Li Ze’s mood was slightly complicated when he heard Leader Xu’s words.
On one hand, he was a bit happy because even if he wasn’t at home, Fu Weidong wouldn’t hurt them in the short term. On the other hand, he was a bit melancholic, because Fu Weidong would come back sooner or later. If being attacked in the premise of being unprepared, the consequences would truly be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Li Ze said, “If there’s any news of him, you have to tell me immediately.”
“Of course, that’s not a big deal.”
“Leader Xu, I want to ask you a question.”
“Go ahead.”
“Suppose a woman got drugged by a man, and the other man saved this woman before she was violated. If they call the police, would the man that drugged the woman be arrested?”
“Of course, it’s an attempted rape. Did it really happen?”
Thinking that Sun Xiaobin’s uncle might be a big cheese, Li Ze said, “No, it was a throwaway remark.”
“If it’s true, report to me clearly.”
“Yeah, I know. So be it. Let’s talk later”
“Fine.”
Li Ze quickened his pace after hanging up.
After getting in the car, Li Ze tried to call Liu Yuou, but in the end, he decided to wait for Liu Yuou’s replay.
For Li Ze, he only wanted to open Sun Xiaobin’s mouth after realizing he had no way to make his wife confess. However, before he could think of a plan to deal with Sun Xiaobin, he had to figure out what kind of person Sun Xiaobin’s uncle was. Therefore, without starting the car, Li Ze directly called Li Jiaxue.
“Hey, Ze?”
Hearing Li Jiaxue’s tone that seemed to contain some excitement, Li Ze, who was thinking about what Li Jiaxue did in Beijing, said with some disgust, “Jiaxue, please help me investigate a person’s background. Just find out his uncle’s work.”
“That’s fine. I’ll help my friend investigate.”
“Do I have to offer the ID number?”
“It’s better to offer.”
“I only have his name and phone number, and he’s also a teacher of my school.”
“Then give me the two information. I will ask my friend to check the real name of the mobile number. This way, I can confirm his ID number.”
“Alright, I will send it to you on WeChat.”
“Sure.”
When they got to this, Li Ze wanted to hang up, but he could not help but ask, “How’s your body?”
“It’s not bad, but I’ve been staying at home all these days. I went outside yesterday, and the wind made me feel very uncomfortable, as if I were about to be blown away. I never thought that I would be so weak, but I deserved it.”
‘And your colleague is taking care of you? ‘
“Yes, she makes soup to nurse my body every day.”
“That’s good then. Then you and your husband…has your ex-husband contacted you?”
“Seldom. If any, it is also related to the work handover of the firm,” said Li Jiaxue at the other end of the phone. “Because I divorced him, Lin Mei broke up with her boyfriend, and now the two of them are living together. Yesterday, Lin Mei even sent me a message on WeChat that they were going to be married in July and she was hoping that I could attend their wedding. I tell you, if I did, I’d probably mess up the wedding. Lin Mei is really shameless. She had been mixed up with another male colleague in the past and even got pregnant. I don’t bet on them, but since my ex-husband likes her, let them be. Actually, I didn’t believe in fate before, but I do believe know. If I hadn’t committed adultery first, then maybe my husband wouldn’t have cheated. Therefore, I felt like my husband’s adultery was a punishment for me. Since I’d done something wrong, then I don’t have the moral right to own everything I have now, so God allowed Lin Mei to take him from me.”
“When did they get together?”
“The night we were at the hotel.”
“Then it was a drunken mistake.”
“Lin Mei got my husband drunk, then seduced him,” said Li Jiaxue, “Men can’t resist when facing a woman presented before them as long as she doesn’t look ugly.”
“You and he have no possibility to reunite, do you?”
“That’s right, there’s no need to reunite. After all, we’ve already reached this extent. It’s better to die than to survive in disgrace. So I’ll look for another person in the future.”
“Did your ex-boyfriend know about your miscarriage and divorce?”
“If I let him know, I wouldn’t have miscarried.”
“It looks like you had made up your mind to cut off the connection with your ex-boyfriend.”
“I decided when I came back from Beijing.”
“If you had take the pill that day.”
“Aye!”
After hearing Li Jiaxue’s sigh, Li Ze said, “I will send the information to you right now. Sorry for the inconvenience.”
“Don’t be polite, we’re friends, and we should help each other.”
“Right.”
After hanging up, Li Ze sent Sun Xiaobin’s name and phone number to Li Jiaxue, while Li Jiaxue returned an emoji of OK.
Li Ze didn’t want to go home. His home had already made him feel quite depressed, so he didn’t even know where to go.
After sitting in the car for a while, he still drove out.
At this time Ding Jie was having dinner.
Because too many things had happened today, and the relationship with her husband had dropped to freezing point, she had no appetite. But she still had to fill her stomach first because she was hungry. While she was having dinner alone, Sun Lana and Weiwei were playing in the living room. Seeing the two of them enjoying themselves, Ding Jie began to burgeon the same worry with her husband. What if Sun Lana wanted to take away Weiwei?
But she didn’t think she needed to worry about it in the short run. She needed to worry about her relationship with Li Ze.
Her phone rang at this moment.
Ding Jie wanted to go and fetch it, but she didn’t expect her daughter to run over with her mobile phone.
“Thank you, my dearest.”
Ding Jie took over the phone as she spoke.
Seeing it was from Lin Huilian’s husband Lu Yuanfan, having guessed what Lu Yuanfan was about to ask, Ding Jie answered.
“Brother Fan, what’s up?”
“Is Lian with you?”
“Yes,” Ding Jie laughed out loud, “I’m not in a very good mood today, so I’ve asked Lian to stay the night with me. I’m sorry, Brother Fan, I have to make you stay alone in the spare room tonight.”
“Haha, it doesn’t matter,” Lu Yuanfan laughed at the other end of the line, “I just called her but she didn’t answer, only replied through a text message. She said she was in a banquet, and she was going to spend the night at your place. I’m afraid she drinks too much, so I want to inform you. If Lian hasn’t called you later, or if she doesn’t go to your home, please remember to tell me.”
“Yes, she has a very important banquet tonight. She was the assistant of the general manager, so she was asked to attend the banquet. I would have gone as well, but I cancelled because I had other things to do. Brother Fan, don’t worry. The general manager is a very honest person. And it is a formal banquet with many people from upper class of Xiamen society participating, not the kind that only drinks and boasts! “
