Chapter 370 Reward
On the second day, the two black market bosses from the west and south woke up slowly from their comas, their minds still filled with the confusion and pain of last night's attack.
They slowly opened their eyes, and their vision gradually became clearer, but everywhere they looked, there was nothing.
The place that was once filled with goods is now just a dead silent space.
"This... this can't be real... this must be a nightmare..."
The black market boss in the west muttered to himself with trembling lips, but the cruel reality before him was like a sharp blade, piercing his eyes fiercely.
The black market boss in the south was not much better. His face was as pale as paper and beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead.
The sudden blow made his heart feel like it was being clamped tightly by a pair of iron pliers, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
In extreme shock and despair, the two of them fainted again at the same time, as if this would allow them to escape from this terrible nightmare.
When they woke up again, they had to accept the hellish reality before their eyes. The anger, fear and despair suppressed in their hearts erupted like a volcano, turning into a roar from the depths of their souls.
"Ah! Who is it? Who did it?"
The black market boss in the west pounded the ground frantically. His hands were soon covered in blood, but he didn't feel any pain at all. His heart was filled with endless hatred and grief for the loss of his wealth.
The black market boss in the south had red eyes, like a mad bull. He smashed everything around him, and his roar echoed in the empty house: "Whoever did it, I will cut that guy into pieces! I will make him die miserably!"
However, no matter how loudly they roared, the cruel reality stood coldly before them like an unshakable mountain.
The wealth they had accumulated with years of hard work disappeared without a trace overnight, like snow in the sun.
As the bosses of the black market, they are facing unprecedented difficulties at this moment.
They had no way of explaining to their brothers who were eagerly waiting to share the money, and their former prestige was gone at this moment.
Those subordinates who usually obeyed their orders gradually showed suspicion and dissatisfaction in their eyes.
Before long, the black market bosses who had lost their wealth were like wizards who had lost their magic powers, and could no longer mobilize their brothers.
The people under their command began to scatter and look for new backers, and they completely lost their qualifications to be the boss.
And behind them, those backers hiding in the dark will not tolerate worthless pawns.
The law of survival of the fittest was vividly demonstrated in this dark world. Soon, the people in power completely lost their patience with them and discarded them like garbage.
At the same time, Li Weiguo was quietly changing the situation.
Over the next few days, he carefully selected several smaller black markets and struck deals with them on the same terms.
He released sweet potatoes and potatoes in small quantities and multiple times. These life-saving foods circulated in the black market of the old city.
For those families who were originally worried about having something to eat, these sweet potatoes and potatoes temporarily alleviated their difficult situation.
Just when Li Weiguo was planning not to go out for adventure again after tonight, two unexpected people came to his door.
That evening, just as the Li family finished their meal, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.
Li Weiguo ran over and opened the door, and saw Director Wang from the Street Office, with a public security comrade in a white uniform standing next to him.
"Director Wang...who is this?"
When he saw the person coming, Li Weiguo was stunned at first. Looking at the man in the police uniform, he was a little confused for a moment and didn't react to what was going on.
He subconsciously thought that maybe the black market incident had been exposed?
But thinking about it carefully, it seems impossible. With his disguise and current speed, ordinary people can't tell who he is, let alone come to him.
Director Wang knew that he hadn't remembered it, so he smiled and patted Li Weiguo on the shoulder and said, "Weiguo, this is Captain Liu from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. We are here today to thank you."
The person next to him nodded with a smile on his face.
This made Li Weiguo even more confused: "Thank me? Director Wang, this is..." What's going on? Li Weiguo asked with his eyes.
Captain Liu didn't wait for Li Weiguo to finish. He stepped forward and said with a smile, "Young man, don't you remember catching the criminals that night?"
After Captain Liu mentioned this, Li Weiguo suddenly remembered the thrilling scene that night.
Because so many days had passed, Li Weiguo really didn't think about it at the moment.
Li Weiguo let Director Wang and Captain Liu into the Li family yard.
Director Wang walked in and briefly introduced the current situation.
Li Weiguo then realized that the person he met that night was not an ordinary criminal.
The man was an enemy spy lurking in the old city. He was very skilled, cunning and cruel.
In several previous round-up operations, he managed to escape by relying on his superb kung fu and cunning means.
And that night, if Li Weiguo had not happened to appear and help him, he would probably have disappeared without a trace again.
After catching the man, the Municipal Bureau immediately began interrogating him.
Then, following the clues, they captured several enemy spies who were in contact with him and successfully destroyed an underground communication network that transmitted intelligence abroad.
This operation was of great significance. In order to thank Li Weiguo for his help, the Municipal Bureau specially sent Captain Liu to deliver the reward in person.
Captain Liu took out an envelope and an enamel jar from his bag and handed them to Li Weiguo: "Student Li Weiguo, this is a fifty-yuan bonus, and this enamel jar is a reward from your superiors."
Li Weiguo was a little overwhelmed when faced with the two people. He didn't expect that his unintentional action would have such a big impact, and he quickly waved his hand to refuse.
"Captain Liu, Director Wang, I can't accept this reward. I just happened to encounter it that day. Others would do the same."
Director Wang smiled and said, "Weiguo, this is what you deserve. Don't refuse it. You don't know that you have made a great contribution this time."
At this time, the family members in the house heard the noise and came out.
Grandpa Li and Grandma Li walked in front, followed by Li Weiguo's father Li Dajiang, mother Wang Guifang, second uncle Li Dahe, second aunt Wang Dahua, and cousin Li Xinchuang and his younger brothers and sisters.
Grandpa Li looked at the scene and asked, "What's going on? Why is it so lively?"
Director Wang walked over and briefly explained what had happened again. Upon hearing this, the whole family looked at Li Weiguo in surprise.
Li Dajiang also took a few quick steps to meet him, his eyes full of pride: "You are worthy of being my son, you did a great job!"
Captain Liu looked at Li Dajiang and felt that he looked familiar. He asked, "Who are you..."
Director Wang introduced: "Captain Liu, this is Li Weiguo's father, Li Dajiang. He used to be a combat hero. After he retired, he was injured in a fight with enemy agents. Now he has recovered and returned to the steel mill to continue to be the security captain!"
Upon hearing this, Captain Liu's eyes were filled with admiration: "I was wondering why he looked so familiar. I investigated the scene with him back then. He is indeed the descendant of a hero! As expected, a good father will have a good son. The hero has someone to carry on his legacy!"
Li Dajiang said with a smile: "Captain Liu, you are too kind. My past is all in the past. I didn't expect that this kid could also contribute to the country. I am happy for him."
