Seeing that Li Aidang had a stern face and was about to get angry, Huo Jingchen quickly interrupted.
"By the way, Chief Li, are there any relatives of yours among the group we arrested? What are you going to do with the man and woman who are imprisoned in the house?"
When Captain Li Tiezhu heard Huo Jingchen ask this, his face immediately turned dark.
He never imagined that the third brother's second daughter would be so vicious and collude with outsiders to sell his cousin. How could this be a human thing to do? To be honest, he had handled many cases over the years, but he had never encountered such a situation!
Seeing him like this, Huo Jingchen had nothing to understand.
He took two steps forward and then offered his suggestion, "Director Li, don't be upset. I understand how you feel, but as an outsider, your relative is truly not up to par!"
Hearing this, Li Aidang looked up and looked at Huo Jingchen with a puzzled expression, not quite understanding what he meant.
"Oh, Xiao Huo, what do you think I should do?"
Li Aidang is so old and has seen all kinds of scenes. Huo Jingchen doesn't believe that he doesn't understand what he means. He is asking him now just to hear his opinion!
Thinking this in his heart, he first chuckled twice, and then spoke calmly.
"Director Li, you definitely understand what I mean. Although the situation is much better now than it was a few years ago, I'm worried someone might investigate. If that happens, those two people might even implicate you!"
When Li Aidang heard this, his face darkened and his brows furrowed slightly. He had been away from the army for many years, and for the current situation, he could only infer the future direction based on some of the policies above!
In contrast to him, the young man in front of him, surnamed Huo, has been in the army all his life. Since he warned him like this, it must be that something has been passed down from above!
After figuring this out, Li Aidang's expression immediately changed, and he squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Huo Jingchen!
Huo Jingchen looked at her sincerely, as if he was talking about something that couldn't be more ordinary!
Since the other party was like this, Li Aidang didn't say anything else and just expressed his gratitude to Huo Jingchen!
"Thank you so much, Comrade Huo. If you hadn't told me this today, I wouldn't have thought of it. I'll take care of this matter after we finish our meal!"
Seeing that Li Aidang understood what he said, Huo Jingchen smiled and nodded.
Zhu Qiang, however, was watching the harmonious atmosphere between the two and was a little confused as to what was going on between the captain and Li Aidang!
But, never mind, no matter what they say, it has nothing to do with me anyway!
Li Aidang just said that a lot of delicious food was made today, and he had to take a good look at what was there. Thinking of this, he rubbed his hands excitedly!
Huo Jingchen looked at Zhu Qiang's expectant expression and shook his head secretly. This Zhu Qiang was still so naive all day long. There was nothing else in his eyes except food, right?
On this side, Li Mingxi rode a bicycle with his grandmother on his back, and finally arrived at the county town before dark.
As soon as they arrived in the county town, the two went straight to the Public Security Bureau.
When they arrived at the Public Security Bureau, according to regulations, it was naturally not so easy for the two to see Li Aidang. Li Mingxi came to the Public Security Bureau frequently, so Xiao Wang, who was on duty, recognized her at a glance.
When he heard her say that she was here to see the director, he was even more enthusiastic and wanted to take her to see Li Aidang personally!
Soon, Li Mingxi and his grandmother followed them to the cafeteria.
When Li Aidang heard from his subordinates that his niece brought the old lady to see him, he quickly went to the kitchen to find the chef and asked him to help cook two dishes!
Niu Cuihua rarely comes to the county town throughout the year. Now that she has finally come, Li Aidang, as her son, naturally wants her to have something good to eat!
Therefore, when Li Mingxi and the others approached, they saw five or six dishes on the table, and several of them had obviously been eaten!
Seeing Niu Cuihua approaching, Li Aidang quickly stood up and looked at his mother with a puzzled look.
"Mom, why are you here so late at night? What's going on? Can't you wait until tomorrow?"
As he said this, he took a few steps forward, walked up to Niu Cuihua, and reached out to help her.
Niu Cuihua was not yet old enough to need someone to support her when she walked. As soon as she saw Li Aidang's posture, she immediately shook off his arm.
"Don't touch me, I'm not old enough for you to hold me up!"
Li Aidang didn't feel embarrassed to be insulted by his mother in front of so many people. Instead, he pointed to the large table of food behind him and asked.
"Okay, we'll talk about it later. Mom, let's eat first. I just asked the chef in the cafeteria to help make two dishes!"
Niu Cuihua glanced at Huo Jingchen and Zhu Qiang beside her and spoke with a puzzled look on her face.
"What? Are these two your colleagues?"
Li Aidang nodded. "Yes, they are my colleagues. I was just about to treat them to a meal, and you and Xiaoxi arrived just in time. What a coincidence!"
Although Niu Cuihua was very angry, she was still rational. Her son specially invited his colleagues to dinner, so there must be something to discuss. Wouldn't it be a waste of time for her and Xiaoxi to sit there?
After figuring this out, she spoke directly.
"Forget it, I won't eat with you. So, you can just make us some steamed bread, and you don't have to prepare any dishes!"
After making the request, Niu Cuihua led Li Mingxi to the side!
Li Aidang had nothing to discuss with Huo Jingchen. He just saw that Huo Jingchen and the others had been working so hard these days, so he wanted to treat them to a meal!
Now that my mother is here, he naturally won't push her aside for the sake of face. That would be a big deal. Besides, he can't do such an unfilial thing!
Therefore, when he saw Niu Cuihua pulling Li Mingxi to the side, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Niu Cuihua's arm.
"Mom, what you said is so awkward. You finally came to the county town. How could I be so unfilial as to let you eat steamed buns while watching my son eat and drink to his heart's content?"
Niu Cuihua glared at him and said, "Are you out of your mind? You're inviting your colleagues to dinner, why should we get involved? Besides, what are you saying? Do we think we can listen to it?"
Li Aidang didn't take it seriously. "Why shouldn't I listen to it? Besides, I'm just inviting you to dinner and asking you to talk. If you don't know, you might think I'm doing something illegal!"
Hearing him say this, Niu Cuihua angrily slapped him.
"Can you speak, kid?"
"Then mother, do you want to go over there to eat? Look at the many dishes on the table. I bought them all. Wouldn't it be a shame if you don't help eat?"
Having said that, he glanced at Li Mingxi standing beside him.
"Besides, Xiaoxi stays in the countryside all day and doesn't get to eat any good food year-round. The canteen chef is a trained chef, and his cooking is no worse than that of state-owned restaurants out there. If you don't want to eat, can't you let Xiaoxi have a taste?"
