Zhou Luancheng looked at Mrs. Pei who was shouting at the top of her lungs. After she finished shouting, he said, "If you are not satisfied with anything, you can make a request to the higher-level department."
After saying that, he left without looking back!
Mrs. Pei sat on the ground limply, as if her bones and muscles had been pulled out, staring at the tattered wreath in front of her with empty eyes.
She just didn't know why all the good days had come to this.
Also, why did Zhou Luancheng ask about her work? Did he discover something?
Thinking of her work at the glass factory, Mrs. Pei sat up suddenly, hurried back to the house, searched for a while, and then hurried out again.
In the afternoon, Zhou Luancheng received news that Mrs. Pei had sent a telegram to the southern countryside, saying that the weather had changed and whether the crops were ready to be harvested.
The telegram had been intercepted without Mrs. Pei's knowledge.
Zhou Luancheng held the telegram. Although it only had a dozen words, it was obvious that there was a code word hidden in it.
It seems that he is going to Zhulin Town.
I handed Mr. Pei's case over to the deputy captain and applied for a business trip from my leader.
By the evening, the business trip application was approved.
Zhou Luancheng went back and prepared to tell his family so as not to make them worry.
When they got home, Sheng Anning and the others were there, sitting at the dining table teaching Pei Nuo how to make dumplings.
Pei Nuo's fingers are not that flexible, and when he puts things to his mouth, he is sometimes not very precise. His ten fingers are clumsy and cute, like a baby learning fine movements.
Zhong Wenqing patiently taught Pei Nuo how to make dumplings. He held her hand and taught her how to press the dumpling skin.
Sheng Cheng'an watched from the side with his chin propped up, and occasionally went over to help support Pei Nuo's wrist.
Sheng An Ning sat opposite her holding An An. The little girl held a ball of dough in her hand and kept patting it on the table. She also wanted to learn how to make dumplings.
The scene was heartwarming, but it made Zhou Luancheng stunned for a moment. He didn't see that Pei Nuo had recovered, so he was quite surprised to see that Pei Nuo could actually interact with them and make dumplings.
"Sister-in-law said Pei Nuo has improved a lot. I was wondering what it meant to have improved a lot. I didn't expect that he had improved so much."
Zhong Wenqing carefully grasped Pei Nuo's hand and smiled: "That's right, Xiao Nuo is very smart, you see, we already know how to press the dumpling skin like this."
Pei Nuo pursed her lips and turned to look at Sheng Chengan, like a child who wanted to be praised.
Sheng Chengan smiled and said, "Xiao Nuo is the best. He learned it after a while. He is much better than An An."
Pei Nuo lowered his head with satisfaction and continued to happily learn how to press the dumpling skins.
Zhou Luancheng picked up Zhou Zhou who was rushing over, looked at Pei Nuo quietly for a while, and then told everyone that he was going to Zhulin Town.
Sheng Anning was surprised: "Did you find anything? When are you going?"
"I'll go tomorrow and come back in a week. Mrs. Pei used to be a quality inspector at a glass bottle factory, so I think she's familiar with glass bottles and jars."
Sheng An Ning didn't realize how these were related for a moment: "It's good to go and take a look. You can clearly understand what kind of life the Pei family lived when they were young."
Sheng Chengan was silent for a while: "I'll go with you, I want to see it too."
He wanted to find some clues that might be related to Zhu Zhu.
Zhou Luancheng didn't mind bringing Sheng Chengan along.
"If you have nothing else to do here, we can go together and come back in a week."
Sheng Chengan thought it was okay: "Okay, I have plenty of time this time."
When Sheng An Ning heard that her brother was going too, she felt a little worried. But then she thought about Sheng Chengan's purpose and held back, not saying anything.
Sheng Chengan wanted to go out, and Pei Nuo naturally refused to let him go.
When she woke up in the morning and saw Sheng Chengan carrying a suitcase and preparing to go out with Zhou Luancheng, she grabbed Sheng Chengan's clothes tightly and refused to let go no matter what he said.
Sheng Chengan coaxed patiently: "I'll be back soon, can you wait for me at home?"
Pei Nuo nodded, then felt something was wrong and shook her head vigorously, still holding Sheng Chengan stubbornly.
Finally, Sheng Chengan could only ask Zhou Luancheng for help: "How about taking her with you? Don't worry, I'll take care of her on the way and I won't let her cause any trouble."
Knowing that Zhou Luancheng was going there to handle official business, taking Pei Nuo with him would somewhat delay the time.
Zhou Luancheng just thought about it for a moment and nodded: "It's okay, take it with you. After all, this matter is related to her. Maybe we can find something after we go there."
He hurriedly packed some clean clothes for Pei Nuo and went out.
Zhou Luancheng did not buy the train tickets in advance. He just went to the station and with his work permit and letter of introduction, they would be arranged to go to a special carriage.
Because he was bringing Pei Nuo with him, Zhou Luancheng arranged a sleeper carriage with two lower berths and one middle berth.
Along the way, Pei Nuo was well-behaved. She ate what Sheng Chengan gave her, drank water when she asked her to, and lay in front of the car window to look at the scenery outside when she had nothing to do.
There was also a flight attendant who took her to the toilet.
Sheng Cheng'an could then chat with Zhou Luancheng without worry. They started by talking about local customs and culture, and gradually the topic shifted to Mr. Pei and Pei Nuo.
Sheng Chengan was very curious: "Have you ever suspected the murderer of Mr. Pei?"
Zhou Luancheng answered simply: "Before there is solid evidence in the case, anyone can be the murderer, so we still have to wait for evidence."
Sheng Chengan complained a little in his heart, isn't this all nonsense?
Then he looked at Pei Nuo who was leaning against the window and looking outside. "What on earth did you find that made you insist on going to the south? I heard that Mrs. Pei's parents are quite old. They can't do anything."
Zhou Luancheng smiled and said, "You'll know when you get there."
Sheng Chengan saw that he couldn't get any information out of him. Unlike his taciturn brother-in-law, when he asked Zhou Shixun something, he would just remain silent and ignore him if he didn't want to say it.
As for Zhou Luancheng, he smiled and gave you some ambiguous answers that were not answers, and he prevented you from asking further questions.
I chuckled in my heart. These two brothers are actually the same. They keep their mouths shut.
Those who are trained are different.
Take a two-day and one-night train to a small town in the south, and then take a bus to Zhulin Town.
The bus was old and there were few good seats on it. Sheng Chengan noticed that Pei Nuo was tense after getting on the bus.
He pursed his lips with a serious expression and stared out the window.
Outside the window, there are many bamboo forests, layer upon layer, stretching into the distant mountains.
The road runs through the bamboo forest.
Sheng Chengan saw Pei Nuo was obviously nervous, so he reached out and held her hand: "Don't be afraid, we are all here, no matter what happens, we will protect you."
Zhou Luancheng also discovered that something was wrong with Pei Nuo, which further confirmed Sheng Anning's guess.
When they arrived at Zhulin Town and stepped on the bluestone slabs, Pei Nuo suddenly stopped, grabbed Sheng Chengan's hand tightly, and pulled him back, refusing to take another step forward.
Before Sheng Chengan could comfort her, he heard an old voice coming from the dark doorway: "Xiao Nuo, is Xiao Nuo back?"
