Seeing that it was still early, Wang Qiang entered the space and took a comfortable bath in the Ruyi Pool.
It was so pleasant to take a bath while enjoying delicious fruit from the room. The only downside was not having a phone. I wish I had one now.
Wang Qiang ate two wild fruits, then lay down in the Ruyi Pool, closed his eyes to rest, and slowly felt his body changing. The fatigue disappeared, and he became stronger and more energetic.
He felt his heart beating strongly, and his blood flowing more smoothly through his body.
His muscles also became firmer and stronger, making him feel as if he could easily lift a mountain.
While soaking in the Ruyi Pool, Wang Qiang also discovered a little secret.
When he put his hand in the water and took it out, he felt his palm getting hot. With a casual swing, he saw a tree snapped in two with a crack.
"Palm Thunder?"
Wang Qiang then tried it a few more times, and sure enough, it was a palm-sized thunderbolt. It could split a tree as thick as a wrist in one go, but it couldn't split a tree any thicker than that.
However, this palm thunder has a drawback: one's own hand can only be used after being soaked in the Ruyi Pool, and one can only strike three times at a time.
Although it's a youth version of the Palm Lightning, it's quite powerful. Wang Qiang thought that if he could practice more in the future, he might be able to increase its power.
He soaked in the Ruyi Pool for more than two hours. He felt his body radiating new vitality and energy. His mind became clearer and sharper, as if he could see through the essence of everything.
After soaking in the Ruyi Pool, Wang Qiang felt that his body had been completely restored to its former strength. It was as if he could go a whole day without sleeping or eating without feeling tired at all.
Wang Qiang felt as if he had become younger and more energetic. He could freely squander his youth and energy.
When he felt it was about time, Wang Qiang saw the sheep in the space leisurely grazing on the grass. They were all plump and strong. The temperature here was just right, neither too hot nor too cold.
These sheep can't get any fresh grass outside in winter, but here they can graze freely.
Watching them stroll leisurely, occasionally lowering their heads to nibble on a bit of grass, Wang Qiang felt that all the grass here was delicious, and he had a slight urge to try it.
Wang Qiang checked the time and, seeing it was almost time, stopped worrying about the sheep. He figured the space was large enough to raise them without issue, so he left the Ruyi Pool and closed the spatial barrier.
Running to the kitchen, I saw that Qin Huairu and the others had already cleaned it up, and He Yuzhu had also bought the ingredients and was preparing them in the kitchen.
He reached the doorway and saw two men standing around the truck. He suddenly shouted, "What are you doing here?"
One of the taller men ran past, looking frightened. "Hey bro, we just wanted to look at the car because it's interesting."
"Stop lying to me. Are you trying to steal something? Confess honestly, or I won't be polite."
Before Wang Qiang could finish speaking, Li Yong walked over from the side. "Brother Wang, what's wrong?"
"Those two bastards were circling the truck, I don't know what they were up to. Luckily I came out to take a look, otherwise the sheep on the truck might have been lost."
At this moment, Director Wang also got out of a car. He looked a little haggard, but he was still very well-dressed and dressed in a crisp suit. He had an air of authority.
"Brother Wang, thank you for your hard work."
Two of Director Wang's henchmen chased away the two men circling the truck. Director Wang then came over and took Wang Qiang's hand. "Brother, you've truly broadened my horizons. You're amazing, truly amazing."
Wang Qiang smiled and said, "No, no, Director Wang, it's all thanks to your arrangements. If it weren't for your arrangements, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly this time."
"Director Wang, please don't be shy, come inside and let's drink. Let's drink until we drop tonight."
Director Wang laughed. "Brother Wang, there's no need for such formalities. We're all family. No need for anyone to stand on ceremony."
Wang Qiang offered him a cigarette, which he readily accepted. "Hehe, this cigarette is good."
"If you like it, I'll get you one later. Come on, Director Wang, let's go inside and have a meal and chat."
Seeing Wang Qiang chatting happily with the bureau chief, Li Yong smiled and said, "Bureau Chief Wang, let's go discuss this further; it's not appropriate to do it on the street."
Director Wang glanced at his Zhongshan suit. "Oh well, what's wrong with that? It's like I'm getting along well with the group leader."
Despite saying this, he still walked towards the courtyard. Wang Qiang and Li Yong accompanied him from behind.
After everyone was seated, a pot of tea was served. Director Wang began, "I'm here today to celebrate and congratulate Comrade Wang on completing his work. Also, it's to express my welcome. I heard from Li Yong that you're leaving tomorrow, so I'm taking this opportunity to offer my congratulations as a farewell gift to Comrade Wang."
"As for anything else? Let's not talk about work today, let's just talk about life."
Wang Qiang heard this. He felt that the tone was off; why were they suddenly talking like this?
"Alas, you have no idea. A strange thing has happened in our county, and now everyone is living in fear."
"Speaking of this person, Comrade Wang may not know him, but you should know Li Yong. He's Section Chief Ma from the Supply and Marketing Department."
Upon hearing the name Section Chief Ma, Wang Qiang was taken aback. Did he really dare to call the police?
However, Wang Qiang remained calm and poured Director Wang another glass of water.
Li Yong received the message. "Section Chief Ma certainly knows this person is no ordinary individual."
Director Wang sighed and continued, "It's not simple, it's really not simple. I heard that their house was burgled last night, and tens of thousands of yuan in cash were stolen."
"It's strange, when his workplace asked him, he said it didn't happen and refused to admit it no matter what. But you can't blame him, if he admitted the source of so much money and couldn't explain it, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Li Yong nodded and said, "Of course. With such a big tree, how much does a mere head of the supply and marketing department earn in a month? It must all be from embezzlement and bribery."
Director Wang, displeased upon hearing this, said first, "I'm not much better than that Section Chief Ma. Li Yong, are you trying to talk my way out of this?"
Given the situation, Wang Qiang quickly stepped in to cover for him; he didn't want to investigate who had leaked the information. At least Section Chief Ma certainly wouldn't reveal it himself.
"Director Wang, although I don't know this Section Chief Ma you mentioned, just thinking about it, how can a mere section chief compare to you, the director? They're simply incomparable."
"Furthermore, I think this matter might be someone stirring up trouble and deliberately smearing us."
Upon hearing this, Director Wang repeatedly said, "Yes, yes, it must be someone spreading rumors and slander. Now that we're cadres, we have to be involved. We need to coordinate our responsibilities. Although there might be some exceptions, we can't generalize and condemn everyone."
