"Old Wang, it's not that they won't release Feng Lan, it's that Feng Lan broke the law. Do you understand what breaking the law means? The organization did talk to Feng Lan back then, but what did she do then?"
Absolutely not handing over the person. What kind of situation is this? This is illegal hostage-taking. So, you should go back. It's not that I don't want to help, but you heard what Comrade Song said.
"I'm Feng Lan's godfather, you know. That girl didn't give me any face back then, so I'll leave this matter to the organization."
Wang Benshan bowed to Zhao Anbang and said, "Comrade Zhao, no matter what, it's all my child's fault. I apologize on behalf of my child. This trip will give me an explanation. I'm sorry to have bothered you. I'll go back now."
Seeing that Wang Benshan was about to leave, Secretary Tian Zhenghe felt embarrassed to stay any longer, since he was the one who brought him here and was responsible for taking him back.
He cupped his hands in apology to Zhao Anbang, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I really couldn't stand being pestered by their whole family. I'll talk to them when I get to work, I'll be going now—"
After watching the two people leave, Jiang Qiao and the other two moved on to Song Shutian's house.
"Heh, they're really daring, even thinking of releasing him. This man is interesting."
Cao Mingyuan snorted, "Interesting? This guy glanced at our yard several times before leaving. Could he be plotting something?"
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "He probably doesn't have the guts. Are those guards just sitting around doing nothing? If they were to make a move, they would do it secretly. Let's just wait and see."
"By the way, Brother Zhang, this afternoon you need to quickly verify the time Ding Peng left each time, and contact Old Liu as soon as possible to see if it's him. If it really is him, arrest him immediately."
Song Shutian nodded, "I think it's a good idea. You all hurry up and get to work. Jiang Qiao, you prepare dinner. Remember, everyone come back for dinner tonight. Jiang Qiao, prepare a big meal."
Zhao Anbang spoke up from the side, "I'll invite the deputy and the secretary over for dinner later. At least we know these people. Girl, prepare carefully."
After Jiang Qiao and the others left, the father and son sat in the room and both shook their heads.
"What kind of situation is this? This person has no principles. You couldn't refuse, so you brought him here? I don't think someone like this is suitable to work here."
Zhao Anbang gave a wry smile. "Some things aren't as simple as you think. Although he's not a bad person, you can't touch him right now. This person isn't without any connections."
Song Shutian sighed, "Then I'll go get back to work. You can rest for now."
As she reached the kitchen door, she reminded Jiang Qiao, "Qiao'er, if you want to go out, it's best to wear formal attire to avoid any misunderstandings. Take all the clothes I gave you, okay?"
Jiang Qiao nodded. "I brought it, Brother Song. Remember to have someone check if Ding Peng really went back to his hometown for medical treatment. Be quick, because I'm afraid that if he stays here and rejoins those people, he might cause some trouble."
"I know that. Old Zhang will definitely investigate. Just be careful."
Jiang Qiao had prepared everything. Since there was still some time before cooking, she changed her clothes and strolled over to the base.
However, she didn't go inside. Instead, she started wandering around the base. It was surrounded by walls and guarded by people. It was unlikely that someone would climb in, since there were patrols around.
After going around once, she encountered two groups of patrol officers. Even though she was wearing a uniform, she still had to be checked. Only after Jiang Qiao showed her work ID did the officers realize what Jiang Qiao was there for.
"Comrade, may I ask if your patrol times are fixed?"
The other party shook his head. "That's not fixed. We'll send more people at any time. The timing is unpredictable, so outsiders can't track our operation schedule, which also makes it easier for us to ensure our safety."
Jiang Qiao asked again, "Are there any damaged sections of the surrounding walls, or has anyone been around here that wasn't one of the staff members?"
The other person shook their head. "Are the checks on people coming in and out strictly enforced here?"
"Strict, of course it's strict. If someone tries to smuggle in something they shouldn't, who will guarantee the safety of this place? You can rest assured about that."
Jiang Qiao nodded to them, "Thank you for your help. You can continue with your work."
After going around for a while, she really didn't find anything. Looking at the sky, she had no choice but to return empty-handed. She had to hurry back to cook.
As luck would have it, just as I arrived at the base's main gate, I saw Feng Biao being checked by the security guards. Clearly, he was preparing to go home.
Jiang Qiao walked over unconsciously and saw Feng Biao take out a lunchbox. She glanced at it and saw that it was mostly leftover soup and water, not anything good.
However, Jiang Qiao's attention was drawn to the lunchbox in his hand. It was rather large and seemed different from the ones sold outside. To her, it looked like something he had made himself.
The guards were puzzled. "Why do you change your lunchbox every few days? Are you taking all the leftovers from the cafeteria with you?"
Feng Biao smiled ingratiatingly, "No, it's nothing good. It's all soupy and watery, it's a waste to throw it away. At least it has some oil in it, so you can add it to your cooking at home and save some oil."
After the inspection was completed, Feng Biao looked up and noticed a woman standing next to him, and his face immediately darkened.
Although he had never officially met Jiang Qiao, this woman looked unfamiliar. Moreover, he had heard a lot about what Jiang Qiao, who was fighting with his sister, looked like. The woman in front of him looked a lot like the Jiang Qiao that others were talking about.
He scoffed at Jiang Qiao, "You're Jiang Qiao?"
Jiang Qiao raised an eyebrow. "What, do you have a problem with me or something?"
Feng Biao said viciously, "You arrested my sister, do you expect me to thank you?"
Jiang Qiao smiled faintly, "You're Feng Lan's brother? Logically speaking, you shouldn't have such low awareness. Don't you know what your sister did? I arrested her for a reason. No need for thanks, I'm just doing this to rid the world of a scourge."
Feng Biao was furious. "Why didn't you arrest those people who were with my sister? Why did you only arrest my Feng Lan? There were so many people making a scene. You should arrest them all. If you arrested them all, that would be a real achievement."
What did Feng Lan do? She didn't do anything excessive. Comrade Zhao's problem isn't something my sister can decide alone. The work team is here; what, can't everyone help the comrade who got into trouble vent their anger?
Jiang Qiao looked at Feng Biao with a smile, "And now?"
Feng Biao blinked, momentarily speechless. "Well, my sister didn't know the situation at the time. She was just full of enthusiasm. At most, she made a mistake. You can forgive other people, but why did you lock my sister up?"
You've handled things unfairly, and am I not even allowed to speak up for my sister?
