Seeing the old man's excited face, Xiao Che felt a pang of guilt.
He had no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure, impersonating someone else to infiltrate Baipo Village.
To find out what happened back then, he simply couldn't investigate without actually entering Baipo Village.
Dong Guangming is such a clever man; he had already covered everything up. If anyone comes to investigate, his people will inform him immediately!
He thought that he had already seen and understood the situation of Dong Qiang's family, so he would tell Dong Fugui's family about their family affairs, which would be to fulfill their feelings of missing their relatives.
When they leave, I will make proper arrangements to ensure they are not involved in any of those things. I will also leave some money privately for the two elderly people to live on.
After figuring it out, he calmed down.
I spent a lot of time with the two elderly people, talked to them, and learned a lot about the village.
As they chatted, Dong Fugui slapped his forehead. "Look at my brain! Quan'er, Tiedan, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Wait a minute, I'll go make you two bowls of noodles!"
With that, he rushed off to the kitchen.
Xiao Che would never let an old man prepare food for him. He sat and waited, then followed the old man to the kitchen.
During this time, he looked around the courtyard and found that apart from Dong Fugui, no one else was at home, which made him a little suspicious.
The old man could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression.
“Your Uncle Fugui’s children have all gone to the city. Your aunt passed away two years ago, and he’s the only old man left at home. He’s stubborn. His children want to take him to enjoy a comfortable life, but he won’t go, saying he can’t get used to living in the city!”
Xiao Che understood; the old man had lived here his whole life, and he would indeed find it difficult to get used to living in a different place.
"The elderly can't get used to city life, so it's better for them to stay in their familiar surroundings where they can chat with others!"
The old man chuckled, "That's right! I can't get used to living in the city either, it's too noisy! Our countryside is much better! Hahahaha."
After Xiao Che finished eating his noodles, Dong Fugui urged him to go and rest. He was put in the grandson's room, which was very clean and looked like it was cleaned regularly. He could move in as soon as the grandson returned.
He couldn't very well inquire about Dong Guangming's affairs right away, as that would arouse suspicion. He could only settle down first and then proceed slowly.
...
On the other hand, Dong Guangming learned that he had already set off three days later.
This was also an arrangement Xiao Che made before leaving. Knowing that he couldn't hide it any longer, he planned to delay as long as possible.
In addition to this, he also had a backup plan.
Therefore, when Dong Guangming hurriedly submitted his report to return to his hometown to visit relatives and placed it on the top leader's desk, the top leader thought of his father's words of advice.
He turned his head to the side, as if he hadn't seen it, and his subordinate accidentally swept it under the table.
On the same day, he went to a meeting in the neighboring city.
Two more days passed, and Dong Guangming, who had been waiting for approval, grew impatient.
He went to the top leader's office to look for him, but found no one there.
"Oh, Mayor Pei, he went to a meeting in the next city..."
"Hmm? When will he be back?"
"It will probably take about a week..."
Dong Guangming was extremely helpless. He thought that with his status, a family visit leave would be easily approved.
