me and a divorced housewife

Chapter 174 Doubt

Faced with such embarrassment, I was about to reveal my secrets, but at the last moment, I suddenly saw the family portrait of my classmate on the wall, and a flash of inspiration came to my mind.

"Are you sure this sock is yours?" I said.

She was taken aback, and said, "It must be. Besides me wearing silk stockings, who else is in this room? Could it be yours? Do you still have this habit?"

"Of course it's not mine," I said, "but it's not yours either, it's hers." I pointed behind her.

As soon as Liu Ruyue turned around, there was nothing, she didn't react, and suddenly, with a shudder, she rushed over, "Don't scare me, there is no one in this room!"

I couldn't laugh or cry, she thought I said there was a ghost behind her.

"Hahaha..." I laughed out loud, "Can't you see such a big man?"

"You can do it!" She punched me hard, "I'm afraid of this the most, don't make fun of me like this, I dare not sleep alone at night!"

"That's right, I don't dare to sleep alone." I smiled.

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me honestly what's going on."

"Look," I pointed to a middle-aged woman in the photo on the wall and said, "I mean, those stockings belong to her."

"who is she?"

"My classmate's mother." I said.

It just so happened that when my classmate's mother took this family portrait, she was wearing stockings, and Liu Ruyue was not quite sure whether the stockings belonged to her, so she was a little dubious.

I quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "My bedroom used to be her mother's bedroom, so it's only normal to have stockings under the bed."

Only then did Liu Ruyue seem to believe it.

A stone in my heart finally fell to the ground. I am very grateful to my classmate’s mother. My aunt really knows how to dress. If you say she wears something else, I will die today.Liu Ru must be branded as a wretched and perverted pervert.

I went back to the bedroom, and while I was thankful that I passed the test smoothly, I didn't forget to call Meng Tingyun and ask about Mr. Meng's situation. Although I really didn't want to get involved in their family, after all, Yun is my employee, and Mr. Meng can be regarded as a half-hearted person, so I still care about him.

After answering the phone, it sounded like Meng Tingyun's mood had calmed down.

"How is Mr. Meng's situation now?" I asked.

"It's okay." Meng Tingyun said, "It's just a slight concussion."

"Why did you faint after a slight concussion?"

"The doctor said that he was frightened, and he had a heart attack, which caused him to faint for a short time. But he has recovered, except that the skin on his head was scratched a little, which is fine," she said.

"Okay, then I can rest assured."

"Thank you, Mr. Yu." She said, "It's rare that you still miss him."

"It's nothing, it should be, by the way, didn't you say why?" I asked.

"Chen Lu came over and said that the brakes seemed to be malfunctioning, and something was missing." Meng Tingyun said.

"Huh?" I immediately thought of the black figure crawling out from under the car.

"The driver was too careless. Chen Lu and the others scolded Xiao Zhang just now, and Xiao Zhang cried. He said that it was his own responsibility. He didn't check the car properly. He said that he would pay full compensation and resign." Meng Tingyun said. "Although I also know that he is dereliction of duty, he is actually quite pitiful, and his family is waiting for him to support him, so I am also very conflicted."

"Let's talk about it after we figure it out," I said.

……

After I hung up the phone, I couldn't help but fell into deep thought. I don't know if it was because the black shadow left a too weird impression on me, or out of sympathy for the driver Xiao Zhang. When we went back to Meng Tingyun's hometown, we took the car driven by Xiao Zhang, and we talked with him a little bit. Judging from his speech and driving, he is not the kind of sloppy person, but very cautious, probably because he knows The value of that Audi car, so be extra careful. Sometimes, when reversing the car, the space is a little smaller, and I feel that it can pass by my intuition. He has to observe for a long time, and finally passes inch by inch cautiously.

So I think he is definitely not the kind of person who doesn't realize that there is a problem with the brakes, and drives until the parts fall off.

I went to work the next day, and I was thinking about it all day.

Should I tell Boss Meng about this? I thought of Chen Lu's attitude towards me. I really shouldn't meddle in my own business. But if this is a conspiracy, the purpose is very clear. It is to kill people. How could Boss Meng? Not that there is still danger.

In addition, as Meng Tingyun said, I do sympathize with the driver Xiao Zhang. The reason why he is so cautious is probably because he cherishes this job. As Mr. Meng is a person, he should be good to him. You have to support your family, so if you lose your job, what will the whole family do?
But think about it again, if this is really a conspiracy, once I tell Boss Meng and let the man behind the scenes know, wouldn't I be in danger too?Thinking about the ugly faces of Chen Lu and Chen Ke's group, it's really a headache.

After thinking about it for a whole day, I decided to find out whether it was a conspiracy or not. If it is verified, it is indeed a conspiracy. Then I will find a way to tell Mr. Meng quietly, so as to save Meng. Summing up Xiao Zhang and being able to protect himself, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.

Having made up my mind, I called Meng Tingyun after get off work. Meng Tingyun was very surprised when he heard that I wanted Xiao Zhang's phone number, "Why do you want his phone number?"

"A little thing."

"What can you do with him?" She asked curiously.

"Isn't he unemployed? I want to comfort him." I said.

"I didn't see that you are still so sympathetic."

"Of course, people call me little ***."

"***who is it?"

"……goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, I called Xiao Zhang according to the number Meng Tingyun had sent.

Xiao Zhang was a little surprised when he heard that it was me. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood. When I said I would invite him to dinner, he was even more surprised, but he still agreed.

In the evening, I found a barbecue stand, and when he came over, after Xiao Zhang came, he didn't eat anything but just drank.I can't stop it, so I can only let him drink. I'm in a bad mood, but drinking can really relieve a little.

After drinking for a while, he was almost finished. He started to cry, and told me about his troubles. He told me that at work, Chen Lu often made things difficult for him. There is only an old father who is sick in bed, and a younger sister who is going to school. They need this job to support the family, so they can only swallow their anger.

"Actually, these are not the main reasons. If I leave Changhai, I can find another job, so I don't have to suffer from such idleness. I can't bear to part with Mr. Meng. You don't know, Mr. Meng is very kind to me and to the people around me. , are very good, he knows my situation, not only pays me more wages, but also often gives me money in various names... So... I feel that I am very sorry for Mr. Meng..."

As he spoke, tears fell from his eyes. Seeing a man crying bitterly made me feel really bad, but I didn't know how to comfort him.

"What does Boss Meng say about this?"

"Although Boss Meng told me that it's okay and told me not to be burdened, I don't have the face to continue driving for him." Xiao Zhang cried.

I secretly admire Mr. Meng for his personality.

"Xiao Zhang, don't cry, let me ask you a few questions." I said.

"Ask." He wiped away his tears and said.

"The first one is technical. I don't know much about it. I think you should be familiar with it. What caused the brake failure of the car this time?" I asked.

He thought for a while and said, "In general, there are many reasons. This time it was caused by oil leakage from the hydraulic booster brakes. Without the booster, the brakes cannot be stepped on, resulting in the car not being able to stop."

"Is this a common cause?"

He shook his head and said, "It's not common. If it is common, then there are dangers everywhere on the road. The main reason for this kind of accident is insufficient daily maintenance, and it was not discovered in time."

"Don't you usually take care of it?"

"How is it possible?" He said, "I treat this car better than my father. I always go to maintain it and check it frequently."

"Then why does this happen?"

He thought for a while, lowered his head and sighed, and said, "I'm unlucky. Maybe the road back to my hometown was too bumpy last time. Maybe the parts are loose. Although the chance of this is very small, who made me catch up."

I think this is because Xiao Zhang is too kind and didn't think about it at all. The road back to Meng Tingyun's hometown is indeed a little bumpy, but it will never shake the parts loose. My third uncle drove a pickup truck to collect agricultural and sideline products in the countryside. The road is even bumpier than the road in her hometown, and I don't see him doing any maintenance, and nothing has happened to her, let alone millions of Audi cars, and Audis that are often maintained, this is absolutely impossible!

Thinking of this, I asked again, "Second, I want to ask, where did you park your car last night?"

He recalled a moment and said, "It's on the left side of the hotel entrance. That's the parking space reserved by the hotel for Mr. Meng. Mr. Meng used to park there when he was working in Shangri-La. Why do you ask this?"

That's right, this further confirmed my judgment, the car that the black shadow climbed out of was in that position.

It seems that this is indeed man-made and not an accident.

"It's nothing, just ask." I said, "Finally, I want to ask, does Chen Lu usually drive by herself, or take your car?"

Xiao Zhang thought for a while and said, "Sometimes she drives by herself, and sometimes she rides in my car, but most of the time she rides in my car. She doesn't like to drive, and she mainly wants to order me and take revenge on me."

When all my doubts were answered, and when these answers were gathered together, the problem became obvious. I was basically sure that this matter had a lot to do with that woman, Chen Lu, at least she was also an insider.When this woman came to my mind again, I actually shuddered.
