Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

Haiping likes this environment very much; the noisy crowd downstairs makes the atmosphere here even warmer. The decoration style is extremely simple and unpretentious.

Haiping asked curiously: "Where is this place?"

"This place is only known to a specific group and is not open to the public." Song Siming replied and smiled at the waiter, "Let's have some yam soup, roasted sweet potatoes and sweet lotus root in honey." During the whole process, Haiping's opinion was not asked.

The main text of Siheyuan New Life begins at Chapter 028. Siming said with a smile, "It's yam!" Seeing Haiping's expression change from listless to surprised and curious in an instant made him feel very happy.

"This yam is really good!" Haiping exclaimed.

"That's true. All the dishes in this restaurant have simple names, but each one is very special. This bowl of soup actually uses wild pheasant and other ingredients to create a delicious soup base, and adds first-class shark fin shreds to it, which is where the smooth taste comes from."

"These are all very exquisite and expensive foods. I can really feast on them this time." Haiping said, and Siming laughed happily after hearing that.

He continued: "But no matter what, its name is still yam soup."

Afterwards, Siming drove Haiping to a road in a luxurious villa area. The closer they got, the faster Haiping's heart beat.

Knowing what was going to happen next made her anticipate more and more.

Such a relationship is like being pulled by an invisible suction force. Although you want to avoid it as much as possible at the time, you will look forward to being tightly attracted next time when you change your mind.

Half a month passed quickly, and during this period, Haiping and Siming were always affectionate and attached to each other, and frequently made private appointments to meet up. Although Siming was in his forties, he still seemed to be full of energy, and the time they spent together often lasted more than half an hour, and they had a variety of ways to meet. For Haiping, who was in a period of intense need, all of this made her very satisfied!

It was almost 11 o'clock when I finished teaching and got home, but Chun was still nowhere to be seen at home.

After I finished washing up and prepared to go to bed, Chun still hadn't come back.

Haiping picked up the phone and called Chun, only to hear a gentle voice: "The number you dialed is turned off, please try again later..."

This made Haiping a little confused. Did this person forget to charge his phone? He should have called to explain!

So she went to rest first. She woke up once at 3:30 in the morning. When she turned over, she found that the bed was still empty.

So she couldn't bear it any longer, got up, put on her clothes and started to call Su Chun again. But there was still no sign of him answering the call, which made Haiping start to worry. Where would he go at this late hour? Could he have gone to watch people play cards again? !

"What is he playing? Is he really going out to play cards with others to win money?" She said angrily. "I must interrogate him when I find a chance!"

By 4:30, she was already on pins and needles with anxiety. "No, this is not right. Could something have happened to him? Was he in a car accident? Or is he in the hospital? Or was he taken back by the police? How could they not inform me? If he really has no money left and they don't let him go, what should I do?"

Haiping first called the government to inquire, using the car accident as the reason for the inquiry to see if Su Chun was caught at night.

The person who answered the phone answered directly, "This is the Public Security Management Center. If there is a traffic accident, please contact the hospital emergency number. If it is not an emergency, do not call the police service number casually."

"I'm so sorry, I'm really worried that my husband is in danger."

"Oh! It's just past five o'clock now. He may have work to do outside, or he may not have told you because he was playing cards. Don't be nervous. Wait until he disappears for more than 24 hours!"

But Haiping was still worried, so she called 120 again. The operator checked and asked, "Can you please provide your husband's name?"

"His name is Su Chun." He replied. "Three car accidents happened tonight. We checked and found no victim named Su Chun. I don't think we need to worry. Unless he got into an accident in another place. Otherwise, can you wait patiently for a while?"

Haiping was extremely anxious at the moment, and she just hoped to wait until daytime to confirm Su Chun's work location and understand the situation. After finally waiting until dawn, she immediately rushed to Su Chun's workplace.

Soon after entering the company, Haiping felt that the atmosphere was unusual. Everyone present avoided looking at her. Before she opened her mouth to ask questions, everyone began to dodge and leave.

After entering Su Chun's office and waiting for him to arrive, Haiping asked, "I want to ask about Su Chun's situation. He didn't go home yesterday."

In response to Haiping's question, the leader looked worried: "I just heard about this myself from the Security Department. It is true that Su Chun has some problems. They found that he was involved in leaking corporate trade secrets. He was taken away for investigation yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Haiping immediately asked back, "How could it be her? How could he get to know these secrets? No! You must take me to see him right now!"

However, the other party said helplessly: "Sorry, it may be difficult for you to see him now. After all, the case is still under investigation."

Haiping raised her voice in anger, saying, "What do you mean by censorship? Did he commit a crime? If he did, the law enforcement department should intervene. What right do you have to conduct a trial? Be careful, I will trespass on him by detaining him without authorization!"

This sentence was like a wake-up call. After thinking it over, Haiping decided to call Song Siming in order to thoroughly sort out the problems between her and Su Chun. If the situation did not improve, she was mentally prepared for divorce.

The frequent occurrence of this situation overwhelmed Haiping. Whenever this happened, she had to rely on getting close to Song Siming to solve Su Chun's problem, which made her feel distressed.

She thought that the money she earned just by being close to Song Siming would be better used to buy additional properties, so that she, her daughter and her parents could live more comfortably. Why should she put herself in trouble because of a burden like Su Chun?

After Song Siming answered Haiping's call, he provided the information of a lawyer, and Haiping immediately contacted the lawyer. After learning some background information, the lawyer replied: "Ms. Guo, your husband was involved in a painting-related accident!"

"What painting is it?"

"Recently, a unit in Fujian hired him to draw several blueprints and paid him, but these drawings involved official secrets."

"Oh, I see! Could you please help me understand the case in depth and assess my husband's current condition?"

The next day, the lawyer met Su Chun and reported back: "I have visited him today, and the current situation is not ideal. He was caught in the middle of a secret communication with the other party, and he confessed everything. From my observation, it is only a matter of time before he is arrested, and then the legal process will begin. As for the specific amount of money involved, we need to wait for the release of the ** declaration to know. In addition, you may be questioned by the police in the near future, so please be mentally prepared to deal with it in advance."

Hai Ping responded: "But how much does this have to do with me? I was completely unaware of his actions, so what can I say?"

The lawyer responded that we should only state the facts we know. "Just state the facts, and don't comment on the parts that are unclear."

"But I don't know what he said to the police. What should I say?"

The lawyer replied: "Just give us the details of what you know."

"Would you be willing to accompany me to face the inquiry?"

"You can invite me to be present if necessary, but whether public authority allows me to participate is another question."

"Can I claim to be ignorant of something that I don't know about?"

"You have every right to do so."

"Then I'll try not to talk, I won't get beaten, right?"

In response to this question, the lawyer smiled and said, "No. However, if you do not cooperate, it may lead to the official finding that you refused to assist in the investigation; this will have a negative impact on the judgment documents you may face in the future. If you cooperate, it may help the court to find that you have voluntarily surrendered and thus give you leniency. Otherwise, it may lead to a more severe judgment from the court."

Haiping felt extremely upset when she realized that all these decisions involved the critical moment of Su Chun's future fate. This person not only did nothing but also always brought misfortune. Should she give up on him or face the difficulties together? This became the biggest problem at the moment.

Haizao is going with Haiping today. After hearing about it, Haizao wants to provide not much help but at least show concern for her sister who is facing such troubles. After all, they are family.

After leaving the law firm, Haiping turned to Haizao and said, "Haizao, you heard everything just now, right? I'm struggling over whether I should end my marriage with Su Chun. If we continue like this, it will only bring Ranran and I into the abyss of life. His actions are simply unbearable for me!"

Hai Zao pondered for a moment and replied, "Sister, I don't know how to put it specifically, but if my brother-in-law, Su Chun, has done all this because of his misbehavior, after all, these actions are from him, not you. Perhaps the right thing to do is to withdraw from it as soon as possible."

Haiping responded firmly: "Okay! I know how to deal with it."

That night, Mark asked Haiping with concern: "What happened? Do you need my help?"

Haiping shook her head and refused to explain, but she was absent-minded and absent-minded during the class. Many times, she needed to be reminded several times before she responded to Mark's questions, and she kept mumbling.

Mark has a very high opinion of this woman. Haiping is very patient and tolerant, and she will express her admiration for him with praise. These qualities make her easier to communicate with than some free people who advocate individual freedom.

He suffered a lot when he was dating his ex: she always portrayed herself as a liberal; but in fact, she was freely having an affair with her best friend... This situation was really unbearable for Mark.
