Siheyuan diet for men and women

Chapter 948 Sharing joys and sorrows
"The person is right here with us. Thank goodness we didn't let go."

Coming out of the conference room, Lai Shanchuan said thankfully.

Li Xuewu shook the cigarette in his hand, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then gestured to Lai Shanchuan.

"Yo! It's high-end stuff!"

Lai Shanchuan took the cigarette that Li Xuewu shook out with a smile, said something under his breath, and then lit it.

After taking a puff of cigarette, he said with some emotion: "You are still treated well~"

"A pack of cigarettes, that's all~"

Li Xuewu exhaled a puff of smoke and turned a corner to make way for the investigator coming down the stairs.

After today's meeting, the troops were divided into several groups. Li Xuewu would not go out on field missions and would only provide support for interrogation and analysis.

Lai Shanchuan asked him to go with him to re-examine Yu Lanfang, while the head of the criminal group led a team to investigate Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang's unit, the joint venture factory, Zhao Ziliang's home, the railway station, the Zhili Guesthouse, etc. all need to be visited again.

At least we need to determine whether Zhao Ziliang is dead or alive. If he is dead, there is a possibility that the murderer is still at large, or that he committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

If he is alive, then his disappearance will be his biggest suspicion, and all the fraud and murder cases will be focused on him.

In any case, this case has finally been solved. Now that the suspect has been identified, it is no longer a dead end.

So the two persons in charge of criminal and public security were rushing out in a hurry, and they, the front-line case handlers, were the ones who had a hard time.

Coming down from upstairs, several group leaders greeted Li Xuewu and his companions when they passed by.

Lai Shanchuan watched them leave with hope in his eyes, hoping that they could bring back new clues this time.

But he knew in his heart that the case could basically be closed at this point.

It’s not that all the evidence has confirmed that the murderer is Zhao Ziliang, but that he has no hope of finding Zhao Ziliang.

If we can't find a way out from Yulanfang, or if we can confirm that Yulanfang has nothing to do with this matter.

In the end, it can only be concluded that Zhao Ziliang and Zhang Shuqin conspired to defraud, and finally killed someone and fled due to uneven distribution of the spoils.

The two-month case handling time not only consumed the manpower and material resources of the bureau, but also the energy of the investigative force.

It is impossible for these people to keep spending money on this case. The 50,000 yuan is not worth it, and the two people who died and disappeared are not worth it either.

The meeting just ended, and he had already discussed it privately with Director Zheng. If this investigation did not produce any results, they would temporarily close the case by issuing a warrant for Zhao Ziliang.

If any changes occur later, there will be room for handling them here, which will also help to alleviate the current case handling consumption problem.

Li Xuewu was sitting nearby and heard the two people discussing this matter, but he did not say anything as there was no need for him to give his opinion at this time.

The interrogation in the afternoon was still presided over by Li Xuewu. Although new problems had arisen, there were records of previous interrogations, and Lai Shanchuan wanted to observe Yu Lanfang from the side.

Yu Lanfang still looked the same as when Li Xuewu saw him two days ago, except that there was a bit more despair and sadness in her eyes.

Li Xuewu didn't care about this. It would be stupid if he had to rely on looking at the other party's expression to judge the truth when handling a case.

“There’s a new situation”

Li Xuewu sat down, moved the teacup in front of him, looked at Yu Lanfang and said, "You beat your wife on the night of the 28th, right?"

Yu Lanfang was stunned when she heard Li Xuewu ask him this, then her face changed drastically and she said, "You guys suspect it's me...!"

dong dong~
Lai Shanchuan knocked on the table, looked at him and reminded him: "Calm down, I'm asking you a question now."

Yu Lanfang glanced at him, then clenched her fists, pursed her lips and fell silent.

Li Xuewu looked at him meaningfully and asked, "First there was a quarrel, and then you hit someone, is that right?"

"Tell me about your situation with Zhang Shuqin. What you told us and what you showed are somewhat different from the results of the investigators' investigation."

"I do not have……"

Yu Lanfang lowered her head and sat there hunched over. After a long while, she said, "I didn't kill her... I didn't..."

"You have no say in this matter, and neither do I, right?"

Li Xuewu looked at him and paused, then said: "There is a conflict between you two. You know clearly whether you have taken action or not."

After he said that, he glanced at Lai Shanchuan, then looked at Yu Lanfang and said, "If you don't want to say it, forget it, but we also have reason to suspect that you have a motive to kill."

"Especially your hesitation now!"

Lai Shanchuan looked serious, pointed his finger at him and said: "Every second you waste will increase suspicion. I hope you will consider it carefully and actively cooperate."

"Even if you don't tell us, we can guess it."

Since Lai Shanchuan played the good guy, Li Xuewu naturally had to play the bad guy: "No one can be found, and the money can't be found. You know what to do in the end."

"Even if the money is really lost, it will leave you with a suspense of doubt and you won't be able to get out."

“That doesn’t count.”

Li Xuewu looked at him and asked, "Are you willing to let your wife sleep in the ground? Do you want to take the blame for the real murderer?"

"Yes... yes... it's her."

Yu Lanfang's body collapsed instantly, she shrunk her neck and said in a suppressed voice: "She...Shuqin...has someone else outside."

"With whom?"

"When?"

"How did you know?"

Lai Shanchuan and Li Xuewu exchanged a glance, then raised his eyebrows and asked urgently: "Why didn't you tell me when I asked you earlier?"

"Yes……"

Yu Lanfang spread out her trembling hands to support the table and explained slowly: "I don't know who it was with, it's been a long time."

"I... I actually know, but... Alas~"

He sighed deeply and said intermittently: "On the 29th, I thought that she was going to leave and she was going to follow him."

"Who are you going with?"

Lai Shanchuan frowned and asked, "You don't know?"

"I don't know. I don't know."

Yu Lanfang slowly raised her head, looked at them with tears in her eyes, and said: "Someone from the supply and marketing cooperative came on the 30th and said that she was missing, and I had a hunch."

"Because you hit her?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's going on between you two? Why did you say you had a feeling she was going to leave?"

"I... hurt myself... during training."

Yu Lanfang said with some embarrassment: "I...can't be humane. She said she was going out to find someone, and I...acquiesced."

"When did it start?"

Li Xuewu knocked on the table and asked, "How long has it been since you were injured? How long has it been since now?"

"Five or six years. Five or six years have passed since then."

Yu Lanfang took a deep breath and said, "In the first two years, she was fine and took care of my feelings, but later on, resentment built up and we kept quarreling, both small and big. Sigh~"

"It's all my fault. I hurt her~"

Yu Lanfang said with a face full of sorrow: "I should have let her go earlier. I shouldn't have cared about my face and held on to her. It was me~"

The reason was beyond Li Xuewu's expectations, but the situation was within his expectations.

He knew that opera actors needed to practice, but he didn't know how to practice, as it would ruin their human abilities.

Is there a "Sunflower Manual" in opera?

Yu Lanfang has been an orphan since childhood. She was picked up by a drama troupe. By chance, she became a disciple and learned the craft from a master.

They were married, and the couple lived in harmony and love each other very much. They didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly.

At the beginning, he was generous and advised his wife to divorce and marry another good man and not to bother him.

But at that time, the two of them were sharing hardships. Zhang Shuqin had something to say to him. It is better to marry a good woman than a cheating wife. In her current situation, she would suffer if she married anyone else.

No matter how many difficulties a young couple has, they are still more intimate than a couple who get married later in life.

Zhang Shuqin said she didn't want to leave because she was afraid that if she left they would both regret it and suffer, so they just went on with their lives like that.

Love, without the nourishment of love, will slowly fade away.

The emptiness at the beginning cannot outweigh the mutual support, but as time goes by, people's hearts change.

Within two years, Zhang Shuqin couldn't stand it anymore, and as soon as her work became stable, she asked for a breakup.

At this time, Yu Lanfang was unwilling to do it. The courage she had just mustered to let go was shaken by Zhang Shuqin. Now she no longer had the courage to face the rumors alone.

One wants to leave and the other won't let him go. Do you think life can be easy?

They quarreled over small matters and big matters. Zhang Shuqin wanted to divorce, so Yu Lanfang went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The units at that time were different from those in later generations. They controlled everything from your marriage to your divorce.

If an employee in the company abandons her husband, everyone will feel ashamed and even the leader will be embarrassed.

So the organization took turns persuading Zhang Shuqin, doing work for her, and also providing some help.

What can Zhang Shuqin do now that things have come to this? The organization's intention is very clear. If she dares to get a divorce, I'm afraid this unit will not be able to accommodate her.

She could only swallow her anger and continue to live a miserable life of sleeping in the same bed but having different dreams.

But I don’t know when it started, but Yu Lanfang suddenly found that Zhang Shuqin’s temper had calmed down a lot.

At first he thought that his persistence had a positive result and that his wife would tolerate and understand him.

But later he realized something was wrong. Judging from what his neighbors said and what he himself felt from Zhang Shuqin, she had someone else outside.

Yu Lanfang had asked her before, but every time she either denied it outright, remained silent, or started arguing.

The argument got intense, and Zhang Shuqin was cursing at all costs, but he was afraid of the bad influence, so he endured it all.

You can't do those things. The couple don't work in the same unit. You can't watch him or prevent him. His heart is not with him. What's the point of watching him?

Feeling guilty and apologetic towards his wife, he no longer cared about the matter and focused on his acting career.

I don’t know if it was God playing a joke on him, but despite the discord between him and his wife, his career has flourished.

He gradually became a mainstay in the group and even gained some fame.

At this time, even if he wanted to make a fuss, he didn't dare to. The couple lived their own lives, and the couple lived in peace for a while.

As his fame grew and his progress became faster and faster, when he heard that his wife brought another man home, all his concern burst out at once.

He questioned his wife why she bullied him like that and why she didn't give him any face at all.

Zhang Shuqin was also full of anger, but she endured it silently, while Yu Lanfang became more successful and more glorious.

What should have been a happy event for her husband became a pressure that she had to face.

More and more people knew that she was Yu Lanfang's wife, and the reputation that she had not paid attention to before now had a counterproductive effect.

Outsiders looked at her with contempt and disdain, thinking that she had betrayed Yu Lanfang, and all the criticism was directed at her.

How could Zhang Shuqin bear this humiliation? She gave up hope and started to deliberately bring people home.

Most of what the neighbors saw was deliberately allowed to be seen by Zhang Shuqin, who also deliberately let Yu Lanfang know about it.

According to Yu Lanfang, he filed for divorce at the end of last year and set Zhang Shuqin free.

But Zhang Shuqin refused. On the one hand, Yu Lanfang's salary was high, and on the other hand, it was out of revenge and unwillingness.

Yu Lanfang now understands what his wife means. It is hatred for him. Hatred comes from love. The more she loved him in the beginning, the more she hates him today.

He admitted that he had beaten Zhang Shuqin more than once, the last time being on the night of the 28th because he found men's clothes at home.

"But I promise, I didn't kill anyone."

Yu Lanfang looked at Li Xuewu and said seriously: "From the moment she threatened to make my situation public and even kept bringing men home to deliberately retaliate against me, I knew I had to let go."

"What about threats?"

Li Xuewu looked at him and asked, "Don't you think her threats are powerful and will have an impact on your career?"

"Haha~"

Yu Lanfang laughed bitterly, took a deep breath and said: "Even if she didn't say it, how could she hide it from others? It's just for face."

After saying that, he looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Actors are of the lowest class. It is the new era that has given us an identity and allowed us to live as human beings."

“But in our industry, how many people can really come out and break free from the shackles of their hearts?”

"This half-crippled body"

He looked down at himself and said, "Compared to others, I am nothing, but at least I am still a man."

Li Xuewu didn't understand this psychological preparation. He turned his head and looked at Lai Shanchuan, who nodded.

It seems that this circle is really in chaos. It is not a mess that has only occurred in later generations. It is chaotic from the root.

"In my case, my illness is not embarrassing, and I can get sympathy."

Yu Lanfang said frankly: "If I divorce Zhang Shuqin, I won't suffer any loss. If she makes a fuss, she will be the one who suffers in the end."

Li Xuewu agreed with this point. Zhang Shuqin had ruined her own reputation, and if she went to make trouble with Yu Lanfang, she would only be digging her own grave.

"On the evening of the 28th, she suddenly lost her usual silence and asked me to find a convenient time to divorce her."

Yu Lanfang closed her eyes slightly and said, "She said she was relieved and didn't want to live with me anymore. I understand what she meant."

As he spoke, he opened his eyes again, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "People like us are now rats crossing the street, so her resentment will naturally disappear."

"You don't want a divorce again?"

Li Xuewu listened to his story and it was like watching a fucking Korean drama. It’s just a marriage, how could it be so complicated?
However, neither of the couple is generous. After their separation, they did not wish each other well, which is why they are in this situation today.

Yu Lanfang paused and said, "I am willing and I agree. I am tired and it will be better if we get divorced."

"and then?"

Lai Shanchuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Does Zhang Shuqin intend to run away from home? Or does she intend to take the money and run away?"

"Just a reminder"

Li Xuewu knocked on the table and said to Yu Lanfang: "If you are sure that you are innocent, then there must be someone appearing between you and your wife."

"You should think carefully about whether Zhang Shuqin has any intention of leaving you and leaving the capital, and whether that person has any intention of threatening her or inciting her to leave the capital."

"I do not know"

Yu Lanfang frowned somewhat painfully, thinking hard about this question, trying to recall the last night they spent together.

“It must have something to show for it”

Li Xuewu enlightened him, "According to our investigation, Zhang Shuqin's documents, clothes, etc. have not been moved, and she has not even expressed her intention to leave to anyone in the unit."

"Leaving... Impossible"

Yu Lanfang thought for a while and said, "I don't have parents, but she does. Her two younger brothers are useless and they all rely on her for support."

"Well, keep talking"

Lai Shanchuan felt that he had grasped the key points and could continue to dig deeper.

"The documents... are all there. She didn't show any abnormal behavior on the 29th."

Yu Lanfang recalled: "I didn't really hit her as in the slap you mentioned. How could I really hit her?"

"clothing"

Li Xuewu reminded him, "You said you saw the man's clothes. Where are they?"

"Gone"

Yu Lanfang shook her head and said, "It was gone the next day. She must have put it away."

"not at all"

Lai Shanchuan said: "We went to your house to search, and all the items registered and filed at that time were registered and identified by you, all."

“I really don’t know where she took it.”

Yu Lanfang said: "If she stuffed it into the stove, I would never have known."

This is indeed possible. Lai Shanchuan glanced at him and did not pursue the issue any further. Instead, he motioned for him to continue.

"The divorce is agreed upon, but there is no rush. She will also need to find a house after the divorce, so it is impossible for her to leave Beijing."

Yu Lanfang hesitated and said, "She can't bear to leave her job at the supply and marketing cooperative, and she won't abandon her parents."

"As for the money she defrauded, and whether anyone forced her to do it..."

Yu Lanfang thought for a while and said, "My salary has always been with her. Actually, our family is not short of money."

"Even if they get divorced, she won't worry about money, so I don't believe that she would defraud money."

He said very seriously: "As for forcing her, it is impossible. She has a very strong character, how could she compromise?"

“The only problem is deception.”

Yu Lanfang thought for a while and said, "Actually, both of us are very stupid. We don't have any tricky ideas, otherwise we wouldn't have come to this point today."

"If you say she was deceived, I can't guarantee that there is no such possibility..."

"Is there a target of suspicion?"

Lai Shanchuan asked: "Relatives, friends, or even the person you heard about."

“Haha, it’s been almost two months.”

Yu Lanfang said helplessly: "Here, I will tell you everything I know and everyone I can think of."

"Except for today's incident, of course."

He nodded and admitted: "It is a bit difficult for me to say this, let alone ask this."

"I hope so"

Lai Shanchuan glanced at Li Xuewu, stood up and said: "Don't think about deceiving us anymore, otherwise it will not only be you who will be delayed."

"That~!"

Seeing the two people getting up to leave, Yu Lanfang raised her hand and said, "Shuqin's funeral affairs...?"

"Hold on"

Lai Shanchuan watched Li Xuewu go out first, then turned around and said to Yu Lanfang: "The forensic doctor is still looking for clues. We'll talk about it when we have some."

After saying this, he followed Yu Lanfang out of the interrogation room without caring about her expression.

In the lounge area of ​​the hall, Li Xuewu was sitting there smoking. Lai Shanchuan glanced at him and sat in the row in front of him.

"What are the chances that it's Yu Lan Fang?"

Lai Shanchuan lit a cigarette for himself, turned around, leaned back in his chair and looked at Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "I can't imagine his motive~"

"Betrayal? Threat? Or is there something else going on?"

Lai Shanchuan took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Maybe he's too good at disguising himself. Is he hiding something from us?"

"for example?"

Li Xuewu moved his gaze to Lai Shanchuan's face and asked, "Did he conceal this fact, or did he know the person who went to his house?"

"Hard to say"

Lai Shanchuan narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Especially that piece of clothing, it may not be hidden by Zhang Shuqin."

"By hiding this, are we cutting off his clues to killing Zhao Ziliang?"

Li Xuewu shook his chin and said, "We may not be able to find anything at the train station, including Zhili."

"Yeah~"

Lai Shanchuan sighed and said, "It's been too long. Zhao Ziliang has to run away to the countryside again. If he really dies in some mountain village, we'll never find him in our lifetime."

"That's a good thing, right?"

Li Xuewu looked at Lai Shanchuan with a smile and said, "Now that Yu Lanfang is cleared of suspicion, you can also close the case."

Lai Shanchuan looked at Li Xuewu with raised eyes and said nothing, as he always felt that there was something else behind his words.

Of course, he also understood Li Xuewu's personality, and he knew that he had overheard the solution to the case that he had discussed with Director Zheng.

It doesn't matter. We can't let the whole team suffer just for his own face.

If any problems arise in the future, he will have to bear the responsibilities and suffer the consequences. After all these years, are there not enough problematic cases?
There is no such thing as not being punished in this line of work. Being on the front line, especially in the position he is in, this is not a job that a good person can do.

Even though Li Xuewu is sitting there and making sarcastic remarks, if he were really asked to sit in this position, he would also be very worried.

Li Xuewu was the deputy director of the Public Security Department at the beginning, so why didn’t he come to work?
Do you think he really will keep the work in his own hands and not share it with Li Xuewu? It's not a hot commodity. He is the boss and he will always get all the benefits.

Li Xuewu is a cunning man. He couldn't get anything out of Yu Lanfang just now. Do you think he will still listen to what I say about how to deal with Zhang Shuqin's funeral?

Lai Shanchuan knew very well that the question he asked, even though Li Xuewu had not given an answer, was already the answer.

Yu Lanfang, has no motive for committing the crime.

Not to mention betrayal and threats, the fact that they were just a couple had spread everywhere as early as the time he agreed to it.

If they really cared, the couple would have settled the matter long ago. Why wait until Zhao Ziliang was about to go on a business trip?

Compared with Zhao Ziliang's sudden disappearance, Yu Lanfang's suspicion has been greatly reduced.

Lai Shanchuan's silence in response to Li Xuewu was the answer. He had already made the decision in his heart.

Li Xuewu also realized that his support this time was in vain, but the result was still good, at least he found a reason to close the case.

He sat in the hall waiting, just to see Lai Shanchuan's opinion. If there was nothing else, he would go home.

Anticlimactic?

That doesn't exist. This case has been a complicated matter from the beginning to the end. All parties involved are exhausted from dealing with it and just want to close the case as soon as possible.

Is this case difficult?
Li Xuewu didn't think that his support here provided them with much help. His only role was to help them find a reason to close the case.

If Lai Shanchuan had come up with this reason alone, it would have been difficult for him to explain to his superiors.

Even if we invite experts from above to provide assistance, they may not be willing to endorse them.

As a rookie expert in his department, he had some fame, and Lai Shanchuan was very particular and always supported him.

Therefore, those investigators rushed out this afternoon, all thinking about passing the test through a sieve and then signing for confirmation.

All the evidence combined together, even if the money is not found, the crime tools and the first scene are not found, there can still be an explanation.

Because the perpetrator ran away, they have been confused all the time, and the murderer they identified has enough reasons to commit the crime.

Zhao Ziliang, who had an affair with Zhang Shuqin, learned about the credit union's procedures through his wife Du Xiaoyan. He often traveled on business and had rich experience in going out...

Putting all the situations together, I believe that the credit society, the supply and marketing society, and the higher-ups will also be satisfied with the result.

As for Yu Lanfang, he had saved his life and ended his disharmonious marriage. What was there for him to be dissatisfied about?

Du Xiaoyan was in the wrong herself. Her husband is missing. What can she do to seek justice?

If everyone agrees and is satisfied, then the case will be perfect.

Li Xuewu accompanied the silent Lai Shanchuan as he took the last puff of his cigarette, put out the cigarette butt, stood up and was about to leave.

Just after taking two steps, Lai Shanchuan's voice came from behind: "I'm not a good police officer, right?"

How should Li Xuewu respond to this?

Does that mean he is a good leader?

Li Xuewu couldn't say anything against his will. The stab he had stabbed himself in the first place was not something a good leader would do.

As for making sarcastic remarks, that's not necessary, he's not that petty.

Without stopping, Li Xuewu turned back and waved to him with a slight smile as a farewell.

Good and bad should never be used to describe people. At least in his heart, there is no distinction between good people and bad people in this world.

Those who do good things are not necessarily good people, and those who do wrong things are not necessarily bad people, but those who do wrong things and do not repent are definitely not good people.
-
After leaving the police station on Thursday, Li Xuewu no longer cared about the case.

There is no need for him to sign anything, let alone make any endorsement speech.

The police station will definitely include his name when they prepare the case closing report.

But he is no longer a member of this system, at least the affiliation is not that direct. It is just a name of supporting the case, let alone taking any responsibility.

Although there are still some doubts in his mind, this case has nothing to do with him anymore.

Early on Sunday morning, Li Xuewu woke up from his bed in the guesthouse, stretched himself, and then yawned.

Zhang Songying was nearly knocked unconscious by his blow and kicked him hard under the quilt.

"You did it on purpose!"

"Hiss~ be gentle!"

Li Xuewu grimaced in pain and said in disgust: "I'm not wearing any pants!"

"Did the kick hurt?!"

Zhang Songying was stunned when she saw his expression. She didn't really use any strength just now.

She knew that this bad guy would tease her, but she was still worried, so she lifted the quilt and crawled in, asking, "Here?"

"Sigh~~~"

Li Xuewu suddenly widened his eyes and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

"Down~up~that's it! Yes~yes~"

"this?"

Zhang Songying's voice came out from under the quilt, muffled and with a hint of doubt: "Can I kick this far?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Li Xuewu said with a wicked smile: "Let's see if it's swollen from the kick."

"..."

Zhang Songying knew that this person was not a good person and had deceived her again.

But she is a kind person. Even if it is not her fault, can she just sit there and do nothing while watching others get hurt?
After washing up, Zhang Songying had already gone to put on makeup, still wearing the same set of equipment. She had gone to Guangzhou and bought a few more magical items.

"Who won and who lost last night?"

Zhang Songying glanced at Li Xuewu in the mirror and asked, "The deputy director of the division doesn't look right. Is he angry because of his loss?"

"Really? I didn't notice~"

Li Xuewu adjusted his leather jacket, looked at the mirror from the side, and said casually: "I only won less than twenty, but you took it all away~"

"Director Li won a lot, I'm afraid he must be in his 50s."

He took the wooden comb on the table and combed his hair, returning to his lightning-struck hairstyle.

Zhang Songying raised her head and looked at Li Xuewu and said angrily: "You don't have any money in your pocket, and you just won that twenty yuan?"

"That's not the case!"

Li Xuewu was not embarrassed at all, and said seriously: "Don't you know that I am famous for getting something for nothing?"

"Now I know~"

Zhang Songying asked with amusement: "Everyone is happy if you win, but what if you lose?"

"How can I lose when playing with them?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly: "It looked like a money-giving game last night. Those who lost money are all fools!"

"Eh~~~"

Zhang Songying curled her lips and said, "They are pointing the finger at the leader. Aren't you afraid that the leader will hate you if you intercept them?"

"He'll be mad if I don't intercept him!"

Li Xuewu threw away the wooden comb in his hand and explained to Zhang Songying: "The deputy director of the division has never played with Director Li, so he doesn't know Director Li's temper."

As he spoke, he took the bag from the cabinet and put on his leather shoes.

"Director Li is a weak person, but he hates people who are weak like him in the poker game. I saved the deputy director's life last night."

"It's just bullshit~"

Zhang Songying stood up, took the money from the bedside table and called Li Xuewu who was about to leave, "You haven't taken the money yet~"

"If you grab it, it's yours"

Li Xuewu smiled and turned back and said: "Think about me making you rich. Next time you win more, I will give you a lot to grab."

"Then this is considered illegal income~"

Zhang Songying smiled and said, "It just so happens that I have an appointment with Qin Huairu to get her hair done today. We can have a nice meal outside and then go shopping to buy fabrics to make clothes."

“I have to spend it all~”

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you, spendthrift woman~"

"Who are you talking about!~"

Zhang Songying wanted to chase him angrily, but Li Xuewu had already gone out and locked her in the door.

"Humph~"

She pouted angrily, put the money in her hand and continued to draw her eyebrows.

Last night Director Li entertained several cadres from the branch factories who came for a meeting and asked Li Xuewu to join them.

They drank a lot of wine, and after the party they went upstairs to play cards and chat.

Zhang Songying had already been preparing for the opening of the Six Nations Hotel, so she had not been on duty here for a long time.

But knowing that Li Xuewu was not going home last night, she of course stayed for a long time.

Qin Huairu was on duty last night, but she didn't go upstairs. On the one hand, it was inconvenient and she didn't like being together, and on the other hand, it didn't want to be annoying.

The current Li Xuewu is no longer the little brother he used to be. Unlike Zhang Songying, she does not have that much money to play with.

Watching Li Xuewu go downstairs, Qin Huairu came out of the office and invited him to the cafeteria for dinner.

Li Xuewu looked at his watch, waved his hand and said he was in a hurry.

Qin Huairu didn't know what Li Xuewu was busy with all day. He didn't even have time to eat breakfast on the weekend.

If you are in a hurry to go home, isn't it a bit late at this time?

Li Xuewu certainly didn't go home. He called home last night, but Han Jiankun didn't go back either, so Qin Jingru stayed at the shipping warehouse.

Last week, Yu Li complained to him that he was a hands-off boss and was becoming more and more like a capitalist, and she even had to come to his house to report on her work.

In fact, he also understood Yu Li's inconvenience. He was not blind. Even Han Jiankun could see Qin Jingru's cautious look.

When sending Yu Li back, Han Jiankun took the initiative to talk to her for a few words in order to ease the relationship. This was a rare initiative from him as he practiced the art of silence.

So don't wait until Yu Li gets annoyed and starts to bother with him. She has an appointment with Lou Yu and his wife, so it's better to go early, otherwise she will have to deal with something else and can't avoid it.

The command vehicle came out of the guesthouse and headed out, and at the gate it happened to meet the second group of kids who came to the factory to visit and study.

Li Xuewu looked at these progressive students with clear foolish eyes and wondered how many more terms this reception station run by the Foreign Affairs Office could last?

If you keep forcing people to work so hard, they will stink in the streets sooner or later!
"The earthen kang is not good at all!"

"It's a shabby house, there's no air conditioning!"

"I don't want to eat steamed buns, I want to eat bread!"

……

As soon as Li Xuewu got off the car, he saw Lou Yu coaxing a little rascal.

It's not that he has no moral integrity. The child that Lou Yu was coaxing was wearing a hat with two rabbit ears.

Lou Yu had already seen his car as it entered the yard, and was now waiting for him.

"Wow! This hat is amazing!"

Li Xuewu looked at the little rabbit with a smile. He didn't greet Lou Yu, but teased him with a word "child" first.

Lou Ting also noticed that a car entered the yard. He saw a tall, ferocious-looking man get out of the car and immediately hid behind his grandfather.

He had heard about it from his family members and had also seen it in photo albums, and it seemed that people dressed like this were most likely called Dashuai.

It's "Dashuai", a noun, not an adjective.

His grandmother told him that most of these generals came from bandit backgrounds, just like the man in front of him.

He wore a tower hat on his head, had scars on his face, wore a woolen coat, had leather gloves in his hands, and wore big leather shoes on his feet.

He knew from childhood that beards eat children.

Lou Yu held his eldest grandson who was hiding behind him in his arms, and looked at Li Xuewu with complicated eyes. Both grandfather and grandson looked a little afraid.

"When did you arrive?"

Li Xuewu grinned, and scared Lou Ting so much that he didn't dare to look at him. He teased the child and asked, "Did everything go smoothly along the way?"

“Everything is fine”

Lou Yu looked down at his eldest grandson, pulled his hand and taught him: "Call... call uncle."

"I don't call!"

Lou Ting didn't dare to look at Li Xuewu. He shook off his grandfather's hand and ran towards the room where he lived yesterday.

After getting on the ship from the port city, he was trapped in the cabin like a piglet. He dared not cry or shout.

He eats obediently when given food and doesn't dare to cry out when hungry. It's rare that he has become well-behaved after all these years.

As soon as he got off the boat, he was stuffed into a car again. Even his mouth was blocked. He dared not shed tears until he met his grandfather.

This was a real relative. I cried five or six times and ate three big steamed buns before I stopped.

'No rules'

Lou Yu watched his grandson run away and scolded him helplessly. Then he looked at Li Xuewu apologetically and said, "He needs discipline. He has been spoiled by his father."

"Children are just small, so teach them slowly."

Li Xuewu raised his hand and gestured: "Please wait for me first, I will come to you after having meal in the restaurant."

"Let's go and eat at home"

Lou Yu patted Li Xuewu's arm gently, sighed and said, "He is spoiled and can't eat whole grains. Let his grandmother make breakfast for him."

“That’s great.”

Li Xuewu smiled, without any politeness, and followed him into the yard.

These days, Lou Yu had been living alone in a room here. Later, something happened in Gangcheng, and Tan Yali was worried, so she came down from the mountain to accompany him.

He also heard about what his daughter did in Gangcheng, and was afraid that something might happen to the old man, so they were waiting for Li Xuewu here together. They could be considered as one husband and wife, sharing the joys and sorrows.

During the greetings, Lou Yu did not express any dissatisfaction or complaints towards his wife, daughter or even himself. He just complained about his grandson's failure to live up to expectations.

Li Xuewu didn't respond to him. He just listened and hummed and laughed to support him.

As soon as I entered the yard where they lived, I saw Lou's mother waiting at the door, and I greeted her with a smile.

"Mom, are you waiting for me?"

"Ah... I just heard Lou Ting say you're here. Haven't you eaten yet? Come on, I'll serve you some."

Tan Yali was stunned when Li Xuewu called her mother. She looked at her lover awkwardly and called Li Xuewu into the house.

Lou Yu didn't care about this. This call was meant for him to hear, and it was very meaningful.

Show off? Threaten? Or appease?

The die is cast, and now that things have come to this, what else can he say?
