Su Jiaojiao checked the space but found nothing unusual.
He then left the space and saw that it was already late, and Fu Jingchen had not yet returned.
She already suspected that Liu Shi had ill intentions, and now she was also a little scared.
He hurried to Fu Yifei and Du Xiuyun's courtyard.
"Mom, isn't Dad back yet?" Su Jiaojiao asked, looking at her mother-in-law who was busy cooking. She went over to help her.
Fu Yifei hadn't returned by this time, but Du Xiuyun didn't seem to be in a hurry.
Because Du Xiuyun was already used to it.
“Yes, they often come back very late when they go on missions. The guard just said that your dad has a meeting at the military headquarters, so you don’t need to wait for him.” Du Xiuyun said while stirring the vegetables in the pan. “Jiaojiao, come in and sit down. You don’t need to come here.”
Du Xiuyun, who was used to her husband and son coming home late, didn't think much of it.
Su Jiaojiao couldn't sit still: "Mom, I'm afraid something might happen to Brother Jingchen. He left with that Liu Shi this afternoon."
"How could that be?" Du Xiuyun frowned subconsciously. "He left with her, so he wouldn't dare to do anything. We're in the military region."
Within the military region, it is indeed safe.
Su Jiaojiao, however, was very uneasy.
She had warned Fu Jingchen to be wary of Liu Shi.
Both men were equipped with guns, so if a conflict were to break out, it would come down to who was faster.
In fact, Su Jiaojiao also felt that it shouldn't be that bad.
They just occupied the courtyard where Liu Shi's family used to live. Why would they need to move the gun?
The logic was sound, but Su Jiaojiao just couldn't feel at ease.
It wasn't until 10 p.m. that Su Jiaojiao couldn't wait any longer and went directly to the Liu family.
Liu Shi's wife was home alone, and she remained quite calm.
She had also gotten used to her husband's late returns home.
"Comrade Su, don't worry, everything will be fine. They went to the power plant for an on-site inspection, so it's normal for them to be back a little late." Liu Shi's wife was not young, around forty-five or forty-six years old, and looked older than Liu Shi.
She certainly didn't seem to care at all.
"Are you with your mother-in-law? Isn't she here?" Su Jiaojiao asked again.
Du Xiuyun also looked at Liu Shi's wife, and she really didn't have a good impression of that old woman Liu.
Liu Shi's wife shook her head: "She probably took the child to town. It's alright, this area is always safe."
That's incredibly bold.
As they were talking, a young soldier ran over: "Sister Liu, Sister Liu, Brigade Commander Liu said he has some business in town and won't be back tonight."
"I understand," Liu Shi's wife replied casually.
She really has gotten used to it.
Su Jiaojiao stopped the young soldier and asked, "Where are Brigade Commander Liu and the others? Did they say what they were doing? Why didn't they come back today?"
The young soldier, however, knew nothing about the matter.
She blushed a little when she saw Su Jiaojiao.
Su Jiaojiao was speechless and helpless, so she could only let him leave first.
After seeing the young soldier off, Liu Shi's wife said to Du Xiuyun and Su Jiaojiao, "The message has been sent back, everything is fine."
But such news is practically no news at all.
"Mom, let's borrow a car and go check out the power station." Su Jiaojiao was not at ease with him at all. It wasn't that she didn't trust Fu Jingchen's abilities, but she was worried about Liu Shi.
Du Xiuyun wanted to say it was alright, but seeing how serious her daughter-in-law was, she didn't object.
The car belongs to Fu Yifei; they provided him with a car here.
Seeing how worried his daughter-in-law was, Fu Yifei and Du Xiuyun followed along.
People outside are still digging through the collapsed mine tunnel.
They had to hurry up and dig the mine tunnel, but they also had to be careful to avoid making the tunnel collapse even more serious.
Therefore, the progress of this work is very slow.
I stood among a pile of rocks for a while.
Gradually, Shi Chunxiao's cries for help could no longer be heard.
Fu Jingchen was still holding the jade pendant, going in and out intermittently.
