Men and women eating in the courtyard

"We are here, thank you for not letting go."

Coming out of the conference room, Lai Shanchuan said thankfully.

Li Xuewu shook off the cigarettes in his hand, took one out and held it in his mouth, then motioned to Lai Shanchuan.

"Yo! High-end goods!"

Lai Shanchuan smiled and took the cigarette that Li Xuewu shook out, said something in his mouth, and lit it on fire.

After taking a puff of cigarette, he said with some emotion: "You are treated well~"

"A pack of cigarettes, that's all~"

Li Xuewu exhaled a puff of smoke and staggered around the corner to make way for the investigators who came down behind him to go downstairs.

At the end of today's meeting, the troops are still divided into several groups. Li Xuewu will not be out in the field, and will only provide support for interrogation and research and judgment.

Lai Shanchuan asked him to go with him to retrial Yu Lanfang, while the head of the criminal team led a team to investigate Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang's work unit joint factory, Zhao Ziliang's home, train station, Zhili guest house, etc. all have to be reviewed again.

At least it is necessary to determine whether Zhao Ziliang is dead or alive. If he is dead, the murderer may be at large, or he may commit suicide out of fear of crime.

If he is alive, then his disappearance is his biggest suspicion. Fraud cases and murder cases will all focus on him.

In any case, this case finally came to light, and if the suspect could be identified, it would not be a dead end.

Therefore, the two persons in charge of criminal investigation and public security rushed out in a hurry. It was their front-line case investigators who had the hard work.

Coming down from upstairs, the leaders of several groups passed by Li Xuewu and took the initiative to say hello.

Lai Shanchuan watched them leave with hopeful eyes, hoping that this time he could bring back new clues.

But he also knew in his heart that the case could basically be closed at this point.

It's not that all the evidence has confirmed that the murderer is Zhao Ziliang, but that he has no hope of finding Zhao Ziliang.

If the gap cannot be opened from Yu Lanfang, or it is determined that Yu Lanfang has nothing to do with this matter.

In the end, it can only be concluded that Zhao Ziliang and Zhang Shuqin conspired to defraud, and finally divided the spoils unevenly, killed people and absconded.

The two-month handling time not only consumes the bureau's manpower and material resources, but also the energy of the investigative force.

It's impossible for people like them to keep spending money on this case. The 50,000 yuan is not worth it, and the two people who died and disappeared are not worth it either.

The meeting had just ended, and he had communicated privately with Director Zheng. If there was no result in this investigation, the case would be temporarily closed by issuing a wanted order for Zhao Ziliang.

If there are any changes in the future, there is room for processing here, which can also free up the current consumption problem of case handling.

Li Xuewu sat close and heard the two discussing the matter, but remained silent. He did not need his opinion at this time.

The interrogation work in the afternoon was still presided over by Li Xuewu. Although new questions arose, there were records of previous inquiries. Lai Shanchuan wanted to observe Yu Lanfang from the side.

Yu Lanfang still looked the same as when Li Xuewu saw him two days ago, but there was a bit more despair and sadness in her eyes.

Li Xuewu didn't care about this. It would be stupid if all the cases were handled by looking at the other person's expression to judge the authenticity.

"There's a new situation"

After Li Xuewu sat down, he moved the tea cup in front of him, looked at Yu Lanfang and said, "You beat your wife on the night of the 28th, right?"

Yu Lanfang was stunned when she heard Li Xuewu ask him this, then her expression changed drastically and she said: "You guys suspect it's me...!"

Dong Dong~

Lai Shanchuan knocked on the table, looked at him and reminded: "Calm down, I'm asking you a question now."

Yu Lanfang glanced at him, then clenched her fists, pursed her lips and fell silent.

Li Xuewu looked at him meaningfully and asked: "There was an argument first, and then you hit someone, right?"

"Tell me, what's going on between you and Zhang Shuqin? What you told us and what you showed is somewhat different from the investigators' investigation results."

"I don't……"

Yu Lanfang lowered her head and sat there with a little stoop. After a long while, she said again: "I didn't kill her... I didn't..."

"It doesn't matter if you say it, it doesn't matter if I say it, right?"

Li Xuewu looked at him and paused, then said: "There is a conflict between the two of you. You will know whether you take action or not."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lai Shanchuan, then looked at Yu Lanfang and said, "If you don't want to say it, forget it, but we also have reason to suspect that you have a motive to kill."

"Especially with your hesitation now!"

Lai Shanchuan had a serious face, pointed at him with his finger and said: "One more second wasted will increase suspicion. I hope you will consider it carefully and actively cooperate."

"We can guess it even if you don't tell us."

Since Lai Shanchuan played the bad side, Li Xuewu naturally had to play the red side: "No one can find it, money can't be found, you know how to deal with it in the end."

"Even if you really can't find the money, you still won't be able to get out if it leaves you with a suspense of doubt."

“This doesn’t even count”

Li Xuewu looked at him and asked: "Are you willing to let your wife sleep underground? Do you want to blame the real murderer?"

"It's... it's... it's her"

Yu Lanfang's body collapsed instantly, she squeezed her neck hard, and said in a depressed voice: "She...Shuqin...there is someone outside."

"With whom?"

"when?"

"How did you know?"

Lai Shanchuan and Li Xuewu looked at each other, then raised their eyebrows and asked urgently: "Why didn't you tell me when I asked you earlier?"

"yes……"

Yulanfang spread her hands tremblingly and supported the table, slowly explaining: "I don't know who she is with, it's been a long time."

"I... I actually know, but... Alas~"

He sighed and said intermittently: "On the 29th, I thought she was going to leave, she was going to follow him."

"With whom?"

Lai Shanchuan frowned and asked: "You don't know?"

"I don't know, I don't know"

Yulanfang slowly raised her head and looked at them with tears in her eyes, saying: "On the 30th, someone from the supply and marketing cooperative said that she was missing, and I had a hunch."

"Just because you beat her?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked: "What's going on between the two of you, and why did you say you had a hunch that she was going to leave."

"I... hurt... hurt my body while practicing martial arts"

Yulanfang said with some embarrassment: "I... can't be humane, she said she was going out to find someone, and I... acquiesced."

"When did it start?"

Li Xuewu knocked on the table and asked, "How long has it been since you were injured? How long has it been since now?"

"Five or six years, five or six years since now"

Yulanfang took a deep breath and said, "She was fine in the first two years and took care of my emotions, but later she had a deep grudge and kept quarreling with me. Alas~"

"It's all my fault. I hurt her~"

Yulanfang said with a face full of grief, "I should have let her go long ago. I shouldn't have cared about my face and held her tightly. It was me~"

This reason was beyond Li Xuewu's expectation, but the situation was within his expectation.

He knew that opera actors needed to practice, but he didn't know how to practice, and he could practice away his human abilities.

Is there "Sunflower Manual" in opera?

Yulanfang had no parents since she was a child. She was picked up by the opera troupe. By chance, she worshipped a master and learned the craft.

Even after getting married, the couple was in harmony and loving, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly.

At first, he was generous and advised his wife to divorce and marry another good family, and not to care about him.

But at that time, the two were in trouble together. Zhang Shuqin had something to say to him, it is better to marry a good woman than a wife who has cheated on her. In her current situation, she would suffer and lose no matter who she went to.

No matter how many difficulties a young couple has, they are more open-minded than a couple who have been together halfway.

Zhang Shuqin said she would not leave, fearing that they would both regret it and suffer if they left, so they lived like this.

Love, without the nourishment of love, will slowly fade away.

The emptiness at the beginning was not as good as mutual support, but as time went by, people's hearts changed.

Within two years, Zhang Shuqin couldn't stand it anymore, and as soon as her work stabilized, she proposed to break up.

At this time, Yu Lanfang quit. The energy that had mustered up the courage to let go at the beginning was shaken by Zhang Shuqin, and now she no longer had the courage to face the life of rumors alone.

One wants to leave, the other won't, you say life is easy?

Small quarrels over small matters, big quarrels over big matters, Zhang Shuqin wanted to divorce, Yu Lanfang went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The unit at that time was different from the later generations, it controlled everything, including your marriage and divorce.

If there was an employee who abandoned her husband in the unit, everyone would feel embarrassed, and the leaders would be embarrassed.

So the organization took turns persuading Zhang Shuqin, doing work for her, and also gave some help.

At this point, what could Zhang Shuqin do? The organization's intention was very clear. If she dared to divorce, I'm afraid the unit would not be able to accommodate her.

She could only swallow her anger and continue to maintain a bad life of sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams.

But I don't know when it started, Yu Lanfang suddenly found that Zhang Shuqin's temper had calmed down a lot.

At first, he thought his persistence had a positive result, and his wife would tolerate him and understand him.

But later he found something wrong. Judging from what his neighbors said and what he felt from Zhang Shuqin, she had someone else outside.

Yu Lanfang had asked her before, but every time she either denied it directly, remained silent, or quarreled.

The quarrel was so intense that Zhang Shuqin could say anything. He was afraid of the bad influence, so he endured it.

He couldn't do those things. The couple didn't work in the same unit, so he couldn't watch or prevent it. His heart was not with him, so what was the point of watching him.

With guilt and apology to his wife, he didn't care about this matter anymore and devoted himself to his acting career.

He didn't know if it was God's joke on him. His career did take off despite the incompatibility between the couple.

He gradually became a pillar in the troupe and even became famous.

At this time, even if he wanted to make a fuss, he didn't dare to. The couple lived their own lives and lived a stable life for a while.

It was because his fame was growing and his progress was getting faster and faster that when he heard his wife bringing another man home, his concern burst out all at once.

He questioned his wife why she bullied him so much and why she didn't give him any face.

Zhang Shuqin was also full of anger. She swallowed her anger, while Yu Lanfang became successful and famous, becoming more and more glorious.

It should have been a happy event for her husband, but it became a pressure she had to face.

More and more people knew that she was Yu Lanfang's wife, and the reputation that she didn't care about before had a counter-effect at this time.

Outsiders looked at her with contempt and disdain, thinking that she had betrayed Yu Lanfang, and all the criticism was directed at her.

How could Zhang Shuqin bear this? She started to deliberately bring people home like a broken jar.

Most of what the neighbors saw was deliberately let them see by Zhang Shuqin, and also deliberately let Yu Lanfang know.

According to Yu Lanfang, he proposed a divorce at the end of last year and let Zhang Shuqin go free.

But Zhang Shuqin refused. On the one hand, Yu Lanfang's salary was high, and on the other hand, it was revenge and unwillingness.

Yu Lanfang now understands his wife's meaning. It is hatred for him. Hate comes from love. How much love there was, how much hatred there is today.

He admitted that he beat Zhang Shuqin more than once, and the last time was on the night of the 28th, because he found men's clothes at home.

"But I promise that I didn't kill anyone"

Yu Lanfang looked at Li Xuewu and said seriously: "From the time she threatened to make my situation public, and even kept bringing men to my house to deliberately retaliate against me, I knew I had to let go."

"What about the threat?"

Li Xuewu looked at him and asked, "Don't you think her threat is powerful and will affect your career?"

"Hehe~"

Yu Lanfang laughed bitterly, took a deep breath, and said, "Even if she didn't say it, how could she hide it from others? It's just face."

After that, she looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Actors are the lowest class. It is the new era that gave us an identity and allowed us to be human beings."

"But in our industry, how many people have really walked out and truly gotten rid of the shackles of their hearts?"

"This half-crippled body"

He looked down at himself and said, "Compared to others, I am not even a fart, but at least I am still a man."

Li Xuewu didn't understand this psychological construction. He turned his head and looked at Lai Shanchuan, and the other party nodded.

It seems that this circle is really chaotic, not just in the future, but chaotic at the root.

"In my situation, my illness is not embarrassing, especially I can get sympathy"

Yu Lanfang said very frankly: "I will not lose anything if I divorce Zhang Shuqin. If she wants to make a scene, she will be the one affected in the end."

Li Xuewu agreed with this point. Zhang Shuqin ruined her reputation herself. If she went to make a scene with Yu Lanfang, she would be digging her own grave.

"On the night of the 28th, she suddenly lost her silence and said she would find a convenient time to divorce me."

Yu Lanfang closed her eyes slightly and said: "She said she was relieved and didn't want to live with me anymore. I understand what she meant."

He opened his eyes again and looked at Li Xuewu and said: "People like us are now rats crossing the street, so her resentment will naturally disappear."

"You don't want to divorce again?"

Li Xuewu listened to his story, just like watching a Korean drama. It's just a marriage. Can it be so difficult?

But the couple are not generous people. After the separation, they didn't expect each other to be well, so they became what they are today.

Yu Lanfang paused and said, "I am willing, and I agree. I am tired, and it is better to divorce."

"Then what?"

Lai Shanchuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Does Zhang Shuqin plan to run away from home? Or does she intend to take the money and run away?"

"Just to remind you"

Li Xuewu knocked on the table and said to Yu Lanfang, "If you are sure that you are innocent, then someone must have appeared between you and your wife now."

"You should think carefully about whether Zhang Shuqin has any intention to leave you and leave Beijing, and whether that person has threatened her or encouraged her to leave Beijing."

"I don't know"

Yu Lanfang frowned in pain, thinking hard about this question, trying to recall the last night they spent together.

"It must be something"

Li Xuewu enlightened him, "According to our investigation, Zhang Shuqin's documents, clothes, etc. have not been moved, and she has not even shown her intention to leave to anyone in the unit."

"Leaving... Impossible"

Yulanfang thought for a moment and said, "I don't have parents, but she does. Her two younger brothers are useless and rely on her for support."

"Well, keep talking"

Lai Shanchuan felt that he had grasped the key point and could continue to dig deeper.

"The documents... are all there. On the 29th, she didn't show any abnormal behavior"

Yulanfang recalled, "I didn't really hit her with the slap you mentioned. How could I really hit her?"

"Clothes"

Li Xuewu reminded him, "You said you saw men's clothes. Where are the clothes?"

"Gone"

Yulanfang shook her head and said, "It was gone the next day. She must have put it away."

"No"

Lai Shanchuan said, "We went to your house to search. All the items registered at that time were registered by you. All."

"I really don't know where she took it"

Yulanfang said, "If she stuffed it into the stove, I wouldn't know."

It is possible. Lai Shanchuan glanced at him and didn't pursue the question anymore, but motioned him to continue.

"The divorce was agreed upon, but there is no rush. She will also need to find a house after the divorce, so it is impossible for her to leave Beijing."

Yu Lanfang hesitated and said, "She is reluctant to leave her job at the supply and marketing cooperative, and she will not abandon her parents."

"As for the money she defrauded, and whether anyone forced her to do so..."

Yu Lanfang thought for a moment and said, "My salary has always been with her. In fact, our family is not very short of money."

"Even if she gets divorced, she won't worry about money, so I don't believe in any money fraud."

He said very seriously: "As for persecution, it is even more impossible. She has the strongest temperament. How can she compromise?"

“The only problem is the deception”

Yu Lanfang thought for a while and said: "We are both very stupid, and we don't have that kind of twists and turns, otherwise we wouldn't be where we are today."

"If you say she was deceived, I can't guarantee that it's not possible..."

"Is there a target of suspicion?"

Lai Shanchuan asked: "Relatives, friends, even the person you heard about."

"Haha, it's been almost two months."

Yu Lanfang said helplessly: "Here, I tell you all the people I know and can think of."

"Of course, except for today's incident"

He nodded and admitted: "It's a little hard for me to say this, and I have no qualms about asking."

"I hope so"

Lai Shanchuan glanced at Li Xuewu, stood up and said, "Stop trying to deceive us, otherwise you will not only be delayed."

"That~!"

Seeing the two of them getting up to leave, Yu Lanfang raised her hand and said, "Shuqin's funeral...?"

"Hold on"

Lai Shanchuan watched Li Xuewu go out first, turned back to Yu Lanfang and said: "The forensic doctor is still looking for clues, and we will talk about it when we have it."

After speaking, he ignored Yu Lanfang's expression and followed out of the interrogation room door.

In the lounge area of ​​the lobby, Li Xuewu was sitting there smoking. Lai Shanchuan glanced at him and sat in the row in front of him.

"How likely is it that it's Yu Lanfang?"

Lai Shanchuan lit a cigarette for himself, turned back, leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu, on the other hand, exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "I can't imagine his motive~"

"Betrayal? Threat? Or something else?"

Lai Shanchuan took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Maybe he is too good at disguising and is hiding something from us?"

"for example?"

Li Xuewu moved his eyes to Lai Shanchuan's face and asked, "Has he concealed this fact, or does he know the people who went to his home?"

"Hard to say"

Lai Shanchuan squinted his eyes, thinking, and said: "Especially that piece of clothing, it may not be the one that Zhang Shuqin hid."

"By concealing this, does it cut off his clues to killing Zhao Ziliang?"

Li Xuewu shook his chin and said, "You may not be able to find anything at the train station, including Zhili."

"Yeah~"

Lai Shanchuan sighed and said: "It's been too long. Zhao Ziliang is going to the countryside again. If he really ends up dead in a ravine, he won't be able to find anyone for eight lifetimes."

"That's a good thing?"

Li Xuewu looked at Lai Shanchuan with a smile and said: "Yu Lanfang is cleared of suspicion, and you can also close the case."

Lai Shanchuan looked at Li Xuewu without speaking, and felt that there was something in his words.

Of course, he also understood Li Xuewu's personality, and he also knew that he listened to the method of closing the case that he discussed with Director Zheng.

It doesn't matter, he can't make the whole team suffer for his own sake.

If there is any problem in the future, he will bear what he deserves and suffer what he deserves. After so many years, there are still fewer problematic cases?

There is no one in this line of work who says he will not be punished. The front-line team, especially his position, is not a job that a good person can do.

Don't look at Li Xuewu sitting there and making sarcastic remarks. If he were really allowed to sit in this position, he would be worried.

Li Xuewu was the deputy director of the Public Security Department back then. Why didn't he come to work?

Do you think he really does all the work without giving it to Li Xuewu? This is not a piece of cake. He is the number one, and the benefits will always be indispensable to him.

This Li Xuewu is a thief. He couldn't ask anything from Yu Lanfang just now. Do you think he still listened to what he said about handling Zhang Shuqin's funeral?

Lai Shanchuan knew very well that Li Xuewu had already given the answer to his question before he gave it.

Yu Lanfang has no motive for committing the crime.

Don't talk about betrayal or threats. As for their husband and wife, the news had already spread around the moment he acquiesced.

If they really cared, the couple would have fought it out long ago, why wait until Zhao Ziliang was about to go on a business trip.

Compared with Zhao Ziliang's sudden disappearance, Yu Lanfang's suspicion level has been greatly reduced.

The silence Lai Shanchuan gave Li Xuewu was the answer. He had already made a decision in his heart.

Li Xuewu also saw that his support this time was in vain, but the result was good, at least he found a reason to close the case.

He sat in the lobby and waited, just to see Lai Shanchuan's opinion. If nothing happened, he would go home.

Anticlimactic?

It doesn't exist. This case has been a mess from the beginning to the end. Several parties involved in the case are tired of dealing with it, and they all want to close the case as soon as possible.

Is this case difficult?

Li Xuewu didn't feel that his coming here to support them had helped them much. His only role was to help them find a reason to close the case.

If Lai Shanchuan had found this reason by himself, it would probably be difficult to explain it to his superiors.

If experts are invited from above to assist, others may not necessarily be willing to endorse them.

As a rookie expert in the department, he still has a certain reputation, and Lai Shanchuan is also very particular and has been supporting him.

So, the investigators went out in a hurry this afternoon, thinking that they would feel it through the sieve and then sign to confirm.

All the evidence combined together, even if the money is not found, the tools and the first scene are not found, but there can be an explanation.

Because the perpetrator ran away, they have been confusing them all the time, and the murderer has enough reasons to commit the crime.

Zhao Ziliang, who had an affair with Zhang Shuqin, learned about the credit union's procedures through his wife Du Xiaoyan, often went on business trips, and had rich experience in going out...

All the situations are listed together, I believe that the credit society is satisfied, the supply and marketing society is satisfied, and the higher-ups will also be satisfied with this result.

As for Yu Lanfang, he has saved his life and ended his disharmonious marriage. What is he dissatisfied with?

Du Xiaoyan, who was wrong in herself, her husband is missing, what can she do to seek justice.

Everyone acquiesced and was satisfied, so this case is perfect.

Li Xuewu accompanied the silent Lai Shanchuan to finish the last puff of cigarette, extinguished the cigarette butt, stood up and was about to leave.

Just after taking two steps, Lai Shanchuan's voice came from behind: "I'm not a good police officer, right?"

How should Li Xuewu answer this?

Could it be that he is a good leader?

Li Xuewu couldn't say anything against his will. The knife he stabbed himself in the past was not something a good leader would do.

As for saying some sarcastic words, that's not necessary. He is not that petty.

Without stopping, Li Xuewu turned back and waved to him while walking, smiling slightly, as a farewell.

Good and bad should never be used to describe people. At least in his heart, there is no distinction between good and bad people in this world.

Those who do good things are not necessarily good people, and those who do wrong things are not necessarily bad people, but those who do wrong things and don't know how to repent are definitely not good people.

——

After leaving the police station on Thursday, Li Xuewu didn't care about the case anymore.

There was no need for him to sign anything, let alone make any endorsement speeches.

The police station will definitely put his name on the closing report when it forms the case.

But he is no longer a member of this system, at least the affiliation is not so direct. It is a case support, not to mention taking responsibility.

Although there are still some doubts in his heart, this case has nothing to do with him.

Early on Sunday morning, Li Xuewu woke up from the bed in the guesthouse, stretched his body, and then yawned.

Zhang Songying was almost suffocated by his arm, and kicked him hard in the quilt.

"You did it on purpose!"

"Hiss~ Be gentle!"

Li Xuewu grimaced in pain and said disgustedly: "I'm not wearing pants!"

"Did it hurt?!"

Zhang Songying was stunned when she saw his expression. She didn't really use any strength just now.

Knowing that this bad guy is used to teasing her, she was still worried, and she lifted the quilt and got in, and asked: "Here?"

"Hiss~~~"

Li Xuewu suddenly glared, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Down~up~that's it! Right~right~"

"This?"

Zhang Songying's voice came out from the quilt muffled, with a hint of doubt: "Can I kick this?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Li Xuewu said with a wicked smile: "Look, is it swollen?"

"..."

Zhang Songying knew that this man was not a good guy and lied to her again.

But she is a kind person. Even if it is not her responsibility, can she ignore others who are injured and uncomfortable?

After washing up, Zhang Songying went to put on makeup, still with the same set of equipment, went to Guangzhou, and bought a few more artifacts.

"Who won and who lost last night?"

Zhang Songying glanced at Li Xuewu in the mirror and asked, "The deputy director of the division looks a little off. Is he angry because of losing?"

"Really? I didn't notice~"

Li Xuewu adjusted his leather jacket, looked at the mirror from her side, and said casually, "I only won less than twenty, but you took it all away~"

"Director Li won a lot, I'm afraid it's almost fifty"

He took the wooden comb on the table and combed his hair, and restored his lightning-struck hairstyle again.

Zhang Songying looked up at Li Xuewu and said angrily: "You don't have any money in your pocket, but you won the twenty yuan?"

"Of course not!"

Li Xuewu was not embarrassed at all, and said seriously: "Don't you know that I am famous for making money without doing anything?"

"Now I know~"

Zhang Songying asked with a smile: "Everyone is happy if you win, but what if you lose?"

"How can I lose if I play with them?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly: "It was a money-giving boy game last night. Those who lost money are all big fools!"

"Huh~~~"

Zhang Songying pouted and said: "People are pointing guns at the leader. You intercept it, aren't you afraid that the leader will hate you?"

"He will be angry if I don't intercept it!"

Li Xuewu threw away the wooden comb in his hand and explained to Zhang Songying: "The deputy director of the division has never played with Director Li, so he doesn't know Director Li's temper."

As he spoke, he took the bag on the cabinet and put on his leather shoes.

"Director Li is a weak person, but he hates to see people being weak in the poker field. I saved the life of the deputy director last night."

"You are just talking nonsense~"

Zhang Songying stood up and took the money from the bedside table and stopped Li Xuewu who was about to leave, saying: "You haven't taken the money yet~"

"If you grab it, it's yours"

Li Xuewu turned around with a smile and said: "If you think more about me getting rich, if you win more next time, I'll grab a lot for you."

"Then this is considered illegal income~"

Zhang Songying said with a smile: "Just in time, I made an appointment with Qin Huairu to get her hair done today. We will eat well outside and then go shopping to buy materials to make clothes."

"I have to spend it all~"

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Yes, it's up to you, prodigal bitch~"

"Who are you talking about!~"

Zhang Songying wanted to chase her angrily, but Li Xuewu had already gone out and locked her in the door.

"Hmph~"

She pouted angrily, put away the money in her hand, and continued to draw her eyebrows.

Last night, Director Li entertained several cadres from the branch factories for a meeting here and asked Li Xuewu to accompany them.

They drank a lot of wine, and after the game ended, they went upstairs to play cards and chat.

Zhang Songying has stopped working on duty here because she is already preparing for the opening of Liuguo Hotel.

But knowing that Li Xuewu wasn't going home last night, of course she had to stay. It would take a long time.

Qin Huairu was on duty last night but didn't go upstairs. On the one hand, it was inconvenient and she didn't like being together. On the other hand, it was not annoying.

Now Li Xuewu is no longer the little brother she used to be. Unlike Zhang Songying, she doesn't have as much capital to play.

Watching Li Xuewu go downstairs, Qin Huairu came out of the office and invited him to eat in the cafeteria.

Li Xuewu looked at his watch, waved his hand and said he was in a hurry.

Qin Huairu didn't know what Li Xuewu was busy with all day now. He didn't even have time to eat breakfast on the weekend.

If you say you are in a hurry to go home, is it too late at this time?

Of course Li Xuewu didn't go home. He called home last night and Han Jiankun didn't go back either, so Qin Jingru stayed at the shipping warehouse.

Last week, Yu Li was complaining to him, saying that he was a big shopkeeper who had no control over him, and he was becoming more and more like a capitalist, and she had to come to him to report work.

In fact, he also understood Yu Li's inconvenience, and she was not blind. Even Han Jiankun could see Qin Jingru's cautious eyes.

When sending Yu Li back, Han Jiankun also took the initiative to say a few words to her to ease the relationship. This was a rare initiative for him who practiced keeping silent.

So don't wait for Yu Li to get bored and keep asking him, and make an appointment with Lou Yu and his wife. It's better to go as early as possible, otherwise something will come up and you can't avoid it.

The command car came out of the guest house and walked all the way out. At the gate, it happened to meet the second batch of kids who came to visit and study the factory.

Li Xuewu looked at these progressive students with clear and stupid eyes, and thought to himself, how many more terms can this reception station of the Foreign Affairs Office last?

If you just make people work hard like this, sooner or later the streets will stink! ——

"Tu Kang is not good at all!"

"A dilapidated house with no air conditioning!"

"I don't want to eat steamed buns, I want to eat bread!"

…

As soon as Li Xuewu got out of the car, he saw Lou Yu coaxing a little brat.

It's not that he has no moral integrity. The hat that Lou Yu coaxed has two rabbit ears on his head.

As soon as his car entered the courtyard, Lou Yu had already seen it and was waiting for him.

"Yo! This hat is so awesome!"

Li Xuewu smiled and looked at the little rabbit. He didn't say hello to Lou Yu, but teased the child first.

Lou Ting also noticed a car entering the yard. At this moment, he saw a tall man with a fierce look get out of the car and immediately hid behind his grandfather.

He had heard from family members and even seen it in photo albums. It seemed that people dressed like this were probably called Marshals.

A handsome man is a noun, not an adjective.

His grandma told him that most of these handsome men were bandits with beards, just like the man in front of him.

He wore a tower hat on his head, a scar on his face, a woolen coat on his body, leather gloves in his hands, and big leather shoes on his feet.

He had known since he was a child that beards eat children.

Lou Yu held his eldest grandson who was hiding behind him in his arms and looked at Li Xuewu with complicated eyes. Both his grandfather and grandson looked a little afraid.

"When did you arrive?"

Li Xuewu grinned, and Lou Ting was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at him at all. He teased the child and said, "It's been a smooth journey, right?"

“Everything is fine”

Lou Yu lowered his head to look at his eldest grandson, pulled his hand and taught him: "Call...call me uncle."

"I won't scream!"

Lou Ting dared not look at Li Xuewu, so he threw away his grandfather's hand and ran towards the room where he stayed yesterday.

After boarding the ship from the port city, he was imprisoned in the cabin like a little piglet. He didn't dare to cry or scream.

He ate obediently when he was given something, and didn't dare to yell at others when he was hungry. It was rare for him to behave like this in so many years.

As soon as he got off the boat, he was put into the car again. Even his mouth was blocked and he didn't dare to shed tears until he met his grandfather.

This is a real family member. I cried for five or six times and fucked three big buns before I finally stopped.

“No rules”

Lou Yu watched his grandson run away and scolded him helplessly. Then he looked at Li Xuewu apologetically and said, "I don't need any discipline. He has been spoiled by his father."

"Children, teach them slowly."

Li Xuewu raised his hand and signaled: "You go and wait for me first. I will come to you after having a meal in the restaurant."

"Let's go, let's eat at home"

Lou Yu gently patted Li Xuewu's arm, sighed and said: "He was spoiled and couldn't eat whole grains, so he asked his grandma to make breakfast."

“That’s great”

Li Xuewu smiled, not polite at all, and followed him into the courtyard.

These days, Lou Yu had been living alone in a room here. Later, something happened in Gangcheng, and Tan Yali was worried, so she came down from the mountain to accompany him.

She had heard about what her daughter had done in Gangcheng, and was afraid that something might happen to the old man, so she waited for Li Xuewu here together. They were like a couple, sharing the joys and sorrows.

During the greetings, Lou Yu did not show any dissatisfaction or complaints towards his wife, daughter, or even him. He just complained about his grandson's failure.

Li Xuewu did not respond to his words, but listened and hummed and hawed, which was considered as a joke for him.

As soon as they entered the yard where they lived, they saw Lou's mother waiting at the door, so they smiled and greeted her.

"Mom, are you waiting for me?"

"Ah... I just heard Lou Ting say that you are here. Haven't you eaten yet? Come on, I'll serve you some food."

Tan Yali was stunned by Li Xuewu's "Mom". Then she looked at her lover awkwardly and called Li Xuewu into the house.

Lou Yu didn't care about this. This call was meant for him, which was very meaningful.

Show off? Threaten? Or appease?

The matter has been settled, and what else can he say?
