Fu Wencheng nimbly hid beside the sofa. Just as he reached for the handle of the wooden door to open it, he heard the sound of someone coming down the stairs.

He quickly hid behind the sofa and listened carefully.

"Xiao Ye, be more polite when you talk to your grandfather next time. Look how angry he is."

"Mom, Grandpa scolded me, why did I put up with him?"

"Are you stupid? The entire Cheng family is now supported by the old man. You have to make plans for the future."

"I think that old man is biased. Why can my eldest cousin join the army? Why can't I go? He also said that he couldn't bear to see me suffer. I think he just can't bear to see me get along well. Old man, just die soon."

"So, you should behave yourself recently and try to please the old man more. I heard that the higher-ups have been conducting strict inspections recently, and many positions have been vacant. If you work hard with the old man, you might be able to get an easy job."

"Mom, is this reliable?"

Cheng Ye curled his lips without caring much. He had already had enough of praising that old man's stinky feet every day.

"This is news from your uncle, so it must be correct. You must know that your eldest cousin is not of the Cheng family. You are the only one of this generation in the Cheng family. No matter what, the old man will take blood ties into consideration. As long as you behave well, you will definitely get a lot of benefits."

"Okay, I'll endure it for a few days, but you can't let that little bitch go, mom."

"Don't worry. It's not so easy to let go of bullying my son. Didn't your grandfather tell the Lu family? We must hold them accountable. You should stay at home and take good care of your injuries. If you have nothing to do, go to your grandfather and cry out in pain. Leave the outside affairs to mom. I promise that I won't let that little bitch have an easy time."

"Okay, that's it. I'm going back to my room to sleep."

Cheng Ye's room was on the first floor, facing the living room in opposite directions. The mother and son did not turn on the lights. Cheng Ye's mother sent him back to the room and went straight upstairs.

Fu Wencheng hid for a while and found that there was no movement. Then he opened the glass and wooden door and tiptoed up to the second floor.

There are two master bedrooms and a study on the second floor.

The old man slept in the largest room, which had an attached bathroom, so it was convenient for him to get up at night. Cheng Ye's parents slept in another room. As for Mr. Cheng's other sons, they did not live in the staff quarters.

He quickly entered the study and closed the door. Fu Wencheng glanced at the curtains and saw that they were drawn. He then boldly took out a flashlight from his ring and started searching around.

According to my grandfather's guess, when Mr. Cheng got the news, he retired before anything happened. There must be someone supporting him, otherwise, how come he got the news when others didn't?

I searched every corner of the study but found nothing valuable.

Fu Wencheng was not in a hurry. He opened the door of the study, felt his way to the innermost bedroom, reached out and pushed it, and found that the door was locked.

He opened the window in the corridor, held on to the wall, and jumped directly to the balcony where the old man's room was. He found a tool, pried open the balcony door and window, and hid behind the curtains.

Holding his breath, sprinkling the powder, and estimating the time, Fu Wencheng appeared in the old man's house openly.

The old man of the Cheng family is nearly seventy years old. His hair is gray, the skin on his face is very loose, there are bruises under his eyes, his eyelids are drooping, and he is sleeping soundly.

He quickly walked to the wardrobe, opened it, and began to look for the mezzanine. Sure enough, he found a rope on the inside of the cabinet door. He gently pulled it, and the carved part of the bottom of the cabinet popped out completely.

Fu Wencheng threw the place inside directly into the space and had no intention of looking at it. The key point was that it was pitch dark and he couldn't see clearly.

If there is one, there must be another. A lot of things were found in the cabinets, bedside tables and bedside tables in the old man’s room, even a lot of money and tickets.

Fu Wencheng took it without any burden at all.

Now that I have seen it, it would be a shame not to take it away.

After the search was completed, Fu Wencheng put everything back to its original state and returned to the first floor.

He did not touch the food and other things. If he did, it would be too obvious. He and the old man came in openly today. If someone asked and found out the identity of his wife, they would quickly associate it with him.

In order to delay some time, Fu Wencheng only moved secretly.

He took the things back to Mr. He's residence and placed all the things in front of the old man.

"so much?"

"I didn't look at it when I took it, so I don't know what's inside, but these were hidden by Mr. Cheng, so I guess they are useful."

“Let me see…”

Mr. He read through the letters and documents one by one. The more he read, the redder his face became.

Angry and red.

"Well, well done, that old guy is actually selling military supplies, really well done."

“I think there’s more.”

Fu Wencheng handed over the document in his hand, which had a lot of names written on it.

"Damn it, old man, I didn't expect that his hands could stretch so far after leaving that position."

"What is Grandpa going to do?"

"I will take these things to see the big boss tomorrow."

"Grandpa, it's best to hide your whereabouts when you go to see the big boss. I'm afraid the Cheng family will struggle to the death and then bite Le Yao back."

"I know. Don't worry. I, your grandpa, know what's going on. Okay, you must be tired after all this night. Go to sleep. I'll have someone take you back tomorrow."

The next morning, the old man and Fu Wencheng split into two groups. Fu Wencheng and the old man went out in a military vehicle. Halfway through the journey, the old man changed into casual clothes, hid in the crowd, and quietly went to the leader.

I returned home safely and saw the smiling face of my lovely wife as soon as I entered the door.

Fu Wencheng felt that his work last night was not in vain.

"You're back so early?"

"Well, Grandpa had something to do early in the morning, so he just happened to send me back, and then he went to do his work."

"Have you had breakfast?"

"I've eaten it at Grandpa's house. What are you growing?"

"Grow some eggplants, beans, cucumbers, peppers, and a small strawberry bush."

"If you like it, you can order more."

"It's okay. We both have good food. I have a lot stored there. It's enough for us to eat."

Ming Leyao said something that only the couple could understand. Fu Wencheng felt that this little secret between husband and wife that could not be told to outsiders was really irresistible.

"Then I'll help you."

"OK."

It didn't matter anyway, so the young couple spent the whole morning digging the ground while I planted the crops. You watered the land while I fertilized it. Aunt Qian made lunch, which was a simple hot noodle soup.

Now there are people brought back by the old man in the courtyard, so Aunt Qian makes more noodles at noon.
