Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 159 Ambition

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" The secretary stood by the window of the ward with a calm look on his face.

Lin Anna was the only one living in this ward. Because she was a suspect, the police comrades applied to the hospital for her to stay alone in order to facilitate supervision.

Lin Anna's face was pale, her lips were bloodless, and she looked very haggard, but her eyes were bright, as if she was not affected by the injury at all. She showed a gentle smile, and her voice was as clear as a stream. "I'm sorry to trouble you, but I want to stay in the construction team. My goal has not been achieved yet. It's really inconvenient for me to leave."

The secretary turned around and looked at her, knowing clearly what she was thinking.

He only recently learned that a son of a high-ranking official had come to work in the brigade under his commune.

Chen Jinghan's family took care of everything for him and allowed him to go to the countryside as an ordinary high school student in order to avoid any accidents. After all, there are still many villains with ulterior motives active in the country.

Although the two elders of the Chen family were very worried, they believed that their son was old and it was normal for him to want to go out and try his luck. For the safety of their three young people, they carefully selected the construction team because they heard that the living conditions here were relatively good, the people were simple, and it was easy to get along with the villagers.

After that, we strictly controlled the information to prevent it from leaking and quietly arranged for the child to be born.

Why did the secretary know this news? Because of the black market.

It was inevitable that Chen Jinghan and his team’s business would intersect with the black market. As for their partners, with so many people coming and going, someone would always notice something was wrong.

They guessed their identities and backgrounds, and then investigated along the transportation line, and finally dug up Fu Biao's personal situation thoroughly.

The youngest son of the sister of a deputy commander of a certain military region, whose father was the director of an electronics factory in City B, Fu Biao lived with his grandparents in the army since he was a child and had close contacts with a group of children of cadres.

Chen Jinghan's identity was thus indirectly exposed.

Compared to Fu Biao, who is only the nephew of the deputy commander, Chen Jinghan's father is the commander-in-chief of the military region who holds real power. He holds the rank of general and is the direct superior of Jiang Min, the leader of the unit where the secretary's son works. With such an identity, who can resist the temptation and not get close to him?

Therefore, the secretary understood Lin Anna's persistence and also agreed with it. After all, the two of them had already had some interactions, and if Lin Anna succeeded in the future, he would also benefit from it.

The secretary nodded, "I understand. But you have to understand that this matter has become a big deal. All the nearby brigades know about it. Although your identity as a suspect has not been made public due to the investigation of the case, the people in the construction brigade are gritting their teeth at you. I can help you stay, but you will suffer a loss in terms of your identity."

"What do you mean?" Lin Anna couldn't help but frown. She thought that for such a small matter, as long as the superiors put pressure on it, the people below would shut up, and wouldn't everything be solved?

The secretary smiled. He was still young and impatient. He still had to learn some things slowly. "I can let you stay in the construction team, but you must give an explanation to the injured. You don't think you can get away with it without paying any price, do you?"

Lin Anna was a little unhappy, "What's the price?"

"It depends on the final conviction. The specific details will depend on the police station, but it will definitely not be serious. People with serious cases will be sent to farms. As for you, since you have asked me for it, I will arrange for you to be transferred to the construction team when the time comes." The secretary felt that he had done his best. After all, someone had to take responsibility for so many people being injured.

If it is determined to be an accident, then the leadership team will also be the first to suffer. Since Lin Anna is suspected, she will naturally have to plead guilty, but the severity of the crime can still be discussed. Anyway, everyone benefits, right?

Lin Anna heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. She knew very well that the "five black categories" would be abolished in a few years, so she didn't care whether she was demoted or not. She changed her mind and asked another question, "Won't I have a criminal record then?"

The secretary nodded, "Yes, and it will affect your family."

Speaking of Lin Anna's family, he remembered the call from his son. It turned out that Lin Anna was the child of a service soldier beside General Jiang. When she came to the house with a seemingly gentle but actually arrogant attitude, she really scared him and the clerk.

I almost mistakenly thought she had a very remarkable background. When she opened her mouth, she talked about General Chiang, and when she closed her mouth, she talked about Commander Chen and his wife. She really thought of herself as the daughter of a high-ranking official.

Lin Anna suddenly panicked, "No! Absolutely not!" If it would affect her father's work... she didn't even dare to think about the consequences, her father would kill her.

The secretary looked at her performance and lowered his expectations of her. "This is all I can do now. Be prepared."

"No!" Seeing that he was about to leave, Lin Anna hurriedly sat up, then cried out because her injured leg hit her again.

The secretary did not stop and left.

If this girl can't be ruthless, then she won't have much success in the future. Let's wait and see.

Lin Anna shouted loudly, "Stop!" and asked the secretary to go back, but the people outside had already gone far away.

She pressed her aching calf, her eyes bloodshot.

It would leave a criminal record...How could it leave a criminal record? The Chen family would never accept a daughter-in-law with a criminal record.

For that kind of family, no matter how much they love their son, there is a bottom line. A criminal record means that her offspring cannot join the army, which is absolutely unacceptable for Commander Chen, who holds the rank of general.

And there is her father. Lin Anna began to tremble when she thought of her father's fist.

Now that she has a criminal record, will her father lose his job? Lin Anna asked herself uncertainly. If that's the case, she's done!

It’s all Xue Li’s fault. If she didn’t want to kill Xue Li, she wouldn’t have done such a thing. She was also afraid of luring the wild boar down the mountain.

When she first tried it in the mountains, wild boars were running around everywhere. In order to avoid being discovered by the troops in the mountains, she could only use small cannons to try again and again. She was discovered by the fleeing wild boars several times and had to jump into the river to escape.

And Jiang Yu! That woman is really her nemesis! Everything was planned smoothly. If Jiang Yu hadn't smelled the gunpowder, there wouldn't be any follow-up... Lin Anna touched her injured leg and bit her mouth with hatred until blood came out. If it weren't for Jiang Yu, she wouldn't have become a cripple.

This vengeance...Jiang Yu, you wait!

Just when Lin Anna wished she could bite the two men into pieces, Jiang Yu and Xue Li were discussing the follow-up of the case.

The sky gradually turned yellow and the day's work was over.

There was a commotion outside; it was time to get off work at the factory. The workers swarmed out and ran in all directions.
