Chapter 99: Honey trap

Su Jieru immediately embarrassed Niu Baozhu, who was so angry that she cried out in pain in her stomach. Su Qiang felt sorry for Niu Baozhu and sent her to the hospital, which made Su's mother scold Su Jieru again.

"If you don't like that house, just refuse it directly. There's no need to make a scene with her."

Su Jieru was so angry that she wanted to die. Fortunately, Shen Xiangbei comforted her and helped her shoulder massage: "Jieru, it's all my fault. I knew she had bad intentions, and I shouldn't have agreed to come and look at houses. As a punishment, I must find you a big and beautiful house, okay?"

"This is none of your business. I'm just angry that she's so unscrupulous because she's pregnant."

Shen Xiangbei coaxed Su Jieru for a long time before she calmed down.

In the next few days, Shen Xiangbei was looking for a house outside.

In fact, although housing is tight, there are people who rent out their houses. It’s just that Shen Xiangbei found several and was not satisfied with any of them.

"Brother, are you looking for a house?" A dark and strong man took the initiative to talk to Shen Xiangbei.

"Who are you?" Shen Xiangbei looked at the person warily.

"My name is Dazhu, and I know where there's a house for rent." Dazhu smiled and introduced it: "Actually, it's my cousin's house. The location is very good, just over the third alley in the west of the city. Do you want to come with me to take a look?"

"Brother Dazhu, what kind of room is it? How much is the rent?"

"You should know all the houses in the third lane. They all have their own small courtyards. The prices are definitely more expensive. Let's talk about it after we have seen the houses."

Shen Xiangbei calmed down a little and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look."

Arriving at the third alley, Dazhu led him to a small courtyard and knocked on the door: "Second sister, I brought someone to see the house."

The door creaked open, revealing a woman's head. The woman was dark and not very pretty.

"Come in."

After Shen Xiangbei entered, he looked around the house. It was a three-bedroom house with a small yard. It looked pretty good, but he didn't know how much it would rent for.

"This yard is okay, but this is a three-bedroom apartment. I just want a two-bedroom one." Shen Xiangbei was planning to bargain for the price.

"Isn't this three-bedroom apartment better? Brother Xiangbei, I'm not bragging, I can guarantee that you will never find a better house than this one."

"So how much is this house per month?"

"Eight dollars a month. Look at this yard. The walls are newly painted, and the furniture in the house is not old."

"It's too expensive, too expensive. This house is eight dollars. It's too expensive."

After some bargaining, the price was set at six yuan a month.

"Brother Xiangbei, have some tea first. I'll go next door to borrow some paper and pen to write the lease contract."

"Okay." Actually, Shen Xiangbei felt a little strange. Since he was planning to rent a house, why didn't he even prepare paper and pen? Shen Xiangbei took a sip of tea and suddenly felt groggy.

When Shen Xiangbei woke up, he found that his shirt was gone, and there was a woman crying beside him with her clothes loose. There were many people pointing and talking around him, and the police were staring at him with gloomy faces.

"Brother Xiangbei, you are such a beast. I was away for just a short while and you did such a beastly thing to my second sister!" Dazhu was furious and punched Shen Xiangbei.

Shen Xiangbei, who was punched for no reason, realized that he was being set up.

"I am innocent, I am innocent!" Shen Xiangbei shouted, but no one believed what he said at this time.

Shen Xiangbei was eventually taken away by two police officers.

In the end, due to the testimony of neighbors and the victim Zheng Ermei, Shen Xiangbei was finally imprisoned.

It was the next day when Old Lady Ji received the news.

Su Jieru came to deliver the letter on her bicycle. Her eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had cried a lot.

"Mom, what do you think I should do? I believe Xiang Bei, he is not that kind of person. It is obvious that someone framed him, but those police officers insisted that it was Xiang Bei who did it. I heard that if this matter is not handled well, Xiang Bei will have to eat peanuts!"

Old Mrs. Ji was also panicking: "Who is targeting the fourth child? Don't panic, tell me the whole story."

Su Jieru recounted the incident in detail and cried, "Xiang Bei said that she was drugged, but she definitely didn't do anything like that. But he has been arrested now, what should we do?"

Shen Ruoqing, who was eavesdropping at the door, pushed the door open and said, "Since you were drugged, why don't you apply for a checkup? It's too late to get a checkup today."

Su Jieru wiped away her tears: "Why didn't you apply? But the police won't let us do it. This is a trap! Now Xiang Bei's affairs have spread to his unit. A letter of complaint has been sent to the chemical plant. The chemical plant said they want to fire Xiang Bei!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Old Lady Ji gritted her teeth and said, "How could the leaders of these factories believe rumors so easily? Who is the victim? Where is she? Have you had any contact with her?"

"That woman was ugly and dark, and she didn't seem like someone Xiangbei would do that. But he insisted that it was Xiangbei who had bad intentions towards her and acted like a beast, and he was even desperate enough to commit suicide!"

Shen Ruoqing frowned. What was the purpose of others setting up this scheme?

"Fourth sister-in-law, have you offended anyone recently?"

"Except for Niu Baozhu, I didn't offend anyone. It's all because of Niu Baozhu. If she hadn't forced my husband and I to move out, your fourth brother wouldn't have fallen into someone else's trap when he was looking for a house. But it shouldn't be her. After all, we are relatives, and there is no big hatred. She can't do it so ruthlessly. But Xiangbei and I have always been very friendly to others, and I really can't think of who we offended."

Old Mrs. Ji sighed. She had expected that the fourth son's family might move out, but she didn't expect Niu Baozhu to be so impatient.

"Fourth sister-in-law, don't worry. This matter has not been finalized yet. Let's go to the county town to see the situation first."

County Public Security Bureau.

"Mom, little sister, why are you here?" Shen Xiangbei looked much more haggard, with untidy beard and looked very embarrassed.

"We came to see you."

Shen Xiangbei's eyes dimmed, and he said, "It was all my fault this time, Mom. I made you worry."

Shen Ruoqing asked: "Fourth brother, are you sure you really didn't do anything?"

Shen Xiangbei became excited: "Little sister, are you doubting me? A real man dares to do and dares to take responsibility. If I say I haven't done something, then I haven't done it!"

"Fourth brother, don't get excited. Of course I believe you, but others don't believe you. Tell me more about the details of what happened at that time."

"I found it strange when Dazhu said he was going to get a pen and paper from next door. How could he not prepare pen and paper if he wanted to rent a house? And I felt dizzy after drinking a bowl of tea. I asked to go to the hospital for a check-up but they refused. The two police officers must have been bribed..."
