Chapter 13: Is Li Wansheng the Weak Point?

  Volume 1 Rebirth Return Chapter 13 Is Li Wansheng Really a Weak Point?

  In the afternoon, Su Rui made an appointment with Tao Zexi at a small restaurant near the police station. It was already past dinner time, so there were only two or three people eating in the small restaurant.

  As soon as Tao Ze Xi arrived at the small restaurant, he saw such a scene: the afternoon sunlight shone on Su Rui's body, forming a circle of light around her, making people feel warm. His anxious heart, which had been frustrated by the lack of progress in searching for evidence, also calmed down at this moment.

  "You're here, have you had lunch? I've ordered two small dishes, see what else you want to eat." Su Rui rinsed the teacup with hot water and poured him a cup.

  "How's it going? Any progress?"

  Tao Ze Xi hesitated because his subconscious didn't want to disappoint her.

  Looking at Tao Zexi's hesitant expression, Su Rui knew that there was definitely no progress. She picked up her teacup and took a sip of water, just about to speak, when the dishes they had ordered arrived, so she changed her mind and said "Let's eat first, we'll find a quiet place to talk later, this isn't a good place to talk." After saying that, she picked up her chopsticks and rinsed them in hot water before starting to eat.

  After the two finished eating, Tao Zewei took Su Wei to his residence in Qingmu. After entering, Su Wei saw the entire room at a glance. The room was less than thirty square meters, but it was very clean and didn't look like a big man's room at all.

  "Please sit down, I'll go get you a glass of water. It's just plain boiled water, don't mind."

  Su Rui sat on the only chair, took over the water cup, and then began to size up this room.

  The whole room had only a single bed, a desk and a wardrobe. The single bed was covered with olive green sheets, and the olive green quilt was folded into standard tofu blocks on top of it. At first glance, it was clear that it was a soldier's room. It looked just like Big Brother Su Yi's style, no wonder they were comrades-in-arms.

  On the desk was a tank model that had been glued together with bullet shells. Su Rui looked more and more familiar. She remembered that her big brother Su Xian's room had one just like this, said to be a gift from a comrade-in-arms. It seemed that comrade-in-arms was Tao Zexi.

  Next month is big brother's birthday, it seems that this is what Tao Zexi wants to do to give to big brother. Hmm, does she want to give something to big brother?

  Su Rui put down her water cup, walked over and picked up the tank model. With her back to Tao Zexi, she said, "Not bad."

  Tao Zexi's heart sank when he saw Su Rui pick up the tank model. His aunt, if it was damaged, he would have died of a broken heart. It was the result of his efforts for more than three months. He could only work on it at night under the desk lamp, and after finishing, his eyes were straight and wouldn't move, to the point where his colleagues thought he had eye disease and even recommended folk remedies.

  Seeing Su Rui about to put down the tank model, he quickly went over and held his hands under it.

  "Ancestors, you quickly put that back for me, don't break it."

  Su Rui saw Tao Zexi so nervous about this tank model, and couldn't help but feel happy that his brother had such a good friend, at the same time also having the idea to tease Tao Zexi.

  She suddenly lifted the model, leaving Tao Zexi's protection range, and smiled playfully.

  "You're so nervous about this model, is it for some girl? Your girlfriend? Or someone you like?"

  "Don't just say anything, this is for my best buddy. His birthday is next month, don't ruin it for me, I've been working on it for several months."

  "Your good brother is going to have a birthday? Help me bring a gift too, I'll give it to you next time we meet." What should I get for my big brother anyway?

  "You don't even know him, no need to give gifts." Tao Zexi felt something was off, Su Yun's family background wasn't simple. Did Su Rui know something? Had she had improper thoughts? Impossible, Tao Zexi denied this idea, after all Su Rui was just a small county town girl, although also surnamed Su...

  Poor Taosee, missed the truth of success.

  Su Rui looked at Tao Zexi's vigilant appearance and nodded secretly, her vigilance was okay, but she was a bit stupid. In fact, Su Rui misunderstood Tao Zexi, how could someone from the elite team Huo Shi be stupid? It's just that Su Rui always gave Tao Zexi a very familiar feeling, so she didn't reject her approach. If it were someone else, all they would see was Tao Zexi's disguise, a small policewoman.

  "Just a small gift, just to show my intention, it's not worth much money." Su Rui said with a shrug.

  Su Rui's expression was nonchalant, but she was actually very nervous in her heart, fearing that Tao Zexi would not agree. However, even if he didn't agree, she still had to send it; at worst, she could just mail it over.

  In her previous life, she owed too much to her elder brother. If it wasn't for her telling Wu Yong about Grandpa and Elder Brother's conversation, Elder Brother wouldn't have ended up with no place to rest his bones. In this life, she vowed that she definitely wouldn't let her loved ones get hurt again.

  "If you want to send it, just send it, I'll be leaving for a while next month, so send it to me before that."

  "No problem." With Tao Ze Xi's agreement, Su Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  "How's the evidence collection going?" Su Rui leaned back in her chair and picked up her water cup.

  "Zhang Fumin is too cunning, Li Wansheng is still his brother-in-law, almost all of them are his people, those who don't listen to him have been driven away by him. The whole Qingmu County is under his control, no one dares to discuss the Zhang family's affairs, and only Li Wansheng has a mistress outside, while Zhang Fumin doesn't even have a concubine. I got that little evidence but it's not enough to bring down Zhang Fumin." Tao Zexi's voice was somewhat frustrated. He thought he was good at investigation and martial arts, but he was actually stumped by a local tyrant, if those guys found out they would definitely laugh at him.

  Su Rui held a water cup in her left hand, and with her right thumb and index finger, she habitually twirled.

  When Tao Zexi saw Su Rui's action, his pupils contracted slightly, and he was slightly startled in his heart, but his face didn't show it. This action was too familiar to him. Su Yun would do this action when she was thinking! Was this... a coincidence? He could only explain it to himself like that. After all, he had never heard of Su Yun having a 14-year-old sister, and she didn't even look like Su Yun, so he convinced himself.

  "Who do you think knows Zhang Fumin's actions best?" Su Rui said slowly.

  "You mean... Li Wansheng?"

  "Yes, Li Wansheng must have evidence of Zhang Fumin's crime. After all, even if they were biological brothers, it's impossible that there would be no guard against each other at all, let alone the fact that only one person, Zhang Yufeng, is connected to both of them."

  "Then let's start with Li Wansheng, but I've been here for half a year and haven't found anything different." Tao Zexi looked at Su Rui, waiting for her to speak. Not at all, the two of them have been dominated by Su Rui since they met today.

  Su Rui smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry about this for now. The most important thing is to find an opportunity for me to meet Li Wan Sheng in secret, just a sneak peek will do."

  "Take a look at Li Wansheng? What are you going to do?"

  "You'll know when the time comes. Alright, I've been out for long enough, it's time to go back." With that, he put down his cup and stood up, preparing to leave.
