Chapter 408 Finding Clues
Seeing that the man had a strange expression, Lin Xia thought his makeup was smudged and covered her face nervously.
A smile flashed across Lu Yuxiu's eyes, which was accidentally caught by Lin Xia. She instantly realized that she was teased by Lu Yuxiu, and angrily reached out and punched him twice.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Lu Yuxiu reached out and grabbed his wife's hand. A hint of pink appeared on Lin Xia's angry face. She was no longer as nervous as before. Lu Yuxiu felt much more comfortable.
When Lin Xia was held in the man's warm big hand, she realized that her hand was not only cold but also trembling. In fact, she was afraid.
There were a group of people watching outside at that time. She had no confidence that anyone would help them, so she could only keep stalling for time, hoping that someone would help call the police and wait until the police arrived.
Lin Xia raised her eyes to look at Lu Yuxiu. The man noticed her gaze and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Lin Xia shook her head slightly and rested her forehead on Lu Yuxiu's shoulder. It was still some distance to the Public Security Bureau, so she could lean on him for a while.
"Have you ever had conflicts with anyone since you opened the store?"
Lin Xia shook her head: "I haven't had any conflicts with anyone. My shop has only been open for a short time, and I only serve ladies."
The young clerk raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Then have you ever thought about who it could be?"
Lin Xia recalled the disdain those people expressed towards women. "Those people said something that showed contempt towards women. Could this be a new direction?"
Lin Xia then repeated what those people said, and then added: "There are quite a few clothing stores on that street. They are all in the same business, so it is inevitable that there will be competition."
......
"Okay, you can go back first. Once we find out who hired us, we may need you to come back again."
After completing the statement, Lin Xia and others were escorted out the door by the police officers.
"Officer Zhang, I want to ask, when will the result be released? I'm worried that the man hasn't been caught and may come out again later."
"The exact time cannot be determined for now, but we will send people to patrol there soon."
After hearing this, Lin Xia could only go back and wait for news.
The group returned to the rented yard. The children were all at home and had no idea what had happened in the store.
Seeing mom and dad coming back from get off work together and then going into the room, the little kids smiled at each other.
In the room, Lin Xia saw that the children were not there, and thought with a serious face about how to provide more clues to the police.
Seeing Lin Xia frowning and not speaking for a long time, Lu Yuxiu asked gently, "What are your plans for the store?"
Lin Xia came back to her senses: "The store was smashed like that, it needs to be renovated."
In fact, what is more important is to quickly catch the person who did it. What happened today will have a great impact on the store. Customers will feel insecure when being troubled by a group of scoundrels.
I would worry about what to do if I encounter such a situation. All the things I have done before the opening would be at least half done in vain. Lin Xia hated those people so much.
Lu Yuxiu nodded after hearing this: "I understand."
Lin Xia was immersed in how to find the person behind the scenes. She knew what Lu Yuxiu said but didn't care. However, she felt safe with him around, so she immersed herself in her thoughts without any worries.
In the following days, Lu Yuxiu brought the dark-skinned boy to the store to repair the damaged parts in the morning.
"Don't wait for me in the evening, I have something to do." At noon, Lu Yuxiu peeled the shrimp shells and put them into Lin Xia's bowl.
"Will you be back in the evening?" Lin Xia thought Lu Yuxiu had something important to do, so she didn't ask any more questions.
The main reason is that men often go out on missions, and those things need to be kept confidential. Lin Xia knew that Lu Yuxiu would not tell her even if she asked him, so she got used to not asking him about his work.
Lu Yuxiu nodded and peeled another shrimp: "Go back."
"Okay, eat it yourself and don't peel it for me." Seeing that he kept preparing food for himself, Lin Xia urged him to eat it himself.
Da Jun and his companions looked at Uncle Lu taking care of Aunt Lin in a daze, and then turned their attention to Lele and his companions who were supporting themselves.
Lele noticed the gazes of several people and looked back with some confusion.
Xiaojun leaned close to Lele's ear and whispered, "Are Uncle Lu and Aunt Lin like this at home?"
Lele was a little confused by the question. He looked up and found that it was his father who was peeling shrimp for his mother. Then he said calmly, "It's not like that."
Hearing this, Xiaojun made excuses for Auntie Lin in his heart, thinking that Auntie Lin must be feeling unwell, so Uncle Lu...
"It's even more exaggerated at home." Lele said as if it was commonplace. They had been looking at it this way since they were little, so they were already used to it.
Xiaojun: “???”
He turned to see Aunt Lin eating shrimps happily, then met Uncle Lu's cold eyes. Xiaojun was frightened and immediately lowered his head and ate obediently.
It was not until the evening when Lin Xia was lying on the bed and about to fall asleep that she heard a noise. She immediately got up and turned on the light, and saw the man who had been missing since noon, standing at the door of the room in pajamas and covered in steam.
It looked like he went to take a shower, but Lin Xia didn't hear any sound.
"Did I wake you up?" Seeing that Lin Xia was awake, Lu Yuxiu stopped being cautious.
"I couldn't sleep." Lin Xia's mind was full of thoughts and she couldn't sleep at all.
Lu Yuxiu also knew what she was worried about, but he still lay on the bed without asking anything.
Lin Xia lay in the familiar embrace, unable to fall asleep at first, but unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes, it was already morning.
There was no one around, and Lin Xia sat on the bed for a minute.
The store just needed some final touches to be completed, and the goods from the daily chemical factory would arrive soon. Lin Xia got up and went to the living room, only to see a few children doing something.
"Mom, food is on the table." Seeing Lin Xia get up, An An shouted loudly.
Lin Xia lifted the cover and saw millet porridge and steamed buns. "Where's your dad?"
Yang Hongmei was not there either. Lin Xia guessed that she must have gone to the store to work, but she didn't know where Lu Yuxiu had gone.
"Dad said he was going to the store and asked us not to disturb you," Lele added.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xia immediately sped up, finished her breakfast in a few bites, changed her clothes and went out.
"Do you feel a little strange?" Lele looked at Lin Xia's back as she walked out the door and said thoughtfully.
"What's so strange?" Xiaojun was a little confused when he heard that.
"It's indeed a bit strange!" An An also felt strange when she heard it. She felt that Lin Xia and Yang Hongmei's expressions after get off work were a bit weird.
"No! There must be something wrong!" Lele said with a serious expression.
"What do you remember?" Several people looked at Lele, waiting for his answer.
