The Chief Minister's Ferocious Wife

60 Perhaps There Is Still Time

Zhao Xing was horrified when he heard what Xie Heng said.

How could he know?

Zhao Chuchu was also surprised. Zhao Xing came directly to the kitchen and did not take anything from the kitchen.

“What nonsense are you talking about? I didn’t take anything from you.”

“Whether or not you did, a search will reveal the truth.”

“Xie Heng, you are too much!”

“Oh, not when it’s compared to what you did.”

Zhao Xing did not dare to be searched, after all. In the end, he could only grit his teeth, take out the purse on him, and throw it to Xie Heng.

“There you go!”

“Chuchu, see if anything is missing from it.”

Zhao Chuchu took the purse and suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, with a faint smell of blood mixed with it.

This was…

Zhao Chuchu suddenly felt that something was not right.

She glanced at Xie Heng without being obvious, but Xie Heng appeared calm, and nothing could be fathomed by just looking at his face.

Zhao Chuchu looked at the purse casually and said, “Something is missing.”

Zhao Xing was infuriated right away. “Don’t you push me!”

Xie Heng said, “Then we’ll go to the police.”

Zhao Xing had to suppress his fury. He took out a jade hairpin from his sleeves. “Everything is here!”

Zhao Chuchu snorted coldly. “Now get the hell out of here, and don’t come to my house again.”

Niu Tongsheng was astounded.

Others stared like idiots at the purse and the jade hairpin without blinking even once.

Seeing this, Zhao Chuchu quickly put away the purse and the jade hairpin.

Niu Tongsheng turned around and began shooing everyone away. “Enough, enough! Everyone go back to your house and go to sleep. No day goes by when there isn’t some nonsense to worry me.”

Someone pointed to the sesame balls on the counter and said, “Xie Heng, you guys are living pretty well now, and you can afford to make such exotic food. I haven’t eaten sesame balls in a long time, either. Can you give me one so I can taste it too?”

Zhao Chuchu picked up the hatchet off the stove. “Would you like to eat some barbecue? Shall I chop your legs off and roast them for you?”

As soon as she said that, the onlookers immediately ran away, fearing that Zhao Chuchu would really chop their legs off.

Soon, the Xie household quieted down again.

Niu Tongsheng looked at the two of them and felt that it would be best to speed up and finish the fence as soon as possible.

Otherwise, there would always be those who would barge into their house from time to time and cause trouble. As the village chief, he couldn’t deny that this kind of occurrence was highly annoying.

“You guys be careful at night. If possible, you should keep a dog in the yard in the future,” Niu Tongsheng suggested.

“Mmm, we’ll look for one later.” Zhao Chuchu nodded, then handed the plate of sesame balls on the counter to Niu Tongsheng. “Take these home with you.”

“No, it’s not easy for you guys either. Keep them for yourselves.”

“You take it. We made more.”

“Well, you need money for everything; it’s more prudent to save when you can.”

“I know.”

Niu Tongsheng didn’t continue with his refusal and left with the plate of sesame balls.

Xie Jun stood in the doorway rubbing his eyes, saying, “What are you guys doing in the middle of the night?”

“Come over here. There are sugar dangos, sesame balls, and soup dumplings. Do you want to eat them?” Zhao Chuchu beckoned.

Xie Jun looked at Xie Heng. “Can I really eat them?”

“Hmm.” he nodded.

Xie Jun was instantly overjoyed.

After eating and drinking, Xie Jun went back to sleep.

Zhao Chuchu moved everything back to the main room and locked the door before she turned to face Xie Heng. She took out the purse and asked him, “How do you know that Zhao Xing had these on him?”

“When Zhao Xing entered the house, I smelled blood.” Xie Heng took the purse and sniffed it with his nose. “This is a girl’s purse, and Zhao Xing smelled of alcohol. There were also fresh scratches on his neck, and his shoes were stained with red clay… Chuchu, do you want to go and have a look? Maybe there is still time to save the girl.”
