Wu Jianguo said, "If only I could go abroad... There's gold everywhere overseas. I could easily earn over $1,000 a month just by washing dishes."
What does $1,000 mean? That's over 4,000 yuan! What they earn in a month is enough for us to earn in seven or eight years!
If you work abroad for a few years and make tens of thousands of US dollars, what does it mean to suddenly become rich?!
"When we get back, forget about houses, buying several courtyard houses will be a piece of cake!"
Song Jingchuan grasped the key point and asked, "You want to go abroad?"
Wu Jianguo paused for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Who doesn't want to go abroad? Don't you want to go abroad? No, you came back from abroad. What were you thinking back then?"
Why come back when conditions are so good abroad? If I were you, I wouldn't come back!
"Abroad, we all live in big houses, the kind with several floors, where there are rooms for as many people as there are, and there's never a shortage of living space..."
Song Jingchuan said, "Our domestic medical conditions are really too backward. We are far behind developed countries in terms of Western medicine."
I came back hoping to bring back advanced medical technology from abroad to treat our people.
No matter how good the conditions are abroad, it's not our home. If the conditions at home are not good, we must find ways to improve them and build our motherland.
"If you build your own country up and make it stronger than any other country, wouldn't you have everything you want?"
Wu Jianguo said with a sneer, "I'm not as high-minded as you. You should handle the matters of building the country."
Your family is so well-off, you could live in a small villa even if you came back. It would just mean earning a little less money each month.
My family is different. Not only do we lack money, but we also lack a place to live. I'm not as noble as you, helping everyone in the world. I'm lucky if I can manage to take care of my own family.
My parents are getting old and don't have time to wait for me to build up our country. I just hope to give them a few good days, at least enough to live in a decent house.
Song Jingchuan said, "Your workplace doesn't provide housing either?"
Wu Jianguo said, "There are too many monks and not enough porridge. I finally managed to get a few houses. There are so many people ahead of me waiting for houses to get married, why can't I get a turn?"
Song Jingchuan said, "How do you know Cheng Xiaokui was arrested? I didn't tell the other brothers that she was arrested."
Wu Jianguo's expression stiffened slightly, but fortunately, the darkness and the dim streetlights made it impossible for anyone to see the change in his expression.
He said, "I heard it from her neighbor. One of my colleagues lives near her house, so I knew she was arrested."
Song Jingchuan asked, "Do the neighbors also know where Cheng Xiaokui is being held?"
His gaze remained fixed on Wu Jianguo. From the moment they met until now, he hadn't revealed a single word about Cheng Xiaokui's arrest.
Wu Jianguo immediately told him that he couldn't get into the place where Cheng Xiaokui was being held.
In other words, Wu Jianguo knew where Cheng Xiaokui was being held.
Wu Jianguo's eyes darted around, and he said, "If someone's been arrested, where else would they be detained? It's definitely the police station. Is there even a question? Isn't that right?"
Song Jingchuan said, "More or less. It's getting late, you should go home now. Otherwise your parents will worry about you."
Wu Jianguo said, "Okay, then I'll go in first. My house is too small, so I won't invite you in for tea."
After he finished speaking, he waved to Song Jingchuan, then pushed his bicycle and walked into the building without looking back.
Song Jingchuan stood still, and could clearly hear Wu Jianguo opening and closing the door.
He got back into his car and pressed his fingers to his furrowed brow.
Although he and Wu Jianguo were rambling on about unrelated things, each of his seemingly random questions had its own purpose.
Wu Jianguo's answer clearly revealed his longing for life abroad, his desire for money, and his lack of hope for his current job.
So what can Wu Jianguo rely on to solve his family's predicament?
Song Jingchuan rubbed his temples, thinking about the portrait and his conversation with Wu Jianguo.
The suspicion surrounding Wu Jianguo is growing stronger...
Is it really Wu Jianguo?
He made this trip on purpose, but he had his own selfish motives. He hoped to find out what Wu Jianguo was saying and clear Wu Jianguo of suspicion.
But now Wu Jianguo is even more suspected...
He started the car and drove out of the military compound.
Wu Jianguo stood in the small bungalow that had been added to his backyard. From the back window, he could see Song Jingchuan's car headlights driving out of the residential compound.
Wu Jianguo's mother, lying on the small bed, asked, "What are you looking at? What time is it? Go wash up and go to bed! Set up that wire bed."
Wu Jianguo replied perfunctorily, "I know. Um... I'm leaving."
Wu Jianguo's mother asked in surprise, "What time is it? Where are you going?"
Wu Jianguo said, "I remembered that I left something in the office. I'll go back and get it. It's too late, so I won't come back. I'll sleep in the duty room at the unit."
He finished speaking and hurriedly left the room.
Wu Jianguo's parents looked at each other in surprise, completely baffled as to what was wrong with their son.
Wu Jianguo pushed his bicycle out of the building entrance, then hopped on and rode away quickly.
All he could think about was Song Jingchuan. How could Song Jingchuan suddenly appear at his house?
Isn't that strange? Did Song Jingchuan come to see him alone? Or was he looking for a friend?
Song Jingchuan didn't answer him at all...
Perhaps it was because he felt guilty, but he felt that there was something wrong with Song Jingchuan's visit this time, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Song Jingchuan drove to the military hospital.
Song Yalan was surprised to see her brother push open the door and walk into the ward.
She stood up and went to greet him, asking, "Brother, why are you so late?"
Song Jingchuan asked, "How is Lao Si doing?"
Song Yalan said, "The day was relatively stable. The body temperature was not too high, and for a period of time it returned to a low-grade fever state."
Song Jingchuan asked, "Is he conscious?"
Song Yalan said, "He was conscious when he woke up, but he had been unconscious for a long time. As you suggested, I didn't disturb him and let him rest well and recharge."
Song Jingchuan walked to Si Muyang's bedside, but before he could speak, Si Muyang had already opened his eyes.
Song Jingchuan chuckled and said, "You heard me coming."
Si Muyang nodded, his hoarse voice like a broken wooden stake. He asked, "What happened?"
This is probably what it means for brothers to have a telepathic connection.
The moment Song Jingchuan appeared, Si Muyang realized something was definitely wrong!
Song Jingchuan said, "There is indeed something! I may have uncovered a lead on a spy, but I want to investigate this lead myself first, however, I don't have the manpower..."
He abandoned martial arts for medicine and had no military power, but Si Muyang did!
Si Muyang asked, "Why did you investigate yourself?"
