"We borrowed Liu Pei's tracker and solved several major cases. The only drawback is that it can't track the target at a distance. Can you improve it? You can also get us one! We'll pay for it."
Wang Xiaolan:
“This, this…”
Zhao Lihan:
Section Chief Zeng looked at the two of them and said, "What's wrong? Are you having any trouble? This is something we can do for the country."
Wang Xiaolan looked at Zhao Lihan and signaled him to accept it so that he would not bother them again.
Zhao Lihan said, "I can make one for you. As for technical improvements, you'll have to find a radio expert to help you. My abilities are limited and I can't do that."
"Okay, that's settled. I'll send someone to pick it up in a few days."
After seeing them off, Wang Xiaolan and Zhao Lihan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
…
The group came out of Zhao Lihan's house and got on a jeep.
Not long after the car left the village, the people in the car began to talk about Zhao Lihan and Wang Xiaolan.
"Section Chief Zeng!" Chen Lixin frowned, his tone filled with obvious dissatisfaction and confusion. "I really can't understand what these two people are capable of? To have you value them so highly."
Another person shared the same sentiment. He felt that with their status and position, they would be warmly welcomed wherever they went.
"I don't think they have any talent. If they did, they wouldn't have agreed. It's better than staying in this godforsaken place! They have such a good opportunity, but they didn't even take the plunge. I think they're both a bit stupid."
"Humph! Why are you pretending to be so noble?"
Gong Jianguo was very upset when he heard them talking about Zhao Lihan and his wife. He said, "You can't say that. I've been working with Zhao Lihan for so long, I know his abilities. As for his wife, I don't know. Besides, there's a saying, 'The masters are among the people.'"
Zeng Qiang said seriously, "Comrade Gong is right. Xiao Chen, you have a prejudice against them. You know Liu Feng's abilities, and we all know them. Is he joking? Besides, I don't trust anyone easily, but I do trust Liu Feng."
Chen Lixin listened to their leader and didn't dare to say anything against him. He knew that after Liu Feng was transferred to their unit, he had solved several major spy cases, which was a well-known fact.
At this time everyone fell silent.
Secretary Zhou, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up and said, "I feel like this Comrade Xiao Wang looks very familiar. I seem to have seen him somewhere."
Another person chimed in, "Yeah! I feel the same way."
Chen Lixin said without hesitation: "She looks a bit like Zeng Cheng. They look like a pair of siblings..."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the car looked at him in surprise. He was about to continue speaking with great interest, but someone nodded at him, signaling him to stop, but he pretended not to notice. At this moment, someone coughed dryly, interrupting him, and he seemed to realize something.
The Zeng Cheng Chen Lixin refers to is actually Zeng Qiang's 28-year-old son. He has a rich and varied life, having once served in the military and dedicated his youth to his country. Today, he has made a remarkable transition and become a scout for the National Security Bureau.
At work, he always works hard silently. With his solid professional knowledge and outstanding business ability, he has repeatedly completed difficult tasks and won the respect and trust of his colleagues.
Zeng Qiang tilted his head back slightly and rested it comfortably on the soft backrest of the car seat, with his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping.
In fact, his ears were not idle, as he listened carefully to the conversations of the people around him. Although their voices were not loud, to Zeng Qiang, who had a keen sense of hearing, these words were as clear as echoes in his ears.
Although Zeng Qiang heard every word they said clearly, he acted as if he didn't care at all, as if he didn't notice it at all.
Chen Lixin sat up straight, stretched his neck, and looked at Section Chief Zeng who was sitting in the passenger seat. He saw that he had no expression on his face.
He was thinking: Did I say something wrong again? He felt extremely regretful and secretly cursed himself for speaking so recklessly!
At this moment, his face was flushed red, and his heart was like fifteen buckets of anxiety, up and down.
He opened his mouth, wanting to explain to Section Chief Zeng what he had just said, but the words that were on the tip of his tongue seemed to be stuck in his throat as if under a spell, making him unable to spit them out.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the car became more and more solemn. Chen Lixin felt as if he was in a huge steamer, and his whole body was hot and unbearable.
He kept thinking in his mind how to save this embarrassing situation, but the more anxious he became, the more confused his thoughts became.
Section Chief Zeng never turned around; he just shifted slightly. Chen Lixin's heartbeat quickened, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
The car had been filled with laughter and joy, but as soon as he said this, silence fell. The entire car fell into an eerie silence, with only the roar of the car engine echoing in their ears.
The car sped along the rugged mountain road at lightning speed. The scenery outside the car window was like a flowing painting, constantly changing colors and scenes, but the people in the car had no time to appreciate this beautiful scenery.
…
Wang Xiaolan and Zhao Lihan saw the guests off, looked at each other without saying a word, and then returned to the living room silently.
She plopped down on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Lihan walked into the kitchen, picked up the thermos, and poured a cup of boiling water. He carried the cup to the sofa and carefully handed it to her. Wang Xiaolan took the water and took a sip.
She raised her head, looked at Zhao Lihan, and said, "Hubby, it looks like we still have a lot to do."
Zhao Lihan took the empty cup handed to him by Wang Xiaolan and nodded.
After dinner, the two of them went to the space mall and bought some spare parts. They couldn't use all the parts in the space to avoid arousing their suspicion, so they decided to go to the hardware store in the county town to buy some spare parts.
Just as they were walking back, they suddenly found a lot of people gathered at the gate of a factory, shouting for their parents.
"What should I do? My whole family depends on my salary to survive."
"My wife is seriously ill and needs money for medical treatment and medicine. There are seven or eight people in my family who rely on my salary."
A woman sat on the ground and cried: "Oh my God! This factory has collapsed. Our whole family will not survive. My husband is paralyzed in bed, and my mother-in-law is sick..."
Wang Xiaolan went forward and saw that it was the County Seasoning Factory. She was shocked and thought to herself, "Isn't this the factory that wanted to steal my secret recipe? What are they doing..."
She saw a middle-aged man sitting on a big rock not far away, smoking with his head down.
She pulled Zhao Lihan over to the man and asked, "Comrade, are you a worker at this factory?"
The man raised his head and looked at Wang Xiaolan. He was shocked at first, and suddenly remembered something...
