Although he intended to threaten the person, his goal was only to get money, not to actually report them. So when the evidence was lost, he became afraid, fearing he would be killed. Unable to find the person, he hesitated for a long time before finally calling them.
"What! You useless piece of trash, you can't even keep this little thing safe! I've already prepared the money for you, and now you're telling me your things are lost? Fine, you're something else!"
The person on the other end of the phone was furious, wishing he could rush over and strangle this useless fellow. He knew perfectly well who wanted money and who wanted to bring him down, so when he was threatened, he calmly prepared the money and even had the leisure to go have some tea.
But when he learned that these things had fallen into the hands of two strangers, he became nervous. They could obviously tell what was inside, and if they didn't want to get involved, they would have just thrown the things away and run away. They wouldn't have risked their lives to take the things away. So those two people definitely wanted to report him!
The person on the other end of the phone quickly analyzed the truth, slammed the phone down, and immediately ordered his men to make arrangements.
Two young men trying to take him down? They're way too naive.
Meanwhile, after more than two hours of travel, Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu arrived in the provincial capital. Instead of going directly to see anyone, they went to the guesthouse to rest for a while.
"Let's eat first. After we finish eating, I need to go find someone."
Xu Zijiang originally planned to submit the evidence himself, but after considering his current status, he realized that it wouldn't be easy to meet the big shots at the top. So, he decided to contact his old friends again.
Is he trustworthy?
Yu Jiu didn't ask who he was, but asked him with great concern if he was trustworthy. The word "trust" was enough to make one feel suffocated.
"perhaps."
If it were anything else, Xu Zi would confidently say it was worth it, but now he only dares to say "maybe".
"If that's the case, we can prepare for both possibilities."
Without even blinking, Yu Jiu offered a suggestion: in this matter, she trusted no one except Xu Zijiang.
"We can give him some of the evidence first to test his attitude, and then leave the rest with us. I have an absolutely safe place, you don't need to worry about that, no one can find it except me."
Furthermore, we'll prepare two sets of evidence for submission. We'll make a copy and anonymously send it to report the incident. How about that?"
It's normal not to place all your hopes on one person.
"good."
Xu Zijiang had long considered this suggestion, and it was excellent. One should always be wary of others; it's always better to have two plans.
So the two bought paper and pens and worked through the night copying the evidence, organizing and transcribing as they went. Actually, much of what they wrote was supplementary. There was one extremely crucial document; once handed over, that person would never recover. This was the core document: Yu Jiu. They had to keep that for now.
The two spent the whole night sorting through the evidence and finally categorizing and storing it. After a night of calm, Xu Zi decided that he would not personally appear to his old friend, but would instead send the items anonymously.
Although the man chasing them had seen their faces, the two men didn't know their names or where they lived. They hadn't returned to the guesthouse after escaping, so he naturally couldn't know their identities. In this era without security cameras, finding two people was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if he reported it to his superior, he might not be able to find them, so it was best for him to remain hidden here.
Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu had already disguised themselves when they arrived. Besides changing their clothes, they had also disguised their faces. Yu Jiu had transformed back into an ordinary, unremarkable girl, and Xu Zijiang had disguised himself as a simple, honest man. Xu Zijiang even used a tree branch as a cane, pretending to be a cripple.
Their backpacks had been replaced with floral-patterned bundles, and their current appearance was completely different from their appearance in the city. To be honest, even if the man who chased them yesterday were standing in front of them now, he might not recognize them.
The two acted separately today. Xu Zijiang went to scout ahead first to see if anyone was guarding the reporting station. Xu Zijiang was experienced, and he noticed that there were people secretly observing nearby as soon as he entered the area. There were more than one person.
He immediately pretended to be passing by and then turned back.
"The provincial level isn't enough; we need to continue north."
Xu Zijiang came to this conclusion: it would be best to go to the capital and submit the evidence directly in the provincial capital; it was too risky.
"Then let's go to the capital."
Yu Jiu said firmly, her disguised face ordinary but resolute.
Are you scared?
Xu Zijiang couldn't help but pinch Yu Jiu's waist and asked in a low voice, "If we hadn't run into each other, I wouldn't have cared. But since we've run into each other, even if there's danger, I have to hand over the evidence. I just don't know if it will implicate the person next to me."
However, the evidence was found by Yu Jiu, and the man had also seen her face. He wanted to get rid of her, but now it's impossible.
"Don't be afraid, I'm actually quite excited to talk about it. What we're about to do is something big, something that will benefit the people! Don't underestimate me, okay? It's not like you're the only one with the determination to serve the people and repay the country. I have it too!"
Who says women are inferior to men?
Yu Jiu puffed out her chest proudly, her eyes shining brightly. As members of the motherland, they all had a responsibility!
"That's fantastic, honey! I applaud you. You have such a great vision; I apologize for being presumptuous."
Xu Zi rubbed Yu Jiu's earlobe and smiled, suddenly feeling a surge of heroic spirit.
"Hmph, of course!"
Yu Jiu proudly raised her chin, extremely smug.
Since they had both decided to head north, they simply went straight to the capital. At every train and bus station, from the city to the province, there were large numbers of people deployed for checks, and the inspections suddenly became much stricter.
However, thanks to Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu's excellent disguise, and their choice to go to a relatively remote train station and buy tickets to the capital, they managed to get through without any major incidents.
After all, they never imagined that Xu Zijiang was the captain, that he had the right to issue certificates for himself, and that he carried a seal with him at all times, making it as easy for him to write certificates as eating and drinking.
Most importantly, what that person couldn't have imagined was that, just to report him, ordinary citizens like Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang would travel all the way to the capital. Leaving aside whether they had the money, the amount of time and effort they spent on that alone is unimaginable.
Many people who have never traveled far from home will never leave their province, or even their city, county, or commune, in their entire lives. Therefore, the immense fear of suddenly leaving the province would be overwhelming, so that person never even considered the possibility of the two of them personally going north to file a complaint.
At most, he might write anonymous whistleblower letters or send anonymous evidence, which would give him a very high chance of completely suppressing the whistleblower's claims.
However, that person wasn't powerful enough to control everything, and there weren't many of their people in the capital, so Yu Jiu and Xu Zi arrived in the capital smoothly.
Without even taking a break, the two of them went straight to the person in charge of this matter. Through layers of introductions, they personally handed the evidence directly to the top leader. Everything went incredibly smoothly.
"I understand. Thank you for your contribution. You can go back now. We will protect you and the evidence."
The top leader even gave Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang a military salute, and then the two were escorted back from the capital.
When the two returned to the team, the dog rushed over excitedly.
"Captain, Yu Zhiqing, where have you been? Why have you been gone for so long! Didn't you say you were only going to play for two or three days? You've really gone crazy, you don't even want me anymore, ugh, the company commander, do you?!"
And they didn't even bother to call back and let us know they were safe. If I didn't trust Xu Zijiang's fighting skills, I would have called the police if the two of them hadn't come back soon.
"There was a minor mishap, so keep it down."
Xu Zi kicked him. It was the same old captain, the same old kick. Gouzi was relieved.
"I'm glad you're all alright."
Yu Jiu smiled but said nothing.
The experience felt like a dream. Back in the team, everything returned to normal, calm and uneventful, as if nothing had happened. Days passed by, and soon it was time for Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu to get married.
Xu Zijiang didn't sleep all night, and stayed awake until dawn. As soon as the rooster crowed, he immediately perked up and sat up with a jolt.
"I'm getting married! Finally!!!!"
We can consummate our marriage tonight!!!
That little outfit was arranged immediately!!!
