Chapter 49: Still a Dead Duck
"Report? What do you want to report?" Director Liu Lanqin felt that Xu Nuo's reaction was particularly strange.
When others got the comic book, they would read the contents inside, but she was the only one who would stand up and report it as soon as she got it.
"I made this picture album." Xu Nuo said.
Her words shocked everyone.
Zhang Juan and Chai Xiuli looked at each other, feeling very incredible and even a little incomprehensible.
"Xiao Xu, are you...are you okay?" Liu Lanqin's first reaction was also feeling a little puzzled.
She didn't understand why Xu Nuo could say such a thing, and even if he wanted to report it, he couldn't report it to her.
Everyone's expression was a little subtle, except for Liao Hong's, which seemed a little complicated - gloating, a little nervous, and even a little expectant.
Yes, she was a little scared, but she was more looking forward to it.
She was looking forward to seeing what Xu Nuo's next move would be, wanting to see what embarrassing thing she would do.
"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Director. I'm fine." Xu Nuo raised the album in his hand and repeated, "More than half a month ago, I painted an album and locked it in a drawer. After Liao Hong finished her shift, my album was lost. Today, this album appeared here. I suspect that Liao Hong stole my paintings and sold them to me."
Hearing this, Liao Hong slammed the table and stood up: "Xu Nuo, don't slander me! You have no basis, what right do you have to say that?"
Xu Nuo said calmly: "It is groundless now, but it will not be soon."
"What do you mean?" Liao Hong's heart skipped a beat.
"I just need to find the author of this book to restore the truth of the matter!" Xu Nuo said, and turned his eyes to Liu Lanqin, "Director Liu, do you know any news about Lin Xueyuan?"
Liu Lanqin shook her head. "How would I know that? I only know that this booklet is very popular in the family quarters of the hospital. Everyone agrees with the content of this booklet and thinks it is good."
"This booklet was first circulated in the family quarters of the military hospital, right?" Xu Nuo asked.
Liu Lanqin was not too sure either, and replied vaguely: "It seems so."
"Then I understand." Xu Nuo asked the right questions and had a rough idea in his mind.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you all. Remember to pass it down." Liu Lanqin gave a few instructions and left.
As soon as she left, Zhang Juan came over and said, "Xiao Xu, is what you said true?"
"Yes, it's true." Xu Nuo nodded seriously, "Sister Zhang, do you think I'm lying?"
Juan was stunned: "Xiao Xu really underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be so talented! You are amazing!"
"Thank you, Sister Zhang." Xu Nuo glanced at Liao Hong, "It's still not amazing enough. If it were really amazing, this thing wouldn't have been sold to someone else."
"Xu Nuo, please don't go too far. You're not going to stop framing me, are you?" Liao Hong said angrily. "I'm only not getting angry with you for the sake of Captain Lu, but I have a temper too! If I hear you say this again next time, I won't let you off."
Xu Nuo sneered twice: "A dead duck is still stubborn! Have you heard of this saying?"
"What?"
"Don't be so happy now, be careful of being on the wrong list in the future! Liao Hong, we are not done with this matter yet. I will settle accounts with you when the results come out."
After hearing this, Liao Hong opened her mouth and said, "Just let it go. Am I afraid of you?"
Although he still spoke tough, his momentum was obviously weakened.
On the way home from get off work, Xu Nuo went to the canteen to buy some food and went home. As soon as he reached the door of his house, he met Bai Qiu Ning.
Seeing her coming back with a lunch box and steamed buns, he smiled and asked, "Xiao Xu, did you go to the cafeteria to buy food? I don't usually see you cooking."
Xu Nuo nodded: "Well, my cooking skills are average."
"How much does it cost to eat in the cafeteria all the time?"
"Not bad." Xu Nuo answered simply, and then asked Bai Qiu Ning, "Sister-in-law, do you remember that one night when I went to look for Liao Hong, she was not at home and didn't come back until around 8 or 9 in the evening. Where did she go that day?"
Bai Qiuning thought for a moment and said, "She went to the street. I don't know what happened to her that day, she actually brought back a box of soda. I thought she picked up some money!"
"Did she go to see someone?"
"I don't know about that. What's the matter? What's the matter?"
"Nothing, just asking a few questions. Thank you, sister-in-law. I'm going back now. If you have nothing to do on weekdays, come and sit with me!"
"Okay, see you later."
Through the conversation just now, Xu Nuo was very sure that Liao Hong had definitely sold her album, and that she sold it to an individual rather than to a publishing house or something like that.
The woman named Lin Xueyuan is most likely someone who works in a military hospital. Otherwise, who would be interested in this?
But Xu Nuo was at a loss as to how to investigate Lin Xueyuan.
At this time, she thought of Lu Chen. He has been in the army for so many years. It shouldn't be difficult to ask him to find out about someone, right?
Xu Nuo set the table and sat at the dining table waiting for Lu Chen to come back.
Soon, the sound of the key turning in the door lock was heard, and Lu Chen came back from outside. As soon as he entered the door, he took off his military cap and hung it on the wall, then took off his coat, leaving only a white vest on his upper body.
"You're back. Wash your hands and have an meal." Xu Nuo stood up to greet him.
"Um."
A few minutes later, Lu Chen sat opposite Xu Nuo and picked up his chopsticks to eat. After taking two bites, he stopped and asked, "Wu Yue asked him if he could come over for dinner tomorrow?"
"Ah?" Xu Nuo was thinking about Lin Xueyuan. When he heard Lu Chen suddenly mention Wu Yue, he didn't react for a moment.
"Wu Yue said he wanted to come over for dinner tomorrow night and eat the spicy dish you cooked the other day." Lu Chen repeated.
"Malatang?"
It was the first time that Lu Chen heard such a new name: "The name of that dish is Malatang?"
"Yes! Wu Yue wants to eat that? Okay, sure. I'll buy some vegetables and make that tomorrow!" Xu Nuo agreed.
Lu Chen paused, then said, "That dish is delicious. I want to eat it too."
Hearing Lu Chen say that he wanted to eat too, Xu Nuo thought it was very interesting.
He seldom heard Lu Chen talk about his preferences, but today he actually said that the spicy hot pot was delicious, which was really rare.
"Okay, I'll do more tomorrow."
"Thank you," he said seriously.
"That's a bit too polite." Xu Nuo's lips curved up, "But if you really want to thank me, it's not impossible."
"Oh?" Lu Chen was intrigued by this sentence. He raised his eyes and met Xu Nuo's. "How do you want me to thank you?"
Xu Nuo cleared his throat and said seriously: "Lu Chen, I need you to help me check someone, is this convenient?"
"you say."
"Lin Xueyuan." Xu Nuo said, "Can you help me check Lin Xueyuan's personal information?"
Lu Chen seemed to remember something, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Why do you want to investigate her?"
