I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 303 - 283: Run, Go Ahead and Run (Part 3)

So he went to tug on Li Hongmei’s earrings, but Li Hongmei was in a rage and didn’t cooperate. The two started fighting, and the earrings broke off...

An Jian was stunned hearing this.

"Who would have thought a grown guy could be so... superstitious."

"Are there any other clues? Liu Chu left, and Lv Yan had nothing to do with Li Hongmei’s death. Could there be a third person who went to that yard? But at the time..."

"At the time, we only found traces of Li Hongmei there. From Lv Yan’s perspective, I really didn’t see anyone else."

"You’re saying, who would want Li Hongmei dead?"

"Reinvestigate Li Hongmei’s social circles. There must be something we don’t know."

"That’s all we can do. What about that one?" Lv Yan nodded his chin towards the front where Lv Yan was.

Probably because of the snake in her basket, Lv Yan couldn’t wait to get far away from them, pushing the cart so fast their bicycles couldn’t keep up.

"Trafficking, using himself as bait, tricking young girls. He’s been doing it since he was fourteen, the old hand."

An Jian’s face darkened: "Honest, my foot. Wait, I’ll definitely find evidence to make him immortal; such a scourge existing in the world is simply wasting air."

"I’ll write it down on paper later and organize all the information for you."

"Great."

The mood was a bit heavy!

The two exchanged no further words.

Back at the institute, they were exhausted. After reporting to the Gan Institute, Jiang Mingyue gained two hours of free time, while An Jian continued to work.

"Hang in there. I’ll definitely help you deal with those chickens and eggs, and bring you a meal later."

An Jian suddenly felt like life had hope again.

The Southern Institute was only fifteen minutes from Magpie Street, assuming you were cycling.

He let out his spiritual power; no one was watching on Magpie Street, even the sparrows on the walls were abundant.

"Gone all day, where did you go?"

On the wall, his brother was striking poses again.

"Brother, let’s learn from Brother Xie. Image matters."

"Ha! Even without an image, your brother’s charm is maxed out. No need to worry about it."

Alright then!

"Don’t digress! Where did you go?"

He really seemed like a strict father worried about his daughter dating.

"Brother, where else could I go? I was working! Oh, right, just planned to tell you."

Jiang Mingyue briefly explained the situation in Shangfeng Village.

"A lot?"

"Chickens everywhere, every household has stored eggs."

"Ha! Then Lv Yan and his father did a good thing."

"You think so?"

"What else? Wait for the eggs to go bad? But that Jiang Zhenzhu, she’s really heartless. Villagers struggle down to the mountain base, and she shamelessly gives so little money. Alright, I got it. Leave it to me. A few new youngsters are perfect for some training. Repairing the thatch roof, right? Rest assured, we’ll take care of it."

"Will Jiang Zhenzhu marry Ning Yan?"

"I say, sister, don’t you feel it’s unlucky to mention such people?"

Jiang Mingyue fell silent, returned to unit 42, then closed the door and entered the space, soaked in a hot spring bath, and after dressing, she processed An Jian’s chickens and eggs.

There were twenty-seven chickens, ten made into pine needle roast chickens, ten into braised chickens, seven made into beggar’s chickens, while the eggs were all turned into preserved eggs as An Jian requested.

In just three minutes, everything was prepared.

With time to spare, she gave Lightning food for two meals, ate her fill, then harvested the crops in the field, sowed seeds, and completed watering.

Uncertain of what Mrs. Jiang and the others were doing, Jiang Mingyue extended her spiritual power.

In the three-room courtyard, Mrs. Jiang was baking crispy cookies in front of the bread oven, and her second brother reached out to grab, only to be slapped away by Mrs. Jiang.

"Don’t even think about it, these are for Yueyue. That girl is outside. Who knows if she’s taking care of herself?"

Jiang Jianjun rubbed his nose, he also missed his sister.

He suggested: "Mom, how about I go to the city to see my sister, and deliver the cookies for you?"

Mrs. Jiang thought it feasible, her smile towards her second son was a bit more sincere: "Sure, go get the basket. These cookies can be packed in it."

Xia Xiaosi and the third sister spontaneously went to get a backpack.

"Mom, should we gather some other things to take to Yueyue together?"

Mrs. Jiang waved her hand, "Go, go, go. The dumplings we made in the morning, I left a bowl aside, also give it to Yueyue. She can just toss them in the pot and eat them."

Jiang Mingyue’s heart felt warm, like a warm current passing through.

Alright, there’s motivation to strive again.

Besides bringing An Jian some food, Jiang Mingyue brought ten corn buns, so if anyone got hungry, they could eat.

And as it turned out, she had thought it through well; none of the people had time to sit down for a meal, so having buns, even if they were cold and hard, was quite fortunate to fill the stomach.

"Thank you! Thank you! Mingyue, I’ll bring you something tasty next time."

"Mingyue, there are tangerines in my yard. I’ll pick some for you next time."

"Mingyue..."

"Hurry up and work. The sooner we solve the case, the sooner we can go home and sleep, otherwise we’ll be stuck here, busy until late."

An Jian was also quite agitated; he had no time to eat the fragrant meal, so he could only grab a bun first.

But when An Jian remembered about his lunchbox that evening, it was long gone, and later, he only found it in the Gan Institute’s office, but Gan Institute played dumb and didn’t admit it.

"There’s been progress on Chen Dong’s side. That night, someone accompanied him to the riverside, and this scene was seen when the woman of a household on the opposite bank was closing the curtains." Helian An was exhausted, but his face was joyful.
