Chapter 666: 666 arrives
Zhang Chunsheng heard Su Yuanyuan’s voice, and his heart was filled with joy.
"Okay, I’ll drive over to pick you up right now."
After Su Yuanyuan put down the phone, she led the way. "My house isn’t close to here; let’s go."
"Yuanyuan, this is my first time in the capital," Zeng Hongling said with a smile.
Actually, she wanted to say, she didn’t find the capital that great.
Of course, Su Yuanyuan knew that none of the four of them had been to the capital before.
"Hmm, when I have time, I’ll show you around the capital. Honestly, I don’t know much either."
It took the five of them half an hour to reach home. It had been nearly a year since anyone lived there. The furniture in the house was covered with dust.
"Yuanyuan, your house is really beautiful. It looks quite grand."
Zhan Yunzhao’s occupational habit kicked in; he also had some knowledge of feng shui.
But he just couldn’t figure it out, and started wandering around the yard perplexedly, but had no clue at all.
The others watched his movements without speaking, each doing their own thing.
"I’ll trouble you all with the cleaning while I go out to buy some groceries; there’s nothing to eat at home."
"Don’t worry, leave it to us," Zeng Hongling said with a smile.
Even though Su Yuanyuan was anxious, she had to settle the four of them first.
So she took out her bicycle and headed to the grain station, where she bought fifty kilograms of rice and fifty kilograms of white flour. She also bought some noodles, millet, sorghum, red beans, and green beans.
She hurriedly delivered them home and also needed to prepare side dishes.
Wei Guangxiang brought everything into the kitchen, and Su Yuanyuan went out again.
By this time Zhang Chunsheng had also arrived, smiling as he entered the yard, and saw a strange man wandering around.
Zhan Yunzhao also saw Zhang Chunsheng, and the two locked eyes.
"Who are you? Where’s Su Yuanyuan?"
"Xiao Su went to buy something, we’re her friends."
At this moment, Wei Guangxiang and Zeng Yixin also came out.
Zeng Hongling was the last to come out. Zhan Yunzhao didn’t know Zhang Chunsheng’s identity, and the other three, though unsure, knew he was wearing a uniform.
"Comrade, you’re the one Yuanyuan called over just now? But you’ll have to wait a bit, Yuanyuan should be back soon." The three men were silent, leaving Zeng Hongling to speak.
Zhang Chunsheng and Zhou Cong stood in the yard, "Yes, I’m the one Su Yuanyuan called. What did she go to do?"
"We came together, she’s preparing food for us. She just brought back some grains, probably went to buy some side dishes.
We haven’t finished cleaning yet, just wait for Yuanyuan."
After that, the three of them continued cleaning. With so many rooms, of course each person had one, and the kitchen and side rooms also needed to be tidied. There was still a lot of work to do.
After about fifteen minutes, Su Yuanyuan returned. This time, she brought back an even greater variety of goods.
Zhou Cong hurried over to help push the bike.
"Thanks, Xiao Zhou."
"Big, Xiao Su, there’s no need for such courtesy."
At this moment, Zhang Chunsheng also came over. The three people cleaning inside also came out.
"Hongling, later someone will come to deliver coal and cabbage. If you need anything else, you can check the supply and marketing cooperative and the big building outside.
I have to leave first. Two streets over is a very authentic soybean paste noodle restaurant. You should try it later.
Here are the tickets for this place. Take them."
Zhou Cong listened to his sister-in-law’s instructions and immediately took out Su Yuanyuan’s tickets for the year, all stored in an envelope.
"Xiao Su, these are your tickets for the year."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, took them, and handed them to Zeng Hongling.
"I have to leave now. Here’s the key, you can go out and wander around on your own."
She didn’t give Zeng Hongling a chance to speak, and after Su Yuanyuan finished speaking, Zeng Hongling finally got a chance to say, "Yuanyuan, don’t worry. We’re all adults. When will you be back?"
"I don’t know, but I’ll be back as soon as possible."
Under the watchful eyes of the four, Su Yuanyuan got in the car and left.
They then closed the door and continued tidying up. The winters here were still very cold. Although the fire was lit, it wasn’t warming up quickly.
"Take me directly to see the assistant."
"Okay, let me brief you on the situation here."
Zhang Chunsheng went through the whole story.
Zhou Cong drove straight to where Huo Zhiqiang was being held.
They also had to undergo checks to get in.
Su Yuanyuan took out her work ID, which surprised the guards, well, this was the legendary person.
Zhang Chunsheng had the authority to interrogate Huo Zhiqiang, so he had someone inform Daqing.
Daqing, upon seeing Zhou Cong who had come along,
the two got together, and Zhou Cong quietly said, "Sister-in-law is back."
Daqing’s eyes lit up with a smile. He knew that sister-in-law would be back any day now.
Now he felt more confident and went personally to interrogate Huo Zhiqiang.
Zhang Chunsheng and Su Yuanyuan sat down, quietly discussing the questions to ask later.
When they heard a noise, they stopped. Daqing entered and nodded at Su Yuanyuan.
Huo Zhiqiang, seeing the woman opposite, his pupils contracted. He knew who Su Yuanyuan was and knew she was truly valued by the leadership.
Su Yuanyuan was observing Huo Zhiqiang, and seeing his expression, knew she would get the information she wanted today.
Daqing stood directly behind Su Yuanyuan, giving the impression of a bodyguard.
As always, others would question while Su Yuanyuan listened to the side.
The more nervous and afraid Huo Zhiqiang was, the more thoughts he had, the more Su Yuanyuan knew.
Zhang Chunsheng asked several sharp questions. Huo Zhiqiang just hung his head in silence.
However, Su Yuanyuan already knew what she needed to know.
She was very angry, "Not talking? Daqing, you’ve lost your edge."
"Yes, I didn’t handle it well this time."
"From now on, have someone question him 24 hours nonstop. Even if he doesn’t talk, it doesn’t matter. I believe in your methods.
Don’t be afraid, I’ll cover any issues, as long as he’s still breathing.
If we’re still at a loss, do as I did with Hou Wanzhong."
Su Yuanyuan stood up, and Zhang Chunsheng knew she had run out of patience.
"Who else is at home?"
"Da Yang should be back today."
"Let Da Yang come over, and get Daqing to work with him. If he talks, get five identical confessions. If they’re inconsistent, take action."
Huo Zhiqiang never expected a woman to use such ruthless methods.
"Xiao Su, someone will try to stop you."
"Stop? Throw them out, we’ll take over from now on. Anyone dissatisfied can file a complaint."
