Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Double Standard Landlord
"What are you going to do?" Lu Fa's voice was trembling.
Ning Shaoming patted the landlord on the shoulder and explained expressionlessly: "Boss Lu, don't misunderstand me. I have no ill intentions. I just have something I want to tell you in private."
"Just tell me, we can discuss it." It's okay if you don't want to take action because you are pushed into a corner.
Lu Fa breathed a sigh of relief, but after secretly glancing at Ning Shaoming's tall and strong figure, he did not dare to completely relax his vigilance.
Ning Shaoming took out a box of CDs from the inner pocket of his luggage bag. There was a label on the box of the CD with a number on it: lxy001.
"This is something I found in Sun Hongguang's room. You happen to have a DVD player in your room. Put this in and turn it on to have a look. We'll talk after you finish watching it."
"Ah?" Lu Fa was confused by his actions and didn't understand why Ning Shaoming suddenly asked him to watch the DVD.
Could it be that she found out from somewhere that he liked to watch Hong Kong Category III movies and wanted to use the movies he had not seen to request a reduction in the compensation?
Lu Fa thought about it and decided that if it was really a good movie that he had not seen, the compensation could be reduced.
He took out the CD and put it into the DVD player to play.
This so-called study room was originally a place where Lu Fa used to watch movies without telling his family members. There were very few books in it and family members were usually not allowed to come in.
A picture quickly appeared on the display screen. It was a little dim and the angle was very hidden.
It was obviously a candid shot, and the place where it was filmed looks like a public toilet.
Lu Fa had never seen this kind of shooting method and angle before.
His interest was immediately piqued, and words and exciting images like adultery, secret photography, wild battles, and wild love kept popping up in his mind. His expression quickly changed from alertness to interest and slight excitement.
However, after a while, the person who appeared on the TV screen instantly cooled his excitement. Anger rose from his heart, and he pointed at the screen with shaking fingers: "This, this, this, you, you..."
There were no adulterous lovers on the screen, only a teenage girl.
No matter how dim the light was, Lu Fa could recognize the person inside. It was his granddaughter who had just entered the first year of high school.
When the video showed the little girl about to take off her pants to go to the toilet, Ning Shaoming walked over and turned off the DVD player.
Lu Fa asked angrily, "You just said that this thing was found in Sun Hongguang's room?"
Ning Shaoming nodded: "That's right."
Lu Fa asked again: "Have you seen what's inside before?"
Ning Shaoming shook his head: "No."
Lu Fa continued to ask with some suspicion: "Then how do you know who is in the photo?"
Sun Hongguang and Ning Shaoming are from the same hometown, and their wives used to have a very good relationship.
Lu Fa was a little suspicious that the two of them did this together.
Now Ning Shaoming's wife is being bullied by Sun Hongguang's wife. He is so angry that he wants to break up with Sun Hongguang, so he took out this thing and wanted to use his own hands to deal with Sun Hongguang.
It was true that Ning Shaoming wanted to use him to deal with Sun Hongguang, but the rest was just Lu Fa thinking too much.
He pointed to the number on the CD case: "You can look at the letters on the CD case."
Lu Fa took a look and didn't understand: "I haven't even graduated from elementary school, how can I understand the English language!"
"That's not English, that's the first letter of the Chinese pinyin."
Seeing that Lu Fa really didn't understand, Ning Shaoming had to pick up the paper and pen he had just prepared to write the IOU, and wrote the complete pinyin on the desk: lu xin yi, and then wrote the corresponding word below the pinyin: Lu Xinyi.
"You should know that my wife and Sun Hongguang's wife were close. She saw it by accident and then realized something was wrong."
Ning Shaoming pointed at the words on the paper and said, "Is this your granddaughter's name? My wife said that when she met your granddaughter recently, she felt that she looked different than before, as if she was afraid of something. When she saw Sun Hongguang, she was like a frightened little rabbit. She used to be a very generous girl and never acted like this."
In fact, Ning Shaoming also saw a CD numbered lxy002 in the place where Sun Hongguang hid the CDs.
But he didn't take it, so he didn't know whether Lu Fa's granddaughter had been forced to do anything by Sun Hongguang.
After all, his real purpose was to use Lu Fa to deal with Gao Guangqiang, not to pry into other people's privacy.
Lu Fa's family lived in a newly built house near the rental house, and they often ran into members of the Lu family. The less he knew about them, at least he wouldn't feel too embarrassed when he ran into members of the Lu family on the road in the future, which would also be good for the victim.
Of the two CDs Ning Shaoming took, the other one contained the information of another victim that had nothing to do with the Lu family.
Their plan was that if Lu Fa didn't care about this matter, he would try another one.
But compared to Lu Fa, the landlord who lived very nearby, they didn't have much interaction with that family, and it seemed too abrupt to suddenly go over and talk about such things.
Ning Shaoming had heard his landlord mention that family with envy before. He said that the old lady in that family was only a few years older than him. She knew how to raise children, but all the children she raised became successful and now work in the system, holding two high-ranking positions.
Ning Shaoming currently looks at Lu Fa's behavior. His concern and worry about his granddaughter's situation do not seem fake, and he does not seem to be indifferent to such things. So there is no need to go to the other family.
Even though Lu Fa may not seem as rich as Gao Guangqiang, he would not necessarily lose if they really fought each other.
Locals have complicated local connections, so maybe they have a powerful relative.
However, Ning Shaoming was careful and did not give the other box of CDs to Lu Fa.
If Lu Fa is really concerned about this matter, the police should come to question him soon. When the police come to find him, it would be safer for him to directly hand over the other CD to the police.
After all, Lu Fa's habit of watching X-rated films was something he thought he had hidden well, but in fact, it had long been an unspoken secret among the tenants. Everyone knew that he was a pervert with the intention of stealing but not the courage to do so.
The people photographed in the other CD are not Lu Fa’s own family. Who knows how he will deal with it?
Lu Fa had learned Chinese Pinyin before, but he didn't take it seriously and didn't learn it well. However, he could understand some of the simple Pinyin written by others.
Lu Fa looked at the words and silently repeated them several times, his face looked very ugly: "This is really..."
No wonder he always felt that something was wrong with his granddaughter recently.
While I was having dinner, I heard from my son and daughter-in-law that the teacher also called and said that the child’s academic performance was not good, and that his grades would drop if he continued like this. Could it be that he was threatened by someone?
Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat again, and was very worried that his granddaughter was really forced to do something she shouldn't do.
Men are often quite hypocritical about this kind of thing. Just because he enjoys watching a movie himself doesn't mean he's happy to see his family members appear in the movie.
Although the reason Ning Shaoming gave was not enough to make Lu Fa completely believe him, the facts were before his eyes. The person in the CD was indeed his granddaughter. Seeing was believing, which was more useful than saying anything.
Lu Fa was not stupid. For the sake of his granddaughter's reputation, he knew that he had to first calm Ning Shaoming and his wife down and stop them from talking nonsense.
Once the police catch Sun Hongguang and put him on trial, we will know whether Ning Shaoming was involved.
If Ning Shaoming was not involved, everyone would be happy. At most, he could give Ning Shaoming some more money as hush money.
If Ning Shaoming is found to be involved, he will not let him go!
Lu Fa thought for a moment and said, "My niece works at the police station. I will let her handle this matter. You don't have to pay for the things that were damaged in Sun Hongguang's room. This is just a small token of my gratitude to you. After the matter is resolved, I will bring my family to visit you formally to thank you. What do you think?"
Ning Shaoming didn't care about any thanks, as long as he could use Lu Fa's connections to deal with Gao Guangqiang, "I appreciate Boss Lu's gratitude, but there's no need to bother. It's getting late, and I still have to take care of my wife, so I'll leave first."
As for the compensation for smashing Sun Hongguang's room, he would not be the first to pay it. It should be Sun Hongguang and his wife who should pay it!
Lu Fa was also anxious to find his niece for help. Hearing this, he quickly said, "Okay, okay, you go to the hospital to take care of your wife first. If you need any help, just call me. I will do my best to help wherever I can!"
More than an hour later, Ning Shaoming was already in the hospital taking care of Zhao Ruyue. Sun Hongguang then heard the news that Ning Shaoming had gone to his rental house to smash things and hurried back to his rental house.
When I was about to get home, I met a few fellow villagers on the way.
When the fellow villager saw him, he stopped him and asked, "What immoral thing did you do to offend Ning Lao San?"
While asking, I was also muttering in my heart: This guy, his wife got into trouble and he hid for a long time without being seen. How long has it been since his house was smashed? You came back quickly.
"What do you mean I did something immoral?" Sun Hongguang was very unhappy when he heard this. Why did he have to do something immoral?
Although he had known that there was something fishy going on between Lu Qiuying and Gao Guangqiang, and that he was helping Gao Guangqiang do something dishonorable and immoral today, he had no involvement in this matter at all. Could this be blamed on him?
"Oh, it's just a joke, don't take it so seriously!" The fellow villager actually didn't quite understand what was going on.
It’s just that Ning Shaoming is a more honest person in normal times, and his fellow villagers have a good impression of him, so they have some preconceived ideas and think that Sun Hongguang has done something bad and has made these honest people angry.
Seeing that Sun Hongguang was really angry, the fellow villager had to laugh it off, then changed the subject and asked gossipingly: "Aren't you taking a day off today? I saw you always watching TV at home on your day off before, but you went out so early today. Where did you go to play? You didn't even bring your wife with you."
"A few days ago you told us that we would take a day off today, rent a DVD and go to your house to watch a movie. That's why we all changed our day off to today, but we couldn't even find you. With such a big incident at your house, someone would have contacted you on the pager a long time ago. Why did you come back at this time?"
Sun Hongguang was a little annoyed and subconsciously wanted to say, "It's none of your business," but then he remembered that he had something to ask others, so he endured it.
He perfunctorily said the excuse he had prepared long ago: "I was just walking around to see if there was any place suitable for fishing. I was thinking of renting a DVD and watching it with you guys when I came back. My wife doesn't like me going fishing, so I didn't bring her. I wasn't paying attention when I was walking around, so I walked a little far, and it will take time to come back."
The fellow villager curled his lips when he heard this. With such a long time, he could have made it back in time even if he went to Guangzhou.
After Sun Hongguang finished speaking, he finally found an opportunity to ask the question he wanted to ask the most: "I heard that Ning Laosan went to my house and smashed things. He didn't take anything secretly, did he?"
The fellow thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, do you know his character? He is not someone who would do things secretly. He went in empty-handed and came out empty-handed."
Sun Hongguang asked: "You didn't hide it in your pocket or in your clothes?"
The fellow villager continued to shake his head: "He didn't even have time to change out of his hotel work clothes. He rushed back in a chef's uniform. There are no pockets on that uniform, and the pockets on his pants are shallow, so you can tell what's in it at a glance."
Ning Lao San was still at work today, but he was able to come back so quickly, packed his things, and ran to the hospital to take care of his wife.
On the other hand, no one knew what Sun Hongguang was thinking. He and his wife had stuffed a lot of delicious food that Ning Laosan brought back from the hotel, but now he was thinking about him like this.
Besides, if Sun Hongguang’s wife hadn’t done something dishonest, would people be so angry that they would run to his house and smash things?
Sun Hongguang was half-believing and half-doubting: "Really? You didn't see it wrong or remember it wrong, did you?"
The fellow villager was speechless: "What good would it be for me to lie to you?"
Sun Hongguang waved his hands in embarrassment, "No, no, that's not what I meant. Don't take it to heart. I just left some cash at home and was a little worried, so I asked casually. I definitely believe that he is not that kind of person. I just asked one more question in vain. Now that I asked, you feel relieved."
He was anxious to go home, so he chatted with his fellow villager halfheartedly, then said goodbye in a hurry and rushed to his rented house.
When I returned to the rental house, I saw that the whole house was in a mess and the DVD player that I had just bought was smashed.
Sun Hongguang was heartbroken, but he didn't bother to pack up and hurried to where he had hidden his things.
