Chapter 732: Destined to be a Sleepless Night Tonight

An urgent voice came from the other end of the receiver: "Please find Kong Lingchuan."

Liu Chuxue was puzzled at first, wondering why this person called Colonel Kong by his name directly, but when Jiang Ming hung up the phone and ran out, she instantly understood; with the phone system requiring multiple transfers, omitting the title was likely to avoid revealing more information.

Colonel Kong soon ran in, and Liu Chuxue tactfully left the office beforehand.

She didn't intentionally eavesdrop, but who could blame her for having such good hearing? She knew the other team had already found plenty of evidence to convict her at Jiang Huiwen's home and another hidden property.

After finishing the call, Colonel Kong was like he'd been injected with chicken blood, his expression much lighter as he hurried out of the office.

Seeing him return, Fu Yan Cheng looked over.

Colonel Kong gave him a reassuring look: "Jiang Huiwen, I'll give you one last chance to confess and receive leniency. Do you have anything to turn over?"

Jiang Huiwen could feel the change in the atmosphere around this person; the unbreakable wall in her heart showed signs of loosening, yet she still stubbornly said, "I have nothing to confess."

In fact, when she spoke those words, she had a bad feeling in her heart.

Right after she finished speaking, Colonel Kong said, "29 Furong Street."

No sooner had he spoken than Jiang Huiwen's face instantly changed: "You..."

She wanted to say something, but she closed her mouth instead.

She knew that this time, she was truly finished.

She never expected that after so many years, she would be exposed; even that place had been found, let alone the things hidden in her own home. She suddenly looked up: "Comrade, I'll speak."

But Colonel Kong just waved his hand: "It's too late. You refused the chance to earn merit, and now look, our comrades found it out anyway."

Jiang Huiwen knew the situation was hopeless; she wasn't afraid of death, but she still had to think of her children.

Soon, Jiang Huiwen confessed everything; pulling up the radish brought out the mud, and tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

Liu Chuxue stood at the corner where Fu Yan Cheng and Jiang Ming had been standing before, hearing the conversation inside clearly. She focused her will into the space and took out that thin jade tablet, which was the carrier of this space.

It turned out that Jiang Huiwen's desire for the original owner's biological grandfather had a purpose; the so-called Xia family heirloom she mentioned was likely this jade tablet.

Unfortunately, this item had fallen to her, an outsider who had transmigrated.

The door to the temporary interrogation room opened soon, and Jiang Huiwen was escorted out.

Fu Yan Cheng walked over to Liu Chuxue: "Sorry to have you come along and suffer the trouble. We're heading back to the city now."

Liu Chuxue rolled her eyes at him: "It was because of me in the first place; where does this 'suffering' come from?"

After saying goodbye to Jiang Ming and arranging to gather when he returned to the city next time, they got in the car and left ahead of the others.

When they reached that bumpy stretch of road, Liu Chuxue didn't get out again, enduring it stubbornly.

When they arrived at the Qiu family home, before they could knock, Qiu Shaofeng came out and opened the door: "Fu Yan Cheng, Liu Chuxue."

"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry to keep you waiting so late and to have caused you trouble."

"No trouble. We just ran into something, so it's just a matter of sleeping a bit later."

Xia Qiu and Du Juan, who had been waiting for news, also came out.

Xia Qiu spoke first: "Xue, stay the night tonight and leave tomorrow."

Fu Yan Cheng replied first: "Eldest Sister, I'm afraid that won't work. We have to rush back to the city tonight."

Seeing Fu Yan Cheng's serious expression, knowing there must be something important, she didn't dare to persuade further. She pushed Qiu Shaofeng: "Hurry up and load the prepared items onto the car."
