Chapter 234 The Talent of a Scumbag
Ye Nuan only learned about Fan Peng's story during a casual conversation. Fan Peng mentioned that a woman had brought a child to see a company commander surnamed Wu. Ye Nuan didn't remember the woman's name, only that she was a company commander.
Ye Nuan's eyes flickered slightly. A woman with a child?
Could it be a white dove?
In her previous life, Bai Ge also left Anshi early, even earlier than Ye Nuan joined the army, but no one knew where she went.
Ye Nuan clearly remembered that when she met Wu Xingbang here in her previous life, he told her that he had come to seek refuge for certain reasons.
Was Wu Xingbang actually deceiving himself all along?
In fact, after leaving Anshi in her previous life, Bai Ge had been living here and had been supported by Wu Xingbang.
Ye Nuan felt a tightness in her chest. Because of the safe birth of her child, the resentment in Ye Nuan had faded a lot, but now that she thought about the things in her previous life, she couldn't help but feel resentful again.
She wished those two scoundrels were dead!
Several days had passed when Ye Nuan heard about this from Fan Peng. When she went to the guesthouse to inquire again, Bai Ge had already checked out.
But it can be proven that she did come.
"Comrade, could you help me find out when she checked out of the hotel? We're from the same hometown. I only received the call from my hometown today. If I had known she was staying here earlier, I would have come looking for her already."
Ye Nuan deliberately spoke with the Anshi accent in order to make the staff at the guesthouse believe that she was not lying.
Moreover, Ye Nuan had just revealed Bai Ge's age and mentioned that she was traveling with a child. She was very worried about the safety of the mother and child, so the staff at the guesthouse helped her check.
"The room was checked out three days ago. It was a man who came to check out, wearing a military uniform, but I don't know exactly where he went."
"Thank you, comrade. Do you know that man? I need to go find him and ask where he moved to."
"I don't know him, I haven't seen him much."
Wu Xingbang visited the guesthouse only a limited number of times, and Ye Nuan thanked him repeatedly after realizing there was no result.
It really is a white dove!
At least Ye Nuan was certain of this.
At this moment, Ye Nuan felt that she had been incredibly stupid in her past life!
From the moment I met Wu Xingbang, I felt like I was living in a web of deception.
Unfortunately, there's nothing she can do right now.
This is so frustrating!
It doesn't matter if you can't find the white dove. After thinking it over, Ye Nuan decided that she still had to target Wu Xingbang.
Liu Lihua was on her way home from get off work, pushing her cart. There was a corner ahead, but she wasn't in a hurry because there was a bag of flour on the back of the cart, so she slowly pushed it back home.
"Fan Peng, what does that woman you're talking about look like?"
"She was quite good-looking, although her clothes were a bit worn, she was still a nice person. And the first thing she said was that she was looking for a company commander surnamed Wu, which completely baffled me, how could I possibly know him!"
Fan Peng was unaware that he was also being used.
"Oh, there aren't many company commanders with the surname Wu. I have a fellow villager with the surname Wu, named Wu Xingbang."
Fan Peng's face lit up with joy: "Yes, yes, that's the name. I didn't remember it at the time, but that woman was asking about this name. However, I told her that I was just a family member who had just arrived here, so I couldn't help her much. I think the child she was holding was about one or two years old, and he looked a bit listless. I don't know if he was sick."
"Oh, I see! Then I think I know who it is."
"Ah? Do you know him?"
Ye Nuan chuckled: "Maybe, I'm not sure, but I know of one woman who has a child and is in contact with Wu Xingbang. There's only one. Never mind, it has nothing to do with us. Let's not talk about this kind of thing. It wouldn't be good if Company Commander Wu's wife heard about it."
"Why? Maybe they're relatives."
Ye Nuan didn't explain further, but simply gestured for him to walk forward: "If you say so, then so be it."
After the two left, Liu Lihua emerged from around the corner with a gloomy face. Her lips drooped down to her feet, showing that she was truly angry.
When Wu Xingbang got home, he didn't see any food prepared. He assumed that Liu Lihua had gotten off work late that day, so he didn't complain and offered to get the food himself.
"Where's your rice bowl? I'll go to the cafeteria and get it back. Do you want steamed buns or rice?"
Receiving no response, Wu Xingbang was somewhat surprised. Seeing the person lying on the bed, he took two steps forward and nudged Liu Lihua, asking, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Liu Lihua was initially very angry, but now she genuinely felt Wu Xingbang's concern, and she wondered how such a gentle and considerate husband could possibly be doing something bad behind her back.
"No, I just want to ask you something."
"Ah, you say."
"Did a woman come to see you a few days ago?"
Wu Xingbang looked surprised: "Who told you that? I don't know anything about it."
Liu Lihua stared intently into his eyes: "You still say you don't know? Someone saw it, that woman was holding a child!"
He spoke with such conviction that Wu Xingbang knew he had to smooth things over.
"Wait a minute, when are you referring to this?"
"It was just a few days ago, don't you know the exact time?"
In fact, Wu Xingbang was trying to stall for time so he could come up with an excuse for himself.
In just a short while, Wu Xingbang came up with a solution.
Actually, he had anticipated being questioned, so he prepared several answers, but she hadn't asked any questions in the past few days, so Wu Xingbang became careless.
"Well, about seven or eight days ago, a woman came to see me. But she came to return a money."
"Pay back the money?"
"Ah, it was when I was on a mission that I saw a woman sitting on the street crying, holding her child. She said she didn't have money to take her child to the doctor and the child was dying. I felt sorry for her and lent her twenty yuan. I had almost forgotten about it, it was a few months ago, but who knew she would come looking for me again."
Liu Lihua's eyes widened: "Are you serious?"
Although she was asking, she already believed most of it in her heart.
"How could it be fake? Several of my comrades were there when I lent her the money. Why don't I call them over and you can ask them?"
Liu Lihua pursed her lips and remained silent. Seeing this, Wu Xingbang decided to use a big move.
Liu Lihua was initially hesitant, but seeing Wu Xingbang turn around and leave decisively, she immediately grabbed his arm: "Where are you going?"
"You don't believe me? I'll go find witnesses! I can't do a good deed and then be suspected of messing around outside, can I? That would be so unfair!"
It has to be said that scumbags are all born with a talent for it.
Wu Xingbang's performance immediately won Liu Lihua's complete trust in him.
If it's fake, wouldn't a confrontation expose it?
"Don't go, I believe you."
Wu Xingbang did not immediately agree. Instead, he chuckled and asked, "You really believe me? I have several comrades who can testify. If you're worried about me colluding with others, I can tell you their names so you can verify with them."
