Rebooting 60, let's go on a rampage with the orange cat!

Chapter 155 Chen Jun's Suspicion

Faced with this sudden scene, Wu Yutong was first startled and was about to lash out, but then realized that the person who splashed the water was Ma Jianqiang's mother.

Despite her annoyance, she forced a smile and nodded to Ma Jianqiang's mother and Aunt Li, saying, "Aunt Ma, Aunt Li, Happy New Year!"

However, the atmosphere had become extremely tense and awkward.

Aunt Li said with a big smile, "Oh my, Xiaoyu, you look so beautiful today! Even more beautiful than a bride! Where have you been these past few days? You didn't even come home for such an important time as the New Year? I see this handsome young man next to you, he must be your boyfriend, right?"

Just as Wu Yutong was about to answer, her mother hurriedly came out of the house.

She greeted him warmly, saying first, "Oh my, this is Xiao Chen, the blind date my relative introduced us to! It's not even official yet, he's just dropping by. Come, come, Xiao Chen, come in and sit down, it's so cold outside!"

As she spoke, Wu Ma pulled Wu Yutong and Chen Jun into the house.

Wu Yutong felt a little embarrassed, but she still quickly followed her mother into the house.

Although Chen Jun felt a little unhappy, he remembered that he had promised Wu Yutong to keep their relationship a secret until after graduation, so he remained silent.

At this moment, Aunt Ma, who was standing to the side, rolled her eyes and let out a disdainful "humph." Then she turned around, went inside, and slammed the door shut with a loud "bang."

Aunt Li watched Aunt Ma's departing figure, shook her head, and muttered as she walked back to her house, "So mysterious... Anyone who didn't know better would think they were already married!"

As soon as Aunt Wu and the others entered the house, they lowered their voices and said, "You haven't been here for the past few days, so you don't know a lot of things! That Ma Jianqiang and several other people kidnapped a little girl, and now he's wanted by the police! Aunt Ma is probably upset about this too, and she's not happy with anyone. We should avoid provoking her, lest we make a fool of ourselves!"

The younger siblings also happily ran up to greet Wu Yutong.

When Mr. Wu saw his new son-in-law arrive with so many gifts, his face immediately lit up with a joyful smile. He warmly greeted Chen Jun, saying, "Come in, come in and sit down. The food will be ready soon!"

However, Wu Yutong, who was standing to the side, was startled when she heard her mother's words and lost her interest in playing with her younger siblings.

At this moment, she was completely unaware that Ma Jianqiang had committed a terrible crime, so she hurriedly followed her mother into the kitchen, wanting to confirm the news she had just heard.

"Mom, what did you just say? A wanted notice..." Wu Yutong stared wide-eyed at her mother, who was busy preparing dishes.

Without looking up, Wu Ma continued chopping vegetables, while telling her daughter everything she knew.

She added, "Yes, it's absolutely true! I heard the police are searching for him everywhere. Who would have thought that Ma Jianqiang would give up a peaceful life and actually have the audacity to kidnap someone? It's simply a sin!"

I don't know where he's hiding now; it's really worrying. You need to be careful too. The police have contacted you several times to ask about the situation, but they stopped because you weren't home.

Wu Yutong felt as if her head had suddenly exploded, buzzing loudly. Everything in front of her seemed to become blurry, and her body swayed involuntarily a few times.

It took her a lot of effort to calm herself down. She thought to herself: If Ma Jianqiang can be caught by the police, that would be fine. But if he is still at large, he is like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

Moreover, given his domineering and unreasonable nature, he might even come knocking on our door to cause trouble.

Thinking about this, Wu Yutong couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.

She lowered her voice and whispered in Wu Ma's ear, "Mom, please don't tell anyone about my marriage to Chen Jun."

After I left home, you told others that I had gone to work as an intern at a company in the county town.

Let's keep this a secret for now and make plans after the storm has passed and the situation has stabilized.

Wu's mother stopped what she was doing, turned to look at her daughter, nodded and replied, "Okay, daughter, Mom knows, don't worry."

As Wu Yutong was lost in thought, her mother asked, "How are things going with Chen Jun? Are your in-laws treating you well?"

"It's alright, don't worry about it." Wu Yutong blushed and walked out of the kitchen.

After a while, Wu Yuwei and her husband Dong Xingmiao also came to offer their New Year's greetings, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Chen Jun was in the honeymoon period with Wu Yutong, so he forgave Wu Yuwei's decision to annul the engagement. It was good that everyone got what they wanted, since they wouldn't be living together in the future and would only see each other occasionally during holidays. Thinking about this, he felt relieved.

When Mr. Wu saw that his son-in-law, Dong Xingmiao, was stingy and only bought some pastries and two bottles of liquor, he was a little unhappy. However, he didn't want to appear too materialistic. He knew that his eldest son-in-law was arrogant and that if things ended badly, his eldest daughter would also be in a difficult position. So, everyone had a peaceful meal together.

After lunch, Dong Xingmiao gestured for Wu Yuwei to go back, and Wu Yuwei reluctantly went back with him.

Wu Yutong was in a bad mood. While packing her things in the room, she urged Chen Jun to leave first, saying that she wanted to stay at her parents' house and that Chen Jun staying here would cause gossip.

"Aren't you coming back with me?" Chen Jun asked reluctantly.

"I told you I'd visit you occasionally, but things haven't been peaceful here lately, and my younger siblings are still small. I also want to spend time with my parents," Wu Yutong said, sounding a little impatient.

Chen Jun comforted him, "Don't be afraid. I have comrades in the Public Security Bureau who will help you inquire about your neighbor."

This startled Wu Yutong, who quickly said, "No need, no need, don't get involved in this. My family and his family don't have a good relationship to begin with, and his family doesn't have a good reputation in this area. Don't go looking for trouble."

Chen Jun looked at her inquisitively and said, "I thought you were very worried."

"What am I worried about? What does this have to do with me? Go back and tidy up your house in the city. I'll come to your workplace apartment tomorrow," Wu Yutong said, a little annoyed.

“Then I’ll come pick you up at the intersection tomorrow,” Chen Jun had no choice but to say.

“No need to come, I can go by myself. We should try to avoid being seen and gossiped about. As I said, I shouldn’t be seen with you in public until we get our graduation certificates. People will think we have some issues with our conduct, which will also be bad for your reputation at work. I’m only thinking of you.” Wu Yutong straightened his clothes and said.

"Are you really not planning to stay at my place?" Chen Jun asked with a reluctant expression, his gaze fixed on Wu Yutong as if she would disappear at any moment.

"We're a legally married couple, we've already got our marriage certificate, what's there to be afraid of?"

Hearing this, Wu Yutong gently shook her head and explained softly, "It's not a question of whether I'm afraid or not, but rather that there's no need to cause trouble for myself."

Why have you suddenly become so disobedient? We have a long, long time ahead of us, why are you in such a rush?

As she spoke, Wu Yutong raised her head, a mischievous glint in her eyes, raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled charmingly.

Immediately afterwards, she tiptoed and quickly pecked Chen Jun's lips, then retreated swiftly like a light butterfly, saying coquettishly, "Is that alright now?"

Chen Jun was clearly taken aback by Wu Yutong's initiative. He was stunned for a moment, then a happy smile immediately appeared on his face.

He instinctively wanted to respond to the sweet kiss, but just as his lips were about to touch Wu Yutong, she gently pushed him away.

Wu Yutong blushed and said in a low voice, "Let's go back quickly. It wouldn't be good if our family saw us like this."

Although somewhat reluctant, Chen Jun nodded obediently and replied, "Okay, I'll be going now. But remember, you must come to see me tomorrow. I'll take you shopping in the provincial capital and buy you pretty new clothes and nice leather shoes."

After saying that, Chen Jun gave Wu Yutong a sly smile, seemingly quite pleased with his idea.

As expected, Wu Yutong was clearly tempted after hearing these words. Her eyes lit up instantly, and she cheerfully pushed Chen Jun towards the door, reminding him, "Okay, okay, I know, but you can't lie to me!"

Chen Jun left his father-in-law's house with a heavy heart, but he remained somewhat uneasy.

After much deliberation, he changed his original itinerary, bought two bottles of wine and pastries at a store, and then went to the Ministry of Public Security to find his old comrade-in-arms, Qian Dayong, hoping to get some latest information about the matter from him.

Qian Dayong is now the deputy director of a branch of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. He was also Chen Jun's leader and comrade-in-arms in the past. Chen Jun once saved his life on the battlefield.

Upon seeing him, Qian Dayong excitedly grasped his hand and said, "Oh, Chen Jun, I heard you're getting married. You must invite me for a drink then. Come on, have your sister-in-law cook some dishes, and let's have a drink together."

Chen Jun eagerly inquired about the progress of the case: "No need to trouble yourself, I've already eaten. I came today to wish you a Happy New Year and also to ask you about something, namely the Lianhuatang kidnapping case..."

Qian Dayong, intrigued, recounted the events in detail...

In the Lianhuatang air-raid shelter kidnapping case, Ma Jianqiang's initial plan was to use Lin Shaoyi as bait to kidnap Shi Huai'an.

But to the thugs' utter surprise, Shi Huai'an was actually a martial arts master!

She had a really exciting fight with the thug! And her classmate was quick-witted, immediately reporting the incident to the police.

The police officers were even more impressive, acting with lightning speed and decisive action. They successfully rescued the two girls, ensuring their safe escape, and even apprehended one of the perpetrators!

Next, Qian Dayong mentioned the information obtained by the police through in-depth interviews and investigations.

It is understood that Ma Jianqiang himself does not seem to have any direct grudges or disputes with Shi Huai'an.

So what exactly prompted Ma Jianqiang to take such a crazy action?

After some analysis and reasoning, everyone believed that there was very likely a mastermind behind it all.

This person is very likely Ma Jianqiang's neighbor and girlfriend, Wu Yutong.

The arrested suspects confessed that Ma Jianqiang's girlfriend harbored resentment towards Shi Huai'an and sought revenge.

However, these are currently just speculations based on various clues, and no conclusive evidence has been obtained.

Upon hearing these words, Chen Jun felt as if he had been struck by five thunderbolts at the same time, and he stood there frozen in shock. He never expected that this case was related to his wife, Wu Yutong.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you asking about this? Do you know something?" Qian Dayong, observing his serious expression, immediately pressed him for answers.

Chen Jun's expression changed rapidly. He forced a smile and said, "It's nothing. I have relatives living nearby who heard about this, so I was just asking..."

"Oh? You seem to have something on your mind. How have you been lately? It's been a long time since we last saw each other. How about we open a bottle of wine and chat?" Qian Dayong said warmly, seemingly unconcerned.

Qian Dayong's wife also came out of the kitchen carrying dishes and said with a smile, "Xiao Chen, where does your fiancée work? I heard she's very beautiful."

"Sister-in-law, I'll bring her to see you in a while. I've already eaten, and I have other things to do, so I'll have to go now. I'll come again when I have time." Chen Jun quickly got up, said goodbye, and left.

He felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, almost bursting under the immense pressure.

But he still tried his best to control the surging emotions in his heart, forcibly pretending to be calm and composed, and said goodbye to the home of his old comrade-in-arms who was trying his best to keep him.

Qian Dayong and his wife found it strange that he seemed so absent-minded, but they didn't want to force him to stay.

Although it was already dark, Chen Jun hurried toward his father-in-law's residence.

At this moment, only one thought kept swirling in Chen Jun's mind—he had to thoroughly investigate the intricate relationship between Wu Yutong and Ma Jianqiang!

He couldn't help but secretly complain that his own mother had really found him a good marriage, but after all the twists and turns, he still ended up marrying into the Wu family.

He had been getting along well with Wu Yutong for a while, and he was even relieved that he had broken off his engagement with her sister and met someone gentler and more lovable.

But I never expected Wu Yutong to pull this stunt on me. These two sisters are no pushovers.

I'm a Party member, but I never expected to suffer such a big setback in my marriage.

I blame myself for being too soft-hearted. I was pressured by my mother and misled by her beauty. I didn't bother to understand her character and past relationships. I subjectively thought she was a naive young girl.

Now that the two are married and have entered the bridal chamber, the deed is done, and it's too late to regret it. But I can't just let things remain as they are; I need to find out what really happened first.

He made up his mind and strode towards his father-in-law's house.
