Back To The 80s-Chapter 179 - One Hundred and Seventy-Nine: Counter-Investigation_1
Wang Ping said in surprise, "Isn’t Instructor Guo creating problems for no reason? This family is going to be in an uproar."
Gu Xiaobei laughed: "Not necessarily. By acting this way, Instructor Guo may want to fight fire with fire."
Li Fengmei nodded: "Instructor Guo is helpless against her, and her mother-in-law surely spoils her a lot."
Xiangmin is in the hospital now, feeling restless. She told Chi Xiaoyue, "I can’t take it anymore, I have to go back, Old Guo is about to divorce me."
"What are you afraid of? You’re carrying their Guo’s family heir. What can Instructor Guo do to you?" Xiaoyue sat in the chair without even batting an eyelid.
"Why did you insist that I stay here? I don’t see any improvement in Gu Xiaobei. Instead, Xiaobei seems to be comfortably living in the family courtyard. " Xiangmin said disgruntled.
"Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I guarantee that if you stay a few more days, you will see how miserable Gu Xiaobei is," Xiaoyue said with a mysterious smile.
Xiangmin turned her face to the window and said, "I hope you don’t disappoint me."
Xiaoyue’s face darkened briefly, but soon returned to its normal expression, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Later, I will use my connections to get Xiangyang transferred back to logistics."
Xiangmin turned back and said, "No need. Old Guo would definitely disagree."
...
T City, after a bout of autumn rain, the yellow leaves on the road made squelching sounds when stepped on.
Qin Li was therefore wandering around the entrance of the police station’s road.
"Oh my god, don’t you think you’re acting very immature?" Jin Cheng rode a classic bicycle. Except for the bell, it made noise everywhere. With a "grunt", he stopped beside Qin Li.
"I didn’t expect to see an ape riding a bicycle from afar. How surprising it is you!" Qin Li retorted sarcastically. She would never admit that she was waiting for him.
Jin Cheng laughed. This girl’s words were getting sharper and sharper: "Okay, you play then, I am leaving."
"Could you give me a ride home?" Qin Li had to shamelessly ask, looking up at him.
"No, I don’t want people to misunderstand. You can run back by yourself." Jin Cheng immediately refused.
"What’s wrong with giving me a small lift?" Qin Li glared at Jin Cheng discontentedly.
Jin Cheng looked Qin Li up and down, "You’re so fat, I can’t carry you."
Qin Li was furious that he dared to say he couldn’t carry her. Her eyes turned red, she cursed angrily: "You’re such a jerk! Get lost! If I ever talk to you again... then I’m worthless." And with that, she ran into the police station.
Jin Cheng was stunned for a moment, he felt a dull pain in his heart. However, he blew his out-of-tune whistle, jumped on his bike and took off.
Jin Cheng knew someone was following him, so he whistled and rode to the town, without going home, but to an alley behind the vegetable market.
He stopped in front of a house on the street, parked his bike, and knocked on the door. It took a long time for the door to open. A head with a curly perm poked out and was surprised to see Jin Cheng, exclaiming with joy, "Oh, Chengzi, you finally came. Come in, come in. We’re just short of you to liven the place up."
Jin Cheng glanced at the end of the alley out of the corner of his eye, raised his hand exaggeratedly, twisted his hips a couple of times, and said with a laugh, "Absolutely! When it comes to discos, I am an expert." Then he followed the curly haired person into the courtyard.
The room was dark; the window was covered with burlap; the 40-watt tungsten bulb was covered with layers of red cloth, casting a dim glow.
All the tables and stools in the room were pulled to the sides, and a cassette player was playing the most popular disco music. A few men and women were dancing chaotically.
As soon as Curly entered the room, he clapped his hands: "Stop your bullshit dancing, come on, let Chengzi show us some real moves!"
Jin Cheng’s eyes sparkled as he gave a charming smile: "Watch closely! I’ll show you the real disco." He then twisted his hips, flipped his hair and glided into the middle of the room.
The men and women immediately formed a circle, laughing and following Jin Cheng’s dance moves.
After Gao Dailin finished listening to the report below, he tapped his finger lightly on the desktop, his eyebrows furrowing.
If Jin Cheng is a problem, how could he be seen through so easily? He needs to find a way to expose his true nature!
Ling Yun entered, looking at Gao Dailin’s expression, and asked, "What’s up? Did you find something?"
"It won’t be that easy. I’m thinking about whether we should let him know where we put the relics," Gao Dailin said, pointing below his office.
"No way, that’s too risky. The National Security Bureau is already watching us. Wouldn’t this be self-defeating?" Ling Yun objected.
"What he sees will only be empty boxes. Even if the police really come to search, they won’t find anything. Yes, that’s the way to do it." Gao Dailin slapped the table, stood up, and said "It’s decided then."
Ling Yun did not think this was a good idea, suggested, "Actually, even if Jin Cheng turns out to be a problem, can’t we use his identity to distract attention away from us? In a few days, let’s test the waters, and if it doesn’t work, we’ll let him go."
"We will let him go for sure, but not this time, but at the end." Gao Dailin saw these people as nothing more than pawns.
Ling Yun stopped speaking. She was also tired of living like this, and was considering a way to send her child away.
...
Meanwhile, Li Jianxin, who had been sent to protect Jin Cheng, had also returned to Shen Heng to report regarding Jin Cheng being followed.
"Jin Cheng is in great danger now, do we need to inform him?" Li Jianxin suggested.
Shen Heng narrowed his eyes. It seemed Jin Cheng was exposed, and Jin Cheng knew about it too. If they contact Jin Cheng now, it could put him at greater risk.
"You and Xiaowang follow Jin Cheng in secret. If anything unexpected happens, don’t ask for instructions, prioritize Jin Cheng’s safety." After Shen Heng fell silent for a while, he finally spoke.
"Sure, but, our team isn’t fully staffed. Are you sure you can handle it if two of us are pulled out?" Li Jianxin reminded him.
"It’s fine, the city bureau is sending people over." Shen Heng waved his hand, these were not problems. His greatest concern now was Jin Cheng’s safety.
Jin Cheng was currently the most unpredictable variable in this operation. Shen Heng lit a cigarette, watching the smoke rise, thicken, fade, and finally disperse. His mind, however, was working at breakneck speed.
"You go and check Gao Dailin’s network of relationships again, don’t miss anyone, and be quick, you have two days." Shen Heng instructed Li Jianxin.
"Alright, I’ll get on it right away." Li Jianxin immediately rose to prepare for departure.
"Wait!" Shen Heng raised his hand to stop him "Check Ling Yun’s relationship network as well. If you’re too busy, ask city bureau for help."
"Okay." Li Jianxin took the orders and left at full speed.
Shen Heng lit another cigarette, looking out of the window. Even though the rain had stopped, the sky was still overcast. The oppressiveness in the atmosphere matched the heaviness in his heart.
In his mind, he meticulously went over the operation plan again, ensuring that every possible scenario was accounted for.
...
In the evening, Lu Zhanguo still hadn’t come back, but Yuan Ye brought his mother, Qin Ximei, over.
Gu Xiaobei was a bit curious, why were these two coming over so late?
