Therefore, it doesn't matter much whether Dong Guangming is dead or alive now; he no longer cares, and neither do the people above him.
Kang Chengxin immediately understood: "The truth has already been uncovered?"
"Well, that's about it. But it's still worth it to be alive; at least there's still hope of getting information about spies from other countries out of him."
In the past year or two, thanks to this breakthrough, many spies from other countries have been eliminated, but it cannot be ruled out that there are still some.
Kang Chengxin plucked a blade of grass, put it in his mouth, and smacked his lips a few times. "Troublesome! Okay, I'll try my best."
Xiao Che smiled and said, "Alright, there are still a few rats in the village. I'll go take a look around."
Kang Chengxin waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
The following day, no matter how much Xiao Che tried to distract them, those people didn't come out.
Xiao Che sighed helplessly; these people were really on high alert!
They didn't know where they were hiding. Kang Chengxin was afraid that if he pushed them too far, they would take the villagers hostage. So he could only be patient and wait until he found out their exact hiding place before taking action.
Seeing that he couldn't catch any fish, he had no choice but to return to the village chief's house.
However, he didn't want to just wait passively...
After finishing his meal, he went to the village chief's house.
He handed the old man a pack of cigarettes and asked with some curiosity, "Uncle Village Chief, I went out for a walk today and noticed that some people in the village don't dress like people from our village. Who are those people?"
The village chief's eyes widened when he saw the smoke.
"This is a good thing!" He reached out and touched it again and again, his eyes full of longing, but he still suppressed his desire and did not take it.
"Take it back, it's too valuable!" He waved his hand repeatedly, and to avoid regretting it, he turned his face to the other side.
Xiao Che suppressed a laugh, feeling that this old man was often like a child, much like the elders in his family.
He pushed the cigarette to his side; it was something Ya Jing had put in his suitcase when they came out, in case he needed to use the restroom.
"Uncle Village Chief, please take this. It's a gift from your junior to you."
Seeing that he was truly sincere in giving it to him, the village chief looked at the cigarettes, but in the end, he took them and touched them carefully, his face crinkling with smiles.
"Those people you're talking about? They were sent by the town. They said there's some kind of mine in the back mountain, and they came to survey it."
Once it's confirmed, they'll send people to dig it up!
I don't understand what any of that means, but it's all stuff to do with the higher-ups. I've seen the approval reports, and there's no problem."
Now everything belongs to the state. As the village chief, he will cooperate as long as it is something the state needs.
Xiao Che felt a chill run down his spine. It seemed that Dong Guangming had quite a long reach in this area, having managed to obtain the government's approval report.
It seems that once we catch him, we'll have to thoroughly investigate this place, his stronghold and hometown!
"Oh, I see. So, do they live in the village?"
He subtly probed the old village chief's words as if they were casual conversation.
The village chief shut up. If their village really had that mine, it must be something the country needed. It was still being surveyed, so they couldn't let too many people know about it or go looking for it.
He could tell the other party the identities of those people in the village, since it wasn't a secret in the village, but he couldn't reveal their locations.
He glared at Xiao Che and said, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't!"
Xiao Che shook his head and chuckled. They were treating him like a bad guy and were on guard against him!
"Okay, okay, I understand."
If he said those people were enemy agents, the old village chief probably wouldn't believe him, after all, the approval report was genuine!
It seems he'll have to come up with another idea.
However, he did gain something from the conversation; at least he learned that these people did not live in the village.
If you live in a village, then it's not a secret location!
