Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 451

Chapter 451: Suspect, Pretend, Targeted ( 1 )
Lu Jueyu sat on the chair next to her and said, “Then Xiao Huang should eat more.”

Dong Huang nodded and said, “Foster mother, foster father, I’m sorry for making you worry and causing you trouble.”

Seeing her sitting with her head down, Li Chenmo patted her head and asked, “If you encounter such a situation again, what will you do?”

Dong Huang thought for a while and said, “Xiao Huang will run to find my brother.”

Hearing her answer, Li Chenmo nodded and said, “Being brave is a great thing, but it is a stupid decision to fight against others at the expense of your own safety or life. If you encounter the same situation, go find your brothers and inform your teachers. Do not risk your own safety. Do you understand?”

Although she still didn’t fully understand her adoptive father’s words, Dong Huang still nodded and said, “Foster father, Xiao Huang understands.”

“Good, let’s eat before the food is cold.” Li Chenmo said with a smile.

Dong Li sat opposite his sister as he looked at her, and sighed. Just by looking at her face, he knew that his sister only understood half of what their adoptive father said.

After dinner, Dong Li and Dong Huang returned to their rooms, while Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu cleared the table and washed the dishes.

When the sky darkened, Zhang Dongmei came over with Chen Anwen, Wang Muxiao, and Pan Meijia. As usual, they went to the kitchen to prepare the pre-order.

Due to the strict patrols recently in the county town and smaller towns, the number of pre-orders is reduced by half. It only took an hour and a half for them to have the pre-ordered snacks ready.

Before they were leaving, Lu Jueyu took out her purse and said, “Sisters-in-law, Meijia, this is the money we make from selling snacks. From now on, I plan to divide the money every ten days.”

After taking her share, Wang Muxiao smiled and said, “Jueyu, I will follow your arrangement.”

“I don’t have a problem either.” Pan Meijia added.

Seeing no one objected, Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “Alright then. In the future, we will do it like this.”

After they left, Lu Jueyu locked the door and went to the bedroom to read and wait for Bajie.

Just before midnight, there was a knock on the backyard door. Hearing the knock on the door, Lu Jueyu closed the book and got ready to go to the kitchen.

Li Chenmo frowned as he listened to the knocks and stopped her, “Wife, that’s not Bajie.”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu was stunned and said, “Husband, if it’s not Bajie, maybe it’s your second brother.”

Li Chenmo thought for a while and said, “It’s not my second brother either. If my second brother came to see us at this time, there must be something urgent. Therefore, he would knock on the front door because it is closer to his home.”

“Then who will visit us at this time?” she asked.

“This could be a trap. Whoever knocks on the door, they are not coming with a good intention.”

After saying that, Li Chenmo blew out the candle and pulled his wife to lie down. They lay with their eyes open and listened to the knock on the door. Fifteen minutes later, the knocking finally stopped and he heard someone whistling, followed by a series of footsteps.

After a while, there was finally no movement in the backyard. After waiting for another ten minutes, Li Chenmo sat up and said, “Wife, you stay here. I’m going to check on the situation.”

Lu Jueyu held his hand and said worriedly, “Husband, be careful.”

Caressing her head, he nodded at her, “Mhmm, I will.”

After putting on his shoes, Li Chenmo walked to the backyard without making a sound. When he reached the gate, he slowed down while listening to the sounds around him. When he put his ear close to the door, he heard some movements outside.

He looked out through the gap in the bamboo fence and saw several unfamiliar men squatting behind the bushes. Judging by their stature, they are well-trained in combat. Squinting his eyes, Li Chenmo carefully inspected their clothes and manners.

When he saw one of them wearing a gun on his waist, his eyes darkened. It seems that those who targeted Houzi and his group have finally taken action against him. As things stand, it would be best to stop selling their food to the black market for now.

Just as he was thinking about how to get these people leaving, he saw another group of people hiding secretly behind a tree. At first, he thought they were the same group as those men. However, when they suddenly rushed over and got entangled in a fight with those people, Li Chenmo finally saw their uniforms.

It turned out that the new group of people were the police officers. For a moment, there were shouts and sounds of fighting echoing outside. It would be suspicious if no one comes out to check the situation with this kind of commotion.

So, after waiting for nearly ten minutes and seeing that the situation was under control by the officers, Li Chenmo messed up his hair and clothes and shouted loudly with a hint of fear in his voice, “Who is it?!”

Sure enough, after he shouted, one of the officers knocked on the gate and said, “Comrade, please open the door.”

Li Chenmo opened the door after a moment and looked at the situation in front of him. He opened his eyes in shock, and asked, “What’s going on? Who are you?”

The officer saw his messy hair and clothes, and guessed he had been awakened by the commotion. The officer took out his badge, showed it to him, and said, “Comrade, we are the police officers. I’m sorry to disturb you. These people are wanted criminals.”

Hearing his words, Li Chenmo showed shock and fear on his face and said, “Officer, why are these criminals here? Are they hiding near my house?”
