How was Chapter 1212? Did you find any problems?
The two called for Zhui Feng to get in the car before driving away.
As soon as she got in the car, Chu Xue looked at Fu Yancheng and asked, "So, did you find anything wrong?"
Fu Yancheng's expression was solemn: "I couldn't get the specifics out of him, but Dad stammered that a colleague invited him out for drinks and cards."
Chu Xue squinted and said, "It's probably not that simple. Either he lost money, or he was tricked. Otherwise, he shouldn't have had that expression. Didn't you see that he was distracted the whole time he was eating today?"
Fu Yancheng thought about it and agreed. His father-in-law did not look the same as before today: "Then let's go to Yizhang's place later and have him send someone to investigate."
Just to be on the safe side, Chu Xue could only nod in agreement; her sixth sense had always been very accurate.
The two were lucky; they saw Kong Yizhang standing there talking to someone as soon as they arrived at the branch office gate.
Kong Yizhang immediately recognized the familiar license plate. After dismissing the driver, he jogged over and asked, "Weren't you going back to the army? Why are you here?"
Fu Yancheng didn't beat around the bush and directly told him what happened: "Could you please find someone to help investigate? Chu Xue and I are worried that he might be set up."
After listening, Kong Yizhang said, "Okay, you don't need to worry about this. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
After saying that, he thanked Chuxue: "Sister-in-law, thank you for the dried seafood you sent yesterday. We had some unexpected guests coming over tonight, so it really made a good impression on us. Your sister-in-law and the two children also enjoyed it very much."
Chu Xue was surprised by the coincidence: "I still have some left. You can bring your sister-in-law and the children over another day, and we can all get together."
Kong Yizhang laughed heartily: "You, my wife, and your sister-in-law are thinking the same thing. She even told me to contact you and your husband and see when you have time to get together."
The time wasn't set, but we agreed to contact each other again before parting ways.
Fu Yancheng started the car again, and the two men and the dog headed towards the military base.

In a courtyard in Beijing: "Wasn't we too much today? You made him lose so much. Aren't you afraid he'll never play with you again?"
"Don't worry, everyone wants to turn the tables someday. Just you wait and see. Next time he comes, give him a little taste of success. I don't believe he won't fall for it. After a few more times, he can stop. I don't believe he won't be distracted then."
"You're really ruthless. It's just a team leader position, is it really worth you being so obsessed with?"
"What do you know? I've been working so hard, and it was something I was pretty sure to win. But a newbie snatched it away. Nobody would be happy about that. Besides, if I really become the team leader, it will be easier for things to go on in the future. So naturally, I can't hold back when it comes to what I should fight for."
"What you say makes sense. Do as you please, but don't go too far."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
At this moment, Xiao's father was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) thinking about what had happened in the past few days. He felt like he had been possessed by a ghost, how could he have believed those people's lies? It seemed that he should stay away from those people in the future, lest he get deeper and deeper into trouble.
If his family finds out, he'll lose all face.
Xiao's mother called him several times but he didn't respond. Frustrated, she came over and shoved him hard: "What are you thinking about? I've called you so many times and you still can't hear me?"
Mr. Xiao quickly snapped out of his thoughts, rubbed his face, and lied, "I was so engrossed in work that I didn't hear you calling me. What's wrong? Did our son wet or soil himself?"
Xiao's mother glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't press the matter further. Instead, she changed the subject: "Shouldn't we send a message back to the village about Shi Tou's birth?"
