Over the next five days, Guan Wenru accompanied provincial leaders to visit many factories.
He personally went to impart his experience and philosophy on running a factory to her.
During this time, Guan Wenru finally saw how severe the disaster was in the province, and how many team members were not getting enough to eat.
That day, Guan Wenru and Chen Xiaohong had just come out of yet another severely affected production brigade.
Under the scorching sun, the jeep bumped along the cracked dirt road, kicking up clouds of yellow dust.
The atmosphere on the bus was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Chen Xiaohong wiped her reddened eyes with her sleeve, her voice choked with sobs, "Factory director... this is too tragic... the fields are bare, and the pot is filled with some kind of mushy mush that's hard to tell what it is..."
You saw those kids just now, right? They were so thin, just skin and bones... It really broke my heart to see them like that...
It's not that people aren't working hard, it's just that God... really doesn't give people a way to survive!
Guan Wenru gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his knuckles white, his face more solemn than ever before. "Yes, these farmers are working hard, but they just had to encounter such a natural disaster. There's really nothing we can do."
But actually... there is a way!
Just now, she clearly felt a strange fluctuation coming from her personal space, and the food and supplies stored inside seemed to be flickering unstablely.
She had had this space for several years, but this was the first time she had ever felt something so strange.
And it only happened after she saw those disaster victims.
A powerful thought surged into her mind.
Perhaps... the anomalies in the space are not accidental, but rather her mission!
It's likely that God granted her a second chance at life, but there were conditions involved!
Perhaps... they want her to come back and help these people, saving as many as possible!
She was reborn, and God gave her this space... not for her to use to live a life of self-preservation!
Just now, in that village, she had just had the thought that she couldn't help, and she clearly felt an unbearable pain in her chest.
It seems that once she gets back, she really needs to find a way to get the food out of her space so that everyone can get through this difficult time, otherwise... her body might suffer a backlash.
......
More than two hours later, at the service desk of the provincial capital's guesthouse.
Guan Wenru and Chen Xiaohong walked in, looking travel-worn.
As soon as the waiter saw the two of them, he immediately stood up. "Comrade Guan, you're back! Perfect timing! The police came to see you this morning and said there's been progress on your case!"
The identities of those individuals have been confirmed. We need you to come to the station when you have time to understand the situation and give a final statement.
Guan Wenru paused, raising an eyebrow. "Okay, thank you for informing me, comrade. Xiaohong, you can go inside and rest. I'll manage on my own..."
"No, no!" Chen Xiaohong knew what she was going to say and quickly interrupted, "Factory Director, I'll go with you!"
Guan Wenru chuckled, "Alright, let's go then!"
Chen Xiaohong: "Okay!"
The two went straight to the police station.
...
The police station is not far from the guesthouse.
We arrived in no time.
Inside the police station, a police officer greeted them. "Comrade Guan Wenru, you've arrived. Regarding the attack at the guesthouse a few nights ago, we have interrogated the two suspects we arrested and have basically clarified the situation."
Guan Wenru: "Comrades, you've worked hard. Who exactly are they? What are their motives? Are they targeting me?"
"Yes!" The police officer replied solemnly. "Those three are local thugs from Zhang County. They are lazy, good-for-nothing, and prone to petty theft. They've even been imprisoned for several years."
According to their confessions, they were instructed by a man named Li Daming, whom they knew inside. Li Daming had hidden a sum of money outside and gave it to them, but his condition was... that they kill you!
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaohong gasped and covered her mouth, "My God! This...this is too terrifying!"
Guan Wenru's eyes turned cold. "So it was him!"
Li Daming is Che Xiaoni's ex-fiancé.
She saved Che Xiaoni when he tried to rape her.
Later, Li Daming and another man intercepted her on the way, intending to rape and rob her. She shot them directly, crippling their legs.
They were also sent to prison, and as far as she knew, it was life imprisonment.
Unexpectedly, Li Daming still wouldn't behave himself after being imprisoned.
Seeing her gloomy expression, the police officer quickly said, "We've also informed the prison. Don't worry, he will definitely pay the price. He'll be punished for multiple crimes, and this time... he'll most likely be executed."
As for the assailant who fell to his death, he brought it upon himself; you acted in self-defense and bear no responsibility whatsoever.
The main reason I invited you here today is to inform you of this situation and, incidentally, to have you sign the case closure report.
Guan Wenru came to her senses and said, "I understand. Thank you, officers. You've worked hard. I hope we can get a clear result in the end. I'll leave you my phone number. Please let me know if there's any news about Li Daming."
"This is our responsibility! We will keep you informed as there are any updates."
"Thank you!" Guan Wenru signed the document.
Then he left the police station with Chen Xiaohong.
As soon as she stepped out, Chen Xiaohong was still shaken. "Factory director, I didn't expect that Li Daming would still be so persistent even after so many years in prison!"
Guan Wenru remained calm, saying, "Just a clown."
......
Guan Wenru and Chen Xiaohong stayed at the guesthouse for one night. The next day, after getting up and having breakfast, they drove directly back to Sunan.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the jeep drove into the feed mill area.
As soon as Guan Wenru and Chen Xiaohong got out of the car, Lei Yongkang, looking worried, hurried up to them. "Factory Director! You're finally back!"
Seeing his expression, Guan Wenru frowned slightly. "Deputy Factory Director Lei, what happened? You don't look well."
