Captain Ma had been following Director Qi for many years, and upon hearing his tone, he immediately realized something was wrong.
But he only felt a momentary panic before he smiled indifferently.
The Jiang family is a well-known capitalist family. For people of their social class, not sending them to a farm for reform is already a great favor.
Now, all they've done is move a few pieces of old furniture, and they're making a mountain out of a molehill by reporting them to their workplace.
That's really great!
It seems those two old geezers don't want to have a single good day!
Just as Captain Ma was secretly plotting how to deal with the other party, Director Qi glanced at him indifferently.
"Old Ma, you've really messed up this time, do you know that?"
Seeing that he was confused, Director Qi explained what had happened on the phone.
"The Jiang family member has already reported the case to the police, and the police and military officials have already gone there."
If it were just the police calling, Director Qi could find an excuse to brush it off.
But with the top leader of the Military Commission involved, if this matter isn't resolved, things might not go well.
Upon hearing that members of the Military Commission had also gone to the Jiang family, Captain Ma realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Director, what does this have to do with the Military Commission? Why are they getting involved?"
Director Qi closed his eyes and didn't say a word. If he knew, would he still be so troubled?
As if he had thought of something, he gave a deep, solemn instruction.
"Be careful about your attitude when you get there. People from the Military Commission are extremely protective of their own."
"Understood, Director."
Although he was somewhat reluctant, Captain Ma nodded.
At this moment, Director Qi had no idea that his subordinate had not only dug a huge mess for him, but had also dug a huge pit for him!
No, there were more than one; he dug up more than a dozen.
When the group arrived at the Jiang family's house, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
In winter, it gets dark early, even though the lights are still on in the Jiang family's house.
But outside it was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
Captain Ma had been here several times before and was quite familiar with the situation in the courtyard, so he led the way.
"Director, be careful..."
He hadn't even uttered the word "dot".
With a "thump," Director Qi missed a step.
The next second, the world spun around him, and when he opened his eyes again, he was lying at the bottom of the pit.
Captain Ma's heart nearly skipped a beat. "Director! Director, are you alright?"
Director Qi clutched his aching back, his face contorted in pain. "Who dug this hole?"
"..." Captain Ma fell silent instantly.
When Shi Guang was determined to excavate the Jiang family's house, he dug every pit in the yard to be at least two meters deep.
Little did he know that Director Qi, who was following behind him, could still fall down.
But at this point, he didn't dare to tell the truth.
He could only change the subject by saying, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and pull the director up here."
Jiang Si kept a close eye on the commotion outside. Before the people outside could struggle to pull the person up, she opened the living room door.
He came up and looked Director Qi up and down, then asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"
Director Qi was covered in mud, looking like a mud monkey.
This was the first time he had ever been so disheveled.
However, before Director Qi could even ask what was going on with these pits...
Jiang Si had already looked at Captain Ma and passed the hot potato away.
"Captain Ma, didn't you dig this pit yourselves? How could you still fall in!"
Before going to Qiongzhou Island, this person had searched the house several times.
Jiang Si is a vengeful person. Just half an hour ago, she made Uncle Zhong smash all the light bulbs in the yard.
It's a pity that these people weren't killed in the fall.
At this moment, Third Uncle also came out. "What else could it be? He's probably dug so many pits that he's even forgotten where they are."
After hearing this, what could Director Qi say?
Even if you're unhappy, you can only keep it to yourself.
After the group entered the house, Director Hu introduced them to Jiang Si.
"This is Director Qi of the Red Committee. If you have any grievances, just say them. Don't be afraid."
Director Qi choked, "That old fox."
The way they were protecting him couldn't be clearer.
Jiang Si was naturally not afraid; she had met countless leaders and senior officials in Beijing over the past few months.
She really didn't take a mere Red Committee director seriously.
He frowned and glanced at everyone, finally fixing his gaze on Captain Ma.
"Captain Ma, I heard that you have searched the Jiang family more than ten times in the past few months."
"I want to know what crime our Jiang family has committed that would warrant such a large-scale mobilization from you?"
Captain Ma, having worked for so many years and seen all sorts of storms, immediately spoke with righteous indignation.
“We received reports from the public that the Jiang family is suspected of concealing a huge amount of unexplained assets and a large amount of gold. These are all illegally obtained assets and should be confiscated by the state!”
"In addition, we also found that the Jiang family had already begun illegally transferring assets and destroying accounting books several years ago, including exchanging large amounts of foreign exchange, etc."
"Besides these, your family has also collected a lot of calligraphy, paintings, antiques and jade over the years."
"Do you know that your family's actions can be classified as those of reactionary capitalists!"
"And yet you feel no shame, instead you're being aggressive here!"
"I advise you to confess honestly and stop making futile resistance!"
