I transmigrated to the 1970s and became the female lead's vicious stepsister.

"What are you doing here!"

Fu Linchuan had been secretly investigating the Ma family during this time. In his previous life, he only started to deal with the Ma family after he returned to the capital for treatment and failed. However, he missed the opportunity and wasted a lot of time before finally bringing the Ma family down.

In this life, he didn't want the Ma family to roam freely for so long. This time, he wanted to completely destroy the Ma family in the shortest possible time. This whole family was no good; it was a good opportunity to rid the people of a scourge.

Based on his investigation in his previous life, he knew that the Ma family had a batch of goods to ship recently, which was very important direct evidence, but he couldn't remember the exact date, so he never dared to relax.

Fu Linchuan conspired with Secretary Liu to set a trap, deliberately letting the secretary leave for a week in order to catch the Ma family in the act.

Unexpectedly, they saw Su Lingwu at the Ma family's place.

At first, Fu Linchuan didn't recognize her, but the more he looked at her back, the more familiar she seemed. When Su Lingwu turned around, Fu Linchuan was even more certain that it was indeed Su Lingwu.

Although she disguised herself and changed her skin color, her facial features remained the same. Fu Linchuan had been in the army for so many years, so his eyesight was naturally exceptional, and he recognized Su Lingwu at a glance.

"Waaaaah... Let me go!"

"Don't make a sound!"

Fu Linchuan pulled Su Lingwu deep into the alley before daring to let go.

"What are you doing here!"

"It's dangerous, go home right away."

Fu Linchuan released his hand, and Su Lingwu was so angry that she stomped on his foot, almost scaring her to death.

Su Lingwu thought she had been discovered by the Ma family. In the middle of the night, she was so scared that her soul almost left her body.

hiss……

Fu Linchuan frowned, but did not take a step back.

"Mind your own business!"

"I have something to do."

"Also, are you getting married or not? You've been gone for so many days without any news. I thought you went back to the army."

Su Lingwu had no idea what Fu Linchuan was doing. Seeing him being chased last time, she thought he had already left.

"Didn't I say before I left that the certificate would take about twenty days to process? We can only get the certificate after that. I have some things to take care of during this time."

"What are you doing here so late at night, a girl all alone?"

"If you don't show up soon, your wife will be snatched away. That bastard Ma Juntao even chased us to my house. Now the Ma family is using our brigade's share of tractors and fertilizer to control us. Since you're not here, of course I have to find a way to save myself."

When Su Lingwu saw that Fu Linchuan hadn't left, she suddenly felt a sense of security.

Fu Linchuan frowned even more upon hearing Su Lingwu's words. The Ma family was truly persistent; they were everywhere.

"Leave this to me. You can go home tomorrow and wait for my news. I'll take you back to the guesthouse to rest first." Fu Linchuan greeted the people in the shadows before leaving with Su Lingwu.

"But...it's urgent! You'd better hurry, the crops can't wait much longer."

"Don't worry, it won't be long."

Fu Linchuan escorted Su Lingwu back to the guesthouse, but because he couldn't reveal himself, he climbed in through a window.

"You...you can leave now." Su Lingwu didn't expect Fu Linchuan to climb through the window and enter the room.

"No rush, I'll leave after you fall asleep."

Fu Linchuan was not at ease. He had figured out that Su Lingwu was not an honest person and did not have a good opinion of her, fearing that she would go back to the Ma family.

It's too dangerous over there now. If we really run into the shipping season, those people holding onto the goods are all desperate criminals. It's just too dangerous.

Su Lingwu could tell that Fu Linchuan was worried about her and afraid that she would go to the Ma family again.

"Okay, I'll wash my face and go to bed, alright?"

Su Lingwu had no choice but to obediently wash her face, removing all the color and revealing her originally delicate and fair skin.

She burrowed into the blankets, wrapping herself up like a silkworm cocoon, with only her head sticking out. "You can go now. I know you're busy, you don't need to stay with me."

Seeing Su Lingwu's wary look, Fu Linchuan raised an eyebrow and thought to himself, "Who does she think she is? If she wants to do something, she thinks she can stop him with just a blanket?"

He glanced at her silently twice, then coldly issued the command, "Close your eyes and go to sleep."

Su Lingwu pouted, her pink lips slightly pouting, thinking to herself, "What a repressed pervert!"

Don't think she didn't see the look he gave her just now.

Her long, curled eyelashes fluttered like butterflies about to take flight.

Fu Linchuan's lips couldn't help but curve into a smile.

"Don't worry, I'll leave once you're asleep." With someone watching over him, Fu Linchuan felt much more at ease.

Before leaving, Secretary Liu arranged for him to have a lot of manpower.

Whether it was because she was too tired or because she felt much more at ease knowing she had a powerful backer, Su Lingwu fell asleep soon after.

Hearing the even breathing, Fu Linchuan walked to the bedside and carefully examined the face in front of him. He traced his fingers in the air, thinking how strange fate was, binding two people who had never crossed paths in their previous lives together.

I'm getting married and I'm really looking forward to the days ahead.

Considering Su Lingwu's personality, her life is unlikely to be very peaceful.

……

the next day.

When Su Lingwu got up, she saw the money and tickets by her bedside and was so happy she couldn't stop smiling.

Ah!

It's amazing that such good news happened so early in the morning.

He's definitely a future bigwig; he's so generous.

Su Lingwu counted the money and gave her another fifty yuan, along with a lot of coupons. This time, the coupons were more varied and abundant. In addition to the common ones such as grain coupons, sugar coupons, meat coupons, oil coupons, and cloth coupons, there were even canned food coupons, milk powder coupons, high-end pastry coupons, and a cigarette coupon.

It's a good time to buy a pack of cigarettes for my uncle. Last time I bought two packs, one for my maternal grandfather and the other for Su Wu to shut my father up. My uncle doesn't have any yet.

Now that I have money and tickets, the first thing I do is naturally go shopping and spend some of the tickets.

After disguising herself, Su Lingwu went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought canned goods, milk powder, high-end pastries, and cigarettes.

After buying the things, I'll go to a state-run restaurant for a meal, then meet with that kid to see if he has any useful information.

Now that she knows Fu Linchuan is also investigating the Ma family, she feels much more at ease and less anxious.

When Su Lingwu arrived, the boy was already waiting at the back door of the movie theater with the three of them.

"You've arrived."

"Brother Yang, is this the benefactor you were talking about? Could he be a fraudster?" The three men looked at Su Lingwu's clothes and realized she didn't seem like someone who could afford to pay.

"What could I possibly lie to you about? What could I possibly lie to you about? You're all so skinny, you'd be too thin even for stewing." Su Lingwu could tell at a glance that these guys were starving.

"Da Bao, don't talk nonsense!"

"Sister, don't be angry. Da Bao is just straightforward, but he has a natural advantage. He knows who you want to ask around in the neighborhood. He's the go-to person for information in this area."

"Oh?"

"Is that so? Then let me ask you, how much do you know about Ma Changzheng?"

"If you can tell me some exclusive secrets, this five yuan is yours." Su Lingwu took out five yuan from her pocket.

"real?"

Da Bao reached for the money, but Su Lingwu pulled it back, saying, "Tell me first, is it worth the price?"

Sun Dabao's eyes darted around. "I know Ma Changzheng has a mistress he particularly dotes on, and he hides her very well. I only saw her by chance when I came out to pee in the middle of the night. Later, I found out that Ma Changzheng always goes to see that woman in the middle of the night. Does that count?"

Su Lingwu smiled, "Of course it counts, these five yuan are yours."

"Boss, there's real money to be made!" Sun Dabao was extremely excited.

"I have another piece of news. I heard that bastard Ma Juntao has recently found a new target and has become much more obedient. He doesn't come out to harm people anymore. I wonder which unlucky guy he has his eye on, haha..." Sun Dabao slapped his thigh with joy.

Su Lingwu just stared coldly at Sun Dabao.

"Um... Sister, let's continue reporting on the results of our observations yesterday."

"Oh right, I've noticed that the Ma family seems to be looking for someone lately. The Ma siblings are both quite the troublemakers. I heard that Ma Li seems to have fallen for someone, but he didn't like her and ran away. She's making a scene at home, asking her father to find him."

"I also heard that Ma Li is on a hunger strike at home."

Wei Dong and Da Qing also shared the information they had gathered.

It's difficult to keep any secrets at this time. The residential area is densely populated, and everyone knows what's going on. If you ask around carefully, you can always find out some information.

Su Lingwu was shocked when she heard the news. "No way, what a coincidence!"

Could the man Ma Li likes be Fu Linchuan?

If that's the case, it seems to make sense. It's very likely that Ma Li gave him the Chinese medicine that time, and then Fu Linchuan escaped.
