was that we would accept this thank-you gift, but we didn't need anything else.
Meng Meng hugged Qin An Ning tightly and acted coquettishly, "I want to treat my sister to a meal."
Su Chengye smiled and patted Lu Cheng on the shoulder. "No matter what, we have to do our best to be the best hosts. It's a deal. I'll come pick you up tonight."
He was a bit strong-willed, and neither Lu Cheng nor Qin An Ning could guess his identity.
Since they are here, they might as well make the best of it. They also want to find out about the situation here. They don’t have to go to their grandparents’ house until tomorrow, so it won’t affect their dinner.
The two went upstairs to put down their luggage and planned to go out for a walk to get to know the situation here.
At this time, Shen Wanyi was telling Su Chengye what happened on the train.
"If Comrade Qin hadn't discovered it in time, I wouldn't have known Mengmeng was taken away."
Speaking of this now, Shen Wanyi is still terrified, "Lao Su, it's all my fault. I almost lost our daughter."
Su Chengye was horrified and frightened when he heard this.
He suppressed his anger and comforted his wife, "It's okay, Wanyi, look, Mengmeng is fine, she has the help of noble people, she will be fine."
"Old Su, you must thank Comrade Qin and Comrade Lu."
Su Chengye patted Shen Wanyi’s back to comfort her, “Okay, don’t worry.
You must have been worried sick all this way. Now go and have a good sleep. We will thank you two comrades in the evening."
After coaxing the person to sleep, Su Chengye went to the office with a gloomy face.
Although he was the director of the Revolutionary Committee, he had never done anything immoral. Now someone was attacking his daughter, which he could not tolerate.
After making several calls, he finally contacted the public security bureau where the human traffickers were detained.
Since you have committed a crime, just come to his labor camp and he will take good care of them.
On the other side, Qin Anning and Lu Cheng first went to the department store. Since they didn't have tickets here, they just looked and didn't buy anything to get a feel for the situation.
Relying on his experience in finding black markets in various places, Lu Cheng quickly found the black market in Xingcheng. The two of them exchanged some tickets here in case of emergency.
After the transaction, Lu Cheng offered a cigarette to the man and said, "Comrade, how do I get to Yong County from here?"
"Just take a bus from the highway bus station."
Lu Cheng continued to ask, "Do you know the Lanjiang Brigade?"
The man shook his head. "Some places here are vast and sparsely populated, especially the lower brigades. Some brigades are very far apart. I don't know the place you're talking about."
There is no other way. It seems I can only wait until I get to Yong County to ask.
The temperature here is a little higher than in the Northeast, but it is still quite cold. The northwest wind blowing on your face is also very painful.
In the evening, Su Chengye brought his eldest son Su Yuan directly to the hotel to pick someone up.
Su Chengye had made arrangements for the restaurant in advance, and the dishes were all local specialties, such as hand-pulled lamb and sweet and sour carp, which were all delicious dishes.
A banquet naturally requires wine as an emotional catalyst. Su Chengye opened a bottle of Moutai and personally filled it for Lu Cheng. "Lady comrades, please don't force yourself. Comrade Lu, we must drink well."
After knowing the whole story, Su Chengye was filled with gratitude towards Lu Cheng and Qin Anning.
He and his wife are ten years apart in age. When they fell in love, it took them a lot of twists and turns to get together.
After his wife gave birth to his eldest son Su Yuan and second son Su Zhe, she has not been pregnant again.
Unexpectedly, Mengmeng was born ten years ago. Mengmeng is the treasure of their whole family.
"Comrade Lu, I toast to you. Thank you for saving Mengmeng."
Su Chengye raised his glass, and his two sons stood up as well, with sincere attitudes and eyes full of gratitude.
Lu Cheng held up the wine glass with both hands, "Comrade Su, I told you before that whoever encounters this matter will take care of it.
Mengmeng is so cute, and Ningning likes her very much, so let’s not talk about thanking her or not.”
Su Chengye responded with a smile and drank the wine in the glass.
Lu Cheng is good at socializing, and his work has made him travel all over the country and he has a lot of knowledge. He can chat with someone like Su Chengye who has a lot of experience without losing out.
After a few drinks, the two of them seemed to be close friends regardless of age.
"Brother Lu, you came all the way here, is there something going on?
I am the director of the Xingcheng Revolutionary Committee. My eldest son works in a winery and my second son works in a wool textile factory. As long as we can help, we will never refuse."
Su Chengye is in this position and can say such words, which shows that he is really sincere.
But the matter of grandparents is of great importance. For those of them who were sent to labor camps, even their closest relatives were afraid of being implicated. Lu Cheng and Qin An Ning did not dare to reveal the details to people they had just met.
Lu Cheng still chose the same excuse Qin Anning had given at the pharmaceutical factory. "Ningning is a technician at the pharmaceutical factory. She is developing a medicine and came here to learn about herbal medicine."
Shen Wanyi was surprised, “An Ning, I didn’t expect that at such a young age, you could actually develop medicine on your own!”
She immediately thought of her mother-in-law, who had a bad heart and was often hospitalized. She also had difficulty falling asleep at night.
I wonder if Qin Anning has done any research in this area?
