The next day.

Ye Nian'an went to work as usual and ran into Meng Sufang and Bai Xiaofei.

"Dr. Ye, how was things at your place last night?"

After a day, the theft at the Chu family's home was no longer a secret in this small village.

Liangtian Township is known for its good discipline, and thefts like this are very rare.

This time, in particular, it almost resulted in the death of a young intellectual sent to the countryside.

As soon as it was light, Shi Minghui rushed to the town's commune to report the incident to the police and request an investigation.

Regardless of whether there are any clues, this kind of malignant tumor must be found and eradicated as soon as possible!

"It's alright. By the way, Comrade Meng Sufang, are you in a hurry to get to work? I have something to tell you."

"Okay, Dr. Ye."

After Meng Sufang and Ye Nian'an entered the medical station, the latter simply told them everything about her suspicions about Su Mingyue.

After listening, Meng Sufang nodded repeatedly: "I can testify that Su Zhiqing was indeed gone for a long time last night, so long that my brother-in-law couldn't sit still and went out to look for her for quite a while before he found her."

“At the time, Su explained that she had quarreled with her second and third younger sisters-in-law, felt better, and didn’t want to see them, so she went out to relax and stayed for too long.”

“I find it a bit strange, but Su Zhiqing’s explanation is reasonable and I can’t say anything. But now, considering the theft at your house, I just feel something is off.”

Like Ye Nian'an, Meng Sufang indeed lacks evidence.

But they all had a strange feeling towards Su Mingyue.

I always felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Of course, Meng Sufang was unaware that Ye Nian'an had stolen Su Mingyue's precious ginseng.

Otherwise, I would support Ye Nian'an 100%; it must be Su Mingyue's doing!

Ye Nian'an asked in a low voice, "How was Su Zhiqing's condition at that time?"

“I didn’t get too close, but judging from Su Zhiqing’s clothes… he must have been sweating a lot before my brother-in-law took him away.”

"You sweated a lot, didn't you?"

Ye Nian'an seemed to be deep in thought.

If it really was Su Mingyue who did it, she must be going through a lot of mental anguish in the coming days while the town's police come to investigate.

Just as Ye Nian'an had thought.

Su Mingyue got up early in the morning, unable to fall back asleep.

I decided to continue making breakfast for the Bai family at the normal pace to avoid giving myself away.

When Su Mingyue learned that it was Jiang Nuan who had entered the Chu family's house and discovered the thief, her heart skipped a beat.

Although Jiang Nuan was knocked unconscious by Su Mingyue as soon as she entered the house.

But it's hard to say whether she saw her own reflection.

It was so dark then, Jiang Nuan didn't even have time to react. She'll be alright, she should be alright...

Su Mingyue, stop scaring yourself.

Fortunately, Jiang Nuan only suffered a head injury and was not in life-threatening danger, which relieved Su Mingyue.

It's not that Su Mingyue has a particularly high moral standard.

Instead, it resulted in a death, and she knew this was a huge deal; the police from the town would definitely investigate it thoroughly.

Now that no one has been killed and the Chu family has not lost anything, the police, after understanding the situation, will naturally feel that this is a thankless task, as they will not be able to find the murderer and will be wasting their time, so they will want to leave.

Even though Su Mingyue tried to comfort herself with countless reasons, she was still restless.

Maybe……

Because Ye Nian'an noticed it.

This woman seemed to be his nemesis.

Getting involved with her never ends well.

If he hadn't suspected Ye Nian'an of stealing his thousand-year-old ginseng, he wouldn't have taken such a risk...

Just as Su Mingyue was lost in thought, Bai Yuxiao came to her side.

"Bright moon?"

"Bright Moon!!"

After several shouts, Su Mingyue was startled and almost knocked the pot out of her hand.

"It's...it's you, Yu Xiao! You almost scared me to death!"

Su Mingyue patted her chest, panting heavily.

"What's wrong with you? You seem distracted; the thing in your hands is about to burn."

"ah."

Su Mingyue hurriedly moved the pot away.

"I...I heard about the Chu family getting thieves, and it almost resulted in a death. Yu Xiao, I've been in the brigade for almost two years, and I've never heard of anything so terrifying."

"Are the Chu family some kind of jinx? Ever since they came to the brigade, nothing good has happened. It's always arguing, and they're the ones who even attracted the thieves."

"Alright, Mingyue, thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. They spend money lavishly, eat such good food every day, and even stole a bicycle. There are actually quite a few people who would be eyeing their family and want to take risks."

"These days, every family is struggling, so why is it that the family that was sent down to the countryside is living such a good life?"

Bai Yuxiao, however, disagreed.

There was even a hint of jealousy in his tone.

It wasn't just because of Su Mingyue; there were quite a few people in the brigade who were jealous of the Chu family, just like Bai Yuxiao.

Bai Yuxiao simply didn't have the guts to steal from the Chu family; if she were caught, her life would be ruined.

He was far from being at his wit's end.

Hearing Bai Yuxiao say this, Su Mingyue's panicked heart gradually calmed down.

Yes, there are quite a few people in the brigade who envy, are jealous of, and hate the Chu family. No matter how much Ye Nian'an suspects, she can't possibly suspect herself.

With so many suspects, and no crucial evidence left behind, the police have no way of finding out that it was you who stole it.

However, before the police come knocking, I have to take care of everything that needs to be dealt with!

While everyone was having breakfast, Su Mingyue made an excuse to go to the restroom.

Back in her room, looking at her most treasured international designer perfume, Su Mingyue couldn't help but bite her thin lips.

This wasn't brought from home; it was a gift from the system's initial newbie gift pack.

A super-sized bottle of Chanel perfume that can last for several years!

Even so, Su Mingyue used it sparingly, only daring to spray a little bit on her body each time to maintain her fragrance and increase her charm to attract Bai Yuxiao.

However, Su Mingyue wore this perfume when she went to the Chu family yesterday...

To completely eliminate the possibility of being discovered, Su Mingyue could only suppress her heartache and hide the perfume bottle.

Let's dig it up and use it after this matter is completely resolved.

So, Su Mingyue folded all the clothes, pants, and perfume she had worn the day before and hid them in a box before sneaking out of the room.

Little did they know that two small figures were hiding in the shadows, watching everything Su Mingyue did.

Until Su Mingyue carefully found a secluded spot, quietly buried the box in a pre-dug pit, refilled it, and then left as if nothing had happened.

Those two small figures never left, taking in the entire scene that had just unfolded...

When Su Mingyue went back for breakfast, she ran into the Bai family going to work.

"Su Zhiqing, where have you run off to again? I didn't see you at breakfast."
