Looking at those honest faces, Ren Jingxiao knew that there must be someone with bad intentions hiding here.
"What are you all doing gathered here for? Aren't you going to work? Are you just waiting to starve?" The captain of Lushan Brigade was furious when he saw that they were more active than him.
"Everyone is worried. Didn't they say higher-ups were going to investigate? It's all in the past now, so why are they still investigating?"
The person who spoke was an elderly man who stood at the front of the crowd and looked to be of some status.
"Old Party Secretary, why are you here too? What could have happened? It was just an accidental injury! Look, the captain of the Black Mountain Brigade has also come to cooperate with the investigation. When he arrives, we can just explain everything clearly."
When the team leader saw the person speaking, he immediately went to greet him. This was an old revolutionary from their Lushan Brigade.
In the Lushan Brigade, you can disobey the brigade leader, but no one disobeys the old branch secretary. However, the old branch secretary basically doesn't care about things anymore.
"That's good. If Bangguo hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about this." The old branch secretary felt relieved, holding the arm of a young man next to him, and walked back unsteadily.
"It's the same with Bangguo. He tells the old Party Secretary everything. It's so troublesome for him to come here at such an old age."
The captain of the Lushan Brigade muttered a few words as he watched the people leave.
"The old branch secretary is in good spirits, and Bangguo takes good care of him." Several members of the Lushan Brigade also started chatting.
But he was chased away by the team leader after a while. He just wanted to join in the fun!
"The old branch secretary of your brigade is quite respected. We don't have such an elder who can take charge of the overall situation."
Ren Jingxiao spoke with envy, not caring at all about their captain's wide eyes.
What does this mean? Doesn't their brigade have someone capable of taking charge? Is he unqualified as the brigade leader?
"That's right. Our old Party Secretary once participated in the revolution. The team leader can be replaced, but the old Party Secretary has never been replaced."
"But the old branch secretary had a bad fate. His wife died when he was young and he never remarried. He had one son, but he joined the army and died too."
"He left behind a grandson who was still an infant. However, that year the brigade was struck by famine, and the child was lost. He was only found last year, and now the old branch secretary finally has something to look forward to in his old age."
The captain of the Lushan Brigade saw that the captain of the Heishan Brigade was very angry, so he said a few more words.
Ren Jingxiao had only heard of the one who recognized it last year. He wondered who could have started the water source incident last time?
Anyone who can lead the entire brigade to cause trouble at this time must be someone who has a say in the entire brigade.
Ren Jingxiao remained calm, and no one noticed anything about the inquiry.
Several people were waiting here for the investigators, while Ningxia, who was still in the Montenegro Brigade, became nervous when he heard the noise outside the door.
Ningxia didn't say a word, and the tiger inside the door pounced out first, but each time the man was very fast.
He seemed to know this place very well and what was in the yard. Every time he came, he pretended to pass by and didn't seem to stop.
He walked back and forth countless times. Even if Ningxia was a fool, she would know that something was wrong outside, but she was afraid that someone was deliberately luring her out.
She didn't open the door, but asked Cannon to command a tiger to go out, but it always missed its target.
The only people who appeared outside were members of the large group passing by, scaring everyone else to death.
After so many times, Ningxia even breathed lighter. Dapao and the four tigers surrounded her, and she listened carefully to the movements outside.
She could feel that the person didn't get too close, he was just wandering around her house. Ningxia thought of Zhang Kangcheng.
However, it was broad daylight and there were people coming and going outside, so he didn't dare to do anything blatantly, but it was not ruled out that he was planning something.
He chose the time when Ren Jingxiao was not around, it was impossible that he just wanted to scare her.
"Ningxia, are you at home?" Ningxia had no plan to go out. She didn't believe that the man really dared to come in.
But when Ningxia heard Zhang Yining's voice, she was stunned for a moment. She asked Dapao to go out and scare her.
Dapao was a clever man and chased Zhang Yining to the educated youth camp. This also ensured her safety, and Ningxia never left from the beginning to the end.
It’s not that she is too cautious, but she feels that if Zhang Kangcheng wants to coax Zhang Yining into doing something, he will succeed.
At this time, Zhang Kangcheng was waiting anxiously beside a tree not far from the educated youth site and Ningxia's home.
He spent so much time trying to make black powder but still couldn't make it. However, he secretly hid one of the ones made by Wang Weitian.
He originally planned that if he could succeed, he would not let go of Zhang Yining and Ningxia.
But now he only wants to destroy Ningxia, but he also knows that there is only one of them, and the power is definitely not enough.
He had to lure the person out, and do it without anyone noticing.
If he didn't destroy Ningxia, she would sooner or later tell others about his making of gunpowder, and he couldn't let her have any evidence against him.
Today is a rare opportunity. Her boyfriend is not here, and he would never find an opportunity normally.
But Ningxia was always cunning, and the tigers attacked him one after another, and he was discovered several times.
He has climbed trees countless times to avoid these tigers.
He didn't know how many tigers there were in the yard, nor did he know where Ningxia was hiding in the yard. He had to use this black powder when he was safe.
Until Zhang Yining came to him, he thought the opportunity had come, but he was disappointed again. She didn't even see Zhang Yining.
Zhang Kangcheng felt that Ningxia was such a selfish person, and Zhang Yining was so sincere to her that sooner or later she would be schemed against and nothing would be left of her.
Zhang Kangcheng knew that he would not find an opportunity today, so he hurried back to the educated youth site. He could not expose himself.
Ningxia waited until Ren Jingxiao came back before her restless heart returned to normal.
"What happened to Xia Xia?" The moment Ren Jingxiao opened the door, he felt the tension of the situation where one person and several tigers were together.
"Come in and talk, and lock the door." Ningxia pulled Ren Jingxiao in. Since Ren Jingxiao didn't find anyone outside, it meant that the person had already left.
Ningxia told Ren Jingxiao what happened today.
After hearing this, Ren Jingxiao felt a surge of fear in his heart and couldn't help but blame the team leader. The Lushan Team had no intention of doing anything to him.
"Is it Zhang Kangcheng?" Ren Jingxiao and Ningxia thought of the same thing.
Ningxia nodded. She was not afraid of thieves stealing, but she was afraid of thieves thinking about it. She remembered something Zhang's mother said.
It was originally used to protect Zhang Yining, but Zhang Yining doesn't need it anymore, so she can use it.
"Xia Xia, I discovered something strange at Lushan Brigade today."
Ren Jingxiao told Ningxia what he knew about the old branch secretary and what happened later when investigators came and severely criticized the captains of the two brigades.
He knew that the investigators were putting on an act, but he didn't rule out the possibility that they were up to something.
After listening to Ren Jingxiao's words, Ningxia also suspected that the grandson recognized by the old branch secretary had also been discovered by these people who came to investigate?
So you went to Lushan Brigade under the pretext of investigation?
Ningxia wants to put on a show, so she should also put on a show for Zhang Kangcheng!
