Chapter 224 Bribing Ai Laibao

Ai Xiaoxia was very familiar with Meng Qiuju's expressions and actions, and she was very sure that Meng Qiuju was lying.

Lu Jingshen took advantage of the situation and asked Ai Zhu, "What do you know?"

Ai Zhu was surprised just now. She didn't expect Ai Xiaoxia to suspect Meng Qiuju. This woman was too powerful. But now she understood one thing. It has been more than ten years. As long as she didn't say it, they would have no way to deal with it.

So she said, "I really don't know."

Ai Xiaoxia also realized it at this time. There was no point in saying more now, but today's trip was not in vain. At least she already knew that this matter was definitely related to them. As long as she had a clue, it would be fine.

Today is almost over, the rest will have to be done in other ways. She looked at Lu Jingshen and said, "Let's go back."

Lu Jingshen also felt that it was almost done, and the only thing left would be some covert method, so he nodded and said, "Yes."

Meng Qiuju and the others thought that Ai Xiaoxia would continue to interrogate them, but they never expected that they would leave like this. What does that mean?

Seeing Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen leave like this, Meng Qiuju felt very nervous. She was really afraid that Ai Xiaoxia would find out something.

After Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen got out and into the car, Ai Xiaoxia suddenly had another idea. She looked at Lu Jingshen with a smile and said, "I have a good idea. It's better than using force. After all, Meng Qiuju's mouth is not easy to open."

Lu Jingshen was very curious: "What method?"

Ai Xiaoxia smiled and said, "The biggest problem in their family is disunity, so we can use the money to hire Ai Laibao to monitor Meng Qiuju and Ai Zhu, and even have him extract information from them."

Lu Jingshen laughed when he heard this: "That's a good idea indeed. I'll come back after dinner and look for Ai Laibao alone."

Ai Xiaoxia nodded: "Okay, I'll talk to him when the time comes. As long as I can get information about Lin Mei from Meng Qiuju and Ai Zhu, I'll buy it for a fee."

Lu Jingshen said: "You are so smart, I really can't think of it."

Ai Xiaoxia scratched her head: "When you praise me."

The two of them felt a lot more relaxed now that they had a plan, but there was no certainty about this matter, and they also agreed not to tell their families for now, and just keep it between themselves.

It was dark when they returned to their home in Shiqiao Township.

Seeing them come back, Lu Guojiu came out to ask Jiang Lirong how she was doing. It was Chinese New Year, and every family was reuniting and visiting each other, but in fact, no one cared about all this excitement.

Lu Jingxue called Zhang Tingting and called a small store near his home. Zhang Tingting only told the store that the patient had been rescued, but they didn't know much else.

So those who knew them in the village only knew that the person was saved, and no one knew any more of the inside story.

Lu Jingshen got out of the car and told Lu Guojiu about Jiang Lirong's condition. She was paralyzed and there was basically no possibility for her to stand up.

Although this result was expected before, Lu Guojiu still sighed: "It will be difficult for your uncle from now on."

Lu Jingshen nodded: "Indeed, Dad, let's go inside and talk."

They carried their things into the house. When they got inside, Lu Jingshen and Ai Xiaoxia told their parents about Jiang Lirong's situation. Then Lu Jingshen also told them about Lu Jingxue, reminding their parents not to be too soft-hearted.

Lu Guojiu and Li Shaofen accepted the children's reminder and said that they would be careful and know what they were doing.

After dinner in the evening, Lu Jingshen said he had something to do at a classmate's place. Ai Xiaoxia thought about it and decided to go with Lu Jingshen.

The two men went to Dawa Village again and parked the car at the entrance of the village. Then they found a child at the entrance of the village, gave the child two yuan, and asked him to help find Ailaobao, and to keep it secret and not let others know.

The kid was also smart. He knew that Ai Laibao often hung out with San Gouzi from the village, so he went in and told Ai Laibao that San Gouzi was looking for him.

Ai Laibao put on his clothes and came out. When he saw Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen at the village entrance, he was so scared that he started to run away.

Lu Jingshen took a few big steps over and grabbed Ai Laibao by the collar: "I want to talk to you about something, not hit you."

Ai Laibao wanted to resist but it was useless. Lu Jingshen pulled him to the side of the road and said, "If you scream, I will really beat you."

Ai Laibao was so scared that his legs were shaking: "I won't scream, you speak."

Lu Jingshen said, "I'll give you a chance to make some money. Go back and monitor Meng Qiuju and Ai Zhu. If you can get them to tell you anything about Lin Mei, that's even better. If you can give me a clue about Lin Mei, I'll give you 200 yuan. If the clue is particularly useful, I'll give you more."

When Ai Laibao heard about the huge amount of money, his eyes lit up: "Seriously?"

Lu Jingshen said: "Do I have time to joke with you?"

Ai Laibao was very afraid of Lu Jingshen and quickly said, "I believe you. I will definitely get some clues for you."

Ai Xiaoxia added, "You have to be careful and don't let them see the flaw, otherwise our agreement will be cancelled and you won't get a penny."

Ai Laibao nodded quickly: "I know, I know. You know Mom. She loves me the most, so it's easiest for me to get things from her."

Ai Xiaoxia smiled and handed over ten yuan: "This is a deposit and also for phone bills. Call me if you have any news."

Ai Laibao took the money and said like a lackey: "Don't worry, your money will definitely not be wasted."

There was no need for Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen to waste time talking to him, so they told him to go back, and then they also returned to their hometown.

On the way back, they met a man selling ice cream and candied haws, and they bought up all the leftovers.

Lu Jingyuan had a very happy meal that night.

However, Meng Qiuju and Ai Zhu were both nervous that night, and they whispered to each other in the kitchen for a long time.

Because of the temptation of profit, Ai Laibao went to the kitchen to drink water and find food every now and then. He went there seven or eight times a night and heard some key words. He was calculating how to exchange money with Ai Xiaoxia more cost-effectively and get more.

It wasn't until Meng Qiuju felt something was wrong that she pulled Ai Laibao aside and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you going back and forth so often?"

Ai Laibao naturally couldn't tell the truth. You know, he was planning to use the money he got for the intelligence to buy a house and get married. He didn't want to suffer poverty with his family at all. When he had enough money, he would go there on his own.

He was a man who was used to telling lies. At this time, he said, "I'm just bored and want to go out and play a few cards. I have no money. What else can I do besides wandering around the house? How about you give me some money and let me play a few games?"

Meng Qiuju was furious when she heard Ai Laibao's untalented words: "Can't you stand up for yourself? You're so grown up, but you don't know what to do. Bao, I see everyone else is out working. Why don't you go to the city to work after the first month of the lunar year?"

Ai Laibao snorted coldly: "Mom, don't you know what you do outside working? It's so tiring. I won't go." After saying that, he turned around and went into the house to lie down.
