Subsequent facts proved that Li Xiangnan's view of Shen Yujing was quite accurate.

That night, there were already many people celebrating the New Year in the Li family this year, and with the addition of Wang Defa, Zhang Jingyang, and Zhang Zhisheng to feed people, it was even more lively.

With the participation of these members of the schistosomiasis project team, the Li family's New Year's Eve dinner was quite lively.

Old Li's family had already prepared enough food, and Li Fugen, the brigade cadres, and the staff who stayed behind in the commune went out and borrowed a lot of local flavors from the surrounding villagers, making this New Year's Eve dinner even more delicious.

Shen Yujing was indeed not as cold as before. On the contrary, there was a lot more smile on her face.

When people were talking about Li Xiangnan's deeds in Yanjing and praising him, sometimes they would take the initiative to say a few words of praise, and even show their admiration for him and express their good intention to make friends with him.

Lin Weiguo is a bit miserable.

Wang Defa took the initiative to sit next to him and kept forcing him to drink.

In addition, there were several teachers from Peking Union Medical College in the project team. They competed with Lin Weiguo in drinking. They finished two small jars of fruit wine brewed by Lao Li. Lin Weiguo drank it directly. He didn't even get to eat the last wine-brewed meatballs before he was helped back to his room to sleep because he was so drunk.

With so many people around, it's not appropriate to discuss the matter of going to the Qin family to propose marriage.

They drank until late at night, and only stopped after Grandpa Xiangnan's advice did they return to their fellow villagers' homes or to the brigade headquarters, and finally they dispersed.

"How much alcohol did you have to drink? Hurry up and drink some hawthorn and sour jujube soup to sober up!"

Finally, Zhu Qiuju brought a large teapot to the brazier where the charcoal fire had been refueled several times, and poured soup for Li Xiangnan and the other three. She asked them to each hold a cup and sober up while warming themselves by the fire.

"Mom, I'm happy! It will be more lively when there are more people!" Li Xiangnan's face was flushed and he was still a little drunk when he spoke, but his mind was very clear.

"Drink quickly, and go to bed quickly after drinking!"

At Zhu Qiuju's urging, Li Xiangnan and the other three had no choice but to finish drinking the sobering soup, quickly washed up, and went back to their room to sleep.

When Wang Defa arrived, Li Chaodong's previous bed was occupied, so he had to squeeze into the opposite room with Zhang Zhisheng, which was considered as fulfilling his promise to take care of Senior Brother Zhang.

So the trio lay on the bed, and with no one else around, they spoke without restraint.

"What happened to Shen Yujing tonight? Has he changed? He was always gloomy before, but tonight he has a smiling face, as if we borrowed money from him!"

Wang Defa couldn't sleep, so he simply gave cigarettes to the two of them and sat at the head of the bed, wearing a cotton jacket and smoking.

"That's not the main point!" Zhang Jingyang said what he had paid special attention to. "The main point is that when everyone was talking about Xiao Li's business in Yanjing, he listened and thought about it..."

"He is just embarrassed to talk. For a leader of that size, sometimes a few nice words will suffice. What else do you expect him to say about Xiao Li? Praise Xiao Li to the fullest? That's impossible! Leaders also have to save face! Otherwise it would make him look like a leader of low status." Wang Defa flicked the ash from his cigarette and expressed his views.

This makes sense.

But the question Li Xiangnan was thinking about was obviously deeper.

Seeing that Li Xiangnan didn't say anything for a long time, Wang Defa turned around and asked, "By the way, Xiao Li, what do you think Shen Yujing will do next after going to the river and having a meal?"

"He won't attack again!" Li Xiangnan turned off the light and adjusted the kerosene lamp.

The fire in the room had some concrete heat to it, and he even put his hand on the lampshade to warm it.

"Why?" Wang Defa and Zhang Jingyang looked at each other, confused.

Li Xiangnan smiled when he heard this and said, "Have you heard of Tian Ji's horse race?"

“???” The two of them stared at him, even more confused.

"Shen Yujing is using those poor acting skills and temptations to test my bottom line! He has better tricks and won't use them easily! He does all these things on time! Do you really think the people of the Shen family are stupid?"

Seeing that Li Xiangnan was speaking in all seriousness, Wang Defa scratched his head and said in confusion, "So our previous analysis is that this team was pulled together by Shen Yujing and he deliberately came to Lijia Village for a purpose? And one of the purposes is probably you, Xiao Li. What exactly does he want to do?"

"I don't know!" Li Xiangnan shook his head honestly.

"How about... let's drive Shen Yujing out of the village?" Wang Defa said excitedly.

"How do you drive them away? Are you going against the brigade and the commune? Are you going against the Science and Technology Bureau? How brave are you? This is going too far! It's not worth it!" Li Xiangnan smiled and shook his head.

"But having this kid around feels like a time bomb! I'm afraid he might explode at any time!" Wang Defa was a little anxious.

"We just need to be careful, everything will be fine! Besides, Chaodong will help keep an eye on him these days! If there are any strange actions, we will be notified!"

Unexpectedly, this strange behavior was confirmed the next day.

This really surprised Li Xiangnan.

When Li Xiangnan got up, he had just put on his clothes when Li Chaodong rushed into the house in a hurry.

"Chaodong, what are you doing? You look so hurried and anxious. What happened?" Wang Defa was tying his belt and asked when he saw him frowning.

"It's not me, it's Shen Yujing!" Li Chaodong swallowed his saliva and waved his hand.

Zhang Jingyang just came in from the door, put the thermos on the ground and went to close the door.

"Where did he go?" Li Xiangnan asked hurriedly.

"When I got up in the morning to pee, I saw him wearing clothes and going out! It was still half past six! I couldn't pee anymore, so I hurried back to the house, put on my cotton-padded jacket and followed him! He ended up walking around outside the village and went to the brigade headquarters! He spent more than an hour in Uncle Fugen's office making phone calls before coming out. I was so cold and hungry that I ran back!"

"He called?" Wang Defa was stunned. "Who did he call?"

"I don't know about that! Brother, if you don't say there is something wrong with him, I will tell you! Now that something is wrong, I will tell you right away!" Li Chaodong said breathlessly.

"Got it! Go brush your teeth, wash up, and eat something!"

"Okay, big brother, I'll go find him after I'm done!"

Li Chaodong left, but Wang Defa and Zhang Jingyang frowned.

"Xiao Li, this guy found out so much information last night, could he have informed his family?" Wang Defa asked.

Li Xiangnan shook his head, but his brows remained frowned.

Zhang Jingyang scratched his head and said, "Will this kid do something bad to us in Yanjing? We are really out of reach!"

"Let's go! Go to the brigade headquarters and make a phone call first!"

As soon as Li Xiangnan put on his shoes, he rushed out.

He didn't know what Shen Yujing would do, but it was necessary to take precautions before it happened.

Song Yi, Yao Mile and Wang Qi must be informed.

……

And at this moment.

A giant ship weighing thousands of tons penetrated the vast sea fog, pierced the waves, and slowly sailed from the high seas into the near sea, but dropped anchor at the junction.

In the captain's room, a corporal handed over the binoculars in his hand and shouted, "Commander, our ship has arrived at the designated docking point! Please give us your instructions!"

Qin Taihang held up a telescope and looked at the sea in the distance, and shouted: "Wait for the signal from the Poseidon submarine! Be ready to connect at any time!"

"Yes!"

The cabin was busy. Qin Taihang began to search the sea. He said with a smile, "Where are you, little brat? Why don't you come pick up your dad?"
