402 Entering the Air Raid Shelter

The group followed Xiao Lu to the air-raid shelter.

After Zhang Jingan and the others left, he said to Su Taotao: "This is most likely true. We have to think of a proper solution."

Zhang Jing'an has lived two lives, from the military to the public security, and has seen all kinds of people. As long as a person is not a professionally trained agent, he can guess whether he is lying by judging by body language.

He thought he could understand people's minds. Except for Su Taotao sitting opposite him, whom he could not understand for the time being, he thought everyone else was easy to understand.

Su Taotao nodded and said, "I think so too. It's not a big problem. If there is a dispute, just resolve it. By the way, how is your relationship with the new Secretary Zhou?"

She and Zhang Jing'an are grasshoppers on the same rope. Since they are partners, they should discuss and solve the problem together.

"I've met him a few times, and he's a nice person. He's not as smooth and thoughtful as Secretary Zhao, but he's a man who gets things done." Zhang Jing'an told the truth.

Su Taotao nodded: "Then you can make some connections and ask him to verify the identities of these people. Then we can arrange a time to sit down and have a good talk among the three of us."

Zhang Jing'an had no objection and said, "I'm afraid that if the deed is really in the air-raid shelter, they will come and cause trouble soon, leaving us no time to recover."

Su Taotao thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide this matter, so she said, "The title deed is indeed in the air-raid shelter."

Zhang Jingan: "Then should I call Secretary Zhou now to explain the situation? Ask him to come over?"

Su Taotao shook her head and said, "Before the factory was built, Lao Gao found the land deed and it is in my hands now."

Zhang Jing'an looked at her in astonishment, but soon realized that it was impossible to tell the truth under the circumstances just now. It would take a while for him to come up with a plan, and he didn't know how to argue. They really needed some time to buffer.

Su Taotao said: "At that time, it should have been handed over directly to Secretary Zhao, but Secretary Zhao left suddenly, and it was delayed until now. Now we have to first figure out the identities of these people. I didn't say that at the time as a temporary measure. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry."

Zhang Jingan understood: "I understand, leave this matter to me."

It's a good thing that Su Taotao is willing to be frank with him, showing that she really has begun to trust him as a partner.

Su Taotao took a sip of water and continued, "There is another mystery. I have a total of 18 land deeds, but they all belong to the same person, not to different households as they said.

Therefore, we still don’t know whether this piece of land belongs to a certain big landowner personally, was confiscated because no one could be found, or there is some other hidden story.

It was a long time ago, and land reform took place during that time, so it may be difficult to verify. If possible, please check it carefully."

Zhang Jingan: "I understand. Can you show me the deeds first?"

Su Taotao nodded: "Of course you can, but it's not here. I'll show it to you later."

"Okay." Zhang Jing'an nodded.

"By the way, is everything okay at home?" Zhang Jing'an asked again.

Su Taotao nodded: "Everything is fine."

She should have helped ask about Zhang Jingan's family situation, but she forgot, embarrassing.

This was a rare calm conversation between them, although the atmosphere was a little awkward.

After a while, Zhang Jingan broke the silence: "I'll go and tell Secretary Zhou first."

Su Taotao nodded and made a "go ahead" gesture.

After Zhang Jing'an left, Su Taotao was stunned for a while.

Zhang Jing'an might be a good person to be an ordinary colleague.

Xiao Lu led his men to the air-raid shelter.

"Send two representatives in. Don't rush in all at once. We have a lot of stuff inside."

Everyone agreed, and the oldest man named two people to follow Xiao Lu.

“Do you remember the location?”

One of them said, "I have some impression, but after all, so many years have passed, I'm not sure which brick it was. I'll just knock on each brick one by one."

The old man shook his head: "That's too slow."

"Who of you remembers?" the old man turned around and asked.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They couldn't even remember the door, let alone the bricks inside.

The old man waved his hand and said, "Forget it, go ahead. If it doesn't work, we can only use the dumbest method."

"We have put a lot of things in there. You can look for them, but please be careful," said Xiao Lu.

"Don't worry, I know."

…

The two followed Xiao Lu in and almost fainted when they saw the dazzling array of items in the warehouse.

One person said, "You put so many things here, how can we find them?"

Xiao Lu sighed and said, “Let me tell you this, before we decided to build the factory here, this place had been occupied by bandits for who knows how many years.

You even looked carefully at our packaging bags, but didn't you read the newspaper? The lair of the huge criminal gang we busted before was right here."

The two looked at each other and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.

Xiao Lu paused and stepped on the floor. "Bandits have lived here, police have been here, construction workers have worked here... I'm afraid the ground has been dug deep, so there's no way anything can be hidden here.

Even the bricks on the wall were damaged a lot before and have been repaired. "

Xiao Lu pointed upwards and said, "This is probably the only roof that has not been touched."

The two of them gritted their teeth and said, "Thank you for letting me know. Let's start looking."

Xiao Lu sat down on a chair beside him, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes. "Go ahead and look for it. I'll take a nap first. Just be quiet and don't disturb me from getting off work on time."

Both of them: "..."
