"I have no interest in being a civil servant, and I've already found a job," Jiang Jiewen quickly replied.
"Really? What job did you find?" Jiang Shi asked, frowning.
"It's in Shanghai, with an annual salary of a million. It's my professional field. Look, this is Miss Jiang's number. Miss Jiang is the president of Remote Group in Shanghai. You must have heard of Remote Group, right?" Jiang Jiewen said, omitting the fact that Jiang Chen had helped her secure the job to avoid her father's nagging.
"Since you've found a job, then that's that. But you have to promise me not to see Jiang Chen again. Honestly, that kid is just playing with your feelings and really thinks he's something special. Even though I've spent my whole life in this small county, I know there are people better than him out there. With your qualifications, what kind of boyfriend can't you find? Just now, Li Fuxiu was very impressed with you and intended to introduce his son to you. Does Jiang Chen even compare to Li Fuxiu?" Jiang Shi said, his dissatisfaction with Jiang Chen still evident.
Jiang Jiewen fell silent, unsure how to argue with her father, so she chose not to speak.
Once her father left, Jiang Jiewen secretly called Jiang Chen.
"Jiang Chen, you haven't left yet, have you? Can you stay in Qingcheng for a couple more days?" During their tea time earlier, Jiang Jiewen had learned that Jiang Chen was planning to go to An Province to celebrate the New Year with his godmother. She had known about him taking a god-sister for some time.
"Oh, I haven't left yet. There are still eight days until the New Year. If you need me, I can stay in Qingcheng for a couple more days," Jiang Chen replied on the phone.
"My dad seems to have run into some tricky business; maybe you can help out. Once I figure things out, I'll tell you more!" Jiang Jiewen added.
"Okay!" Jiang Chen agreed. He was willing to accommodate Jiang Jiewen's request as much as possible.
Jiang Chen continued to stay at his grandmother's house.
That night, a light snow began to fall. At this moment, thirty miles from Qingcheng County on Qingyi Mountain, several police cars slowly made their way along the mountain road. This road had been carved out by the mine long ago, but it had been abandoned for years and rarely saw visitors.
As they reached halfway up the mountain and were still some distance from the mine, a landslide buried the road ahead. The police cars had no choice but to stop as a group of officers got out, led by Jiang Shi and Li Fuxiu.
This should be the crime scene they mentioned earlier in the afternoon.
"Li Fuxiu, why don't you stay here while we go ahead and take a look?" Jiang Shi suggested with a serious expression.
"Let's all go together, Jiang Shi. Do you think I haven't seen my fair share of storms as a director? Since I'm here now, I want to be on-site myself. I want to see what exactly is causing trouble here," Li Fuxiu said sternly.
Since Li Fuxiu insisted on going together, Jiang Shi didn't argue further. Although this case was strange, there had been no casualties and thus should pose no danger; besides, there were over twenty armed police officers present tonight.
The group braved the light rain as they navigated around the landslide. In the darkness of night, the forest was particularly eerie; beams of flashlight occasionally pierced through the rain curtain.
A week ago, several college students seeking adventure brought tents to Qingyi Mountain for wilderness survival training. That night, they camped at the mine. Although it was abandoned, many basic facilities remained intact. They set up their tents in a dilapidated building and raised their glasses under the moonlight while drinking beer and chatting away.
