The two best friends chatted about their own things, while the men in the room discussed the situation in the capital. Their division of labor was very clear.
The Kong family returned from Heilongjiang Province ahead of schedule. The transfer order had just been issued when they immediately packed their things and returned, without even having time to say goodbye to some of their friends in Heilongjiang Province.
There's nothing else going on, it's just that Kong Xi from the Kong family got promoted this time, to the public security system in the capital. Isn't that a coincidence?
With such excellent results regarding Liu Hai, of course we should keep it for our own people.
Once the Kong family returns, the two families can cooperate well. This time, they are here to reunite as old friends and to discuss all the details of the matter.
Information from Beijing needs to be shared promptly to avoid obstacles to cooperation later.
The situation in Beijing is very tense right now. The people at the top are subtly divided into two factions, and they have been making more and more moves recently. At this critical juncture, we must be prepared for anything we do, otherwise we may be caught in the crossfire at any time.
With something to talk about, it quickly became lunchtime.
Today, the Kong family is coming to visit, so the meal will definitely be more elaborate. Lin Xiaoxiao plans to go to the kitchen to prepare some good meat and vegetables. When Bai Hehua sees this, she wants to come and help, but Lin Xiaoxiao chases her away.
I can help out normally, but today I finally get to meet my best friend, so I should let her have a proper chat.
There are three more people in the family, not thirty more. Lin Xiaoxiao can handle it perfectly well. While Lin Xiaoxiao is preparing ingredients and cooking, Han Qiushi is worried that Lin Xiaoxiao will be too tired, so he goes out to buy roast duck and two other dishes.
There are many men in the family, so even though Han Qiushi went out to buy groceries, Lin Xiaoxiao still prepared four dishes: spicy diced chicken, shredded potatoes, braised pork ribs, and a mushroom and minced meat soup, all in large portions.
Including the roast duck and braised fish that Han Qiushi bought, a total of six dishes and a soup were prepared, along with a large bowl of rice on the side. Even Du Juan was stunned by the sumptuous meal.
"Don't tell me you eat like this every day. What kind of heavenly life is this?"
"And Xiaoxiao, your cooking skills are amazing! Just smelling the food makes my mouth water."
After chatting and laughing for a while, the group sat down to eat. The table was full of delicious dishes. With so many people sitting together, including three young men, no one was wasting food. Perhaps because the atmosphere was so pleasant, Lin Xiaoxiao ate an extra bowl of rice than usual.
After they had all eaten, the three women got ready and went out shopping. They went straight to the Overseas Chinese Store and bought quite a few things there.
Because Qinglu's clothes were almost all women's styles, Lin Xiaoxiao bought a complete outfit for each of the men in her family, even matching shoes to their outfits.
When they went there, the three of them carried at most a small bag, but when they came out, each of them was carrying a lot of things. "Aunt Du, give me an address tomorrow, and I'll pick out a couple of outfits and deliver them to you when they deliver them."
The clothes made of green are all the most popular styles in Beijing right now, Dujuan will definitely like them.
Du Juan thanked them a couple of times without being polite at all; given the relationship between their two families, being too polite would only make them seem distant.
Because they were so happy, Dujuan and Baihehua had so much to talk about. After discussing it, they decided to have dinner at the Han family's place again tonight.
While shopping, the three of them bought a lot of meat and vegetables, planning to make dumplings when they got back. They started chopping the filling and preparing ingredients for the big meal.
The men acted quickly. After discussing it in the morning and having lunch, they began preparing for the operation. Once everything was ready, Han Qiulin and Kong Xi led their men to the Liu family's house with great efficiency.
Liu Hai had been busy for two days, but there was still no news about the eighteen boxes of goods. He was extremely anxious staying outside, so he decided to stay at home. Just as he was about to ask his family to prepare some good food to go with his drinks, there was a knock on the door.
As soon as the door opened, Kong Xi, with a serious expression, appeared. "Comrade Liu Hai, we have received a report that you are involved in many criminal matters. After approval from the leadership, you will now come back with us to cooperate with the investigation."
"What?! How could I have committed a crime? You must have the wrong person."
Upon hearing this, Liu Hai was inwardly flustered, but he still tried to remain calm on the surface. There were countless people named Liu Hai in the capital, and he usually acted so discreetly that it was unlikely that he had been exposed. There must have been a mistake.
Seeing this, Kong Xi sneered and threw the document in his hand directly in front of Liu Hai, telling him to take a good look. It was clearly a photo of the eighteen boxes of goods that he had been longing for.
Liu Hai quickly flipped through the photos, each one showing the contents of the box, and he was completely stunned.
How could this be? He clearly watched the ship leave, and there were no suspicious people at the dock when the cargo was being loaded. How could these things be in their hands? He had considered that the goods might have been stolen by someone else or swallowed up by their subordinates, but he never expected that these things would be discovered by the authorities.
Seeing these photos, Liu Hai knew he was doomed. His energy seemed to have been completely drained, and he almost couldn't stand up straight.
Kong Xi glanced at him and said to the police officer behind him, "Take him away."
Liu Hai was handcuffed and taken out by the police in his own yard. His head was drooping, but when he saw his father, who had rushed back after hearing the news, his lifeless eyes suddenly lit up with hope, and he shouted to his father, "Dad, I really didn't do anything."
"They must have made a mistake."
"Comrade, Liu Hai has said he's been wronged. Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?" Liu's father said without asking any questions.
Kong Xi raised his dark eyes and glanced at Liu's father, then replied, "Comrade, we police officers always rely on evidence. Do you think I came here to arrest people without having any evidence? If you have anything to explain, you can appeal later. You should be very clear about these procedures, right?"
After Kong Xi answered, he didn't want to waste any more time and turned around and left with his men.
"Dad, Dad, I really didn't do anything wrong! Someone must be plotting against me, plotting against the Liu family! You have to think of something!" Liu Hai shouted suddenly, as if he had been stimulated by something, after being forced to move his feet.
Liu's father slowly clenched his hands at his sides and responded sternly, "Go over there and talk things out. I will definitely investigate who is behind this."
After Liu Hai was taken away, the entire Liu family fell into deep thought, and the atmosphere became somber.
Mr. Liu had just returned home and had no idea what Liu Hai had done wrong. After his wife described what was in the photo, Mr. Liu's eyes widened, and he quickly went back to his room, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.
