Qin Huairu came out of the alley with a sullen face and looked up at the gloomy sky. Thinking about what the aunt just said, she felt flustered.
What does he... mean?
You haven't come back for a few days. Did you go out to avoid the limelight, or did you abandon me?
Aren't they afraid...
"Oh!"
After standing at the entrance of the alley for a long time, Qin Huairu, whose face was uncertain, suddenly laughed miserably. She clenched the handlebars hard with her palms, her knuckles turning white. Then she slowly withdrew her eyes, raised her legs and got on the bicycle, walking towards the distance.
go.
However, she did not go back to her work, but went straight back home.
Stepping back into this cage-like small courtyard that she once loved but now hated so much, Qin Huairu looked around at the furnishings in the lower courtyard with an expressionless face. She didn't even bother to park the car and leaned against the wall.
, dragging his heavy thoughts and frowning, he walked into the house.
A few moments.
She returned to the west room, sat down on the edge of the sofa, and stared blankly.
The pendulum of the clock on the wall was ticking and swaying, and the warm sunlight poured into the room from the translucent glass window, casting a brilliant golden color all over the floor, but it could not shine on her.
After a while, Qin Huairu's dull eyes suddenly turned, and she stood up slowly. She walked to the chest of drawers, reached out and opened a drawer, groped inside, and quickly took out a drawer from the secret compartment.
Just a small iron box.
Opening the box gently, there were more than 2,000 yuan, 300 kilograms of national food stamps, and two small yellow croakers weighing one or two.
These were all exchanged for things she had tried her best to collect during these days. Some were stolen from a warehouse in the steel rolling mill, and some were given by others.
It’s all her savings!
Qin Huairu looked at the contents of the box hesitantly.
She wants to leave.
I want to leave here, go to a place where I don’t know anyone, and start a new life.
However, she couldn't let go of those three children.
"Why!"
After a long time, she sighed quietly, closed the box again, and put it back in the dark compartment. In the end, she was not cruel enough.
"Dongdongdong!"
At this time, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
Qin Huairu frowned and turned to the courtyard door to open the door.
The person who came was one of Li Fugui's subordinates. He unscrupulously and greedily stared at the plump and attractive body of the widow in front of him, and said with a squinting look: "Sister Qin, Director Li asked me to inform you that I will take him with you tonight."
People come here to eat.”
The expression on Qin Huairu's face froze for a moment when she heard this, and then relaxed weakly. After taking a deep breath, she nodded expressionlessly: "I know!"
After saying that, she closed the door hard to block out the malicious gaze.
Not long after, when the man had gone away, she opened the door again and left the house in a hurry.
…
It's night, the sky is dark and the stars are miserable.
"Master Chu, I have basically found out the source of the rumors. There are three people in total, all of whom are famous for their long tongue. One is Bao Guiying who lives in Changshou Street, and the other is Huang Yuqin who lives in Canggan Alley. Finally,
One is Zhu Haixia from Douzi Hutong."
In the dimly lit room, Du San was carefully reporting to Chu Heng the investigation status of the past few days.
"The situation is similar to what you guessed. They did receive the benefits and deliberately spread rumors to taint you."
"Also, the person who came to find them was Du Hao, the third son of Lao Du's family whom Widow Qin visited today, so I guess she was also looking for Du Hao."
"Finally revealed!"
A fierce light shot out of Chu Heng's eyes. The reason why he had not touched Qin Huairu these days was because he was trying to force the person behind her out. He immediately asked with a stern face: "What does this Du Hao do?"
Du San gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "Ya used to be a little naughty boy in the city, and he played with me for a while, but since his family made a mistake and was arrested a few months ago, he has disappeared!"
"I took good care of him at first, but I didn't expect that my grandson would turn out to be a white-eyed wolf!"
Chu Heng frowned and asked: "Where is the person? Have you caught him?"
"Run away."
Du Sanyin said with a sullen face: "The grandson bought a train ticket to Yangcheng four days ago. Someone saw him getting on the train at 11 o'clock that night. I have organized people here to prepare to chase him. Tonight
Let’s go on the way.”
"Chasing my ass!"
Chu Heng waved his hand irritably: "From Sijiu City to Yangcheng, there are many stops along the way. Do you know if you got off the bus halfway? And even if you go to Yangcheng, it has taken so long to get there, and people will have already arrived.
He has disappeared, and trying to find him is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Let him come back as soon as possible. This guy is probably not the real one behind the scenes, so there is no need to waste too much energy."
"Okay, I understand." Du San nodded lightly. In fact, he also knew that it was basically impossible to find Du Hao in the vast sea of people. But the elder didn't say anything, so he could only continue to search, even if
That grandson went to the ends of the earth, and he had to chase him even if his legs were broken.
Du San secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and quickly asked: "Then what should we do next?"
"Keep staring at Qin Huairu and see if you can dig out something." Chu Heng closed his eyes in frustration and smoked a cigarette, seemingly thinking.
Du San didn't dare to say anything and was waiting quietly.
After a while.
Chu Heng opened his eyes and asked, "When did Du Hao start contacting those three women?"
"Half a month ago!" Du San blurted out.
"Half a month ago..." Chu Heng muttered something and said in deep thought: "Check who he has been in contact with and what he has done in the past month, down to the smallest details!"
"Understood!" Du San nodded vigorously.
"That's it, I have to leave first."
Chu Heng stood up with a dark face, strode out of the house, waited for Volga who was parked at the door, and walked straight away.
After returning to Xiaolihua all the way, he didn't rush out of the car and entered the hospital. He dug into his pocket and dug out half a package of wrinkled big front door, lit one for himself, and then leaned on the seat, admiring the night.
Sorting out the things at hand.
The top priority is naturally the affairs of the winery. There are currently a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
Secondly, there is the matter of Mrs. Jia. The person behind the scenes who is not known yet must be found out. The other party's methods are too ruthless. If the person is not found quickly, he will have trouble sleeping and eating.
Then there was the big city. He had to take the time to go there and deliver grain and oil. This was his cash cow and could never be shut down.
“I’m so busy!”
Chu Heng puffed out the cigarette with a headache and said, "I have to send a telegram to Yang Qing later to see if I can find a nanny."
At this time, the disadvantages of parents dying early became apparent.
Ni Yinghong's body is getting heavier and heavier, and sometimes he needs someone to take care of him, but he is getting busier and busier. After a while, he may have to go to Penglai or even go abroad. If Ni Yinghong is at home alone, he will
