Chapter 60 Chapter 60 "Guo Guo, I will listen to you in everything from now on...
Hongguo thought that most of what Xu Wenying said was probably true, but she only said what she knew. If there was no related matter in her family, she would not be recruited for such an important security incident.
After hearing what she said, Hongguo calculated that Xu Wenying knew less than she did.
According to Xu Wenying's style of doing things, if the first person died during the interrogation, she would then interrogate the second one. Now that two people have died, she could let the miner who was rescued after going down the mine die again. Xu Wenying's personality is too radical. She will not change, but only temporarily compromise under the pressure of the situation.
For the sake of Changzong, Qu Lian, Lao Zheng, Guizhi and Yushan, Hongguo could not tell her anything he knew.
Hong Guo said, "I do have something to say, but I have conditions. I can let you take risks in the mines. I guess you are not a leader, right? Then you are not qualified. Find a leader who can agree to my conditions, and I will talk. Don't think about going to Chang Zong. If you force me to death, it will be no good for you without a bridle. So, find another leader, and I promise to cooperate."
Xu Wenying thought of various situations, and she was not wrong. Looking at the gentle Jiang Hongguo, she was not only able to be the master of the house and make Gu Changzong obedient, but she was also not a pushover to outsiders and could not be scared by just a few threats.
Xu Wenying found nothing in the family’s mine, and he couldn’t afford to mess it up again.
She nodded: "Okay, I'll pass on your message, but Yu Hai will be here soon, aren't you worried that she will cooperate first?"
Hong Guo smiled: "I didn't say I won't cooperate. It's up to you to choose. If Yu Hai can satisfy your information collection, then you don't need me. You can just strike down my arrogance of not cooperating with you. Stop talking about this. Can I leave now?"
Xu Wenying estimated that Jiang Hongguo had important information and it would be a problem not to let her go, so he nodded.
Jiang Hongguo turned around, left the roof without hesitation, and went down the stairs. No one stopped her.
It can be seen that after three people died in a row, especially after the sudden death due to absenteeism, Xu Wenying was under great constraints. If she was constrained, Hongguo's situation would be better.
Hongguo was not afraid that she would go to Yu Hai. Yu Shan would not say anything. The suspicions and guesses that Yu Hai had could not pose a threat to Hongguo.
In the end, the leader who can make the decision will definitely come to her, and she must strive for the best security guarantee for herself and Changzong and the others.
After walking up the last flight of stairs, Hong Guo saw Chang Zong waiting for her at the door. Her originally determined heart softened in an instant, and she ran over and said, "Chang Zong, why didn't you go to the mine with Lao Jiao and the others?"
How could Gu Changzong leave Hongguo here alone? He had made plans that if Hongguo was troubled or taken away, he would rather go to extremes.
Chang Zong didn't care and hugged her in front of the crowded hospital entrance, looking her left and right. He felt relieved when he didn't see any sign of grievance on her face.
"Guoguo, if there is someone you want to teach a lesson to, tell me and I will help you do it."
Hongguo felt a sour feeling in her heart, which then turned into a sweet feeling. If Changzong didn't have her to protect him, sooner or later he would perish together with everything he disliked, right?
Hongguo taught him how to make friends and find companions, and she also taught him how to deal with others.
Hong Guo boasted to him, "I have you and your friends, so I am confident. I can touch things and see things, so I don't even need to tell you about it. We can negotiate. Xu Wenying is not very polite, but she can't take advantage of me. I'm angry with her, so she must be sulking up there. Let's go and take a look at the mine."
Changzong saw that Hongguo was not sugarcoating the situation and was truly confident. He was happy with her and was glad that he had listened to Hongguo. Now he had several friends around him who could help and became Hongguo's bargaining chips and backing. It was great.
"Guoguo, I will listen to you in everything from now on." Gu Changzong promised again.
Hongguo hugged Changzong's arm and was no longer afraid of anything. Changzong was her support. Since they were planning to negotiate, they would package it together to get a good price and gain more protection for everyone.
Hongguo knew that Xu Wenying was watching on the rooftop, but she insisted on walking out happily as if nothing had happened.
Changzong's transport vehicle Lao Jiao drove away, and Hongguo and he took a human-powered tricycle to meet up with him. Lao Jiao and his friends spent money to get into the fenced-off mine, and were discussing who would be brave enough to go down.
Qu Lian wanted to go down, but the locals refused, saying that women were not allowed to go down into the mines. If the man was not led away, he would be beaten by Qu Lian.
Xiao Zheng and Shi Jinzhou wanted to go down, but they didn't have the courage. Lao Jiao knew something and didn't want to go down either. Chang Zong came, took off his coat, and told him to go down.
No one had any objection to this. Changzong was the most capable among the group. Even Hongguo agreed that he should take the risk and go down to see if he could find anything.
Changzong didn't need a hanging basket, he went down along the rope. The mine was very deep, almost seventy or eighty meters. Such a deep underground hole was not very wide in diameter, and it was really scary to go down.
Hongguo couldn't help but think of what Xu Wenying said. Her brother and sister were thrown into a mine by their parents. It was so dark and lonely that even the adults couldn't stand it, let alone the children.
But Xu Wenying was able to hold on for several days down there without breaking down mentally, and he was able to immediately question Hong Guo after coming up. He is indeed a man of strong mind. Hong Guo should be careful.
Xiao Zheng looked at the watch. After Changzong had been down for a quarter of an hour, he shook the rope and climbed up with the help of a rope without anyone pulling him. Even the locals admired him and said that he had great physical strength.
Changzong didn't know if what he did was right, and looked at Hongguo.
Hong Guo boasted confidently: "Of course, my Chang Zong is amazing in many other ways. It's very easy to climb out from the mine."
She just wanted to let people know how powerful and important Changzong was. It would be a huge loss to force him to death or run away, which was not cost-effective.
Gu Changzong was happy after hearing Hongguo's words. Although there was no expression on his face, his actions revealed it. He followed Hongguo closely. If Hongguo was not shy, he would have held her hand tightly.
From the fact that Hongguo came over smoothly to the fact that she was in good condition and praised Gu Changzong, Lao Jiao felt relieved. No matter what happened, Hongguo was confident that Gu Changzong would be fine. If Changzong was fine, then Guizhi would be fine too.
Lao Jiao was in a good mood. He pointed to the people selling raw stones on the roadside and said to Hong Guo, "Since we are here, do you want to pick one? They say it was dug out from this mine."
They are all scammers under the guise of mines, but Hongguo is in a good mood today, so I suggest that everyone choose a piece (not too expensive) and take it home to open it and see the result.
Xiao Zheng and Shi Jinzhou were fooled yesterday and forgot about it today. They were eager to try again. When they heard what Hong Guo said, they pulled Lao Jiao to help them take a look.
Lao Jiao was unwilling to do so and told them to choose by themselves, explaining with a smile: "It all depends on your luck. Don't choose the expensive ones, and you will be less likely to be cheated."
Hongguo asked Changzong to pick one, but Gu Changzong shook his head and let Hongguo choose. He said that his best luck had been used in meeting Hongguo. If he still had luck, he would stay with Hongguo.
Hongguo touched dozens of pieces at the small stalls and actually found a raw stone the size of a washbasin. It was from the bottom of a mine and was of good quality. The value of the raw stone alone was enough to make a profit.
It was not easy for this family. Hongguo paid a symbolic price and let Changzong buy it.
Everyone bought a piece, even Qu Lian asked Lao Jiao for some money and bought a fist-sized piece as a souvenir of the trip.
Hongguo still wanted to ask Changzong to buy one, otherwise he would be the only one without one.
After thinking about it, Gu Changzong became even more superstitious. He didn't buy it, but whispered to Hongguo: "Guoguo, this mine is interesting. It's surrounded by good jade mines. But the location of this mine is not good. It can't produce good ore. The mine owner is about to give up. This time there was an accident. I wonder if I can find an opportunity to take over this mining area."
Hongguo suppressed her excitement. If Changzong said there was one, then there was one.
She just happened to have a solution. She would wait for the leader of the Security Affairs Office to come to her and she would propose to take over the mining area to see if the leader agreed.
If everyone can agree to this, it means that her role is more important than Xu Wenying.
Hongguo was happy and had some confidence that he could wait for good results.
After returning, Changzong drove the car and Hongguo sat in the passenger seat. Looking back at the car, everyone was chatting and laughing in a relaxed manner because of the confidence she brought back, and were not affected by Xu Wenying's momentum.
It is this group of people that Hongguo wants to protect. She turned around and happened to meet Changzong's eyes. There was loyalty in Changzong's eyes that he would trust even if he died, but Hongguo just wanted him to be fine.
Hong Guo smiled and turned his unique and extraordinary face to the front: "There are a lot of people in the car, so take control of the steering wheel."
Gu Changzong didn't say anything or make any excuses, but he thought that it was Hong Guo who was leading the people in this car to move forward carefully, and no one cared about them as much as Hong Guo did.
That Xu Wenying, she would never be able to get what she wanted from them.
When we got back to the hotel, Professor Cheng had come back early and asked everyone about what they had gained today. Hongguo said that she had bought some raw stones that were said to have come from a mine as souvenirs.
Professor Cheng did not realize that Xu Wenying wanted to give him a false impression of harmony and just sent him away.
Professor Cheng was happy to see everyone happy, and said, "Yu Hai and his group arrived this afternoon. Yu Hai is not in good health, after all, she came because of Wen Ying's disappearance. Wen Ying felt sorry for her, so she accompanied her to the hospital, saying that she would take care of Yu Hai, and let us eat our own food at night."
Xu Wenying is not giving up and wants to break through from Yu Hai, so let her try. If she fails, Hong Guo will be easier to negotiate with.
Hong Guo said politely as if nothing had happened: "If Yu Hai had arrived earlier, we could have met, but Wen Ying can't always entertain him in the hospital. We can meet when we come back tomorrow. We'll have a good meal tonight to celebrate that everyone is okay."
Everyone was happy with this suggestion and prepared ingredients for hotpot.
Professor Cheng was happy and took out a jar of rice wine. Lao Jiao wanted to drink a little, Xiao Zheng and Shi Jinzhou only wanted a small bowl to try, they didn't dare to drink more. Changzong could drink a little before, but now he doesn't drink at all. Guizhi and Qu Lian needless to say, they don't drink either. Hongguo doesn't like the taste of wine, so he and the non-drinkers drank tea instead of wine. They had dinner around a big table in the yard and enjoyed the meal very much.
Professor Cheng hadn't been so happy in a long time. He drank a lot and became more and more interested in chatting.
Hong Guo took advantage of him being drunk and asked, "Professor Cheng, how did Wen Ying's parents and family die?"
