Meng Xunzhou nodded slightly, his expression solemn, and lowered his voice:
"Well, his answer seemed flawless, but it was also perfunctory. It's abnormal for a middle school teacher to ask about our work and know our situation so clearly."
Song Shishi thought of Gu Mingyuan's gentle yet unfathomable eyes, and nodded with lingering fear.
"At first I thought I was overthinking it, after all he said his father worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but now it seems that things are not that simple."
Meng Xunzhou pulled Song Shishi to sit on the stone bench in the yard.
"I'll find a chance to check his background later. During this time, you and Aunt Zheng should remind them to be careful. This is a critical period, so we can't let our guard down."
Song Shishi responded, and suddenly remembered the snacks that Gu Mingyuan gave her. She picked them up and looked at them: "Is this snack still edible?"
Meng Xunzhou frowned, took the snack, looked at it carefully, then shook his head.
"Just in case, don't eat it. I'll find a place to dispose of it so he won't see that we're suspicious."
...
...
As he said this, he stood up, carefully wrapped up the snacks, and prepared to find a hidden place to throw them away.
After preparing the snacks, Meng Xunzhou returned to the yard and Song Shishi had already brought the food to the table.
"Oh, there's one more thing I almost forgot to tell you."
Hearing this, Meng Xunzhou looked up and met Song Shishi's gaze.
"What?"
"Captain Zhou's daughter Zhou Xingxue and An Jinsheng from Huaiqing Brigade are coming to Beijing..."
Song Shishi told Meng Xunzhou everything about the report letter, Yang Huifang and a series of other things.
"Don't worry about this for now, leave it to me."
Meng Xunzhou had wanted to punish An Jinsheng a long time ago. When An Jinsheng was detained, it was not convenient for him to do it in front of so many police officers.
But now they have fallen into the trap, and they can only wish for the best.
Zheng Peilan heard some noise in the yard. At first she thought it was Xu Li and the others, but when she came out of the room, she saw Song Shishi serving the dishes and Meng Xunzhou setting the table.
The two seemed to be talking in low voices.
"Xunzhou is here."
Zheng Peilan walked over with a smile and looked Meng Xunzhou up and down.
"Have you lost weight? Is the food in the army bad?"
"Aunt Zheng, the food in the army is very good."
…
In the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Song Shishi was sitting in front of a desk piled with documents, carefully translating an important document.
She was wearing a simple but neat work outfit, her black hair was tied neatly behind her head, and her eyes were focused and determined.
She is still in the original office, but she has become the team leader of this office.
And Xie Youan has been promoted from team leader to section chief.
Mo Mingfei also came back and is now in her group.
Just after experiencing that incident,
Suddenly, my colleague Xiao Li hurried in with a strange look on his face.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Comrade Song, Secretary Wang asked me to tell you that An Jinsheng and Zhou Xingxue from Huaiqing are coming to Jingshi to cooperate with the street office in the investigation. They should arrive in Jingshi at noon tomorrow."
Hearing these two names, Song Shishi paused with the pen in her hand, and time seemed to freeze in an instant.
She didn't expect that they would arrive in Beijing so soon. She should start making preparations.
That night, the fine spring rain fell like endless sorrow.
The raindrops hit the bluestone road, splashing small water droplets.
Holding a plain oil-paper umbrella, Song Shishi hurriedly walked in the rain towards the state-owned teahouse.
Along the way, the dim street lights emitted a hazy glow in the rain. There were few pedestrians. Occasionally, a few bicycles passed by in a hurry, and their wheels splashed the water on the ground.
In the state-owned teahouse, the lights were dim and the air was filled with a faint scent of tea.
There are a few simple wooden tables and benches in the teahouse, and a slogan "Serve the People" is posted on the wall.
She sat in the corner, her fingers tapping unconsciously on the rough wooden table, her eyes filled with chilling determination and hatred.
The tea on the table had already gone cold, the rising heat had long since dissipated, leaving only a faint circle of water stains.
"Shishi, what happened?"
Upon hearing the sound, Song Shishi clenched the teacup tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.
The person who came was Jiang Xinran, Song Shishi’s childhood playmate.
The two have never met again since Song Shishi went to the countryside.
The two had not met until Jiang Xinran came to give her the wedding invitation last time.
When she learned that An Jinsheng and Zhou Xingxue were coming to Beijing, she thought of asking Jiang Xinran for help.
After get off work, Song Shishi called Jiang Xinran directly and asked her to come to the state-owned teahouse.
"Have some tea first. I do have something I want your help with today."
Song Shishi poured a cup of tea for Jiang Xinran and handed it to her, then spoke slowly.
"Given our relationship, just tell me directly. If I can help, I will definitely help you. If I can't, I will also try to help you."
Jiang Xinran is still the same as before.
It turns out that the friendship between friends who grew up together is the purest.
Song Shishi told Jiang Xinran everything that happened between her, An Jinsheng and Zhou Xingxue after her rebirth.
Jiang Xinran frowned as he heard this.
"Snap"
With a sound, Jiang Xinran slapped the table.
The noise attracted the attention of the guests around.
"You weren't like this before, how could you tolerate someone like this jumping around in front of you again and again?
They actually have the nerve to come to Beijing!
If I don't kill them, I'm not Jiang!"
Song Shishi was speechless for a moment.
Yes, in the past, she had always suffered injustice from others. How could she let others get away with it after being bullied to this extent?
If Jiang Xinran hadn't reminded her, she would have almost forgotten about the flamboyant Song Shishi.
"I came to you today because I want you to help me deal with them.
I heard they will arrive tomorrow at noon.
Don’t you have a cousin who does that?”
Song Shishi said as she raised her hand and stroked her neck with her thumb.
"You ask your cousin to help me teach them a lesson, and I will give him the corresponding reward."
"Shishi, your business is my business. Talking about money will hurt our feelings."
Jiang Xinran patted his chest and said firmly: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
The two people at the back huddled together and whispered about their plan to take revenge on An Jinsheng and Zhou Xingxue.
…
At noon the next day, An Jinsheng and Zhou Xingxue stood side by side at the entrance of the train station.
Zhou Xingxue looked around wantonly.
"Jinsheng, where are we going now?"
This was Zhou Xingxue's first time to come to Jing City from Huaiqing Brigade, so she was curious about everything in Jing City.
But at the same time, she was a little afraid of this strange place.
An Jinsheng pulled his sleeve out of Zhou Xingxue's hand.
"Be careful of the impact in public."
Zhou Xingxue pouted in dissatisfaction: "We are husband and wife, who dares to say anything?"
An Jinsheng ignored her and walked straight ahead.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Xingxue stamped her feet in anger, but she was powerless and could only quickly catch up.
"Jinsheng, wait for me!"
