The Alley Residents 2: The Hard Road

Zhuang Tunan worked overtime during the New Year and injured his leg. He accompanied his parents back to the alley. Although Li Jia wanted to walk with him, his family always opposed it. Lin Dongzh...

Chapter 125 After the Search

Just as Lin Dongzhe drove the Wu family of three to the entrance of the alley, he saw several police cars parked next to Wu Shanshan's movie theater, which attracted many neighbors.

When Wu Jianguo and Zhang Amei saw that something had happened to Wu Shanshan, they stopped the car, opened the doors, and ran towards the movie theater.

Jiang Xiaoyue, who was left behind, also wanted to get out through the same car door that Zhang Amei had used.

But before she could move over, the Wu couple had already walked far away. So just as she was about to leave, Lin Dongzhe suddenly said, "Are you just going to leave like this?"

Jiang Xiaoyue left a message at the car door, saying, "From today onwards, let's pretend we don't know each other!"

After saying that, she got out of the car and ran towards the movie theater.

Lin Dongzhe was somewhat unwilling to give up and wanted to chase after them. Just as he opened the car door and was about to walk forward...

Lin Wufeng, who was guarding the stall for the dealer, said to Lin Dongzhe, "Lin Dongzhe, what are you trying to do?"

Lin Dongzhe turned to Lin Wufeng and said, "Dad, Xiaoting's father asked me to bring Uncle Wu back. I just wanted to see what was going on."

"Don't try anything funny with me. I know what you're up to. If you have nothing to do, go back to the supermarket and don't get involved here!"

"Then I'll go back to the hospital and pick up my mom and the others!"

Lin Wufeng rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.

When Wu Jianguo and Zhang Amei walked to the other side, they saw that Wu Shanshan was too scared to say a word. She stood there with her eyes vacant and her hands hanging down at her shoulders.

Fearing his daughter was terrified, Wu Jianguo rushed forward and asked Wu Shanshan, "Shanshan, Shanshan, what's wrong?"

As soon as Wu Shanshan saw Wu Jianguo, she looked like a child who had done something wrong, and cried out to him with her mouth wide open, "Dad, Dad!"

Wu Jianguo quickly comforted him, saying, "It's okay, kid, it's okay, Dad's here! Nobody can do anything to you! It's okay, don't cry, crying isn't good for the baby. Look at you, all pregnant, why are you crying?"

Wu Shanshan looked at the police officers guarding the door and said, "Dad, we've been framed! Someone actually reported our cinema for showing pornographic films. It's so unfair, even more wronged than Dou E!"

"Alright! Alright, stop crying, honey. Dad knows you're innocent, but for the sake of the baby in your belly, please don't cry!"

Just as Wu Jianguo was comforting Wu Shanshan, Qin Chuan led Wu Xiaojun and other colleagues out of the movie theater. Finding that they hadn't arrested anyone, Wu Jianguo said to Wu Xiaojun, "Xiaojun, what happened? Why would you do that to your own sister?"

Wu Xiaojun quickly feigned innocence and said, "It wasn't me! Dad, someone reported us, so we had to come and check!"

Wu Jianguo said angrily, "Who is it? Tell me who reported me, and I'll slap him across the face. He's just making false accusations!"

At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyue came over, helped Zhang Amei up, and didn't say a word, looking as if nothing had happened.

Wu Xiaojun glanced at Jiang Xiaoyue and said, "I won't tell you about the whistleblower, Dad. We have to keep the whistleblower's identity a secret. I'm sorry!"

Wu Jianguo, still somewhat angry, said, "Wu Xiaojun, you can't be so heartless! The money you spent on school and the living expenses for your auxiliary police training were all given to you by your sister. Don't let me find out you're an ingrate!"

Wu Xiaojun also feigned grievance and said, "I'm a public servant, how can I not think about the general public? When someone reports something, we have to go out on duty. Fortunately, we didn't find anything. When we get back, we will seriously question the person who reported it. Don't worry, Dad! We won't arrest people randomly or wrongly accuse them without evidence!"

Upon hearing that nothing had been found, Wu Jianguo relaxed considerably and said, "See, we wronged your sister! Even though you work for the government, you can't be so hasty. It's not good for your sister's reputation!"

"Yes, yes, I understand, Dad. I'll talk to and educate the whistleblower when I get back. That's all for now, I'll be going now, I still need to give a statement when I get back!"

"Okay, come home early after get off work so we can discuss your marriage with Jiang Xiaoyue!"

"Okay, Dad!"

Qin Chuan watched the father and son talking without saying a word. Although they hadn't found any evidence, they did have a videotape cover, which they could use to explain things when they got back. It wasn't that Wu Xiaojun and the others hadn't tried their best; it was just that Zhou Chengzhi's wife was cunning.

Wu Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the police officers get into their cars and leave. Then she said to Wu Jianguo, "Dad, you go home first! I'll come see you and your wife later!"

Wu Jianguo said, "No rush, no rush, let's take care of your business first. Don't be afraid! Dad's here! Don't be afraid!"

"Yes, thank you, Dad!"

"Oh, no need to thank me!"

Wu Jianguo then turned around and left the movie theater with Zhang Amei and Jiang Xiaoyue.

The other onlookers also began to leave one after another.

Wu Shanshan hurried to the cinema entrance, told the staff to close the doors, and instructed, "Keep an eye on the doors. We're closed today. No one is allowed to come in!"

"Okay, boss!"

Wu Shanshan quickly returned to the cinema office down the corridor and saw Zhou Chengzhi sitting on the sofa looking worried. She said, "Honey, how are you? Did I scare you?"

Zhou Chengzhi looked up at Wu Shanshan with lingering fear and said, "How could I not be scared? I was so scared my liver almost jumped out of my chest, it scared me to death, especially that cover, it was terrifying!"

"It's alright now, don't be scared, honey, it's alright!"

"No, this pornographic movie theater can't show any more of these. Luckily, there haven't been any new tapes these past few days, and I've already sold off the old ones. Otherwise, we would definitely be in trouble. Getting caught could mean a three-year prison sentence!"

Wu Shanshan smiled and said, "It's alright, isn't it? Just be more careful next time!"

"When Xiaojun gets back, I'll ask him who reported us, who he knows, and I'll kill him. How dare he let bad things happen to me!"

Without hesitation, Wu Shanshan replied, "I know who it is without even asking me."

"who?"

"Wei San!"

"Wei San? How do you know it's him? That's impossible! This guy comes as soon as he gets a new tape; he's a regular customer!"

"But I can't think of anyone else but him. You know, this guy came to ask me first thing this morning if I had any new tapes. I yelled at him and he left. He must be holding a grudge and trying to ruin our plans!"

"Is that so? Since you suspect this kid, I won't let him off the hook either, but it's not certain. We also need to be wary of other things!"

Wu Shanshan asked with some confusion, "Who...who do we have to be wary of?"

"Of course it's your younger brother who's a police auxiliary officer, and your sister-in-law!"

"They are the people I trust most, and they are my family!"

"Those who betray you are often acquaintances or relatives, so be careful!"

"Okay! Even though what you said is unreliable, I'll still be careful!"

"I left some tapes on the ceiling. I'll deal with them later. What happened today was terrifying. I can't store any more pornographic videotapes in the future!"

"Then how will we make big money in the future?"

"Honey, don't worry. The land is going to be demolished soon, right? I need to raise some funds to buy land, and I also need to be prepared for forced demolition. So there will be plenty of opportunities to make money!"

Suddenly, Wu Shanshan acted like a spoiled young girl, clinging to Zhou Chengzhi's arm, resting her face on his shoulder, and said gently, "Honey, it's so good to have you. You make me feel so happy!"

Zhou Chengzhi said lecherously, "Wife, don't do this. I might lose control, especially since you're heavily pregnant!"

Wu Shanshan said with a smile, "It's only been six months, what's the big deal? It won't affect our family's harmony and happiness!"

Zhou Chengzhi rubbed his hands together, a lewd look on his face, and said, "Since you put it that way, then I won't be polite!"

As he spoke, he hugged Wu Shanshan affectionately.
