In the classroom, the teacher on the podium was speaking passionately, and the students below were listening carefully to the knowledge points the teacher was teaching and taking notes, not daring to delay for a moment and not daring to miss any knowledge points.
Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded like the roar of a giant beast, and the classroom became quiet in an instant. After waiting for a few seconds, the teachers and students walked outside and lay on the balcony to see what had happened.
Judging from the sound, it should not be very close to the school. Shen Anning looked from afar and only saw the flames rising into the sky. The blazing flames could be seen clearly in the daytime, rolling, as if to swallow the whole world.
Wu Siqi was so frightened that she covered her heart and asked in a trembling voice, "What happened? Was it an explosion?"
"It was an explosion."
The corridor of the teaching building was full of people, making a lot of noise. The teacher could no longer control the situation. Fortunately, the class was about to end in a few minutes. Shen Anning watched as Vice President Wang of the PLA General Hospital, who was teaching them, picked up the textbook and hurried to the office. He was probably going to make a phone call to inquire about the situation.
The casualties from the explosion are unknown, and it is not known how many houses there are in the area.
The explosion caused a lot of discussion among the people in the whole city. Before they knew the details of the incident, there were fewer people on the streets.
On Saturday night, Cao Jingheng, who had been busy for several days, finally had time to have dinner with Shen Anning.
In the smallest private room of the private restaurant, Shen Anning felt distressed when he saw the man wolfing down his food. He poured him a bowl of soup and said, "Eat slowly and talk to me. How is the investigation of this case going?"
Cao Jingheng has been really busy these days. He is in charge of criminal investigation. He has just settled down for two years and such a big thing happened. The police station is under a lot of pressure. He hasn't shaved, washed his hair, or even had time to change his clothes. He looks very haggard.
"There weren't many casualties, only one body was found at the scene, but the damage was immense. There's an abandoned air-raid shelter over there, and few people go there year-round. I guess food smugglers stored their supplies there, and when they set fire to it, it caused a dust explosion, and the entire ground there collapsed."
A battalion of troops from nearby arrived and worked for two days to clean up the scene. Judging from the traces left at the scene, there were at least tons of white flour and rice, as well as a lot of controlled tobacco and alcohol. It is not possible for ordinary smugglers to smuggle so many things, and maybe the people above them are involved. Police Chief Fang Zhigang has been very worried these days.
Shen Anning knew more than he could say, "Are you still going tomorrow?"
After swallowing the soup in his mouth, Cao Jingheng shook his head. "I'll take a day off tomorrow. I haven't slept a full night these past few days. The investigation results are coming out soon. The rest of the matter is not something I can interfere with. Let the director worry about it."
"Okay, then after we finish eating, go to the bathhouse and take a good bath. Tomorrow we'll have some rest and I'll come home to cook for you. By the way, when will grandpa and grandma come back? They've been in the Northeast for almost half a month."
Grandma Cao's great-niece Wang Wenjia was admitted to the Literature Department of the Normal University the year the college entrance examination was resumed. She brought her husband and children with her when she came to school. The Wang family also has a house in Beijing, and with the help of the Cao family, the family lives a comfortable life.
However, during the holiday before the New Year, Lin Erjun (Wang Wenjia's husband) received a letter from home saying that his parents were dying and asked him to take his wife and children back.
When he returned, he found out that his parents were lying. They insisted that Lin Erjun and Wang Wenjia give them 5,000 yuan, otherwise they would make trouble at school. The old lady Lin had been unhappy about the division of the family.
In addition, her second son later went to Beijing to study with his wife and did not return home for two years. It was at that time that she learned about Wang Wenjia's family background. After discussing with her eldest son, she decided that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Wang Wenjia is the only one left in the Wang family, so wouldn't all the family property belong to her? Since she had abducted her youngest son, she would have to cut off a piece of her flesh.
There was a big fight at home, and Wang Wenjia didn't know that she was two months pregnant. She almost had a miscarriage because of this incident. She was lying in the county hospital to protect the fetus, and she didn't come back even after more than half a month of school starting.
"I guess she will be back soon. When my cousin is better and can take a car, she will definitely come back. This time we have severed ties with that family." Cao Jingheng thought the Lin family was really stupid. Wang Wenjia was not a person with a weird temper. After all, Lin Erjun was the second son of the Lin family. If the Lin family did not make trouble and lived their own lives well, they would receive the filial piety they deserved and the pension money would not be less, but would only be more.
Moreover, Wang Wenjia has been studying in Beijing with her husband and children for the past two years, and she has sent 15 yuan home every month as a token of filial piety. Fifteen yuan a month, that’s 180 yuan for twelve months a year, which is almost half a year’s salary for an ordinary worker!
Old Lady Lin is a typical example of greed. For the sake of her eldest son, she is determined to destroy the last bit of blood relationship between her and her youngest son.
After waking up from the smell, Cao Jingheng did not go home, but went directly to a nearby bathhouse. Seeing Shen Anning sitting in the driver's seat, he was a little worried.
"Really? Or I can just drive and go back to get some clothes first."
Ana Shen hummed, "You have to believe that your wife understands. I can drive, but you have to remember to get me a driver's license."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Cao Jingheng's reaction, Shen Anning stepped on the accelerator. Seeing that the car was running smoothly, Cao Jingheng entered the bathhouse with peace of mind.
Shen Anning had the key to the Cao family's front door a long time ago.
Cao Jingheng's room had not been occupied for a few days, so there was not much dust. When he opened the wardrobe door, he saw his shirts and jackets hanging neatly.
She helped the man pick out a set of autumn clothes and trousers, and saw his big shorts, which were loose, and she sighed. She had not thought of this before, and directly took out a few pairs of the later ones from the space and put them in the cabinet. Last time, she learned from the female boss who sold underwear that this improved version of underwear already existed in the market, and with the cheating tool of space, the underwear would dry quickly after washing.
He asked the bathhouse staff to bring the clothes in, and waited in the car for another twenty minutes. When Cao Jingheng walked out of the bathhouse, the water on his hair was not dry yet. He had his coat draped over one arm and was holding a bag of dirty clothes. He casually wiped his hair with one hand. It was really charming for a tall, long-legged, and handsome man to do this. The aunties standing at the door chatting couldn't help but look at him again and again.
Shen Anning looked at the man walking towards her against the light, and there were only four words left in her mind - heartbeat!
