181: Jiang Lao Huangniu's workload has been reduced

When Jiang Fei picked up the walkie-talkie to contact Crippled Wang, she saw a van approaching.

Crippled Wang and the others, wearing protective suits, got out of the car, dragging an unfamiliar man whose face was black and blue from a beating.

“Sorry, Boss, we’re late.”

“This person has been tracking us for three days, and each time he managed to slip away like a loach. We only caught him today.”

Crippled Wang roughly pulled the man over: “Tell me again what you just told me!”

The man stammered to Jiang Fei: “I am Li Shan, Shang Guangwang’s informant planted in the police station.”

“Shang Guangwang suspects that you and your boss can produce so many supplies by robbing others, so he sent me to watch you and investigate this matter.”

“But the community is under lockdown, and I’m not a resident, so I couldn’t get into Mingshang. I could only follow these people… Ouch!”

Crippled Wang kicked Li Shan down: “Get to the point!”

“Alright, alright.” Li Shan hurriedly scrambled to his feet, speaking rapidly:

“Shang Guangwang resents the authorities for not helping him find the murderer of his son, so he bribed infected survivors and ordered them to deliberately spread the virus in the Planting Base, hoping to retaliate against the authorities in this way.”

“I didn’t know Shang Guangwang’s plan at first. I thought he would stop after causing the Planting Base to fall.”

“Who knew he would actually ask me to continue finding infected people and spread the virus everywhere, wanting the entire Safety Shelter to be buried with Mr. Shang.”

“Shang Guangwang doesn’t even care about my life!”

Li Shan said indignantly.

Shang Guangwang was unkind to him, so he shouldn't be blamed for betraying him!

Anyway, whether he spoke or not, there wouldn't be a good outcome, so he might as well drag Shang Guangwang down with him!

Jiang Fei felt a surge of anger in her heart: “Like father, like son.”

“Both father and son treat human lives as dirt.”

Crippled Wang: “Boss, what should we do now?”

He used force to interrogate Li Shan, wanting to find out who sent him, but he never expected to uncover such a shocking secret.

After learning about Shang Guangwang’s conspiracy, he immediately came to find Jiang Fei.

“Go to the police station and find Director Ning to handle it.”

“You get in the truck, this person comes with me.”

To prevent Li Shan from playing tricks on the way, Jiang Fei found a rope and tied him up.

She secretly affixed a compliance talisman.

The talisman disappeared on Li Shan’s back, and Jiang Fei asked:

“Tell me honestly, have you seen who was loading medicinal herbs onto the truck?”

Before she loaded the medicinal herbs, she would check if anyone was around, even sweeping the shop's doors and windows.

She could confirm that no one saw what they shouldn't have.

But she still needed to ask clearly.

It’s always right to be careful in everything.

“No, I always thought that the cripple was here to pick up the car and then go somewhere to load goods, so I only followed them.”

“As a result, the first time I followed them, I was discovered. They became very vigilant, either taking a long detour to shake me off or trying to catch me. To this day, I don’t know the loading location.”

Li Shan answered truthfully, not noticing anything unusual about his body.

Jiang Fei drove to the police station.

The police officers at the entrance disinfected them and their car with alcohol.

Subsequently, Crippled Wang and the others handed the truck keys to the police officers to move the medicinal herb boxes, and Jiang Fei was responsible for taking Li Shan to the office.

Director Ning was handling official business, with Xiao Ma standing by.

Seeing that the person knocking and entering was Jiang Fei, Director Ning joked: “You haven’t shown up for several days. Are you here to collect gold today?”

“And there’s an important matter to report to the Director,” Jiang Fei signaled Li Shan to speak.

Li Shan was very cooperative, detailing Shang Guangwang’s conspiracy, including his previous multiple abuses of power.

“I can find those several infected survivors to testify, I just hope the authorities will treat me leniently because of my confession…”

Bang—!

The document slammed heavily on the table, and the loud noise instantly silenced Li Shan.

“No wonder Mr. Shang could do something like eat human flesh. Turns out his old man isn’t a good person either!”

Director Ning cursed angrily.

A moment later, he calmed down, his eyes gleaming with chilling coldness.

“Xiao Ma, notify Xu Qianyao to lead a team to arrest Shang Guangwang. Li Shan will be temporarily held in prison.”

“If Shang Guangwang attempts to escape or refuses to admit his crimes, kill him on the spot! Hang his body in the most conspicuous place in the Safety Shelter to be exposed to the sun! As a warning to others!”

“Yes.” Xiao Ma took the order and withdrew, taking Li Shan with him.

“Little Jiang, thank you so much this time for helping the Safety Shelter eliminate a scourge!” Director Ning poured Jiang Fei a glass of water:

“You don’t need to wait for the medicinal herbs downstairs to be counted. Just tell me how much gold, and I’ll have someone load it for you.”

Jiang Fei: “The price of each medicinal herb is still 100 grams of gold per plant.”

“10 types of medicinal herbs total 1,150,000 plants, which is 115,000,000 grams of gold.”

Director Ning immediately called a police officer to fetch the gold.

He had recently transferred all the gold from the nearby resettlement areas to the Safety Shelter, which was enough to pay for the medicinal herbs.

After arranging the gold matter, Director Ning seemed to remember something, taking out 4 small square packages wrapped in kraft paper from his drawer, unable to suppress his excitement.

“The Research Institute has developed an antidote herbal medicine for the virus!”

“They sent me a few packages of herbal medicine tonight. Take these four packages back and share them with your friends.”

“One package needs to be boiled in one liter of water for half an hour, enough for 5 people to drink. It can not only treat the virus but also prevent it, reducing the possibility of infection.”

“If it’s not enough, don’t worry. Once the quarantine zone is under control, the authorities will have the communities in each residential area distribute the antidote soup.”

The epidemic in the quarantine zone is the most severe, so the medicine naturally needs to be used there first.

“Thank you, Director Ning.”

Jiang Fei went downstairs with the herbal medicine packages.

All the medicinal herbs had been moved off the truck and transported away.

Wu Dayong and Wu Xiaowei were helping the police officers move the gold.

Crippled Wang, Dao Ba, and A Meng were hiding in the driver's seat of one of the trucks and not coming out.

Jiang Fei opened the car door and got in, giving Crippled Wang a package and telling him how to boil it.

The remaining three packages were just right: one for Xiao Chuxia and her colleague, one for the 3rd floor of Building 2 and Grandma Xu’s family, and one for the branch store.

Crippled Wang, holding the herbal medicine package, silently thanked his lucky stars for knowing Jiang Fei for the umpteenth time.

It was good to have someone powerful to rely on!

With plenty of manpower at the police station, the gold was loaded before midnight.

Including the original 5 trucks, there were a total of 30 large trucks.

Jiang Fei and Crippled Wang and the others couldn't drive them away at all.

Unable to collect them into the Supermarket on the spot, Jiang Fei had to go back upstairs to ask Director Ning for help.

“My boss’s people will be waiting outside. Can the Comrades help me drive them out of the Safety Shelter?”

The act had to be complete.

Moreover, 30 trucks full of gold were too much; she couldn’t say she would find a place to hide them like before.

Director Ning agreed to Jiang Fei’s request.

So, Jiang Fei drove the truck in front to lead the way, followed by Crippled Wang and the police officers driving the trucks.

They drove out of the Safety Shelter and into a remote, desolate wilderness.

Jiang Fei stopped the car.

The police officers helped her move the gold boxes down, placing them on the ground.

While no one was paying attention to her, Jiang Fei opened the truck compartment and took out 30 bottles of energy drinks from the Supermarket warehouse, according to the number of people.

Apples, oranges, pears, self-heating beef hotpot, and luncheon meat, 30 servings each.

She packed them in plastic bags and gave them to Crippled Wang and the others to secretly put in the driver's cabs of the official trucks.

The extra 5 servings were for Crippled Wang’s group of 5.

Everyone had been busy with her affairs, so she had to treat them to a late-night snack.

Dessert after the meal also had to be arranged.

Nearly three hours later, the boxes filled with gold were piled up into small mountains.

Jiang Fei’s 5 trucks remained.

Crippled Wang and the others returned in the official trucks.

A police officer discovered the food in the driver’s cab, opened the window, and thanked Jiang Fei.

After everyone had finished saying their thanks, another half an hour passed.

As soon as everyone drove away, Jiang Fei immediately put the gold and trucks into the Supermarket.

Jiang Fei’s eyes lit up.

Wouldn’t that mean she would only have to plant from now on and no longer have to grunt and groan while harvesting vegetables and fruits?!

The workload of a workhorse was finally reduced!
