Seeing Xia Shige coming over, Officer Zheng Xin stood up and greeted her with a smile, "Comrade Xia, what can I do for you?"
Police Officer Zheng Xin had a good impression of Xia Shige. After all, the special medicine Xia Shige donated solved the urgent needs of the emergency office.
Xia Shige told Officer Zheng Xin about what happened to him at the Hanhai Hotel.
After Xia Shige described what happened, he continued, "Officer Zheng, the front desk clerk told my uncle that they can provide special services to different types of customers. Also, there are frequent robberies in the alley not far behind the hotel. I think there is something strange about this hotel."
Officer Zheng Xin frowned and thought, "Based on the difference in pricing alone, we cannot determine whether there is really any problem with this hotel. As for this special service... Don't worry, I will report it to the higher authorities and the relevant departments will send someone to investigate."
Xia Shige could only nod when she heard this. She knew that she had no definite evidence and could not prove anything with just these clues.
But she felt that she should at least let the police pay attention to this hotel in advance so that they could respond in time if any problems occurred in the future.
And there is Zhao Huifeng... Xia Shige remembered that in his previous life, Zhao's company had been colluding with foreign forces since the beginning of the natural disaster, and took advantage of the state's support and subsidies for seawater desalination companies to embezzle and transfer state-owned assets, and had been investigated several times for this.
Xia Shige knew about this because Lu Sixue had once told Lu Bo about it as a way to show off. Lu Sixue praised Zhao Huifeng for being smart and quick, and for destroying the evidence just before the state investigation, leaving the state empty-handed.
Although Xia Shige didn't understand the ins and outs of this, she decided to write a lot of letters of complaint to various departments as soon as she returned, hoping to get the country to start investigating these matters in advance.

After the supermarket closed at night, Xia Shige, Xia Huiyin and Xia Guocheng walked all the way home, followed by the patrol team, feeling very safe.
As they were chatting, they realized that during the time since they moved out of Xindu Community, five elderly people living alone had died of heat stroke in high-rise buildings 3, 8, and 9. When they were discovered, they had already been dead for two days.
The old man's family members were all out of town and couldn't make it in time, so they asked the property management to handle the funeral arrangements.
There were also two pregnant women in Buildings 7 and 4. Because the public medical institutions were paralyzed and they could not afford to go to private hospitals, they could only watch online to learn how to give birth at home.
One pregnant woman suffered a difficult delivery, resulting in two deaths; the other gave birth safely, but because she could not afford the high electricity bill, she turned off the air conditioner at night, and the baby died after birth because he could not withstand the high temperature.
Xia Shige sighed. Although she knew that many people had died of the heat in her previous life and she was mentally prepared, she still felt sad when she heard that tragedies happened one after another in the community where she lived. Now she could only pray that time would pass faster.
When the three of them returned home, Grandma, Grandma Liu and Auntie had already prepared the meal.
Xia Huiyin and Xia Guocheng were shocked when they saw the table full of dishes. Xia Huiyin asked, "Mom, where did all these dishes come from? Didn't we empty the refrigerator before?"
Grandma was serving a dish of three fresh vegetables to the table. She smiled and replied, "Oh, I thought we wouldn't have any vegetables to eat these days. We were planning to soak some dehydrated vegetables in the storage room, but we didn't expect Xiao Tang from next door to send so many vegetables at once. We put the storable food in the refrigerator and filled it up. We also froze some blanched beans and other things, and pickled a few jars of kimchi."
My aunt also smiled and said, "These vegetables are enough for us to eat. The vegetables grown in our yard are ripe. In fact, there are so many dehydrated vegetables in the storage room! We don't lack vegetables to eat at home."
Grandma Liu also smiled and said, "There are still a lot of water chestnuts. In fact, there are too many. We boiled the water chestnuts that are not easy to store and made them into canned water chestnuts, which can be kept for a longer time. I thought the water chestnut tree in the backyard was hopeless, but today I turned on the air conditioner to cool it down and watered it, and it has recovered. Now there is no shortage of water chestnuts."
This meal consisted of ten dishes, including vegetables and meat, as well as a fat lamb that Xia Shige had just slaughtered today. The Xia family members ate until their stomachs were full.
Xia Shige cleaned the house and put products on the shelves for shipment today. She was very tired, but at least she returned to her home and had a good sleep.

The products that Xia Shige put on the Taoyuan store a few days ago were almost sold out, and users also gave comments one after another.
"㳎户xxx: Taoyuan is finally back on the shelves. Although the price is a lot higher, the quality is impeccable. This grape is so fragrant!"
