Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

"Xue Ru, you really don't want to go with me?"

Mr. Hou grabbed Chen Xueru's hands and said reluctantly.

"Wait until you come back next time. You came back a little too hastily this time, and I'm not ready yet."

Chen Xueru declined politely. She was reluctant to leave the hometown where she was born and raised all of a sudden.

Besides, she also had her own silk shop and had to take care of the business, so she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

"Okay, then take care of yourself here and wait for me to come back."

There was a flash of determination in Mr. Hou's eyes. Since you don't want to go with him, don't blame him for being rude.

Chen Xueru was immersed in the sadness of separation and did not notice Mr. Hou's strangeness. She nodded and said solemnly:

"Okay, I'll wait here for you to come back."

The two of them parted reluctantly. After watching Mr. Hou leave, Chen Xueru returned to Chen's Silk Shop.

After walking through several streets, Mr. Hou returned to his home again, rummaged through the drawers and packed up all the valuables in the house.

He had originally intended to come back this time to make a decision. Since Chen Xueru was unwilling to leave with him, he would go back by himself.

Besides, he has made so many contributions to them, and now he has these money. Maybe they have promised him that he won’t have to worry about the rest of his life!

After packing up everything, Mr. Hou left.

But just as he reached the intersection, he was caught by Bai Ling and others. Looking at the police who suddenly appeared, Mr. Hou was confused and said hurriedly:

"Comrade, why are you arresting me?!

Did you arrest the wrong person?!"

"Mr. Hou, we are arresting you. Come with us!"

Bai Ling handcuffed Mr. Hou skillfully and with a wave of her hand, she took him directly to the police station.

Chen's Silk Shop.

Chen Xueru was greeting guests when suddenly a neighbor ran over panting and said breathlessly:

"Chen Xueru, go home quickly, Mr. Hou has been arrested!"

"what?"

"Mr. Hou has been arrested."

It was like a bolt from the blue. Chen Xueru stood there, unable to react for a while.

Mr. Hou was arrested?

Why were you arrested?

Didn't he leave?

"Xue Ru, Xue Ru..."

Seeing Chen Xueru standing there in a daze, the man immediately stretched out his hand and waved in front of Chen Xueru:

"You'd better go home quickly. I heard that Mr. Hou took away all the valuables in the house."

After hearing the last sentence, Chen Xueru came to her senses and ran home without thinking.

When I saw the house in a mess with everything thrown on the ground, I felt a little overwhelmed.

She hurriedly opened the cabinets and boxes. All the places where she usually put things were now empty.

At this moment, Chen Xueru finally realized that Mr. Hou had really run away with her family’s belongings!

All the valuables were taken away without leaving anything for her!

Sitting on the ground, Chen Xueru looked like a withered flower, her face full of dejection.

How did things turn out like this?

They were clearly being affectionate last night.

Just now, they were reluctant to leave.

How come everything changed in the blink of an eye?

Or did she never see through Mr. Hou? !

Chen Xueru, distraught, sat on the ground, motionless.

This is what Xu Huizhen saw when she came in:

"Xue Ru, what is going on?

Did Mr. Hou really run away?"

"Ah."

Chen Xueru nodded numbly, tears streaming down her face:

"Xu Huizhen, why are men like this?!

He was fine the moment before, but the next moment, he turned against me!

I was so sincere and kind to him.

He actually took away all the valuables and even thought about escaping!!!"

"Mr. Hou is such a piece of shit. If you want to cry, just cry as much as you can. You still have to live your life as usual!"

Xu Huizhen did not give too much advice. When it comes to matters of the heart, no matter how much others say, it is useless. One has to think it through and see things in a positive light on his own.

And she believed in Chen Xueru. After all, they were best friends, and they were both strong-willed.

She had also experienced betrayal, so she could especially understand Chen Xueru's feelings at this moment.

At this time, what Chen Xueru needed most was not comfort, but an outlet to vent her emotions!

"Wow......"

Sure enough, after Xu Huizhen finished speaking, Chen Xueru started crying without any hesitation. The sound was as loud and miserable as it could be.

......

After Bai Ling brought Mr. Hou back to the police station, she began the normal interrogation process.

Soon, the spineless Mr. Hou confessed everything.

"Mr. Hou, does Chen Xueru know what you did?"

Bai Ling looked at Mr. Hou who confessed everything readily and her expression eased a little. He was so cooperative and it was basically the same as what she had found out. This Mr. Hou was nothing special!

"You probably don't know, right?!"

"should?"

"I know this too well. I didn't tell anyone about what I did, so they probably don't know."

Mr. Hou shook his head. In the police station, he seemed extremely honest.

"I advise you to tell the truth, so as to avoid suffering later!"

"Comrade police, I really don't know..."

Seeing this, Bai Ling immediately asked someone to bring Chen Xueru over.

When Chen Xueru sat on the chair in the interrogation room, she was still in a daze:

"Comrade police, what on earth happened?"

"Chen Xueru, Mr. Hou, you should know better than anyone else, right?!"

"I understand. Why don't you understand?!"

When Chen Xueru heard the three words "Mr. Hou", she gnashed her teeth in her tone:

"He took away all the valuables in my house and cruelly abandoned me. He is a scumbag and not worthy of being a human being!!!"

"Chen Xueru, can you calm down?"

Seeing Chen Xueru was a little excited, Bai Ling tapped the table lightly with her hand and said slowly:

"What I want to ask is, do you know what Mr. Hou does?"

"Well, he is..."

"Then do you know that he is collaborating with the enemy and committing treason?!"

"what?!"

Chen Xueru widened her eyes in surprise, a look of disbelief on her face.

If she was surprised that Mr. Hou ran away with the money, she was even more surprised that he colluded with the enemy and committed treason.

The man who had been sleeping beside her for all these years was actually a traitor? !

"Police comrade, you, you said, he is collaborating with the enemy and selling out his country?!"

Chen Xueru couldn't help swallowing and asked with great difficulty.
