Chapter 1212: How About It? Did You Find Anything Wrong?

The two called Zui Feng into the car, then drove away.

As soon as they got in, Liu Chuxue looked at Fu Yan Cheng: "How about it? Did you find anything wrong?"

Fu Yan Cheng's expression was grave: "I didn't get the specific details, but Dad stammered that a colleague invited him out for drinks and cards."

Liu Chuxue narrowed her eyes: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Either he lost money, or he was set up. Otherwise, he wouldn't have that expression. Didn't you see he's been distracted all through dinner today?"

Fu Yan Cheng thought it over and agreed; his father-in-law's demeanor today was indeed unlike before: "Then later, let's swing by Kong Yizhang's place and have him send someone to investigate."

For safety's sake, Liu Chuxue could only nod in agreement; her sixth sense had always been accurate.

The two were lucky; as soon as they reached the main gate of the sub-bureau, they saw Kong Yizhang standing there, talking to someone.

Kong Yizhang spotted the familiar license plate at a glance. After dismissing the person, he jogged over: "Weren't you heading back to the barracks? Why come here?"

Fu Yan Cheng didn't beat around the bush and told him the situation straight: "Trouble you to find someone to help investigate. Liu Chuxue and I are afraid he's been set up."

After hearing this, Kong Yizhang said: "Alright, don't worry about this matter. I'll notify you the moment I have news."

Having said that, he also thanked Liu Chuxue: "Sister-in-law, thank you for the dried seafood you sent yesterday. We had unexpected guests at home tonight, and it really saved my face. My wife and the two kids enjoyed it immensely."

Liu Chuxue didn't expect such a coincidence: "I still have some. Another day, bring your wife and the kids over; we can gather together."

Kong Yizhang laughed heartily: "You and my wife, your sister-in-law, are on the same page. She even said I should contact you two and see when we can gather."

The time wasn't set, but they agreed to contact each other later before parting ways.

Fu Yan Cheng started the car again, and the two people and one dog headed for the barracks.

In a certain courtyard in Beijing City: "Wasn't today too much? Letting him lose that much. Aren't you afraid he won't play with you anymore?"

"Don't worry. Everyone wants a day to turn the tide. Just wait and see. Next time he comes, give him a little sweetness. I don't believe he won't fall for it. Do this a few more times, then we can stop. By then, I don't believe he won't be distracted."

"You're really ruthless. Isn't it just a team leader position? Is it worth you obsessing over it like this?"

"What do you know? I've endured for so long. It was supposed to be a sure thing, but he, a newcomer, snatched it from me. Who wouldn't be unwilling? Besides, if I really become team leader, it'll be more convenient for handling things later, right? Naturally, when something should be fought for, one shouldn't hold back."

"That makes sense. Do as you like, just don't play it too dangerously."

"Don't worry, I know my limits."

At this moment, Xiao Fu was lying on the kang, thinking about the events of the past few days. He truly felt possessed by a ghost; how could he have believed the nonsense from those few people? It seemed he must stay away from them in the future to avoid sinking deeper.

If his family found out, he might as well throw away his old face.

Xiao Mu called his name several times with no response. Angry, she came over and shoved him hard: "What are you thinking about? I've called you several times and you didn't hear?"

Xiao Fu quickly pulled himself together, rubbed his face, and lied: "I was so absorbed in work matters I didn't hear you calling. What's wrong? Did the son pee or poop?"

Xiao Mu glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't continue to press. Instead, she changed the subject: "Shouldn't we send word back to the village about Shi Tou's birth?"
