"I'm an adult, not someone who's been intimidated!"
Wang Jianshe was stubborn, but he was uneasy inside; he didn't want to eat peanuts!
"Brother Qiang, I want to live. I don't want to eat peanuts, sob sob... My parents are still waiting for me to take care of them in their old age. Brother Qiang, we've become like this because of that woman. If we confess about her, will we stop eating peanuts?"
Niu Dazhi looked at Wang Jianshe with a long face, his eyes full of hope. Unexpectedly, Wang Jianshe said angrily, "Do you want me to break the rules?"
"What rules? Brother Qiang, I just want to live a good life, don't you want that too?"
We might end up eating peanuts, and at this point, what's with all this talk of stupid rules? Is Brother Qiang out of his mind?!
Wang Jianshe's lips twitched, but he ultimately remained silent.
Niu Dazhi was disappointed. At this moment, Xu Hui asked, "Do you know who specifically instructed you to commit the crime tonight?" His gaze fell on Niu Dazhi, who shook his head upon hearing this.
"She's very well covered up, but I'm sure she's a woman, and... and she'll be waiting for us at the agreed location tomorrow at noon."
What do you think?
After listening to what Niu Dazhi said, Xu Hui turned his gaze to Song Lan.
"Call the police station at daybreak and have them take the person away. As for what to do next, the police will definitely have a plan."
Song Lan's tone remained completely calm. After observing her quietly for a moment, Xu Hui nodded in agreement with Song Lan's words. Then, he asked, "From what they've said, someone is trying to get you. Do you have any suspects?"
Upon hearing this, Song Lan paused for a moment, then shook her head.
Although she had her suspicions, she decided to be cautious in her words and actions before confirming them. Besides, she didn't want her private affairs to become public knowledge.
It's not that I'm concerned about saving face; I simply don't want to attract attention.
-
Around 7:30 a.m., the town police station received an emergency call and dispatched officers as quickly as possible.
After Li Dahai and the other two were taken away, Song Lan reported what had happened the night before to Deputy Section Chief Fang, then went to the changing room to change into her regular clothes and go home.
"Nothing happened last night, right?"
Upon seeing Song Lan enter the courtyard, Qin Yanzheng immediately asked her a question.
"Waiting for me?"
Instead of answering immediately, Song Lanmei made a joke.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yanzheng smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'll wait for you to come home." His straightforward answer made Song Lan blush instantly.
【What's the point of waiting? I'm not directionally challenged!】
Qin Yanzheng overheard his inner grumbling, but aside from a smile, there was no other unusual expression on his handsome face.
"It's such a short distance, I won't get lost."
Clearing her throat, Song Lan stepped forward and sat down on the bamboo chair next to Qin Yanzheng. She asked, "Did my second brother and the others go to school?"
Qin Yanzheng hummed in agreement and said, "They should be sitting in the classroom by now."
"Has Comrade Wu not returned from taking the fifth and sixth children to kindergarten yet?"
Song Lan asked again.
"They just left a short while ago."
Qin Yanzheng responded, noticing that Song Lan seemed out of sorts, and said, "The rice is keeping warm in the pot."
Coming to her senses, Song Lan met the man's gentle gaze. "Have you eaten?"
Qin Yanzheng shook his head, his lips slightly parted: "Waiting for you."
"Then Comrade Wu..."
Knowing what Song Lan wanted to ask, Qin Yanzheng said, "It's used with my second brother and the others."
"Then wait here for a moment, I'll go get the food."
Song Lan got up and headed to the kitchen.
More than half an hour later, after the couple had breakfast, Song Lan tidied up the kitchen and came to the living room, where she heard Qin Yanzheng say, "Did you forget something?"
"ah?"
Song Lan was a little confused.
I don't know what "man" means.
"As soon as you stepped into the courtyard, I asked you if anything happened last night."
Seeing the confusion in Song Lan's eyes, Qin Yanzheng couldn't immediately tell if she was faking it, so he simply spoke his mind.
"We caught three petty thieves, and they were taken away by the police officers at the station before I got off work."
With a look of sudden realization, Song Lan responded softly.
Should I tell this guy that those three petty thieves were actually after me, and most likely acting on orders from the family of Deputy Factory Director Qian in Beijing? If I tell him this suspicion, will he get so anxious that it negatively impacts his health?
Upon hearing Song Lan's thoughts, Qin Yanzheng's aura instantly changed, but Song Lan, lost in thought, did not notice.
It's the Qian family again!
I wonder how the investigation is going with the boss? Looks like he'll have to make a call and ask later.
He tampered with the blueprints to climb the social ladder, but his father took the blame. He also has some connection with his wife's adoptive parents for some unknown reason. Now he's even spending money to hire people to harm his wife. How audacious!
With a furrowed brow, a hint of coldness flashed in Qin Yanzheng's eyes.
His wife is such a good girl, even her husband wouldn't dare to mistreat her, yet she's being secretly targeted by some scoundrels! Do they really think they can do whatever they want just because they have some power?
His thoughts raced, Qin Yanzheng's lips tightened, and his handsome face showed an unusually cold expression.
Those who commit many evil deeds will surely perish. Since you enjoy courting death, then go and join the Yuan family!
And then there's that couple next door. The woman is a shrew, unreasonable, and dares to bully his wife. The man does nothing. In the next couple of days, he'll definitely teach them a lesson.
"what's on your mind?"
Song Lan gathered her thoughts and noticed that Qin Yanzheng was lost in thought, so she couldn't help but ask him a question.
"You caught him?"
The familiar voice drifted into his ears, instantly pulling Qin Yanzheng back to his senses. He looked up and met Song Lan's gaze.
"Um."
Song Lan nodded.
Qin Yanzheng's dark eyes clearly held a probing look: "They only stole things, didn't they do anything else?"
"……No."
After a moment's hesitation, Song Lan shook her head.
"It's better not to tell him... Once I reveal that the three petty thieves appeared last night with the real purpose of causing me trouble, given his intelligence, he'll definitely dig deeper and ask questions."
In this way, the Qian family will undoubtedly be implicated, and then he will likely find out what my adoptive parents were planning, and why the Qian family hired someone to do that.
Song Lan smiled, her gaze fixed on the man's well-defined, fair and handsome face, looking at his smooth and delicate jawline, and she didn't open her eyes for a long time.
This person is really good-looking!
Qin Yanzheng's ears burned. Why did he suddenly start admiring his appearance?! However, he felt a strange sense of pleasure inside. Why was that?
"You..." Could you please look away?
He didn't say what happened next, but if his wife continued to watch him so closely, Qin Yanzheng worried that he would show obvious signs of something was wrong. So, he cleared his throat, looked towards the living room door, and called out to Wu Dong. Hearing his voice, Wu Dong finished hanging up the clothes he had washed and turned around to ask, "Comrade Qin, is there something you need?"
Qin Yanzheng: "Push me out for a walk."
"good."
