Chapter 52 The Investigation Begins

Chen Baoping led Yun Wangshu into the outermost bedroom and placed her bundle on the kang (a heated brick bed). "This is your sister Hemiao's room. She got married the year before last, and the room became empty. But your aunt comes in every day to tidy it up, so it's very clean. You can stay here."

The room was indeed clean and tidy, and there was no musty smell. Yun Wangshu took out two bottles of face cream from her bag and stuffed them into Chen Baoping's hands: "Auntie, this is for you and Sister Hemiao. Don't refuse. I didn't refuse to stay in this room."

Chen Baoping glanced at it and immediately recognized it as a high-quality item from Shanghai. She beamed with joy, "It's kind of you to remember your aunt and your sister. Okay, I'll accept the gift. Don't be so polite next time. We are your elders, all older than you. There's no need for you to spend money on us."

Yun Wangshu smiled but didn't say anything. If it weren't for maintaining the image of Yun Feifan and the Yun family, she wouldn't bother with these people.

Chen Baoping happily went to cook, saying she absolutely refused Yun Wangshu's help. Yun Wangshu took the opportunity to stay in the room and tidy up. Seeing her enter the kitchen, she immediately released Xiao Hua: "Find a secluded place to settle down, and come back after you've gathered all the information."

Little Flower: "Yes, Master!"

It excitedly darted out and took root in the grass behind the yard. It was also clever, knowing that it didn't fit in, so it shrank all its flowers into buds. From a distance, it looked like a small sapling that hadn't grown much.

At the same time, Yun Wangshu spread her divine sense, and within a 500-meter radius centered on her, every blade of grass and every tree was "in her eyes".

The joys and sorrows of families, the anger, ignorance, resentment and hatred of individuals—this small corner is a microcosm of the myriad aspects of life. Even though she didn't see the entire residential area, she had a general understanding of the basic situation here.

Perhaps she was just unlucky; Jiang Weihong and Liang Chunsheng's house wasn't within the designated area. But that didn't matter; she'd go for a stroll after dinner and see if she could find those two mice.

Chen Baoping's cooking skills were quite good, a bit better than Tian Juan's. She was very satisfied with her lunch, but halfway through the meal, someone came over and started chattering incessantly like a loudspeaker.

"Sister Ping, you'd better go and see! The Shen family is fighting again, and Zhu Haomei has even drawn a knife!"

"What?!!"

Chen Baoping was shocked. She dropped her chopsticks and ran outside, remembering to call out, "Shushu, you eat first!"

Yun Wangshu subconsciously probed with her divine sense and saw that many people were rushing to the east. Obviously, the center of the accident was more than 500 meters away.

She felt something was wrong. Why were they always going beyond the permitted area? Just how big was this residential compound?

It doesn't look like a courtyard, it looks more like a village.

She finished her meal in a few bites and headed over there, which would give her a perfectly legitimate reason to do so.

Yun Wangshu collected information as she walked, and by the time she reached her destination, she had figured out exactly what had happened.

Shen Yifan is a battalion commander in the First Regiment. His wife, Zhu Haomei, is an intelligence agent in a special team. They met during a mission and soon got married and had children.

These two can be described as a powerful combination, but the problem lies in the fact that both are strong.

Their child has turned one year old. Zhu Haomei proposed to return to the army to continue to dedicate herself, but Shen Yifan hoped that she would retire and go home to take care of the child, because her son needed her more than the country.

Zhu Haomei would of course not agree. They had agreed before they got married that she would not retire from the military because of family reasons. Both of them were soldiers, and Shen Yifan could understand and support her.

However, after giving birth, Shen Yifan not only disagreed with Zhu Haomei returning to the special team, but also forbade her from doing clerical and logistical work, wishing he could tie her to the house.
