Chapter 505 They Made Their Move
Fang Hua returned from a spree of gossip, becoming more and more excited as he spoke: "The reason I kept looking for someone to treat Chu Tianhe was because Chen Lanfeng wouldn't give up."
“She was afraid that Chu Tiancheng would bring the illegitimate child back, and she was also arranging to find a wife for Chu Jiahe, thinking that it would be fine to have a normal grandson, but Liu Tiancheng couldn’t wait.”
"Because his health is deteriorating year by year, and it's not easy for him to get promoted. It would be good if he could maintain his current achievements. He doesn't want to work like this for the rest of his life without anyone to take his place."
"So, he brought this illegitimate child back. He heard that this illegitimate child was very capable and entered the Ministry of Health at a young age. He never expected that he would be your colleague now."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "It's okay. He's only in charge of some supervision work and doesn't participate in the experiments. Besides, he doesn't understand them either."
Fang Hua nodded: "Anyway, we still need to be careful with the Chu family."
Jiang Zhizhi responded, "Mom, you go and rest. We'll go give Shangshang and Xiao Zhou a bath."
The two little ones insisted on sleeping with their parents again that night. Shang Shang still had a little ulterior motive; she felt that if they slept with their parents, they would be discovered by her and Xiao Zhouji if they went out to play.
Little Zhou doesn't think things through at all; he just goes wherever his sister goes.
As long as there's food and fun, that's enough.
The two children slept in the middle, while Jiang Zhizhi and Zhou Xiye slept on either side.
While putting the child to sleep, neither of them spoke, each lost in their own thoughts in the darkness.
Jiang Zhizhi was thinking about Chu Fenghe. If he was also a time traveler, when did he travel here? If he had investigated her, would he have already discovered that she was different?
Hopefully, it's just her overthinking and a coincidence.
Zhou Xiye was thinking about Jiang Zhizhi. If Jiang Zhizhi knew about the problems that had occurred in the past two days, it would definitely affect her. He decided to let himself resolve his doubts.
Jiang Zhizhi was exhausted after a long day. Since the two children were still awake, she went to sleep first. As for the things she hadn't figured out yet, she would just take it one step at a time.
The next morning, when Jiang Zhizhi was going to the lab, Shang Shang hugged her father tightly, only feeling at ease when she was sure her mother was leaving alone.
After Jiang Zhizhi left, Shangshang pointed outside and said, "Let's go play, Daddy's going to play, take Shangshang and Xiao Zhouji with him."
Upon hearing that they were going to play, Xiao Zhouji happily strode towards the sofa, picked up his and his sister's coats, but being too small to hold them properly, he dragged himself along and ran towards Zhou Xiye.
Fang Hua was afraid that the clothes dragging on the ground would trip him, so she quickly went to help him up: "Look at our little Zhou Ji, he's so eager to go out and play."
Zhou Xiye smiled and patted Shangshang's head: "Okay, let's go out and play."
I dressed the two children in cotton-padded clothes and trousers, put on hats, and carried one while holding the other's hand as we went out.
Once outside, the two children weren't thinking about going ice skating. Shangshang pointed in the direction of the convenience store: "Dad, let's go buy some, let's buy some delicious food."
Little Zhouji had already taken action, pulling his father's finger and walking towards the service center.
Left with no other choice, Zhou Xiye could only take his two children to the service center.
There weren't many snacks for the kids, just a limited number of options, but for Shangshang and Xiaozhouji, it was paradise.
Song Dong drove over and saw Zhou Xiye holding one child in one arm and leading another child by the hand from afar.
Smiling, she parked the car next to Zhou Xiye and rolled down the window: "I didn't expect you to be so kind when you're taking care of the child."
Zhou Xiye ignored his teasing, opened the back door, put Shang Shang in, then put Xiao Zhou Ji in, closed the door, and got into the passenger seat.
The two little ones just bought some candy, and they're sitting very well right now.
After Shangshang sat down, she greeted her uncle in a childish voice.
She shouted, and Xiao Zhouji shouted back, and the two of them started competing to see who could shout louder, calling out "Uncle, Uncle" over and over.
Song Dong was both amused and exasperated, and quickly tried to appease him: "Okay, okay, Uncle is fine, and you are all fine too."
Once the two children started eating quietly, Song Dong smiled at Zhou Xiye and said, "Everyone says your two children are lively, and it seems that's true. They're also good-looking."
Zhou Xiye said with a hint of pride, "That's true, they are very good."
Song Dong clicked his tongue twice: "By the way, let's get down to business. A lot of things were found in Chen Liqin's house, all of them poisonous insects and snakes. I'm really impressed. He managed to rummage through such a small place. No wonder it stinks so badly."
"I've ordered a reinvestigation of this case, with a deadline of one month. What do you think Chen Liqin's purpose was in faking his death? If it was to escape, why did he reappear?"
Zhou Xiye raised an eyebrow: "I'm not a police officer, how would I know that?"
Song Dong laughed. This man, how childish! How old is he, still holding a grudge! All he did was tease him a couple of times.
Zhou Xiye paused for a moment before speaking again: "Could it be that someone deliberately steered the conflict to Chen Liqin's courtyard? Knowing that the person is already dead and no one has lived there all winter, why would they leave an address here?"
Song Dong nodded: "That's what I think too, but we can't find this Chen Liqin now, and there's no way to prove that the old man who died wasn't Chen Liqin. If he wasn't Chen Liqin, then who was?"
"This case is quite interesting. I came to tell you that I'm going home to check on things later. My mom calls me every day, and if I don't come back soon, she's going to come to my workplace looking for me."
After exchanging a few words, Zhou Xiye asked Song Dong, "When you're handling cases, have you ever encountered a case where the person is the same as before, but the soul is different?"
Song Dong stared at Zhou Xiye in shock: "What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't this the legendary possession by a spirit? That only happens in ghost stories."
Zhou Xiye raised an eyebrow: "I'm just curious. You should go see your aunt. I'm taking the child home."
The two little ones didn't make a fuss. When their dad said they were going home, they went home.
Shangshang waved her little hand and said, "Goodbye, Uncle. Uncle is going to play at Shangshang's house."
As soon as the little Zhouji was placed on the ground, it started running like a little train engine.
Zhou Xiye didn't have time to say much to Song Dong, and picked up Shang Shang to chase after Xiao Zhouji.
Song Dong smiled as he watched Zhou Xiye catch up with Xiao Zhouji, grabbing Xiao Zhouji by the collar and telling him to slow down.
It has to be said that Zhou Xiye is quite down-to-earth!
After watching for a while, I drove home. The thought of facing Chen Limin's nagging made my smile disappear inexplicably.
Chen Limin leaned unsteadily on the sofa. When she saw her son enter, she said sarcastically, "Now that you're a leader, it's really not easy for me, as your mother, to see you."
Song Dong said helplessly, "Mom, I'm very busy with work. During the Spring Festival, none of us on the police line got a break."
Chen Limin gave a mocking laugh: "Yes, you're busier than the national leaders. Even if I die of illness and my body rots, you won't have time to collect my corpse."
Song Dong said helplessly, "Mom, can't you speak properly? Why did you call me back?"
Chen Limin sat up straight abruptly, her voice rising a few decibels: "Something's wrong, of course something's wrong, that silly wife of Li Simin is pregnant!"
