Chapter 283 Maybe there will be some progress soon
"Well...then why did you ask for leave? What was it about?" Ye Ying continued to ask.
This is a bit confusing. She doesn't know whether she should trust Sun Xi's words.
She was just trying to recruit an employee, but ended up causing so much trouble. She won't dare to hire anyone personally in the future. She will have to do a background check!
Sun Xi took a deep breath and said, "The first time was because I saw Yang Long's henchmen passing by. I'm sure you, Sister Ye Ying, have seen them too!"
"I was afraid of being discovered by them, so I took a few days off to hide."
Ye Ying's brows were getting more and more furrowed.
It turned out that this was not her illusion. The two strange men who looked into the store again and again were indeed "up to something".
They may have spotted Sun Xi a long time ago, but they were not sure if it was her.
At that time, I was thinking of confirming it again, but it turned out that Sun Xi had taken a leave, and the person I saw during those two days was actually her.
But thinking of this, Ye Ying became even more confused.
"What about the second time? What happened?"
"The second time was because Yang Long and his friends went to the restaurant next door to eat! When I saw them, I wanted to find a chance to run away, but they didn't notice me."
"When I came back to work, I found that Sister Ye Ying's shop had been burned down. I saw the store was burned down like this, and I thought something had happened to you!"
"Luckily you came with Captain Ji. I felt so guilty. I was afraid that if I stayed here, I would harm you. I wanted to ask you to resign several times."
Sun Xi looked at Ye Ying with a self-blaming expression, took a breath, and then continued, "But after hearing you say that Yang Long was in jail, I started to feel lucky again, so..."
After listening to this, Ye Ying still had many questions.
She was a little confused. Even if Yang Long and his gang found out that Sun Xi was inside, there was no need to set fire and kill people to silence them!
Moreover, from what Hu Liu said, it seemed that they had only noticed that the person in the store was suspected to be Sun Xi, or that there was someone who looked like Sun Xi, but they had not confirmed it.
Then they have even less reason to do things like killing people and putting out fires!
However, it seems that they have some leverage over Sun Xi, which is why they are so eager to take her back?
Ye Ying thought about it for a long time and preliminarily determined that the two incidents had nothing to do with each other.
She was still full of questions and wanted to continue asking, but there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Comrade Ye Ying, are you in there?"
It was Yu Gang's voice.
Ye Ying was about to open the door, but Sun Xi grabbed her arm and said, "Sister Ye Ying, can you please not tell the police what I just told you?"
"Why? They can help you."
"Please, Sister Ye Ying, at least don't say it now, okay?"
There was another knock on the door, "Ye Ying?!"
"Ah, here comes Comrade Yu Gang."
Ye Ying ignored Sun Xi's pleading expression and went to open the door for Yu Gang.
"Comrade Yu Gang, why are you here?"
Yu Gang looked inside the store and explained, "I just received a message from the crowd saying that something was wrong here, so I came over to take a look. Is it Yang Long's group?"
When this name was mentioned, Yu Gang frowned almost imperceptibly, looking serious.
"Oh, yes." Ye Ying glanced at Sun Xi, "It was those bald bastards who caused trouble last time. They left half an hour ago."
"But then again, why did those bastards get out so quickly?"
"Gone?" Yu Gang was surprised, and then answered Ye Ying: "The passerby who was beaten came to the police station on his own initiative within two days and agreed to reconcile with them."
Ye Ying was silent.
There is no need to explain the reason behind this.
"Then why did they come to trouble you this time?" Yu Gang's expression became serious. "The arsonist has not been found yet. Your information may become a key clue."
Ye Ying's gaze fell on Sun Xi.
Sun Xi noticed and whispered, "It's still because of what happened last time..."
"Really?" Yu Gang raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "These guys are calling the shots in the nearby counties. You'd better be careful."
"Okay, we get it, we will avoid conflict with these people."
Afterwards, Yu Gang talked to Ye Ying about his recent visit.
Finally, I suggested going to her shop to take a look.
Ye Ying stepped aside to make way for him. "Please feel free to look around. They are just ordinary things."
Yu Gang went in and took a look around, and found that there were indeed some common things being sold there, which could be found almost everywhere.
Besides, her store's business is not the best in the county, so it is unlikely that someone would deliberately target her.
Perhaps, we can rule out the possibility that colleagues killed someone out of jealousy.
Ye Ying walked over and asked with a smile, "How is it, Comrade Yu Gang? Have you found anything?"
Yu Gang shook his head.
"Well, that's fine! Who knows, maybe this person can't be found." Ye Ying showed a regretful expression and pointed at the pile of plastic sandals in the corner, "It's a pity that the sandals I put outside at the time were all burned!"
"Sandals?" Yu Gang walked up to the sandals, took a look at them, and scanned the merchandise in the store. His reaction was exactly the same as Ji Lian's.
"Why would a store like yours sell sandals? It's weird."
So Ye Ying explained it to Yu Gang again.
"Are thousands of pairs of coins going to be given away as gifts?" Yu Gang frowned.
"Yeah, that's right! There are nearly 2,000 pairs left now!"
Ye Ying then joked, "I just went to Mr. Zhang's store at noon and asked him if he would consider buying my shoes at a low price!"
Yu Gang picked up a sandal and looked at it: "What did he say?"
After a moment of silence, Ye Ying replied, "He said he couldn't finish them! I thought 2,000 pairs wasn't much money, and the price I offered was definitely cheap, so he probably didn't want them!"
"If they don't want it, then I can only continue to use it for promotion and give it away slowly."
"Okay. I understand." Yu Gang nodded and put down the sandal in his hand. "That's all for today. You two should remember to close the shop early and go back!"
As soon as Yu walked through the door, he ran into Ji Lianqi.
"Captain Ji, are you here to pick up your wife again?" Yu Gang greeted Ji Lianqi with a smile.
Ji Lianqi nodded, first looked at Ye Ying who was talking to Sun Xi in the store, and called Yu Gang aside.
"Comrade Yu Gang, is there any follow-up to the fire yet?"
Speaking of this, Yu Gang looked a little depressed. "Not yet, but maybe there will be some progress soon."
He is under a lot of pressure.
The victim is Ji Lianqi's daughter-in-law. The first thing his boss does when he sees him every day is to investigate the progress, investigate the progress!
