Soon, the police from the station police station arrived at the scene. Seeing the group of people lying on the ground, An Moxue didn't waste any words. She took out her work ID to identify herself and then recounted what had happened.
When the eight people on the ground realized that An Moxue's identity was not simple, they all glared fiercely at the middle-aged woman. Only the last man was thinking, "Why am I so unlucky? I've been mistaken for an accomplice of human traffickers. I wonder if there's any hope for me?"
Thinking this, he shouted at the police: "Officers, I'm innocent! I'm not a human trafficker, I don't know them at all. I was just driven by curiosity and watched the commotion. I'm really not a human trafficker. I'm the deputy director of the steel rolling mill. I just got off the train after returning from a business trip. Here I am, I have my work certificate."
As the man spoke, he reached for his bag, but one of the police officers stopped him, saying, "Go back to the police station first, we'll investigate. If you're not a human trafficker, we'll release you."
Then, An Moxue took out a piece of paper from her bag, wrote down her contact information on it, and handed it to one of the police officers, saying, "These people may be a gang, and they are repeat offenders. I hope you will investigate them thoroughly. This is my contact information. If you need any other cooperation, you can call this number. I have some official business to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
Several police officers saluted her respectfully and watched her leave.
The young man who had been called to report the news was extremely curious. He walked up to the police officer and asked, "Comrade, who is that woman? She was able to leave before even going back to the police station to give her statement?"
The police officer glanced at him and said very seriously, "You're not good enough for someone like that. Don't bother asking about them; it won't do you any good."
The young man immediately understood. He hadn't expected to meet such a mysterious big shot today. He quickly nodded and agreed, "Yes, I understand."
An Moxue took a taxi directly to the National Security Bureau. Director Hou was a little surprised to see An Moxue, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he asked, "Why are you back at this time?"
An Moxue took out the documents Rong Anli had asked her to bring back, handed them over, and said, "This is what Catfish asked me to bring back."
Then, he took out two more documents and handed them over again, saying, "These are the mechanical blueprints stolen from the Shanghai Machinery Factory, and the Shanghai Garrison Map. These are what we brought back this time."
Director Hou asked, "Where is he?"
An Moxue said casually, "They've been fed to the sea fish, haven't they? Director, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now! I have things to do back in the North! There are only a few days left before school starts."
"Alright, go ahead!" Director Hou waved his hand.
After leaving the National Security Bureau, An Moxue went home, drove to the post office to make a phone call, and learned that Wu Sicheng was on a mission and not at school. She then drove north to the north.
She was the only one on the road, driving incredibly fast, kicking up clouds of dust. By the time she returned to Anping County, the car was covered in a thick layer of dust.
It was noon when An Moxue drove straight to the state-run restaurant in Anping County.
As soon as An Moxue entered, she saw Ai Guo sitting in his seat, eating heartily with chopsticks.
She walked over and sat down opposite Ai Guo, saying in a good mood, "Hey! Not bad! Still eating braised noodles!"
Hearing the voice, Ai Guo exclaimed with delight, "Mo Xue, you're back! That was fast! Did you bring a gift?"
"Yes. I'll bring it to you when I get back. What else would you like to eat? It's on me."
Ai Guo glanced at the menu and asked greedily, "Can we order everything?"
“Okay.” An Moxue stood up, walked to the service counter, and said to the waitress, “Sister Li, it’s been a long time. You’re still the same. You haven’t changed at all.” As she spoke, she handed her a few candies.
Hearing this, Sister Li took the candy again, feeling happy inside, and her face beamed with joy. "An Zhiqing, you're still so eloquent, and you're still so beautiful. Didn't you go back to the city? It's been so long, I thought you had!"
An Moxue smiled and said, "I went back to school. Now that it's summer vacation, I came back to visit. I'll have one of each of the dishes on the menu on the blackboard." As she spoke, she took out her money and handed it over.
Sister Li took the money, counting it as she spoke to An Moxue, "Great! You're still so generous. Want some to go? Of all the educated youth who went back to the city, you're the only one I know who's willing to come back for a visit. Once they leave, they don't want to come back. There aren't many who are willing to come back for a visit."
“No need, I’m coming with my brother.” An Moxue turned around, pointed to Ai Guo, and continued, “The villagers have helped me a lot, so I wanted to come back and visit when I had time.”
After counting the money, Sister Li gave the extra money to An Moxue and said, "Wait here. Just because of what you said, I'll go and ask the head chef to cook for you. The second chef was on the stove just now. I remember you like the head chef's cooking."
An Moxue said gratefully to Sister Li, "Thank you, Sister Li, you're so kind to me."
"Sit and wait, I'll call you when it's ready," Sister Li said, walking towards the kitchen.
An Moxue sat back down and saw that Ai Guo had finished his bowl of noodles.
Ai Guo looked at her and joked, "Wow! You're so familiar with the restaurant staff, looks like you're doing quite well here!"
An Moxue looked at him and asked with ill intent, "You're more familiar with the Public Security Bureau. Do you want to go check it out later?"
Ai Guo rolled his eyes at her: "Stop, I'm busy! It's not train time yet, when did you get back?"
An Moxue glanced outside and gestured, "Hey! Drive! It's so tiring driving all this way by myself, especially on such bad roads. I need to get some sleep when I get back. Are you free this afternoon? Could you wash my car for me?"
Ai Guo looked outside and saw a dusty gray jeep parked in front of the restaurant.
He asked excitedly, "So, when we go back, will we also drive?"
An Moxue sat lazily on the stool and asked, "Well, how's Uncle Ma's arrangement for the house going lately?"
"The foundation is all laid, and they've started building the walls. Mo Xue, how did you get such a large piece of land?"
An Moxue glanced around and whispered, "Of course it's earned through merit. You think it just fell from the sky? What a pipe dream!"
Ai Guo hesitated for a moment, but finally asked, "Do you know the legend of that land?"
"I know!"
Ai Guo looked at her and said very seriously, "Aren't you worried?" He felt that Mo Xue was all alone in her family, and it was better to be safe than sorry. He hoped that she would continue to be well in the future.
"Do you know the origin of the legend?"
Ai Guo shook his head honestly. An Moxue said, "Go back and find Uncle Ma, and have him explain it to you. I think all your worries will disappear after you hear it."
Ai Guo became interested. "Is there some other reason?"
An Moxue simply smiled, her eyes holding a depth that Ai Guo could not fathom.
