Chapter 13 I'm Afraid Too



Chen Ruxue did not explain the actual situation at home to Ye Haonan, she just gave some general ideas.

Because she felt that it was unnecessary. Some things could only be done personally.

"Then I can just go back with you, at least I can help a little." In fact, Ye Haonan heard what Chen Ruxue said and was afraid that she would be bullied by those people when she returned.

"Okay! When we have time, let's go back to Ning City together.

Okay, it’s getting late, go to bed quickly!”

That night, Chen Ruxue slept soundly, and Ye Haonan, who had been suffering from a leg injury, had a rare good night's sleep.

The next morning, after breakfast, Chen Ruxue borrowed a bicycle and went directly to the commune.

After arriving at the commune and finding a secluded place, Chen Ruxue hung all the food and fruits she had exchanged for points on the handlebars of her bicycle and went directly to the old lady's house she had seen yesterday.

While riding my bike, I blamed myself for not asking the old lady her last name yesterday.

Soon, we arrived at the old lady's house.

But for some reason, the gate to the old lady's house had no shutter, but the door to her room was closed tightly.

A feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged in her heart. Chen Ruxue quickly walked to the door of the room, reached out and pushed the door open with force.

Looking through the door, Chen Ruxue saw the old lady lying quietly on the kang. She patted her chest lightly and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she was still asleep!

"Grandma, it's daybreak. I brought you some food. Grandma..." Chen Ruxue's voice suddenly stopped. She bit her lips hard and said nothing.

"Comrade Chen Ruxue, please tell us again what you saw today." A police officer in his thirties with a righteous face looked at Chen Ruxue.

"Comrade Public Security, I accidentally saved the old lady yesterday. I wanted to bring her some food today, but when I walked in, I saw her... she had passed away.

Later, I reported it to the police. And then you came.

Comrade, how did the old lady die? Was she murdered, or…"

"After our examination, we found that the old lady had a very serious illness that developed very quickly and there was no medicine to cure it. This was also the cause of her death.

But why do you suspect she was murdered? Do you know something else?" The police officer looked at Chen Ruxue suspiciously.

Chen Ruxue was very calm, not at all panicked. "The thing is, I rescued an old lady from two thugs yesterday. They had pointed chins and monkey cheeks. I remember one of them was called Ergou. I also heard the old lady mention that she had reported the case to the police many times before. It was because those two kept coming to extort her that I said that."

"Ergou, it turned out to be him! I understand. However, if it is convenient, Comrade Chen, please leave your specific address so that we can contact you if there is anything else."

"Okay, okay! But, comrade, you must thoroughly investigate those two people. I have a feeling they haven't just hurt the old lady. If there are other people who have been harmed, it would be too late to regret."

"I didn't expect that Comrade Chen Ruxue has such a high level of ideological awareness. Don't worry, we have a new leader recently, and they are cracking down on these people.

But I'm a little curious, Comrade Chen, you don't seem afraid at all!" The police officer looked at me with inquiring eyes again.

In fact, it is not surprising that the public security comrades think too much. The main reason is that it is quite surprising that someone as young as Chen Ruxue can be so calm when facing death.

Chen Ruxue... was speechless.

But she still answered the other party's question, "Actually, when I first found out that the old lady was dead, I was also very scared. Look, my hands are all pinched with marks from my fingernails, and my lips, I didn't notice it just now, but I bit them and they bled.

The reason you think I'm calm is probably because I'm not afraid of the old lady!"

"Haha! What the young comrade said makes a lot of sense!" A voice that sounded very majestic came from behind.

"Captain Lin, you're here."

"I heard someone died, so I came to take a look."

The man called Captain Lin pointed at Chen Ruxue and said, "This young comrade is quite good. He has some courage."

The Captain Lin in front of Chen Ruxue was about thirty years old, very tall, and had a pair of sharp eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts at a glance. It was obvious that he was not a person who was easy to fool.

But Chen Ruxue was not afraid. She had not done anything wrong and was not afraid of him at all.

"Um, Public Security Comrade, could you please tell me how you plan to accommodate the old lady? Also, I've said everything I need to say. Can I leave now? My family is waiting for me to buy meat and cook!"

"According to regulations, when elderly people like Mrs. Wu die, their funeral arrangements will be handed over to the street office, and this house will be taken back.

Comrade Chen, if you have something to do, please go back first. When everything is settled, I will send someone to tell your team to help you avoid worrying about it."

"Then I would like to thank you. Public Security Comrade, Captain Lin, I will be leaving first."

After saying goodbye to the police, Chen Ruxue rode her bicycle straight to the grocery store. She was lucky enough to find a piece of pork belly and two bones with little meat on them left, which she packed up and took away.

Chen Ruxue likes to drink bone soup. Although bone soup may not provide much calcium, cooking noodles with the boiled bone soup is a unique way to make noodles.

After spending the last meat ticket in his hand, Chen Ruxue rushed to the Donglin Brigade.

At this time, at the Ye family, Ye's father was busy making the kang with his cousin and nephew.

Ye's mother and daughter Ye Qingqing were busy preparing lunch.
