When Wu Xiaojun heard Wu Shanshan's greeting, he felt a headache coming on. He knew that if he had a deep conversation with Wu Shanshan, it would definitely involve legal issues. If he ignored her, it would seem unfair to her, after all, she was his own sister.
Looking conflicted, Wu Xiaojun approached Wu Shanshan and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Wu Shanshan walked out of the ticket booth, pulled Wu Xiaojun aside, found a quiet place, and said, "Xiaojun, tell your sister, how's Zhuang Zhennan's case going?"
Wu Xiaojun said somewhat reluctantly, "Why are you asking this, sis?"
At this moment, Wu Shanshan seemed to stop pretending and said directly, "If you treat me as your older sister, then tell me. If you want to send me to prison, then don't say anything. Let me wait for the police to arrest me, and I won't say a word."
"sister!"
At this moment, Wu Xiaojun was in a very difficult position. If he told the truth, he was afraid that he would violate the police regulations. If he didn't tell, he was afraid that his sister would threaten suicide in front of him, and he was afraid that he would really not be able to handle it.
"Xiaojun, are you trying to watch me die? I'm your own sister, we have the same mother. Even though our mother left us early, I've never mistreated you, Xiaojun!"
Wu Xiaojun watched as Wu Shanshan's tears flowed down her cheeks. She was pressuring him. If he didn't speak up, Wu Shanshan would probably beg him even more desperately, and then he really wouldn't be able to control himself!
Sure enough, Wu Shanshan looked at the unmoved Wu Xiaojun and said, "Fine, if you want my sister to die, I'll stand in the middle of the road right now and let a car hit me, so you can see a scene of two lives lost!"
When Wu Xiaojun saw Wu Shanshan say such things, he was afraid that she would actually do it, so he quickly reached out to pull Wu Shanshan away and said, "No, sister, you can't do this, otherwise I won't be able to face my deceased mother!"
"You won't help me when I ask you for a favor. What's the point of having a sibling relationship? I might as well just end it all and stop living!"
As she spoke, she tried to break free from Wu Xiaojun and walk towards the road!
Wu Xiaojun dared not let go, pulling Wu Shanshan along as he said, "I'll talk, I'll talk, okay? My sister!"
Wu Shanshan then stopped struggling, looked at Wu Xiaojun, and said, "Then you tell me!"
At this moment, Wu Xiaojun looked at Wu Shanshan in surprise. This was the first time he had ever seen a person change their mood so easily. Wu Shanshan, who had just been threatening to kill herself, was now acting as if nothing had happened, staring at Wu Xiaojun expectantly, waiting for him to speak.
Wu Xiaojun frowned and said, "Sis, how come your expression changes faster than turning the pages of a book?"
Seeing that Wu Xiaojun was about to change his mind, Wu Shanshan quickly said, "What? Are you going back on your word?"
"No! Whether I tell you or not, it's all the same. There are no secrets that can't be kept quiet!"
"Okay! Then tell me!"
"Our police officers have already gone to Myanmar and found out that Liu Wu was captured by a border organization and is being held in a water dungeon. He is on the verge of death and will not survive even if he is brought back!"
"Really? That's great!"
"That's so, so good!"
When Wu Xiaojun looked at Wu Shanshan again, he saw a smile on his face, a smile as if he had heard good news.
Wu Xiaojun said, "Does Liu Wu's death mean there's no one left to prove my brother-in-law did anything wrong?"
Wu Shanshan's face darkened, and she said, "Who said your brother-in-law did anything wrong? They're just framing an innocent person. Don't listen to their nonsense. Come on, let's go home and have dinner!"
"I,,!"
Just as Wu Xiaojun was about to decline Wu Shanshan's offer, Jiang Xiaoyue appeared at the alley entrance. As soon as she saw Wu Xiaojun talking to Wu Shanshan, she greeted them, "Xiaojun, your parents are getting impatient waiting for you to eat. Hurry up!"
"Yes, I'm coming right away!"
Wu Xiaojun responded to Jiang Xiaoyue, then turned to Wu Shanshan and said, "I'm going home first, sis!"
"Go ahead! I'll treat you to dinner another day!"
"Um!"
Wu Xiaojun agreed and ran to the other side, asking Jiang Xiaoyue, "What are you making? I'm getting impatient waiting for you!"
Jiang Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Of course, it's your favorite dish!"
The two walked into the alley as they talked.
Then Xiang Pengfei gave the freshly cooked fish to Huang Ling and her husband, and left some crabs and lobsters for them. He then took the rest to Zhuang Tunan's ward.
Zhuang Tunan looked at the large crabs that Xiang Pengfei had brought and said, "Pengfei, what's this? Have you struck it rich? Buying such good crabs must have cost you a lot of money, right?"
Xiang Pengfei was at a loss for words, but he could only put on a brave face and say, "Weren't you recovering from your injury? I've only been back for one day, so I have to do something to show my appreciation. If it's good, I'll buy it for you next time. If it's not good, I won't buy it!"
Anna stared at the crabs as if they were monsters, frowning and unsure how to proceed.
Xiang Pengfei asked, somewhat puzzled, "What? Don't you eat crabs where you're from?"
"Although such things are rampant in our area, we basically don't eat them for fear of infectious diseases, so it's still rare to see them being eaten!"
Xiang Pengfei demonstrated by picking up a crab, breaking it in half with his hand, and then said with a smile, "Both the crab roe and crab meat inside are edible, but the crab roe has a grainy texture. It's not only delicious, but it also leaves you wanting more!"
Xiang Pengfei handed the broken-up crab to Zhuang Tunan and said, "Eat up, Brother Tunan!"
"Have some too! There's still so much left!"
"I ate at the restaurant, this is the leftovers!"
"Really? Who treated you to dinner?"
"Zhao Hujiang!"
"Oh, no wonder you're so extravagant, so someone's treating you!"
"Unfortunately, I ended up paying for it all!"
"Really? What happened?"
"He had to leave halfway through the journey, so he asked his son Zhao Hai to pay for it. But Zhao Hai also left halfway through the journey, so I had to pay for it myself!"
"I knew it! As the deputy factory director, how could Zhao Hujiang possibly pay for your meal? You're overthinking it!"
"Not necessarily. Everyone has their share of troubles. Besides, Zhao Hai said his sister was causing a lot of trouble, so Zhao Hujiang had no choice but to leave!"
"You! You're always thinking of others, but when will you ever think of yourself?"
"Maybe this is fate!"
After Xiang Pengfei finished speaking, he said to Anna, "Sister-in-law, do you want me to break one off for you to try? I guarantee that once you've had it, you'll want to eat it again and again!"
Anna said shyly, "No need, I'll do it myself!"
Anna reached out to take it, but Xiang Pengfei quickly said, "Sister-in-law, let's break it through the plastic bag! It'll be cleaner that way, so you don't get your hands dirty!"
Anna was really obedient. She took two plastic bags from the table, put them on her hands, and then picked up the crab. It took her a lot of effort to break it open, and then she looked at the crab roe inside but didn't dare to take a bite.
Xiang Pengfei smiled and said to Anna, "Eat up! It's alright, this is delicious seafood, good stuff!"
Anna then cautiously licked the crab roe with her tongue, found it tasted good, and then ate it with her mouth. Unexpectedly, she found it more and more delicious and couldn't stop eating it!
At this moment, Zhao Hujiang, who was standing at the door of the ward, glanced inside. When he saw Xiang Pengfei, he said happily, "Hey, Brother Pengfei, you're here!"
Xiang Pengfei turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Hujiang. He quickly said, "Oh, Uncle Zhao! Is there something you need?"
Zhao Hujiang nodded and said, "I need to talk to you about something. Is it convenient for you?"
"Okay, I'll be right there!"
After Xiang Pengfei finished speaking, he said to Zhuang Tunan, "Brother Tunan, I'll go out for a bit!"
"Okay, go ahead!"
Xiang Pengfei then got up, walked out of the ward, and followed Zhao Hujiang.
It was pitch black outside by then, and if the hospital hadn't been brightly lit, the two of them wouldn't have been able to see each other at all.
Finally, Zhao Hujiang led Xiang Pengfei around two bends, away from the inpatient area, before looking around and asking Xiang Pengfei, "Brother Pengfei, how much do you know about Zhou Chengzhi?"
"Him? What happened to him?"
