However, Shen Xingchen heard what Mai Lao San said.

Finally he got the answer that had been bothering him for days.

It turns out that Mai Sui was not with 'that guy'.

This way, he still has a chance!

However, Uncle Mai seemed to dislike me. Not only did he call me a gigolo, he even wanted to match Mai Sui with Captain Qi.

Shen Xingchen felt a sense of urgency and pressure.

After a mental struggle last night, he has faced up to his own feelings.

Although it was a bit sudden, he was sure and certain that he fell in love with Mai Sui!

Even though he knew that the other person was not mentally sound and had obvious violent tendencies when he was ill, he still fell hopelessly in love with her and there was no reasoning involved.

He failed, he admits it!

.......

Lu Chengye was delighted to see Mai Sui come back so quickly, but then he saw Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai following closely behind.

Moreover, Mai Sui had a stern face, which was completely different from the joyful look he had when he saw Shen Xingchen before.

Lu Chengye automatically thought, is he unhappy because he was caught by Uncle Mai?

During the last blind date, Lu Chengye knew that Mai Xiangdong and Mai Laosan were both very satisfied with him.

Through clues, Lu Chengye speculated that Mai Sui and Shen Xingchen's relationship was not approved by their family elders.

So does he still have a chance?

Lu Chengye was moved and decided to try one last time.

However, now that Mai Lao San and Mai Hongcai were here, Lu Chengye could only find another opportunity to talk to Mai Sui alone.

Now, it is more important to do the right thing.

"Uncle Mai, we are here for routine inquiries. Don't be nervous. Just briefly tell us about your family situation, including important relatives and friends."

Mai Lao San naturally knew the situation of the old Mai family, and answered Lu Chengye's questions fluently.

Mai Sui sat nearby, sharpening arrows and memorizing the lessons silently in his mind.

There are very few relatives on Lao Mai's side. People of my grandfather's generation either died in the war or got lost and disappeared.

Only the four brothers including Mai Xiangdong were left to depend on each other and support each other.

So the four brothers have a very good relationship.

This situation is very common in Lianhua Village because there were two major famines in the 1940s and 1960s, and many people died all over the country.

As for Mai Laosan’s in-laws, that is, the grandparents of the original owner Mai Sui, they are still there.

However, ever since the original owner's mother passed away, the two sides rarely interacted with each other, except during the Chinese New Year, when the original owner's two siblings would go to pay New Year's greetings.

"Have you seen any suspicious people in the village in the past month or two?" Lu Chengye asked.

"No, they are all from the village. We have known each other for decades. There is nothing suspicious." Mai Laosan replied truthfully.

Lu Chengye turned around and asked Mai Sui: "I heard that you often go hunting in the mountains? Have you encountered any special people or things?"

Lu Chengye asked this not because he suspected Mai Sui. After all, Liu Rui was caught by Mai Sui, so her suspicion could almost be ruled out.

He just thought that Mai Sui often went into the mountains to hunt, so maybe he knew something.

In fact, the original owner, Mai Sui, didn’t know how to hunt at all. He only went hunting in the mountains after the new Mai Sui arrived.

This change happened just a month ago.

Don’t you think this is a coincidence?

If Liu Rui was not caught by Mai Sui, then Mai Sui would be the most suspicious.

Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai naturally knew about this situation, but they would definitely not doubt their relatives.

What's more, the situation of wheat ears is special and cannot be viewed with ordinary people's thinking.

Following the principle of less trouble is worse than more, neither Mai Laosan nor Mai Hongcai mentioned the matter.

Mai Sui naturally wouldn't be so stupid as to blow himself up, so he replied directly: "Except for the last time I met Qi Chuanqing and the others, there's nothing special about it."

Lu Chengye didn't doubt anything. He asked a few more questions and then called it a day.

However, such investigation work is not only carried out in Lianhua Village, but also in the nearby Mujin Village.

Old Ding from Mujin Village was engaged in black market speculation. Even if not everyone in the village knew about it, Lai Mazi and others who often played cards with him definitely knew about it.

Moreover, they also knew that Mai Lao San had close contacts with Lao Ding.

This was what Mai Lao San said himself when we were playing cards last time.

Some people resisted the questioning and did not betray Lao Ding.

But some people were jealous and reported Lao Ding.

He even said with certainty that he had seen someone secretly contacting Lao Ding in the middle of the night, and it might be an enemy spy!

The other party provided several suspects, including Mai Lao San!

This matter was exposed at this time, and the situation was of great significance. Public security officer Gao Zhengxiong, who learned the news, immediately paid great attention to it.

At this moment, Mai Laosan didn't know that he was about to be in big trouble.

......

After Lu Chengye came out of Mai Sui's house, he and Yao Guanghui and the others went to visit other villagers separately.

The three of them worked until the afternoon before they finally got a clear picture of the situation in Lotus Village.

Then go back and report immediately.

The progress of others was similar, and some villages were completed in less than a morning.

Only a few villages at the foot of the mountain, such as Lianhua Village and Mujin Village, took a longer time to investigate. After all, they were close to the mountain and there was a greater possibility that spies were hiding there.

Qi Chuanqing was the commander-in-chief of the entire operation. He took the summary form handed over by the Public Security Bureau and screened it.

Finally, several major suspects were identified.

Among them, Lao Ding and Mai Lao San are on the list.

Qi Chuanqing did not rule out Mai Laosan as a suspect just because he was Mai Sui's biological father.

He personally captured many enemy spies, who were all very cunning and often used their unsuspecting family members as cover.

Therefore, the fact that Mai Sui is not a suspect does not mean that Mai Lao San is also innocent.

Qi Chuanqing will not let go of any potential enemy.

That evening while they were having dinner, a group of fully armed People's Liberation Army soldiers rushed into Mai Laosan's house.

Out of instinct, Mai Sui threw the rice in his hand away, and the six soldiers who rushed in all fell down in an instant.

However, the rice had limited killing power, and they just fell down without any injuries or bleeding.

It's just... a bit unbelievable.

The soldiers didn't expect that they would be defeated by a bowl of rice.

Some people didn't believe it and licked the rice grains at the corners of their mouths. They found it was really rice!

What they didn't know was that their reckless behavior of not knocking had angered someone.

If it weren't for the wrong location and the fact that they were wearing military uniforms, it would most likely be a corpse now.

Of course, Mai Sui attacked not only because they didn't knock on the door, but also because there was a hint of murderous intent in them.

People who often walk on the gates of hell are most sensitive to this kind of thing.

Therefore, Wheat Ear would instinctively take action and be the first to break the opponent's defense line.

Mai Sui raised his hand and pinched his brows, lowered his eyes slightly, and asked with temper:

"What do you want to do by rushing in here with murderous intent?"

Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai had never seen such a scene before. They were almost scared to death and immediately hid under the table.
