Chapter 112 Returning Home (38)
Just as Tong Jia, Tao Junle and Yang Jixia were sitting idly in the conference room waiting for Pan Meiying's call or arrival, Pan Meiying, who had changed her clothes, was listening to the movements in the conference room in her room with headphones.
After hearing that Yang Jixia was scolded by Tong Jia and no sound came out of the headphones, Pan Meiying quietly opened the door of the middle conference room.
In fact, the conference room where Tong Jia and the others are now is not the largest one, but the locked one in the middle.
Because this conference room has a unique space, the actual area is not limited to the interior of the conference room.
Opening the conference room in the middle, it is indeed not much different from the other conference rooms. There are tables and chairs in a circle, but there is a microphone in the center of the table. When you press the microphone, the wall near the stairs will slowly move away, revealing a staircase.
Going up the stairs is a hidden attic.
The reason why this attic is hidden is that its existence cannot be detected from the outside.
It is not actually accurate to call it an attic, because the entire floor is included. It’s just that because it has a pointed roof, the top floor is lower than the other floors. Everyone assumes that this is caused by leveling the pointed roof, and no one thinks that there is another floor above it.
In fact, the staircase is hidden in the middle meeting room.
The entire first floor is divided into different small rooms. Those who sleep in the large conference room at night work here during the day.
This is a hidden monitoring room, a central control center specifically used to monitor the situation of officials and wealthy businessmen throughout the provincial capital.
The monitoring equipment in Pan Mei's studio is used to monitor the status of the entire provincial government.
This is not the most important thing. In addition to serving as the monitoring center, this floor also has another purpose. There is an elevator in the most hidden location that goes directly to the second underground floor.
It is well known that the provincial government office building has a first underground floor, but few people know that it has a second underground floor.
There is no elevator from the first underground floor to the second underground floor. Apart from an external entrance on the truck convoy side, the only internal entrance is here, and it is directly accessible by elevator.
After taking the elevator to the second underground floor, the first thing you see is two material storage warehouses, one for daily necessities and the other for medical supplies, as well as a small amount of ammunition.
This amount of ammunition is not enough for self-defense, but it is more than enough to blow up the entire provincial government.
After passing two warehouses, there are four interrogation rooms and a staircase. Going down the stairs, the low underground third floor is the dungeon.
After Yang Jidong and his team searched the streets and screened the people, all those they thought were suspicious were locked up here.
After Pan Meiying entered the conference room in the middle, she went straight to the dungeon. Looking at Yang Jidong lying half-dead on the ground, she showed an especially creepy smile.
An hour later, Tong Jia was sitting in a chair with her back against the table in the conference room, half hugging Tao Junle, feeling a little drowsy, when the door of the conference room was opened.
The first person I saw was Yang Jidong, who was covered in blood. The two people holding him on each side were Shu'er and Mei'er, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
The two men didn't care that Yang Jidong was covered in blood and just threw him onto the mat.
Then he said to Tong Jia, "Hello, teacher. Commander Pan said that this person has been cleared of suspicion of collaborating with bandits, but he has not been cleared of suspicion of murdering Lan Er, so he cannot go with you.
But since he is your brother-in-law, you can talk to him briefly.
If you can help find evidence to prove that he was not the one who killed Lan'er, he can be free.
Of course, if you think his injuries are too serious and you want to take him back for treatment, that's fine.
But if you take him out, you have to leave someone behind to exchange.
Otherwise, if you secretly transport the person away, we will be in trouble.
Commander Pan thought that since you were going to stay and reminisce with her anyway, why not let you be the one to exchange with him.
If you don't want to, then you can use your younger brother to exchange for your brother-in-law."
Pan Meiying didn't show up, showing no intention of reminiscing about the past. Looking at the expressions of Shu'er and Mei'er, it seemed that there was absolutely no room for negotiation.
It seems that they must take Yang Jidong away today.
But it is absolutely impossible to leave Tao Junle behind just to take Yang Jidong away. If they have to stay, they should stay together.
Tong Jia turned her gaze to Yang Jixia, only to see that he was also frowning as he looked at Yang Jidong who was lying on the ground groaning.
After a long while, he looked up at Shu'er and Mei'er and asked, "Commanders, no matter who will be staying later, could you please call a doctor for us now?
My brother is in this condition now. Even if I can take him back by myself, I think he will have a hard time making it home.
It will be too late to find a doctor for him by then."
Shu'er and Mei'er looked at each other, and Shu'er said, "Wait a moment, I'll go ask Commander Pan for his opinion."
When she came back, she brought a man carrying a medicine box with her.
Tong Jia didn't know whether the man was a doctor or not, but while he was taking off Yang Jidong's clothes to avoid suspicion, Tong Jia quickly exchanged opinions with Yang Jixia.
If the things under Tao Junle's bed were discovered, they would definitely be caught this time.
Judging from Pan Meiying's current attitude, it seems that they have not yet found any conclusive evidence to prove that they are related to the organization.
So now they have to rush back as quickly as possible to hide or destroy the things under Tao Junle's bed.
No one can do this except Tong Jia herself.
Therefore, even if it would arouse Pan Meiying's suspicion, Tong Jia would fight for a chance to go back.
While the doctor was treating Yang Jidong's injuries, Tong Jia pulled Mei'er aside and asked quietly, "Mei'er, can you leave them here for now while I go back and pack some clothes?
Yang Jidong's matter should naturally be handled by his brother, but you may not be able to investigate this kind of thing, and I don't know how much time will be wasted on that useless guy Yang Jixia.
You also know that Lele can't speak, and I feel uneasy leaving him here alone.
But if the two of us stay here, there are a lot of things we need every day, so let me go back and get them.
If you're worried, you can send someone to follow me and keep an eye on me while I'm packing."
Mei'er said, "I can't make the decision on this. I can only ask Commander Pan for instructions."
Tong Jia said, "Okay, go ahead. I'll be waiting for your news."
Soon, Pan Meiying came with Mei'er.
As soon as he came in, he asked, "I heard you were going home to get some groceries. Do you want to stay with Lele?
It seems like they really have a deep affection for each other.
In that case, please ask Lele and the two Mr. Yang to stay here first. I will accompany you back to get daily necessities.
When we both come back, we'll ask Mr. Yang to take your brother home."
Yang Jixia was a little worried that Pan Meiying would follow them, and Tong Jia would not have the time and opportunity to transfer or destroy the documents, so he wanted to stop her, but Tong Jia agreed directly.
Not only did she agree, she also very affectionately took Pan Meiying's arm and pulled her out of the meeting room.
Tao Junle also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Mei'er and Shu'er on the left and right.
He glanced at Yang Jixia, who nodded at him, signaling him to be patient.
Tao Junle dragged a chair in anger and sat directly at the window. No matter who talked to him, he ignored them and his attention was all on the gate of the provincial government.
On the way to the bun shop, Tong Jia changed from being taciturn to being very talkative.
But no matter what she said, Pan Meiying's answer was no more than two words.
When the car was about to reach the bun shop, Tong Jia said, "I remember when I first met Commander Pan, you weren't as talkative as you are now, and you could even chat in complete sentences. Why are you now speaking in twos and twos?"
When the car stopped, Pan Meiying said, "I also remember that you started lying to me from the first time we met.
For someone who doesn't speak the truth, when I can't concentrate on judging whether what she says is true or false, saying one more word is a waste of my saliva."
"Hey? Look at what you're saying. Wasn't that a white lie I told back then? Besides...
Okay, let’s not talk about the past for now. Didn’t you just say more than two words to me? How is that not a waste of breath?
Also, you specially invited me over, saying you wanted to reminisce about the past, and now you have this attitude. I really doubt what your real purpose is.
If you keep this attitude, I will be angry. Why would I pack my daily necessities? I won’t go back... go back, go back, how can I not go back?
I don’t look at anything else. Lele is still there, so I must go back.
I'm going to get off the car now to pack my things, will you come with me? " Before Tong Jia could finish her words, she felt a cold steel pipe pressing against her temple. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw it was a very delicate and compact pistol.
In line with the principle that a good man should not suffer a loss in front of him, she quickly changed her words and admitted her mistake.
Then she got off the car, letting Pan Meiying hold her arm and walk into the bun shop.
The bun shop was surprisingly full, with the entire front hall filled with soldiers.
When they saw Pan Meiying come in, everyone stood up and saluted her.
Pan Meiying waved her right hand, and those people sat down again.
Afterwards, she took out a small yellow croaker and placed it on the counter, saying to Guo Xin, "This is for the food and accommodation expenses of my brothers.
I will come and settle the bill with you about how much they ate every day and how many days they stayed. You can just refund them or make up for the shortfall.
Of course, we can't just let them eat for free. When Mr. Yang comes back, if there is anything you need them to do, just tell them to do it.
There is no need to arrange special rooms for them, they can just sleep on the floor in the hall. They have brought their bedding rolls with them.
Okay, Xiaotong, didn't you say you were going to pack up your and Lele's belongings and stay at my place for a few more days? Go now.
Where is your and Lele's room? I'll go with you."
Tong Jia smiled and took Pan Meiying to her room.
She didn't have many things left outside, so she just grabbed a few pieces of clothing and put them in her suitcase, then carried it to Tao Junle's room.
Tong Jia also took a few changes of clothes for Tao Junle and put them in the same suitcase. When she was about to leave the room, she suddenly slapped her head and said, "Look at my poor memory. I almost forgot.
Lele is obsessed with pillows. I came back just to get him a pillow. Why am I leaving after packing my clothes?
I almost forgot the most important thing."
While Pan Meiying was still there, she climbed onto the kang without even taking off her shoes. When she hugged the pillow, she accidentally pressed down the corner of her clothes and had an intimate contact with the kang.
She also took the opportunity to move all the things hidden down there into the RV.
Pan Meiying realized something was wrong and immediately came over to check. She almost took the pillow apart, but she couldn't find any problems.
After returning the pillow to Tong Jia, she asked, "Don't you have any other daily necessities to take with you?"
Tong Jia shook her head and said, "Probably not.
Oh, by the way, Commander Pan, I was so busy having fun that I forgot to ask where my two sisters are now?
Why didn't I see them at the provincial government just now?"
Pan Meiying said: "They both need to receive special training. If you are willing to join, you can naturally meet them."
"I don't care. Anyway, with your care, Commander Pan, I think their lives should be pretty good now.
For someone like me who doesn't have big ambitions, I'd rather just live my own small life.
I've packed my things, I'll just go out and tell them and leave." Tong Jia stepped out the door and suddenly stopped.
Pan Meiying asked, "Did you forget something?"
Tong Jia handed the suitcase to Pan Meiying and said, "I didn't forget anything, but this suitcase is too heavy and feels heavy. I can't lift it. Officer Pan has experience with this, so could you help me carry the suitcase?"
After saying this, he walked towards the front hall without looking back, without caring whether Pan Meiying agreed or not.
When Pan Meiying came over, Tong Jia was already talking to Guo Xin.
There was nothing wrong with what she said. She said, "Commander Pan wanted to catch up with Lele and me and insisted on inviting me to stay for a few days.
During the days I'm away, you have to take care of the business in the store. Don't take advantage of Commander Pan just because she is rich. Record the actual amount of food these soldiers spend and don't make false reports.
At the latest, Yang Jixia will be back in the evening, and then you can just do whatever he tells you to do."
Pan Meiying came over and had just finished explaining everything, so she was the first to walk to the car.
Pan Meiying, with a suspicious look on her face and having only listened to the second half of the conversation, turned around and looked at her people in the hall. Everyone nodded to her, indicating that there was nothing wrong with what Tong Jia had said just now. Only then did she leave the bun shop with doubts.
On the way back to the provincial government, Tong Jia felt much more relaxed than when she came here, but she didn't want to talk to Pan Meiying at all. She simply folded down the passenger seat and closed her eyes to rest.
