Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ever since Fang Ya and He Feng got married, the two of them had been busy and did not seem to have much time to spend together.

Fang Ya only knew that He Feng had recently taken over the work of the Crime Investigation Department and was currently cooperating with the investigation of a transnational case.

He Feng’s already limited time was slashed even further and the two of them had not seen each other for a few days.

Since the last time Lu Ping came to cause a ruckus, the neighbors had gradually learned from the large woman that Fang Ya and He Feng were married.

Although the two did not care about the eyes of the people around them, they still had to think about the children.

Since Lu Ping came, He Peng had been unhappy for many days.

Fang Ya wanted to talk to him, but he always avoided her and stayed in his room every day.

Because He Feng was busy with work, he did not have time to have a good chat with He Peng.

Fang Ya was very worried about He Peng’s condition, but there was nothing she could do at the moment.

Wang Xu occasionally came to Fang Ya’s house to chat with her.

When Li Tong ran errands for He Feng and she happened to be there, the two of them would always butt heads.

One day, Wang Xu was helping Fang Ya wash the newly bought fruits, and they chatted non-stop. “Sister Ya, have you heard about the second son of the Chu Family?”

Fang Ya was holding a kitchen knife in her hand, and she was hacking at a big bone with all her might.

“Ah! You mean the second son of the Chu family who just returned to China?” Fang Ya thought for a while and seemed to have recalled something.

The Chu family could be considered one of the richest families in this area.

The two elders of the Chu family were simple merchants to attempted what-was-then modern business ventures.

In an era when the economy was not considered developed, the two of them quickly made a fortune and became the first group of Ten Thousand Yuan households.

The two sons of the family were said to be top-notch successors.

The eldest son of the Chu family went from primary school to university, but he was the only university student in his area.

After graduating from university, the eldest son of the Chu family smoothly entered the hospital for an internship. After his internship ended, he became a doctor in the city hospital.

The second son of the Chu family was also a top student who went abroad to study on a scholarship. It was said that he had received a full scholarship for several years abroad.

It was said that the second son of the Chu family had brought his fiancée back to the country not long ago. Fang Ya did not know why Wang Xu would mention this person at this time.

Wang Xu saw that Fang Ya seemed to know nothing about the rumor, so she leaned forward mysteriously.

“I heard that the second son of the Chu family was arrested yesterday!” Wang Xu said in a low voice.

Fang Ya looked at Wang Xu in puzzlement. “Why?”

Wang Xu put the washed fruit into a plate and said, “He said something about assisting in some investigation. It seems to be related to a murder case.

“At that time, many of the neighbors saw it. Only Sister Ya, who doesn’t care about the affairs of the world, would not know!” Wang Xu looked at Fang Ya’s indifferent look and could not help but shake her head.

Fang Ya smiled helplessly.

It was not that she did not care about the things around her. It was just that after a miserable life, she seemed to be able to see through many things.

Especially in that era where information spread extremely fast, many things that were rumors simply had no basis in fact.

Although Fang Ya was not curious, it did not affect Wang Xu’s momentum.

She picked up a pear that had just been washed and took a bite.

The pear had a crispy texture and a sweet juice flowed out of it. Wang Xu chewed happily. “I heard that the second son of the Chu family was involved in some major national case.

“The fiancée that he brought back seems to have been caught too,” Wang Xu said and took another bite of the pear.

The scene of He Feng working on the case instantly appeared in Fang Ya’s mind.

“It’s said that this case has been put under the name of brother-in-law again!” Wang Xu called him “Brother-in-law” as if it was a matter of course.

Fang Ya was not used to it for a moment, but then she smiled in relief.

“It’s just his job.” Fang Ya said and put the cut ribs on the plate.

“I say, brother-in-law’s efficiency in handling cases is really amazing! I heard from Li Tong the other day that he solved more than half of the cases that haven’t been solved in the past three years!” Wang Xu could not help but exclaim.

“Li Tong even told you this?” Fang Ya seemed to have grasped where she was getting at.

When Wang Xu heard this, her face turned red. “Aiya, he was the one who insisted on telling me!”

The corners of Fang Ya’s mouth curled into a smile. “That’s right! He doesn’t have to hide anything!”

Wang Xu mumbled a few sentences incoherently. She carried the fruit plate and walked out. “I’ll go deliver the fruits to Tang Tang and the others!”

Fang Ya watched Wang Xu’s back as she left, and the expression on her face gradually darkened.

The second son of the Chu family — Chu Yi, one of the main culprits in the transnational financial fraud case.

Fang Ya had forgotten about him. If Wang Xu had not mentioned him, she would not have thought that this person actually lived nearby!

When she first heard about the Chu family’s family background and the eldest son of the Chu family, Fang Ya had found it a little familiar, but she had not paid much attention to it.

Now that she thought about it, this was a small world!
