Chapter 345 - 344: Two Choices

Chapter 345: Chapter 344: Two Choices

"...Yes, yes, yes, that’s her! And that Public Security officer who caught me, they’re all in it together! Comrade, I confess, I admit, I indeed engaged in smuggling, but you can’t just arrest me alone!"

Su Yuncheng arrived at the clinic, just in time to hear Zhang Changjiang blabbering away, spilling everything he should and shouldn’t have.

Liu Jianjun was standing by the sickbed. Seeing Su Yuncheng hurrying over, he curved his lips into an awkward smile: "You got here faster than I expected."

Su Yuncheng glanced at Zhang Changjiang and said, "Uncle Liu, shall we talk outside?"

"Just wait."

Liu Jianjun waved his hand dismissively and looked at Zhang Changjiang expressionlessly: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Seeing Liu Jianjun’s attitude, Su Yuncheng’s brows furrowed deeply.

Liu Jianjun had never had a good impression of Lin Nianhe; he even interrogated her directly last time. Now that Zhang Changjiang has spilled everything, if Liu Jianjun stubbornly insists on interrogating Lin Nianhe, it could be tricky to handle.

Zhang Changjiang saw Su Yuncheng’s serious expression and couldn’t help but feel delighted; he grinned, showing off his big teeth, quite smugly: "Without the leader, that’s everything!"

Only then did Liu Jianjun turn back to Su Yuncheng, pointing at Zhang Changjiang with a smile that was not quite a smile: "This old guy says your Miss Lin is involved in the black market trade, and she’s a big supplier at that."

Seeing his smile, Su Yuncheng’s heart actually settled down.

His tense muscles relaxed, and he stood by the door with an indifferent expression, watching them.

Zhang Changjiang was particularly smug at this moment, nodding vigorously while clutching the gauze on his shoulder: "Right! Yes, yes, yes!"

"He also said that you’re in cahoots with her and there’s suspicion of shielding her."

"Yes! That’s right, right, right!"

Zhang Changjiang chuckled sinisterly and said to Liu Jianjun: "Leader, look at his attitude, he’s not submissive, you need to take care of this!"

Liu Jianjun turned back, speaking to Zhang Changjiang quite amiably: "Of course, I will handle it. Yuncheng, you only have two choices here—"

"One is to execute him, the other is you take him out and do it yourself, and I’ll file an accident report for the arrest."

"If you want to be more ruthless, you’ll have to find someone else; I can’t handle that, you do it yourself."

When Liu Jianjun said this, his gaze remained on Zhang Changjiang’s face, still with that half-smiling expression.

Zhang Changjiang’s smile froze on his lips, completely bewildered.

What did he hear? What does that mean?

This development wasn’t going as he had imagined!

"No, leader, what, what do you mean by this?" Zhang Changjiang’s cold sweat streamed down, his already pale face from blood loss turned even paler.

"What do I mean? You tell me, what do I mean?" Liu Jianjun glared at him, "Who do you think you are defaming? Lin Nianhe is a good comrade who helped establish the Lan County Match Factory branch! Can someone like you, tainted through and through, just spit out idle gossip?"

"If I didn’t blow your head off right now, it’s damn well because I didn’t bring my gun with me today!"

Zhang Changjiang was completely stunned.

What match factory? What branch? What was he talking about?

He didn’t understand Liu Jianjun’s intention, but he knew that he was completely done for this time.

If he had another chance to choose, he would definitely not go to the Ten Miles Team to kidnap those two little bastards.

But there is no medicine for regret; it’s already too late to have second thoughts.

Zhang Changjiang stared blankly as two Public Security officers came in, yanked him off the sickbed, his mind blank as he followed them into the police station next to the clinic.

"Yuncheng, you say it, what exactly do we do?"

Liu Jianjun stood at the entrance of the police station, lighting up a cigarette.

Su Yuncheng took a glance at Zhang Changjiang’s retreating figure, and said indifferently, "He should be sentenced as per the law, but for the execution, he needs to be taken back to the provincial city. I have use for him."

"Alright." Liu Jianjun exhaled a puff of smoke, looking at Su Yuncheng with a somewhat evasive gaze, "Ahem... The reason I was looking for you today is about the match factory..."

At noon, Liu Jianjun received a call from the commune, informing him that the provincial city’s match factory had started preparations for a branch factory at Ten Miles Team today, and that in a couple of days they would be sending materials over, asking the police station to dispatch two people to escort the transportation to avoid any trouble.

Liu Jianjun hadn’t heard a whisper of this before, and was completely confused when he heard the news, so he asked a few more questions.

The commune leaders were in high spirits and explained the whole matter one more time, during which they mentioned Lin Nianhe’s important role in the branch factory affair.

Liu Jianjun was quite stubborn, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so exceedingly harsh on anyone and anything related to cases like his mother’s death.

But such a person is also very simple; as long as he thinks you are good, he is blind to all your flaws.

Having said that, Liu Jianjun, with a somewhat resentful look, stared at Su Yuncheng: "Did you already know about this?"

"Yeah," Su Yuncheng openly admitted, "Nianhe told me."

"Then why didn’t you say it earlier? So I could... have been happy a few days sooner." Liu Jianjun coughed a couple more times, rubbed his nose and said, "When Comrade Xiao Lin is done with her busy schedule, bring her over to my house for a meal, I’ll have your aunt make dumplings for you two."

Su Yuncheng did not decline, and with a low chuckle, he agreed: "Okay."

Liu Jianjun didn’t let him go, and continued: "The commune means to say, our Lan County only had one textile factory to begin with, and now that we finally have another factory, even if it’s a branch, we must pay attention to it. They suggest sending two public security officers to reside regularly at Ten Miles Team... What do you think, do you have anyone to recommend?"

Su Yuncheng: "I’ll go, that’s okay."

"That’s okay?" Liu Jianjun gave him a look, his lips curled sarcastically, "Major Su, don’t trouble yourself, a high-ranking officer like you going to guard a factory at a production team would be a waste of talent!"

Su Yuncheng: "..."

"I think it’s better to transfer two people from Squad Two, they’re idle as can be every day, helping out the villagers with their work would be good."

"..."

"Hey, what about Xiao Li? He’s single, not married, no attachments!"

Su Yuncheng cleared his throat, interrupting Liu Jianjun, and said seriously: "Xiao Li’s parents are both in poor health, let him stay at home to take care of the elders. My parents aren’t around, I’m unattached. I’ll go."

At that moment, Xiao Li from Squad Two was passing by.

He looked baffledly at Su Yuncheng: "Captain Su, my parents are actually quite healthy, is there a task for me to do? It won’t be a bother."

Su Yuncheng turned his head to look at him.

Xiao Li: "Oh Liu Director, you don’t know, but my dad has been coughing for three months and his legs hurt so much he can’t climb out of the kang bed!"

Liu Jianjun was taken aback by the sudden turn, pointed at Xiao Li’s nose, and said: "You little rascal, you really have a bright future!"

Xiao Li hee-heed with a laugh, stepped back and bolted away.

Liu Jianjun cursed with a laugh, then turned back to Su Yuncheng: "I also thought of having you go. You don’t have much to do at the station on normal days, so it’s perfect for you. When you have assignments from the higher-ups later, you can leave and I’ll send someone else over."

This time, Su Yuncheng promptly agreed: "Okay."

"Let Feng Wei go with you."

"I can handle it myself, no need for help."

"If that son of a gun doesn’t leave, my building’s going to be trampled down sooner or later! You were the one who brought him here, now quickly take him away with you!"
