After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Chu Jingqiu went to the police station to see Gu Weimin. When Gu Weimin heard that Chu Jingqiu was going back to the city, he was happy for her.
From Gu Weimin, Chu Jingqiu learned that the police had dug up two bodies from Cheng Baogen's ancestral grave and secretly investigated some victims.
Cheng Baogen and Du Erleng were involved in multiple crimes including murder, rape, robbery, speculation, and child trafficking.
If nothing unexpected happens, these six or seven core members will be shot, and the other gangsters will probably be sentenced to several years in prison.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed. In the evening, Chu Jingqiu went to the village and received a call. It was Tang Guoqing who told Chu Jingqiu that he would come to the educated youth point to pick her up at around six o'clock the next morning and asked her to be prepared.
On the night before returning to the city, Chu Jingqiu came to the cowshed and gave some food and daily necessities to Grandpa Wu and Uncle Ning in the cowshed, and told them that in the future, any things sent to them should be secretly delivered to them by Shi Aihong.
Early the next morning, Chu Jingqiu and her friends got up to make breakfast. After breakfast, Lin Zishan and Shi Aihong helped Chu Jingqiu pack the last few things.
Zhang Pingping also got up early and came to the educated youth site to see Chu Jingqiu off.
At around 6:10, a military truck and a jeep drove up to the educated youth site. Tang Guoqing, Mei Aoxue and several soldiers helped Chu Jingqiu load the bags and bicycles onto the military truck.
The old branch secretary Du Jianguo, as well as Da Laba, Du Yuehai and his wife, and Chunni's mother also came to see her off.
Chu Jingqiu also saw Grandpa Wu and Uncle Ning standing in the distance, secretly waving goodbye to her.
Chu Jingqiu took Jiang Jiang into the jeep. As the car drove away, she kept waving to the outside of the car until she could no longer see the crowd at the educated youth site.
The jeep was bumping along the road. Chu Jingqiu looked at the familiar scenery outside the window, her eyes moist. A whole year had passed since she traveled here.
During this year, she found the real murderer who destroyed her family and found her own love.
After going through so many hardships, he finally changed his fate and saved his relatives and lover.
Although the road ahead is confusing, she is full of hope with the support of her family and Xiao Yihan.
She gently stroked Jiang Jiang's soft fur, and her heart couldn't help but feel more anticipation for a better future.
Mei Aoxue was sitting in the co-pilot's seat. She smiled and looked back at Chu Jingqiu, "Sister-in-law, you are so lucky. Our regiment commander and Battalion Commander Qi have told us eight hundred times to take good care of you and Jiang Jiang when we come back.
I can't let you get thirsty, hungry, or tired, and he even told us to drive steadily and be safe. I've never seen Captain Xiao be so nagging."
Tang Guoqing also echoed, "That's right, sister-in-law, our team leader is really good to you. Some time ago, he went to the mall to buy you a skirt, but he was worried that it wouldn't fit you.
He specifically asked Xiaomei and I to go with him. After he made his choices, Xiaomei helped him try them on. The four of us shopped around for a whole day before we picked out two dresses and a pair of sandals for you.
I feel that shopping is more tiring than training. I am so tired that I can't even walk. If the shopping mall was not about to close, our team leader would like to continue buying clothes for you.
That night, the three of us gave him a big meal, and we were all exhausted, but he was completely fine.
Jiang Jiang glared at Tang Guoqing and yelled at him twice in dissatisfaction.
Tang Guoqing asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Jiang Jiang? Don't you recognize me? Why do you look so angry?"
"Puff..." Mei Aoxue laughed out loud, "Old Tang, you just said you were tired as a dog. Jiang Jiang must have felt that you were insulting it."
Chu Jingqiu also laughed, "You guys are praising Xiao Yihan to bits, but is he really that good? How come I don't feel that way?"
Mei Aoxue shook her head helplessly. "Sister-in-law, your question reminds me of a saying, 'One doesn't know how to appreciate the blessings they have.'"
The three of them chatted and laughed, and before they knew it, they had been driving for more than five hours. When the car passed a county town, they stopped and had a meal in a state-owned restaurant.
They, along with the ten people on the military truck, ordered a table full of dishes. A young soldier asked in confusion, "Captain, are we eating such a sumptuous meal? Isn't it over our reimbursement budget? We definitely won't be able to claim it when we get back."
Tang Guoqing looked at him as if he were a fool. "Fool, the army definitely won't reimburse us, but we have someone who will! The regiment commander said he'll cover all the expenses for taking my sister-in-law back to the city. It's a waste not to eat!"
After the meal, everyone took a short rest and then continued on their journey. After more than four hours of bumpy ride, they finally arrived in Beijing at around four o'clock in the afternoon.
The car drove directly into the army, and Mei Aoxue explained: "Sister-in-law, let's go back and report our work to the division commander first, and then we'll send you home later."
Chu Jingqiu waved her hands hurriedly, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm not in a hurry. It's just right for me to see Yihan first before going home."
Mei Aoxue looked at Chu Jingqiu and said, "Captain, you didn't know we were coming back today. We completed the mission ahead of schedule, and you must have been exhausted all day.
I'll take you to our dormitory first. You can wash up a bit, change into some nice clothes, and give him a surprise."
Chu Jingqiu nodded, "Xiaomei, thank you, you are so thoughtful. I also had this plan. The clothes I wore on the road today were for the convenience of riding in the car. I wore whatever was comfortable.
I plan to wear a skirt when I meet him. I don’t want to scare him away by looking disheveled.”
Mei Aoxue took Chu Jingqiu to her dormitory, gave her a basin of warm water, and asked her to wash herself briefly.
She took Jiang Jiang for a stroll in the yard. Chu Jingqiu flashed into the space, took a quick shower, washed her hair, and dried it with a hair dryer.
She changed into the white dress that Xiao Yihan bought for her, let her hair down halfway, only tied it into a small braid, put on some natural makeup, put on sandals, and walked out.
Mei Aoxue glanced at Chu Jingqiu in amazement and gave her a thumbs up. "Sister-in-law, you are such a stunning beauty! Even I am moved by you, let alone those grown men."
Mei Aoxue brought Chu Jingqiu and Jiang Jiang to the regiment headquarters. The two came to Xiao Yihan's office and found that there was no one in Xiao Yihan's office.
Mei Aoxue asked the soldier on duty, and he told them that Commander Xiao and Battalion Commander Qi had gone to the playground to inspect the training of the elite squad.
Mei Aoxue brought Chu Jingqiu and Jiang Jiang to the training ground.
On the green grass of the training ground, the soldiers of the elite squad stood in neat rows, listening to Xiao Yihan's instructions.
Xiao Yihan suddenly discovered that the soldiers' attention suddenly became distracted, and their eyes were staring straight behind him.
Some soldiers looked serious, standing with their chests out and their heads held high, but their lips were not idle, as they were whispering something to the soldiers next to them.
