Fu Wan and Fu Laoda followed Xu Zhiqiang across the dock. Behind them was a row of bungalows built with blue bricks, and then they went into one of the rooms.
Perhaps confirming that what Fu Wan and the others said was not a mistake, Fu Wan clearly felt that Xu Zhiqiang was much more enthusiastic than before.
"Comrades, please have a seat here for a while. I'll go and report to the leadership again."
After Xu Zhiqiang finished speaking, he asked someone to pour them some water, and then hurriedly walked out.
As soon as the person left, Fu Liang's tense nerves instantly relaxed, and he let out a long sigh of relief before picking up the tea on the table and gulping it down.
"There's tea in here, that's really nice!"
As Fu Liang chewed on his tea leaves, he muttered to himself, "Nobody in the countryside drinks tea. I can't tell the difference between good and bad tea; it all tastes bitter."
Fu Ming looked around curiously, observing the comrades on guard nearby. He suddenly thought of Bai Qianzhou, who also worked here.
When Bai Qianzhou interacted with them on a daily basis, he seemed no different from them. Fu Ming couldn't associate such a serious work environment with Bai Qianzhou at all.
But he forgot that when he first injured his leg, Bai Qianzhou was also a serious person. It's just that now he has spent a lot of time with the Fu family, and with the relationship with Qin Mingzhu, Bai Qianzhou is very comfortable in front of them.
"Haha, Comrade Fu, it's been a long time!"
Before Sun Shao-ping even entered, his hearty laughter could be heard from the doorway.
As the camp leader, Fu Wan instinctively stood up and greeted Boss Fu with a smile: "Leader Sun, it's been a long time. I'm sorry to bother you again."
Sun Shao-ping waved his hand, gesturing for them to sit down. "I know you wouldn't come here without a reason. Comrade Xiao Fu, tell me quickly, what do you need me for?"
This "Little Fu" must be referring to Fu Wan; he doesn't know Fu Ming or Fu Liang yet.
Fu Wan smiled but didn't say anything. Then she glanced at Xu Zhiqiang and the other strangers standing next to her.
Having lived most of his life, Sun Shao-ping understood perfectly what Fu Wan meant.
He waved his hand at Xu Zhiqiang and the others, "You guys go out first and have the canteen arrange some food. These comrades definitely haven't had lunch yet!"
"Sir, this is against regulations. We need to ensure your safety here."
Hearing this, Sun Shao-ping frowned. "What guarantee? Do I need you to guarantee my safety?"
Besides, they're all from my hometown, how could they possibly hurt me?
"Hurry up, get out when we tell you to!"
Even though Xu Zhiqiang and the others knew that their leader was intentionally trying to get rid of them, they had no choice but to obey the order and go out.
Seeing that only the Fu family and Sun Shao-ping were left in the room, Fu Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that she didn't trust those comrades, but rather that this matter was too far-reaching, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
"Father, take it out!"
Fu Laoda responded, and then, under Sun Shaoping's curious gaze, he took the cloth bag out of his pocket.
"Comrade Fu, this piece of cloth is quite rare!"
At a glance, Sun Shao-ping noticed that the piece of silk was different from what he had seen before.
"Sir, the things inside are probably even rarer."
These words piqued Sun Shao-ping's interest even more.
Fu Wan opened the cloth bag as quickly as possible.
This time, the rope knot was certainly not as complicated as before. As the entire piece of silk was opened, the contents inside were once again revealed to everyone.
"What the hell is this?!"
After seeing what that thing looked like, Sun Shao-ping couldn't help but swear, and then stood up abruptly.
Because of his large movements, the chair behind him crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
Look at this thing, it has both dragon and tiger motifs. Even though it's just a small piece, Sun Shao-ping can sense that it's extraordinary.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, what...what is this?"
Sun Shao-ping paced around the table, so shocked that his tongue was tied and he could barely speak.
“Leader Sun, I don’t have a high level of education. But I’ve seen this in books. I compared it with the description in the books, and if I’m not mistaken, this thing should be the long-lost Imperial Seal of the State.”
Fu Wan quickly shared her guess.
"The Imperial Seal of the State?!"
Sun Shao-ping's breathing became heavy. Damn it, although he hadn't read many books, he knew that the imperial seal was something used by the emperor.
It's related to the emperor, so how could this be a trinket!
"Good, good, I need to report this to the central government immediately!"
As he was about to walk out, Fu Wan was about to stop him, but Sun Shao-ping turned back after taking only two steps.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, where did you get this thing?"
He truly lives up to his reputation as a high-ranking leader; not only did he calm down quickly, but his mind also works incredibly fast.
So Fu Wan kept it brief and told him about how she had accidentally found the notebook, asked Bai Qianzhou to translate it, and went on a treasure hunt at the bottom of the sea.
Sun Shaoping originally only wanted to find out where Fu Wan found this thing, but when he heard Fu Wan mention that there was a shipwreck and dozens of wooden boxes on the seabed, his serious face suddenly turned into a loud laugh.
You have to understand that the whole country is currently undergoing reform and opening up, and both cities and rural areas need to be developed, which requires money.
The army's expenses depended entirely on supplies from the central government, and when money was tight, they had to tighten their belts to make ends meet.
Putting aside whether the things Fu Wan discovered could be exchanged for money, the central government would surely give her some reward for handing them over!
Not to mention, if this matter is completed perfectly, Old Sun will be credited with a great achievement!
Thinking of this, Sun Shao-ping looked at Fu Wan with the same eyes he would look at a god of wealth.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, you are truly outstanding!"
He gave Fu Wan a thumbs up, saying that not only this jade seal, but all those things at the bottom of the sea were lost property of China. If Fu Wan hadn't discovered them and reported them, who knows when they would have been found.
Most importantly, according to Fu Wan's description, the Japanese have their eyes on those things, and if they don't find them, they might ask the United States for help.
If those two collude and secretly salvage something that belongs to China, even if it's not gold or a jade seal, even if it's just a blade of grass, Sun Shao-ping, who belongs to China, absolutely cannot be taken by them.
Thinking of this, Sun Shaoping's expression turned serious, and then he stood with his legs together and gave Fu Wan and Boss Fu a standard military salute.
"Comrades, on behalf of China and its people, I thank you!"
Fu Wan and the others returned the greeting in a similar manner, saying, "You flatter us, Leader Sun. Please arrange for people to go down and retrieve it as soon as possible!"
At this time, time is money.
Even though some islanders were arrested, they didn't know how many other islanders were eyeing the underwater creatures near Fu Family Village.
Sun Shao-ping naturally understood Fu Wan's concerns and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible. I'll have to trouble Comrade Xiao Fu to come with us again then."
After all, only Fu Wan knew the exact location of that thing.
Fu Wan nodded in agreement, "Okay, that's what I should do."
After explaining the matter, Fu Wan tied the imperial seal back with silk cloth and then solemnly handed it to Sun Shaoping.
Sun Shao-ping carefully took it. "I will arrange for someone to send this to the Central Committee as soon as possible. Whether it's true or not, Comrade Xiao Fu, I guarantee that the Central Committee will see your contributions!"
