AWB Chapter 1871 Pass? Was this also part of Grandma's plan?
Chapter 1871 Pass? Was this also part of Grandma's plan?
Li Xiangnan and Wang Defa left in a hurry, and the lively and warm atmosphere in the room seemed to have been partially taken away, leaving behind a sense of stagnation and speculation.
Everyone looked puzzled, but out of politeness, they didn't pry too much.
Lin Chuqiao turned her gaze away from the doorway and back to the children.
But the doubts and astonishment that arose from the similarity in my heart did not completely dissipate; they were merely temporarily suppressed by this sudden interlude.
She got up to check on the sleeping Xitang, tucked the little one in, and then looked at Duoduo nestled next to Youwei, watching them watch TV. But a strange sense of familiarity lingered in her heart, like a tiny thorn stuck in her heart. It didn't hurt, but she couldn't ignore it.
Lin Jianzhou, having weathered many storms, quickly regained his composure and smiled at everyone in the room, especially the slightly worried Ruobai and Zhu Qiuju, saying, "Xiang Nan's career is growing bigger and bigger. With greater ability comes greater responsibility, more friends, colleagues, and classmates, and more things to do. It's normal to have to deal with unexpected matters! Let's chat. Where were we? Oh, right, about Weimin's time in the army..."
His words were both comforting and reassuring, which slightly enlivened the atmosphere in the room.
Wang Xiuqin quickly chimed in, pulling Zhu Qiuju aside to continue the previous topic, "Qiuju, going to kindergarten is so popular now. When children are five or six, they can attend a year of preschool and then go to primary school. I heard some leaders are even thinking of extending the school system to three years, so children can start school at three! It would relieve the burden on dual-income families. Then, Xiao Xitang could go to the government-run kindergarten..."
The atmosphere inside the house gradually warmed up. However, at the same time, Li Xiangnan had already pulled Wang Defa through the middle courtyard and arrived at a relatively quiet place in the front yard.
"What's wrong? Are you in a hurry?" Li Xiangnan took out a cigarette and handed it to him, his brows furrowed.
Wang Defa looked around to make sure no one was there before lowering his voice and saying urgently, "I just received a call from Zi Mo, saying that Captain Guo went to him to identify a few people who are related to Sun Qisheng's case!"
"Sun Qisheng?"
Hearing this, Li Xiangnan was somewhat puzzled.
Sun Qisheng's case has been closed for some time now, and it's basically a done deal. Except for the "master" he contacted behind the scenes, whose identity still needs to be verified, the case is basically clear and the facts are clear. Now we just need to secure the evidence and submit it to the court for sentencing.
Why is Ke Defa bringing news about him again?
"What exactly happened?" Li Xiangnan's heart skipped a beat as he asked, "Wasn't his case closed? Everyone who was supposed to be arrested has been arrested!"
Wang Defa's expression was very serious.
"The case is closed, but a few small fry have slipped through the net and haven't been caught yet. When Zimo went to identify the people, he saw two of them and felt they looked familiar. After thinking for a long time, he realized that he had seen them around Nanluoguxiang!"
"it's here?"
Li Xiangnan was also alarmed.
"Although we're not sure if they're targeting us, we need to be careful about any coincidences at this critical juncture. You just had a baby, and Ruobai is still in her postpartum period. We can't afford to be careless!"
It's actually near this alley!
It's right here beside me!
Li Xiangnan's heart sank suddenly.
He instantly thought of the gentleman Sun Qisheng had mentioned before, and then recalled the various speculations he had discussed with Ruobai regarding Mu Huanrong's arrival in Beijing and the return of Hao Jian, the bodyguard who served his grandmother...
Could it be that I was right after all?
Is someone trying to harm me?
Were the people arrested Sun Qisheng's men?
Or was he someone that Mr. Sun placed next to Sun Qisheng?
Is it that Sun Qisheng's remaining forces are still harboring evil intentions and want revenge?
Or was it originally at the master's behest?
Either way, it means danger is approaching this family that has just welcomed a new life.
"Is the information reliable? Did those people reveal anything to Captain Guo?" Li Xiangnan hurriedly asked, his eyes sharp.
“Song Ziming’s intuition is always right. He called me right after I finished recognizing the person this morning!” Wang Defa said solemnly. “He also reminded me that he has already arranged for the Song family to investigate who this person called ‘Mr.’ is and what he wants to do. He also told me to come and inform you as soon as possible that you must be more vigilant recently, especially your sister-in-law and children. Try not to go out during this period!”
Li Xiangnan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Of course, this couldn't be told to the family.
Parents are ordinary people; if they knew there was danger outside, they would definitely panic.
Especially Ruobai and her mother, who are in their postpartum period and have to take care of the baby, cannot be frightened.
However, if we don't notify them, and something goes wrong, the consequences could be disastrous.
"Defa," Li Xiangnan said thoughtfully, "Contact Mo immediately. I can't make phone calls from home, but he knows about this situation, so he asked you to tell me! Have his people investigate this matter quickly, and report back to me immediately if there's any news! Also, find two trustworthy, quick-witted people, preferably new faces, to take turns keeping an eye on things near the yard for us, and don't make a fuss about it!"
"Understood," Wang Defa nodded, "I'll take care of it right away!"
"Also," Li Xiangnan called him back, adding, "Don't tell your family about this yet, not anyone, especially Ruobai and my mother!"
"I know, I understand!"
Watching Defa leave in a hurry, Li Xiangnan stood under a jujube tree in the front yard, sunlight filtering through the branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
An invisible pressure was coming at him from all directions.
The family mysteries brought back by Grandma's return to Beijing have not yet been solved, and doubts about the relationship between the Mu sisters also loom over the family. Now, the family also faces possible external dangers.
Everything seemed to be accelerated and intensified because of the birth of their daughter, Xitang.
He clenched his fists, and his eyes suddenly hardened.
Whether it's the undercurrents within the family or external threats, they will all be exposed before Li Xiangnan.
How can a man be considered a true man if he can't even protect his own family?
"What are you thinking about?"
Just then, Zhou Yuejin's voice suddenly appeared beside him. Li Xiangnan turned his head and saw that the other man was passing by with a bucket of water on his shoulder. "It's Brother Yuejin! I was just talking to Defa!"
"He's gone?" Zhou Yuejin glanced outside suspiciously. "I just came over and saw you standing there in a daze. I wondered what you were doing! It's been so long!"
"Hehe, it's nothing! I've been busy lately, and I'm a little worried about home..." Li Xiangnan scratched his head, not hiding anything from his comrade.
Zhou Yuejin nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on Li Xiangnan's face for a moment before he suddenly said, "Little Li, don't worry too much. I'm in the front yard, and Squad Leader Hao is in the back. We'll guard the two passes for you; no one can get in!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiangnan abruptly looked up at those eyes and his whole body trembled.
In the darkness, he truly felt a magical force protecting him from all sides!
And now, Zhou Yuejin and Hao Jian are living examples!
He raised his head and looked into the depths of Yanjing City, his eyes sparkling.
Could it be... that Grandma was behind all of this?
That's just too incredible! What incredible strategic planning ability!
Li Xiangnan withdrew his gaze, only to suddenly realize that Zhou Yuejin had left sometime earlier, glancing at him indifferently from the doorway of the back room, as if he hadn't said those words just now.
"..."
He suddenly shuddered, and an idea uncontrollably appeared in his mind.
Could it be that Zhou Yuejin, like Hao Jian, carries a secret mission, infiltrating the Li family?
He turned his head to look in the direction of the Zhou family and the Hao family, and increasingly felt that these were indeed two narrow passes, tightly surrounding and protecting the Li family.
"Was it Grandma who did this?"
