Jiang Qiao, with her angelic face and ability to liven up the atmosphere, along with her amiable demeanor, managed to lighten the tense mood.
After the initial self-introductions, under Jiang Qiao's guidance, everyone spoke their minds, and Jiang Qiao naturally steered the conversation towards Feng Lan.
Before she knew it, she had learned almost everything she needed to know.
To be honest, Feng Lan wasn't a little kid at first. She would be bullied by boys and even cry. But she had several brothers who protected her. If those brothers were to raise their fists, most people really couldn't withstand it. Most importantly, Feng Lan's mother was quite a handful.
Bullying their children is definitely not allowed. If that old woman starts throwing a tantrum, she can absolutely disrupt the peace of their family.
Because of these two powerful backers, Feng Lan is definitely a special person among these children.
Jiang Qiao changed the subject and started talking about Feng Lan's relatives.
"Is it really that bad? If they do this, don't their parents do anything about it? It's never a good thing for other people's kids to be beaten. If this goes on for a long time, won't your parents have any objections? Let alone you."
The young men all scratched the back of their heads in embarrassment.
"Well, Feng Lan's family isn't stingy. When we go to their house, we always get a good meal. Especially her stepfather, he's so good to us. He tells us to take good care of Feng Lan. After a while, we'll feel indebted to them—"
They were too embarrassed to say anything more. They were obligated to help others, and over time, things have turned out this way.
"As for Feng Lan's brother, those who were supposed to get married are all married. There's one who's still single, but he has a girlfriend who's quite pretty. I heard she's a former educated youth from the neighborhood—"
Jiang Qiao waved her hand. "Wait a minute, what do you mean? Feng Lan's brother found a girlfriend from the city? Where is she?"
It's no wonder Jiang Qiao is sensitive about women; Milan from back then left a deep impression on her. She doesn't know how many people that old woman had trained, how many had been arrested, or how many were still missing. To be honest, she really didn't know.
The interrogations of those people were mostly straightforward, getting straight to the point and getting what she wanted. The rest was handled by Song Shutian and his group. She would have to ask them about this later.
Of course, Jiang Qiao didn't forget to ask them how they got rid of Zhao Anbang.
The young people got excited again when this was mentioned.
"Comrade Jiang Qiao, you can't wrong us. That old man surnamed Zhao is no good. We shouldn't be soft-hearted towards people like him."
Jiang Qiao's past actions still have some impact on these people's minds, but some of the bolder ones still said it out loud.
"Soft-hearted?"
Jiang Qiao glanced at the other person sideways and said, "Where did you see that I was soft-hearted? I've never been soft-hearted when it comes to enemies."
I've already explained this before. I'll just ask you one question: do you have any evidence to prove that Zhao Anbang is a bad person?
The young man who asked the question didn't dare to look Jiang Qiao in the eye and muttered, "Everyone says so, he's the most suspicious."
Jiang Qiao snorted, "You know what suspicion is? What is suspicion? It's just a suspect, it doesn't mean he's a bad person."
How many suspects have been proven innocent in the end? Who are you to draw such a conclusion without any investigation?
Furthermore, I just don't understand how you managed to get Zhao Anbang out in the first place. As far as I know, there should have been someone guarding him, right?
The young man muttered, "When we went there, we didn't see any guards."
Jiang Qiao looked at the other person in disbelief, her eyes full of surprise. "No guards? How is that possible? Weren't you a suspect?"
The other party shook their head. "We don't know the specifics either. When Feng Lan took us there, she said everything was fine. Anyway, in the end, we took the person away with us."
Jiang Qiao nodded, still looking puzzled. "Then I don't understand. Since you took them away, why are you asking for them here? Not only do you refuse to give them to us, but you've also hidden them away?"
"Feng Lan said that Zhao Anbang's accomplices are among them, so we can't hand them over; we have to catch all his accomplices in one fell swoop."
Jiang Qiao sneered, "You guys really dare to think and do things. Do you even know who you are? You have no right to do these things, understand? Alright, sit down, someone will arrange where you'll go in a bit."
Everyone sitting there was dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed at Jiang Qiao. "Huh? You're going to punish us?"
Jiang Qiao rolled her eyes at these people. "With your behavior, to put it nicely, you've been deceived by bad people; to put it bluntly, you're accomplices of bad people. Do you think the consequences are serious?"
I think you guys are just too idle. Go back to the farm and work. Do you know what it means to sweat and toil for every grain of rice?
If you don't experience it and understand it, you'll stay on the farm. If you dare to cause trouble again, see how I deal with you.
So don't force me to take action. If I do, it'll be as cold as dealing with an enemy. If you don't want to experience being beaten into a state where you can't live or take care of yourself, then you'd better get back to work.
Turning around, Jiang Qiao went out and said to Zhang Dalei, who was smoking outside, "Send these guys to the farm. It's almost harvest time, let them all work so they don't cause trouble."
Also, Feng Lan's brother has a girlfriend who is a sent-down youth working on a farm. Someone should check that.
Remember Milan? Have all the people trained by Third Uncle back then, like her, been caught yet?
Speaking of this, Zhang Dalei really knew: "According to Bai Qingping's confession, back then, the people that Third Uncle trained, besides those they used themselves, also gave a few to Lone Wolf. So, we only caught two of those people from Lone Wolf's side. There are three others whose whereabouts are still unknown. You suspect that the woman might have been trained by Third Uncle?"
Jiang Qiao nodded. "I only have a suspicion. It's better this way. If there really is a problem, we can gain the upper hand."
"Will the farm be able to accept these people?"
Zhang Dalei grinned and said, "What problem could there be? Having someone help with the autumn harvest is a rare and wonderful thing. I'll go and send someone to issue a notice so that these young people can go down and support the construction of our farm."
"Old Zhao, you keep watch over things here until our section chief returns."
Jiang Qiao waved her hand. "Go, go. And spread the word that the item is in my hands. Let's see what kind of ghost is hiding in the shadows."
