Luo Yu smiled so broadly her eyes disappeared. "Aunt Yu's daughter got married, right?"

"We got married last month."

"Is he the guy I introduced you to?"

"Yes, it's him."

“I said back then that the man was good, he could make money and was filial, and most importantly, he wasn’t blindly obedient to his parents. How was he to you?”

"That's really great. You always think of us old folks when you have something good. We're so grateful to you."

……

"Aunt Zhou, how is my husband's health? I heard you were in the hospital last time because you weren't feeling well. I've been so busy that I haven't been able to visit him."

"Why go? It's been fine for a long time, don't worry."

……

"Aunt Jiang, is your nephew still dating that girl?"

"What's the point of dating? It fell through a long time ago. If you hadn't reminded me that the girl was suspicious, I would have checked her out and found out that my silly nephew was spending money on her."

"I also encountered this situation. Could I just stand by and do nothing? It's not worth mentioning."

……

After asking around and finishing her water, Luo Yu finally looked at Wang Yingkuang Women's Federation Director, who was sitting in the main seat and smiling at her.

"Director He, our Director Xu asked me to give you his regards."

Director He pointed at Luo Yu with his finger, "You, your mouth is as sweet as honey. Tell me, what brings you here? You wouldn't come if there was nothing wrong."

Luo Yu smiled and moved her chair next to Director He. "Director He, what are you saying? Can't I come and see you if there's nothing wrong?"

Director He wasn't in a hurry. "Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go home now. You guys chat."

Luo Yu quickly stopped her, and stopped joking, "Director He, please, something really has come up."

Director He pointed at Luo Yu with his finger, "You, hurry up and say it, don't keep us from getting off work."

Luo Yu told Director He about catching the employees of Wangying Mine having extramarital affairs, and Director He jumped up immediately upon hearing this.

"Why didn't you say something so important sooner? You're just wasting your time chatting here!"

Luo Yu, feeling guilty, rubbed his nose and said, "I was just too tired from riding all the way, and then I stood outside the gate for ages, so I just wanted a drink of water to refresh myself!"

Director He rolled his eyes, grabbed his car keys, glared at Luo Yu, and said, "So, Comrade Luo Yu, are you feeling refreshed now? Can we go now?"

Luo Yu immediately stood up. "Yes, let's go now."

Director He called over two middle-aged women and then found two colleagues from the security department downstairs. When the head of the security department heard that Xi Beizhan was also there, he insisted on going along to see what was going on. As a result, when Luo Yu returned, a string of people followed behind her.

Three comrades from the Women's Federation of Wangying Mine, four soldiers from the Security Section, and one head of the Security Section—Luo Yu couldn't help but twitch her lips when she looked back while riding her bicycle.

With this kind of scene, you'd think we were going to war!

The round trip took more than an hour, and Luo Yu chatted for a long time. By the time she got back, more than an hour and a half had passed. When Luo Yu looked at her watch as she entered the door, she was surprised to find that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

We need to resolve this quickly. She gets off work at five o'clock, and nothing can delay her from leaving.

Luo Yu quickened her pace as she entered, and the group of people following behind her also quickened their pace.

As soon as he entered, he saw Xi Beizhan pacing around in the yard. When he saw that Luo Yu had finally returned, Xi Beizhan quickly went up and took the bicycle from her.

"Why are you only getting back now? Was everything alright on the journey?"

Luo Yu shook her head. "It's nothing. What could possibly happen in broad daylight? Look who's here."

Luo Yu made way for Xi Beizhan, who looked up to see what was happening. He saw a group of people walk in first, people he didn't recognize. But when a man came in, Xi Beizhan couldn't help but stand up straight and give a military salute.

"Old squad leader."

Section Chief Zhu smiled and pointed at Xi Beizhan with his finger, "You, you, you're so close, yet you don't even bother to come and see me. Look at you, you've forgotten about your old squad leader."

"You rascal, you're still in great shape. It's a shame you left the army."

Section Chief Zhu walked up to Xi Beizhan and punched him hard. Xi Beizhan didn't budge. Section Chief Zhu nodded in satisfaction.

Section Chief Zhu was the old squad leader of the Xi brothers when they joined the army. At that time, he was in charge of all their training and life. He felt sorry for the two brothers and the Xi family's father was a hero, so he usually took extra care of them.

After Xi Beizhan was discharged from the army, he visited Section Chief Zhu, who had already been discharged long ago. At that time, Section Chief Zhu wanted to get Xi Beizhan to work at Wangying Mine, but when he learned that Mine Manager Hao and the others were at Wulong Mine, he gave up the idea. He knew that Mine Manager Hao and the other seniors treated Xi Beizhan no worse than he treated him, and they were more capable. Xi Beizhan would have a better chance of development if he stayed with them. Section Chief Zhu did not want to delay Xi Beizhan, so he let go.

When Xi Beizhan and Luo Yu got married, Section Chief Zhu was on a mission and couldn't come. However, Xi Beizhan took Luo Yu to his house once afterward and even stayed for a meal. The two got along very well, and at that time, Section Chief Zhu said that they could come to him if they needed anything.

However, Xi Beizhan and Luo Yu did not go. Firstly, there was nothing they could ask him to do, and secondly, with two powerful figures, Director Hao and Kong Shufang, backing Xi Beizhan, Section Chief Zhu could not use him even if he wanted to help.

Xi Beizhan's stern face disappeared for a moment. He scratched the back of his head sheepishly and said, "I've been busy and haven't had time. Please don't mind, old squad leader."

Section Chief Zhu glared at Xi Beizhan and said, "Get out of here. Do you think I don't know whether you have time or not? You've been lazy since you were a child. If no one is pushing you forward, you could just lie down anywhere for a whole day."

Xi Beizhan didn't deny it. He knew himself well. He didn't have the ambition. If it weren't for the fact that he had to support his family and wife, he wouldn't bother listening to Director Hao and the others. He would rather be a lowly security guard and not have to worry about anything.

As the two were talking, they reached the outer room. Section Chief Zhu looked up and glanced at Zhou Daya and the man next to her. He felt that the man looked familiar, but he didn't pay attention to it. He then looked at Liu Chunhua, Aunt Liu, and Aunt Zhao.

Section Chief Zhu, with a gossipy look on his face, leaned closer to Xi Beizhan and whispered, "What's going on?"

They're all old acquaintances, everyone knows each other. Xi Beizhan rolled his eyes when he heard this, "It's just those kinds of things between men and women."

Upon hearing this, Section Chief Zhu perked up and said, "Tell me about it."

Helpless, Xi Beizhan pulled Section Chief Zhu aside and whispered what had happened.

When Luo Yu went to Wangying Mine to recruit people, Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhao told him the details, so Xi Beizhan could indeed recount the whole story.

Inside the room, Director He glanced at the man squatting in the corner, her eyes narrowing in disbelief. She rubbed her eyes and tentatively asked, "Captain Yan?"

The man raised his head and looked at Director He with a bitter expression. "Director He."

Director He was now certain that it was indeed Yan Guohua, the captain of the third tunneling team in their mine.

"It really is you!"

Director He's shouts caught the attention of Section Chief Zhu outside. He leaned in and peeked inside. When he saw that familiar face, his eyes widened and he exploded in anger.
