After lunch, they chatted for a while, then Ding's parents took the two children and prepared to leave.

Ding Qiunan packed a large bag of things for the child, and the whole family saw them off at the station. After Ding's parents left with the child, everyone went home.

Wu Xiaoliu, being quite perceptive, didn't go back with Li Chu but went out for a walk alone.

Li Chu grabbed his wife and ran home. He had been feeling suffocated for days.

Ding Qiunan rolled her eyes at her husband's impatient manner the whole way.

After their lovemaking, Ding Qiunan nestled wearily in her husband's arms and fell asleep.

Li Chu, on the other hand, looked completely satisfied, leaning against the quilt.

Wu Xiaoliu had disappeared somewhere and hadn't returned by dinner time.

After the young couple finished eating the leftovers from lunch, Li Chu and Ding Qiunan went to the hospital together.

"Qiu Nan, where's the child?"

"Auntie, my parents came over today. They're taking the child back home to stay for a few days."

"You silly child, did you call your parents over because you didn't want to trouble me?"

"No, Auntie, I really didn't know they were coming today."

"Sigh, I could have played with the two kids when I got home tonight, but now I'm all alone again."

Seeing Aunt Wang's feigned pitiful appearance, Li Chu covered his mouth and chuckled to himself.

"Xiao Chu, what are you laughing about? Go and bring the child back to me. If you can't bring him back, don't come back either," Aunt Wang glared at Li Chu and scolded him in a pretentious manner.

Terrified, Li Chu fled in panic, not daring to stay in the hospital any longer. Three women make a drama; if he stayed there, who knows what kind of drama would unfold around him.

When Li Chu got home, Wu Xiaoliu still hadn't returned. Li Chu felt something was wrong. Even if he had gone out for a walk, he shouldn't be gone by now, right?

I wanted to go out and look for them, but I didn't know where to look, so I could only patiently wait at home.

They waited until after 10 p.m. before Wu Xiaoliu finally returned, looking disheveled.

Seeing that he was covered in dirt, Li Chu asked in surprise, "Sixth Brother, what have you been doing?"

Although Wu Xiaoliu looked extremely disheveled, he was very excited: "Xiao Chu, I've found out. The person who was following Jiang Cheng yesterday should be from a spy organization, and they are even cooperating with Jiang Cheng."

The thunderbolt left Li Chu dizzy and stunned for a long time before he finally reacted: "What? Sixth Brother, do you know what you're saying?"

Wu Xiaoliu nodded firmly: "I know what I'm talking about, and I can tell you with certainty that you heard me right, Xiao Chu. I've discovered a spy organization, and Jiang Cheng is even cooperating with them."

After hearing this, Li Chu hurriedly pulled Wu Xiaoliu into the living room and poured him a glass of water: "Sixth Brother, how did you find out?"

Wu Xiaoliu picked up the cup, ignoring the scalding water, and drank several mouthfuls before saying, "It's like this..."

After seeing Ding's parents off in the afternoon, Wu Xiaoliu went for a walk alone in the street.

Whether it was subconscious or not, he wandered aimlessly and ended up near the residential compound of the West City Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Looking at the residential compound across the street, Wu Xiaoliu felt a little strange. How did he end up here again? He was about to leave when he thought that since he was already here and he couldn't see very clearly the night before, he might as well stay and wander around and take a look.

He crossed the road and started walking around the supply and marketing cooperative's residential compound. After walking around for a while, he realized that the compound only had one gate, and there was no other way to get out. Moreover, the gatekeeper of the compound was very responsible, and strangers basically could not get in.

The person walked straight in the night before last, which means that person must be living inside.

Those who could live here were either employees of the supply and marketing cooperative or their family members. Wu Xiaoliu simply started wandering around the west side of the city. The supply and marketing cooperative was open today, and he wanted to see if he could find that person.

He was lucky; he spotted the man working at a supply and marketing cooperative branch a few hundred meters away from the family compound.

Wu Xiaoliu checked the time; it wasn't long before he got off work. He waited across the street, intending to follow this man to see what he did and why he was stalking Jiang Cheng.

As the saying goes, "Heaven helps those who help themselves." After get off work, this man did not go home, but walked to a scrap metal recycling station at least four or five kilometers away from his workplace.

Along the way, Wu Xiaoliu became increasingly certain that this person had a problem, and a significant one at that.

When a normal person walks, who would frequently make actions to avoid being followed? Even people from Director Liu's workplace wouldn't do that on their normal commute or when they're out for a stroll.

Wu Xiaoliu hid behind a tree and watched the man knock on the door of the purchasing station. Soon after, someone opened the door.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man who looked to be around fifty years old, with a full beard. After the door opened, the two of them acted normally, chatting and laughing as they went in and closed the door behind them, just like a normal visit to a friend.

Just as Wu Xiaoliu was about to go over and take a look, he stopped and remained hidden behind the tree, cautiously observing the gate of the purchasing station.

Sure enough, a minute or two later, the door suddenly opened, and the bearded man came out. He stood at the door, looking around carefully. After a while, he seemed to find nothing, so he went back in and closed the door.

Wu Xiaoliu breathed a sigh of relief as he stood behind the tree. If he had walked straight over, he might have run into the bearded man, which could have attracted his attention.

Because this purchasing station was in a dead end, and the surrounding area was all purchasing stations, with no other houses at all.

Watching the bearded man go back inside and close the door, Wu Xiaoliu finally came out from behind the tree, slowly walked to the gate, and peered through the crack in the door.

Unfortunately, all I could see was a row of houses on the left side of the gate, but the lights seemed to be off, so I couldn't see or hear anything inside.

Wu Xiaoliu straightened up and walked several dozen meters to the left of the gate. The wall here wasn't very high, and with a little running start, he climbed onto the top of the wall.

He cautiously peeked inside and saw that besides the row of houses at the entrance, there was another row of houses further back. One of the houses had a light on, and he didn't know exactly how many people were inside, but the person who had just come in and the bearded man should be there.

Wu Xiaoliu carefully observed the area but found nothing, so he quietly climbed over the wall and planned to get closer to the house to take a look.

After landing, he didn't move, but listened carefully for a while. When there was no sound, he crouched down and walked along the wall towards that side.
