Chapter 445

When his wife suddenly nestled into his arms, Wang Qinghe instinctively and skillfully embraced her.

When he spoke, his voice softened significantly: "Xiuxiu, what do you want... what's the matter?"

Wang Qinghe almost asked his wife what she wanted. As soon as she hugged him, whatever she asked for, he wanted to give it to her.

Bai Xiuxiu looked up at him from his arms, showing a rare moment of real emotion: "Be careful with everything today. Even though everything is arranged, with so many of them around, accidents can still happen. You have to protect yourself, no matter what, you're the most important.

Only if you're safe can the two children and I live well.

If you leave me by myself..."

She thought she could manage, but life would be tough.

Moreover, after a lifetime, she seemed to have truly fallen in love with her husband.

Bai Xiuxiu's hand reached up to his face, her eyes not showing deep love, but definitely fondness.

In her previous life, her interactions with Wang Qinghe were more about him understanding her, while she wasn't curious about his thoughts. During those days at Old Wang’s, she felt life was unsatisfying and just wanted a better life.

So, she never thought about what love was; it was just that he was the best-looking guy in the village, so they got married.

Only after her death, with her soul lingering, did she slowly start to understand him.

After being reborn, she slowly fell in love with this man.

Was it love? Anyway, if she had to choose now, she'd only want to marry Wang Qinghe.

No one else made her heart race but him.

Wang Qinghe's heart raced. When love is returned, no one understands it better than the person involved.

Looking at his wife in his arms, Wang Qinghe felt dry-mouthed, but he didn't know what to say. He was so happy he wanted to do something with her right then.

But his wife had to go to work soon, and he had important things to do.

Holding back his restlessness, Wang Qinghe gently held her, his movements soft, afraid of scaring her.

He also didn't want her to see his messy state at that moment.

Bai Xiuxiu could hear Wang Qinghe's heartbeat, which was beating unusually fast.

Was he feeling nervous?

"No matter what, I will never leave you alone."

After making this promise to his wife, Wang Qinghe reluctantly released her: "Xiuxiu, I'm going to work. I'll come to pick you up tonight."

"I'll wait for you." Hearing this, Bai Xiuxiu felt reassured.

He always kept his word to her; if he promised, he would definitely do it.

Wang Qinghe rode his bike with extra vigor all the way.

It didn't take long for him to reach the factory. He parked his bike there, and Wang Qingfu had been waiting for Wang Qinghe since early morning.

To avoid arousing Wang Qinghe's suspicion, he didn't dare wait at the entrance, fearing that Wang Qinghe might find him too eager and become suspicious.

He was utterly tormented inside, and after waiting for a long time, he kept glancing outside.

Was Wang Qinghe deceiving him?

"Didn’t you call in sick? Why are you still wandering around the factory instead of going to the hospital?" The foreman overseeing Wang Qingfu questioned him when he saw that Wang Qingfu was still in the factory.

This temp, how long has he even been around? First, he’s been nothing but trouble for everyone, and now that he's not feeling well, instead of going to see a doctor, what is he dragging on for?

Wang Qingfu quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Master Yang, I'm just about to leave."

"Get going, and come back once you’re feeling better."

Wang Qingfu grew even more frantic. Just as he was about to bolt for the main gate, Wang Qinghe showed up.

Wang Qinghe was talking to someone, and after a few words, he walked over.

"What took you so long? Do you really want that evidence? If you don’t, I won’t wait for you anymore. I even took time off for you." Wang Qingfu transferred his dissatisfaction from being scolded to Wang Qinghe.

He was itching to curse him out.

Wang Qinghe casually glanced at him: "I’m not rushing into this kind of thing, why are you so anxious? Didn’t you already take time off? Anyway, I’m curious too—the evidence isn’t exactly hard to come by, so why do you insist on taking me to a place?"

Wang Qingfu’s heart skipped a beat. Why did Wang Qinghe suddenly ask today when he hadn’t asked the past two days?

What’s his deal?

"Whatever, I don’t care. Just hand over the goods. Quit dawdling, let’s get moving." Wang Qinghe casually brushed the matter aside, and Wang Qingfu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had already forgotten about venting his anger on Wang Qinghe.

He scrambled to come up with an excuse and said with a cold face: "I brought you along to make sure you’re serious about this. What if I hand it over and you just take off without paying?

Let’s head somewhere secure, and when I feel safe, I’ll give you the evidence, and you give me the money."

After that, Wang Qingfu felt like a total genius!

Wang Qinghe nodded, indicating that he believed him.

"So, where exactly are we headed?" Wang Qinghe asked casually as he followed Wang Qingfu out.

At that, Wang Qingfu instantly went on guard: "Why are you asking this, brother?"

"Don’t I have a right to know where we’re going? If you don’t tell me, then we don’t have to go together. Also, don’t try to fool me with a fake address.

If the place you say isn’t where we’re actually going, I definitely won’t go with you."

Wang Qinghe looked at Wang Qingfu, and at this moment, Wang Qingfu had no chance to refuse.

If they really wanted to do something, they must have prepared everything. So no matter what demands he had now, whether Wang Qingfu would be suspicious or not, Wang Qingfu wouldn’t dare to refuse.

Wang Qinghe’s thoughts were indeed Wang Qingfu’s current feelings.

He cursed in his heart, always feeling that something was off.

But as long as he could trick the person to the place, he would be successful.

Just knowing a location, what could happen?

Who would know?

After a moment of thought, Wang Qingfu spoke out: "At an old shoe factory east of Old Willow Tree Street, in the west part of the city."

"Okay, let's head out." Wang Qinghe didn't press him further this time.

The two walked towards the door, and once they were outside, Wang Qinghe saw Yu Cheng waiting in the corner.

He asked Wang Qingfu once more: "Are we going to the old shoe factory east of Old Willow Tree Street, in the west part of the city?"

"Huh? Yeah." Wang Qingfu answered without thinking, and then he paused, looking around.

Seeing no one around, he finally relaxed and began to complain to Wang Qinghe: "Why'd you have to say it so loud? What if someone overheard? Plus, didn't I already tell you?"

"It's nothing. I thought you might be pulling my leg, so I made sure to say it out loud. To see if you'd pause, and if you did, it meant you were lying." Wang Qinghe quickly came up with an excuse.

Wang Qingfu was at a loss for words: "Why are you so paranoid?"

The two walked out one behind the other, and only after they were well out of sight did Yu Cheng come out from the corner he was hiding in.
