Chapter 46 Buying a Car???? The next day, Song Jian woke up early, preparing for any situation that might arise.

  After driving Xus and Xia Lin to work and school, Song Jian received a call from Zhou Yumin.

  Drive to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Zhou Yumin saw Song Jian, pulled Song Jian into his own office, closed the door, and Zhou Yumin finally spoke: "Song Jian, have you gotten into some kind of trouble recently?"

  Song Jian nodded and said, "I did run into some trouble. Yesterday in the underground parking garage, an assassin tried to kill me, but he didn't succeed and ended up poisoning himself."

  "Oh, I see," Zhou Yumin let out a sigh of relief and asked with concern: "Are you hurt?"?

  "No." Song Jian looked at Zhou Yumin first, "Uncle Zhou, how did you know?"

  "Oh, I see. Early this morning, Li Shanqiang from the Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Department called me to ask about your basic situation. Of course, it's nothing serious, and I've also made some private inquiries. The person who committed suicide was indeed a wanted killer by the Public Security Bureau. You'll be fine." Zhou Yumin patted Song Jian's shoulder reassuringly.

  Song Jian smiled at Zhou Yumin and then left the office, after which Xu Si also called.

  "Song Jian, is everything all right with you?" Xu Si asked, her voice calm but laced with concern.

  "What's wrong now? Everything was fine just a moment ago."

  "Just now two public security officers came to our company to ask about your situation," said Xu Si.

  "Don't worry, something unexpected happened yesterday, it's fine." Song Jian comforted him with a couple of sentences before hanging up the phone.

  Sitting in Zhou Yumin's car, Song Jian thought for a long time and decided to take the initiative to call and ask about Li Shanqiang's current situation.

  "It's all settled," Li Shanqiang said with a smile, "your statement is flawless, and according to the investigation, your superior Director Zhou and your company's employees have praised you highly, so now you're a free man, just wait for the award."

  "Get an award?" Song Jian was stunned for a moment.

  "Of course, to capture the Night Killer, the Public Security Bureau has offered a reward of 100,000. Once the situation is reported, you will receive this reward." Li Shanqiang chuckled and said.

  Song Jian was speechless, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

  "Has there been any progress in the Golden Bright explosion case?" Song Jian asked.

  "This is a secret of the case team, but I can reveal it to you, don't tell others," Li Shanqiang said in an official tone. "According to Director Ren and my consistent inference, it should be Lin Bao's subordinate who harbors hatred towards Lin Bao, so they manufactured this suicidal explosion attack. The Golden Bright Explosion Case has a very bad impact, so the case will be closed soon."

  Song Jian let out a long sigh of relief.

  Hanging up the phone, at this moment, Song Jian felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

  Since his rebirth, Song Jian had been trying to get rid of Lin Bao's threat. Song Jian knew that he was too weak and that he was outnumbered, so he had been enduring in silence, acting low-key, fearing that one day Lin Bao would become alert and, in a fit of rage, would ruthlessly kill him without hesitation.

  Now that Lin Bao is dead, Song Jian knows he's temporarily safe.

  "I owe Xu Si 10 million, I need to think of a way to pay him back. Also, the secret of that cancer cell suicide gene sequence has been leaked out, one Lin Bao is dead, who knows if there will be more people like Lin Bao coming to trouble me, so during this period, I must find that gene sequence and sell it to someone else. Moreover, it's time to search for the medicine needed for the Bone Marrow Pill."

  Song Jian was thinking about what he would do next in his heart.

  The shooting range can't be gone, the free bullets are used up, and Li Mengya is now busy with a burning head, definitely won't go, Song Jian also lazy to practice shooting again, so he drives his car to the place where his parents used to live, wandering around in search of things about gene sequence.

  "Let's go take a look at Liu Zhuang," Song Jian decided in his heart.

  Liu Zhuang is located in Gusu City, close to Zhouzhuang, and is a typical small bridge flowing water Jiangnan village.

  Song Jian drove to the road outside Liu Village, stopped the car and walked into Liu Village.

  As Suzhou City speeds up its development, this ancient rural area has gradually disappeared, replaced by industrial parks and new urbanized villages.

  The Liuzhuang area has a slightly biased terrain, so it has not been developed for the time being.

  Song Jian walked into the village, a faint smell of rot and decay wafted through the air. The village was indeed too old, all the young people had moved to the new rural areas nearby, leaving behind only some lonely elderly people. The river surface was not cleaned, so much garbage had become moldy.

  Song Jian walked along the river, relying on his vague memories, searching for his family's old mansion.

  Song Jian's parents didn't come to repair the old house after they got rich, because they knew that this place would eventually be demolished. There was almost nothing left in the old house, but in the hall, there were still the ancestral tablets of the Song family.

  Song Jian stopped in front of an old-fashioned large gate, he looked up and barely made out the number on the gate, 301, which was his home.

  He reached out and gave it a gentle push. The old gate let out a heavy creak, then crashed to the ground with a loud thud, sending up a cloud of dust.

  Song Jian stepped on the threshold and walked into the courtyard.

  The courtyard was already full of plants, and many of the wormwood had grown taller than Song Jian's head.

  Along the bluestone slab, Song Jian walked into the old house.

  The front hall of the house has a row of ancestral tablets, which are all ancestors of the Song family.

  Song Jian stood in front of the ancestral tablet, suddenly feeling an urge to laugh, because the Song family ancestor hanging on the wall seemed to be himself. Wearing a stylish imperial physician's uniform, holding a three-inch bamboo slip, he really looked quite majestic.

  After the laughter, Song Jian suddenly felt a surge of intimacy again. This is the continuation of blood ties. Even if they are separated by hundreds of years and hundreds of miles, these people are proof that the Song family once existed.

  Heaving a sigh, Song Jian picked up a string of Buddhist beads from the table.

  "Huh? So this Buddhist rosary was here all along," Song Jian was taken aback, and then remembered.

  It was probably on my 20th birthday that my parents gave me this string of Buddhist beads as a birthday gift. At the time, they smiled and said that these beads needed to be consecrated, and when I graduated and returned home, I would take them to Yunquan Temple in Huqiu to find Master Yunkong for consecration.

  "How did it end up here?" Song Jian picked up the Buddhist beads, somewhat puzzled. He circled around the room again, seeing no clues, then slowly left.

  Song Jian felt that he had really fully integrated into his current role.

  As he walked out of the old house, Song Jian felt a sense of weight on his shoulders and thought that he should do something for the extinct Song family.

  In the following days, Song Jian spent his time either driving Xu Si and Xia Lin around or practicing Wuji Qigong, actively searching for medicinal materials needed to refine the Bone Tempering Pill.

  As the Spring Festival approaches, Zhou Yumin's affairs have increased, and Song Jian needs to accompany Zhou Yumin to attend various banquets and meetings. Song Jian started to feel annoyed, he didn't want to be Zhou Yumin's driver after all, so after discussing with Zhou Yumin, Song Jian decided that after the shooting competition in the city is over, he will resign and let Zhou Yumin find a real driver.

  However, Zhou Yumin was quite considerate. After learning that Sifang Company was the company where Song Jian was in, he re-examined the White Project submitted by Sifang Company again. This time, Zhou Yumin found that this project was really good, so he issued a license to Sifang Company and gave Sifang Company great privileges in some aspects.

  Xu Si was very excited, this project, after all, was something she had taken care of with her own hands. Meanwhile, Xu Si's grandfather, Qin Huashan, stared at the permit on the table in disbelief. He hadn't expected that little Song Jian would actually manage to get the project approved.

  Li Changjiang had originally planned to invite Song Jian for dinner, but after the removal of necrotic muscle tissue from his leg, news came from Beijing that a method to completely eliminate toxins had been found, so Li Changjiang was taken by helicopter and sent directly to Beijing.

  The shooting competition in the city also officially opened, Song Jian represented the Industry and Commerce Bureau to fight, got a second place, the first place is naturally Li Mengya, and the third place was taken by a young man who had just retired from the Health Bureau.

  Zhou Yumin was very happy with the second prize and rewarded Song Jian with a box of apples.

  Seeing this reward, Song Jian couldn't help but laugh and cry, but he still couldn't say that Zhou Yumin was stingy.

  Soon, the Public Security Bureau also approved a reward of 100,000 yuan, which was tax-free. This meant that Song Jian suddenly had an extra 150,000 yuan in his hands. The 100,000 yuan was the reward, and the additional 50,000 yuan was a bonus for successfully approving a project.

  That night, Song Jian carried a box of apples back home.

  "Uncle, what did you buy? I know Christmas is coming, are you buying me a gift?" Xia Lin excitedly ran over.

  Song Jian nodded and said: "I bought you a peace fruit, also bought a box, be happy."

  "Wow, a box of apples, you're really stingy, uncle!" Xia Lin looked disappointed after seeing the apples.

  Song Jian took three apples and handed them over to Xia Lin, saying: "Go wash them."

  Xia Lin grumbled and muttered under her breath about Song Jian being petty, then went off to wash the apples.

  Song Jian sat down on the sofa, pulled out a bank card, and waved it at Xu Si, saying: "Boss, last time we started the company, the car was destroyed. Let's go pick up a new one tomorrow."

  Xu Si was taken aback and looked at Song Jian, "Where did you get the money from? That time was an accident, after the company's finances ease up, I will buy it myself."

  Xia Lin rushed out with three apples in her arms.

  "Wow! Uncle, you've really made a fortune!" Xia Lin put down the apple and snatched the bank card from Song Jian's hand. "Sister, by the time your company recovers, I'll probably have graduated already! I don't want to squeeze onto the bus every day to go to school. Uncle, uncle, let's go pick up the car tomorrow, huh? What kind of car do you like?"

  Song Jian hadn't spoken yet, but Xia Lin had already started talking to herself, "I think BMW and Mercedes-Benz are too tacky, now everyone has these cars, Ferrari is a bit showy, Lamborghini is too expensive, hmm, why not buy an off-road vehicle instead? The new Land Rover model is really good, it's grand and not expensive, and in the future we can drive to the desert or grasslands for vacation, how great!"

  Xia Lin is daydreaming.

  Song Jian's face turned red, he coughed twice and said: "That... Xia Lin, there is only 150,000 yuan in this card... it can't be spent all at once, I need to keep some for my living expenses..."
