"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!" He Yuanhang's imposing manner left He Jingcheng speechless.
However, by the time they reached the station, Qiao Manman had just boarded the train. They were separated by only two minutes.
The system did remind Qiao Manman, but she didn't want to acknowledge this uncle, thinking it was stupid, so she grabbed Xia Zhao and ran away.
The train chugged forward, and He Jingcheng looked at the empty tracks, feeling like crying.
He turned his head and complained, "Why didn't you drive faster? It was only two minutes!"
He Yuanhang remained silent, only slightly narrowing his eyes, which sent a chill down He Jingcheng's spine, making his neck feel cold.
He immediately slid to his knees and said, "I was wrong, I was wrong. I was simple-minded. Comrade He, please don't hold it against me!"
He Yuanhang straightened his hat, glancing at his briefcase: "Who are you trying to embarrass!"
After saying that, he walked away without looking back.
He Jingcheng, on the other hand, was unwilling to lose his niece while also fearing being left behind by He Yuanhang.
After being caught in a dilemma for a while, I finally jogged to catch up.
"Comrade He, wait for me!"
On the train, Xia Zhao noticed Qiao Manman looking out the window and asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"
"What a beautiful view!" Qiao Manman sat up straight and asked with a smile, "Would you like something to eat?"
In such a rush, I didn't even have time for a farewell meal at the state-run restaurant. It's such a shame, considering I've finally made it to the southernmost part of our country!
Xia Zhao lowered his head: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I won't say anything next time!"
"Hey, what are you doing? If you didn't eat in Guangdong, why don't you go to Zhejiang? I heard their West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce is really famous!"
Xia Zhao nodded: "I'll treat you then!"
Qiao Manman waved her hand: "No, no, no, you call me sister-in-law, so I'm older than you. Just listen to my arrangements when we're out and about, and don't leave any food uneaten!"
"I understand, sister-in-law!"
Qiao Manman could hardly hold it in anymore, so she turned her head to the side so that she wouldn't see her twitching lips.

In Yang County, Zhao Laoniang once again went to the Public Security Bureau to demand an explanation from Meng Peiyu.
There is no direct evidence that she committed murder, but she cannot explain why she lived so close to Zhao Laogen.
The situation has reached a stalemate.
Director Zhang wasn't in a hurry; he locked the man up and even provided him with three meals a day.
Meng Peiyu couldn't stand it; she felt like she was going to rot away.
Meng Shanshan was even worse off; she had come here for a blind date and marriage, but she was actually detained in the police station and not even allowed to leave the house.
Not daring to vent her anger on Meng Peiyu, she muttered under her breath in the corner, "It was clearly Meng Peiyu who committed the crime, so why am I being held responsible? Couldn't they have called that Chen guy over to serve his wife?"
Ha, that's really impossible! Putting aside Chen Junyan's life-and-death experiences on the battlefield, even without this incident, Brigade Commander He would never have allowed someone to interfere with judicial fairness.
Someone was watching their every move from the shadows. Meng Peiyu impatiently emphasized to Zhao Laoniang, "I'll say it again, I didn't kill him!"
"Impossible. My husband appeared to me in a dream yesterday and said that you were the one who harmed him. You stabbed him in the chest with a knife."
He just said a few flippant words; you didn't lose anything. At worst, you could call the police. How could you be so heartless as to kill him?
Meng Peiyu's eyes flickered, wondering how she knew? But the long "prison" experience had greatly improved her mental fortitude; no matter how much Old Lady Zhao threw a tantrum, she simply said, "I don't know!"
When they get annoyed, they'll add, "I didn't even question him for stalking me. He was already being lenient by trying to harm me. Why should I take responsibility for him? You guys are so ridiculous!"
Director Zhang asked the same old question: "Why did you go to Daqingshan?"
"Daqingshan, Daqingshan, what else can you say besides Daqingshan?" Meng Peiyu slammed the table: "What's wrong with me going? Who says military wives can't go to Daqingshan?"
"I heard that Commander Chen's previous mission location was also in Daqingshan."
Director Zhang started the conversation, then abruptly changed the subject: "Comrade Meng, you probably don't know yet, but something has happened to your family!"
Meng Peiyu's heart skipped a beat, but she remained outwardly calm: "What is it?"
"Your dad was sleeping with your nanny when your mom caught them in bed together. In a fit of rage, she chopped down his 'weapon'."
Your sister was sent to the countryside, and your brother was sent to the remote Northwest for labor reform along with your parents. They're probably having a hard time now!
"What?" If her leg hadn't been injured, she would have grabbed Director Zhang by the collar and asked him if it was true.
"It's already spread in Kyoto. We only found out about it after a lot of trouble."
I actually found out the next day, but I kept it to myself, not wanting to threaten her with information about her parents.
But things still needed to be resolved. After discussing it with Brigade Commander He, they decided to use this to provoke Meng Peiyu, hoping to get some unusual information.
If they really can't get anything out of them, they can only accept their fate and release the person.
Sure enough, Meng Peiyu broke down: "Impossible, how could Wanwan do such a shameless thing? Uncle Zhong was hoping she would marry a promising young man and change her family's fortunes."
"It is said that your father raped Li Wanwan while drunk."
"My parents have been loving and devoted to each other for many years. How could they possibly be seduced by a young girl?"
"That's the truth, there's no need to argue. I only told you this because I felt sorry for you, being locked up here and unable to help you at all."
"Where are my uncle and aunt, and my aunt and uncle?"
"They've already published a notice in the newspaper severing ties with your family!"
Meng Peiyu closed her eyes briefly: "Where did Linyu go to work in the countryside?"
"Northeast China, Hanshangang Production Team. It's not far from your unit; it only takes three or four hours to get there by bike!"
Upon hearing the name from her past life, Meng Peiyu panicked: "Let me out! Let me out! Lin Yu can't go to Hanshan Ridge! Let me out!"
"Like I said, you can't leave until everything is explained clearly!"
Meng Peiyu gritted her teeth: "I'll say it, but you have to promise to transfer Linyu to another place!"
Director Zhang nodded: "Okay!"
He gestured to his subordinates with his eyes to go out and make the arrangements.
Meng Peiyu took a deep breath: "I heard there's a treasure cave on Daqing Mountain. I want to find it and hand it over to the troops to increase Junyan's merit!"
Even when at a disadvantage, Meng Peiyu kept her mouth shut, trying her best not to give anyone any leverage against her.
Before Director Zhang could speak, a junior police officer next to him interjected, "You?"
Although the word "then" is missing, it's not hard to hear the disdain and contempt in the other person's tone.
Meng Peiyu thought to herself, what's wrong with her? She has a system and resources, she's no worse off than others.
Director Zhang asked with a serious expression, "Who told you there was treasure in the mountains?"
Meng Peiyu couldn't pin the blame on Chen Junyan, so she sighed and said, "It was the former deputy brigade commander's wife who accidentally revealed it!"
Director Zhang neither said he believed it nor disbelieved it. He sat lazily in his chair and asked, "Didn't you ever think about keeping the treasure for yourself?"
"Director Zhang, what are you joking about? I'm a military wife, how could I do such a despicable thing!"
