Marriage in crisis

Now when Zhao Gang has something to do, he calls Chi Xi. He is afraid that I am sleeping and will disturb me.

"I got a call saying that the Wang family's affairs have been dealt with!" Chi Xi said, "This time it's completely over!"

I thought about it for a moment and said calmly, "Completely? How can it be that easy? The Wang family's matter is still to come. Her brother has not been sentenced yet, and Wang Lin is still in the hospital."

"You're right. Besides, someone must have been adding fuel to the fire behind his brother's back. He's unwise and pretends to be righteous. He has never explained the matter. What an idiot." Chi Xi cursed angrily, and then sighed, "In this family, only Wang Ling is smart and can see the long-term steps!"

I finished eating all the dumplings in the bowl, but my stomach was still empty and I felt like I hadn't finished yet.

I looked at Wei Qingchuan and asked, "No more?"

Wei Qingchuan immediately stood up, went to the back to ask Mrs. Li, and came back to say to me, "If you want to eat, continue tomorrow. Mrs. Li said this food is hard to digest! We still have to eat dinner later."

I shrugged and instinctively looked at the empty bowl again.

It was the first time I felt that the glutinous rice balls were so delicious.

Chi Xi immediately took the bowl away and said, "Don't chew the bowl later!"

Everybody laughed, and I laughed too.

But before we finished laughing, Zhou Haizhen came in hurriedly from outside and shouted, "Nini, something happened!"

We were all startled and looked at her. Zhou Haizhen then saw Wei Qingchuan was also there and quickly greeted him, "Brother, you're back?"

I pressed, "What happened?"

"Do you still remember Deng Xiyuan?" Zhou Haizhen looked at me and asked.

"Of course I remember. How could I not remember your strong competitor?" I directly told them their story. "Didn't she go to jail because of the Xiao Huashan incident some time ago? But I haven't heard from her for a while."

"Yes, that's her!" Zhou Haizhen nodded, then looked at Wei Qingchuan, "She's dead, strangled to death at home!"

"...Ah?" We all exclaimed!

Wei Qingchuan frowned slightly, "When did it happen?"

"Just now, I came back after hearing the news. There is someone from our company who lives in their community. She said that in the afternoon, she suddenly saw a lot of police cars coming to the community, so she went to join in the fun..."

Before she could finish, Shen Kuo strode in with his hands folded. When he saw Zhou Haizhen standing there with her bag, he knew that Zhou Haizhen knew the news.

Shen Kuo glanced at her and asked, "You know this too?"

Zhou Haizhen nodded immediately. "It was Xiao Qu from the company who came to announce it directly. The two of them are quite at odds with each other. She brought back some gossip about Deng Xiyuan to the company. This is really explosive."

Wei Qingchuan looked at Shen Kuo, "Have you asked Li Zhen?"

"Well! We are on the scene right now. There is no specific information yet. It was a neighbor who discovered the case and reported it!" Shen Kuo said simply and succinctly.

"He was strangled to death. It was said that there was an electric wire around his neck." Zhou Haizhen rushed to add another sentence.

"Tell me everything you know! Then let's see how excited you are!" Shen Kuo said to Zhou Haizhen.

"What makes me excited? Isn't this news explosive? It's like you don't want to hear it."

Shen Kuo immediately pulled a chair for her, "Come... come on, Mrs. Shen, sit down and talk. It's tiring to stand!"

After saying that, he turned around and poured a glass of water for Zhou Haizhen and placed it next to her.

Zhou Haizhen's face immediately blossomed with smiles, and she took a sip of water and started to talk, "Didn't I say that we have a colleague named Xiao Qu who lives in the same residential complex as them, but not in the same building.

Xiao Qu lived in a high-rise building, while Deng Xiyuan lived in a duplex. In the afternoon, she saw a lot of police cars coming to the community, and she thought something must have happened in the community.

She thought that she had to go to the company soon anyway, so she hurriedly picked up her bag and went downstairs and left the house. As soon as she went out, she heard a lot of people talking about something happening in Unit 2 of the duplex E building, and someone had died.

Xiao Qu said that she thought, "Oh my god, isn't Unit 2 of Building E the unit of Deng Xiyuan's family?" She was immediately filled with curiosity and ran to see what was going on. The key point was that she wanted to know who owned Unit 2.

What Zhou Haizhen said was very truthful, even including her own guesses.

"Before she even got there, she heard a group of people talking about something happening in Room 2 of Unit 202. Xiao Qu was stunned. Isn't Room 202 Deng Xiyuan's home?" Zhou Haizhen added, "She said that when she heard it was Room 202, she was completely paralyzed!"
