The squad leader clearly couldn't understand why things had turned out this way.
They arrived right after receiving the report, and it hasn't been that long, yet those two...
"Search!" The squad leader, his face dark, waved his hand and ordered his men to search.
This is a small two-story building. The first floor is used to entertain guests, and the second floor is where they live.
The second floor was ransacked, and nothing of value was left except for some bedding and old clothes that no longer needed to be worn.
Honestly, in this day and age, aren't clothes supposed to be new for three years, old for three years, and patched up for another three years? If someone has new clothes, they might even be accused of undermining socialism.
Many people deliberately make their new clothes look old in order to avoid being targeted.
The couple simply didn't have time; otherwise, they would have taken those old clothes with them.
Nothing was found on the second floor, and obviously nothing was found on the first floor or in the backyard either.
"Captain, it seems there really is nothing there. Could we have been tricked by that kid?"
The squad leader looked around with a dark expression, sensing that something was wrong.
Just then, Gu's mother and Xia Anyan came over hand in hand.
The two had just reached the door when they were forced back by a foul odor.
They covered their noses, looking disgusted: "Mom, is this really the place? We haven't been scammed, have we?"
"This is definitely the place, there's no mistake!"
Their conversation quickly attracted the attention of those inside.
The squad leader walked to the door and looked them up and down: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
As he asked the question, several people rushed over, seemingly intending to surround them.
If I come out and can't bring anything back, my brothers will laugh at me.
These two women who suddenly appeared, aren't they just offering themselves up to be scammed?
The lackeys were itching for a fight, each harboring their own schemes.
Xia Anyan frowned, clearly displeased with their gazes.
She took out her identification: "My mother-in-law and I came to Beijing to look for relatives, and we just happened to be here to take care of some things."
“I came here because this place originally belonged to an old friend of my grandfather’s. My grandfather’s old friend had no descendants and passed away a few years ago. Before he died, he wrote to us saying that he wanted to give this place to me and asked me to find someone to get the deed.”
"Some things happened these past few days that delayed this. I just finished up and brought my mother-in-law over. Where is everyone else? Aren't they here?"
She tiptoed and peered inside.
Seeing the mess on the ground, her face turned even uglier.
"Mom, I think we've been scammed. This place doesn't look like anyone has ever lived here. It's turned into a garbage dump!"
"Such a nice house, and it's been ruined like this. If Grandpa Lin knew that his hard work had been destroyed like this, how heartbroken he would be!"
The members of the Revolutionary Committee looked at Xia Anyan and felt that this female comrade was a bit...
The squad leader, in particular, stared at Xia Anyan with a scrutinizing gaze.
To be honest, he doesn't really trust these two people anymore.
But when he saw their identification and the name 'Xia Anyan', he couldn't say anything else.
Their deputy director is still being held in the police station.
It's said that he got involved in the Qian family's affairs and was targeted by someone who probably wants to remove him from office.
He works for Chairman Zhou, and if nothing unexpected happens, Chairman Zhou is very likely to be promoted to vice chairman, and then the chairman's position is very likely to be his.
If... he were to do Xia Anyan a favor, wouldn't that be good?
"Oh, it's Comrade Xia. I've heard of you before. I didn't expect to run into you here. What a coincidence."
"However, there was a couple who were undermining socialism and running their own private businesses here. We came here after receiving a tip-off, but we didn't expect that they had gotten wind of it beforehand and ran away."
"Comrade Xia, if you can provide evidence to prove that this place is indeed yours, you can come to me, and I can help you transfer the property title."
"Oh, by the way, my name is Zang Weimin."
Zang Weimin? Zhang Weimin?
Xia Anyan didn't know if he had a lisp, so she just nodded and didn't mean to address him.
Seeing that Xia Anyan's expression was indifferent, as if she was still angry about the matter, Zang Weimin didn't linger. He waved and called to his brothers to leave.
After walking a short distance, one of Zang Weimin's henchmen couldn't help but complain, "Captain, what's up with that woman? You seemed to be giving her a lot of face. Is that woman really that powerful?"
Zang Weimin snorted coldly.
Thinking of Kim In-bong, his expression turned serious: "Kim In-bong was sent in by her. Don't you think she's ruthless?"
"Even if she won't help me, I can't afford to antagonize her. If she wants to get back at me, it could cause a lot of trouble at this crucial moment."
He would rather be careful than offend a petty person. He has always been careful in his work, which is why he was able to climb to this position in just two years.
He was determined to make sure he could get into that position smoothly.
After the person left, Xia Anyan and Gu's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That was so exciting! I almost, almost got caught.
The two of them closed the door again, this time locking it, before getting into the car to meet up with them.
The couple's eyes were brimming with tears, their eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you, thank you so much."
"Comrades, if it weren't for your help, we might have really been in trouble this time."
When they thought of Zhang Junan telling them that this wasn't a long-term solution, they felt a warm glow in their hearts.
I was planning to close the shop in the afternoon to meet up with my son and daughter-in-law, but before I could even finish packing up, the Revolutionary Committee people arrived.
They were even prepared to be arrested, but who would have thought... Zhang Junan would do them a huge favor again.
They must remember this great kindness.
“You’ve already paid me, haven’t you?” Zhang Junan pointed to the three lunchboxes in the corner.
After saying that, he picked up the lunchbox containing the small wooden box and the vegetable dish, and handed it back to them: "We'll keep those two boxes of vegetables, but as for this, you should take it back. It's too valuable, we can't accept it."
But the two men waved their hands, disagreeing.
"Since we've given it to you, then please keep it safe. Besides, we have more; this is just a small token of our appreciation, and we hope it will give you the opportunity to pass it down in the future."
"If you don't accept it, then we have nothing else to thank you for, except to serve you like slaves. But in this day and age, we can't have servants, so we can only follow you and do what we can."
