"Ahem, it's me. I was careless for a moment..."
Her question froze Lu Zhengxiang in place, and he was at a loss for what to answer.
Ruan Suhe didn't say anything. She just blinked her big eyes and stared at him quietly, waiting for his follow-up.
"That's right. Originally, they found out that she was related to this incident, so the police station went to the hospital and asked her to cooperate with the investigation."
"She was fine on the way, but when she was asked questions in the interrogation room, she suddenly denied everything and said it had nothing to do with her."
"Then, she started to make a scene and wanted to leave the interrogation room. The police didn't have any reliable evidence at the time, and since she wouldn't cooperate, they had no choice but to let her go."
"Who knew she could find you here and... even dream of committing a crime!"
As Lu Zhengxiang spoke, the coldness in his eyes grew stronger, as if he could freeze a person into an ice sculpture.
"Okay, it's okay. Aren't we all okay? She has been taken to the police station and won't be able to come out for a while."
...
...
"But... we still have to think of a way to make the chain of evidence for this whole matter complete."
Ruan Suhe felt that if he continued talking, he might get impulsive.
With her comfort, Lu Zhengxiang regained consciousness and rode his bicycle to take her back to the family compound.
It was almost afternoon now, and Lu Zhengxiang was still worried when he looked at her arm, so he told her not to act rashly.
He rode his bicycle and brought his large stainless steel lunch box to the canteen at the military headquarters to get his meals.
The two little ones also noticed that her arms were covered with bandages. Because Lu Zhengxiang bandaged them a little too exaggeratedly, the children thought she was seriously injured.
One by one, they began to bring her water, wash fruits, and keep an eye on her to prevent her from moving.
Ruan Suhe really had no choice but to sit on the bench obediently and enjoy the two little ones serving her water and fruits.
By the time Lu Zhengxiang came back with food, her stomach was almost bursting.
"Tiedan, Ruoruo, I can't eat anymore, let me take a break."
She saw that someone was coming back to rescue her, so she would not miss this good opportunity.
So, in the end, the family of three had their meals in the living room, while she walked around the yard with her bulging belly.
"How about you go back and eat some more?"
Lu Zhengxiang quickly finished his dinner and wanted to coax her to eat more.
"No, no, I can't hold on any longer. I need to take a walk."
Ruan Suhe righteously declined his invitation to dinner.
"Or you can put the leftovers in the pot to keep them warm. I'll find something to eat when I get hungry in the evening."
After sending the two little brats to practice writing, Ruan Suhe pulled him into the bedroom with a mysterious look on her face.
"Let me tell you, people like Zhou Aixue are actually very easy to trick."
"I guess she must have some hidden relationship with Hou Dewang. First, we can tell her that Hou Dewang confessed everything and said that she was the one who ordered it, and put all the responsibility on her."
"Second, we can trick her into taking all the money and see how she reacts."
"Third, and most importantly, put the signed confession in front of her. She doesn't need to say anything. Then, put the two of them together and all the facts should come out."
"This... is not very ethical... and the police may not cooperate."
Lu Zhengxiang was a very upright person and felt that this method was somewhat despicable.
"It's appropriate. Besides, this is just a provocation. The ultimate goal is just to make them tell the truth. Moreover, if the case is solved smoothly, the police station may also gain credit." Ruan Suhe advised.
Lu Zhengxiang thought for a moment and said, "I will discuss this matter with the comrades at the police station to see if there is any compromise."
He took a deep breath and suddenly held Ruan Suhe's hand, "Suhe, I am sorry for you... I think... I should go back to the old house..."
"I just realized that even if I am the leader now, I still have no effect... In Beijing, I still have a backer... It's better..."
It took him a lot of courage to say this, his eyes fixed on the wound on Ruan Suhe's arm, filled with a sense of loss.
"No matter what decision you make, I will support you."
"Also, I don't blame you for my injury. If you want to blame someone, blame Zhou Aixue. It has nothing to do with you."
It was the first time Ruan Suhe saw him so depressed and she couldn't bear it. She let him rest his head on her uninjured shoulder, patted him gently and explained.
Lu Zhengxiang hesitated for several seconds before hugging her back. He hated himself, hated himself for not being stronger, hated himself for not being able to protect his wife and children.
"Whenever you want to go back, I can go with you anytime. The two children can be temporarily left at Xiaoya's house for care."
Ruan Suhe knew him. He had always been a strong-willed person. His sudden change was probably because he was stimulated by the plot against his child and the fact that she almost got killed.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow we will go to the commander. We can't delay this matter any longer."
Lu Zhengxiang made a decision immediately. He was afraid that if he didn't go tomorrow, he would never be able to muster up the courage to return to his old house to trace his roots.
Ruan Suhe nodded, went to the guard post of the family compound, used the landline to call the cosmetics factory, and asked for a few hours off tomorrow morning.
The sky gradually darkened, as if a curtain had been drawn, and the lights in every household were turned off early.
As usual, it was Ruan Suhe's turn to speak today, but none of the other three agreed.
Lu Zhengxiang even picked her up again, stuffed her into the quilt, tucked in the edges, and let her lie down peacefully.
Then, he picked up the storybook and started telling the two little ones the story word by word.
Gradually, the sound of him telling this story became like a lullaby, lulling Ruan Suhe into sleep little by little.
When she woke up, Lu Zhengxiang had already brought back breakfast from the cafeteria, and the porridge was still steaming hot.
The family of four had a quiet meal, and then the two little ones were sent to Liu Xiaoya's home to help take care of them.
Lu Zhengxiang took her to the military headquarters on his bicycle.
When they arrived at the commander's office, the commander had just returned from a meeting. When he heard that Lu Zhengxiang wanted to return to the old house, a hint of excitement appeared on his face.
"Okay, okay, good boy, you finally want to go back."
The commander was very pleased with his decision and immediately asked his assistant to drive.
Several people got on a military jeep, and not long after, the car stopped in front of the gate of a square courtyard.
After getting off the car, the commander went to knock on the door. He knocked three times at first, paused for a moment, and then knocked rhythmically four times.
Ruan Suhe muttered to herself: They are indeed a wealthy family, they even have their own rules for knocking on the door.
"Squeak." The door opened.
"Second Master? Second Master is back!"
The butler behind the door exclaimed in surprise at first, and in joy at the second.
"Old Second is back? Come in quickly? How come you, a busy man, suddenly have time to come back to the old house to take a look?"
"Hey? There are outsiders? What is this? No! Impossible!"
