Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

Then he stood up again, eating cake while circling around Cao Jianjun.

"I know, I know..."

Cao Jianjun was busy cooking noodles. Apart from having breakfast at Lvteng in the morning, he hadn't eaten anything since then and was quite hungry.

"Xia Jie came over as soon as she got off work yesterday."

"Although it was our first time meeting, I must say, this girl is quite fun."

A smile appeared on Zhou Hui's lips as she reminisced about the time she spent with Xia Jie last night.

"Xia Jie is indeed a good girl."

The noodles in the pot were bubbling, and Cao Jianjun stirred them with chopsticks, saying, "But, honey, is it really okay for you to stay home alone like this all the time?"

"Why not?"

Zhou Hui said blankly, "Honey, let me tell you, no matter if you're a man or a woman, you can't be pretentious. The more pretentious you are, the more problems you have."

"So you can't spoil me like this anymore, it's too awkward."

"..."

Cao Jianjun rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue.

I ladled the cooked noodles into a bowl, took a bottle of Lao Gan Ma chili sauce from the refrigerator, sat down on the kitchen counter, and started eating.

Sometimes, Lao Gan Ma with noodles is just so damn delicious.

Cao Jianjun slurped his food down with great relish, and with a bottle of beer, he felt like he was in heaven.

"husband……"

Zhou Hui, however, felt the cake in her hand no longer tasted good, and pouted with some guilt: "Am I... not very virtuous?"

"why?"

Cao Jianjun was taken aback for a moment, then took a bite of garlic and slurped up a mouthful of noodles.

"look……"

Zhou Hui pointed apologetically at Cao Jianjun's bowl and chopsticks: "You've been busy all day, and you still have to cook for yourself when you get home. You just throw something together like this. As your wife..."

"Definitely..."

Cao Jianjun waved his hand, both amused and exasperated: "Honey, think about it, if it weren't for you, I'd be here all alone after work, eating noodles, with no one to talk to. Wouldn't that be even worse?"

"Ok?"

Zhou Hui rolled her eyes thoughtfully: "That's true."

"Therefore, none of what you described exists."

When people are hungry, they eat very quickly. Cao Jianjun finished a bottle of Wusu beer and a big bowl of noodles in no time.

After washing the pots and pans, Cao Jianjun went to the bathroom to fetch a basin of hot water, took a foot towel, and returned to the living room.

"Honey, I heard today that soaking your feet properly is very good for a pregnant woman's health."

"So, whenever I have time, I'll wash your feet when I come back."

Cao Jianjun placed the hot water on the ground and gestured for Zhou Hui to sit down.

49. Oh no! My mother-in-law has been targeted by Green Vine.

Zhou Hui wanted to refuse.

But as a woman, she also wants to be endlessly pampered by her man.

So Zhou Hui obediently stayed with him, enjoying the happiness of Cao Jianjun washing her feet.

Looking back on the years since they got married, supporting each other all the way, emotions began to overshadow everything else.

After washing her feet, Zhou Hui went back to her bedroom and lay down.

Cao Jianjun took a cold shower in the bathroom, wrapped himself in his pajamas, and went back to his room.

"Honey, my parents went back to Green Vine today."

Zhou Hui leaned against the headboard, playing with her phone.

"So fast?"

As soon as Cao Jianjun sat down, his brows furrowed.

My parents-in-law's hometown is Yihe New Village, which is one of the core industries of Changteng Capital.

With my mother-in-law being so unlucky, I wonder if Gao Mingyuan has his eye on her?

But on second thought, the possibility seems unlikely.

First of all, my parents-in-law are from Yihe New Village. It's understandable from any perspective that they're going back to their hometown to retire.

Thinking about it this way, Cao Jianjun felt much more at ease.

"Hmm, look..."

Zhou Hui shifted her body and leaned against Cao Jianjun, holding out her phone: "My sister posted something on her WeChat Moments."

Zhou Cong posted photos of his old house on his WeChat Moments, along with some text.

"After a lifetime of twists and turns, I've returned to the place where I was born. Life is like a play, and a play is like life!"

Upon seeing this, Cao Jianjun couldn't help but chuckle.

But then I realized something was wrong, because the house in the photo was an old house.

The yard was in a state of disrepair, the dilapidated houses were almost half collapsed, and the yard was full of weeds that made it difficult to walk.

"Weren't all the houses in Yihe New Village rebuilt?"

Cao Jianjun zoomed in on the picture, puzzled: "Why is this old couple's house still the same as before?"

"do not know……"

Zhou Hui shook her head and said, "When our old home was being demolished, the village notified them, but my parents thought we wouldn't be going back anyway, so they ignored it."

“I was planning to transfer my household registration here this year, but I never expected my brother-in-law to get into this mess.”

Cao Jianjun pondered for a long time and gradually understood.

He remembered that there were indeed many houses in Yihe New Village that had not yet been demolished. He also remembered that there was an ancestral hall in the village, which was often the activity place for the village chief Cao Peng's son.

This village chief's son is also Sun Xing's henchman.

And this village chief was also Gao Mingyuan's henchman.

"Alright, honey, let's not worry about that anymore, let's go to sleep."

Cao Jianjun turned off his phone, too lazy to analyze anything else; spending quality time with his wife was the most important thing.

…………

The night is dark.

The weather in Green Vine was shrouded in thick, leaden clouds from the morning.

Even as night fell, there was no sign of them leaving.

Xishan Villa.

Lights were on inside a house built against the mountainside.

The camera zooms in, revealing a man in his fifties, dressed in a traditional Chinese Tang suit, kneeling before a tea table, leisurely playing with the tea set.

This person is Gao Mingyuan, the chairman of Changteng Capital, who is currently the underground emperor of Green Vine.

"The people are all locked up in your station, why are you coming to ask me now?"

Gao Mingyuan poured the tea into a cup with a smile, then picked it up and slowly placed it opposite him.

"It's because you haven't believed in him all these years that things have turned out this way."

Sitting across from the tea table was He Yun from the Green Vine Police Station. She had taken off her cap and uniform, and was now dressed in civilian clothes.

He had short, neat hair, a slightly aged face, and eyes filled with hatred.

"Why did Xu Yingzi release it so quickly?"

Gao Mingyuan wore a nonchalant smile and pressed his hands down on his thighs.

How would I know?

He Yun spoke with emotion from the start: "He Yong insisted on releasing it, what could I do?"

"The task force has been in Green Vine for quite some time now, how come the progress is suddenly so fast?"

As he spoke, Gao Mingyuan slowly opened the drawer of the tea table, took out a photo, and tossed it onto the table.

The photo shows Cao Jianjun, Gao Suo, and Yang Shu having a meal at Xiaoyu Wonton Shop.

Upon seeing the photo, He Yun asked suspiciously, "Did you have the tires punctured?"

"I just wanted to tell them that this is Green Vine, they're here as guests, so don't cause any trouble."

Gao Mingyuan held the teacup in one hand, brought it to his lips, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and inhaled the aroma of the tea in the cup.

"This person is called Cao Jianjun."
