Chapter 4

Anzi didn't realize that his uncle was going crazy.

She happily held Zhu Rourong's hand and said, "Uncle Rong, shall we go buy some candy now?"

Zhu Rourong was shocked and picked up Anzi. "It's too late today. Let your grandma accompany you tomorrow. You are a child and it's easy to be cheated. Let me tell you, those store owners love to cheat children like you the most..."

"No, Uncle Afu has never lied to me. He even often treats me to candy."

"That's because you didn't have money to be cheated by others before."

The figure holding the child walked farther and farther away, and no one noticed that the majestic black aura above the head of the older figure was slowly gathering and shrinking back into his body.

After Anzi was punished, she sneaked out of the house late at night and got into big trouble.

In order to teach her a lesson, Wang Po made her stand behind the door with a bowl on her head. The room was too small, and there was no place for her to stand even as a punishment.

Zhu Rourong was afraid of getting stuck again, so he didn't dare to stick his head in.

I chatted quietly with Anzi through a thin wooden door.

Wang Po sighed, thinking that she was too useless. After paying the rent every month, she could not save any money. Seeing Anzi growing up, he would have to be sent to school in two years. Even if she lived frugally, there would still be a long way to go.

Looking at the more than 800 Hong Kong dollars she had just received today in the box, Wang Po decided to take a risk.

Early the next morning, she took Anzi, some steamed buns and warm water, and got on the bus to Tsim Sha Tsui.

Zhu Rourong had been following Anzi. When he saw the grandparents and grandchildren were going to Tsim Sha Tsui, he wanted to ask but didn't dare to.

Wang Po did not disappoint him. She took Anzi to see his mother who had already formed a new family.

After her husband died, Chen Yanni married and moved to Tsim Sha Tsui with the encouragement of her adult son.

The police called her after Zhu Rourong got into trouble last night, and now she and her stepdaughter are preparing to go to the police station.

Wang Po knew which building she lived in, but didn't know which specific floor she lived on, so she just waited downstairs.

As soon as Chen Yanni went downstairs, she saw the grandparents and grandchildren. They had been neighbors for many years, and she recognized Wang Po at a glance.

"Po Wang, what are you doing?"

Wang Po lowered her lips and said in a low voice, "I came to see you."

Chen Yanni's eyes were red and swollen. She must have cried for a long time last night. She looked listless.

That’s right, it would be strange if she wasn’t sad when her only son was killed in the house.

"What do you want from me? I have to go to the police station now."

Wang Po glanced at her stepdaughter Chen Yanni and didn't want too many people to know about this.

Chen Yanni understood and asked her stepdaughter to take Anzi to a nearby breakfast shop to buy some food.

Anzi looked up at her grandma and asked for her opinion. When she saw her grandma nodded, she obediently took the hand of this beautiful sister and followed her to buy buns.

The fragrant buns were steaming hot, and Anzi couldn't wait to take a bite as soon as he got them.

The delicious taste bloomed on the tip of his tongue, and Anzi squinted his eyes with happiness.

At this time, a loud "wow" came from the opposite side, followed by Chen Yanni's loud crying. Seeing this, the beautiful sister picked up Anzi and ran back quickly.

Chen Yanni regretted it so much. If she had known that the woman was harboring evil intentions, she would never have agreed to the marriage. It was she who harmed her son.

She cried so miserably that everyone who heard her felt sad and shed tears. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as "knowing it earlier" in the world.

Zhu Rourong was standing nearby, at a loss, and kept repeating, "It's not your fault, it's my fault for not judging people well enough." But Chen Yanni couldn't hear him...

Anzi carried four buns and followed Wang Po back to Kwun Tong to pick up garbage. Wang Po was old and unemployed, and her only source of income depended on garbage bins.

The grandparents and grandchildren picked up garbage all day, sold it before the recycling station closed, and then dragged their tired bodies back to the subdivided apartment.

At this time, Zhu Rourong was already waiting in front of Anzi's house.

Seeing Anzi, he floated over happily.

"Xiao Anzi, I'm leaving."

Anzi scratched his head, his big eyes blinking, "Is Uncle Rong going to save the world?"

Zhu Rourong was slightly stunned, then he grinned and said, "Yes, uncle, I am going to save the world."

"Wow, Uncle Rong is so awesome!" Anzi exclaimed.

Wang Po glanced in Zhu Rourong's direction and said nothing. She took out the key to open the door, but the key couldn't fit into the rusty lock for a long time.

"Goodbye, Anzi."

"Goodbye, Uncle Rong."

As soon as Anzi finished speaking, the key in Wang Po's hand was finally inserted into the keyhole. With a "click", the iron lock was opened, and Wang Po's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally fell back into her stomach.

"Let's go home." She held Anzi's hand, her tone no different from usual.

"Yeah." Anzi smiled sweetly and looked very happy.

Wang Po shook her head helplessly.

Little Nannan doesn't understand anything, she's like a fool.

────
A week later, Chen Yanni came to the door early in the morning.

She was carrying large and small bags of gifts, and her mental state was completely different from before. Although she was still a little haggard, she was relieved.

"Thank you so much this time, otherwise the murderer would definitely go unpunished."

Chen Yanni put the gift on the ground, broke off a banana from the bag and stuffed it into Anzi's pocket, "Try it and see if it's sweet."

After getting his grandma's consent, Anzi gave Chen Yanni a shy smile and said, "Thank you, auntie."

"Anzi is so good." Chen Yanni rubbed her fluffy head.

After sitting down on the edge of the bed, Wang Po brought hot water. Chen Yanni held the hot water and told Wang Po about Zhu Rourong's case.

It was not a home robbery at all. The people who killed Zhu Rourong were her daughter-in-law Wang Chunjuan and Afeng, a car washer who lived upstairs.

On July 14th, Zhu Rourong closed his shop an hour earlier than usual because he wanted to go burn paper for his late father.

In previous years, he would bring incense, candles, and paper money to the shop when he went out in the morning, but this year he forgot, so he had to go home again.

As a result, when he was returning home, he happened to see Wang Chunjuan and Afeng having an affair, and they started fighting.

Zhu Rourong was accidentally stabbed by A Feng. Wang Chunjuan decided to go all out and instigated A Feng to stab him to death. This way, she would not be afraid of Zhu Rourong divorcing her. Zhu Rourong had run the pork shop for so many years and had a good family background. Once Zhu Rourong died, she would be the first heir to his property.

Just like that, Zhu Rourong, who was originally only seriously injured, was murdered by the two. After his death, the two cleaned up the scene and removed all traces. Wang Chunjuan then found the shoes of her deceased father-in-law when he was young. It was in those shoes that A Feng rummaged around the house and then left in a swagger. It was the footprints he left behind and Wang Chunjuan's testimony that caused the police to misunderstand and think it was a simple burglary.

In fact, Wang Po was not very clear about the details of this case, and Zhu Rourong could not tell An Zi so much because the child was too young and he was afraid of scaring her.

Therefore, he only asked her to tell Wang Po that "Uncle Afeng wears Grandpa Zhurou's shoes", "Aunt Juan is a bad person", and "Aunt Juan often plays with Uncle Afeng".

Upon hearing the whole story, Wang Po would be lying if she said she wasn't shocked. She had never expected it to be so tortuous.
