"You've been following this lead all along!"
The group packed their things, went downstairs, and got into Director Zhang's car.
Director Zhang immediately stepped on the gas pedal.
All green lights all the way.
Because Zhang Mei's home is relatively remote, there are quite a few dirt roads along the way.
Finally, in a place resembling a shantytown, the group arrived at their destination.
The low, flat-roofed houses on the uneven ground had an unpleasant smell in the air.
Garbage is everywhere, and the elderly, weak, sick, and widowed pass by from time to time.
This is the scene that Shen Qingran saw when she got out of the car.
Several elderly men and women sitting at the intersection saw that the people getting off were police officers in white uniforms and were about to pick up their stools and leave.
Director Zhang, quick-witted and agile, ran over and said, "Fellow villagers, don't go!"
The old man and the two old women were about to get up, but they abruptly turned back around.
There's no way around it, I'm too old to run anymore!
Besides, these are police officers in uniform.
The old man, fanning himself with a worn-out palm-leaf fan, said directly, "Hello, sir!"
Director Zhang waved his hand: "Sir, don't talk about being an officer or not. We are all serving the people!"
The old man, his face full of wrinkles, revealed a single front tooth and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, it's all about service!"
The other two elderly women, dressed in tattered clothes, had no choice but to sit back down.
Several people followed the old man by the roadside, trying to get information.
Xiao Xu and Xiao Zhang followed silently behind.
Shen Qingran looked around at the surroundings.
Having grown up in such an environment and from such a family background, would Zhang Mei be willing to buy it?
Shen Qingran confirmed her previous doubts.
That's right!
Something unusual must be going on!
"Sir, there's been an accident involving a girl here, did you know?"
The old man looked at Director Zhang and shouted with difficulty, "Huh? What did you say? You're a member of the Eighth Route Army?"
Helpless, Director Zhang had no choice but to repeat himself: "A girl had an accident, it's Zhang Mei, you know?"
Old man: "What did you say? Your mother is getting married?"
Director Zhang was helpless.
Behind them, Xiao Xu and Xiao Zhang were already trying to suppress their laughter.
This is completely irrelevant and utterly unrelated!
You say your piece, I'll say mine.
Director Zhang looked at the old man in front of him. Didn't he say before that he was serving the people?
This suddenly turned into talking nonsense.
There's really nothing we can do.
The old man, seeing that Director Zhang remained silent, grew anxious.
"Your mother is getting married, but who is she going to marry?"
"I'm still single now, and I've lost my partner. Do you think I'm suitable?"
With a "pfft".
The arrogant man behind him burst out laughing.
Director Zhang glanced back, and Xiao Zhang immediately turned his head away as if nothing had happened.
This old man is hilarious!
Xiao Zhang covered his mouth, trying hard to suppress his laughter.
Xiao Xu lowered his head, trying to suppress a laugh.
Shen Qingran observed the expressions on the old man and woman's faces.
It was obvious that the old man didn't want to talk.
When Director Zhang first asked, his response was to serve the people.
That makes it quite obvious that the old man's hearing should be fine.
But let's say it this way now.
Isn't this just beating around the bush?
Shen Qingran then walked over to the two elderly women fanning the air beside her.
While everyone was distracted, Shen Qingran took out a few White Rabbit milk candies from her spatial storage.
"Auntie, could you help me identify this?" (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
