The jeep drove through the military camp and drove straight to the Soviet-style building and stopped.
At this moment, Su Jin was already like a wilted eggplant, completely listless.
As she got out of the car, Su Ruyi suddenly said, "Wait a minute, this outfit was lent to him by my fourth brother."
She pointed to the clothes on Su Jin's body.
Without saying a word, Xiao Zhao pulled the rope off his hands: "Take it off yourself."
Looking at the people coming and going, Su Jin took off his shirt and pants without hesitation.
Su Ruyi continued, "The vest also belongs to my fourth brother."
Sujin took off his vest again.
Su Ruyi: "Shoes and socks too."
Sujin took off his shoes and socks.
Xiao Zhao found a net bag, put all his belongings inside, and then put it back in the trunk of the car.
Now, Su Jin was left with only his underwear.
People coming and going all had their eyes on him.
Su Jin looked at Su Ruyi, crossed his arms, and whispered, "Sixth Sister! Sixth Sister, save me! Please!"
Su Ruyi didn't even look at him.
Su Jin gritted his teeth and knelt down before Su Ruyi: "Sixth Sister! For the sake of..."
He thought for a long time, but couldn't think of anything he had ever done in his life that he could use to plead for Su Ruyi. In the end, he could only say, "For the sake of us being born of the same mother!"
After saying that, he kowtowed repeatedly.
Su Ruyi moved away: "How could I possibly save you? I'm just a jinx."
Su Jin shut his mouth, his face looking ashen as if he had eaten shit.
Xiao Zhao picked up the rope and made a gesture. Su Jin immediately put his hands behind his back and told him to tie them up again.
Xiao Zhao picked him up.
General Shen Guoliang had already come out to greet them personally.
Seeing this, he asked seriously, "What happened? Who is this?"
He pointed at Sujin.
Xiao Zhao replied, "As soon as I arrived at Dingjiatun, I saw this comrade kicking the Peace Kick."
Shen Guoliang's face immediately turned green: "What did you say?!"
Xiao Zhao repeated clearly: "As soon as I arrived in Dingjiatun, I saw this educated youth named Su Jin kicking Heping's stomach hard."
Shen Guoliang chuckled and said, "Su Jin? Not bad, quite strong! In that case, why don't you do some manual labor? Xiao Zhao, you decide what to do!"
"Yes, General!" Xiao Zhao replied crisply, then took Su Jin's hand and led him away.
Shen Guoliang led Su Ruyi and Shen Heping into the living room with a smile.
This time was different from the last; the coffee table in the living room was covered with dried fruit, candy, and cookies.
Guard Xiao Fang brewed tea for the group.
Shen Guoliang sat on the mahogany sofa, his expression almost devoid of any signs of illness.
But Su Ruyi could tell that he was putting on a brave face, so she said, "General Shen, before you are fully recovered, it is best not to be exposed to the wind or do too much physical activity."
Shen Guoliang nodded: "I know, I just can't stand lying down!"
Su Ruyi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "General Shen, has the person who poisoned us been caught?"
Shen Guoliang nodded: "He was a Japanese spy. The body has already been donated to the Tieshi People's Hospital for autopsy."
Shen Heping exclaimed in surprise, "Second Uncle, you're not sick, you've been poisoned?"
Shen Guoliang gave Shen Heping a deep look: "You brat! Your dad said you came to the countryside for a female educated youth, could it be Su, the educated youth?"
Shen Heping was about to speak when Shen Guoliang waved his hand, interrupting him: "If it weren't for this Dr. Su, you must be blind!"
Su Ruyi: This way of praising someone is quite novel.
“But what if it’s for Dr. Su?” Shen Guoliang added, “I advise you to give up—you’re simply not good enough for her!”
Shen Heping's face flushed red: "I know I'm not good enough for Su Zhiqing right now, but I will try my best! Second Uncle, you can't keep judging people by their appearance!"
"No matter how hard you try, can a bicycle outrun a jeep?"
Shen Guoliang scoffed, "Alright, since you, a toad, insist on trying to eat swan meat, then I can only wish you good luck! Stay for lunch, and now go stand aside and don't get in my way!"
After saying that, he smiled at Su Ruyi and said, "Dr. Su, please!"
Su Ruyi followed him and the guard Xiao Fang into the bedroom, washed her hands, and began administering acupuncture.
Guard Xiao Fang consciously turned around and faced the wall.
A dozen minutes later, all seven needles were administered.
Black blood reappeared at Shen Que's ancestral bone, but less than before.
Shen Guoliang's face was now glowing with health.
He led Su Ruyi to the dining table, and Jiang Chunlai did indeed cook as promised.
On the huge rotating dining table, there were ten dishes and one soup, with the staple food being exquisite gold and silver steamed buns with condensed milk.
They're served in bite-sized portions and arranged on a plate in the shape of a honeycomb, making them very appealing.
Shen Guoliang explained that this is how people from Saudi Arabia eat; they combine Chinese and Western styles.
Su Ruyi tasted it and found it to be very sweet.
She focused on this dish during the meal.
—There's nothing I can do, all the other dishes are too sweet, I just can't eat them.
It seems that Jin Dachun's evaluation of Jiang Chunlai's cooking skills is quite accurate!
Shen Heping wasn't picky about food. Even though Shen Guoliang had arranged for him to be in the place furthest away from Su Ruyi, he didn't give up. He kept walking back and forth, crossing most of the table to pick up food for her, until Shen Guoliang gently slapped him, at which point he stopped.
After the meal, it was time for another lavish gift-giving session.
Su Ruyi couldn't refuse, and Xiao Fang filled the trunk to the brim again—fruit, cigarettes and alcohol, fabrics, ready-made clothes, leather shoes, work safety supplies, and even Su Ruyi's favorite steamed buns were packed into four large lunch boxes, along with four large cans of condensed milk.
Furthermore, everything was in duplicate, one for Shen Heping and one for Su Ruyi.
Xiao Zhao, who took Su Jin away, did not return until Su Ruyi left.
Su Ruyi couldn't help but ask Shen Heping, "Where are they taking Su Jin?"
Shen Heping smiled at her: "If you want to plead for him, you can still stop him now."
"Stop keeping me in suspense!" Su Ruyi couldn't help but laugh. "I won't plead for you, but Fourth Brother will definitely ask."
"He should have been sent to the newly discovered coal mine on the outskirts of Tieshi."
Shen Heping said seriously, "But this is just my guess. The prisoners were the ones who led the way, and they dug out the mining face one by one. Anyway, you probably won't see him again in this lifetime."
The jeep took the two back to the educated youth compound, and Xiao Fang got out of the car to help Su Ruyi carry her things.
As soon as Su Ruyi stepped into the front yard, she noticed something was wrong—the padlock on her door had been broken and was lying on the ground, while the door was ajar.
There were some rustling sounds coming from inside.
Su Ruyi stopped Shen Heping, who was about to rush forward: "Step back."
Then, she kicked the door open and saw a strange girl inside. She turned around.
