Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 413

Chapter 413: Chapter 413: The Task Is Not Easy

A dinner party which delighted both guests and host, Cheng Su and Luh Kai agreed to take another look at the shop and its layout, and if it really was suitable, they would buy it. Of course, if the price could be a little lower, that would be even better.

That evening, Cheng Su simply decided to accompany Qiulan back home. After parting at different floors, they each entered their own apartments.

"You’re back!" Hualing had a mouth rinse cup in hand and an imprinted towel draped over the other arm as she just came out of her room. Seeing Cheng Su, she asked.

Cheng Su hummed a response and was about to walk past her.

"That is, do you think Commander Qi and his team have reached their destination?" Hualing asked another question.

"Haven’t received a call, but it’s been two days. They should be there by now," Cheng Su replied indifferently.

Hualing had nothing much to say to her, especially knowing that Chen Shouwang had once borrowed money from them. She always felt somewhat inferior. Seeing Cheng Su so cold, she pursed her lips and said stiffly, "Goodnight then!"

Cheng Su nodded, opened her door, and went inside.

Hualing stared at Cheng Su’s door, furrowing her brows, "Hey, why is she putting on airs like that!"

Once Cheng Su shut the door, she looked around the cold emptiness of the room and couldn’t help but wrap her arms around herself, heaving a long sigh, "Being a military spouse is always a lonely affair."

As she sighed in solitude, far away in E County, Qi Taiguo was also staring into the pitch-black night, smoking a sullen cigarette.

Upon their arrival in E County, they first contacted local public security to gather intelligence and analyze various cases.

But the more they delved into the analysis, the more Qi Taiguo realized that their mission would not be an easy one.

His thoughts were interrupted by memories of his arrival at the E County Public Security Bureau where, by chance, he witnessed grieving family members identifying a victim’s body, crying hopelessly and angrily, eliciting deep emotion and anger from everyone present.

He thought of the young woman, so young, with such small children by her side, kneeling before him, begging him to bring the culprits to justice and restore peace to society. She was as young as Susu but had already lost her means of survival.

A happy family, enjoying the bliss of family life just one night before, the wife virtuous, the child filial—overnight, forever torn apart. What kind of pain was that?

Qi Taiguo threw the burned-out cigarette butt onto the ground and ground it under his foot, as if by doing so he could crush the smoldering anger and frustration in his heart.

As he turned around, he saw Chiang Qing standing behind him, his brow furrowing.

She glanced at the cigarette butt under his foot and gave a slight smile, walking up gracefully and asked, "Is Commander Qi smoking a sulky cigarette here because he’s missing his wife?"
