She has this!
She has so many!
She's a professional!
Various sizes and models, almost all of them are the latest models.
In her past life, this kind of tool, if not a commonly used weapon, was the kind that would never gather dust for her. Didn't it just happen to fall into her hands?
It's no wonder she thought that way. She had collected quite a few of those things on the back mountain of Liujiatun. However, at that time, she didn't actively seek out treasures; she just collected whatever she came across, doing it casually.
These treasured items never even get a chance to see the light of day.
At this moment, Jian Dan really felt a bit of the mystery and excitement of treasure hunting.
As dawn broke, he made a simple guess about Cheng Chao's current progress while continuing to work.
Regardless of whether Cheng Chao's actions and reaction will be this swift, these people will inevitably go to the Cheng family home at daybreak. If they find something amiss, will they immediately connect it to this place and thus strengthen their vigilance and surveillance? This is something that is not easy to determine.
However, nothing is perfect, especially at this sensitive time, and no one can predict what changes might occur.
The simple idea is that things are only truly yours once they're in your pocket.
After carefully scanning every nook and cranny of the path, Jian Dan found nothing unusual and didn't trigger any alarms.
"Huh?"
Jian Dan was a little puzzled. Had that man also been deceived?
Or is he even deceiving his own people?
As for whether the other party had already discovered her, Jian Dan was still confident. Her concealment technique was quite effective. It wasn't that she was arrogant; Cheng Chao admired her for this.
Those who have practiced can be seen to have varying levels of skill and experience even with basic training.
After circling around twice and pondering for a while, it was almost dawn. She was simple, but also a little anxious. She wasn't about to let someone else take the easy way out of this easy money that was already in her mouth. She wasn't going to let someone else make a fortune while she was watching others harm others.
To disbelieve in evil is simply to disbelieve in evil.
She also felt that there was a very high possibility that it was in this area, but even after tapping on the surrounding stone walls, she still couldn't detect anything unusual.
So, what happened?
What else is easier to overlook, and what did she not notice?
They circled the narrow path, which wasn't very far, again and again, checking almost every inch, gradually expanding the search area.
It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky and the noise of family members could be faintly heard that a faint reminder was finally heard more than three kilometers away from the Cheng family's house.
Simply straighten your back and slowly exhale a breath of stale air.
Good heavens, she finally found it! If she hadn't found it, she would have been tempted to go back to the Cheng family to check on things.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and neck, and cautiously checked his surroundings.
There were a few scattered cave dwellings not far away. She had been watching them closely, and the adults and children had all gone out. Judging from the way they were being put down, they should be either at work or at school. She hadn't seen a single person for a long time.
Even if there are people at home right now, they're probably elderly or not many.
The anomaly wasn't discovered in a place easily spotted on the surface, nor in some remote corner, but rather in a few low bushes.
To be honest, this position is really hard to guess.
Jian Dan concealed himself in the bushes, secretly holding the detector, poking here and there, searching for the exact contact point, completely unaware that the residential compound had already become lively.
Having not slept all night, Cheng Chao took care of the things Cheng Zhuo had asked him to do early in the morning. He was also curious about what Jian Dan had done on the radio. He had already changed his clothes and put on makeup, and was now mingling in the crowd watching the excitement.
Led by someone, a group of people stormed into the Cheng family home and headed straight for Cheng Zhuo and his wife's room. Cheng Chao couldn't see the details clearly from the outside, but he could imagine how arrogant they were at that moment.
Sure enough, less than a minute later, someone came out, holding the "evidence" they had placed beforehand. Their faces beamed with undisguised joy, and their words were full of regret.
"Oh dear, who would have thought that Lao Cheng would be this kind of person? All these years, I didn't even notice. I've failed in my duty."
Cheng Chao almost burst out laughing. This was what they called wanting to be a prostitute while also wanting to maintain a virtuous image, wasn't it? Doing both and pretending to be virtuous at the same time, he was quite pleased with himself.
Their true colors were too obvious. Among the crowd were soldiers and their families. Some echoed their sentiments, while others cursed under their breath. Among them were families that Cheng Zhuo and Tang Sumei were on good terms with.
Cheng Chao didn't think that Jian Dan would really return it as is. The most likely scenario was that he would tamper with the note. So he followed the person directly to Cheng Zhuo's "interrogation" site.
There were quite a few people at the scene. The leaders of the military region, both big and small, all had gloomy faces. After so many years of getting along, they knew each other inside and out. This sudden turn of events made everyone wonder.
Cheng Zhuo remained calm, admitting what he should and could admit, and outright denying what he couldn't admit.
The other party seemed very anxious, offering no excuses or lengthy explanations. It was clear that they had already been convicted before they arrived, and this was simply a concrete confirmation to leave no room for argument.
Less than half an hour into the proceedings, the verdict was delivered: exile to a rural area in Northeast China, a situation commonly known as "being sent down to the countryside."
They were clearly in a hurry, saying that someone would escort them to the train station early the next morning, and then a special person would escort them to a designated location.
Cheng Chao frowned, puzzled. This person was so focused on bringing Cheng Zhuo down, yet he didn't kill him outright. Why was he in such a hurry to send him away?
Is there something you can't let your second uncle know?
Or am I still afraid to let him know?
In contrast, Cheng Zhuo remained calm upon hearing the verdict, his gaze sweeping evenly over the room as if he were accepting a routine task.
"good."
Seeing that the situation was settled, the people at the head of the table breathed a sigh of relief. They then carefully examined the evidence they had just seen and quickly pulled out a small piece of paper from a hidden spot below.
The group exchanged glances.
"Open it?"
The man who had spoken so enthusiastically earlier quickly grabbed it.
"Let's see if Old Cheng has any unfulfilled wishes; perhaps we can help him fulfill them,"
The note had few words on it, and it could be read at a glance. He was the one who was stunned and remained silent for a long time.
The people around didn't think much of it; they were only focused on currying favor with the new leader. They pulled out the note and read it aloud in front of everyone.
"This item was seized during the Lianshan Liberation Campaign in ** year. Seized by: Cheng Zhuo. This is to certify."
Below is the official seal of the Party organization in Lianshan at that time. The paper is old and worn, and even the bright red seal has an ancient and desolate feel, with only clear handwriting and creases from years of accumulation remaining.
