Chapter 826: Still Putting on an Act with Me — Keep It Up and You'll End Up a Bachelor

What Zhao Lamei didn't know was that after Xiao Laoyezi Xiao left, he didn't head to the hospital.

He went straight to the Gongan Bureau, and upon seeing the person: "How is it going, any progress?"

Bureau Chief Wu, who was in charge of this matter at the Gongan Bureau, saw him come in: "Old Chief, I was just about to contact you, didn't expect you'd come over yourself."

The two chatted as they walked into the office.

Xiao Laoyezi Xiao took a deep breath: "Speak, any new discoveries?"

Bureau Chief Wu first poured Xiao Laoyezi a glass of water before speaking: "According to the mother of Comrade Xiao Nianchun's sister-in-law on her husband's side, someone found her and asked if she wanted to avenge her daughter, and offered her a sum once it was done.

That person thought of her daughter still serving her sentence in prison, and of getting a sum of money, so she agreed."

Xiao Laoyezi Xiao had already guessed the trickery within: "Then how did she know Nianchun was going out at that time?"

He had a bad premonition — this matter was likely also connected to his in-laws.

He then heard Bureau Chief Wu say: "She met Comrade Xiao Nianchun's mother-in-law today, and pumped the information out of her."

Xiao Laoyezi Xiao's breathing grew heavier; he didn't dare imagine how his daughter would take it if she knew her mother-in-law had indirectly harmed her and her child.

Previously, her mother-in-law hadn't come to help with either of the first two births, because the eldest daughter-in-law had committed an unforgivable crime, creating a rift between the second son's couple and the eldest.

Only upon learning the second daughter-in-law was pregnant again, wanting to ease the relationship between the second son's couple and the eldest, did she think to come — but who could have expected such a thing to happen again.

He knew his own daughter's temperament best; if Nianchun learned the truth, her relationship with her in-laws could only be that of enemies — after all, these were two little lives.

Xiao Laoyezi Xiao sighed softly, then spoke again: "Any leads on the person behind this?"

Bureau Chief Wu leaned in close to him: "We did find some clues; I've already had people split into several groups to investigate."

Xiao Laoyezi Xiao saw his manner and his heart immediately tightened: "You suspect someone inside is...."

The words "mole" he did not speak aloud.

Bureau Chief Wu nodded lightly: "Yes, just what you're thinking, so the several groups that went out this time are each only responsible for a part; I also want to see who this person is."

On the other side, Xiao Laoyezi Guo looked at the fish the guard had loaded onto the car: "You kid really are something, hiding it deep enough."

Lu Weijun, however, wore a calm expression at this moment: "Uncle Guo, it's not what you think, don't ruin the Miss's good name."

"What kind of person you are, don't I know? Back then so many people tried to persuade you, you didn't give a damn about any of them, yet suddenly you saw the light — if it's not because you like the Miss, could it be you have a masochistic streak, and getting beaten by her knocked some sense into you?"

"Yes, I did get beaten and saw the light, so you ought to thank her properly, but let's not get into all that other stuff."

"You really have no feelings for the Miss?"

"This matter isn't going to pass, is it?"

"You kid, are you stupid? That Miss is good-looking, capable, and has a good job — if you like her, you have to make your move fast, dawdle any longer and the dish will be cold."

Lu Weijun watched him nag endlessly, and simply closed his eyes; he did indeed have feelings for her, but he'd only just enlisted not long ago, and was still only a squad leader, he.....

But the moment he closed his eyes, all he saw was that Miss's face, and he snapped his eyes open again.

Xiao Laoyezi Guo watched him like this, and said with some frustration at his inability to measure up: "Still putting on an act with me — keep it up and you'll end up a bachelor."
