"My God, are these all officials?"
Aunt Li whispered to Wang Xiuer beside her, and Wang Xiuer rolled her eyes at her.
"Don't look around like that, a whole table of food can't shut you up."
Aunt Li pursed her lips. Qian Xiaohua had met Sun Shao Ping before. Thinking of what had happened before, she quickly buried her head in her bowl, afraid that Sun Shao Ping would target her.
Seeing that everyone had taken their seats, Boss Fu quickly went out to notify the kitchen to serve the dishes.
After Fu Wan invited Sun Shaoping and the others to sit down, she noticed there were still empty seats on the table, so she thought for a moment and then called Fang Min over to sit down as well.
Feng Ji, who was standing next to Zhao Gang, had met him a few times before. He picked up a bottle of liquor and was about to pour it into Zhao Gang's bowl.
"Hey, no drinking, no drinking, Lao Feng, I have things to do this afternoon."
Feng Ji was about to scold him when he heard this, but seeing Sun Shao Ping who was smiling and not saying anything, he finally shut his mouth.
He was specially picked up by Fu Wan when she went to the county town to buy things early this morning. Although he had never met Sun Shaoping, he had heard of the name of the camp leader.
I never expected to run into Fu Wan at her banquet.
Feng Ji narrowed his eyes. This old chief probably had some trouble that he needed Fu Wan's help with again.
The banquet at Fu Wan's house this time consisted of eight dishes, all prepared by a well-known chef in the village.
Seeing a table full of braised pork and seafood, the moment the firecrackers went off, everyone couldn't wait to start eating.
"Wow, Master Fu is really generous! There's even abalone in the braised pork!"
Although the abalone is not very big, it is tender and chewy when you bite into it, and everyone is very satisfied.
At first, Aunt Li could still chatter a bit, but after a few dishes were served, she couldn't keep up and kept stuffing food into her mouth.
The table was mostly filled with meat dishes; even the stewed cabbage had plenty of meat slices visible at a glance.
In addition, since Elder Fu did not accept gifts, all the villagers who were invited praised Elder Fu's generosity, both in their hearts and in their words.
At this moment, the most distressed people were probably Old Lady Wang and Fu Dalaizi.
Old Mrs. Wang was upset because she couldn't bear to see Old Master Fu living such a glamorous life, especially when Zhao Gang and Sun Shao-ping drove by, she even saw them through the back door.
Such a magnificent jeep clearly indicates someone of wealth and status, which infuriated Old Lady Wang.
Fu Da Laizi's discomfort stemmed from envy and jealousy.
But at the same time, he was also a little smug, thinking that he was about to go out and make a lot of money. He would wait two years and come back to see if these people would come to curry favor with him!
Yes, Fu Dalaizi also has great ambitions, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to sell the house left by his parents.
After the banquet ended, many uncles and aunts helped clean up the table. Fu Wan saw Sun Shao Ping to the door and, after thinking for a moment, asked the question that had been on her mind.
"Commander Sun, you didn't just come here for the housewarming party, did you?"
Sun Shao-ping laughed and said, "You saw right through me. Yes, attending the banquet was just a side thing."
After saying that, he looked around again. Seeing this, Bai Qianzhou and Zhao Gang took the initiative to go to the side and act as guards.
Seeing his serious demeanor, Fu Wan was secretly alarmed, fearing that Sun Shao Ping's true purpose was of great importance.
Sure enough, seeing that there was no one around, Sun Shao-ping took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Fu Wan.
"These are the confessions of the enemy agents we arrested a few days ago. Take a look!"
Fu Wan took it hesitantly, but didn't open it for a long time.
No, why show her such an important statement?
Sun Shao-ping noticed her hesitation and began to explain:
"Don't worry, there's not much classified information here. Showing it to you is a decision made by the organization."
"Of course, that's why I came to see you today."
Fu Wan was even more puzzled by these words. Encouraged by Sun Shaoping's gaze, she simply opened the envelope.
The envelope contained a confession, which Fu Wan read from beginning to end, becoming increasingly alarmed with each reading.
It's clearly written here that Smith's team was actually a treasure-hunting team cooperating with the American intelligence agency.
They had previously collaborated with the island nation, providing them with equipment while the Kui family sent people to search for their so-called ancestral treasures within China based on the notebook.
That is, the shipwreck hidden on the seabed that was discovered by Fu Wan.
Of course, the most important thing is the jade seal.
However, the United States did not initially believe that the Imperial Seal was in the waters off Fujia Village. According to Smith's testimony, they all believed that the seal was hidden in the waters within the territory of the United States.
This is also why Sun Shao-ping came to find Fu Wan.
Turning to the very end, Fu Wan discovered that the last sheet of paper in the statement was actually a letter of appointment for her.
"You want me to go to the beautiful country, Florida?"
Fu Wan gasped softly; she was genuinely shocked.
Sun Shaoping nodded and said, "This is the result of our discussion after listening to Smith's testimony yesterday. That foreigner said with great certainty that there is the Imperial Seal of the State in the waters off Florida."
"How is that possible? The imperial seal is clearly..."
“Mingming was sent to the capital by us, but Comrade Xiao Fu, China is a great nation with a history of five thousand years, and there has always been more than one imperial seal.”
"You mean, there's a high possibility that there's another jade seal in Florida?"
Sun Shao-ping nodded in agreement. Back when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, only the invaders themselves knew how much stuff those bandits took from China.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, we didn't want to trouble you, but we really have no other choice."
If these things left by our ancestors were to fall into other countries, not to mention others, even I, Old Sun, would lose my appetite and sleep.
"We've discussed it, and this time you and Comrade Bai Qianzhou will go together. The two of you don't have a particularly strong military presence, so you won't easily attract other people's attention."
As far as I know, Comrade Xiao Fu also has overseas connections. When you arrive in Florida, you can use the excuse of visiting relatives to get there, and there will be people there to meet you.
You have two requirements: first, ensure your own safety; second, bring the national treasure home.
Sun Shao-ping's last two sentences were so powerful that Fu Wan's blood immediately boiled.
"I have no problem going, but I have a question: how are we going to bring that thing back to China?"
The customs authorities on both sides are not to be trifled with. If something so important is brought up from the sea with great difficulty, it would be a real loss if it were stopped at customs.
"Don't worry about it. Just focus on retrieving the goods and transporting them back to the country. Someone else will take care of that."
In fact, Fu Wan's role was to determine the exact location of the imperial seal and to retrieve it from the water.
Smith said that the jade seal was located in the deep sea at a depth of nearly 100 meters, and the sonar they were studying was developed to detect this thing.
If he hadn't previously conducted numerous experiments in American waters, causing widespread fish deaths and drawing complaints and protests from local residents, he wouldn't have considered bringing his newly developed sonar to Chinese waters for testing this time.
