Jiang Ning got on the motorcycle, grabbed Lin Chen's clothes, and pressed her face against his back.
After Lin Chen saw that she was settled, he stepped on the gas and sped away.
Xu Yan's face turned as red as a ripe apple as she smiled brightly at Yu Xiao, "Director Yu, then I'll trouble you."
Yu Xiao arrived by bicycle. Seeing that she was somewhat drunk, he straddled the bicycle, put his long legs on the ground, and only started riding slowly after she was seated.
Xu Yan didn't stand on ceremony and immediately wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing her face against his broad back.
Yu Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and she frowned, but ultimately did not let him let go.
He'd had quite a bit to drink, and he was wobbling a bit while riding his bike; it wouldn't be good if he threw her off.
Xu Yan's home is not far away, just a few intersections away.
When they got off the bus, Xu Yan stumbled and almost fell, but he caught her.
"I can't walk anymore, please help me back," Xu Yan pleaded, leaning against his chest and looking up at him.
She had short, ear-length hair and a round face, and she even looked a bit like my deceased wife.
He became dazed and, as if possessed, helped her up and actually took her home.
Xu Yan lived in a tenement building.
After passing through the messy and crowded hallway, I opened the door and entered a single room with only a bed and a desk.
After entering the room, Xu Yan pressed Yu Xiao against the door, stood on tiptoe, climbed up his neck, and kissed his thin lips.
Perhaps because it was her first kiss, she could only rub her lips back and forth on his, without any skill whatsoever.
But for Yu Xiao, who hadn't been intimate with a woman for many years, this kiss was enough to make his whole body go numb.
After a brief period of resistance, he simply closed his eyes and enjoyed Xu Yan's fierce attack.
Finally, the two rolled onto the bed.
As night fell, Lin Chen slowed down his motorcycle under the dim streetlights.
Suddenly, I felt that it felt really good to have my wife holding me like this.
"Wife, who was that woman just now?"
He suddenly asked.
Jiang Ning was slightly taken aback: "It's Sister Xu, the one I told you about, my boss."
"That's that unmarried woman in her thirties!"
"Don't put it so harshly. Living in your house without getting married is their freedom. If they meet a man as good as you, why would they need to get married?"
Lin Chen: "......"
It sounded like she was praising him!
"Honey, I think Yu Xiao and Sister Xu seem quite well-matched. I'll try to persuade Sister Xu another day. Even though Yu Xiao has been married before and has children, it's not like she can't consider him..."
He tried his best to persuade him.
He is very selfish.
If Yu Xiao can be won over by Xu Yan, it will eliminate one potential threat.
Jiang Ning said lazily, "Okay, I'll ask her directly then."
As they talked, the two returned to the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the car stopped, two police officers came out of the room.
A police officer with a square face held up his badge and said solemnly:
"Comrade Jiang Ning? We have evidence against you regarding arson. Please come with us to the police station to cooperate with the investigation."
Lin Chen rushed in front of Jiang Ning and shielded her with his arms.
"Is your evidence reliable? My wife was with me at the time, how could she possibly have started a fire?"
Wang Xiufen also ran out, her eyes red with anxiety.
"Officer, you must investigate this thoroughly. My daughter-in-law would never do such a thing."
The police officer frowned: "Don't worry, taking her back is just to assist in the investigation. We handle cases based on evidence."
Jiang Ning was afraid that if they kept making noise, the two children would wake up, so she quickly comforted Wang Xiufen, saying:
"Mom, it's okay. The innocent will clear themselves. I haven't done anything, so what's there to be afraid of? I'll trouble you to pick up and drop off the two kids from school tomorrow."
Wang Xiufen wiped away her tears: "Don't worry about things at home. Ah Chen, go with Ningning to the police station and stay with her."
Lin Chen nodded, "Mom, I understand. Be careful."
The two got into a police car.
To avoid disturbing the public, their police cars did not sound their sirens.
Upon arriving at the police station, Jiang Ning was taken to the interrogation room, while Lin Chen waited outside.
The police station was brightly lit, and the officers on duty were still working hard.
Even though he knew Jiang Ning was definitely innocent, Lin Chen's face was still full of worry.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He told the police and went to the zoo wholesale market.
When he shook Gao Baoliang awake from his sleep, he sat up with a start.
"Brother Chen, you're not that scary."
He didn't even use a flashlight; did he come here in the dark?
"Stop talking nonsense, get up and get ready to come home with me."
Lin Chen didn't say much, and took out a flashlight from the drawer of the simple cashier's table.
Gao Baoliang was already dressed and walked straight out.
"Brother Chen, what happened?"
Once on the motorcycle, Gao Baoliang finally couldn't help but ask.
Lin Chen rode his bicycle home.
“Your sister-in-law has been taken away by the police. I suspect someone is behind this. The shop is closed for now. Stay home for two days.”
"Is this serious? How could this happen? Closing the shop means losing a lot of money!"
Gao Baoliang is straightforward and says what he thinks.
Lin Chen scolded him: "Is people more important or money? Things happened so suddenly, it's better to be cautious."
Over the years, he and Jiang Ning have been through so much together, and he has long since developed the habit of planning ahead.
Seeing that he was angry, Gao Baoliang immediately expressed his opinion:
"Brother Chen, don't worry, I will definitely protect Aunt and the children."
After taking Gao Baoliang home, he rushed to the police station.
The police officer told him that Jiang Ning couldn't be released for a while because she had admitted that the key evidence belonged to her, and that he would have to take her to the hospital tomorrow so that the injured staff could identify her.
Also, the people on duty that day saw her from behind, which needs to be verified.
Jiang Ning was sleeping in the isolation room, while Lin Chen was dozing off on a chair in the police station lobby.
The next day, when the police took Jiang Ning out, he followed behind on his motorcycle.
After two hours of commotion, Jiang Ning returned and continued to be interrogated.
Lin Chen was so angry that he went to a wonton stall next to the police station to drink.
"Comrade, you're just drinking without eating anything. You'll ruin your stomach."
The boss saw that he hadn't eaten a single wonton and tried to persuade him to eat.
Lin Chen coldly said, "Your wife is suffering, let's see if you can still eat."
Xu Jie, who was sitting next to him, was also drinking a bottle of beer.
There were already four or five empty bottles on his table.
"Brother, are you also troubled by your wife situation?"
As if he had met a kindred spirit, he swayed over to Lin Chen, carrying a wine bottle, and then pulled up a chair to sit down.
Lin Chen glanced at him.
"What, your wife's in the police station too?"
This man was dressed smartly, but his face was flushed and his eyes were glazed over; he must have encountered something serious.
Xu Jie's heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his eyes.
No, not at all.
Let me ask you a question: If you knew a friend had broken the law, would you be willing to betray a family member and expose them?
