Xie Yan listened, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper, before interrupting the police officer directly, "Did you get my suitcase back?"
Xie Yan was already quite agitated at this point, and really didn't want to listen to the disgusting explanations from the police officer in front of him anymore.
The police officer shook his head with a helpless and regretful expression, his eyes revealing a hint of exhaustion, as if they had done their best. "They've probably been moved far away by now."
"They've probably already left the province."
The police officer was so angry at these words that he laughed. He closed his eyes and then opened them again, staring straight at the police officer in front of him, and said, word by word, "So you're telling me that my suitcase is gone?"
Although the police officer in front of Xie Yan was young, his attitude was very firm. He nodded again and said, "We don't even know where your suitcase is now, so it's difficult for us to get it back for you."
"Didn't you just say that you're just a doctor? Your suitcase probably only contains some medicine. The hospital is just to the left of the exit, you can go there and get some more."
Xie Yan's face instantly turned cold at these words, his eyes blazing with barely suppressed anger. "What if what they stole this time was a vital national secret?"
"Is this your attitude too?"
To everyone's surprise, the police officer in front of him chuckled dismissively.
Although nothing was said, what is there that is not understood?
Xie Yan suddenly stood up, and without saying a word, turned and left.
This was the first time he had ever seen police officers acting like pimps in this era, and he was utterly disgusted. It was like finding a rat dropping next to a perfectly good pot of porridge—utterly repulsive.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I ran into someone who had just finished making a phone call. She said she was another soldier who had come to receive the thank-you banquet.
When Xie Yan saw her, before she could say anything, he sneered, his tone full of sarcasm: "Let's go."
Zhang Jianguo was somewhat surprised, but he quickly said, "Comrade Xie, I have already spoken to the leader, and he said he will definitely get your suitcase back."
"Hehe, the police officer said that my suitcase is not going to be found, and told me to buy some more medicine at the pharmacy next door."
Xie Yan said angrily, then sneered, "I didn't expect the hospitals here to be so powerful that they can buy century-old ginseng so easily."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianguo was shocked. Although he knew Xie Yan's suitcase was valuable, he never expected that it would contain a century-old ginseng.
He also knew that Xie Yan had brought this century-old ginseng to treat the old chief's illness. The thought of the local police being so irresponsible made her eyes turn cold.
But he still looked at Xie Yan solemnly and said, "Comrade Xie, don't worry, I will definitely get your things back intact."
"If they don't do anything, I'll find someone else to help, and we'll definitely get the stuff back as soon as possible."
Xie Yan forced a smile.
He really didn't want to say anything at that moment.
I'm disgusted by the police here.
Seeing this banquet, Zhang Jianguo didn't say anything more and took the banquet directly to the military guesthouse that had been reserved in advance.
After settling Xie Yan in, she immediately called her supervisor and carefully reported the situation, especially the police's inaction.
The leader on the other end narrowed his eyes as he listened. "Alright, I understand the situation you're describing. I'll immediately send people to support Liu Yongzhi, retrieve the suitcase as soon as possible, and protect Comrade Xie over there."
Zhang Jianguo immediately responded.
It has to be said that the army is fast. After Xie Yan woke up from his nap, he had just pushed open the door of the guesthouse when he saw Zhang Jianguo standing outside.
Xie Yan was quite startled by her.
He took two steps back to steady himself, and the door, which was halfway closed, came to an abrupt stop.
Seeing that he had startled Xie Yan, Zhang Jianguo felt a little embarrassed, and a barely perceptible blush appeared on his bronze face. "Um, I'm sorry! I scared you."
After saying that, he quickly handed the breakfast in his hand to Xie Yan, "Breakfast!"
Xie Yan shook his head. "It's nothing, but why did you get up so early?" He said, taking the breakfast as he spoke.
Seeing that there were many types of breakfast in the bag, Xie Yan didn't hesitate and directly picked a box of rice noodle rolls. Looking at the thick layer of chili sauce on top, he swallowed hard, wanting to eat it.
He handed the rest of the breakfast to Zhang Jianguo, knowing that the man wanted to protect him, and said directly, "Comrade Zhang, you eat first. I also need to go back for breakfast now. I won't be going out. I'll find you after I finish eating."
Zhang Jianguo nodded and looked at Xie Yan, saying, "Comrade Xie, your box has been found, but we also found several other boxes like yours, and several of them have already been opened. Can you tell us specifically what's inside the boxes so our people can check them to see if anything is missing?"
When Xie Yan heard that the box had been found, he was overjoyed. He even squeezed the lunchbox in his hand until it left an imprint. He was so excited that he didn't know how to thank Zhang Jianguo. He had been so upset by the police's attitude yesterday that he was prepared to lose the box.
Now that I heard it's been found, I quickly expressed my gratitude.
After thanking him, Xie Yan put down the lunchbox in her hand and quickly made another list of the items in her suitcase.
Zhang Jianguo glanced at the list and then turned to leave.
Xie Yan, who was having breakfast back inside, belatedly realized what had happened and broke out in a cold sweat.
Xie Yan stared intently at the rice noodle rolls in front of him. The morning sunlight streamed through the window, gently illuminating the rice noodle rolls on the table, adding a soft filter to them. But Xie Yan had no heart to appreciate the beautiful morning light at this moment.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, slowly sliding down his cheeks and soaking his collar.
