Marriage in crisis

I saw Xiang Dongsheng walking towards me as if nothing had happened, and my jaw almost dropped.

My first reaction was, shouldn’t this Lord leave the island?

But it is true that we did not see him at the ferry dock just now.

I tried my best to suppress my surprise and looked at him intently.

Xiang Dongsheng smiled calmly, walked over to me slowly, and said, "I called the police!"

"Did you call the police?" I murmured.

The thoughts in my head suddenly became tangled like a mess of garbled text. How could he be the one who called the police?

Kang Jianjun asked directly, "How did you know what happened at No. 76?"

"What a coincidence, after leaving you, I took a walk to the Islander's New Village. I wanted to take a look at the environment and living order there." Xiang Dongsheng said it quite frankly. Not only did he make it clear that he did meet Kang Jianjun and went to the Islander's New Village.

I have to give a thumbs up to his answer.

Then he continued calmly, "I have a meeting in the nearby city tomorrow afternoon, so I'm not in a hurry to go back. I plan to stay on the island for another night to avoid traveling back and forth."

I couldn't help but complain, isn't this too tight?

He said calmly, "But when I was walking in the area, I overheard a phone call. It was a blond young man who answered the call while riding an electric scooter.

He said, 'I'm almost downstairs, I'll bring it up to you right away.' At that time, he was downstairs in No. 76, Unit 3. But the next sentence he said, 'Brother Yang! Then I'll wait for you?' Then he hung up the phone in a hurry, made a call, and only said one sentence, 'Don't come over, the boss said that we might be discovered, so we should retreat! '"

Xiang Dongsheng looked at us as he described the whole process, his expression very serious. "I saw that he looked very panicked, turned the car around and left quickly. I didn't have time to think about it, so I called the police directly."

"Why did you go to Building 76?" I asked.

"To be exact, I hadn't reached the downstairs of Room 76 yet, because he was answering the phone while paddling past me and stopped downstairs of Room 76," Xiang Dongsheng explained.

Then he continued, "It just so happened that I was there at that time and received a call. The person who brought the things I asked someone to bring to me said that he was waiting for me in front of the convenience store on the pier and hoped that I would come over quickly. He was in a hurry to leave because of other things.

I was in a hurry, so I took a taxi to the convenience store. So I didn't know much about the follow-up of Building 76. When I received the goods, dealt with this matter, and returned to Building 76, the matter there had been dealt with. I heard that the person still ran away!" Xiang Dongsheng looked at me and asked, "Right!"

He arranged the whole process in a logical and perfect way. But I felt inexplicably upset and had many questions, but I couldn't ask them at the moment.

I instinctively looked at the small bag he was holding. The things inside were packed so tightly that I couldn't tell what was inside.

The atmosphere was very silent. Chi Xi and I looked at each other. Chi Xi looked at Xiang Dongsheng and asked, "How do you know for sure that there is a fugitive in No. 76?"

"Actually, I don't know!" Xiang Dongsheng completely denied this question.

"But... I still know about the wanted order for Yang Azheng." He brought the topic back, "And the young man with yellow hair called me Brother Yang, and he also mentioned 'retreat'! It's hard not to think that it could be the same person.

So, I called the police directly. I thought this was the fastest and most direct way. After all, the police here would also receive the wanted order. The place is not big, so the police would definitely respond quickly.”

Xiang Dongsheng answered fluently.

I felt so uncomfortable in my heart. I knew something was wrong, but I couldn't refute it.

Besides, it was inconvenient for me to break off relations with him, so I couldn't help but think of Mayor Lin.

I calmed down and put on a smile, "No wonder the police came so quickly! Thank you for asking the secretary."

"Mr. Lu, you are so polite. What are you thanking me for? This is what we should all do. We cannot miss any opportunity to arrest someone. I just thought at the time that no matter whether Yang Azheng was in No. 76, I knew from what he said on the phone that he was not a good person. It should be that the police's deterrence is more powerful than ours." Xiang Dongsheng said as a matter of course.
