Before the dishes were served, Ji Shaoguo walked directly to the window, packed up the food and took it to the office to eat.
Across the pillar, Yu Qiufeng said sarcastically, "Ji Shaoguo always puts on that arrogant look for everyone to see. Does he really think that everyone wants to be a soldier? The girl he dated is quiet and gentle, and looks quite delicate. How could he think of joining the army to be a soldier?"
Wen Mingguo nonchalantly stuffed food into her mouth. "If Wang Shuning joins the army, he will definitely be promoted within two years. They value this. Ji Shaoguo was injured and had to retire. No one in the Ji family is worried about him in the army."
Yu Qiufeng sighed, "Fortunately, that girl was strong enough and held herself high, not taking Ji Shaoguo seriously at all."
Wen Mingguo put down the empty bowl. "Wang Shuning is most likely unwilling to go on a blind date. In the conversation just now, she tried several times to make Ji Shaoguo dissatisfied with her, saying that she wanted to leave after living apart for four years."
Yu Qiufeng frowned in confusion, "If you don't want to, why did you come to a blind date? I was almost beaten by a woman that day."
Wen Mingguo rubbed his fingers, "It should be my parents' request."
Most girls would dress themselves up beautifully when going on blind dates, but she didn't take it seriously and her clothes were not as pretty as her usual ones.
The day before yesterday, at the entrance of a state-owned shopping mall in Huaimi District, Wen Mingguo saw Wang Shuning holding the arm of a woman. She was wearing a skirt that day, which looked much better than today.
After leaving the State-owned Hotel, Wang Shuning rode his bicycle to find the warehouse.
Because of the antique trading, all the warehouses in Huaimi District were inspected. After the Public Security Bureau transported the items away, they often patrolled here. Wang Shuning needed to find a new place to store the grain and fruits traded with Tao Zhongxiao.
In the evening, Song's mother asked about the blind date.
Wang Shuning stared into Mother Song's eyes and said very seriously, "I really don't like him. I totally despise him."
Song's mother was stunned. Even before that, Gu Ranlong, her little daughter didn't dislike him so directly. "Is Ji Shaoguo a bad person?"
Wang Shuning blinked. "He and I have different values. Our perspectives on life are worlds apart. Let alone being a partner, we can't even be friends."
Although Song's mother didn't quite understand the first half of what her little daughter said, she understood the last sentence. If she couldn't even be friends with someone, how could she be so disgusted?
"It's okay, I'll find you another one. If we can't meet during the summer vacation, I'll wait until you come back during the winter vacation."
Wang Shuning looked at the closed door and sighed deeply. It was really annoying. She was only twenty years old and there was really no need to rush into getting married.
After finding the warehouse, Wang Shuning calculated the day and called Tao Zhongxiao to inform him of the location and time of the transaction.
Since the warehouse is located in a remote area, we chose to do it during the day.
Tao Zhongxiao took Zhao Gugu to count the goods. "Fortunately, Brother Xiong ran away that day, otherwise he would definitely be imprisoned and criticized, and he might even be sent to a farm."
Wang Shuning: "Your brother is not simple. He dared to rescue people from the police. His help is very powerful."
Tao Zhongxiao curled his lips and glanced at Wang Shuning: "The police have guns, who can use force in front of them? Who knows if it's true that they said they were rescued?"
After counting the items, Tao Zhongxiao readily paid Wang Shuning, "When the weather is hot, fruits are easier to sell than grains, especially watermelons. If there are stocks, we can get another batch of late watermelons in September, and the price will go up."
Wang Shuning: "I don't know when I will come next time, we'll talk about it then."
On the way back, Wang Shuning rode his bike past Huajing University. The students currently studying there are all workers, peasants and soldiers recommended by their units. After the three and a half years of study, they will return to their hometowns and units to work.
Looking at the deserted and empty school gate, Wang Shuning thought of himself when he was in college, and felt mixed emotions.
Wang Shuning stopped his bike when passing by the alley entrance, squinted his eyes and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.
There was a noise in the alley, like someone moaning.
"Who?" Wang Shuning shouted inside.
"Help~" Cheng Zhiji shouted the moment the force on his neck loosened.
Before he could finish shouting for help, someone grabbed his neck even harder.
His eyeballs were bulging out and he seemed to be strangled to death.
Wang Shuning was nervous, and her usual strong vigilance made her realize that something must have happened in the alley.
There was no one around and no one could be called for help.
She simply raised her voice, trying to scare the person away, "Help! Someone is killing me! Help! Someone is killing me!"
Then she took out a kitchen knife from the space, picked up a brick from the ground with her other hand, and walked into the alley.
The moment she turned the corner, she felt cold all over. A middle-aged man with blood all over his head was leaning against the wall, breathing weakly, and two naked women were lying on the ground.
Not far away in the alley, there was a man running away. He was the murderer.
Wang Shuning held the kitchen knife tightly in his hand and shouted again: "Murder, murder..."
She squatted down and patted Cheng Zhiji's shoulder, "Uncle, are you okay?"
Cheng Zhiji's throat was so sore that he couldn't speak. "It's okay, call the police."
Wang Shuning plucked up the courage to touch the nostrils of the two women, but found that they were no longer breathing.
"They are dead."
Cheng Zhiji closed his eyes sadly.
The cries for help finally attracted a few people. Seeing the horrifying scene, one of the men fell to his knees.
Not long after, the police arrived. At this time, there were already many people gathered in the alley. Wang Shuning stopped them from approaching to prevent them from destroying the evidence at the scene.
When Ji Shaoguo saw Wang Shuning appear here, his brows immediately frowned.
Wen Mingguo walked forward and squatted down to examine the two dead bodies. "The bodies are still warm, they died not long ago."
Ji Shaoguo asked Wang Shuning: "You called the police, you are a witness?"
Wang Shuning nodded and pointed at Cheng Zhiji and said, "I was riding past that side of the alley and heard a noise in the alley so I shouted. Then I heard someone shouting for help. When I rushed in, the murderer was running away. I only saw his back, but this uncle should have seen the murderer's face."
The police were applying simple hemostatic bandage to Cheng Zhiji. The murderer had smashed his head against the wall, causing him to bleed profusely.
After the blood on his face was wiped clean, his face was revealed. Wang Shuning thought he looked familiar. "Uncle, have we met before somewhere?"
Cheng Zhiji had deep finger marks on his neck, and his throat hurt when he spoke, "We met on the train."
Wang Shuning suddenly realized, "You are the professor from Huajing University."
Cheng Zhiji nodded, never expecting that they would meet again at this time.
