Chapter 130 Diverting Attention
Li Caifeng suddenly popped her head out from the corner. When she saw this scene, her face turned pale instantly and she hurriedly retracted her head. Gu Qiuyue clearly saw that her hands were shaking, and she was obviously scared.
"Hey, why are the security people here?" Sister Chen said in surprise, "What happened?"
Gu Qiuyue knew in her heart that this must be the beginning of the "processing" that Shi Yu mentioned.
She whispered to Aunt Zhao, "Maybe it's about Aiying's family. Didn't they say their house was robbed?"
Sister Chen suddenly realized: "We should investigate thoroughly. Our compound hasn't had any thieves in years, and it just happened at this time..."
Before he finished speaking, the security department had already walked over, led by the head of the department, Zhang Zhigang, a burly old man in his forties. He saw Gu Qiuyue and Aunt Zhao and nodded politely: "Teacher Gu, Sister Chen."
"Chief Zhang, what happened?" Sister Chen asked directly.
Zhang Zhigang said solemnly, "We received a report from Deputy Division Commander Xie and are here to investigate last night's burglary. Also..." He paused, lowering his voice, "There have been some suspicious individuals active near the compound lately, so we need to step up security."
Gu Qiuyue noticed that when Zhang Zhigang was speaking, his eyes inadvertently swept towards the corner where Li Caifeng was hiding, and she knew in her heart that the Security Department might have already grasped more information.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the corner, followed by the sound of someone falling. Gu Qiuyue, Sister Chen and Zhang Zhigang looked at each other and immediately walked towards the source of the sound.
Turning the corner, I saw Li Caifeng sitting on the ground, her face as pale as paper, with items scattered around her - it was obvious that she accidentally tripped while trying to leave in a panic.
"Sister Caifeng, are you okay?" Gu Qiuyue stepped forward to help her, but was pushed away by Li Caifeng.
"Don't touch me!" Li Caifeng screamed, hurriedly picking up the scattered things, as if she was eager to cover up something.
But Gu Qiuyue was sharp-eyed and had already noticed a photo on the ground - it was a photo of Li Caifeng and a man with a mustache. The two behaved intimately, and the background seemed to be a hotel.
Li Caifeng obviously realized that Gu Qiuyue had seen the photo. She suddenly turned pale and clenched the photo in her hand. Her lips trembled but she couldn't say a word.
Zhang Zhigang stepped forward, his expression serious. "Comrade Li Caifeng, could you please go to the Security Department and help us understand the situation?"
Li Caifeng trembled all over and looked around in panic, as if looking for an opportunity to escape. Gu Qiuyue's heart beat faster. She realized that this matter was far more complicated than she had imagined. It seemed that Li Caifeng was hiding more secrets.
At this moment, Li Caifeng suddenly looked up and stared at Gu Qiuyue. A complex emotion mixed with fear and resentment flashed in her eyes, which made Gu Qiuyue feel a chill down her spine.
The storm has begun, and this seems to be just the tip of the iceberg...
Gu Qiuyue's heart trembled at Li Caifeng's resentful gaze, but she remained calm. Instead of retreating, she advanced and said gently, "Sister-in-law Caifeng, the comrades from the security department are just trying to understand the situation. You just need to cooperate. If everything is fine, they will naturally not make things difficult for you."
These words seemed to comfort her, but in fact they cut off Li Caifeng's escape route from making unreasonable demands.
Sure enough, Li Caifeng's lips trembled even more violently, her eyes became erratic, and the knuckles of her fingers that were clutching the photo turned white.
Zhang Zhigang was experienced. Seeing this, he stepped forward and said in a steady tone with an authority that could not be refused: "Comrade Li Caifeng, let's go." He stepped aside to make way, and two young security officers stood silently behind him.
Li Caifeng's face was ashen, knowing she couldn't escape. She slowly got up and brushed off the dust on her body. But her eyes, like poison, glared at Gu Qiuyue once again, squeezing out a sentence through her teeth: "Gu Qiuyue, you...you are fine!"
Gu Qiuyue sighed inwardly, knowing that the feud was over, but her face remained calm: "Sister-in-law, take care. Just explain everything clearly."
Watching Li Caifeng being taken away by the security department, Sister Chen patted her chest and came over with lingering fear: "Oh my God, what a scene...Qiuyue, do you think Caifeng is really involved with that man? Look at her like she's scared to death."
"Whatever the truth is, the Security Department will naturally give everyone an explanation after they have investigated it." Gu Qiuyue took Sister Chen's arm and spoke in a more relaxed tone. "Let's not just watch the fun. Sister Chen, thanks to you for providing the venue, our family can earn some money to supplement the family income. You must come with me to visit today."
She cleverly changed the subject. News in the compound spread faster than the wind, and she didn't want everyone to gather here to talk about Li Caifeng. Firstly, it would be detrimental to the investigation, and secondly, it would easily cause unnecessary panic and rumors.
Sister Chen's attention was indeed attracted: "Oh! That's great!" She immediately put Li Caifeng behind her and happily followed Gu Qiuyue to the workshop.
The military wives in the workshop were busy with their own things. When they saw Gu Qiuyue and Sister Chen come in, they all turned around and expressed their gratitude to them incessantly.
Sister Chen felt embarrassed by everyone's compliments and kept saying, "I didn't do anything. It was mainly Qiuyue who took the lead."
Gu Qiuyue smiled and said, "Even if I have a good idea, I can't put it into practice without a place to put it into practice. Besides, it's much more convenient to open a workshop in the courtyard than outside. Sister Chen, you have helped us a lot."
Everyone thanked Sister Chen. Sister Chen also took a look at the finished and semi-finished products in the workshop, and chatted with everyone for a while before leaving.
After seeing Sister Chen off, Gu Qiuyue also returned home. The smile on her face slowly faded. Seeing that the open space where Li Caifeng was taken away had returned to peace, her heart could not calm down. Li Caifeng's last look always made her feel that this matter was not over yet.
As soon as I walked in, I heard familiar footsteps behind me. It was Shi Yu coming back.
Gu Qiuyue hurried to meet him. Xie Shiyu was still in his military uniform, with a hint of fatigue on his face, but his eyes were still sharp.
"Are you back? How did things go?" Gu Qiuyue took her son from his arms.
Xie Shiyu held her hand and patted it gently. "The person has been apprehended and is currently being interrogated. The security department has initially determined that Li Caifeng and the mustache man have an unusual relationship, perhaps more than just a simple relationship between a man and a woman. That person has a complicated background and seems to be involved with some idle people in society."
Gu Qiuyue's heart sank: "What about Aiying's family..."
"It's most likely related to her." Xie Shiyu said in a serious tone.
He paused, then looked at Gu Qiuyue, his gaze softening. "You handled the situation very well just now. You didn't let the idle military families in the courtyard gather together to discuss things. It would have been bad if some outrageous rumors had spread."
