Not daring to wake Lin Wan, he got off the kang, went to the kitchen, added a few pieces of coal to the stove, and went out with a bottle of wine in hand, wearing a raincoat.
Han Yi arrived at the office, and Captain Qin had already prepared a couple of appetizers to go with the wine, waiting for him.
"I thought since it’s raining outside, you’d be snuggling in bed with your wife and wouldn’t want to co," Captain Qin laughed when he saw him.
Han Yi smiled helplessly, took out two drinking glasses from the side, and filled them for both. "I just talked to my wife, I’ll bring her so good food later. Let’s arrange it quickly."
"You’re so good at making people do things, just like those guys said. You really are afraid of your wife." Captain Qin said, quickly picking up the phone to call the kitchen staff and asked them to prepare so good food.
After Han Yi sat down, he ate a couple of peanuts without speaking, took a sip from his glass, and so did Captain Qin.
"I know everything about this incident. I was right on your left at the ti, saw clearly. I’ll include it in the report I’m writing tomorrow, believe the leaders will make a judgnt."
"Writing it down is useless, the key is we don’t have solid evidence. Besides, the bullet was indeed mine. No matter what, I’m responsible."
"Do you two have any grudge against each other?"
Han Yi looked up at Captain Qin, lowered his head, thought for a while, and said, "It’s just being born in the wrong family, catching his eye."
Captain Qin sighed, "He’s from the Southern area, we’re far away. If it wasn’t for this ti, he wouldn’t have had this chance, it’s just that it was your bullet that injured the hostage. Although not fatal, it’s still your responsibility. This promotion is probably going to be delayed."
"No matter, everything has been going smoothly for these years, maybe heaven can’t bear it and wants to give so trouble. Just as well, my wife is pregnant, we’re closer here, I can often see her."
"Good that you’re thinking positively, I’ll explain this incident to the higher-ups, try to minimize your punishnt."
"Thank you, Captain Qin."
"What are you thanking for, I just don’t want our team to lose a good seed. Besides, you’ve not only saved Old i’s life but also mine. Publicly and privately, I should care about you."
Han Yi didn’t speak, took a hearty sip of his wine.
Getting frad is not sothing anyone takes well. The problem is you know who did it but can do nothing about it, watching them gloat.
Telling others, teammates and friends believe you, leaders are doubtful, but there’s no way to incriminate them.
No matter the era, power is infinite. However... he’s not that easy to bully.
When Han Yi returned slling of alcohol, Lin Wan was sitting on the bed knitting a scarf.
"Why haven’t you slept?"
"Did you drink?" Lin Wan didn’t answer, instead leaned in close to him and sniffed hard. Even with a stuffy nose, she could sll it.
"Yeah, not much." Han Yi took out the two steaming hot lunch boxes he was carrying.
Inside, there were two leek pies and a portion of rice porridge.
"Where did the leeks co from?"
"The kitchen staff made a greenhouse themselves, not much grown, hurry up and eat, or it’ll get cold."
Lin Wan took a bite, indeed, things not commonly seen are delicious. She took two bites and then shoved the other half into Han Yi’s mouth, "After you left, I drank a lot of hot water, feel too full to finish, you try so too."
"I just ate a lot, not hungry. If you can’t finish it, just leave it, heat it up tomorrow, it won’t spoil." Han Yi turned his head away, unwilling to take a bite.
"It’s too greasy, you eat this half, leave the rest in the kitchen." How a leek pie turned into sothing they hadn’t eaten in years, the couple kept pushing it to each other.
Han Yi was forced by Lin Wan to eat it. The rice porridge, she drank more than half of it and stopped, really too full, "Are you still uncomfortable now?"
"Much better, at this rate, I’ll be fine in a couple of days. Go wash up, you’re covered in the sll of booze."
"You can sll it, so you’re better." Han Yi rubbed her hair, stood up, and went out to wash.
Han Yi heated the stove in the kitchen before returning to the room, "I don’t know when this rain will stop."
"Probably rain all day tomorrow too. I’ll stay at ho with you tomorrow," Han Yi said lying beside Lin Wan.
"Didn’t you say you only have one day off?"
"I haven’t handled that matter yet, no result, I can only stay at ho," Han Yi suddenly thought of sothing and asked, "Xiao Wan, if I can’t stay in the team in the future, what should I do?" When Han Yi returned from Captain Qin’s, he thought about this question, if no longer in the team, what could he do outside? It seed like besides hunting, he couldn’t do anything, not even farming. If it really ca to that, how would he support his wife and child?
"What’s there to worry about, my biggest wish in life is to open a clothing factory and be my own boss. You can drive, when the ti cos, we’ll buy a car, you’ll be responsible for transporting goods... Um... if you feel it’s stifling to stay around your wife, you can also start your own business. Don’t you know, you’re good at cooking? You can open a restaurant, many of them, earn money, then buy more land, build factories, rent them to others, be a landlord, do nothing, and the money just cos rolling in. There are so many ways to make money." Lin Wan touched Han Yi’s face and said, "Is this incident very serious?"
"No, I just never thought about this question before, suddenly thought of it today, felt a bit confused." Han Yi smiled, thinking he had stayed too long in the team, unfamiliar with outside work. With his previous knack for trading goods in the black market, even if he’s really not in the team, he wouldn’t let his wife and kids starve.
"Han Yi, no matter where you are, or what you do, I’ll support you. Don’t have any burden in your heart. This incident, though I don’t know much, I know it was done by the i family, they’re in the Capital City, powerful. You must be careful in the army, okay?"
"I know, don’t worry, it’s just a punishnt, a serious warning at most, no promotion opportunity for the next two years. i Shuping wants back, in the team he wants to climb up, there’s no ti to make trouble behind my back. i Langchi did this probably to stop from returning."
"Their family, we don’t covet. If it doesn’t work out in the team, we’ll leave. Never confront them head-on. No matter where, we serve the country."
"Don’t worry, I have connections after these years in the army, just don’t want to bother others. i Langchi can only play small tricks, if I want to deal with him, a couple of things can bring him down."
Lin Wan was surprised, looked at Han Yi with raised eyebrows, "Wow, when did my husband beco so capable?"
Han Yi smiled faintly, "Rember Captain Zhang you t in Huai Town?"
Lin Wan nodded, how could she forget? To find an excuse to give Han Yi a sweater, she even pulled in Captain Zhang and sent him one too, not knowing if he received the sweater she sent.
"He’s now in the Southern Military Region, already a brigade commander, and i Langchi is in their brigade."
"Ah, hubby, you’re bad, are you planning to cause him trouble?"
"I didn’t beco the heartless cold-faced Yama for nothing, this silent loss can’t be taken for nothing, must be returned. Let him also taste the bitterness of silent suffering."
"Do your leaders know about this?"
"This kind of thing, it’s enough for to know myself."
Lin Wan smiled, she knew, her husband had a dark side, how could he suffer a loss for nothing? Taking down i Langchi, she wholeheartedly supported this.
"Just be careful yourself."
"Hmm, I have a sense of proportion," Han Yi squinted at Lin Wan.
The only thing that moved were his eyes projecting grievances, but she didn’t care at all, treating him very well, full of energy every day, when in a good mood in the morning, even knitted a scarf for an hour with her help.
The rain outside poured for a day and a night, only showing signs of stopping in the evening.
They stayed in at ho, except for reading and chatting, they couldn’t do anything else.
