Chapter 132 Work
He Yong'an looked at Feng Qingqing carefully and saw that she was no different from before. Then he told Feng Qingqing in detail about his whereabouts over the past few days.
It turned out that after He Yong'an had been monitoring Sun Tianming for two consecutive nights, he encountered the abnormality at the lumber mill again on the third night. This time, He Yong'an learned from the lesson of the night before and acted quickly. When he saw that something was wrong, he immediately rushed to the police station, accompanied by seven or eight police officers.
The police were very efficient this time. Although they hadn't accompanied He Yong'an to monitor Sun Tianming these past few days, they had paid close attention to the matter. The police station had also made corresponding arrangements, which is why He Yong'an was able to arrive at the police station as soon as possible, and the station immediately dispatched enough people to accompany him to the lumber mill.
After arriving at the timber yard, the group of several people found that the loading vehicles had not yet been installed. The police officers divided the work: two continued to keep a close watch on the scene, while the other two split into two teams. One team followed the loading and unloading of the vehicles, and the other team followed Sun Tianming and Li Zhengshun.
The police originally thought that this time they might be investigating cases of internal buying and selling of timber and embezzlement of state-owned assets, but they never expected that it would turn out to be a major case.
Two police officers who were tracking the truck discovered that the driver had driven to a certain place first. The police officers noticed that something was wrong with the loading and unloading personnel. They first looked around and then carefully loaded several boxes onto the truck. The boxes were very heavy, which could be seen from the driver who was carrying them.
Seeing this, the two police officers looked shocked, but they did not alert the suspects. Instead, they waited until the suspects finished loading the boxes, covered them with a black cloth, and then drove to another location to load ordinary timber from a lumberyard.
The final result was that the seven or eight police officers who came took the whole group, including Sun Tianming, Li Zhengshun, the driver, and the porters, into the police station.
Police at the scene contacted the timber factory leaders. After the ordinary timber was unloaded, they opened several boxes covered with black cloth at the bottom and found that they were full of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, and letters from famous people.
The police were shocked by what they found. They had never expected that the box contained such a deadly item. They immediately reported the case to their superiors. The case is now being handled by the city government, and a special task force has been assigned by the province to oversee the process.
The task force members verbally commended everyone who discovered the case in time. They were especially surprised to learn that the discoverer was an ordinary member of the brigade. However, because the investigation was not yet over, the case was not made public. After giving his statement at the police station, He Yong'an immediately rushed back to the Lanshan Brigade.
After He Yong'an explained everything about his trip to the lumber mill, it was already late. Knowing that He Yong'an had worked hard these past few days, Feng Qingqing prepared dinner and cooked a nice meal so that He Yong'an could eat before going back to rest.
Seeing Feng Qingqing cooking, He Yong'an spontaneously started chopping firewood in the yard.
After a moment's thought, Feng Qingqing decided to cook three dishes for dinner: stir-fried cured pork with garlic sprouts, lotus root balls fried yesterday, and stir-fried green peppers with eggs. These three dishes were all hearty dishes. She also cooked mixed grain rice, the kind with more rice and less mixed grains.
Feng Qingqing is now very skilled at cooking. She first washed and chopped all the vegetables and then plated them. Then she asked He Yong'an to come and light the fire while she cooked the vegetables on the stove. The two chatted as they cooked, creating a harmonious and warm atmosphere.
About forty minutes later, the food was ready and set on the table. The two ate in the courtyard as usual. He Yong'an had not eaten such delicious food for a long time, especially the dishes made by Feng Qingqing. Not only did they look good, but the taste also pleased He Yong'an.
He Yong'an has a preference for spicy food and can't live without it. Stir-fried cured pork with garlic sprouts and stir-fried eggs with chili peppers were just what he wanted. After a whirlwind of eating, he finished all the food and patted his slightly bulging belly with a satisfied look on his face.
After finishing their meal, He Yong'an continued the previous conversation, asking Feng Qingqing:
"Qingqing, this case involves a lot of people, and there should be a reward after the final verdict."
He spoke while pondering:
"As I was leaving, a staff member from the county public security bureau hinted to me that I could make any requests, and they would be met within the normal scope."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qingqing's eyes lit up. After pondering for a few minutes, she spoke to He Yong'an:
What are your own thoughts?
He Yong'an frowned, and after a long while, he said:
"I want to apply for a job in the county town. With a job, my future life will be secure."
He Yong'an pondered to himself that although Feng Qingqing had no close relatives in the city, she had grown up in the city and probably still liked city life.
Hearing him say this, Feng Qingqing nodded before speaking:
"If this is your true thought, then I support you."
After saying this, Feng Qingqing glanced at He Yong'an, then said somewhat uncertainly:
Have you considered specific positions?
Speaking of this, He Yong'an scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said:
"I haven't thought about it yet, and as you know, I've never had a proper education and I don't have a diploma, so I'm afraid I can't choose which one to pick."
Feng Qingqing had considered this matter before, so it was only natural for her to bring it up now.
"Yes, that is indeed a problem. What I mean is that you should continue studying, borrow the elementary and middle school textbooks and study hard, then take the school's graduation exam. If you pass the exam, you can naturally get your graduation certificate."
He Yong'an hadn't looked into this kind of information before, and upon hearing it, his eyes widened as he said:
"this is okay too?"
Feng Qingqing nodded. She had heard from others in the team that this was how it was done, and He Yong'an was from the village and had made a great contribution this time, so she figured there shouldn't be any problems.
The two discussed some more matters, and seeing that it was getting late, Feng Qingqing told He Yong'an to hurry back.
He Yong'an was also tired, but for some reason, he glanced at Feng Qingqing a few times before leaving, but ultimately didn't dare to say it.
Feng Qingqing didn't pay much attention to that; her mind was focused on He Yong'an's work. He Yong'an's job was a huge opportunity for the two of them, and she was figuring out how to make the best use of it.
On his way back from the clinic, He Yong'an felt slightly discouraged.
Just now, when he was with Feng Qingqing, he wanted to talk to her about when they could get married. Although they had only just publicly announced that they were dating, they were different after all. They had memories from a lifetime together and didn't need those formalities.
But seeing Feng Qingqing's blank and ignorant expression, he unconsciously backed down again.
He Yong'an could only console himself that perhaps it would be more appropriate to get married after he secured a job.
