Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire-Chapter 59: First Encounter

"Who wants to call the police!"

The deep and commanding voice of Leader Tang rang outside the door, and the next second, his broad frame entered first.

"Who wants to call the police?"

Leader Tang’s eyes scanned over Jiang Cheng, confirming he was fine before looking at the family shouting about calling the police.

Oh my gosh!

If it weren’t for the clothes, he might not have recognized whether it was a person or a pig’s head.

This won’t do!

Seems like I’ll need to find a day to teach Jiang Cheng how to choose his targets when hitting someone.

Leader Tang’s thoughts started to wander.

"Leader Tang, what brings you here?"

Uncle Sun knew Leader Tang.

Leader Tang was in charge of police affairs in this area, and they’d met a few times.

Leader Tang nodded at Uncle Sun and said, "I came to see Jiang Cheng about something, but let’s resolve the current issue first."

He widened his eyes, and the two police officers behind him understood immediately to talk to the Lin Family and others nearby to understand the situation.

A group of people, each adding their story.

The situation was almost sorted out.

Leader Tang put on a stern face, looked at Jiang Cheng seriously, and said, "Mr. Jiang, although the other party was wrong first, you should also try to resolve things peacefully."

"You’re absolutely right."

Jiang Cheng lowered his head honestly.

"In civil disputes, since Mr. Jiang didn’t use any lethal weapons, maybe everyone should take a step back, and let’s leave it at that!"

Leader Tang’s words settled the matter, and the Lin Family wasn’t foolish.

It was clear to anyone that this Leader Tang was helping Jiang Cheng.

At the moment, the systems for prosecution and compensation aren’t very well developed, so everyone is used to resolving things privately.

In fact, the Lin Family started the trouble, and Lin Jiaojiao, who got hit multiple times with a shoe, apart from the unsightly swelling, didn’t really have any severe injuries.

The Lin Family, having suffered several losses in one night, returned to their house in frustration.

A few minutes later, the Lin Family erupted in the first burst of truth under their fake peace.

Jiang Cheng didn’t concern herself with the Lin Family’s quarrels; she leaned close to Leader Tang and whispered, "Is there something going on?"

Leader Tang nodded slightly.

Jiang Cheng understood this wasn’t something to discuss here, but she was anxious. Leader Tang wouldn’t have personally come if it wasn’t urgent.

"I’ll come out right away."

Jiang Cheng turned around to make some arrangements.

Principal Wang and others packed up the gifts, and Principal Wang formally gave Jiang Cheng a stamped receipt.

"Thank you, Jiang Cheng."

"No worries, just remember I like meat when you send meals in the future."

Jiang Cheng’s half-joking remark was deeply remembered by Principal Wang.

Jiang Cheng exchanged a few words with Grandma Shen, thanked the Li Family, bid farewell to Uncle Sun, and finally left the courtyard with her backpack, following Leader Tang.

Once out of the courtyard, Leader Tang teased Jiang Cheng, "Such a small person, but quite busy."

"Can’t help it, excellent people are like that."

Jiang Cheng’s unabashed statement made Leader Tang burst out laughing.

Upon leaving the alley, Jiang Cheng spotted a jeep, indicating she was going on a long trip.

"Get in the car, I’ll tell you on the way."

"Alright!"

Jiang Cheng got in, sitting alone in the back, while Leader Tang and another driver were in the front.

Inside the car.

"Captain Zhong followed Sister Kong’s leads and tracked down the trafficking group, but the core member from the other side is a person from Country R. Right now, we don’t have anyone who speaks R-language, and Elder Xu’s arrival would take too long, so he recommended you go to help translate."

"It’s in the neighboring city, about three to four hours’ drive. If you can nap, try to catch some sleep."

Jiang Cheng nodded understandingly and said, "I’m not sleepy yet, I’ll read for a bit."

As she spoke, Jiang Cheng took out a dictionary and a flashlight from her backpack.

The flashlight illuminated the car’s interior, unaffected by the car’s swaying, Jiang Cheng calmly turned a page.

"Why did you bring a dictionary?"

"My greatest value lies in translating; you can’t have called me to catch thieves."

"So I brought three dictionaries, a flashlight, and a few batteries."

Immersed in her reading again, Leader Tang felt too embarrassed to speak further.

The driver tried to drive as smoothly as possible.

Currently, the road conditions were quite poor, with very few smooth paved roads. A flat gravel road was considered a blessing.

Not to mention having to navigate backroads from time to time, relying entirely on the driver’s memory of the route.

That’s one of the reasons drivers were particularly sought after in this era.

Throughout the journey, Jiang Cheng didn’t rest, continuously engrossed in her book.

After three hours and forty-seven minutes, having adjusted her position countless times, Jiang Cheng finally arrived.

She hopped out, dashed to a nearby ditch.

"Ugh——-"

She threw up!

Got shaken up!

Couldn’t withstand it any longer!

"Jiang Cheng!"

Leader Tang called out, quickly following her, signaling the driver to bring some water.

In an unnoticed corner, a tall man in full military gear, upon hearing the name "Jiang Cheng," immediately looked up.

The next second, he got up, with his long legs stepping forward, and handed over his canteen.

"Water!"

Leader Tang glanced at him in surprise, unable to recognize the man whose face was covered in camouflage paint before him.

However, at this location, and with the other person wearing green, he instinctively took the canteen and handed it to Jiang Cheng.

"Drink some water."

"I was just thinking you’re good with car rides because you seemed completely fine, but look at you now!"

"Why would you read if you’re feeling unwell!"

Jiang Cheng was rinsing her mouth.

How could she not read!

She’s already incredibly capable, and if she isn’t diligent and hard-working, how would others trust her!

If they don’t trust her, what if they turn her into a spy and capture her!

That would be so unfair to her.

Plus, reviewing old material and learning new things is how knowledge works.

Feeling a lot better after throwing up, Jiang Cheng stood up, handing the canteen back to Leader Tang, "I’m fine, just needed to throw up! Let’s get on with our business."

Once Leader Tang confirmed Jiang Cheng was genuinely fine, he casually returned the canteen to the nearby man.

He thanked him without delving further.

The man followed rules, so no probing questions were allowed.

"No need to thank."

Shen Que took back the canteen, his gaze resting on Jiang Cheng.

Is she really Jiang Cheng?

In the same city, doing translations, with the same name, Shen Que felt he couldn’t be mistaken.

"Captain!"

Another person with a face painted in camouflage ran over.

"Captain, Captain Zhong said the translator has arrived; we need to be ready to move out anytime."

"Let’s go!"

Shen Que collected his thoughts and strode away.

Jiang Cheng suddenly looked back, sensing someone was watching her.

But as she glanced back, all she saw was pitch black, not spotting anyone.

She shrugged, following Leader Tang into a courtyard where she met Uncle Zhong. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Uncle Zhong approached immediately to update Jiang Cheng.

"A batch of goods has been sent out, and we need to recover it. There will be interrogations, and you’ll handle the translations, but if there’s an opportunity to extract more information, feel free to use your creativity."

Jiang Cheng solemnly stated, "I understand."

Both sides didn’t delay, and Jiang Cheng was taken into a room.

A table, three chairs, two people, sitting face-to-face.

Once inside, she directly pulled out the empty chair and sat down.

Translation ready, Interrogation began.
