Chapter 170 Doubts

Zhang Kun thought about it and agreed. Even if the other party was so arrogant, he wouldn't commit a crime in broad daylight, right?

However, this matter still needs to be solved fundamentally.

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Kun put the spoon in Li Xu's hand: "Okay, you come, I have to go to work."

Li Xu took the spoon naturally, "Don't worry about me, I'll call you if I have anything."

Zhang Kun nodded: "Okay, I'll go call Xiao Gong to come over for dinner."

He returned to his home and quickly called Xiao Gong over.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. Call me if you have any problem." Standing at the door, Zhang Kun took the key and gave instructions.

After Zhang Kun left, only Li Xu and Gong Wenbai were left in the living room.

"Why were you here last night?" Li Xu asked curiously.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Unexpectedly, Gong Wenbo shook his head and said, "It's not a coincidence. I have been downstairs these two nights!"

Always downstairs?

"What's going on?" Li Xu was a little surprised.

"Didn't Yuanyuan tell you?" Gong Wenbo said, "She told Mr. Qin about your family's situation. Mr. Qin was also afraid that something might happen to you, so he asked me to rest during the day and watch downstairs of your house at night."

Li Xu suddenly remembered that Ji Yuanyuan had indeed been to Qin's house on the afternoon of the car accident. Did Yuanyuan have thought of these things at that time?

Li Xu was very surprised for a moment.

It was only when the police came the second time that she realized that she had to be careful of retaliation. Yuanyuan, however, had thought of these things on the day of the car accident...

"Didn't you ask Yuanyuan to look for the old man? Yuanyuan has discussed with me that if I don't find her in time downstairs and she hears any noise, she should open the curtains." Gong Wenbai said again.

Listening to Gong Wenbo's words, Li Xu was distracted for a moment.

She slept lightly tonight and didn't hear any noise outside. Yuanyuan was a small child and her room was farthest from the main door.

Could it be that she hasn't slept yet?

I have many doubts in my mind, but now is not the time to ask them.

Li Xu came back to his senses and quickly replied: "Yes, I asked Yuanyuan to go."

After a pause, she continued, "The noodles are ready. You can go back after dinner. You worked really hard last night."

Gong Wenbo politely shook his head: "It's not hard."

Li Xu woke up the children, and after dinner, Gong Wenbai left.

The children also went to school, and Yang Jingyi and Hu Chunli waited downstairs as usual.

After the children left, Hu Chunli and Li Xu walked into the store together.

"What's going on with your store? Did you offend someone?" When Hu Chunli arrived, she had already seen the miserable situation inside.

Li Xu whispered to Hu Chunli about what had happened in the past few days.

Hu Chunli listened to her words and sighed: "It's hard to be a good person. I hope the police can find the culprit. He is really too rampant!"

As they were talking, the two of them came to the store. The store was indeed badly damaged, with the glass door broken, the lock broken, the shelves inside collapsed, and all the vegetables scattered on the ground.

There were a lot of people gathered around, watching the fun.

Hu Chunli rolled up her sleeves and helped Li Xu to tidy up the store.

There was no way to do business, so after cleaning up until around ten o'clock, Li Xu went home to cook.

Just after finishing dinner, the children came back.

Ji Ziang and Ji Yuanyuan seemed to be unaffected. They continued to do what they were supposed to do, and their expressions were the same as usual.

Ji Zixuan is a thoughtful child with a tired look on his face and a faint dark circles under his eyes.

I guess I didn't sleep much last night.

Li Xu thought to herself: Why not let Zhang Kun come over tonight and sleep with the two children all night.

After dinner, the children went to take a nap and Li Xu was cleaning the table.

Ji Yuanyuan walked to the bedroom door and looked back at Li Xu with some surprise.

Li Xu was still concentrating on wiping the table and seemed not to notice Ji Yuanyuan's actions at all.

Ji Yuanyuan frowned in some surprise. This time she walked into the bedroom, lay on the bed, and waited quietly for Li Xu to come in.

However, Ji Yuanyuan was almost asleep and Li Xu still didn’t come in.

Instead, the door to the next room was closed gently.

Ji Yuanyuan opened her eyes and thought with some surprise: Doesn’t mom want to ask her something about what happened last night?

She has already thought about how to answer!

She was still somewhat sleepy, but now she couldn't fall asleep at all. After tossing and turning in bed for a long time, she got up and quietly went to Li Xu's room next door.

Standing at the door, Ji Yuanyuan looked at Li Xu lying on the bed and called softly, "Mom..."

Li Xu opened his eyes, looked at her with amusement, and lifted the quilt: "Come here!"

Ji Yuanyuan quickly walked forward, got on the bed, and got into Li Xu's quilt.

"Can't sleep?" Li Xu asked in a low voice.

"Mom, don't you want to ask me about what happened last night?" Ji Yuanyuan looked up and looked at Li Xu with some curiosity.

In the morning, she heard the conversation between Uncle Gong and her mother in the room.

She thought her mother must have a lot of questions to ask her.

Li Xu chuckled and reached out to touch Ji Yuanyuan's nose, "Why are you so impatient?"

Ji Yuanyuan smiled awkwardly.

Li Xu paused, sighed softly, and whispered: "Mom sometimes feels that you are not like a child, but like an adult. Is it because of the space?"

She murmured that time passed quickly in the space and Yuanyuan often stayed there, so Yuanyuan's physical age was still seven years old.

But hasn’t his mental age long exceeded seven years old?

Ji Yuanyuan was shocked when she heard what Li Xu said.

But soon, Li Xu spoke again, "But no matter what, you are my daughter. If there are things you want to tell me, then I will listen. If you haven't figured out how to tell me, then don't say it."

Ji Yuanyuan listened to Li Xu's words and moved forward somewhat moved.

“Thank you, Mom!”

In the afternoon, the two policemen came again.

I brought you some bad news. They interrogated the person who broke into the room last night for a whole night and a whole morning, but they didn't find anything out.

"The other party only said that he wanted to enter your house to take some money, and he didn't intend to do anything else." The tall policeman said, "He insisted that there was no one behind him, and he didn't admit that he smashed your store. Although it is not certain now...but you still have to be more careful."

How could it be such a coincidence? Their house was robbed right after the car accident?

What's more, if they just wanted to steal money, why would they even smash the store?

Everyone knew the truth about this matter. It must be because she was an eyewitness to the car accident that she was retaliated against by the other party.
