Chapter 1379: Frightened Yao Yuling, Wang Sufang Dies

After returning to Ningyang, Zhou Chen left two people on duty in the team, and the rest were given three days off and then went home.

Zhou Chen and his three companions returned to the compound. Before they entered the yard, they saw Yao Yuling standing alone at the gate of the compound, with her head down, kicking stones on the ground.

If it were any other day, Wang Xin would definitely say hello and chat for a few words, but today he was not in the mood for that. He just glanced at her without saying anything and was about to go into the yard.

"Wang Xin."

Yao Yuling hurriedly called out to Wang Xin.

"I have something to ask you."

Wang Xin stopped and Ma Kui glanced at him. Without even looking at Yao Yuling, he walked into the yard.

Zhou Chen glanced at Yao Yuling. He had already guessed what Yao Yuling was going to ask Wang Xin.

In fact, at the end of last year, Yao Yuling had contact with Jia Jinlong and even went to Harbin once and stayed there for several days. At that time, the Harbin police had not yet arrested Jia Jinlong.

Later, a surprise attack arrested Jia Jinlong and his gang of criminals, and Yao Yuling, who had contact with Jia Jinlong, was also taken away for questioning. So Yao Yuling knew that Jia Jinlong had been arrested and knew his true identity.

Although she was also investigated, she was soon released because she had a relationship with Jia Jinlong, but they had not known each other for long and their relationship was not particularly close. After a few days of investigation, no evidence was found to prove that she had any problems, so she was released.

These days, she has been feeling uneasy, often making mistakes at work and being scolded several times.

She was originally attracted by Jia Jinlong's generosity and sweet words. Compared with the sloppy Niu Dali, Jia Jinlong was much better.

But she never expected that Jia Jinlong would actually be a drug dealer, and that he almost got her into jail, which scared her to death.

She had been waiting for Zhou Chen and the others to come back. She didn't dare to ask Ma Kui, and she was too embarrassed to ask Zhou Chen, so she wanted to find Wang Xin to ask about the situation.

He asked hesitantly, but received a very strange look from Wang Xin.

"I'm really not saying anything bad about you, but weren't you dating Niu Dali? Why are you hanging out with Jia Jinlong? What can I say about what you did?"

They are all from the same compound, and Wang Xin really can't stand Yao Yuling's fickle behavior. If you don't want to be with Niu Dali, just say so.

As a result, while dating Niu Dali, he hooked up with Jia Jinlong in Harbin, who turned out to be a drug dealer.

Wang Xin felt that it was unlucky enough that he had a friend like Jia Jinlong, but compared with Yao Yuling, he was nothing.

Yao Yuling said impatiently: "Don't worry about what's going on between me and Niu Dali. Just tell me, has this matter been resolved? Will it not involve me anymore in the future?"

Hearing this, Wang Xin's expression froze. He thought Yao Yuling asked him about this because she was worried about Jia Jinlong, but she didn't expect that she was worried that she would be implicated.

Sure enough, after so many years, Yao Yuling hasn't changed at all.

Wang Xin's thoughts couldn't help but go back to the time when they were dating.

"Don't worry, this case has been closed and will not implicate you anymore."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Yao Yuling patted her chest, feeling relieved. She could finally put her mind at ease after worrying for many days, and her whole spirit became much better.

"Thank you, Wang Xin."

Wang Xin looked a little unnatural, and said, "No, I'll go back first."

"Ok."

Yao Yuling was in a very good mood now. She didn't notice Wang Xin's abnormality and just waved at him happily.

Zhou Chen arrived at the door of his house and saw that it was half-open. He smiled slightly and pushed the door open.

When the door opened, a girl in an apron walked out of the house. It was Zhou Chen's girlfriend, Peng Yongli.

"I'm home."

A simple greeting gave Zhou Chen great peace of mind, just like a wife waiting for her husband to return.

"Ah."

Zhou Chen responded softly, then walked forward and hugged Peng Yongli in his arms.

"I'm fine. I brought you some things, and some that my uncle asked me to bring to you."

Zhou Chen opened his bag and took out items one by one. Some of them were bought by him in Harbin, and some were given by Peng Mingjie.

Peng Yongli took a quick look and asked, "How is my dad?"

"Uncle Peng is very good and in a good mood. I heard that an old classmate of his is doing business in Harbin and he plans to go and learn from him."

Peng Yongli didn't know about her father's affairs, but Peng Mingjie left the prison. He told Peng Yongli that the reason was that he had been in prison for all these years and felt it was too hard, so he applied for internal retirement and planned to have a good rest.

Peng Yongli had no doubts about this. Although Peng Mingjie was the warden of the prison, she actually did not have a good impression of the prison. She even thought that it was a good thing for her father to leave the prison, and it was also nice to have a rest at home. Anyway, she would graduate soon and be able to work and earn money on her own.

Peng Yongli pointed at the dumplings on the table and said to Zhou Chen, "Second Mom knew you were coming back today, so she made a lot of dumplings and asked me to bring some to you."

"Then thank my aunt for me."

Peng Yongli took out the clothes from Zhou Chen's bag and folded them one by one.

She has been dating Zhou Chen for three years, and their relationship has long been known in the compound, so she can enter Zhou Chen's house openly without being gossiped about behind her back.

After three years of being together, she liked Zhou Chen more and more. No matter what problems she encountered, Zhou Chen could help her solve them. With Zhou Chen around, she seemed to have a backer.

In the past, the only one who gave her this feeling was her father, but now, Zhou Chen also had to join the mix.

"I'm going to graduate in a few months, Zhou Chen. When I graduate, we'll get the marriage certificate and hold the wedding, okay?"

Peng Yongli looked at Zhou Chen with anticipation. She couldn't wait to marry Zhou Chen and become his wife.

Zhou Chen held her hands and touched them gently.

"Okay, when you graduate, we'll get married. So how do you want to organize our wedding?"

"Weddings? I haven't really thought about that. I heard that Western-style white wedding dresses seem to be popular now."

Although she talks about getting married, Peng Yongli hasn't even graduated from college after all, and knows very little about marriage.

Zhou Chen asked: "What kind of wedding dress and wedding do you like?"

Peng Yongli thought about it and shook her head, "Forget it. I think weddings in our country are pretty good. They are very prosperous and festive."

"Okay, as long as you like, I'm willing to organize any kind of wedding for you."

Having experienced too many weddings, Zhou Chen has long become indifferent to this form. As long as his significant other likes it, he is willing to comply with it.

Peng Yongli hugged Zhou Chen and said with emotion: "Thank you for always being so good to me. I will always be with you for the rest of my life."

Zhou Chen held her in his arms and said softly, "I will always be with you, forever."

The two hugged each other quietly for a long time before separating.

"I'll go make dumplings for you."

"Ah."

Although Peng Yongli was raised by her father since she was a child, she did not act like a spoiled brat after being with Zhou Chen. She often helped Zhou Chen with housework, cleaning the room, washing clothes and cooking.

In Ma Yan's words, when Lili was in their home, his parents were reluctant to let Lili do anything, but when she was with Zhou Chen, she seemed like a nanny.

During the meal, Peng Yongli suddenly said sadly: "Second Mother's health is getting worse and worse."

Zhou Chen paused for a moment with his chopsticks in his hand, then sighed, "This day will eventually come. Her body is no longer curable."

He knew Wang Sufang's physical condition best. She was almost at the end of her life and it was estimated that she would only live for a few months.

"I know, but I still feel sad. Second Mom is such a good person, how could she die? Cancer is so terrible."

Peng Yongli looked sad. She had lived in the Ma family for more than three years. She had deep feelings for her second parents. They were very kind to her, just like her other parents. Now that her second mother's health had deteriorated, she felt sad and reluctant to leave.

Zhou Chen comforted her softly. Women are often more emotional than men, especially when it comes to relationships. They are more likely to lose their composure and control of their emotions.

The three-day rest period was not achieved after all. On the second day of their rest, they had to go back to work because a new case came.

It was a murder case, and the victim was a homeless man.

Zhou Chen led the people from the Fourth Squadron to conduct an investigation, and they solved the case in just three days.

The murderers were a couple who were having an affair. Two nights before the incident, they were caught by a homeless man while having an affair outside.

The two people who were found panicked and hit the homeless man with a brick, but they hit him too hard and the homeless man fell to the ground and fainted on the spot.

When the two men saw the homeless man being knocked down, they didn't dare to stay and ran away.

But they never expected that such a simple brick could actually kill the homeless man. It couldn't be considered a beating to death, because if he had been sent to the hospital at that time, he could have been cured. The homeless man was simply dragged to death by bleeding.

It’s just that no one paid any attention to the homeless man, and it was not until two days later that he was discovered.

The case was not too complicated. Based on the traces at the scene, Zhou Chen and his team solved the case and caught the murderer within three days.

When the adulterous couple learned that someone had been murdered, they panicked and could not withstand the interrogation and died on the spot.

Now that the truth has been revealed, Zhou Chen and the others naturally don't need to worry about what happens next.

"Still no results in the Ding Guian case?"

Zhou Chen and others sat together to eat. Zhou Chen asked Wang Xin while biting a steamed bun.

Wang Xin shook his head and said, "No, it's really strange, there is no news at all. We also re-investigated the missing person based on your guess, but there is still no corresponding person. Do you think the victim is really not Ding Guian?"

Zhou Chen said: "I have said that this is just speculation. I cannot be sure, but based on my intuition, I think the victim is not Ding Guian. Ding Guian is more like the murderer."

“Intuition, is it really reliable?”

Wang Xin was skeptical. He sometimes had intuition, but even he himself was not sure whether he could believe it.

"Who knows?"

Zhou Chen smiled carefreely, and Wang Xin didn't take it to heart. No matter what the truth was, he would definitely follow up this case to the end.

Since he started working as a police officer, he has encountered many cases, such as major human trafficking cases and drug trafficking cases, each of which was extremely harmful and harmed countless people.

But this dismemberment case had a different weight in his heart, because he had been following it from the beginning and had seen the dismemberment, so he wanted to solve the case very much.

There is a new member in the Fourth Squadron, and now they are a squadron of seven people. Under Zhou Chen's arrangement, each of them has their own division of labor, and their case handling efficiency is no worse than that of the first three squadrons.

After half a year, the Fourth Squadron was getting better and better. Captain Jiang praised Zhou Chen many times and was proud of his sharp vision and insight in discovering Zhou Chen, a good talent.

Peng Yongli has also graduated. Zhou Chen used his connections to assign her to the Railway School to teach Chinese to junior high students. She has become a glorious new Chinese teacher.

She was very satisfied with this job. It was close to home, had little work to do, and she was respected. The only problem was the salary was not that great.

However, for Peng Yongli, who just graduated and has never experienced hard times, she does not think there is anything wrong with the low salary. Instead, she is full of energy and wants to devote her passion to the great cause of education.

After getting a job, she began planning to get married with Zhou Chen and even returned to Harbin, where she received her father's full support.

After Peng Mingjie retired, he did not stay at home all the time. After resting for a while, he went into business with his old classmates. He also went to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange for investigation, as if he was preparing to do fur business.

Zhou Chen was somewhat surprised at Peng Mingjie's vision, because Harbin is indeed more suitable for the fur business, and the reform and opening up there is not as big as in the south and is still in its infancy. If you start now, you will definitely be able to seize the opportunity.

Peng Yongli didn't want her father to work so hard anymore, but Peng Mingjie, who was less than 50 years old, didn't listen to her at all and was unwilling to sit at home. She had no choice but to let her father suffer.

Zhou Chen and Peng Yongli were still preparing for their wedding, but before it happened, Wang Sufang couldn't hold on and passed away suddenly in the hot summer.

Although everyone had been mentally prepared, it was still hard to accept when the day finally came, especially for Ma Kui, Ma Yan and Ma Jian, who felt like they had collapsed, filled with pain and despair.

When Wang Sufang died, all the neighbors in the compound helped and held a grand funeral.

Ma Kui also asked for a month's long vacation, and Zhou Chen asked Captain Jiang to approve the note.

Wang Sufang's death also made Peng Yongli cry until her eyes were swollen. This gentle and kind second mother who was like a mother to her passed away in front of her, which really touched and saddened her deeply.

Because of this incident, she and Zhou Chen postponed their marriage. When she had no classes, she would accompany Ma Yan and Ma Jian to comfort them. Maybe it didn't help much, but she really didn't know what else to do.

Zhou Chen, who was used to seeing life and death, was less touched than others. If one experiences something many times, one's ability to withstand it will naturally far exceed that of ordinary people.

Zhou Chen's heart has become very hard and strong.
