Zhao Qiang and others were taken away by the police.
Song Shishi and Xie Yushan heard the noise outside gradually dying down, so they quietly stuck their heads out to check.
"It should be the public security comrades who have arrived. Let's go out and take a look."
Xie Yushan took a quick look and vaguely saw the uniform of the police officer.
He turned and waved to Song Shishi, who looked worried.
The two men came to the front hall. The police had already taken the person away, and Meng Xunzhou was talking to them about something.
Meng Xunzhou noticed it when Song Shishi walked over.
He smiled at Song Shishi and continued to take statements with the police.
After the police left, Li Ming also came back.
...
...
He put his hands on his hips and said breathlessly, "I saw the police car coming this way halfway, so I hurried back. Has the person been taken away?"
Xie Yushan nodded and said, "Let's go."
Su Yao came out from under the counter when she heard the voices of Xie Yushan and the others.
Song Shishi looked at Meng Xunzhou. The wound on his injured arm had split open again, and blood oozed out, staining his sleeve red.
The corners of Meng Xunzhou's mouth were also black and blue, with blood streaks on them.
Song Shishi couldn't see other parts of his body because they were covered by clothes, so she naturally didn't know if Meng Xunzhou had any other injuries.
"The news that we are going by land has probably spread by now. During the safe period, we can have a meal, rush to the next county, and then take the train back to Beijing. This will save a lot of time."
Xie Yushan originally thought that they could drive back. It was a bit far, but at least it was safe.
But now it seems that they should change their strategy.
When the people on the train see that they didn't get on the train, they will definitely get off at the next stop.
They sent a message as a messenger, and by the time those people noticed, they had already returned to Beijing.
Once we reach the capital, if those people dare to come, they will be walking into a trap.
After the restaurant owner came back, the few of them simply ate some noodles and continued on their way.
The journey was far from peaceful, and they did not dare to delay any longer, lest they have to wait for another period of time.
Song Shishi originally wanted Meng Xunzhou to go to a nearby clinic first, but was rejected by Meng Xunzhou.
"These are minor injuries, don't worry, it would be better for us to return to Beijing as soon as possible."
Seeing that he was indeed in good condition, Song Shishi could only nod in agreement.
Fortunately, she had thought of changing Meng Xunzhou's dressing on the way, so she brought the medicine and gauze with her.
After getting in the car, Song Shishi personally changed Meng Xunzhou's bandages to stop the bleeding. She was very careful, fearing that she would hurt Meng Xunzhou.
…
When Song Shishi and her group returned to Beijing, it was already noon the next day.
Meng Xunzhou sent her back to the courtyard, and without even giving her time to drink a glass of water, he returned to the army.
This time he met Zhao Qiang and others on the road, and he needed to report the matter as soon as possible.
Meng Xunzhou rushed back to the army in a hurry, but before he had time to catch his breath, he was called to the office by Commander Feng.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Commander Feng with a smile on his face and his eyes full of admiration for Meng Xunzhou.
Commander Feng waved to Meng Xunzhou.
"Xunzhou, you have done a great job this time!"
Commander Feng stood up, walked up to Meng Xunzhou and patted him on the shoulder.
Meng Xunzhou was stunned for a moment, with a look of doubt in his eyes.
He hadn't even had the time to report, so how come Commander Feng said he had made a contribution?
"I received news this morning that the public security organs of Qiancheng County, based on the clues you provided, have found irrefutable evidence of Zhao Qiang and his gang's smuggling.
The amount of money involved in their smuggling cases was huge and the impact was extremely bad.
I heard that you also played an important role in capturing Zhao Qiang and his men this time."
Meng Xunzhou said modestly: "Commander, this is what I should do. I believe that any soldier would do the same if they encountered such a situation."
Commander Feng laughed and said, "Don't be so modest. In view of your outstanding performance this time, the army will reward you as appropriate. Just keep up the good work."
As he said this, Commander Feng patted him on the shoulder again.
Meng Xunzhou came out of Teacher Feng's office and recalled the look on Teacher Feng's face when he said he would give him a reward. He always felt that this time he might have achieved something unexpected.
…
On the other side, Song Shishi returned to the courtyard. As soon as she stepped into the yard, she saw Zheng Peilan basking in the sun in the yard.
Hearing the footsteps, Zheng Peilan slowly opened her eyes and raised her head to look in the direction of the Chuihua Gate.
When Zheng Peilan saw that it was Song Shishi, surprise suddenly appeared in her eyes.
She stood up from the recliner and walked quickly towards Song Shishi.
"My dear, you are finally back! How are you doing in Haicheng these days? How is your uncle? He never calls me. I tried calling him several times but couldn't get through. I don't know why he is so busy every day."
Zheng Peilan took Song Shishi's hand and looked her up and down, her eyes full of concern.
Song Shishi smiled helplessly, "Mom, you asked so many questions, which one should I answer first?"
Zheng Peilan also laughed, "You can go back to whichever one you want first. Did your journey back here go smoothly?"
Song Shishi smiled and took Zheng Peilan's arm, gently leaned her head on Zheng Peilan's shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Mom, I miss you so much."
No matter what happened in Haicheng or on the way back to Beijing, he was not going to let Zheng Peilan know what the gift was.
Everything has been resolved, and speaking out about it would only make Zheng Peilan worry for no reason.
The mother and daughter were talking in private when a cheerful shout came from the hanging flower gate:
"Sister Shishi, you're finally back!"
Xu Li and Qiao Yanxin had just come back. When Xu Li saw Song Shishi, she jumped for joy and then ran towards her.
Song Shishi was much calmer. She moved her head away from Zheng Peilan's shoulder, straightened up, and looked at Xu Li who was running towards her with a smile.
"Sister Shishi, is it fun to go to Haicheng this time? Is it the same as Beijing? You've been gone for so many days, you don't know how much I missed you."
Xu Li pestered Song Shishi, chattering and asking questions non-stop.
Xu Li held her arm with an affectionate look on her face.
Qiao Yanxin also echoed: "That's right, you also missed the opening of my new store. Tell us quickly, what fun places did you visit along the way?"
Zheng Peilan patted Song Shishi's hand, "You guys chat first, I'll go get you something to eat. You must have not eaten well after sitting on the train for such a long time, right?"
"Mom, you are the best to me."
Zheng Peilan smiled and let go of her hand, turned around to pick some vegetables in the yard, and then went to the kitchenette.
When Song Shishi turned around, she met the curious eyes of Xu Li and Qiao Yanxin.
She smiled helplessly and told them about the customs of Haicheng, but she did not mention a word about the thrilling things she encountered in Haicheng.
They were chatting animatedly when Xu Li suddenly noticed a scratch on Song Shishi's wrist. Although the wound was not big, it was already a little red and swollen.
"Sister Shishi, what's wrong with your hand?" Xu Li asked, pointing at the wound with concern.
Song Shishi didn't notice that she was also injured.
She was always concerned about Meng Xunzhou's injuries, but the light in the car was dim and no one noticed the scratches on her hands.
During the period, she felt a little pain, but she just thought it was caused by the discomfort of sitting in the car and did not pay attention to herself at all.
She smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay, I just accidentally scraped it on the road, it's a minor injury, it will heal in a few days."
But Xu Li didn't think so. She immediately got up and went back to the house, took out the medicine box, and insisted on treating Song Shishi's wound.
Seeing Xu Li's serious and distressed look, Song Shishi felt warm in her heart and she obediently let her do what she wanted.
After treating the wound, Qiao Yanxin suddenly came over mysteriously and said, "Shishi, when you were away, a new neighbor came to our alley. I heard he's a very powerful person!"
"New neighbor?" Song Shishi raised her eyebrows curiously. "What kind of powerful person is he?"
Before Qiao Yanxin could answer, someone suddenly knocked on the gate of the yard.
Qiao Yanxin got up to open the door, only to see a strange middle-aged man standing at the door, wearing a neat Zhongshan suit and with a serious expression.
He saw Qiao Yanxin and nodded slightly, "Excuse me, is Comrade Song Shishi living here? I'm from the street office, and I want to ask her about something."
A trace of doubt arose in Qiao Yanxin's heart. After thinking for a while, he moved aside to make room for the newcomer.
"Yes, then please come in and tell me."
