At six o'clock in the evening, Cao Jingheng picked up Shen Anning and sent her home. He didn't even bother to eat and drove back to the police station.
The two elders of the Cao family also knew about what happened on Guangrong Road today. They heard from Shen Anning that the injured policemen were sent to their hospital.
Grandpa Cao asked, "An Ning, how is the injured police officer doing? What's the police department's explanation?"
Grandma Cao also touched the Buddhist beads on her wrist. "Yeah, I heard Xiao Xu and the others talk about the huge pool of blood on Guangrong Road this afternoon. It was scary to see. Those thugs are really something. It's okay for them to do bad things, but how could they beat up the police? They hit them so hard. We were all born and raised by our parents. How sad must those police parents be!"
Shen Anning looked at her grandparents. Cao Jingheng's parents passed away early due to some accidents. She knew that the two old people felt the same way.
Shen Anning sat next to Grandma Cao, hugged her and said, "Grandma, the condition of Officer Ma who was beaten has stabilized now. He has survived the most difficult stage. My master personally stopped the bleeding for him. The best director of the surgical department performed the operation. Even if he recovers well, there may be sequelae. If that is the case, his physical condition will not be suitable for the job of a police officer. He will most likely be transferred to logistics or a civilian position."
"The others only suffered superficial wounds that will heal in a few days. The nurse who treated their wounds said that the gang even used a knife today. Fortunately, the police officers were not stabbed in vital areas."
Grandpa Cao looked at his granddaughter-in-law and told her his plan, "An Ning, our Cao family donates a sum of money to the army and the police every year. In the past, when your grandmother and I went to the countryside, someone donated that money on our behalf on a regular basis.
Later, Jingheng joined the army. Your grandmother and I worried about him all day and all night, terrified every day that he might get into an accident. Since we were wealthy, we thought we could accumulate some more blessings for him, so we increased the amount of our donations by another 20%. When he retired and joined the police station, we donated an additional amount specifically for police officers injured in the line of duty.
"The government will definitely reimburse the hospitalization and medical expenses, and Officer Ma will definitely benefit from the donation. However, there are many police officers injured in the line of duty across the country, so he won't get much of this money. It's a drop in the bucket. So tomorrow when you go to the hospital, please help Grandpa pass on a message to their family. Tell them that if Officer Ma's wife doesn't have a job, our Cao family will find her one, or we will cover their children's education expenses from now until they graduate from high school."
Shen Anning looked at the two old men. They really achieved the goal of helping the world when they are successful.
She didn’t know before that her grandparents didn’t forget to donate money even when they were sent down to the countryside. It shows how broad-minded they were to remain consistent in that situation.
"Grandpa and grandma, don't worry. When I go to the hospital tomorrow, I'll find Officer Ma's family and explain the situation and tell them the news."
With the state bonus and the help of the Cao family, Officer Ma and his family will definitely be able to get through this.
In the evening, Cao Jingheng didn't come back until ten o'clock. Shen Anning lay in bed, feeling that she had forgotten something. She had taken a nap in the hospital in the afternoon and was not feeling sleepy at the moment. She picked up the book on the bedside table and just opened it when she saw the words "Reform and Opening Up"...
"I thought, I must have forgotten something."
It's true that pregnancy makes people stupid for three years. Shen An Ning smiled self-deprecatingly, patted her head, and hurriedly got up and walked to the outer room. Her cousin should not be asleep at this time.
"Hello, this is Jingzhe Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. Who is this?"
"Xiaozhe, it's me."
Peng Zhe on the other end of the phone smiled when he heard the voice, his tone filled with deliberate surprise, "Hey, sister, what's wrong? It's so late, and you only just thought of caring about your dear brother? I'm really flattered today, I feel like I'm in a fairyland, it doesn't even feel real!"
I knew this guy was poor. Shen Anning sneered, "You, you, I knew you must not be asleep at this late hour. Work is important, but health is more important. Don't always stay up late. Remember to drink the tea bags I sent you every day. Also, you have been in Guangdong for almost three months this time, when will you come back?"
"Sister, do you miss me? Hi, you should have told me earlier. I will definitely go back before you give birth. I bought a lot of nice clothes for my nephew..."
Shen Anning smiled. When this guy spoke, she forgot why she called. "Hey, by the way, I have something serious to tell you. Guangdong is so chaotic. You must be careful. There are policies from above to crack down on criminal activities. Guangdong will not be peaceful for a long time from now on, especially you and your classmates. Those of you who are engaged in foreign trade are the most likely to be targeted. It is safest to come back as soon as possible."
Shen An Ning was really feeling uneasy. If she remembered correctly, it was this month that a pair of brothers who had committed a serious crime in the north fled to Guangzhou. For a long time, they roamed around the coastal area and did a lot of bad things. Later, the fishing boat they were hiding in was discovered by the navy during patrol.
Peng Zhe put down the documents in his hand and pinched his brows. His parents and brother couldn't even remember him, and he still had a sister! "Don't worry, sister, the first thing we did when we got here was to find his retired comrades according to the address my brother-in-law gave us. Now, from inside to outside our company, any position that requires martial arts skills is filled with powerful people, the kind that can beat five of me."
"Okay, I'm glad you know. My friend from Northeast China told me that there were two brothers in their hometown who killed someone and fled to Guangzhou. They're tough guys. When you go out, make sure you bring someone with you. Never go alone, and don't go to the beach."
Although he didn't know why his elder sister insisted not to go to the beach, Peng Zhe was an obedient person. "Okay, don't worry, sister. We usually go back and forth between the company and the factory. The house we bought is just a decoration and we haven't lived in it many times. You are pregnant, so don't think too much every day. I bought you some fish maw and bird's nest, remember to eat more..."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Anning looked at her watch. It was almost eleven o'clock. She wrote down the fact that the two brothers from Northeast China were hiding in the fishing boat on a piece of paper to prevent herself from forgetting. Cao Jingheng had many comrades, and he had a way to pass on this news without people suspecting it.
