Chapter 581 A Group of Bandits
Huo Lanci went to Wu Donglai's house and asked about the Wang family, including the life-saving grace that Platoon Leader Xu had given to the Wang family.
After hearing this, Wu Donglai sighed and said, "Back then, Wang Jianbing got drunk and fell into the water. Platoon Leader Xu saved him."
"Wang Jianbing was on the rise at the time and must have offended someone. If Platoon Leader Xu hadn't saved him, he would have died long ago, let alone the glory he later enjoyed."
"Because this matter is not very glorious, the Wang family did not explain it clearly, but there are still some people who know about it."
"However, there are only a few people left in the military camp who knew about this incident, and many have been transferred out of Beijing."
Huo Lanci nodded: "I see. In this case, Platoon Leader Xu can stay in the army for this reason?"
"I really didn't notice this. If it weren't for Comrade Xu Mingzhen, I wouldn't have any impression of this Platoon Leader Xu." Wu Donglai looked at Huo Lanci: "Is there something wrong with this person?"
Huo Lanci shook his head: "I can't explain it clearly. Everything depends on evidence."
"It's just that Platoon Leader Xu is not very capable and hasn't made many military achievements, but he has stayed in the barracks for so many years. This is a bit beyond our expectations."
Wu Donglai was silent for a moment: "Then let's investigate, including the Wang family."
If you have any questions, check them out so that you won’t be confused.
I’m afraid that if doubts are not investigated, problems will arise and that will cause trouble.
"Let Shang Xiayang and Wang Liang cooperate with you. If you need anything, just go to them." Wu Donglai thought that Huo Lanci only had a few soldiers, one of whom was his wife, who was still in confinement after giving birth.
Come to think of it, his elite team is really pitifully small.
"Looks like I have to report to the higher-ups and expand your team."
Huo Lanci quickly refused after hearing this: "Chief, it's good for us now. If we encounter any small problems, we can find Shang Xiayang and others to work together. For such a difficult problem, our group of people have fought side by side for many years and are already familiar with each other."
"We are a little uncomfortable with the sudden addition of a few people."
Wu Donglai thought that they were a group of people who were as close as wearing a pair of pants, so he didn't force it: "If you need anything, you must tell me, or you can tell your father."
"It's no use telling my dad, my direct supervisor is you." Huo Lanci refused without thinking. If he told his old father, he would definitely be ridiculed.
Therefore, he chose to report directly to his leader.
If I report to my father without going through Wu Dong, it would be a bit disrespectful to my leader.
This is not the way to behave or do things.
At his level, there is no son who reports directly to his father.
Wu Donglai glanced at Huo Lanci, and seeing his serious look, he smiled and said, "Okay, go and do your thing."
He thought it was a good idea to be cautious.
Huo Lanci returned home and found Yu Huan there.
Talking to my grandfather in the living room.
He took a look and asked, "Didn't you bring Comrade Ruoyun with you?"
Yu Huan smiled and said, "It's going to snow. Ruoyun is afraid of the cold, so it's better for her to stay at home."
He pointed to something on a cabinet not far away and said, "I brought some things for the child. Master Huo asked you to put them away when you come back."
Huo Lanci nodded, and didn't say anything to Yu Huan like it was unnecessary polite words.
They have known each other for many years, and through all the interactions, they can no longer calculate how much good things each side has taken from the other.
Xiaowu couldn't find some medicinal herbs, so he went to ask Yu Huan.
Yu Huan can definitely get it.
If Yu Huan is missing any medicinal herbs, come to Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu will definitely have it.
If I say something polite, it would be a bit hurtful.
Huo Lanci sat aside and asked with a smile: "Why did you come here today?"
"I've heard that Comrade Wan Qing has given birth to three children, but I just didn't have time to come and see them. I'll take advantage of my afternoon break to see the three children and check on your wife."
Yu Huan said, "I'm going to pick up my father-in-law and mother-in-law at the train station later."
According to the plan, they should have returned last year, but it was too cold last year, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law were not in good health and could not sit in the car for a long time, so they had to stay there for a few months to recuperate.
After learning that they could return to Beijing, the Yu family members there had already found new accommodation for them, so they had a good winter.
Seeing that Ruoyun was about to give birth, they wanted to hurry back to help.
Huo Lanci nodded: "They can temporarily live in your house after returning to Beijing. What about work? Have you arranged all this?"
"And the kids' schooling."
"Everything has been arranged. My sister-in-law is studying medicine and will go to work at the Second Hospital when she returns."
"My second brother went back to be a teacher, and my third brother is temporarily working as an accountant in the unit."
At this point, Yu Huan sighed: "Arranging a job for each family is already the best I can do."
"That's enough." Mr. Huo said slowly, "If you help too much, you'll cross the line."
"People must always stand up on their own."
In Mr. Huo's view, if every family has a job, their living expenses will not be a problem.
If we help them more, they will develop a mentality of taking it for granted, which is not desirable.
"Master Huo is right. I also took this into consideration, so I stopped helping them." Yu Huan said with a smile, "Now that we are back in Beijing and have someone to stay with, we are happier than before."
They have done what they can, and how their lives will go from now on depends on the Zhong family themselves.
"I heard that when Wan Qing gave birth, someone wanted to harm the child. Have you found out who was behind it?" Yu Huan was also shocked when he learned about this.
The military area had been cleared many times, but I never expected something like this to happen again. It was totally unexpected.
Fortunately, Yu Wanqing and the others are fine, otherwise Huo Lanci would have gone crazy.
Huo Lanci said: "We have caught them, but we haven't found out who is behind it. They were so secretive that there were no loopholes. But in the end, we ran out of clues."
"The rat hiding behind the scenes has not been caught yet. I am a little curious about who this person is."
Huo Lanci already had a suspect in mind, but now he lacked evidence. If he found no clues in the end, he would have to resort to some tricks.
"My wife is in confinement after giving birth. You'd better make more truth pills. They are not enough."
A Ci didn't bother to be polite with Yu Huan. The truth pills were indeed useful. If they could get more, their work would be much easier.
Yu Huan wanted to roll his eyes: "Do you think the truth pills are cabbages on the street and you can have as many as you want?"
"Those herbs are hard to find. I have already made truth pills out of the herbs I have. Tell your people not to come looking for me recently."
God knows, now he is a little scared when he sees Huo Lanci.
Just a bunch of bandits.
