Chapter 740: I Dare Not Claim This Merit

Without caring that two people were still in the courtyard, she directly stored the contents of the box into her space.

After searching the room for some items worth taking, she moved on to the neighboring courtyard.

She hadn't expected this man to have quite a few good things too; under the bed were two small boxes, one holding gold bars, the other holding several pieces of jewelry, along with a few stacks of banknotes.

Well, this man had indirectly plotted against her, so she might as well consider these things compensation; she took them without the slightest burden on her conscience.

Once done, she took a bicycle out of her space and went straight after the man who had left earlier.

When she saw him, he had already walked past one street.

Liu Chuxue took a shortcut, arriving just ahead of him, put the bike away, and waited for him to approach.

She threw a sack over him and immediately started punching and kicking the man.

Of course, she used clever force, making the man hurt so much he doubted life itself, but without affecting his daily activities.

The reason she didn't deal a killing blow was naturally so she wouldn't delay him from marrying home that little lover he had pretended to take a fancy to.

Having vented her anger, she turned and vanished into the night.

By the time the man finally crawled out of the sack, there was no sign of anyone.

He ground his teeth in anger but dared not vent loudly, after all, any sound in the dark could be amplified infinitely, and at this hour, some diligent households might already have people preparing to get up.

He could only endure the pain and head home.

As for the sack on the ground, it was a common sack used at the grain station; Liu Chuxue had checked it carefully and confirmed it was fine before using it.

Avoiding two groups of Gongan Bureau officers, she climbed the wall again to return to the Gongan Bureau dormitory, making sure to erase all traces along the way, after all, this was the Gongan Bureau; one must never be careless.

She returned to the dormitory by the original route, confirmed no traces were left, and only then got back into bed.

As for the things in her space, she had no time to check them now; after all, Du Juan was in the room, and it was already late; she should hurry and catch up on some sleep to avoid raising suspicion.

On the other side, while making deployments, they conducted overnight surprise interrogations on the enemy spies who had been caught one after another; it wasn't until dawn that things finally settled down.

Fu Yan Cheng looked at those confessions: "These people actually have intricate connections with those caught previously in Baifu Village; it seems I'll have to make another trip tomorrow to re-interrogate those people; perhaps there will be unexpected gains."

Kong Yizhang's eyes were full of exhaustion: "I'd say your luck is unmatched; I didn't expect that just by accompanying your sister-in-law on a trip, you'd uncover an entire line of enemy spies; brother, you are truly awesome."

As he spoke, he even gave him a thumbs-up.

Fu Yan Cheng didn't even lift his head: "I dare not claim this merit; this is Xue'er's achievement; if she hadn't noticed something odd about that old woman and drawn her out, there wouldn't have been last night's operation."

After reviewing all the interrogation records.

Fu Yan Cheng suddenly asked: "What time does your canteen start serving breakfast?"

Kong Yizhang naturally knew the meaning behind the question: "Your sister-in-law is truly fortunate; you haven't slept a wink all night, and the first thing you do after finishing official business is thinking about her breakfast; it seems you are truly fallen for her."

As he spoke, he leaned in close to Fu Yan Cheng: "But if I met a woman who brought me such good fortune, I'd definitely be just like you."

Having finished speaking, he immediately retreated, raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist: "There are still forty minutes; the canteen will have breakfast soon; do you want me to find you a lunch box? No, I should find two."

Fu Yan Cheng gave him a look that meant "you know the ropes," then returned his gaze to those interrogation records, involuntarily reviewing in his mind the interrogation records of those people caught previously in Baifu Village.
