In the reborn era, the lucky bag is enjoying the show in the factory area.

The next day at work, Shao Yang and Xiao Wei came over and personally returned the five hundred yuan they had borrowed to Luo Yu.

Luo Yu knew that the two of them had made a lot of money this time and were not short of cash, so he accepted the money.

Another half month passed in a blur, and the murderer in the Jin family massacre still hadn't been caught. Luo Yu had to walk to and from get off work with Xi Beizhan, otherwise she wouldn't dare go home.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, Aunt Xi is busy again. Cleaning the house isn't urgent; what's urgent is buying New Year's goods.

Good things don't come around often, so when you do come across them, it's a real treat. As a result, Aunt Xi would go to the department store and the supply and marketing cooperative almost every day, and she didn't miss any of the big markets.

At the end of January, Luo Yu was about to go find Xi Beizhan after getting off work when Xi Beizhan rushed up to her.

"Honey, I have a mission today. I'll have Uncle Wei accompany you back."

Upon hearing that Xi Beizhan had a mission, Luo Yu quickly asked, "Why the sudden mission? Is it dangerous?"

Xi Beizhan laughed and said, "No mission is without danger, but don't worry, I will be extra careful and I guarantee nothing will happen. Besides, I have a lot of people with me. Xiao Wei and Shao Yang are going together, so nothing will go wrong."

Luo Yu frowned and said worriedly, "Then you must be careful and don't be careless. No matter what happens, your personal safety must be your top priority. Everything else is negotiable."

Xi Beizhan understood. Luo Yu was telling him that even if he was punished or people laughed at him for being a coward, he should try not to rush forward.

Xi Beizhan nodded and whispered, "I understand. Don't worry, I'll be careful."

She tucked a strand of hair behind Luo Yu's ear and whispered, "Don't go out after you come in. It's a bit chaotic outside today. Tell your second aunt not to go out either."

Also, if I get back late, you can sleep at your second aunt's. If I get back earlier, I'll pick you up from there.

Xiao Wang and his friends hadn't left yet, and upon hearing this, they all rolled their eyes.

It's just a wall away, less than ten steps to home, what could possibly happen!

Luo Yu escorted Xi Beizhan to the office door, just as Uncle Wei arrived. Luo Yu packed her things and followed Uncle Wei out.

Xi Beizhan was worried, so he escorted the two to the front gate and watched them turn the corner and enter the room before going back.

Luo Yu arrived home safely. Seeing that he had delivered Luo Yu home safely, Lao Wei was relieved and turned around to go back.

Upon entering the house, Luo Yu quickly said to Aunt Xi, "Aunt, Bei Zhan has a mission today and will be back late. We don't need to wait for him."

He also told me to tell you not to go out today, it's a bit chaotic outside.

Aunt Xi frowned upon hearing this, "Do you know what kind of mission it is? Is it that serious? They won't even let us leave the house."

Luo Yu frowned and shook his head, saying, "I don't know, he didn't say."

Aunt Xi also knew the nature of Xi Beizhan's work, which meant he couldn't say just anything, especially when it came to his mission, so she stopped asking questions.

Today, Qiu Ling and her two friends were working the second shift, so only Luo Yu, Aunt Xi, and Guan Jingyi were at home. Little Guoqing, who was waiting to be breastfed on the kang (a heated brick bed), wasn't included in the family.

Qiu Ling came back late, so Aunt Xi took Xiao Guoqing to the kang (heated brick bed) in the main room, fed him, and played with him, trying not to let him go to sleep too early so that he wouldn't be restless at night.

The Guan family's gate was tightly shut, and a tense atmosphere lingered over the Guan family's residence.

Meanwhile, Xi Beizhan led a large team and four large teams to the Central Police Station to assemble.

Upon seeing Captain Feng, Xi Beizhan and Section Chief Xing followed Captain Feng to the director's office, where Director Kong was also present.

When Xi Beizhan and Section Chief Xing saw that Director Kong had also arrived, they quickly went up to greet him.

"Hello, Director Kong."

Outside, Xi Beizhan was always careful to maintain proper decorum, always addressing them by their official titles. Director Kong nodded slightly to the two of them, without showing any particular intimacy.

Half an hour later, the team set off, heading straight for the western suburbs of the city.

Upon arriving at their destination, Xi Beizhan noticed that it was very close to Wangying Mine. He then leaned close to Director Kong and whispered, "Director Kong, this place is very close to Wangying Mine. Should we go to Wangying Mine and transfer some more manpower over here?"

Director Kong immediately understood that Xi Beizhan wanted to give some credit to Section Chief Zhu of the security department of Wangying Mine.

Since they were all on the same side, Director Kong nodded in agreement without hesitation.

“He lives nearby and is familiar with the surrounding terrain, so it would be good to have him come over.”

The fact that the perpetrator of the Jin family massacre was able to come here shows that he is very familiar with the terrain, and they definitely need someone familiar with the area to guide them.

Even now, Director Kong hasn't told Xi Beizhan what the mission is. It's not that he's deliberately keeping it a secret; he just forgot to tell Xi Beizhan. He assumed that his subordinates had already told Xi Beizhan, and his subordinates, knowing the relationship between Director Kong and Xi Beizhan, thought he had already told him. Therefore, the information was incorrect, leading Xi Beizhan to believe that there was a big mission involving the arrest of many people. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked him to bring so many people over.

Upon seeing that Director Kong had agreed, Xi Beizhan immediately called Section Chief Zhu.

Section Chief Zhu happened to be on duty today, and he rushed over without saying a word after receiving the call.

He first bumped fists with Xi Beizhan and whispered, "Thanks, brother."

Xi Beizhan rolled his eyes. "We're all friends here! Stop with the nonsense and get to Director Kong."

"Director Kong."

Section Chief Zhu saluted Director Kong first, and Director Kong glanced at Section Chief Zhu with a smile.

"Little Zhu, you didn't even tell me you were coming. You went to the Northern War Zone first. What's wrong? Are you not as close to me as he is?"

Section Chief Zhu wasn't intimidated. He scratched his head and said with an honest expression, "It's precisely because I'm not being rude to you that I spoke to Bei Zhan. Why is Director Kong finding fault with me?"

Director Kong glared at Section Chief Zhu. "You little brat, you never come to me, whether you have something to do or not. If you had come to me a few more times, you wouldn't still be sitting in this position. And now you're blaming me for being unreasonable?"

Section Chief Zhu chuckled foolishly, and Xi Beizhan couldn't bear to look at him. He pulled Zhu aside, away from Director Kong.

Director Kong glared at Xi Beizhan and muttered under his breath, "You're willing to accept credit that's been handed to you? Me, the director, having to beg you for favors? Honestly! Where can I complain to you?"

Director Kong looked at Section Chief Zhu more closely and muttered even more quietly, "It's about time to bring up Xiao Zhu."

He has many elite soldiers under his command, but few he can truly trust. They are not easy to use, so he feels more at ease using his own people.

Director Kong ignored them and began to plan the arrest.

An hour later, Xi Beizhan hid in a haystack and waited for the suspect to appear. Directly opposite him was Section Chief Zhu's hiding place.

Section Chief Zhu and Xi Beizhan were filled with regret. If they had known they would be hiding outside, they would have made up all sorts of excuses not to make this trip.

Is it that the warm bed at home isn't cozy enough, or is my wife's body too weak, that she's come here to suffer?

But they couldn't disobey their superiors' orders, so the two had no choice.

Once we're here, we have to work like crazy. The sooner we finish arresting them, the sooner we can go home.

Xi Beizhan looked up at the sky.

It was completely dark outside, and a light northeasterly wind was blowing. Small snowflakes were falling, and soon the ground was covered in a blanket of silver.

Xi Beizhan glanced at the person opposite him and sighed silently.

I'm sorry, Lao Zhu, I didn't expect things to turn out this way, and I've dragged you into this mess.
