Liu Dong and his driver Xiao Chen hurried upstairs. Just as they were about to take out their keys and open the door, the door was opened from inside.
It was Tan Rui who opened the door!
Tan Rui was holding a garbage bag in her hand, and it looked like she was going out to throw away the garbage.
Seeing Liu Dong, Tan Rui was also stunned.
"Hey, today is not the weekend. Why are you back in the middle of the night?" Tan Rui put the garbage bag in her hand on the corridor outside the door and asked Liu Dong with a puzzled face.
"Old Tan—" As soon as Tan Rui finished speaking, Liu Dong, who was stunned, came back to his senses and reached out to pull Tan Rui into his arms.
After their children went to college, the two felt that they were old and jokingly called each other Lao Tan and Lao Liu.
Liu Dong hugged a real person.
"Oh, my hands are dirty! Xiao Chen is still here. No matter how old you are, you are not afraid of Xiao Chen's jokes!" Tan Rui laughed and pushed Liu Dong away with the back of her hand.
"Cough! Cough!" Liu Dong coughed awkwardly and let go of Tan Rui, then turned to look at the driver, Xiao Chen.
The surprise came so quickly that he was afraid that he was hallucinating and urgently needed someone to prove it for him.
The driver Xiao Chen looked at Liu Dong and said with a smile: "Secretary, I will go back first and pick you up tomorrow morning!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Liu Dong smiled happily and said three good words to the driver, Xiao Chen.
Liu Dong said three good words in a row.#@$&
"When did you come back?" After Xiao Chen turned around and left, Liu Dong's mood calmed down. His first reaction was that he had received a scam call.
If I hadn't gone home to get my documents, I would have been tricked by a fraud gang into traveling to Northern Xinjiang.
As expected, caring leads to chaos.
"I came back after eight o'clock. Didn't you just finish cleaning up the house and prepare to go out to take out the garbage?" Tan Rui smiled and pointed to the garbage bag on the ground.
"Coming back so late, there must be another drinking party!"%&(&
Tan Rui didn't wait for Liu Dong's answer, and kept talking to herself: "Tell me about you. After so many years, you are still not worrying at all. When there is a wine party, you always drink bald wine and don't talk about eating.
Well, I don’t even know how to eat more food, I must be hungry, I’ll cook you a bowl of noodles!”
While talking, Tan Rui entered the kitchen.
As always, he beat eggs and cut lean meat skillfully. The sound of the chopping board "dong dong dong" was familiar and brisk. For the first time, Liu Dong discovered that the sound was as beautiful as music.
Liu Dong sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at Tan Rui's busy figure, feeling as if he had lost something and found it again.
Not long after, Tan Rui came out of the kitchen with a bowl of soft egg noodles, placed it on the dining table, and invited Liu Dong to eat the noodles.
It still had a familiar taste, but it was especially delicious in Liu Dong's mouth.
"Old Tan, why didn't you call me when you came back? I might as well go to the airport to pick you up." Liu Dong asked Tan Rui while making a fuss.
"Why are you calling me? Today is Monday, you are so busy at work, and the Yan family is so far away from town, why do you need to come back to pick me up?"
Tan Rui smiled and shook his head, "Eat quickly and rest early after eating. You have to go back to Yanjia Town early tomorrow morning, right?"
"I asked for leave from above, so I can spend a few days at home with you!" Liu Dong thought for a while and said.
"No, I can't ask for leave again after you ask for leave. I have to go to work. When I turn around, my boss will say that I am not conscious because of your relationship." Tan Rui replied.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you want!" Liu Dong smiled and nodded.
In the following days, Tan Rui and Liu Dong were at home together on weekends as usual. There was nothing strange about them.
Liu Dong then received calls from Beijiang one after another, asking him why he didn't go there. Liu Dong directly blocked the other party's number.
A month later, the police station where Liu Dong was located called him and asked him to go there.
After Liu Dong went there, he realized that the people who had been calling him were not the fraud gang, but really the police in northern Xinjiang.
It turned out that when I called Liu Dong from Northern Xinjiang, I couldn't get through, so I called the local police and asked them to come forward to find Liu Dong.
The local police station once again told Liu Dong that Tan Rui was dead.
At that time, Liu Dong called Tan Rui in front of the police station staff. The police officers were also surprised. He called the leader of Tan Rui's workplace and learned that Tan Rui was indeed at work, so he informed Beijiang.
There must be a misunderstanding there.
But strangely, the police in northern Xinjiang did not admit that this was a misunderstanding, and even sent over photos of the incident.
In the photo, a woman was wearing a yellow and purple jacket, lying on her back in a barren wasteland, her chest was deeply sunken, and blood was pouring out of the corners of her mouth, nose, eyes, and even ears.
Although the woman's face was covered in blood and most of it was covered by her loose hair, Liu Dong could still recognize that it was indeed his wife Tan Rui.
The yellow and purple jacket she was wearing was a new one that Liu Dong and Tan Rui went to the mall to buy before going out for the long vacation.
In addition to several photos of the scene from different angles, there were also several death certificates and autopsy reports issued by the hospital, both of which proved that the woman was dead.
Tan Rui's ID card, work permit, and other documents are also in the hands of the Northern Xinjiang police.
The moment he saw these things, Liu Dong was a little confused. If these were not misunderstandings, and if Tan Rui was really dead, then who was at home?
Finally, the police in Northern Xinjiang said something even more incredible.
On the night they contacted Liu Dong, the female body disappeared mysteriously. The reason why they contacted the police in western Hunan now was because they had been investigating the disappearance of the female body.
This incident was so strange that not only Liu Dong, but also the staff at the police station found it strange. It did not seem like a misunderstanding.
But in the end it could only be dealt with as a misunderstanding.
After Liu Dong returned home, he also asked Tan Rui about the documents. Tan Rui told Liu Dong that the documents were lost and they should have been lost in northern Xinjiang.
But the day after she came back, she had already applied for all the new documents.
Liu Dong actually ignored a question at that time: if Tan Rui's ID was lost, how could she buy a ticket to return to western Hunan?
Of course, maybe Liu Dong did not really ignore this problem, but was unwilling to face it head-on.
Liu Dong has never believed in evil.
What's more, after he was told that his dead wife was back and standing in front of him, why should he pursue it too much?
It can only be that a woman who wore the same clothes and looked very similar to Tan Rui died, and Tan Rui's ID happened to be lost, so this misunderstanding occurred!
The following days were no different from before. After seeing those photos and proofs, Liu Dong even doubted whether another woman who looked exactly like Tan Rui would come back and pretend to be Tan Rui. But after decades of walking together,
Can't fool anyone.
Tan Rui is Tan Rui, none other than the Tan Rui who has been with him for decades. This chapter has been completed!
