"Okay!"
Upon hearing this, Li Liqiang was overjoyed.
This isn't drinking water! This is clearly drinking divine nectar!
If this chronic ailment can be cured, he'd be willing to drink it like water or even eat it like food!
Seeing his old comrade's bewildered expression, Chu Zhenyuan couldn't help but chuckle and asked, "So, Lao Li? Are you convinced of Niannian's medical skills now?"
"I'm convinced! I'm completely convinced!"
Li Liqiang said to Chu Zhenyuan with deep emotion, "Old Chu, you have no idea, after those few needles, I felt like my brain was completely reborn!"
"Now that I've drunk this 'miracle water' again, I feel more than ten years younger! I'm full of energy!"
"That's good~"
Night was falling.
After washing up, Ye Nian'an returned to her room.
Chu Yan was leaning against the headboard, looking at a military map in the dim light.
He watched intently, his brows slightly furrowed, his handsome profile outlined with a resolute contour under the light.
The steely resolve and composure emanating from him, a quality inherent in soldiers, gave her a sense of peace.
"What are you looking at?"
Ye Nian'an walked over, wrapped her arms around his neck from behind, and pressed her cheek against his back.
Chu Yan put down the map, turned around and pulled her into his arms, letting her sit on his lap. He rested his chin on the top of her head, inhaling the pleasant fragrance of her hair.
"Thinking about something."
He paused, his voice tinged with apology: "I'm sorry you've had to suffer these past few days."
"What do I have to feel wronged about?"
Ye Nian'an snuggled against him, looked up at him, and a sly glint in her eyes: "The ones who should feel wronged are those blind fools."
Chu Yan smiled slightly: "Yes, whoever offended our Niannian is truly courting death."
"Brother Yan."
Ye Nian'an rolled her eyes and leaned close to his ear mysteriously, "Can I talk to you about something?"
"Okay, go ahead."
"Will you come with me somewhere tomorrow?"
Where to?
"I want to visit the homes of those corrupt officials who were arrested or escaped in the military dependents' compound... where they used to live."
As Ye Nian'an said this, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
She'd wanted to do this for a long time.
These bastards not only caused the Chu family to be dismissed and demoted, but also made them endure those difficult years.
He also caused huge losses to national assets, making him an outright traitor!
Chu Yan was taken aback, somewhat puzzled: "What are you going there for? The comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission have already searched it. It's a mess inside, there's nothing to see."
"That's not necessarily true."
Ye Nian'an shook her finger, her voice carrying a hint of certainty.
"Our disciplinary officials are capable, but they mostly search for things that are obvious. But corrupt officials are best at hiding things."
"What hidden compartments, secret rooms, cellars... their methods of hiding money are more sophisticated than rats digging holes. I don't believe they can move all their ill-gotten gains away."
"Moreover, I've also heard from Sister Zhang that many people in the army say that Wang Jianguo used to be very close to those corrupt officials, but they've never been able to find any substantial evidence."
Although Zhou Jianjun's future was ruined and he was transferred away from the 74th Division.
However, aside from being unable to advance further, Wang Jianguo remained the political commissar of the 74th Division.
It's really hard to feel at ease to have such a ticking time bomb in control of the highest position in the military region!
"Who knows, maybe we'll find something unexpected if we take a trip?"
The word "harvest" she used was quite meaningful.
Who is Chu Yan?
He instantly understood his wife's little scheme.
While others are investigating a case, his daughter is clearly... going on a "treasure hunt"!
"good."
Chu Yan nodded without hesitation, put his big hand around her waist, and pulled her closer to him, his voice deep and doting.
"Wherever you want to go, I'll go with you."
"My Commander Chu is truly wise and mighty!"
Ye Nian'an beamed and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
"Then it's settled! Let's get started tomorrow!"
...
The next day.
Chu Yan first took Ye Nian'an to several family buildings in the military dependents' compound that had been sealed off.
The seal on the door was temporarily removed, and a musty, dusty smell wafted out.
The house had been ransacked, the furniture was overturned, there were signs of knocking and probing on the walls, and even the gaps in the floor tiles showed signs of being pried open.
"It seems that the comrades in the discipline inspection department have done a very meticulous job."
Chu Yan looked around and said in a deep voice.
Ye Nian'an didn't speak. She closed her eyes, stood quietly in the center of the living room, and used her spatial power to carefully scan every corner of the room.
No.
Ye Nian'an could only pretend to accompany Chu Yan on the search, but returned empty-handed.
Next, they went to two other companies.
The result was exactly the same.
The troops conducted an extremely thorough search, turning over almost every possible hiding place.
Ye Nian'an's spatial perception also confirmed this; apart from some useless clutter, there were no other "surprises" in these houses.
"It seems these old foxes don't really care about their real assets."
Ye Nian'an patted off imaginary dust from her hands, and instead of being discouraged, the light in her eyes shone even brighter.
The cleaner the military dependents' compound is, the more it proves that the mansion, which was secretly bought by these parasites dozens of kilometers away, is the real "treasure trove".
"A cunning rabbit has three burrows."
Chu Yan understood her thoughts and replied, "A residence in a military dependents' compound is too conspicuous and is actually the most unsafe place."
That's exactly right!
Ye Nian'an clapped his hands: "Come on, Brother Yan! Let's go take a look at the real 'rabbit den'!"
A military green jeep traveled for more than an hour on a bumpy dirt road before finally stopping in Huizhai Town, dozens of kilometers away, in front of a two-story building with gray bricks and blue tiles and an independent courtyard.
On the main gate of the small building, two white seals were also affixed in a crisscross pattern, stamped with a bright red official seal, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding simple houses.
This is the hideout of Sun Dahai, the deputy director of the logistics department who absconded with the funds, who used it to keep his mistress and transfer assets.
Chu Yan, dressed in a crisp military uniform with a stern face, got out of the car and walked straight to the door, where he showed the two local police officers guarding the door the division headquarters documents and the letter of assistance for investigation that he had prepared in advance.
"Comrade, we are here on orders to re-examine the scene and look for any important evidence that may have been missed."
After the police officers checked the documents and confirmed that everything was correct, they immediately saluted respectfully.
"Please, sir!"
They deftly tore off the seal and opened the long-sealed door.
"You all stay outside and guard the area; no one is allowed to approach."
Chu Yan commanded in a deep voice.
"yes!"
