Cao Yajun stood in the courtyard with a dark expression, and no one else dared to speak.
But I can't pretend to be mute!
"Boss, we really didn't do it. If we had taken it, why would we still be here waiting for you to come back?"
"Yes, it really wasn't us."
Cao Yajun gritted his teeth, looking at the clean yard, not even a tire track.
The outside has been thoroughly checked, and there's nothing unusual.
"So, the thing just vanished into thin air?" He smiled at them.
Is this a joke? A joke? Is it funny?
The others didn't know how to answer either, but that's how it is; they really didn't steal the items.
Seeing their almost tearful expressions, Cao Yajun had a dark face but was helpless.
However, when he went out for another stroll, he discovered something.
There is a mark on the side wall where a ladder was placed.
He went over to take a look. The marks were still fresh, with some footprints scattered around. Because the ground was dry, there were no useful clues at all.
Now he understood, but how could he possibly steal something using a ladder?
This is simply impossible.
So, who exactly stole the things?
...
Xu Xiangyang woke up and checked the time. It was already past eight o'clock. He hadn't been to the construction site for so long, he had to go and check it out.
He washed up, ate something quickly, and then rode away on his bicycle.
He gave the new bicycle to Xu Guangtian, keeping the old one for himself.
Although the vehicle is quite old, it has to be said that this old Forever is really durable and hasn't had any problems yet.
Aside from looking a bit old, the bike is perfectly fine to ride.
Arriving at the construction site, the overall framework was already in place, and it was clearly visible from the selected location.
The car was parked in the parking area at the entrance. The person watching the car already knew Xu Xiangyang, so he didn't stop the car at all.
Xu Xiangyang arrived at Director Ma's office. There were few people there; he was the only one looking at the blueprints.
"Director Ma, you're busy, aren't you?" he greeted as he entered.
Director Ma looked up and saw him, and said, "Oh, Secretary Xu, you still remember this place? I thought you weren't coming back."
He was joking; whether Xu Xiangyang came or not was completely irrelevant.
Since they were already familiar with the blueprints, they didn't need him to come over.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "How could I not remember? How's it going lately? I think the framework is already in place."
He looked outside and saw that the roof was almost finished; the progress was very fast.
Director Ma nodded. "The progress is quite fast. It hasn't rained recently, so it hasn't delayed the work."
It hasn't rained for a month, so the drought is obviously quite severe.
If this continues, the harvest this year may not be good.
Looking at the scorching sun outside, Xu Xiangyang remained silent.
Director Ma, who was standing nearby, also checked the weather. The sky was cloudless, and the wind was hot.
August is almost here, and if it doesn't rain soon, it's going to get scorching hot.
The two chatted about the recent project, and then Xu Xiangyang waited until noon before preparing to go back.
Before leaving, he saw Zhou Tianyi waiting for someone at the door.
He pushed his bicycle and ignored it, then walked past the door.
"Secretary Xu," Zhou Tianyi called out to him.
Xu Xiangyang turned and glanced at him. "What's up?"
Why did you come looking for me as soon as you arrived? You're keeping a close eye on me.
Zhou Tianyi glanced around and then said, "I heard you sell goods on the black market, is that right?"
His tone was firm, not questioning, and certainly not probing.
Xu Xiangyang's eyes darkened slightly, and he sneered, "Comrade Zhou, are you talking in your sleep?"
This person actually secretly investigated me?
He was very unhappy. After what happened with Cao Yajun, he always felt like he was being investigated and had no protection.
Zhou Tianyi could tell he was very unhappy.
"Secretary Xu, I don't mean anything by it. I just want to sell you a batch of goods. It's a sure thing that you'll make a profit." His eyes were filled with a sense of determination.
Xu Xiangyang simply pushed the bike away, not wanting to hear what he was going to say next.
Zhou Tianyi also didn't expect that this person would leave like this.
He stood there, stunned, and watched as the person rode away on their bicycle.
They're leaving already?
Xu Xiangyang rode his bicycle, but he felt no curiosity whatsoever about what had just been said.
After all, ever since he sensed that someone was acting strangely, he had always tried to avoid them.
If I get involved with Song Fubao's strange family, I'm really afraid it will bring me trouble.
Moreover, he has no shortage of goods and supplies.
He can buy anything as long as he has money!
Besides, he hasn't even checked what he got last night.
I reckon Cao Yajun has a lot of good stuff!
This scoundrel is on the same side as Director Liu, except he has better ideas.
Now that Xu Xiangyang has obtained what he wants, he naturally won't leave anything for him.
No, there's still air, and loneliness!
When he got home, he went to the front yard and stayed there for a while until he had dinner before going back.
My home is so close to me, I can't just not go home for meals, can I?
While you still have time, spend more time with them, because later you won't have the time to do so.
After entering the space, Xu Xiangyang looked at the goods scattered all over the floor and then opened them one by one.
Besides some food and scarce supplies, he even found a large quantity of medicine!
