"Ying, it shouldn't be. How old is Xiaotian? He's not sensible at all..." Liu Juan hesitated. She still didn't believe that her son would be taken advantage of by outsiders.

Seeing that Liu Juan was still trying to excuse Xiaotian, He Peng frowned fiercely and said, "Hey! I really don't know what you are thinking about hiding such a big thing from me!"

Liu Juan immediately complained with a look of dissatisfaction: "You still have the nerve to talk to me? Who told you to stay away from home all day? You are also responsible for your son's behavior!"

Seeing Liu Juan looking like she wanted to quarrel, He Peng pinched his eyebrows with a headache, "Well, let's not discuss who is right and who is wrong now, okay? Find Xiaotian first and clarify the matter."

Liu Juan rolled her eyes at him, slammed the door and walked out.

He Peng thought she was angry, so he yelled at her back anxiously, "Daughter-in-law, what are you doing here?"

"Go find your son!" Liu Juan responded angrily and went downstairs.

Without saying anything, He Peng closed the door and went out to look for it together.

As soon as they got off the unit floor, they saw Liu Juan holding the crying Xiaotian with one hand.

The two took Xiaotian back home together.

After coaxing Xiaotian, He Peng suddenly looked serious: "Xiaotian, tell daddy, where did the money you brought home come from?"

"Picked it up." Xiaotian didn't dare to look at his father's expression at all, and a trace of panic flashed across his immature face.

"Picked it up?" Hearing that his son was still planning to continue to lie, He Peng's face suddenly darkened, "Xiaotian. Did Dad ever teach you to be honest?"

Facing He Peng's majestic eyes, Xiaotian lowered his head silently, biting his lips without saying a word.

He Peng pondered for a moment, then suddenly relaxed his tone: "Xiaotian, daddy will ask you one last time, are you really picking up the money?"

"Yeah!" Although Xiaotian is not very old, he can still discern the emotion of the adult at the moment through his tone of voice and micro-expressions.

He heard that He Peng softened his tone and took it for granted that the matter was over.

"Dad, I really picked up the money. I gave it all to mom." Xiaotian answered seriously.

Seeing that his son still refused to say anything, He Peng's heart sank to the bottom.

Hitting a child doesn't reflect his style.

There is no other way to do it.

He Peng patted Xiaotian's head and said softly: "Okay, daddy knows, go play Xiaotian."

Xiaotian looked up at He Peng in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe this was true.

"Go, daddy, let's be serious, go play." He Peng said to Xiaotian in the same tone as usual.

Xiaotian walked toward the door with a look of panic, turning back three times every step of the way, still not believing that this matter had just passed.

After Xiaotian left, the smile on He Peng's face disappeared instantly.

Liu Juan, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask: "He Peng, what are you doing? Didn't you mean to clarify the matter? Why did you let this bastard out again?"

"You won't get anything out of asking him like that." He Peng sighed, turned around and went out.

Liu Juan was confused and had no idea what He Peng was doing.

She turned her head and looked at the calendar, seeing that the New Year was just a few days away, she planned to tidy up the house inside and out, so that she wouldn't have to worry about anything on New Year's Eve.

While sweeping the floor, Liu Juan saw some dust appearing inexplicably on the floor near the bed, and suddenly felt strange.

Her floor is swept almost every day, so why is there dust?

Unless it comes from under the bed.

She then thought of cleaning under the bed as well.

He hid half of his body and reached under the bed, and was surprised to find several cardboard boxes placed at the bottom.

These cardboard boxes seemed to be where she kept some groceries.

There was too little space in the room, so I packed them into a cardboard box and put them under the bed.

After thinking for a while, Liu Juan took out all the cardboard boxes inside.

There was a lot of dust accumulated on the top of the carton, but a few small fingerprints could be faintly seen.

With such a small hand, only Xiaotian can do it.

Liu Juan felt a little strange and hurriedly opened the carton.

At this sight, she was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

Inside this cardboard box, there are a lot of money notes of different denominations!

Liu Juan was so excited that she didn't dare to breathe. She counted them all and found that the money inside totaled several hundred yuan.

He Peng rummaged through his pockets, but he still couldn't come up with ten yuan. Moreover, his monthly salary was all in her hands before he could warm it up, so there was no way he could have so much money.

Combined with the fingerprints left on the dust, Liu Juan had to think of Xiaotian.

She was completely scared now.

Xiaotian might really...be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives!

Liu Juanfei rushed out of the house and went to find Ye Ying.

Ye Ying was quickly pulled home by Liu Juan before she could figure out the situation.

"Ye Ying, you said...you said Xiaotian won't really be targeted by gangsters, right?" Liu Juan pointed to the money in the carton and looked at Ye Ying worriedly.

Ye Ying quickly glanced at the carton and frowned slightly: "Did Xiaotian get all this money back?"

"Yeah. I guess it's him." Liu Juan's face was extremely ugly. "With He Peng's temperament, it's impossible for him to save private money. I'm in charge of all the money he earns!"

"So, I guess that little bastard Xiaotian must be hiding here!"

As she spoke, Liu Juan's forehead shed a few drops of cold sweat.

"No, I have to call He Peng back. This matter is probably not easy."

"Wait a minute, don't worry." Ye Ying took Liu Juan's arm and pointed to several other cardboard boxes, "What are these?"

Liu Juan shook her head, squatted down and opened several other cartons one by one.

There are some books inside.

Popular contemporary magazines and periodicals, such as story telling.

Ye Ying was stunned for a moment.

Liu Juan glanced at each one and closed the box again, "Nothing, just some publications."

After finishing speaking, Liu Juan was about to push a few cartons back under the bed, but was stopped by Ye Ying.

"Wait, let me see."

Ye Ying randomly picked up a 'publication' and started reading.

Otherwise, the main reason is because the publications in the cartons are too new, and on the outside of the cartons, it can be seen that they have been there for a while.

It doesn't matter, Ye Ying actually dug out the 'confidential documents' contained in these publications!

Ye Ying's face changed drastically and she exclaimed: "Liu Juan, hurry up! Take out all the books in the carton and read them over and over!"

Seeing Ye Ying's frightened look, Liu Juan stood up in shock, "What's wrong, Ye Ying? Did you find something extraordinary?"

"See for yourself!" Ye Ying handed Liu Juan the 'private goods' hidden in the book.

Although Liu Juan didn't know a few Chinese characters, when she saw the word 'confidential', she immediately understood something and her face was very ugly.

"It's over, it's all over now." Liu Juan looked sad and wanted to cry without tears: "What should I do now?"
