Chapter 15: Trapped in the House

  It's no wonder that Li Yajuan and Ye Nan are filled with jealousy, Sun Guafu Sun Qiaoxian is a notorious figure, the married women in the Construction Bureau can't even mention her name without changing color. After her husband passed away, she didn't go to work anymore and started doing "eating and taking some away" kind of business. She has a specialty, only targeting people from the Construction Bureau under the name of being a martyr's family member. According to insiders, her "success rate" has already reached two digits, and it's even in the twenties.

  Xiang Tianliang was young and strong, full of energy, often came to Fu Bureau's home to play, while Sun Qiaoxian happened to live not far away, it is very likely that he met this situation, often walked along the river, his shoes were also wet.

  It took a few minutes for Tianliang to recount the encounter with Chen Dabao and Sun Qiaoxian that night, of course, including Chen Dabao's subsequent "confession"... "Now you two sisters understand, right? I only knew about the existence of Widow Sun from then on. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known her name was Sun Qiaoxian."

  Ye Nan seemed to let out a long sigh of relief, "It's dawn, don't think I'm talking too much, but with women like Sun Qiao Xian, you mustn't go and provoke her."

  "Yan said it makes sense." Li Yajuan stared at Xiang Tianliang and emphasized.

  Tian Liang cried and laughed, "You... Alas, are you here to help me investigate or interrogate me?" In his heart, he thought that Sun Qiao Xian was not someone to be trifled with, but these two women were able to provoke him.

  "Right, almost forgot about the main thing." Li Yajuan smiled awkwardly.

  Ye Nan asked: "Tian Liang, how did you know Chen Dabao would come back?"

  Xiang Tianliang smiled and said, "According to Chen Dabao, Sun Widow's main activity during the day is to find people to play cards. There is a teahouse nearby with a card room inside, and Sun Widow usually goes there. As long as she has a playing partner, she will go there after breakfast and even eat lunch there. So I think Chen Dabao went there to look for Sun Widow. He came with a package and left empty-handed, so he must be coming back."

  "Then we'll just wait for him here." Ye Nang said.

  Li Yajuan smiled and said, "Ye Nan, you're silly. It's morning now. If Chen Dabao is going to play cards with Sun Qiaoxian all day, do we have to wait stupidly for a whole day?"

  Xiang Tianliang had an idea, "Ye Jie, you drive, let's go take a look and see if Chen Dabao and Sun Qiaoxian are at the teahouse."

  Following Xiang Tianliang's guidance, Xia Li drove quickly to a teahouse nearby.

  The task of entering the teahouse was assigned to "amateur detective" Li Yajuan, who had been eager to give it a try.

  "Lǐ jiě, you'd better wear Yè jiě's sunglasses, remember to keep your mouth shut as much as possible, or else Chén Dàbǎo will hear you."

  Ye Nan also wanted to go, because she felt that her "limelight" had been stolen by Li Ya Juan. Women are naturally strong-willed and love to show off, and even good sisters have a competitive relationship.

  "Sister Ye, driving is very important for work."

  Xiang Tianliang said with a serious and solemn expression, Ye Nan finally shut up.

  Li Yajuan entered the teahouse and came out in a hurry after a short while.

  "Xiao Xiang, Chen Da Bao and Sun Qiao Xian are all here, Sun Qiao Xian is playing cards, Chen Da Bao is standing beside watching." Li Ya Juan panted and drilled into the car.

  "Didn't you go into their room?"

  "I didn't dare, I was looking through the small glass window on the door."

  Xiang Tianliang smiled and nodded, "Great, Ye sister, let's head back to Happiness Street immediately."

  Li Yajuan understood what Tianliang meant, "You want to go to Sun Qiaoxian's home?"

  "Yes, I'll go in and take a look."

  Ye Nan also perked up, "How about a thorough search?" and started the car.

  "Are you two afraid?" Intimidation is a good way to deal with women.

  "Who's afraid of whom?" The two women exclaimed in unison.

  This time, Xiang Tianliang instructed Ye Nan to stop the car at a small alley entrance about 20 meters away from Sun Qiaoxian's home. The surrounding area had few pedestrians during the day, and in case of an emergency, it would be more convenient to retreat.

  "Little Xiao, the door is locked, how can we get in?" Li Yajuan's eyes were raised.

  He smiled and pulled out a string of peculiarly shaped keys from his pocket, "This was a gift from our teacher when we graduated from college, I didn't think it would come in handy at the Construction Bureau."

  Li Yajuan's eyes lit up, "Really?"

  Xiang Tian nodded towards them, "You two wait for me in the car. If Chen Dabao and Sun Qiaoxian come back, just give three coughs to notify me."

  "I'll go too." Li Yajuan was eager for battle.

  "I'm going too." Ye Nan was also very determined.

  "Alright, let's go in together, but remember, we can't leave any traces of ourselves, don't mess with things, and put everything back the way it was..."

  Xiang Tianliang made a mistake, he agreed to the duel requests of two women. He reasoned with common sense that Chen Dabao and Sun Qiaoxian would not return home before lunch.

  The movements of the three people were stealthy and secretive, especially the two women, who were both tense and excited, which made Xiang Tianliang also feel tense.

  A small yard, empty and desolate, with walls on three sides and a single-story brick tile house of three rooms, which should be an old house from the 50s or 60s.

  The middle room is relatively wide, obviously the living room, called "Tangwu" by Qinghe people, a place for eating, resting and receiving guests. The light is dim, with an old sofa, a 14-inch color TV, and next to it, an eight-immortal table and several square stools. It seems that Sun Qiaoxian is not a woman who knows how to enjoy life.

  To the right was a kitchen and storage room, he only lifted the curtain to take a look when it got light outside, saw two women actively rushing into the bedroom on the other side, sighed with a bitter smile, shook his head and sat down on that old sofa, from now on, must never bring women to do this kind of thing again.

  "Found it!" was Ye Nang's cheerful cry.

  Xiang Tianliang hastily entered the bedroom, "Ye Jie, can you keep it down? Do you think this is your own home?"

  Yenong stuck out her tongue, "It's this school bag."

  However, when Li Yajuan opened her school bag, she was disappointed. "Xiao Xiang, it's three boxes of video tapes."

  "Let him go and have a look around." Xiang Tianliang said in his heart, even if Chen Dabao stole from the director's office, he wouldn't have anything on him now.

  Just then, there was a sound from the courtyard.

  "Dabao, what's wrong with you? You even forgot to close the door when going out."

  She is Sun's widow, Sun Qiaoxian.

  "I'm closed, I'm closed." Chen Dabao's voice.

  "You're such an idiot, it's clearly not locked."

  "Oh... probably, I was thinking of you and forgot to turn it off."

  "Deadly look."

  A man and a woman outside were flirting with each other, while a man and two women inside were all stunned.

  Sun Qiao's home had no back door. This bedroom only had a front window and no rear window. As long as someone outside stood in the main room, three people would be like fish in a pot.

  Li Yajuan looked at Xiang Tianliang with tension, while Ye Nan was so scared that her legs were trembling and her round face turned pale.

  Xiang Tianliang was also somewhat flustered.

  Before they knew it, Chen Dabao and Sun Qiaoxian were already at the gate of the main house, frolicking and playing...
