In the afternoon, Meng Zhehan came back from Shen Yu. As soon as he entered the office, he called Meng Shaoan. There was no one at home, so he called his office instead. Meng Shaoan answered the phone.
Meng Zhehan: "I want to know what you found out."
Meng Shaoan looked unhappy: What's this kid's attitude? Now he doesn't even call me Second Uncle?
He raised his hand to signal the subordinate who was reporting on his work to go out first, and said calmly: "Something happened here, and I have dealt with it."
"What's going on?"
"...a bug."
"In your office?"
"At home, in the study."
"I believe Comrade Meng understands the nature of eavesdropping on the conversations of senior leaders. May I ask how you will handle this?"
"Zhehan, this is just a child's farce, there is no need to make a big deal out of it."
Meng Zhehan: “…”
He can really give up on this second uncle.
He said directly: "Comrade Meng Shaoan, your family of four are not children anymore. This is a crime, and I can say it is even more serious. Where did the bug come from? Who installed it? What is the real motive? We must find out everything, not a single detail can be left unchecked! From now on, you, Jin Yanyan, Wen Lan, and Wen Xin will be thoroughly investigated! In addition, I promised before that I would not interfere in your affairs, but until today, you have not confessed to your family, and your wife and daughter are so restless that they dare to do anything to achieve their ulterior motives. Sooner or later, they will cause trouble! I can't watch the entire Meng family being implicated by you, so I'm going to break my promise to you and prepare to tell my family about this."
"Zhehan! Things are not as serious as you think. Don't..."
Beep, the call was hung up.
Meng Shaoan was so angry that he slammed the table, then quickly picked up the phone and tried to call again, but he couldn't get through.
Meng Zhehan didn't mean it. He just dialed several numbers in succession, and soon more calls came in. He was really busy now.
―――――――――――
At night, Meng Tao leaned on the hard sleeper bed on the moving train, with her eyes open, not wanting to sleep.
After spending a day and a night on the train, listening to the station announcements on the radio, it was still a long time before they arrived at the provincial capital of Y Province. The speed was really killing her, and she was more irritated than ever before.
Tracking people is not something a human should do. She regretted it, but she was already halfway there. It would be a bit of a loss to give up now. She had no choice but to continue. At least she had to see it through to the end.
There was a reason why the journey was unpleasant. The compartment where Meng Tao was staying was too complicated and too noisy. She didn't know what fate had led to two women with a grudge against each other to move in. From what they said, it seemed that one of them had stolen whose man... Anyway, they were both powerful characters, evenly matched. They quarreled, swore at each other, and even pushed each other all the way, and there was no winner. They were not tired, but Meng Tao was tired just watching them.
Fortunately, she bought a ticket for the upper berth.
I also thought about moving to another cubicle, which would at most give me some benefits, but it would be inconvenient to see people there - Tian Zhiyuan was right next door.
Meng Tao used the excuse of having a cold, wearing a scarf and a mask, and went out to get water, buy food, or go to the toilet every day. She would stop by to see Tian Zhiyuan on the way. He basically lay down and slept, and didn't eat.
Of course it was impossible for him not to eat. I heard his mother Wang Shuifeng say that night that pancakes were given as dry food, so he probably ate that.
The next afternoon, Meng Tao, who had been insisting on not falling into a deep sleep, finally felt sleepy. She dozed off for a while and suddenly felt her body sinking, as if someone was covering her with a quilt. She immediately got up and looked around. She was stunned. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief and wanted to pinch the back of her hand.
Meng Tao couldn't help but laugh and whispered, "How did you get here?"
This train came from Mengzhou and did not pass through the provincial capital. It even went in the opposite direction. Shen Yu, who was far away in the provincial capital, suddenly appeared on the train. Could it be that he could fly? Meng Tao guessed correctly. Shen Yu did fly here. He took a helicopter and flew to Qingcheng, where the train must pass, and caught up with the train.
Based on the phone call that Meng Tao made to Meng Zhehan in Mengzhou, Shen Yu and Meng Zhehan analyzed the situation and made another phone call to inquire, and they locked on this train.
He used his connections and immediately looked for the conductor after getting on the train. After checking the tickets for a long time, he finally found his fiancée.
"I'll tell you in detail later. Come, I'll take you to my seat."
Shen Yu helped Meng Tao down and rubbed her wrist with concern. There was an indentation there, which was all red. It must be uncomfortable to sleep in such a hard sleeper.
Meng Tao didn't say much. She put on a mask and wrapped a scarf around her neck and left right away. She didn't bring any carry-on luggage, only a large shoulder bag.
Shen Yu took out a pair of black-framed glasses from his trouser pocket and put them on, then put on the dark gray cadre jacket that he had just covered Meng Tao with. He originally had a very old-fashioned thick felt flat hat on his head. In an instant, his temperament changed and he looked like a completely different person.
It turns out that's how he was dressed when he got on the bus.
This can be considered as a telepathic connection. The appearance is deliberately blurred to cooperate with Meng Tao.
Meng Tao held back her laughter and let Shen Yu lead her out. When she passed the next room, she glanced at Tian Zhiyuan's bunk, where he was still lying.
Shen Yu noticed the look in his fiancée's eyes and glanced in that direction. Meng Tao was next to him and whispered, "That's Tian Zhiyuan. I came with him."
Shen Yu gently held her hand to show that he understood.
They walked to a soft sleeper compartment, where no one was. Shen Yu said that this was for the two of them. He arranged a lower bunk, pulled Meng Tao to sit with him, let her lean on him, and carefully asked her why she was tracking Tian Zhiyuan.
Meng Tao told him everything.
Shen Yu frowned slightly: "Tian Zhigao has awakened his past life memories. He understands the direction of history over the past few decades and knows the treasures that are waiting to be discovered in various places... Do you suspect that he sent Tian Zhiyuan to Province Y for the jade mine?"
"Except for this, nothing else is possible."
There are poisonous weeds dumped in by foreign gangs at the border of Y Province. Anyone who comes into contact with that stuff will be punished by death. The Tian brothers are afraid of death and will not take the risk.
Other tea and specialty businesses can also be traded privately on the black market, but they don't have the capital.
Energy minerals are even more impossible. First, there is no money. Second, they are all mined by the state. Who dares to dig and sell them privately? Moreover, the transportation of coal, iron, zinc and other ores requires the use of fleets and wagons. With such a large target, isn't it a dead end? Jade mines are different. As long as you can take one or two pieces away, if they are top-grade jadeite, you can sell them on the black market in minutes. You can make a fortune quietly, not only solve your living problems, but also accumulate funds. This is the wisest way these days.
Shen Yu looked at his wife's rosy little mouth as she spoke excitedly, and couldn't help but lower his head and nibble on it: "You know a lot."
Meng Tao: "That's right, I'm a genius."
Shen Yu chuckled. He had completed his studies at the age of sixteen and had studied abroad for two years. He never called himself a genius, but he didn't expect that his wife would be so boastful.
He patted the pillow and pushed her down to lie down: "Your eyes are almost as white as a rabbit. Get some sleep. I'll be by your side. Tian Zhiyuan won't be able to run away. Don't worry."
