Chapter 1759 What a cruel heart

Siheyuan.

Qin Huairu sat at the door of her house with a gloomy face. Under the light, her shadow was stretched out very long.

She went out three days ago. Although she didn't find Sha Zhu, she did get some information about him.

That means Sha Zhu really went to the military family compound, and he brought some people with him.

However, the situation at that time was different from what she expected. The other party was not taken away, and the result did not meet her expectations.

So she waited at home, wanting to wait for Sha Zhu to come back and ask him some questions.

But after waiting for three days, there was no sign of anyone.

She also went to the coal yard to ask, but not only was there no news about Sha Zhu, but many people in the coal yard were also missing.

After thinking about it, I went directly to the police station to report the case, saying that Shazhu was missing and disappeared along with the coal yard's supervision team.

But the next day, the police station sent her a message asking her to wait for the result.

But he didn't say a word about what happened.

This made her feel even more uncertain.

It was almost midnight and there was still no sign of Sha Zhu, and the uneasiness in my heart became even stronger.

Now she felt a little regretful. She regretted being too greedy and letting Sha Zhu get involved.

If she could choose again, she would rather Sha Zhu was safe and sound, staying with her, and every time he came back, he would bring two lunch boxes and shout to her, "Huai Ru, it's time to eat."

Instead of being like now, where neither the living nor the dead are seen.

His eyes gradually became blurred, he lowered his head and touched his stomach.

There is only some whole-grain noodles at home, which can last for a few days.

"Huai Ru, go to bed early."

An old lady came out of the house. Her child was already asleep, so she wanted to go home too.

Qin Huairu nodded, watched the aunt go back, and then prepared to go back to the house to rest.

Just as I was about to enter the door, I saw Ran Qiuye riding a bicycle out of the hanging flower gate.

The two daughters were sitting on the front and back of the bicycle. The eldest daughter Miaomiao was leading Duanwu at the back. The family passed through the hanging flower gate and walked into the house.

Needless to say, she must have gone back to her parents' home.

Thinking about the situation of the Ran family, their life was getting better and better. Not only did she help take care of the children, she also cooked and cleaned the house, saving a lot of trouble.

Think about your own mother's home, it is like water spilled on the ground, you won't be welcome there even if you want to go back.

Seeing this scene, Qin Huairu felt uncomfortable.

Her husband went to report it, but Yang Xiaotao was fine, but Sha Zhu, who reported it, could not be found.

While others are enjoying the best of food, we can only eat steamed corn bread. What kind of world is this?

Watching Ran Qiuye return home and a group of children rushing into the yard, making a lot of noise, I felt even more gloomy in my heart.

Suddenly, Qin Huairu wondered, could it be that Sha Zhu disappeared because of Yang Xiaotao?

With Yang Xiaotao's power, if he knew that Sha Zhu was going to report him, he would definitely take revenge.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu's heart ached.

Over the years, she has seen through Yang Xiaotao.

It started with her dead husband, then she refused to donate to their family, then to their children, not even giving them a tomato, later she lost her son, and even sent away her mother-in-law, and now it's her silly Zhu's turn.

Step by step, others only saw the glorious side of Yang Xiaotao, but only she could see clearly that behind Yang Xiaotao's glory were ruthless means.

Regardless of whether these methods are overt or covert, or will not be discovered at all, judging from the results and benefits alone, Yang Xiaotao is the biggest winner.

In this courtyard, He Yushui's house originally belonged to Sha Zhu, but it was sold to Zhou Kui.

It was originally Uncle Chen's house, but eventually the Chen family moved to Shanghai and the house became Yang Xiaotao's.

Now they have occupied Sha Zhu's house. Who else could be the biggest beneficiary if not Yang Xiaotao?
Therefore, Yang Xiaotao is a ruthless and vicious person.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu became more certain of her guess, "He must have harmed Sha Zhu."

"They must be covering up the truth to protect their own status and their family's well-being."

"Yes, that's for sure."

"I want to save Shazhu, I want to."

Just as Qin Huairu was roaring inwardly, footsteps were heard again from the Chuihua Gate.

Then a group of people came in and came straight to the front. The leader looked at Qin Huairu and said directly, "Qin Huairu, we are the security department of the Red Star Machinery Factory. We are ordered to ask you to cooperate with the investigation."

"Please come with us."

As soon as he finished speaking, two people came up behind Qin Huairu.

Suddenly, Qin Huairu was stunned. She hadn't been doing anything for a while, so why would someone from the machinery factory look for her?
But after a moment, thinking about what I just said, I felt a chill in my body and felt that a conspiracy was looming over me.

Even she was not spared.

"Yang Xiaotao!"

Suddenly, Qin Huairu screamed miserably. Ran Qiuye, who was preparing to rest in the yard, heard it and looked out the window.

"Yang Xiaotao, you have such a cruel heart."

The grief-stricken heart, the grievances accumulated over the years, and the inexplicable sorrow and resentment all burst out completely at this moment.

Qin Huairu's voice was shrill, like Dou E who had suffered an injustice. She looked up at the night sky and asked, "How did I, Qin Huairu, offend you that you must kill me?"

"It's a good thing I didn't marry a bastard like you."

"You are afraid of being reported for what you did, so you are so cruel and ruthless that you harm others. Your conscience has been eaten by a dog..."

Qin Huairu sat down on the ground with a plop. At this moment, Jia Zhang's skills were inherited by her.

Unfortunately, things are different now. There is no Yi Zhonghai or Sha Zhu to support him in the hospital, and others are just watching from the sidelines.

Qin Huairu could only howl on the ground!

"Someone, come out and take a look at this bastard Yang Xiaotao!"

"take away!"

Before Qin Huairu finished shouting, the team leader reacted immediately and ordered his men to do their job.

I was careless just now and let this woman say so much.

Or he said bad things about his own boss in front of them. If people knew about this, it would just smear the boss.

The two clerks couldn't stand it anymore, so they stepped forward and grabbed Qin Huairu's arms, then lifted her up and walked out.

"I, I won't go. Yang Xiaotao wants to harm me. I won't go."

"Help, help..."

Qin Huairu struggled hard, but it was of no use.

Even the two security officers twisted her arms so hard that the pain made her voice change!

At this time, the people in the yard came out to check the situation, but they stood aside and pointed and talked, and no one wanted to step forward.

"What has Qin Huairu done wrong again?" "It must be something bad, otherwise the security department of the machinery factory would come?"

"You heard her scolding Yang Xiaotao, didn't she say something about reporting him? Could it be that she reported him?"

"Nonsense, with her mind, what good words can she say?"

Qin Huairu felt disheartened when she heard everyone's discussions. These blind and untouchable people were hopeless.

I am the victim!

Qin Huairu was taken into the car and quickly left the courtyard.

Ran Qiuye couldn't sleep. From Qin Huairu's voice, it seemed that this matter was related to Yang Xiaotao.

Considering that Yang Xiaotao has been leaving early and coming back late these days, especially considering that Li Nan's matter has made him quite worried, could something really have happened?

Even Uncle Zhang from the backyard hasn’t come back these two days.

After leaving the yard, Zhou Kui, Liu Yuhua, Wang Dashan, and Yan Fugui from the front yard also rushed over, "Qiu Ye, what did Jia Qinshi yell just now?"

Ran Qiuye shook his head, "I don't know."

After hearing this, Yan Fugui looked towards the door of the aunt's house. At that moment, the aunt was nervously watching Qin Huairu being taken away. She wanted to go over and plead for mercy, but was afraid of being implicated.

She had just returned home and lay down. When she heard the noise and came out, Qin Huairu had already been grabbed and walked out. She only heard that she was taken away by people from the machinery factory.

She didn't know the specific situation.

At this moment, Yan Fugui came over and said, "Auntie, please give me an explanation. Sha Zhu disappeared a few days ago, and now Qin Huairu has been taken away. Maybe this family will break up."

"We have been neighbors for so many years, and you are a reasonable person. Explain the situation clearly so that we can discuss countermeasures."

When Yan Fugui said this, people gathered around him, wanting to know what was going on.

The old lady was shocked when she saw people coming over. She thought about what Sha Zhu had said to them and the fact that she had not been seen for a while, and her heart sank.

Could it be that Qin Huairu was also involved?

Or is it that Yang Xiaotao has become so powerful that he is taking revenge on them?
Will her husband, Mr. Yi, be in trouble?
Horrible, terrible.

But now everyone gathered around and asked him for an explanation.

If I don't say it, the machinery factory will announce it. It's better to say it out loud. After all, since we are in the same institute, it won't make things difficult for her.

The aunt gritted her teeth and said, "A few days ago, Shazhu went to prepare a banquet for someone, and heard that someone was speculating and profiteering."

The old lady only talked about irrelevant things and didn't mention a word about Yang Xiaotao!

But the people in the hospital are especially easy to fool, especially when Qin Huairu was arrested, she was shouting about reporting it.

Everyone looked angry.

This is to report Yang Xiaotao.

Who is so cruel and ruthless? Don’t you have any idea?
As everyone was talking, an old lady glanced at Ran Qiuye, lowered her head, and went home to look after her children.

At the moon gate in the backyard, Qin Jingru heard the whole story and also turned around and ran home.

During this period, Sha Zhu couldn't find anyone and her life was not easy.

Now that I heard that Sha Zhu was arrested, I felt even more panicked.

If Sha Zhu doesn't come back, how will she live in the future?

Thinking of this, Qin Jingru returned home and lay on the bed, her mind going blank!
Liu Yuhua, Wang Dashan and others in the yard were angry, but Ran Qiuye didn't care.

Over the years, who in the hospital dares to say that they have not been to the Pigeon Market to buy something?

If we really investigate like this, I guess few people will be able to stay in this hospital.

Besides, this is just the opinion of the silly Qin Huairu. How can it be trusted?

Seeing Ran Qiuye so calm, everyone realized something. Yan Fugui even laughed out loud on the spot, "Okay, nothing happened, go home and rest."

"This idiot Zhu has no control over what he says. He believes everything he hears. Who knows where he heard this nonsense from?"

"What he said cannot be trusted!"

"Go back, don't worry about it."

After saying this, he asked the people in the front yard to leave. Ran Qiuye also said goodbye to everyone else and went back to the house to prepare for bed.

Miaomiao waited for Ran Qiuye to come back before running forward, "Mom, Dad is not a bad person."

Ran Qiuye smiled, hugged Miaomiao and put her on the bed, "Of course Mom knows. Go to sleep."

"Well, the one who says Dad is a bad guy is the real bad guy."

Ran Qiuye smiled and nodded, "Yes, they are all bad guys."

Yang Xiaotao came to the yard where Lin Shen was imprisoned. After going through layers of investigation, he finally met Lin Shen.

Walking into the room, Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and took out a cigarette, looking at Lin Shen, who looked depressed and had no desire to live. "Lin Shen? Or Shen Lin?"

His appearance couldn't be seen clearly under the moonlight, but Lin Shen recognized Yang Xiaotao.

I just thought about the first time they met, which should have been seven or eight years ago.

But now, everything has changed!
The children who grew up in the military compound back then have fallen to their current state.

But that down-and-out young man reached a height that he could not reach.

"It is you."

His voice was hoarse, and then he lowered his head, "Lin Shen, this is the last leg, there's no need to hide it."

"it is good!"

Yang Xiaotao handed the cigarette over, Lin Shen took it, and the chain on his hand rattled.

Baji
The ash quickly grew larger.

"does it worth?"

Yang Xiaotao spoke lightly, and Lin Shen remained silent.

Before coming, Yang Xiaotao had already learned about Lin Shen's situation. The root cause was that there was something wrong with his family education.

Especially when boys are in their rebellious period, if they are not guided and left alone, they will only go astray.

Of course, there are many such people in this era, but more of them become filial sons under the stick.

You can’t say that being a parent is bad. Who doesn’t want the best for their children?
It's just a different way of expressing it. Some people like to discipline and impose their own expectations on their children.

And Lin Shen is one of them.

Unfortunately, Lin Shen is a special one!
Hearing Yang Xiaotao's question, Lin Shen shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that it doesn't matter!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't say much when he saw this. They were just strangers, but they were talking about deep things. They had only met twice, and the rest was just a transaction.

"Let's go!"

Yang Xiaotao spoke only after seeing Lin Shen finish washing his cigarettes.

Lin Shen nodded, and then someone came in from outside, put a black belt on his head, and then two people walked out holding each other.

Yang Xiaotao followed behind and got into the car. The other man and woman were also escorted into the car, and then the car drove towards the machinery factory.
