Fu Wan was giving instructions to Fu San at the moment. The quality of this batch of croaker was good. She asked Fu San to call Sun Youjin and also to inform the Hong Kong boss surnamed He.
These wealthy people love fish maw the most. What ordinary people would never dare to eat in their entire lives is as simple as drinking water for them.
Old Master Fu called out to Fu Ming, instructing him to go back and pull a cart, so that after the fish were unloaded, he could transport the piece of ebony back.
Before the boat docked, Fu Wan tied the log with tarpaulin and hemp rope. Since it was the middle of the night, everyone could only see that it was a large log, but they couldn't see the material of the log.
The trip to sea was quite fruitful. It took twenty or thirty people almost an hour to move all the fish from the cold storage.
Fu San called Lin Wei and the others over to weigh and record the items. With Fu San keeping an eye on things, Fu Wan and Fu Ming were relieved to take the ebony back with them.
Ye Xiaocui didn't quite understand why Fu Wan brought a piece of wood home. Fu Wan didn't explain either, only saying that the wood was good and she planned to take it back to make furniture.
When the group returned home, Jiang Chunlan had already boiled the water.
Fu Wan left her a portion of fish, which included a lot of small yellow croaker and mandarin fish that are suitable for postpartum women. Jiang Chunlan happily accepted the fish and took it home.
With only her own family left at home, Fu Wan then inquired about Qin Anning.
"Sister-in-law, is something wrong?"
Qin Anning didn't know what to say, but Ye Xiaocui, seeing this, hurriedly spoke up.
"Oh dear, you guys don't know yet, Anning has been bullied!"
I don't know which bastard reported her for taking money from enemy agents, but now someone is investigating her!
"Oh, Wan, aren't you close to those leaders? Could you talk to them and say that Anning is a good girl and would never do such a thing!"
"What, a report?"
Fu Wan was still examining the piece of wood when she heard this and looked up in surprise.
"Sister-in-law, really? You've been reported?"
Qin Anning tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing a bitter smile.
"It's true. Commander Wang told me to come back and wait for the investigation process to be completed."
Since everyone in the courtyard was family, Qin Anning didn't hide anything and briefly explained in a few words that she had been reported.
Although she spoke lightly, Fu Ming's face darkened with heartache.
What kind of bastard dared to report his wife? If he finds out, he'll be in big trouble!
Fu Wan also frowned, and after thinking for a moment, she looked at Qin Anning.
"Sister-in-law, do you know who reported you?"
Qin Anning shook her head, looking completely bewildered.
"I don't know either. Commander Wang said it was an anonymous report, and the investigation team didn't say anything either."
Qin Anning had thought about this question herself, but no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't figure out who she had offended.
Normally, her work routine revolves around her residence, the cafeteria, and the office. None of her colleagues in the project team would do something like that.
Fu Wan frowned in thought. Qin Anning usually devoted herself to her work, and her family had never heard her mention any conflicts with her colleagues.
Reporting crimes these days is not so simple. If it's serious, you might lose your job or even end up in jail.
So it's not a deep-seated hatred, nor would it warrant reporting someone.
Qin Anning has a special identity and a special job. So, was the other party's intention in reporting Qin Anning as a person, or was it aimed at what Qin Anning did?
Fu Wan couldn't help but fall into deep thought again. If it was because of Qin Anning, Qin Anning hadn't offended anyone. If anyone could be said to have offended anyone, the only possibility was those people who had forced her to go on blind dates and get married before.
She rejected the matchmaker her boss had arranged and ultimately chose an ordinary fisherman. Fu Wan couldn't remember the name of the man who had previously taken a liking to Qin Anning.
I only remember Bai Qianzhou mentioning it once, saying that the person had already changed careers long ago.
Since he's changed careers, it probably isn't that person. So, the last possibility is that he's after Qin Anning's job.
Thinking of this, Fu Wan asked, "Sister-in-law, have you deciphered the sonar we retrieved a while ago?"
Qin Anning hesitated for two seconds, then nodded and said, "More or less, but I'm not at liberty to say the specifics."
Although they are all family, Qin Anning always keeps the confidentiality rules in mind.
Fu Wan smiled and said, "Then I should know what they're after."
"Ah Wan, do you mean An Ning was reported because the sonar was about to be cracked?"
Fu Ming grasped the key point, while Qin Anning subconsciously shook her head.
"That doesn't make sense. If it were really about sonar, everyone would have wanted to crack it as soon as possible."
unless--"
"Are there enemy agents in the camp?"
Fu Ming blurted it out without thinking, and Qin Anning subconsciously slapped his arm lightly, "What are you saying? What kind of place is a camp? How could there be enemy agents there?"
After saying that, she looked at Fu Wan. Fu Wan had also guessed this, but Qin Anning was right. What kind of place was the camp? If there were enemy agents, it would be too terrible.
"Never mind, even if there are enemy agents, I believe the comrades in the camp can handle it."
It's getting late, and I shouldn't make any more calls. I'll call the camp tomorrow morning to see if Commander Sun has returned.
After Fu Wan finished speaking, she took Qin Anning's hand and patted it to comfort her.
"Sister-in-law, don't think so much. We are innocent and we have nothing to hide. We are not afraid of them investigating what we did wrong. Take this opportunity to take a vacation and rest at home."
"Really? I said the same thing. This afternoon I went beachcombing with your sister-in-law. Go to the kitchen and see, we dug up a whole bucket of moon clams."
Ye Xiaocui happened to come out of the kitchen and chimed in when she heard this.
Qin Anning had long since lost the frustration she felt when she first returned. She had gone out with Ye Xiaocui that afternoon, and most of her gloom had dissipated.
Now that Fu Ming and Fu Wan are back, she doesn't seem sad at all when she talks about it now.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Seeing Qin Anning smile again, Fu Ming let out a sigh of relief. He shouldn't let his good wife be saddened by these trivial matters.
It's just a job, and it doesn't pay much. It's only because his wife likes it that he would have advised Qin Anning to quit long ago.
If she enjoys researching these things, I can just let her do it at home.
But can you research something like this at home?
Fu Ming scratched his head. If they couldn't, they could at least do some research in secret, right?
Qin Anning had no idea what he was thinking. Seeing that Fu Wan and Fu Ming looked travel-worn, she hurriedly urged them to take a bath.
It's getting late, I need to rest after my shower.
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu were sleeping soundly in Fu Wan's old room when they woke up the next day to find many more fishing nets and bamboo tubes in the yard, and guessed that Fu Wan and the others had returned.
It happened to be the weekend, and they didn't have to go to school. The two brushed their teeth, ran around the dock twice, bought some breakfast, and then skipped and hopped back home.
