"Section Chief, what should we do? If this falls into the wrong hands, it could cause a huge problem!"
The section chief tried to remain calm.
"I'll stay here and watch over things. Go find the train conductor and the train police officer. Hurry, or we'll be in trouble when we get to the station."
"Why!"
The train attendant was brought over quickly.
However, there are many people on the bus, and the flow of passengers is high. Although it is certain that the people are still on the bus, there are indeed no clues at the moment. Moreover, the bus has slowed down and is about to stop at the station. It is unlikely that the bus would not allow all the passengers to get off for this one thing.
The train conductor was also in a bit of a predicament.
The section chief had a stern face, and his voice, though not loud, was very firm.
"Comrade, I am an engineer at the machinery factory. These blueprints are our factory's secrets. If they are leaked, no one can bear the responsibility. We must find them today."
This tone of voice caused even the most mild-mannered flight attendants to frown, and even the simplest of them showed their disapproval.
"Tsk tsk tsk! To have this attitude even when asking for favors and still become a section chief, that's really impressive."
Simply put, it refers to the mindset of how people handle affairs in later generations. However, Qin Qinghuai and the other person strongly agreed with it. They were not the kind of people with rigid and feudal thinking. They had a more delicate grasp of human relationships and affairs.
"That's right, sister-in-law. This is their territory. If the train attendant doesn't want to help, he can just make up an excuse. Does he really think he can force the train not to open the doors?"
"Threatening people on their own turf? I wonder how powerful their backing is; how can they be so confident?"
"Yeah, yeah!"
Simple nodded in agreement.
"They can't even manage their own people, so they come on the train looking for attention."
One of our own?
Qin Qinghuai and Qin Yi exchanged a glance.
They were able to notice the secretary's unusual behavior because it was a professional habit; they would carefully observe the entire situation and environment when faced with a problem. Moreover, the other party was very discreet, and if they hadn't been watching closely, they really wouldn't have noticed.
But it's simple. She's been so lazy all this time, not even a hint of seriousness in her expression.
How did she find out?
"Wife, why do you say that?"
He casually glanced at the two of them.
"Are you trying to trick me? Still pretending?"
Don't tell me such an obvious flaw was missed by two people from your respective fields.
Qin Qinghuai felt his heart pounding. How should I put it?
It's that feeling of constantly discovering surprises. Nothing can make him more satisfied than being in sync with his wife. His heart aches with a bittersweet feeling, and his gaze softens as he looks at the simple woman.
Qin Yi, standing to the side, was a little confused. He only managed to say a couple of sentences: "My brother is... in heat already?"
However, the matter wasn't over yet either; the section chief was still arguing vehemently and maintaining a tough stance.
"No, we must find it. It's a secret of the machinery factory, concerning its future and the country's development. If something goes wrong and damages national interests, you can't bear the responsibility."
The train conductor was already showing signs of impatience. The situation hadn't been clarified, and the truth wasn't certain, yet they wouldn't stop the train and were forcefully preventing passengers from disembarking. The surrounding passengers were becoming increasingly agitated.
"Comrade, I've made myself very clear. I've already notified my superiors, and they will come to handle it immediately. You can tell me if you want to call the police or if you have any other requests, but right now, please make way. If you don't get off, the other passengers will also have to get off."
Before he could say anything more, the train conductor didn't hold back.
"Comrade, we can cooperate with you to recover the stolen property, but please understand that it is our duty to prevent the loss of state property."
However, it is your own responsibility to take good care of your belongings. You don't need to rush to shift the responsibility onto our train. With that time and energy, you might as well check yourself first. You might find something unexpected.
Everyone has a responsibility to protect national interests. If something is truly stolen, we will naturally not stand idly by and will do everything in our power to recover the losses for the country.
As they were talking, the train conductor arrived with his men. The train attendant breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and whispered the situation to them, then hurried back to the door to stand guard. The train was about to enter the station, and he still had to explain things to the passengers.
The train conductor led his team to the scene of the incident. Just as he was about to ask about the situation, he turned his head and froze, then burst into laughter.
"Xiao Yi? I'm not seeing things, am I? It's you, kid."
Qin Yi extended his fist and bumped into the other person.
"Fifth Brother, I didn't expect to actually run into you. Are you involved in this line now?"
"Haha, isn't that right?"
Hey kid, I heard you got transferred. How's it going at your new place?
By the way, are you still with the boss? How's he? Is he alright?
Qin Yi chuckled.
"Fifth Brother, is it so secluded? I feel like you're living in some remote mountain valley."
"Go away, go away, it's all because of my father. He's angry with me for not getting married. He won't tell me anything, and he won't let anyone else tell me either."
After he had finished mocking them, Qin Yi stepped aside.
"I knew you wouldn't trust me. See for yourself!"
Qin Qinghuai stood up with a smile.
"Fifth Brother!"
The fifth brother's eyes lit up with even greater surprise; he looked him up and down, and his eyes even welled up with tears.
"Boss, you're alright, that's so good, so good!"
At this point, the section chief behind him became unhappy.
"Train conductor, my matter hasn't been resolved yet. Where are my blueprints? Every second counts, increasing the danger. You're maliciously delaying, blurring the lines between public and private matters, and wasting my precious time trying to recover state property."
