The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chapter 175 Strange Disappearance

Mrs. Jia Zhang had almost vented her anger. Qin Huairu, like before, just squatted on the ground, covering her face and crying silently. Jia Dongxu did not bring up the previous topic again.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ping said a few polite words, hurriedly adjourned the meeting, and took his family home.

He Yushui lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and asked in confusion:

"Sister, before the meeting, you looked so confident, so you must have something to arrange. Why didn't you do anything?"

Chen Ping replied calmly:

"Didn't you see? That means my arrangement is pretty good. Let me tell you..."

Ever since she was framed by Qin Huairu a few years ago, Chen Ping has asked Wu Guihua and Xiaohua to keep an eye on her every move.

When they told Chen Ping that Qin Huairu had gone to find a matchmaker, Chen Ping went to find out about the situation and knew that Qin Huairu wanted to set a trap for Jia Zhang, so she took advantage of the situation and made it happen.

In fact, Qin Huairu had already arranged for Jia Zhang's remarriage candidate, but she did not expect that the matchmaker would come to her house today and make the conditions for Jia Zhang's remarriage public, and she did not expect that Jia Zhang's requirements were so high.

Of course, the matchmaker’s appearance today was not to inform Jia Zhang of the news, but was a special arrangement by Chen Ping.

It could not only destroy Qin Huairu's plan, but also arouse the Jia family's hostility towards her. She had always kept the hatred of being framed in her heart and was just waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.

Revenge on Qin Huairu is only part of Chen Ping's plan. Only when Jia Zhang expresses her resentment can the next step of the plan be implemented smoothly.

When Jia Zhang wanted to settle the matter peacefully and compromise with Jia Dongxu, Chen Ping deliberately brought up the starting point of the last three or five conflicts, just to remind Jia Zhang that several conflicts in her family were caused by Qin Huairu, and this time was no exception.

Although Jia Zhang did not like Chen Ping's instigation, she could not accept Qin Huairu's calculations even more. She would definitely vent all her dissatisfaction with Chen Ping and her resentment towards Qin Huairu on Qin Huairu.

Everything seemed like a coincidence, but in fact it was carefully calculated step by step. As expected, Chen Ping's second plan also went smoothly.

Jia Zhang's remarks did not cause much waves in the Siheyuan, but they left a deep impression on Aunt Zhou's heart.

The next morning, as soon as Chen Ping opened the door, she was greeted with a surprise from Aunt Zhou.

"Chen Ping, I understand why you want me to take care of your father. I've been thinking about it all night. What Jia Zhang said is right. Nothing is more important than living a good life. As long as you don't object, I agree to live with him."

After Aunt Zhou finished speaking, although her face turned slightly red, her firm eyes proved her determination.

Chen Ping did not delay any longer and immediately rushed to his father Chen Chunsheng's residence, and asked Lu Zixuan to quickly notify He Yuzhu's family.

That afternoon, Chen Ping took the two of them to get a marriage certificate. Since both of them were getting married for the second time, and they were both in their fifties, they did not hold a ceremony. In the evening, the whole family sat together for a reunion dinner, and that was considered the completion of the ceremony.

After Aunt Zhou left the courtyard, the canteen was left without a cook, so Chen Ping could only arrange for Wu Guihua and Xiaohua to take over temporarily.

Just when Chen Ping got off work the next day and was secretly proud of her success, He Yuzhu pushed the door open and said something like a bolt from the blue, which almost made her lose her mind.

"Sister, Liu Lan and Zhu Feng have been looking for Xuanxuan for a whole day and haven't seen him. Do you know where he went?"

Chen Ping mechanically shook her head and said she didn't know. After that, she immediately became flustered and searched for the travel record book left by Lu Zixuan at home.

Seeing the recent itinerary written in the notebook, which was a visit to Mrs. Li with Zhu Feng today, Chen Ping's face suddenly changed. She pulled He Yuzhu and went out to find Zhu Feng.

When Zhu Feng saw Chen Ping and He Yuzhu entering his yard with anxious faces, he knew that Lu Zixuan was really missing, and hurried forward to comfort them:

"Sister, please don't be anxious. Calm down. The more critical the moment, the calmer you need to be. Let's sort out the person and time for the final meeting with Xuanxuan."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping's legs instantly bent, and she sat down on the ground, crying and complaining:

"You stupid kid, I've told you so many times that reselling grain will offend people, and you sell it so cheaply, how can they let you go?

You are the only one who is calculating, you are the only one who is capable, you are the only one who worries about other people's life and death. There are so many things that adults can't take care of, what can you, a little kid, do?

If anything happens to you, will you let your mother live..."

As Chen Ping spoke, she hugged her curled legs tightly with her arms and sobbed, looking so helpless and sad, recalling every moment she spent with her son...

After an unknown amount of time, when He Yuzhu and Zhu Feng were discussing how to forcibly take Chen Ping home, she suddenly stopped crying, wiped her tears, stood up and said:

"Zhu Zi, take me home immediately. Xuan Xuan once said that he prepared a lot of magic bags for me, which are placed at the bedside, and can only be opened in times of crisis."

He Yuzhu did not dare to delay, and immediately rode the bicycle that Lu Zixuan prepared for Zhu Feng, and took Chen Ping home.

Chen Ping hurriedly opened the secret compartment at the head of the bed and took out more than a dozen purses, some with labels indicating work, important events, future direction, and death. She found the purse marked missing and immediately opened the letter inside.

Mom, when you see this note, it means I am missing. Don't be nervous. You need to be calm at this time and analyze carefully who we have offended recently.

If it has anything to do with the people in Siheyuan, go find Director Zhou and ask him to find a solution;

If he has any connection with the business community, let Zhu Feng go to Boss Lou and tell him that he should repay the favor he owes.

If you have any connection with the political world, let Zhu Feng take you to Lao Xiao, he will make his own conclusion;

If you have any connection with the military, go to the Sijiucheng Military District and find Director Ma of the Quartermaster Department;

When you are undecided, you can go to Lao Chen for advice.

Chen Ping and He Yuzhu thought of Xu Fugui at the same time, but both shook their heads to deny it. Xu Fugui was not that bold, and Xu Damao was getting married soon, so he should not dare to cause trouble.

The two thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer, so they didn't hesitate and rushed to Lao Chen's house immediately.

Chen Ping explained her purpose to Lao Chen. Lao Chen knew that Lu Zixuan had the habit of taking notes, so he asked Chen Ping to take out his recent itinerary book, but found nothing.

Old Chen thought for a while before speaking.

"Xuanxuan has been smarter than ordinary people since he was young and knows a lot, so we can rule out the possibility that he was abducted.

If he has something urgent to do and needs to leave, he will definitely find a way to notify his family first. This is his habit, and this option can also be ruled out. Accidents such as illness or getting lost can also be basically ruled out.

The only possibility left is what you said, that she was forcibly abducted.

As for what you said about the competition in food supply and demand, that is impossible. He never participates in it himself and only lets other people do it. No one knows him except a few of us.

You should recall his actions and words from today forward, and don’t miss any details.”

Chen Ping sorted out her words and said:

"Today was the same as usual. When he left home in the morning, he told me that he was going to visit a friend with Zhu Feng. He then left with a camera and..."

Upon hearing this, Old Chen interrupted hurriedly.

"Wait, what camera? Where did the camera come from?"

Chen Ping told Lao Chen about Xu Fugui's compensation for the camera, and then explained the reasons why she denied that he had done it.

Old Chen did not let Chen Ping continue, saying "confused", and immediately told Chen Bangguo to prepare a bicycle, and he wanted to go to Lou's house in person...
