As they spoke, the two of them had already walked to the carport on the west side, where Wang An's GAZ jeep was parked in the far southwestern corner.
This spot was relatively secluded, as the rear and driver's side were bordered by the walls of the Public Security Bureau's courtyard, and the passenger side was blocked by a large Jiefang truck.
Furthermore, the side windows of the GAZ were still fogged up from when Wang An had been driving. Consequently, unless someone was standing directly north of the driver's door, the car was invisible from other directions.
Once Wang An noticed this, a very wicked thought suddenly sprang to mind.
Thus, with a mischievous grin, Wang An said to Sun Nian
"Sister Nian, look, it's just the two of us here. If we were to secretly do something, for sure no one would see."
Sun Nian was taken aback. Knitting her pretty little brows, she asked instinctively
"Do what? What could we possibly do here?"
Before Sun Nian could react, Wang An suddenly reached out with both hands and pulled her firmly into his embrace.
Then, Wang An slightly bent his legs into a horse stance to lower his height, opened his mouth wide, and began devouring Sun Nian's delicate little face and cherry lips.
Sun Nian was startled by this sudden move and was about to push him away, but she quickly realized what Wang An meant by "secretly doing something."
And so, Sun Nian stopped resisting and wrapped her arms around Wang An's neck. In that cramped space, the pair of "dogs" shared a long, wet kiss.
Yes, it was indeed wet, because when they pulled apart, Sun Nian's face was covered in Wang An's saliva.
Of course, Wang An's face was also covered in Sun Nian's.
Holding Sun Nian by the waist, Wang An laughed cheekily
"How was it, Sister Nian? Pretty thrilling, right?"
Sun Nian struggled to look back behind her, speaking with a hint of panic
"Are you trying to get me killed? What if my colleagues saw us? How could I ever face people again?"
Sun Nian seemed to have completely forgotten how passionately she had just been kissing him.
Wang An's eyes darted around as he tempted her
"The back seat of my car is quite spacious. How about we go inside and chat for a while?"
Sun Nian smoothed her hair and glanced at the rear door of the GAZ. A look of temptation flashed across her face for a moment before she suddenly pushed Wang An away.
"No way, you're always thinking of nonsense. It's too dangerous. Alright, hurry up and leave. Before you go back to heat up your kang, don't forget to light the stove so the room is nice and warm."
After saying this, Sun Nian tidied her clothes and turned back toward the office.
Wang An gave her retreating figure a wicked smile, opened the car door, drove out of the Public Security Bureau, and headed toward Wu Dong's house.
When he arrived at the entrance of Wu Dong's home, Wang An saw that the gate was closed and Wu Dong's brand-new BJ212 wasn't there. Knowing Wu Dong wasn't home, he turned the car around and drove toward the government compound.
During the year Wang An spent recovering from his injuries, the county had changed significantly. In addition to the new teaching building at the Second Middle School being put into use, the county government building had also been constructed and would be operational after renovations were completed next summer.
However, the government building wasn't built on the original site, but on wasteland on the eastern side of the current urban area.
Not far from the government building was the government housing complex currently under construction, along with office buildings and residential quarters for other departments.
In other words, once these buildings were completed, high-ranking officials like Wu Dong and Zhang Shuya would all move into the apartments.
It had to be said that China's infrastructure development was moving at a breakneck pace, advancing by leaps and bounds.
As Wang An was about to get out of the car at the entrance of the government compound, he saw Wu Dong's 212 driving out of the courtyard.
Wang An quickly honked his horn to get Wu Dong's attention. Hearing the horn, Wu Dong instinctively looked toward the GAZ and turned the steering wheel to park beside it.
Both rolled down their windows, and Wu Dong greeted him with a face full of smiles
"How do you have time to visit today? Your eldest sister said the three of you went to Yi Province?"
As Wu Dong spoke, another brand-new 212 drove out of the compound and parked next to Wu Dong's. With a quick glance, Wang An knew it was Wang Shuai's 212.
He was so certain because Wang Shuai had officially started dating Zhang Shuya and planned to marry before the Lunar New Year; the license plate of Wang Shuai's car was Zhang Shuya's birthday.
Naturally, the license plate on Zhang Shuya's car was Wang Shuai's birthday.
Wang An said with a chuckle
"The three of us came back a couple of days ago. I'm here today to bring you guys some good stuff, hehehe..."
Wu Dong was stunned and laughed
"Good stuff? What kind of good stuff? What kind of fancy thing have you managed to get your hands on now?"
As Wu Dong spoke, the window of Wang Shuai's 212 rolled down, revealing Wang Shuai's large face. He looked at Wang An and laughed
"Xiao An, what fancy thing did you get this time?"
Wang An didn't answer but asked instead
"Where are you two heading? If you're busy, I'll just give you the things now."
As he spoke, Wang An prepared to get out of the car.
Wu Dong quickly said
"Don't get out yet, let's go to my house first. Your Brother Liang and Brother Qiang should be arriving around now too."
Hearing this, Wang An closed the car door again and said
"Then Brother Wu, you guys lead the way, and I'll follow behind."
And so, the three of them drove together toward Wu Dong's house.
Just as they entered the courtyard and opened their doors to get out, He Liang and Ma Guoqiang drove into Wu Dong's yard in their own brand-new BJ212s.
Over the past year, the BJ212s that these six "second-generation" youths had pre-ordered last year had all arrived one after another.
Wu Dong's previous assigned vehicle—a Jeep—had been left at the office to be used as a general unit vehicle, and the Jeep Zhang Shuya used to drive had been returned to her father, Zhang Siyuan.
Wu Dong had suggested pre-ordering another 212 for Wang An, but Wang An felt that the new 212 wasn't as durable as his own modified hard-top old GAZ, so he had declined.
After all, a new 212 cost less than 20,000 yuan, while his GAZ, though it looked old, had cost a full 50,000 yuan!
Furthermore, in terms of both safety and performance, this modified old GAZ surpassed the 212.
After exchanging greetings with He Liang and Ma Guoqiang, Wang An took the musk deer blood and musk deer meat and entered the house with everyone.
When Wang An placed the four bottles of musk deer blood on the kang, Wu Dong and Wang Shuai picked up the bottles with curiosity.
After opening the lids and observing for a long time, the two couldn't see anything unusual about the wine bottles. Wu Dong asked tentatively
"Xiao An, is this velvet antler blood? Doesn't your family only have a few stags? Where did you get this much velvet antler blood?"
Among the blood of animals from the deep mountains, the most valuable after musk deer blood was velvet antler blood.
Although deer heart blood was even more valuable than velvet antler blood, the prerequisite for obtaining it was killing the sika deer. Even then, the amount of heart blood was too small to fill four wine bottles.
That was why Wu Dong guessed it was velvet antler blood.
