Chapter 281 It’s Him
Li Ying was puzzled by this, but she was certain of one thing, that is, the Nan family was not as peaceful as it seemed. This also explained why Nan Shiran was so difficult to track down. If the Nan family had really abandoned Nan Shiran, Nan Shiran should not have been so arrogant, but with the support of the Nan family, it was different.
In the evening, when Ye Jingchi came back, Li Ying told him these words and asked him what he thought.
"I think your judgment is correct. The Nan family definitely didn't make a statement as peaceful as it seems. However, we can't find any evidence against them right now, so we can only attack from the side."
Li Ying also knew that it was very dangerous to thoroughly investigate the Nan family. Jing Yingyan couldn't do it, and neither could they. They could only start from that place.
"Who is the local tyrant in Jiangcheng?"
"They're entrenched in the area around the station, as well as the coal yard and some areas of the mine. Jing Yingyan was ambushed when he went to the mine last time to consider things."
"Is it easy to check?"
Ye Jingchi shook his head: "They are too scattered, and it is not easy to investigate, but we will try our best to find the leader of these people."
"To capture the leader of a thief, we must first find the leader. Only by finding the leader can we catch all these people in one fell swoop."
Ye Jingchi heard some noise at the door and stood up to open it.
Diudiu stood in the living room, holding a water cup in his little hands, and said timidly, "I want to drink some water."
"Next time you want to drink water, you can call Auntie Lan. You are so young, it would be bad if you hurt your hand." Ye Jingchi patted Diudiu's head.
Diudiu put down the cup and ran back to the room.
Li Ying stood at the door, watched Diudiu close the door, and pulled Ye Jingchi back to the room.
"Go to sleep."
Ye Jingchi nodded.
They knew that Diudiu was a very strange child, but they preferred to believe that he was not a bad kid.
In the morning, Alan took Diudiu and Chenchen to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. On the way, they met Sister Xiumei. Sister Xiumei was very enthusiastic. She picked up Chenchen and went home with Alan.
When walking down the street, I heard some music.
Alan asked curiously, "What is this for?"
Sister Xiumei said, "This is a long-lived old man on this street. He said he's celebrating his ninetieth birthday, and the whole street has come to congratulate him. Do you want to see the excitement? Let me tell you, people here in Jiangcheng really value family values. Every household has an ancestral hall, and people with the same surname hold some kind of ancestral worship ceremony every year."
“Isn’t that a lot of people?”
"Yes, there are a lot of people, many with every surname. As long as you have the same surname, you can sit down and eat."
Sister Xiumei loved to join in such fun, but after being scolded by her husband several times, she no longer dared to do so.
"Everyone, everyone, I, Tong, am very grateful for your kindness in coming to celebrate the old man's birthday. Today, everyone who comes to my house will be treated to delicious food and drinks. I guarantee you will leave with a great time."
The speaker was a middle-aged man, with a strong build, tall and mighty, a pair of small eyes that were very bright, but he spoke very fluently.
"Auntie, I want to eat meat." Diudiu shook Alan's hand.
Chenchen also nodded: "It smells so good, Chenchen wants to eat meat too."
Sister Xiumei smiled and said, "That won't do. We have no relatives or friends with them, so how can we join in the fun?"
Diudiu was very disappointed. She let go of Alan's hand, ran to the man, stretched out her little hand, and said something. The man gave her a handful of candy.
Diudiu ran back and gave Chenchen a few.
Alan and sister-in-law Xiumei didn't stay long and went back to the family building.
Li Ying slept so much during her pregnancy that when she woke up, Alan had already prepared dinner.
"Alan, remember to call me next time. I'll go out with you."
Sleeping like this all the time is not a solution.
"Okay, I'll remember to call you next time. I just went out to buy groceries and ran into Sister Xiumei. I also ran into a family on the street who was having a birthday party. There were so many people. But let me tell you, we don't celebrate birthdays in my hometown. If you do, everyone dies." Alan was not exaggerating. In her hometown, if you do, everyone dies.
It is also because life has become better in the past two years. Some people have made some money and have forgotten their feet. They like to do these things and plan to hold a birthday party for the elderly in the family. As a result, if they hold it today, the elderly will die in a few days, as if it were a curse.
"Is it possible that they knew the old man's body wouldn't last much longer, so they held the ceremony in advance to give him some fun."
This is Li Ying’s idea.
"That should be the case." Alan felt that what Li Ying said made sense.
Just after finishing the meal, a soldier in military uniform ran over to tell Li Ying.
"Sister-in-law, Captain Ye is injured and is in the hospital, but don't worry, he's fine."
Li Ying was also surprised when he heard this. He was injured just after arriving in Jiangcheng, which shows that the forces here are indeed extraordinary.
Li Ying told Alan to take good care of the children at home, and she went to the hospital to check on Ye Jingchi's condition.
Ye Jingchi was only shot in the arm and suffered no other injuries.
"Are you okay?" Li Ying sat down and held Ye Jingchi's hand.
"It's okay. I was shot in the arm. Luckily, I reacted quickly and dodged it."
Ye Jingchi comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm fine. It was just an accident."
"Captain, this is not an accident. You are being targeted by that group of people," said the soldier.
Ye Jingchi glared at the soldier and asked, "Can you please stop scaring his wife?"
Li Ying was not afraid, but she felt that these people were everywhere.
"Your whereabouts are not confidential, how did anyone know about it?"
Ye Jingchi smiled and said, "Once you come to Jiangcheng, there's no need to keep your whereabouts secret. They're everywhere, and they should even know how many times you've been to the bathroom."
This is scary.
The soldier's cheeks flushed slightly: "Captain, you are too scary."
Ye Jingchi felt that he was exaggerating: "I was just making an analogy, don't be afraid. I was indeed careless today, otherwise they wouldn't be able to hurt me."
"Do they have guns?"
"Yes, they have guns and bullets. I think they bought these through smuggling, because we have strict control over guns and ammunition. Jiangcheng is close to the sea, so smuggling is common."
Li Ying is not afraid of anything else, but those people have guns in their hands, which is very dangerous.
"Don't be afraid. They are just shooting from behind and don't dare to do it openly." Ye Jingchi comforted Li Ying, holding her hand and comforting her.
Li Ying was not very scared, she was just worried that something might happen to Ye Jingchi. She really didn't want to experience the heartache of separation from him again.
"Am I here at the wrong time?" Jing Yingyan asked with a smile, standing at the door of the ward.
"Come in, come in."
Li Ying stood up and greeted.
The soldier withdrew, and Jing Yingyan entered the ward. Li Ying walked to the side of the bed and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "Mayor Jing, the public security in your Jiangcheng is really terrible. We were injured right after arriving here, and you won't give us an explanation?"
Jing Yingyan smiled helplessly: "It was my negligence in my work. I will consult with the comrades of the Ministry of Public Security to strengthen the public security management of our city."
Li Ying saw that the two of them had something to say, so she patted Ye Jingchi on the shoulder and said, "You guys talk, I'll go back and take care of the kids."
"Be careful." Ye Jingchi warned.
After Li Ying left, Jing Yingyan handed the information he had obtained to Ye Jingchi with a serious expression.
"It really is him!"
