As Song Meili walked back, she saw Bai Luomei waiting for her.
Song Meili asked, "Luo Mei, what are you doing here? Weren't you going to find my third brother?"
Bai Luomei said with a look of unspoken unease, "Your third sister-in-law is a tigress."
Song Meili gets angry whenever Ruan Qingling is mentioned. Last time, Bai Luomei said that she was made of paper and afraid of everything. Now she finally has a chance to speak.
"If she's a tigress, then you're a grizzly bear. Why should you be afraid of her?"
Bai Luomei looked hurt and asked, "Do you think I'm a bear?"
Song Meili explained, "Of course you're not a bear. It's my third brother who's blinded by that vixen and can't see your good qualities. As long as we work together, we'll definitely be able to drive that vixen away."
Bai Luomei's expression immediately improved: "As long as you stand on the same side as me, I'm not afraid."
Song Meili said, "Don't worry, I will definitely stand on the same side as you, you don't need to worry."
Bai Luomei: "So when do you plan to go and meet Ruan Qingling?"
It's one thing to say it, but Song Meili has to meet Ruan Qingling.
Song Meili said, "At least wait until I get my salary. Look at me now, I don't have a single penny on me."
Bai Luomei looked surprised: "Weren't you with your second brother? Why didn't you tell him?"
The mere mention of this matter caused Song Meili's heart to clench.
She wanted to speak, but before she could say anything, her second brother hurriedly got into the car.
Why!
Life in town is very different from that in the village; without money, it's practically impossible to get by.
Food costs money, a place to sleep costs money, everything costs money.
Fortunately, she now has a job.
You can eat at the factory if you go to work.
Although I don't want to go, I have no choice but to go now.
She then had no time to go find Ruan Qingling.
"Go see your second brother tonight," Bai Luomei said.
Song Meili shook her head.
Bai Luomei asked, "What don't you mean?"
Song Meili: "He's still at the health center. Last time I bought gifts and spent all my money. Now I want to buy more things, but I don't have any money."
Bai Luomei was also unwilling to help Song Meili pay for it.
I'm worried I won't be able to get it back.
So he asked, "What are you going to do now?"
Song Meili said, "Let's see how it goes in the next couple of days. Didn't you say you were going to stay in town for a few days? Did you bring any money?"
Her eyes suddenly lit up: "Let's go buy something to eat first, I'm hungry."
Bai Luomei: "..."
It seems that running to town was not a wise choice for her.
...
That night, Ruan Qingling and Ya Ya were both asleep when footsteps approached outside the ward, followed by a call from outside: "Director Song."
He knew it was Xiao Jiang's voice as soon as he heard it.
Song Shiting quickly sat up, glanced at Ruan Qingling and her daughter beside him, and tiptoed outside.
The corridor lights illuminated Xiao Jiang's anxious expression. He said, "Director Song, he has already left."
In any case, that person was Song Shiting's second brother.
He couldn't figure out what Song Shiting was going to do either.
Song Shiting's eyes were deep and unfathomable.
A cold, mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips: Was he afraid of being implicated, so he simply ran away?
Song Shiting said, "According to the previous plan, we will first conduct other investigations and record all the people we have identified. We will also record those who have not been investigated or who have fled to avoid punishment."
Xiao Jiang nodded and said, "Okay."
Song Shiting stood outside for a while before coming in.
Ruan Qingling had already woken up when Xiao Jiang called Song Shiting, so she heard what was being said outside.
When Song Shiting came in, Ruan Qingling asked, "Did Song Shirong run away?"
Using the dim light of the night outside, Song Shiting looked at Ruan Qingling and said, "I woke you up."
Ruan Qingling: "I'm not a heavy sleeper to begin with, and I was already awake when Xiao Jiang came over."
Song Shiting then said, "He did leave, probably because he was worried about things going wrong."
Ruan Qingling snorted and said, "He does know how to run."
Song Shiting responded, "Whatever I've done, I can't escape it no matter how long it takes."
Ruan Qingling: "Whether he ran away because he felt guilty or how he ran away, he's gone now. It's impossible to resolve this matter immediately. We'll have to think of another way."
She was convinced it must be Song Shirong; there couldn't be anyone else.
However, handling cases is not something you can do as you please; everything depends on evidence.
She just couldn't understand: "Why didn't they take action before? Why wait until now? Was it because there wasn't much interest or a significant conflict of interest before? Now the conflict of interest is much greater?"
Song Shiting didn't turn on the light. He sat down on the edge of the bed and said to Ruan Qingling, "It's getting late. Don't think about these things now. Get some sleep. We can deal with whatever comes up later."
Ruan Qingling knew that staying up all night thinking about this matter would be useless if she didn't sleep.
...
Early this morning, A Yuan came to the health center to find Song Shiting and handed him a thick envelope.
The two simply met, exchanged items, and neither said another word.
They brushed past each other and walked away.
At noon, as Song Shiting had predicted, he compared the information with people from nearby villages, but none of them matched.
In other words, the person has now escaped.
With the help of the traditional Chinese medicine brewed by Ruan Qingling, Song Shiting's body recovered quickly, but he also controlled himself from doing any physical activities.
Most of the tasks were assigned to Xiao Jiang.
Zhao Dongsheng simply watched coldly from the sidelines.
Around noon, Song Shiting placed the envelope in front of Zhao Dongsheng.
Zhao Dongsheng glanced at it and looked at Song Shiting with a puzzled expression.
Song Shiting's eyes were deep and his voice was cold: "Director Zhao, you might as well take a closer look."
Song Shiting integrated the information given by A Yuan, along with the news from Zhou Xiangdong. It showed that Lin Fang had violated regulations multiple times. As a cadre, she had engaged in various illegal activities. If this report were submitted, Lin Fang would definitely be in deep trouble.
Zhao Dongsheng never expected that Song Shiting would actually take such drastic measures by investigating his wife.
He asked Song Shiting, "What do you mean?"
Song Shiting said coldly, "It doesn't mean anything. I'm just letting you know not to do anything shady behind my back. I know that."
Zhao Dongsheng's expression changed.
He always thought that Song Shiting was just a former soldier who didn't have any local connections, so even if he beat Song Shiting up, he could only suffer in silence.
Unexpectedly, despite his seemingly calm demeanor and injury, he had been investigating so many things behind the scenes. Any one of these things, once reported, would be thoroughly investigated and confirmed, and Lin Fang would not have an easy time either.
Seeing Zhao Dongsheng's increasingly serious expression, Song Shiting said, "I haven't handed these over yet. It's not that I'm afraid to hand them over, Director Zhao, I hope you can understand what you need to understand."
He wanted Zhao Dongsheng to understand that he was not a pushover, nor was he a clay figure that could be manipulated at will.
