The entire mining area was searched, but fortunately, Qiao Lanshu provided information about Chu Liangjun, making the search much easier.

Two bags of explosives went missing from the construction site, and the supervisors were terrified because they didn't know when or who stole them.

If it was just a worker stealing it out of personal grudge, then the problem isn't that serious.

But if spies or agents infiltrated their construction site to steal explosives for a terrorist attack, then they'd be doomed.

As a result of such consequences, the site supervisors would all have to go to military courts, and labor reform would be the least of their worries; the worst they would face is being shot.

Immediately, everyone was searching for explosives and arresting Chu Liangjun.

Qin Yuanzheng brought Qiao Lanshu to his office.

He gestured for Qiao Lanshu to sit down, then looked at her with a serious expression: "What happened with today's police report? The other party threatened to bomb you, why didn't you tell me?"

Of course, I can't say that, since it was just an excuse she made up when she filed the police report.

Qin Yuanzheng stared at her, his voice heavy and deep. He said, "Qiao Lanshu, you'd better tell the truth. I'm interrogating you now."

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qin Yuanzheng was truly angry this time; she had never seen him angry with her before.

I finally saw it this time.

Qiao Lanshu gets nervous whenever Qin Yuanzheng gets angry, after all, Qin Yuanzheng's imposing aura is quite intimidating.

At this point, there was no need to hide anything from Qin Yuanzheng.

Chu Liangjun hadn't done anything wrong before, so even if Qin Yuanzheng had told him, it wouldn't have caused any harm to Chu Liangjun. On the contrary, going against someone like him would have affected Qin Yuanzheng.

Qiao Lanshu looked at Qin Yuanzheng and told the truth: "He actually didn't say he wanted to blow me up. I made up this lie so that I could report it to the police and have them investigate the construction site."

Qin Yuanzheng: "???"

Qin Yuanzheng looked surprised when he heard this.

Because in his eyes, his wife was obedient, docile, and kind.

He never imagined that she would be so bold as to fabricate a lie to report the crime.

Before Qin Yuanzheng could speak, he saw Qiao Lanshu looking at him with teary eyes. She asked softly, "Brother Zheng, do you think I'm a bad person? Will you dislike me because of this?"

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

No, he hasn't said anything yet.

Why did Qiao Lanshu start crying?

He sat down as usual, hugged her, and patted her gently: "Sweetie, don't cry."

He paused for two seconds, then released Qiao Lanshu, but his tone was no longer as serious as before.

Qin Yuanzheng: "So, you were certain that Chu Liangjun would steal the explosives, but you had no evidence, so you fabricated a lie to get the police to investigate at the construction site, right?"

Qiao Lanshu nodded: "Yes."

Qin Yuanzheng knew that his wife was kind-hearted and would never lie without a reason.

She must have felt conflicted when she lied to the police officers.

Qin Yuanzheng softened; he realized he had been too harsh and probably scared his wife.

His voice softened again as he looked at Qiao Lanshu and asked, "How did you know he would steal explosives?"

Qiao Lanshu wiped her eyes and secretly glanced at Qin Yuanzheng. Seeing that Qin Yuanzheng wasn't so angry anymore, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems her crying just now was perfectly timed.

There was no one else in the office, just the two of them, so Qiao Lanshu said directly, "I dreamed about it."

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Qin Yuanzheng's expression, which had just calmed down, slowly turned serious again.

Qiao Lanshu shrank her neck and told him, "I mentioned before that I dreamed of a man with a scar on his face. On the night I arrived in Longcheng, he tied me up and took me to the village, where he locked me in a cave dwelling... for two years."

Qin Yuanzheng knew this; Qiao Lanshu had mentioned it long ago.

Qiao Lanshu continued:

"I saw him in my dream. This person was Chu Liangjun. In the dream, Chu Liangjun not only locked me up, but he also stole explosives from the construction site and buried them on the way home of his aunt, who was Chu Haiming's wife, and injured her."

I thought to myself, this dream felt so real, this man really exists, and he even followed me and brought me things. Could he really have gone to steal explosives? I was uneasy, worried that he might have stolen the explosives and injured someone. I thought about reporting it to the police so they could investigate. If he hadn't stolen them, I could finally relax.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuanzheng immediately stopped being angry with Qiao Lanshu.

He was reminded of the time when they had just gotten married, when Qiao Lanshu would have nightmares all the time and wake up in the middle of the night.

Who would have thought that this was just a dream, yet it felt so real?

The villain from my dream actually appeared in real life.

Thinking about it, it is indeed quite frightening.

Qin Yuanzheng held Qiao Lanshu in his arms and said in a low voice, "When we get back, tell me all about your dream."

Now, he has to capture Chu Liangjun first.

Qiao Lanshu nodded: "Okay."

Qin Yuanzheng personally inspected the area around the office and confirmed that it was safe and free of explosives.

Then he arranged for guards to watch over the office and protect Qiao Lanshu.

He then led his men to personally arrest the people.

……

Chu Liangjun found his opportunity when everyone went to have dinner and only one person was left to guard the warehouse in the afternoon, just as everyone else was about to finish work.

The houses on the construction site were all haphazardly built with corrugated iron sheets, and some of them didn't even have door latches.

Although the management of explosives is very strict, it is not entirely without loopholes.

The explosives came in small packets, and he couldn't understand them. He just thought that a packet of explosives was only the size of two bricks, and its power might not be enough to kill a person.

So he stole two packets.

He rushed out of the construction site with two bags of explosives, without even having eaten.

The explosives were detonated with a fuse. He thought they were similar to firecrackers, so he wasn't afraid.

He stuffed the explosives into his cotton-padded coat and hurriedly left the construction site.

He wanted to return to the city because the military in the mining area was strictly managed, and he couldn't find an opportunity to make a move.

Qin Yuanzheng and Qiao Lanshu lived in a military compound, but he couldn't bomb the compound, for fear of accidentally hurting Qiao Lanshu.

He still wanted to take Qiao Lanshu home, but he didn't want to accidentally hurt her.

After much thought, he decided to stake out the area on the way back to the city from the mining area.

Before that, he had to find a place to bury the explosives, and then ignite them when Qin Yuanzheng drove by!

However, to his surprise, he had only run out of the construction site a short time ago, and had not even entered the city, when he saw the police car!

Chu Liangjun was extremely nervous, carrying explosives in his arms.

At this time of day, getting back to the city is troublesome; the weather is too cold, and there are no buses running.

He used to live in the temporary workers' dormitory at the construction site, but now he doesn't dare to go back.

Chu Liangjun quietly arrived near the mining area, only to see the soldiers of the mining area's military unit beginning to assemble.

He knew that his theft of explosives had been exposed.

In the pitch-black winter night, Chu Liangjun's hands and feet were numb from the cold.

He crouched on the mountain road near the mining area, now unable to move forward or backward.

Chu Liangjun remained silent for a long time, then gritted his teeth and whispered, "Damn it, if you don't give me a way out, I won't let you get away with it!"

He's going to blow up the mine right now!
