Time Travel Article: My parents divorced at the beginning

Chapter 181 Assassination 1 (Updated)

While the Red Star Food Factory was busy taking inventory, Yuan Houzi and his senior brother Yuan Shan disguised themselves as a father and son looking for relatives and asking for directions, and came to the Red Star Family Compound again.

However, as soon as the two entered the family compound, they were caught by security personnel who were patrolling nearby.

"Hey, hey, hey! Stop, whoever's in front! What are you doing? Why are you here in the Red Star Food Factory's staff quarters?"

"We don't let outsiders in here, get out quickly!"

The patrolman's shouts attracted all the aunties who were chatting around.

"Xiao Wang, what's going on?" an old lady asked curiously.

"Two strangers came and I was asking them to leave quickly!" Xiao Wang explained to the aunts who gathered around.

Before, when Yuan Houzi was scouting the area disguised as a beggar, he found out everything about the Red Star Food Factory's staff quarters.

He and his senior brother had anticipated the current situation and had conducted response drills, so they were not panicked even when they encountered it.

"No, we are here to look for someone!" Yuan Houzi pretended to be frightened and said in a timid voice.

"Looking for someone? Looking for whom?" The aunt who was watching heard Yuan Houzi say this and asked curiously.

"I, I'm here to find Chen Shuanzi!" Yuan Houzi said stutteringly.

The aunts frowned when they heard this, and for a moment they couldn't remember who this Chen Shuanzi was.

"Young man, there's no one named Chen Shuanzi here. I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place."

When Yuan Houzi heard that there was no such person as Chen Shuanzi, he immediately became anxious, "How could that be?"

My grandpa said that my great uncle worked at the Red Star Food Factory. And, this is where I came with my grandpa when I was a kid!

Everyone looked at Yuan Houzi's anxious look and it didn't seem like he was lying, but there was indeed no one named Chen Shuanzi in their family compound.

Since there was no Chen Shuanzi in the family compound, Xiao Wang planned to drive Yuan Houzi and the other man out.

"We don't allow outsiders to stay here, you'd better leave first!" Xiao Wang said as he prepared to go forward and chase them away.

Faced with Xiao Wang's expulsion, Yuan Houzi shrank his neck, pretending not to dare to resist, and walked reluctantly towards the gate of the family compound.

He just kept mumbling, "I'm not mistaken, this is the place, I've been here before!"

This look was as pitiful as it could be. The aunties watching couldn't bear it, but they didn't say anything to stop him. After all, there had been a suspected theft in the family compound before.

"Hey, wait! I remember!" Suddenly, an old lady slapped her thigh and shouted to Yuan Houzi who was about to leave.

"Yes, there is a person like Chen Shuanzizi!"

"Sister Wang, is there really such a person as Chen Shuanzi? Who is he? How come I don't know him?" someone asked curiously.

Sister Wang did not answer other people's questions, but instead asked Yuan Houzi.

"Young man, come here! What's your name and where are you from?"

"My name is Chen Gou Wa, and this is my son, Chen Er Wa. We came from Chenjia Village in the neighboring Sanhe County!"

"That's right! He is indeed a relative of Old Chen's family!" Upon hearing this, Sister Wang nodded affirmatively and explained to everyone.

"Who is this Chen Shuanzi? Why don't I have any impression of him?" Someone asked in confusion when they saw Sister Wang was so sure.

"Chen Shuanzi is Old Chen—Chen Jiefang!"

"Chen Jiefang is Chen Shuanzi?"

"Yes, my old man mentioned this when he was chatting with Old Chen before, otherwise I wouldn't have remembered it today." Aunt Wang explained to everyone.

"Aunt Wang, these two people are really relatives of Old Man Chen?" Inspector Xiao Wang asked in surprise when he heard this.

"It should be about the same. Old Chen is from Chenjia Village in Sanhe County."

"But Old Chen had a stroke a while ago and is now hospitalized in the city hospital. What should we do with these two people now?"

"I heard that the person has recovered a lot because he was sent to the hospital in time. Why don't we call and ask?" someone suggested.

Yuan Houzi, who had been standing aside and remained silent, spoke up at this moment, "My grandfather heard that my uncle was ill, so he asked us to come and see what was going on."

Yuan Houzi was not afraid of being exposed at all. He had heard a few old men talking about Old Chen's situation while they were playing chess and chatting in the staff quarters.

For this matter, Yuan Houzi specially asked someone to go to Chenjia Village to inquire about it, and found out that Old Man Chen did have such a nephew.

We haven't seen each other for so many years. Even if we met face to face, I might not recognize Old Chen, let alone over the phone!

Another important reason that prompted Yuan Houzi and the other two to pretend to be Old Chen's nephews was that Old Chen's house was in such a good location.

As an old employee of the Red Star Food Factory, Old Chen was assigned a one-bedroom apartment of about 30 square meters, which was located on the third floor of the last row of tube buildings.

The front window of the house in this location can just see Accountant Wu's house, and the back window faces Gu Qingyu's yard, which is an excellent observation point.

So, a group of people took Yuan Houzi and the other two and called Old Chen who was in the hospital.

Old Chen has not been married for many years. Now that he is old and suddenly falls ill, he is very sad.

At this time, he received a call. When he heard that it was his nephew from his hometown who heard that he was sick and came to see him, he was naturally excited and relieved.

"Gou Wa? Is it really you?" Old Chen's hand holding the phone began to tremble with excitement.

Yuan Houzi on the other end of the phone said to Old Chen in a choked voice, "Uncle, how are you?"

"Grandpa heard you were sick, so he sent us rushing over here. Which hospital are you in? We'll go see you right away."

"Oh, no need to come over. The doctor said I'm recovering well. I'll be discharged tomorrow morning after the last bottle of water is finished!"

When Yuan Houzi heard this, his heart tightened. He didn't expect that the old guy would be discharged from the hospital so soon. It seemed that they had to take action tonight.

"Then I'll come and pick you up from the hospital tomorrow morning?" Yuan Zi asked Old Chen on the other end of the phone.

"Okay! The old man will wait for you to come over tomorrow! The key is at Old Qian's house next door. Ask Sister Wang to answer the phone and I'll tell him you can stay at my house tonight!"

"Hey, I'll follow your arrangements!" Yuan Houzi said obediently to Old Chen on the other end of the phone.

After saying that, he handed the microphone to Sister Wang who was standing next to him, and then stood aside obediently, waiting for others to arrange for them to check in.

Yuan Houzi and his companions moved into Old Chen's house smoothly, while at the Red Star Food Factory, Accountant Wu was talking to Gu Qingyu, but the atmosphere of their conversation was not very good!

Looking at Accountant Wu, who had followed him back to the office from the grain depot but hadn't spoken a word, Gu Qingyu was the first to break the silence and asked, "Accountant Wu, do you have anything to tell me?"

In order to monitor Yang Liu, Accountant Wu was exiled to Xinhu City by the Wu family for more than 20 years. After so many years away from home, Accountant Wu was really fed up!

As long as Yang Liu is sent to prison, according to current laws and regulations, she will definitely not survive, and he can also end the surveillance mission of so many years.

Therefore, Accountant Wu took the initiative to expose the account book to Gu Qingyu, and actively cooperated with Gu Qingyu to attack Zhang Huaimin and others at the meeting.

Who would have known that a few days ago, news suddenly came from the Wu family in Jing City that the old lady was seriously ill and wanted to see her granddaughter, so he had to bring Yang Liu back to Jing City?

This news caught Accountant Wu off guard. What she didn't expect was that Gu Qingyu would be so decisive and conduct an inventory in such a high-profile manner right in front of the workers of the Red Star Food Factory.

Now that the theft in the grain warehouse has been confirmed, the workers are very excited. At this point, the situation can no longer be influenced by one or two people.

Accountant Wu was feeling uneasy, always feeling that things would develop in a bad direction, so he followed behind Gu Qingyu, hesitant to speak.

"Director Gu, how far do you plan to investigate this matter?"

"Hmm? Didn't I already hand it over to the public security comrades?"

"It depends on the police to find out where they are. How would I know?"

Accountant Wu didn't expect Gu Qingyu to say that, and he just stood there in a daze.

"Then you will not be responsible for what happens next?" Accountant Wu asked unwillingly.

"Never mind! Let's just find out whatever we can find out!" Gu Qingyu said indifferently.

A big part of the reason why Gu Qingyu did this was because of Accountant Wu!

You know, from the moment she found the account book when she entered the Red Star Food Factory, Gu Qingyu had vaguely sensed something was wrong. The account book was such a confidential thing, how could she have found it so easily?

Moreover, Accountant Wu's ambiguous words later on were all guiding Gu Qingyu to investigate further.

Accountant Wu's purpose was unclear, so Gu Qingyu thought that she might as well make a big deal out of it, then hand over the evidence and let others investigate!

Sure enough, after she handed over the matter, Accountant Wu couldn't sit still anymore. He came over and wanted to inquire about the situation!

Accountant Wu was cursing himself in his heart at this moment. He had persisted for more than 20 years, and it was just one month left. Why couldn't he hold on?

Accountant Wu trembled with fear at the thought that he had messed up and the Wu family would not know how to punish him.

No, he has to send Yang Liu away immediately!

If anything happened to Yang Liu because of him, his two children who stayed in Beijing might not survive!

Thinking of this, Accountant Wu no longer had the mood to continue chatting with Gu Qingyu, and walked out in a hurry.

Gu Qingyu looked at Accountant Wu, who was now completely confused, and rubbed her eyebrows fiercely. She always felt that this matter might not end so easily.

Afraid that Zhang Huaimin and others would betray Yang Liu, Accountant Wu planned to send him to Beijing overnight.

When he returned home, he started packing his things. This time, he planned to personally escort Yang Liu to Beijing to prevent the other party from doing anything unexpected.

After Yuan Houzi and his companions had successfully settled into Old Chen's house, they began to keep an eye on the Gu and Wu families. At this time, Yuan Houzi discovered through a telescope that Accountant Wu was packing his luggage, as if he was going on a long journey.

Yuan Houzi, who noticed something was wrong, immediately called Yuan Shan over and said, "Big Brother, something doesn't seem right. Come over and take a look!"

Huh? Upon hearing this, Yuan Shan walked over to Yuan Houzi, picked up the telescope, and began to observe. He saw Accountant Wu in the room opposite him already stuffing valuables into his luggage.

The other party's posture showed that they were indeed going on a long journey, which completely disrupted their plans.

"What should we do, senior brother?" Yuan Houzi stood aside and asked his senior brother in an anxious tone.

"Don't panic, let me think about what to do!" After Yuan Shan comforted his junior brother, he circled around me, thinking about what to do to ensure that everything would be safe.

After a long silence, Yuan Shan said to Yuan Houzi, "No more waiting, let's catch up later and take action while no one is around!"

After hearing what his senior brother said, Yuan Houzi widened his eyes in shock. When did his senior brother become so reckless?

"This...will this work?" Yuan Houzi asked hesitantly.

"We have to do it even if we have to! Otherwise, once someone escapes from under our noses, it will be difficult to find another opportunity." Yuan Shan explained to the monkey.

In fact, Yuan Shan was not sure about it, but things had developed to this point, so he had to go ahead with it.

Seeing that Accountant Wu on the opposite side had almost finished packing, Yuan Shan and Yuan Houzi put away their daggers and went out.

This period of time is neither the rush hour nor the time when the aunties in the family compound go out to buy groceries, so there are actually not many people on the road leading out of the family compound.

Yuan Houzi and the other man rushed over in advance, found a convenient place to escape, and waited there.

Yuan Shan pretended to be a naughty child and was playing tricks on the spot, while Yuan Houzi pretended to be a parent who was angry with the child.

"Are you going to leave or not? If you don't leave, I'm going to hit someone." As he said that, he went up and grabbed Yuan Shan's arm.

"Whoa whoa whoa! I won't leave! I won't leave!"

Accountant Wu packed up his things and was walking out in a hurry. As soon as he turned into this road, he saw this scene.

At this time, Accountant Wu was completely focused on how to send Yang Liu to Beijing smoothly, so he didn't pay much attention to the two noisy father and son next to him.

No one knew what was going on, but the child suddenly broke free from his parents' grasp and rushed straight towards him. Accountant Wu, distracted, was unable to dodge and was knocked to the ground by the child.

But before he could scold the kid who was running around, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. He looked down and saw a dagger stuck straight into his heart.

"You, you guys..." Before Accountant Wu could finish his words, he saw the child pull out the dagger from his heart and stab it again quickly.

Yuan Houzi, who was following behind, ran up and asked the eldest brother who was squatting on the ground, "How is it? Did you succeed?"
