According to Wei Chengbao, Wang Ergou was implicated in a major case being investigated by the Provincial Public Security Bureau. He had now readily revealed many crucial clues, and the "big fish" was about to be caught. Even more interesting, he had originally had nothing to do with the case, but starting tomorrow he would be leading a team in the provincial police's arrest operation.
"This is all thanks to you," Wei Chengbao raised his glass towards Mu Huaixi and clinked it with Ying Mingcheng. "Besides, my sister-in-law sent someone to the hospital to fetch a doctor, and they happened to run into those idiots from the boiler factory making a scene. Hey, the captain of the boiler factory's security department was stunned. Our police were like gods sent down from heaven, they controlled the situation in no time. Otherwise, who knows how much more trouble would have been caused."
Mu Huaixi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She hadn't expected him to blame her for this, but being able to accidentally prevent a bloody fight was a blessing. She had just remembered in the bathhouse that in her past life, there had indeed been a fight at the boiler factory. The two sides fought from the factory to the hospital, accidentally injuring many passers-by and doctors, and causing dozens of casualties. The daughter of Zhang Hongwei's mother's colleague had just started working as a nurse at the county hospital when she was stabbed in the face. She survived, but her face was destroyed.
She still remembered that her ex-mother-in-law sighed and said that it would be better for a woman to die if her face was ruined after visiting the little girl in the hospital.
Wei Chengbao said that thanks to the timely intervention of the county police, only a few people from the boiler factory were injured, which was a blessing in disguise.
"If someone dies, we won't have a good New Year," Wei Chengbao raised his glass to her again. What he didn't say explicitly was that the county boiler factory was wealthy and the security department was well-equipped with strong backing. Whenever they dealt with the police, they were always arrogant, but today they were embarrassed in front of them, and their future work would surely be better.
The more Wei Chengbao thought about it, the better it tasted. He raised his glass to the two people in front of him and said, "I wish you a happy marriage and a son soon, big brother and big sister!"
There were no lights on the road leading out of the shop. Ying Mingcheng took the flashlight that Wei Chengbao handed over and walked behind Mu Huaixi, illuminating her every step.
Mu Huaixi exhaled a breath of white air, looked up at the moonless sky, and felt the long-lost tranquility.
"Wei Chengbao, he's not a bad person." Ying Mingcheng looked at her figure, feeling restless inside and always wanting to say something.
Upon hearing this, Mu Huaixi turned his head and looked at him in surprise, meaning that Wei Chengbao used to be a soldier and is now a public security officer, so how could he be a bad guy?
"Haha," Ying Mingcheng inexplicably understood her look and explained, "He used to be more pure, but now that he's changed his career and position, he's become more thoughtful."
Mu Huaixi understood what he meant, nodded and shook her head. She didn't think Wei Chengbao was so eager. People in the world were just in a hurry for a few pieces of silver. Who didn't work hard for their family and themselves?
She glanced at Ying Mingcheng, realizing that it might be even harder for him to accept Wei Chengbao's change, so she quoted a quote from her grandfather: "A gentleman judges deeds, not hearts. Wei Chengbao does things that benefit the people, so he is a good man."
Ying Mingcheng stopped in his tracks for a moment. He was surprised at the little girl's cleverness, and somewhat delighted that they "understood each other". He felt that the last sip of sweet soup he drank had finally reached his lungs, washing away all the heat in his body.
Seeing that the "mobile lighting" behind her hadn't caught up, Mu Huaixi turned around in confusion and met the man's sharp gaze. She felt uncomfortable being stared at, so she casually changed the subject and asked, "The Wang Ergou we saw today is an accountant, right?"
"Hmm?" Ying Mingcheng strode forward and walked beside her, looking sideways at the somewhat complacent girl, "Why do you think so?"
"He has calluses on the tips of his five fingers on his right hand and his thumb and index finger on his left. He must be an expert at using an abacus."
Just as calluses will appear on the side of the middle finger of people who often hold a pen, thin calluses will also appear on the fingertips of people who often fiddle with abacus beads. Most people do not use their weak ring finger, but they often use it to fiddle with the abacus.
"Wang Ergou is thin and not particularly ruthless, but he holds many important clues. He must be a confidant who manages the flow of money," Mu Huaixi said her analysis slowly and looked at Ying Mingcheng expectantly. Since her rebirth, she felt that her five senses were sharp, and she could notice many small details that she had never noticed before. In the past, when her grandfather took her to see patients, the most important thing he taught her was to observe their words and expressions. After all, asking questions is the most difficult of the four methods. There are many things that cannot be asked, and even if asked, you will not get the real answer. You can only rely on "looking" to make up for it.
Mu Huaixi was confused before, but now she has tasted some of the flavor. However, she is not quite sure yet and is waiting for Ying Mingcheng's confirmation.
Ying Mingcheng smiled at her, but then he talked about something else, "Back then, my grandfather was surrounded and seriously injured. He disguised himself as a poor young master and went to the countryside to seek refuge with relatives who had been robbed. He went to your grandfather for treatment, and your grandfather saw through it at a glance."
Mu Huaixi had never heard her grandfather mention this past, so she stopped and listened to him carefully.
Ying Mingcheng also stopped slightly in front of her and continued with a smile, "My grandfather didn't realize he'd been exposed. He deliberately brought out all his past problems as a young master, complaining about the hard bed and the bitter medicine. Grandpa Mu didn't expose him, cured him, and helped him contact local comrades. Before he left, he said that my grandfather's acting was not good and he might never be able to perform on stage again in his lifetime."
"Pfft", Mu Huaixi never thought that her grandfather was so narrow-minded when he was young, and she couldn't help laughing. The grandfather in her memory was thin, upright, taciturn and stern, just like a silent bamboo.
Seeing her smile gradually fade, Ying Mingcheng knew that she was thinking of her grandfather, so he patted her shoulder gently, "Grandpa Mu boasted to my grandfather that your talent in medicine far surpasses his, and your future is limitless."
Mu Huaixi didn't expect to hear such words. She looked at Ying Mingcheng blankly. The latter's eyes were particularly bright in the dim light, and eagerness, admiration, and sincerity seemed to overflow from them.
She suddenly turned her face away and bit her lower lip hard to resist the heat welling up in her eyes. Her grandfather had never praised her explicitly, and before leaving, he only told her to live a peaceful life. She never thought that her grandfather was actually proud of her talent, nor did she think he had such expectations for her.
But what about her?
She wasted her whole life, entangled with that rotten man Zhang Hongwei, and forgot all her grandfather's teachings, causing the Mu family's medical skills to be cut off in her.
She regrets!
Mu Huaixi took a deep breath, and some thoughts in her mind became clear as if the truth had been revealed. She raised her head to meet Ying Mingcheng's worried gaze, shook her head gently, and took a step forward. "Let's go. We have to get up early tomorrow."
Time is so precious that we should not indulge in meaningless regrets and should not waste it in remorse!
