Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1358

Chapter 1358: Coercion, Persuasion
Hearing Chen Jianmin’s words, Shitou nodded and asked, “Brother Jianmin, can I bring them to visit Xiao Feng at Second Aunt Lu’s house?”

“Of course,” Chen Jianmin agreed readily.

“Yay! Thank you, Brother Jianmin!” Shitou cheered happily.

Seeing how happy her brother was, Li Shu smiled at Chen Jianmin and said, “Thank you, Jianmin.”

“My sisters will be happy to have more friends too,” Chen Jianmin replied.

As he looked at them smiling happily, Chen Jianmin was also delighted. If Shitou had a good relationship with his sisters, when their families became relatives, they would have a harmonious family.

After a few hours, Chen Jianmin had finished helping Li Shu wash the clothes and clean up the weeds in the garden. Before leaving, he divided the dishes into two portions and brought half back home.

At the same time in the county town, a man with his face wrapped up knocked on the door of a dilapidated house. Not long after, the door was opened and a man said, “You are here, come in.”

Cai Bocheng quickly entered the house and asked, “How is the investigation?”

The man handed him an envelope and said, “Everything you want to know is here.”

Taking the envelope, Cai Bocheng gave him a thick stack of money and turned to leave.

But before he left, the man warned him, “You should be careful. When I investigated this person, I found out that someone was also investigating you.”

The moment he heard this, Cai Bocheng frowned, but he said nothing and left without looking back. After he left, another man walked out from the back room and looked at the closed door thoughtfully.

“Sir, I have done what you asked me to do. Can you let me go now?” the man asked.

He Xieyu glanced at the man and said, “Don’t worry, your name won’t be included in the next operation. But you can’t go yet. I still need you to do another thing for me.”

The man hesitated for a while before he gritted his teeth and asked, “Sir, please tell me what you want me to do.”

Nodding at his wise decision, He Xieyu leaned closer to him and whispered something. The moment the man heard this, his eyes widened and he refused instantly, “I can’t do that!”

Raising his eyebrows, He Xieyu looked at the man and asked with a smile, “Are you sure you want to refuse?”

The man looked at the gentle man in front of him and felt that he was much more dangerous than Cai Bocheng. No matter how ruthless and resourceful Cai Bocheng was, he couldn’t be compared to this person.

All of his weaknesses and evidence against him were in this person’s hands. If Cai Bocheng took revenge, at most he would lose his own life. But if this man handed the evidence to the government, even his family would be implicated!

He Xieyu waited for him patiently. After a long time, the man finally made up his mind and said, “Alright. I will do it for you. But after I’m done with this matter, I want all the evidence in your hands.”

When he heard this, He Xieyu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, as long as you do your job well, I will not only give you the evidence, I will also give you 500 yuan as a reward.”

Hearing that he could earn money, the man nodded. 500 yuan was not a small amount. With that money, he could stop doing this business. The risk he took this time would be worth it.

Since they had reached an agreement, He Xieyu left the dilapidated house and walked through the small alley, returning to his car.

After he sat in the back seat, his adjutant looked at him through the rearview mirror and asked, “Sir, are we going back to the city?”

Tapping his fingers on his knees, He Xieyu looked at the sunset and said, “Go to the inn. We will return tomorrow.”

“Understood,” the adjutant nodded and drove the car to the state-owned inn.

Meanwhile, after Cai Bocheng left the black market, he returned to his house and checked the information. After reading for a while, he frowned and placed the document on the desk.

He thought that he could use Feng Chen as his shield again, but after he read the investigation report, there was nothing he could use at all. His family background was clean, and he had a clean, boring life.

“This man is so useless,” he muttered as his frown deepened.

Thinking about his informant’s words, it seemed that he couldn’t stay in this place for too long. Before leaving, he had to find a way to bring Yang Mengyao and his son back with him.

While he was planning his next move, the phone on his desk rang, pulling him out of his thoughts.

“Hello.”

From the phone, he heard a man’s low voice. “It’s me. The situation in the Capital is unstable. We are ordered to return as soon as possible. Clear up your trace and retreat. The ship—”

“He’s there, catch him!”

Before he finished his words, there was a shout from the phone. The next moment, Cai Bocheng only heard the sound of a busy tone, as the other side had already hung up.

After he received this phone call, his previously calm heart was now in chaos. The situation of his colleagues was unknown, and someone was investigating him.

He thought for a moment before he decisively packed up the important documents in his desk and went to open the secret compartment behind a painting.

He took out two stacks of money, a folder, a gun, and ammunition. After he packed up everything, he left the house and went to find Yang Mengyao.

Not long after he left, the man from the black market sneaked into his house and pulled out a folder from his clothes. He walked into the study room and looked around. Seeing the slanted painting, he removed it and saw the compartment on the wall.
