Looking at all these bottles and jars, Xu Zexi, despite his great strength, was a little worried, but he couldn't bear to give them up, fearing he would regret it after joining the army.
Then, when the Chen family brought a bunch of food and clothes for Xu Zexi to take to Chen Guoqing, Xu Zexi's face turned a little chapped.
Then Xu Laosan and Mu Jingshu also brought over a bunch of food. Xu Zexi wondered if these two little ones would hold a grudge against him for the rest of their lives if he hurt their kindness.
Xu Laosan mainly prepared wild persimmons and wild chestnuts from the mountain, while Mu Jingshu prepared her favorite chocolates and candies, which were her last treasures. She wouldn't have taken them out if Xu Zexi hadn't had to go back to the army.
Seeing her brother so conflicted, Xu Xinning decided to send him to the provincial capital tomorrow.
Grandma Xu also prepared a copy for Xu Mingyang, asking Xu Xinning to take it to the county town tomorrow and mail it to him.
When children are away from home, the elderly mother at home will always worry about them, especially if there's something good to eat.
Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng had arranged to meet in the space that evening. As soon as Mu Jingshu fell asleep, Xu Xinning entered the space, but she waited and waited and waited but Mu Jingheng did not appear. She felt a little uneasy for some reason, as if something was going to happen.
The person Mu Jingheng and his team were closely monitoring had slipped away. This person was quite cunning and had used a double to deceive Mu Jingheng and his team's surveillance. By the time they discovered it, the person had already been on the run for more than two hours.
Mu Jingheng led his men to surround his house, only to find that even his wife and children were missing.
Mu Jingheng found it strange and couldn't understand how they escaped under such strict surveillance. After searching their house, he discovered that there was a hidden door in their well wall.
Mu Jingheng had lived two lives. In his previous life, it took him more than twenty years to bring this person to justice, but even then, he hadn't discovered this hidden door.
Mu Jingheng led his men through the hidden door into the secret passage, never expecting it to contain such a hidden world.
It's more like a basement than a secret passage.
Inside, there were not only beds, but also piles of grain, as well as boxes of jewelry, antiques, and calligraphy and paintings. However, no gold was seen. It is estimated that they left in a hurry and could not take all of these things with them, so they only took the gold that was easy to use.
Another possibility is that he thought this place was secluded and that Mu Jingheng and the others would never find it, so he planned to come back and take it later when he had the chance.
Honestly, Mu Jingheng and his team discovered the hidden door by accident. If it weren't for a colleague accidentally touching a flame that nearly set the man's house on fire, and him frantically trying to fetch water but failing (the well was pumped), he would have lifted the well cover in a fit of anger, and then some kind of incredible luck would have led him to discover the hidden door.
The secret passage was very long, leading all the way to a scrap metal recycling station in the suburbs. The exit was at the back door of the recycling station.
This discovery made Mu Jingheng frown.
He believed that this exit was not placed here for no reason, unless there was someone he trusted very much there.
If it weren't for this secret passage, no one would have imagined that a high-ranking official would have any connection with this inconspicuous scrap metal recycling station.
Mu Jingheng left a group of people to interrogate everyone in the purchasing station, while he led his men to chase after the escapees.
Fortunately, there weren't many vehicles on the road these days, making it easy to check. By the time Mu Jingheng caught up with the car, the people were already gone. According to the driver, the family got off at the dock.
Mu Jingheng then went to the dock.
And so, Mu Jingheng followed the person all the way to the south.
At that time, many people from the south were illegally crossing the border into the port city.
Hong Kong is much more developed than the mainland. Many people have heard from those who have been there that there is gold everywhere, and compared to the fact that they can't even get enough to eat here, they get adventurous.
Some people went and made money, then secretly returned. After one trip, their families were set for life for several years. Others went and never came back. Some said they were blinded by the glitz and glamour of the place and refused to return, while others said they died on the road and never came back.
Despite this, people take the risk every day.
Many people in the fishing villages to the south are secretly engaged in the business of smuggling people across borders. Over time, this has developed into an industry chain for safety reasons.
Mu Jingheng has memories of his past life.
After his family suffered a misfortune in his previous life, Grandpa Jiang arranged for him to handle illegal immigration in the south in order to help him. It was a tough job, and he could lose his life if he did it wrong, but if he did it well, it would be a stepping stone.
For the fishing village, smuggling is their biggest source of income and the foundation of their livelihood. Mu Jingheng's attempt to crack down on this business is tantamount to cutting off their lifeline, something they would risk their lives to protect.
Mu Jingheng remembered that he almost died here.
Returning here after a lifetime, Mu Jingheng felt an indescribable mix of emotions, a familiar feeling that made it hard to breathe.
Mu Jingheng knew that the man would have to bribe the smuggler if he wanted to bring his family across the border.
Mu Jingheng remembered Kuang Guangzhi, his savior from his previous life. Kuang Guangzhi was also a smuggler, but he offended another smuggler by fighting over a dock. That person was very vicious and killed his parents and kidnapped his two younger sisters and his newlywed wife while Kuang Guangzhi was away. When he went to find him, he heard that the smuggler had taken his men and his two sisters and wife to Hong Kong.
When Kwong Kwong-chi caught up with them in Hong Kong, he heard that the smuggler had sold his sister and lover to the red-light district.
Kuang Guangzhi searched for several months before finally finding them, but unfortunately they were all dead. It was said that the three of them committed suicide on the very day they were sold to the red-light district.
From then on, Kuang Guangzhi was all alone and couldn't get over it for a long time until he saved Mu Jingheng.
Mu Jingheng told him about his family situation, and the two were in the same boat. With Kuang Guangzhi's help, Mu Jingheng successfully completed his mission. When Mu Jingheng was leaving, he wanted to take Kuang Guangzhi with him, but Kuang Guangzhi disagreed, saying that he wanted to stay in this homeland to protect his family.
Later, Kuang Guangzhi also helped punish Xu Daya.
At this point, Kwong Kwong-chi should have just started out as a human trafficker.
Mu Jingheng didn't know if the fugitive's family would go to Kuang Guangzhi, but Mu Jingheng didn't want the tragedy of his previous life to happen to Kuang Guangzhi again. He had to go to him and help him, which could be considered as repaying the favor he owed him in his previous life.
Kuang Guangzhi's family lived by the sea. When Mu Jingheng went there, he didn't bring anyone with him. Instead, he sent everyone out to look for information about the fugitive.
Mu Jingheng was quite lucky; when he arrived, he saw Kuang Guangzhi repairing a fishing boat.
At this time, Kuang Guangzhi was full of vigor. He was tall, with bronze skin, a buzz cut, wearing a sailor shirt, and slippers made of wood and netting. He had a cigarette in his mouth and was incredibly handsome. Even Mu Jingheng, who was astoundingly good-looking as himself, was captivated by his good looks.
