Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Chapter 655: Departure, Hush Money

In the following days, all operations of the steel mill ran smoothly.

Not wanting to waste any more words with Zhang Zhu, Li Qing walked straight towards a newspaper.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhu hurriedly took a few steps back, fearing that someone would see him and Li Qing together.

Zhang Zhu looked around and his eyes finally locked on a figure.

Yan Jiefang walked stealthily in a certain direction, which made Zhang Zhu think of Zhao Song's miserable experience.

Yan Jiefang was like a madman at this time. Zhang Zhu didn't dare to approach him, for fear that Yan Jiefang would suddenly go crazy.

When Yan Jiefang disappeared into an alley, Zhang Zhu wondered curiously where he would go.

However, out of self-preservation, he did not dare to follow rashly.

"Snapped"

"What are you looking at? Come with me!"

Zhang Zhu was immersed in his own thoughts when Li Qing slapped him on the head, interrupting his train of thought.

"Li Qing, if you dare to hit me again, I will really leave you without anyone to support you when you are old!"

Zhang Zhu stared at Li Qing viciously, scaring the latter.

Seeing that Li Qing was frightened, Zhang Zhu nodded with satisfaction, snorted coldly and left.

But Li Qing thought about it and decided to follow.

"Jingru, I have to escort a batch of goods to Jilin Chuncheng tomorrow, and it may take a few days for me to come back.

Let Huairu take a leave to come back and accompany you during this period."

Cao Ming explained to his family after returning home.

A few days away is a bit long, so it is safer to let Qin Huairu come back to take care of his wife and the upcoming child.

"Brother Cao, let me pack your things for you."

Qin Jingru had no complaints after hearing this and silently supported her husband's work.

"No need, just a few clothes will be enough, and we have arranged food and lodging for the journey."

Cao Ming felt that too much preparation would be troublesome.

"You must have had a hard time on the journey, so food is very important. I happen to have some canned food and fruits at home, so take some with you on the road."

Qin Jingru insisted on preparing some things for Cao Ming, as she didn't want her husband to suffer too much.

Cao Ming did not stop him anymore since he could bring the items into the storage space anyway.

We went to bed early that night so that we could set out immediately the next morning.

Early the next morning, Cao Ming arrived at the steel rolling mill and Ye Jianxiong had already directed the loading to be completed.

Everything is ready.

Sun Zhengyu was loading the truck when he heard his leader's voice, "Director, you are finally here! I am almost too busy to handle it all!"

"Everyone is busy, don't worry."

As he said this, he winked to please his colleagues.

"Engineer Bai, I have a task for you to do. Don't let the news leak out."

After receiving the instructions, Sun Zhengyu took his men to complete the task. Bai Xinyi also said that she would abide by her promise to keep it confidential, and joked that if she didn't tell the truth, she would have to give her some benefits.

Cao Ming smiled without saying anything and handed her a small box of imported chocolates as a "bribe".

The convoy set off in the dead of night, and they were divided into groups to take turns on duty.

Cao Ming chose to trust Sun Zhengyu and another colleague, and fell asleep peacefully.

In this way, during the bumpy journey, the team gradually approached their destination, Jilin Chuncheng, waiting for the new day's mission to continue.

Lin Ruoxi looked at Su Yuan vigilantly, then put on a coat, closed her eyes and began to rest.

"Who is looking down on whom? I'm not that kind of person."

Su Yuan curled his lips and closed his eyes, preparing to take a nap.

Not long after, he suddenly opened his eyes and caught a glimpse of Lin Ruoxi leaning on his shoulder.

Her face was flushed and her eyelashes trembled with her breathing. She was obviously pretending to be asleep.

Su Yuan couldn't help laughing, and muttered to himself that he was being hypocritical, then he put his arms around her waist so that she could sleep more comfortably.

Soon, Lin Ruoxi fell into a deep sleep with a faint smile on her lips.

Seeing this, Su Yuan took off his clothes and covered her. The temperature at night was indeed different from that during the day, and he didn't want Lin Ruoxi to catch a cold.

As Lin Ruoxi leaned on his shoulder, Su Yuan only patrolled the surroundings with the "Sky Eye" in the second half of the night and did not get off the car to communicate with other team members.

It was not until the early morning that Lin Ruoxi stretched and sat up sleepily. Only then did she realize that Su Yuan had been staring at her and she immediately felt shy.

After all, he had warned her not to be frivolous last night, but she ended up being the one who relied on his shoulder the entire night.

"What's wrong? Are you sorry?"

Su Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this.

Hearing his joke, Lin Ruoxi's cheeks turned even redder. She glared at Su Yuan, then opened the car door and got out to wash up.

Seeing this, Su Yuan smiled faintly, got out of the car and chatted with Captain Zhang and other team members.

At the current speed, it will take a few more days to reach Chunyuan City, but safety is paramount, so no one complained too much.

It’s just not very convenient for Lin Ruoxi.

For men, they can just find a corner to solve the problem, but for women, it is not that easy.

Just as he was thinking about this, Lin Ruoxi came towards him with a red face, "Director, I'll go arrange the work."

When Captain Zhang saw her coming, he also found an excuse to leave.

Staff Officer Sun was stunned for a moment until Captain Zhang pulled his clothes and he reacted.

"Brother Xiong, what are you doing?"

Staff Officer Sun was still puzzled after being dragged for a distance.

"Let's arrange the work together."

Captain Zhang said helplessly.

Until the two walked away, Lin Ruoxi looked around cautiously and approached Su Yuan: "I want... to go to the bathroom... can you accompany me?"

As she spoke she almost buried her head in her arms.

Su Yuan smiled, activated the "Sky Eye" and scanned the surroundings to find a hidden place.

"Okay, come with me."

When they reached the corner, Su Yuan gentlemanly turned his back to her to give her privacy.

After a while, Lin Ruoxi completed the task, her face flushed as she sorted out her clothes and returned to Su Yuan's side, "Let's go back."

Lin Ruoxi didn't dare to look at him and walked quickly towards the convoy. Su Yuan shrugged and followed closely behind.

After returning to the car, she immediately hid in it.

Su Yuan understood that this was a girl's matter and did not make fun of her.

After the vehicle restarted, Lin Ruoxi gradually calmed down.

The next day, considering that everyone was exhausted and the girls needed to be able to take a clean bath, Su Yuan decided to take a short break and recuperate.

After starting again, Lin Ruoxi's face looked less sad.

When passing through a wilderness on the way, Su Yuan discovered some suspicious objects through the "Sky Eye" - buried mines. He looked around and found no traces of human beings, so he put the mines into the storage space and had the system recycle them in exchange for 500 yuan.

The crowd was unaware of the danger they were almost in and continued to move forward.

Although Su Yuan discovered some suspicious points, he did not deal with them in order to avoid making a fuss.

There was no problem when approaching the destination, and the delivery mission was successfully completed. Everyone could go to Chunyuan City to rest.

During the break, Lin Ruoxi took Su Yuan out for shopping, "We finally got here, how can we not take a look?"

"are not you tired?"

Su Yuan was a little surprised, but he still accompanied her.
