There were soy milk and fried dough sticks on the dining table. Shen Zhifeng, Xu Wenxiu, and two people from the plainclothes team were sitting around.
Xu Wenxiu picked up the chopsticks, glanced at Aunt Mei's room, and said to Shen Zhifeng: "What are you going to do with Aunt Mei?"
Shen Zhifeng slowly ate the fried dough sticks and said in a calm tone: "Don't worry, as long as Aunt Mei is willing to cooperate, I guarantee that she will be safe."
"Tuk-"
The doorbell rings.
Shen Zhifeng said: "Wenxiu, open the door and find yours."
"Looking for me?" Xu Wenxiu said in surprise.
"right."
"how do you know?"
"Guess."
"..."
Xu Wenxiu stood up, walked a few steps, reached out and opened the door, and surprisingly, outside the door was Yuan Peishan holding an umbrella.
The two looked at each other and didn't speak for a long time.
Yuan Peishan looked ashamed and whispered: "Wenxiu, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. What are you doing here?" Xu Wenxiu said coldly.
Yuan Peishan said: "I'm here..."
"Wenxiu, is this Miss Yuan here?" Shen Zhifeng's voice came from the living room.
Entering the living room, Yuan Peishan said respectfully: "Director Shen, I'm sorry, it rained suddenly. I went back to get an umbrella, so I came a little late."
Shen Zhifeng smiled and said: "It's not too late, it's just the right time. Miss Yuan hasn't had breakfast yet, right? Just in time, the ready-made soy milk and fried dough sticks are still warm."
"I have already eaten……"
"Speaking of which, we are all from the same hometown and we are one family. You are welcome and please have a seat."
"Thanks."
Shen Zhifeng stood up, walked to the window, looked outside for a while, and murmured: "It looks like the rain can't be light..."
He turned around, picked up his briefcase, and said to Xu Wenxiu: "It's raining outside. Don't go anywhere today. With Miss Yuan accompanying you, you won't feel bored."
"I know..." Xu Wenxiu understood in her heart that Yuan Peishan came to accompany her in name, but in fact she was also closely monitoring her.
"Ring ring ring ring!"
The phone rings.
Shen Zhifeng walked over, reached for the phone, and said, "Hello?"
"Director Shen, it's me." Captain Hong's voice came on the phone.
"What's up?"
"Qi Yuantai just sent someone to book a seat at Shengping Grand Theater."
"Captain Hong, you must keep an eye on Qi Yuantai. I guess he is going to meet with people from the Communist Party today."
"Don't worry, the manpower has been arranged. I even know exactly what show will be performed in the theater this afternoon."
"You did a great job! I'll go to the station and I'll be there soon."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhifeng hurried out the door. He had taken a few days off and had to go to Yanjin Station after such a long time.
Xu Wenxiu picked up two fried dough sticks, poured another bowl of soy milk, and walked towards Aunt Mei's room.
A plainclothes man stretched out his hand to stop her and said, "Miss Xu, I'll do it."
Xu Wenxiu said with a cold face: "Why, are you afraid that I will take the opportunity to let her go?"
The plainclothes man smiled and said: "That's not true, but Director Shen has given orders..."
"Aunt Mei is from my hometown. If you come to Yanjin with me, won't it be okay for me to bring her food?"
"this……"
Faced with Xu Wenxiu's aggressiveness, the two plainclothes men looked at each other and involuntarily moved away, allowing her to enter Aunt Mei's room.
The two plainclothes men had the same idea. Neither Xu Wenxiu nor Aunt Mei could go out anyway, so it didn't matter even if they said something secretly.
Aunt Mei was sitting on the chair, her hands were handcuffed, her cold eyes could kill people, and she watched Xu Wenxiu open the door and walk in.
"Aunt Mei, eat while it's hot." Xu Wenxiu put the fried dough sticks and soy milk on the table.
"Traitor!" Aunt Mei said two words between her teeth and turned to look at the increasingly heavy rain outside the window.
Xu Wenxiu said: "Aunt Mei, believe me, it's not what you think...at least, not entirely."
Aunt Mei did not look back, but turned her back to Xu Wenxiu and said, "I don't want to talk to you, please go out."
Xu Wenxiu knew that Aunt Mei had a deep misunderstanding of him. This could not be explained clearly in one or two sentences, and there was indeed no defensible reason.
She lowered her voice and said: "Qi Yuantai is going to Shengping Theater. It seems that we are meeting. Aunt Mei, what do you think we should do?"
"Who is Qi Yuantai? I don't know him."
"He is the one who bailed me out."
"oh……"
"I originally wanted Mr. Qi to send a message to his superiors to tell you not to come back. Who knows, he did bad things with good intentions, and Shen Zhili took advantage of this..."
Aunt Mei suddenly stood up, stared at Xu Wenxiu nervously, and said, "Is everything you said true?"
Xu Wenxiu nodded vigorously.
Aunt Mei's heart felt cold. If what Xu Wenxiu said was true, it would be dangerous to go online.
It was necessary to stop going online to meet Qi Yuantai, but neither Aunt Mei nor Xu Wenxiu could think of anything to do about this urgent matter other than being anxious.
Time passes little by little. It is now ten o'clock in the morning. At one o'clock in the afternoon, Shengping Theater will open on time.
"Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang..."
The wall clock rang eleven.
Xu Wenxiu was upset, got up and walked towards the study.
Yuan Peishan immediately followed in. The task Shen Zhifeng gave her was to closely monitor Xu Wenxiu at all times to prevent Xu Wenxiu from doing tricks behind his back.
Xu Wenxiu took out a copy of Xu Xiake's Travel Notes from the bookshelf and flipped through a few pages. Her mind was not on the book at all, and she could not read even a single word.
Yuan Peishan slowly sat across from her, remained silent for a while, and said, "Wenxiu, I'm sorry, I can't help it..."
Xu Wenxiu covered her face with a book and said coldly: "You are embarrassed to say sorry, but I am embarrassed to say it's okay."
Yuan Wenshan said: "Wenxiu, can't you forgive me?"
Xu Wenxiu slammed the book on the table and said bitterly: "Yuan Peishan, how do you want me to forgive you? I trust you so much, I never expected that you would set up a trap to deceive me!"
"I'm a member of the Three Youth League. I'm asked to do that by my superiors. What can I do? Besides, I didn't expect you to be a Communist Party member..."
"You can just push it away. Just ask the above and everything will be fine. What should I do with Aunt Mei? Have you considered it for her?"
"Aunt Mei...as long as she is willing to cooperate, she should be fine."
"You are still a college student. Do you know what character means? If Aunt Mei is greedy for life and afraid of death, will they still go through the trouble of arresting people through Qi Yuantai?"
"I'm sorry, Wenxiu, I really didn't want to do this, please believe me."
"snort!"
"Wenxiu, what do you want me to do before you forgive me?" Yuan Peishan burst into tears anxiously.
Seeing Yuan Peishan like this, Xu Wenxiu's heart moved. She pondered for a long time and said, "Peishan, if you are willing to do me a favor, I will forgive you."
Yuan Peishan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said without hesitation: "Okay, you can say it."
"Let Aunt Mei go!" Xu Wenxiu whispered.
"Let Aunt Mei go? How is this possible? There are police watching. They have guns."
