Chapter 227 – Upon arriving at the office

Early morning.

After a hearty meal, Jiang Yuan, Wu Jun, Wu Junhao, and Huang Qiangming stood in front of the restaurant waiting for a car to arrive.

The wind in Qinghe City felt a bit softer than the wind in Ningtai County, sliding on the face and disappearing before one could fully appreciate it, only to return a moment later.

If Qinghe City were a tall, beautiful woman, then the wind would be like a seductive dance, enticing and itching at the heartstrings.

If Qinghe City were a burly man, then the wind would be... slightly nauseating.

The people standing on the steps were lost in thought in the wind, the internal and external exhaustion making everyone feel particularly weary.

What started as a theft case turned into a homicide, even a bloody case with two bodies, all of which Jiang Yuan quickly solved. Otherwise, Huang Qiangming would have regretted not stabbing himself twice.

"Huang Captain." A Mercedes stopped in front of the group, and the driver got out, smiling and saying, "Are you all heading back to Ningtai? I can give you a ride."

"You are..."

"Oh, I'm the driver for our Jianyuan company."

"Thank you, but it's not necessary." Huang Qiangming actually wanted to take the ride. The cars in their team were all junk, and they didn't dare to turn on the air conditioning when driving on the highway, otherwise, they would overtake too slowly and be easily crushed by the big trucks.

The quality of the Mercedes was unknown, but the air conditioning should be good.

The driver persuaded them a few more times, but seeing Huang Qiangming's firm attitude, he smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for you. I'll grab some breakfast, and if you need a ride later, I'll be ready."

With that, he went into the breakfast shop, and Huang Qiangming and the others didn't want to stop him from eating.

"We've got a new assistant general manager, and the company's style has changed." Huang Qiangming felt quite comfortable, watching the driver's back and laughing casually.

"Because she's a girl's subordinate, so the attitude has softened?" Wu Jun had also experienced the dominance of Jianyuan company in the past few days.

Huang Qiangming tilted his head, "If the leader has this kind of influence, our team would have received a collective first-class merit long ago. This driver is probably brought in by Yuan Yushan. I heard she brought in some people to the company."

"So, Yuan Yushan also has her own people?" Jiang Yuan asked somewhat surprised.

Huang Qiangming nodded, "She has her own company outside. I heard that she originally had no inheritance rights, and was not even allowed to open a company outside, but the internal turmoil at Jianyuan was too intense, and various bans were gradually lifted."

"Who would have thought that the biggest winner this time is a little girl." Wu Jun also felt quite emotional, "If my son gets married, marrying such a rich girl, I don't know how happy he would be."

Wu Jun couldn't help but light a cigarette and enjoy a puff.

Wu Junhao took a step back. He was a healthy fitness man, only smoking and not inhaling secondhand smoke.

"By the way, did the thief confess?" Wu Jun had been resting for the past two days and was just curious.

Huang Qiangming made a sound of agreement, saying, "His head is emptier than a pocket. He's really unlucky to be dragged into this case. With the other cases that were uncovered, he'll probably be sentenced to at least 7 years."

"Wow. Did someone instruct him?"

"No."

"So, he just suddenly decided to do a job?"

"More or less... but..."

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread.com".

"But what?"

"He said he received several packages of specialty foods from Qinghe, which made him think of home, so he came over to take a look."

"So he just did a case on the side?"

"Yeah, it seems that's the situation now." Huang Qiangming patted Jiang Yuan and said with a smile, "Who would have thought that we originally came to solve a theft case."

Jiang Yuan wholeheartedly agreed.

Wu Jun quietly handed each person a red wooden carving of Guan Yu and said softly, "Enough, let's not talk about these unlucky things. Let's go home peacefully. Those who can afford it can eat a red fish, and those who can't can eat a red egg..."

...

In the evening.

Jiang Yuan ate a red grouper, with white spots on its red body.

The red grouper became popular due to Hong Kong dramas and was sold at a high price in China for a while. After the breakthrough in breeding technology, both domestic and overseas red groupers couldn't fetch a good price.

Compared to the Mengdushan, Chinese agricultural scientists were killing themselves along with the enemy, nourishing all things.

Jiangfu Town's fish-making skills were average, but the requirements for steamed fish were not high.

Jiang Yuan, Jiangfu Town, and Strong Uncle ate a nearly two-pound fish, just right.

The flesh of the wild-caught red grouper was harder than that of ordinary tiger groupers and blue groupers, but the fish tasted very rich.

Jiangfu Town ate a little and then put down his chopsticks. He was used to eating freshwater fish, and saltwater fish was just to taste, so he turned to other dishes and ate rice.

Strong Uncle was quite happy with his meal.

He also watched Hong Kong movies, and even because of his age, he once regarded Hong Kong movies as documentaries.

He had heard of the name of the red grouper, but with Strong Uncle's personality, he had never specifically bought this kind of fish. He didn't even want to go to the market; whatever his wife brought back, he would eat.Except for holidays, Uncle Qiang's wife is always very frugal.

During the meal, Jiang Yuan also picked out some topics he could discuss and shared them with his father.

Even if it was only a small part, the people of Jiangfu Town were getting restless.

"Jianyuan, such a big company, and now it's suddenly in turmoil. Hey, don't mention it, I even rented a floor to Jianyuan back in the day. They paid promptly, a very formal company," Jiangfu Town shook its head repeatedly.

Jiang Yuan just smiled, neither asking in detail nor elaborating.

Most criminal cases are beyond the tolerance of ordinary people.

Especially homicide cases, they are either due to interests that exceed the ordinary level or emotions that burst beyond the ordinary level.

However, Uncle Qiang listened intently and at the end asked Jiang Yuan, "Don't you want someone by your side? It might get more dangerous once you become famous. Your skills are too good, some people, if they commit a crime and later realize they've left loopholes, wouldn't they come back and kill you first?"

Jiangfu Town frowned deeply, "You have a point..."

"I've never heard of police officers having bodyguards," Jiang Yuan chuckled, "My superiors wouldn't allow it either."

"Then you need to practice more. Do you want me to teach you some combat skills?" Uncle Qiang stood up, stretched his long arms and legs, and said, "When I was in the army, I specifically learned close-quarters combat."

"Well... that works." Jiang Yuan had been waiting for the system to grant him skills, but the system's response was a bit slow, so he decided to start learning on his own.

Seeing that he had persuaded Jiang Yuan, Uncle Qiang became excited and after thinking carefully for a while, he said, "I suggest starting with wrestling. Wrestling is quick to learn, and the basic moves aren't difficult. Mainly, it's useful. You're not going to the battlefield, when it's time to use the skills, it's about winning or losing between one or two moves."

Jiang Yuan recalled his past experiences and couldn't help but nod.

Uncle Qiang felt like he had something to do and became a bit impatient.

Waiting for Jiang Yuan to finish eating, and while he was digesting, Uncle Qiang started explaining.

After an hour, Uncle Qiang couldn't wait to demonstrate the basic moves to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan himself also felt a sense of crisis.

The cases he was dealing with were becoming more and more complex.

Especially this time, although it started with a minor burglary, because of Jianyuan Company, he was still pulled in.

The subsequent developments were even more unexpected.

But no matter what, this kind of homicide case, which involved money, power, and emotions, wouldn't mind having one more person buried with it.

The kind of danger that ordinary police officers would never encounter in their lifetime could happen to Jiang Yuan at any moment.

It's like demolition issues that ordinary people might never encounter in their lifetime, but Jiang Yuan and his father had faced several times.

Taking advantage of the time off, Jiang Yuan just learned the basics from Uncle Qiang.

When he went out again, even the two dogs at home could sense Jiang Yuan's confidence, and they walked with their heads held high.

Three days later.

Jiang Yuan went to work as usual.

Upon arriving at the office, after stepping over the brazier, paying respects to Guan Gong, and eating a red egg, Wu Jun handed a red box to Jiang Yuan.

"What's this?"

"The case you solved in Qinghe City, the reservoir body, third-class merit," Wu Jun pointed to the box, "The medal and everything are inside."

"Just a box?" Jiang Yuan was a bit unaccustomed.

"There's a ceremony for it, usually for second-class merits. For third-class merits, it's either a small meeting or showing up collectively during a big meeting," Wu Jun paused, observing Jiang Yuan's expression, and said, "You've already received two second-class merits, so there's no need to make a big deal out of a third-class merit."

"This is... too modest," Jiang Yuan looked around, indeed there were only the two of them in the room.

"Don't look, Old Huang went to Qinghe City to scrounge, he won't be back for a couple of days."

"Again to Qinghe City?"

"Yeah, it's kind of like chasing after owed wages," Wu Jun always spoke frankly.
