Chapter 80: If They Are Unhappy, I Am Comfortable

At this moment, the eldest brother, Chen Weidong, grasped the key point: "You said he was caught in the middle of the night?"

Little Wang, who had followed, nodded: "Yes."

Chen Weidong’s eyes were full of rage as he turned to his grandfather and father: "Then it makes sense. He must have left the door open when he went out in the middle of the night, giving someone a chance to slip in. That’s why the house was robbed."

This was impossible to refute. Even Master Chen felt this was possible; otherwise, with their courtyard walls so high, how could a thief enter so easily?

It was just that there was likely more than one thief, otherwise, it couldn't have been cleaned out so thoroughly.

Upon hearing her eldest son’s words, Yan Qingshuang’s face flashed with displeasure: "What nonsense are you spouting? That is your own brother."

Chen Weidong was furious, thinking about how difficult their lives would be if the items couldn't be recovered, and how his two daughters would likely have a hard time in the future: "At a time like this, you still want to protect him?"

Chen Jiefang couldn't care about the house being robbed anymore. After the Revolutionary Committee people verified the situation, he chased after them and left.

After all, if this matter wasn't resolved well, it wasn't just a matter of losing face; he might even lose his job.

Liu Chuxue also wanted to see the scumbag’s embarrassment, so she followed as well.

Stopping not far from the Revolutionary Committee, she released her spiritual perception to probe inside. In one room, she saw Chen Weiping sitting with his head in his hands, looking utterly decadent.

Heh, what did she see? Hu Liru, locked in the next room, was in an even more miserable state.

At this moment, Hu Liru was being slapped by another woman locked in with her. The woman was cursing: "I hate bitches like you the most. All you know is how to scheme all day long, and you even wanted to harm me. Do you think you're something special?"

It seemed this woman wasn't honest even here. She was playing that "little white lotus" act, and having been exposed, she deserved the beating.

Fine, if they were unhappy, she was comfortable. The main business was mostly done; as for the aftermath, she could guess it without asking, so there was no need to wait here.

After all, she still had to rush back to the bus stop outside the commune to wait for Kong Yizhang and the others. She was hitching a ride, so she couldn't make them wait for her.

She was afraid that if they couldn't find her, they might detour to the village to look for her, which would be a huge trouble.

She had originally wanted to catch a ride on an ox cart or something, but she was afraid of running into someone she knew, so she decided to walk.

Fortunately, she wasn't slow on her feet. She avoided people along the way and hurried to the spot just in time.

Finding a concealed spot where she could see the approaching vehicle, she sat down and took out a large meat bun to eat; she had been walking for so long and was starving.

After finishing the bun, seeing the car hadn't arrived yet, she took a new towel from the pile of things she had collected, dampened it with fresh water using her intent, and tidied herself up.

This wasn't the later generations; these county-level roads weren't asphalt, they were all dirt roads.

Occasionally, cars or tractors would pass by and kick up dust. Walking all this way, while not exactly filthy, she wasn't exactly clean either, and she didn't want to be looked down upon.

Just as she finished tidying up, she saw yesterday’s car speeding toward her from afar.

Stepping out from her hiding spot, the car soon reached her. Kong Yizhang smiled and rolled down the window: "Waited long?"

Liu Chuxue smiled: "I came according to the time you said, didn't wait long."

Kong Yizhang pointed to the back: "Get in."

After the car started moving, the female Gongan sitting in the back said with a worried face: "Chief, Little Zhang was taken to Haishi by the Bureau Chief. The translators currently in the bureau probably can't handle it. I'm afraid we'll have to ask for outside help."
