PDLP Chapter 243 A guilty conscience
Chapter 243 A guilty conscience
A lot of things were found in Zhang Wei's house, including gold, silver, and silver dollars, as well as some items promoting feudal superstition.
When these things were taken out, Zhang Wei was dumbfounded.
No, how come he didn't know there were these at home?
He knew about the gold and silver, which were some of the things he had taken from his ex-wife's family. But he really didn't know anything about the other things!
Zhang Wei instinctively looked at the white doves, assuming they belonged to her.
After all, he's a grown man, and he doesn't have the habit of burning incense and praying to Buddha.
Moreover, many people are quite sensitive to this kind of thing nowadays. It's mostly the women in the family who like to do this. In addition, Zhang Wei desperately claimed that those things were not his and that he had never seen them before in order to protect himself, which implicated Bai Ge.
The couple were both taken away.
The day after they were taken away, Ye Nuan arrived at an inconspicuous little courtyard, holding the key Fei Fei had given her.
This small courtyard was a place that Bai Ge specially rented after her previous place of residence was exposed.
At the time, she and Zhang Wei were not yet married, and she did not want to live alone in the dormitory, so she rented another house.
It's called a courtyard, but it's actually just a small, partitioned-off area within a large, crowded courtyard.
There are only two rooms in total.
After Ye Nuan went inside, she began to slowly look around.
Feifei said that Baige had been here several times, and once a male comrade in military uniform had also come here.
Ye Nuan guessed that the man must be Wu Xingbang.
Unexpectedly, even though they both have their own families, they still managed to get involved with each other again.
She didn't believe that the two of them had simply come here to talk.
If a man and a woman are alone together and really have something important to discuss, why can't they talk about it in public?
Even if the two of them were to stand on the street and speak openly, who could suspect that they were having an affair?
Ye Nuan walked around and felt that the white dove must be hiding something here.
Ye Nuan thought that Bai Ge would hide some evidence about Zhang Wei here so that she could easily control Zhang Wei in the future, which was Bai Ge's usual style.
But to her surprise, after searching high and low, she found a small yellow croaker and 1,500 yuan under the bed!
Bai Ge sold two small yellow croakers, earning 2,300 yuan. She gave 300 yuan to Wu Xingbang to settle the temporary job matter. With the remaining 2,000 yuan, she made a savings account with 1,000 yuan to fool Zhang Wei. She hid the remaining 1,000 yuan here.
As for the extra 500, Bai Ge already had it with her. She was afraid that Zhang Wei would think she had too much money and it would be difficult to explain where it came from, so she hid 1,500 here and only carried a few dozen yuan with her, which was still quite a lot.
Ye Nuan weighed the small yellow croaker in her hand a few times; each one weighed about half a pound.
She found eight in one go; it seems White Dove's lover has been giving her quite a bit of benefits.
Besides these, Ye Nuan also found a small box containing gold and silver jewelry; just by looking at the items, it was clear they were all antiques.
Among them was a gold bracelet inlaid with gemstones, the very bracelet that Bai Ge had taken out that day to have Wu Xingbang sell.
Unexpectedly, the bracelets didn't sell; instead, they all benefited Ye Nuan.
Ye Nuan searched again to make sure she hadn't left anything behind before cleaning up the traces, locking the door, and throwing the key into her spatial storage.
With so many good things, she needs to find out how much they can sell for.
As for those old items, she has no intention of selling them. She can keep them to pass on to her children in the future, or sell them when needed.
Just as Ye Nuan was about to leave the large courtyard, she heard a commotion outside and immediately hid behind a pile of firewood.
Who could it be in the middle of the night?
Wu Xingbang?
Ye Nuan's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth tightly with one hand, afraid that she would make a sound and attract his attention.
Wu Xingbang also had a key to the place, so he quickly unlocked the door and went inside.
However, Wu Xingbang soon came out again, looking furious.
"How could there not be? I clearly saw her hide something here! Did she move it?"
Ye Nuan hid in the corner, her eyes darting around. She realized that Wu Xingbang was also eyeing these valuables.
Ha, I thought they were truly in love.
It turns out that they can only keep pestering each other if there's something to gain.
Previously, Bai Ge wanted Wu Xingbang's money, so she clung to him relentlessly.
Wu Xingbang now knows that Bai Ge has something valuable, so he wants to make use of her.
Tsk tsk, were the two of them entangled because of interests in their past lives?
Ye Nuan had been squatting for quite a while, and she shifted her foot slightly. Unexpectedly, this slight movement caught Wu Xingbang's attention.
"Who?"
Ye Nuan was so frightened that she dared not move.
Because it was dark, and due to the angle, she could see Wu Xingbang, but Wu Xingbang could not see her.
But this is still not safe.
Ye Nuan even considered hiding in the spatial dimension.
Wu Xingbang walked in her direction, tilting his body to look her over, but stopped after a few steps.
Ye Nuan's heart was pounding, but seeing that he didn't move, she thought she could get away. But to her surprise, the next second, Wu Xingbang turned on his flashlight.
Ye Nuan didn't need to think anymore; before the flashlight shone on her, she quickly hid in her spatial dimension.
Ye Nuan could see what was happening outside and knew she was safely hidden, but she was still very nervous.
I wonder if this is because I feel guilty.
Wu Xingbang looked around with a flashlight, and after confirming that no one was there, he quickly left.
However, Ye Nuan knew that Wu Xingbang was a suspicious person, and that she had learned a lot in the years since she married Gu Hanchuan.
So she didn't rush out.
About two minutes later, Wu Xingbang turned back.
Moreover, this time they went straight to the place where Ye Nuan had previously hidden.
But when he found nothing there, he breathed a sigh of relief and left with noticeably lighter steps.
Ye Nuan finally relaxed.
That Wu Xingbang is a real sly one!
Ye Nuan deliberately took a different main road and rode her bike back, carrying a first-aid kit on her back. If anyone noticed her, they would only assume she was going to a patient's house or to the hospital.
Ye Nuan hadn't ridden far when she saw a person standing ahead, holding a flashlight and waving it around.
Ye Nuan was shaken twice, and her eyes were almost unable to open.
"Who is it?! Are you crazy?!"
Wu Xingbang had been staring at the road he came out of, but only a few teenagers came out, seemingly to do their homework together. He didn't see any adults.
He heard a noise coming from the opposite direction, so he turned around to shine his flashlight, only to find that it was someone he knew.
"Wu Xingbang? What are you doing here? What are you doing waving a flashlight around like that in the middle of the night? You think you're the only one with one?!"
