Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373: Chapter 373: Extra Story 22

Jiang Cheng and Shen Que pretended to be very busy in the hotel.

Various phone calls were made from the hotel room, and amid the chaos, Jiang Cheng also met several people.

He Gong had been monitoring Jiang Cheng’s movements, and unbeknownst to him, his every move was under surveillance.

Jiang Cheng didn’t know exactly what happened during this time.

But she played her role on the surface perfectly.

Five days later, Director Leng suddenly came to visit in person.

Jiang Cheng looked at Director Leng and smiled knowingly, asking, "Is it over?"

"It’s over, I came to give you an explanation."

Director Leng came in, and Shen Que, who had been hiding, also emerged, and the three of them sat down together.

"Jiang Cheng, you were not part of the capture plan this time."

In other words, it’s not that they didn’t tell Jiang Cheng, they just didn’t know that He Gong would contact her.

Jiang Cheng shook her head indifferently, saying, "I’m willing to be used if it means catching spies."

Hearing this, Director Leng’s serious face broke into a smile, and he looked at Jiang Cheng sincerely, saying, "Thank you."

This thank you was not just for the spy incident but encompassed a lot more, which Jiang Cheng understood.

"No need to thank me, it’s where my heart lies."

Director Leng stopped with the pleasantries.

"A few years ago, after your report, He Gong was secretly monitored by us. Back then, he went to the Northwest with the intent targeting some of our secret projects."

"We just never found the right opportunity to act, and we didn’t want to alert the enemy because we wanted to see what kind of trail he would leave, so we kept watching."

"Later, He Gong applied to move to the South, possibly eyeing the trend of the southern economy taking off."

"As for this time, he was indeed intent on stopping your funding activities, even hoping to tarnish us and shake the trust in free market individuals."

...

Director Leng said a lot, and in conclusion, He Gong had been lurking for a long time. This time, by following the lead, they uprooted the entire network behind He Gong in one go.

Jiang Cheng, upon hearing this, said contentedly, "It’s good that he was caught."

"Indeed, and also... that Boss Hu was one of our people, always monitoring He Gong from the side."

Jiang Cheng was slightly surprised, but then felt it was to be expected.

"That’s good."

After the explanation, once Director Leng confirmed that Jiang Cheng had no more concerns, he left.

Jiang Cheng and Shen Que both let out a sigh of relief.

At that moment, they decided to go home.

The two left immediately, catching the earliest flight back to Beijing.

After getting off the plane, they rushed home without stopping.

Nothing more, they missed home.

Upon arriving at the courtyard house, the first person they saw when they opened the door was Shen Xing, wearing an apron.

Little Zhuang Zhuang was clinging to Shen Xing’s leg, pleading for him to make him big chicken drumsticks.

"No way! You’ve already had chicken drumsticks today, eating too much will give you a tummy ache."

"Does Uncle not like me anymore?"

Zhuang Zhuang looked pathetically at Shen Xing, who couldn’t help but think of when he could return to his unit as he couldn’t handle it anymore.

The sound of the door opening made the uncle and nephew look up together, and the next second, Zhuang Zhuang let go of his hold.

"Mom!"

Zhuang Zhuang, like a little cannonball, charged forward, and Jiang Cheng stepped forward to catch him, hugging him tightly.

"Mom missed you so much!"

Zhuang Zhuang’s line was stolen.

"Mom—I missed you the most!"

Zhuang Zhuang said this with his little mouth pursed, looking pitiful and hugging Jiang Cheng’s neck.

"Mom.... you were gone for several days, and Zhuang Zhuang couldn’t sleep well at night."

"And Uncle wouldn’t let me eat drumsticks, look, my little tummy is all shriveled."

After Zhuang Zhuang said this, Shen Xing behind him was red with embarrassment, looking wronged as if falsely accused.
