Chapter 585 I'm wrong, don't hit me

Platoon Leader Xu glanced at his daughter who was hiding in the corner and dared not speak. He asked calmly, "Tell me, why did you go to the Huo family?"

"I, I missed my sister." After saying that, she looked at her mother carefully and said, "Mom hit me too hard, it hurt so much that I rushed into your room and closed the door, and then I climbed down from the window."

"I really didn't want to go to the Huo family. I just missed my sister, so I walked around the area and was discovered by them."

Platoon Leader Xu frowned and glanced at his wife: "Did you hit her?"

Xu's mother whispered, "Isn't it normal for me to hit her? It's not the first time. How could I know she would hide in the room?"

At this point, Xu's mother wanted to hit her daughter again: "You unlucky girl, what are you doing running out? Do you feel happy to be laughed at by others?"

Seeing this, Xu Minghong burst into tears: "Mom, don't hit me, I was wrong, don't hit me."

Before Xu's mother's hand touched Minghong, she started crying loudly.

The crying was so deafening that the neighbors on all sides and in all floors could definitely hear it.

Platoon Leader Xu's veins popped up, and he shouted angrily, "That's enough, stop it."

"Why do you beat her every day? You worry about others laughing at you, and you make it your own."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Minghong and said, "Stop crying. Go back to your room and don't follow your sister's example. Otherwise, I will beat you to death."

Xu Minghong nodded repeatedly, like an obedient child: "I, I will be obedient, Dad, don't hit me."

After saying this, she quickly ran back to her room.

Oh my god, this father is so scary. She is really afraid that he will hit her.

Thinking of the way he beat his mother, Xu Minghong got goosebumps all over her body.

She lay on the bed, looking at the moonlight outside, thinking about her sister who was far away in the northwest, wondering how she was doing now.

Thinking of her parents talking about returning to their hometown, she didn't want to go back. If she went back, they would definitely deprive her of the opportunity to go to school.

But she doesn't know how to do it?

When Platoon Leader Xu and his wife returned to the room, he immediately grabbed Xu's mother's hair and angrily asked, "Why did you let that bitch Xu Minghong enter the room?"

"Did you do this on purpose?"

Even though her scalp hurt, Xu's mother didn't dare to cry out loud.

She shook her head repeatedly: "No, how could I let her into the room on purpose? That little beast was so fast that he closed the door in an instant."

Even if she had the courage, she would not dare to let Xu Minghong enter the room. This was really an accident.

If she had known that the little beast was so fast, she wouldn't have beaten her today.

"Xu Jun, you can't hit me anymore. It will kill people."

No matter how much Xu's mother cried, she was beaten in the end. She lay on the ground, motionless.

Xu Jun looked at her coldly, then lay down under the bed and shone the flashlight into the box inside, his brows tightly furrowed.

The box is in the wrong place.

He remembered that the last time he opened the box, the position was not like this.

He turned around and stared at Xu's mother fiercely: "Did you move my box?"

Xu's mother shook her head: "No, how dare I touch your things."

She had touched the box under the bed before and received a severe beating.

From then on, I never dared to touch Xu Jun's things again.

She thought of Minghong coming into the room, and said quickly, "It must be Xu Minghong. It must be that little bastard who saw what was inside!"

She just wanted to protect herself now. As long as she didn't get beaten, she didn't care what would happen to Xu Minghong.

Even if she was beaten to death, she was just a girl.

Besides, if Xu Jun really killed Xu Minghong, the troops would definitely arrest him after finding out. Killing someone would be a crime.

Once Xu Jun died, he would be safe and could also get the money that Xu Jun had hidden.

Thinking of this, Xu's mother became restless.

"The Huo Lanci couple are both well-known for being impartial and selfless in the military region. That girl must have discovered something and went to ask for favors from them."

She looked at Xu Jun: "I am now worried that she will say something she shouldn't say, and the secret you have kept for so long will be known to others."

"I don't want anything to happen to you. If something happens to you, what will happen to me and the children?"

After saying this, Xu's mother burst into tears.

Xu Jun sat on the bed, listening to these words, with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

He couldn't protect himself now. If the secret he was hiding was really known to others, he couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.

He doesn't want to die yet.

He clenched his hands tightly: I don't want to die, so someone else will have to die.

In the middle of the night, someone knocked on the Huo family's door. When Yu Wanqing and Huo Lanci heard the sound, they opened their eyes at the same time and sat up at once.

Huo Lanci said, "You stay at home, I'll go out and take a look first."

He opened the door and found Ding Shaoyuan.

"What happened?" Huo Lanci was worried that someone would come to look for him in the middle of the night. If someone showed up at this time, it would definitely not be good news.

Ding Shaoyuan said: "The person in charge of investigating Platoon Leader Xu just called back."

"So late?" Huo Lanci frowned slightly and asked Ding Shaoyuan to go inside before talking.

After entering the house, he poured a cup of hot water for Ding Shaoyuan, motioning him to drink the water to warm his body first, and then he got down to business.

After Ding Shaoyuan recovered, he said, "The people who went to Xu's house said that Platoon Leader Xu's parents died twelve years ago."

"Someone in the Xu family wanted to inform Platoon Leader Xu, but no one in his hometown knew where he was going to serve in the army."

At this point, Ding Shaoyuan sneered: "Not only that, even Xu Mingzhen's grandmother didn't know that her daughter and son-in-law were in the military district of Beijing, so when Xu Mingzhen's grandmother passed away, they couldn't contact the couple."

Huo Lanci was a little surprised: "That is to say, they haven't contacted their hometown for more than ten years."

"Yes, ever since Platoon Leader Xu came to Beijing, he went back to pick up his wife and daughter after he settled down. Since then, he has not had any contact with his hometown."

"If that's the case, then Platoon Leader Xu's claim that he sends money home to his parents every month is a bit untenable." Huo Lanci said, "This guy is just as we thought, he has a big problem."

"Keep your eyes on it."

Ding Shaoyuan nodded: "I understand."

"There is no news from the Wang family yet. You and your sister-in-law are now living in the former Wang family house. Otherwise, you should take a good look around to see if there are any secret passages or something like that."

Huo Lanci chuckled when he heard this: "Don't worry, we have already checked it."

If I don’t find out clearly, I won’t dare to move in.

"I asked A Kun and the others to keep an eye on the Xu family. If there is any movement from the Xu family, it should be tonight."

Ding Shaoyuan was silent for a moment: "I'll go and take a look. If there is really something wrong, I can help."
