Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

Chapter 798 Dog bites dog

Deputy Director Li was actually full of doubts, not understanding why his seemingly foolproof plan had failed miserably. However, he still pretended to be calm, showing a confident smile and said, "In my opinion, this matter is most likely related to Gu Nan. Have you forgotten that Gu Nan was also present at the scene?"

Xu Damao frowned slightly, initially skeptical. After all, he had always considered Gu Nan a low-key person. But then he realized that Gu Nan had indeed been at the scene of the incident. He nodded and said, "Yes, Deputy Director Li, Gu Nan was indeed there. But..."

Deputy Director Li looked at Xu Damao's hesitant expression and couldn't help but say with some disapproval, "Are you stupid? Didn't you see that the Public Security Bureau people were having a very pleasant conversation with Gu Nan? All signs indicate that this incident must be related to Gu Nan."

Xu Damao shook his head helplessly, his face showing embarrassment. He said, "Although I also know that this matter is likely related to Gu Nan, but Gu Nan is not only the canteen director, but also an engineer. His status and position are not ordinary. What do you think we should do about this matter?"

Deputy Director Li sneered, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. He said, "I used to think there was no need to bother with Gu Nan and didn't want to provoke him too much. But now it seems that Gu Nan forced me to do this. Since he insists on getting involved in this mess, don't blame me for being rude. It seems that it is indeed time to take action."

Xu Damao perked up immediately upon hearing what Deputy Director Li said. A flattering smile spread across his face as he said, "Since Deputy Director Li is ready to take action, I will definitely follow you closely and do whatever you lead. I just wonder what plans you have in mind?"

Deputy Director Li waved his hand and said, "There's no rush on this matter. We need to take our time and discuss it. Don't worry, just follow my instructions. I'll make sure Gu Nan knows how powerful we are." Xu Damao nodded quickly and said, "Deputy Director Li, I'll do whatever you say."

After saying this, both men fell silent. Xu Damao had been tossing and turning all day, exhausted both physically and mentally. He soon drifted off to sleep, occasionally snoring softly. But Deputy Director Li tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He recalled how he had always lived a life of luxury, never having slept in this cold prison. The bed here was hard and cold, and the air was filled with a damp and decaying smell that made him feel uncomfortable. He was filled with resentment and secretly vowed to make Gu Nan pay for his actions today.

Meanwhile, Gu Nan returned home in high spirits. As soon as he entered, he couldn't wait to shout to Lou Xiao'e, "Lou Xiao'e, did you know? Xu Damao and Deputy Director Li have both been arrested! This was a brilliant move for us. We finally got rid of our anger."

Lou Xiao'e came out from the house with a relieved smile on her face and said, "Really? That's great. These two people often make things difficult for us, and now they are reaping the consequences." The two smiled at each other, feeling very happy.

Lou Xiao'e looked out the window quietly, her eyes revealing endless resentment. She gritted her teeth and said, "Xu Damao, that guy deserves to die. I..." When the words came to her lips, she seemed to be choked by something and couldn't go on.

Gu Nan watched Lou Xiao'e hesitate, then saw Ran Qiuye also looking over her shoulder, and a hint of doubt crept into his heart. He smiled gently and said, "Do you have anything you want to say? Don't hold it in. Just say it. I'm not unreasonable." At that moment, Gu Nan suspected that Lou Xiao'e might want to go out for a walk with Ran Qiuye to relax. After all, after going through so much, anyone would feel uneasy.

Ran Qiuye shook her head gently, her eyes full of worry, and said, "No, you also know that Mom has moved away, and Sister Xiao'e is now divorced from Xu Damao. She doesn't have many relatives in this big place. You see..." Ran Qiuye said while carefully observing Gu Nan's expression.

Gu Nan looked at Ran Qiuye, his curiosity growing. He said, "Qiuye, we are husband and wife. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't make me guess here. It's uncomfortable."

Ran Qiuye took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Sister Xiao'e has been in a very bad mood these past two days and wants to stay with us for two days. Do you think that's okay?" After saying that, she looked at Gu Nan expectantly.

After hearing this, Gu Nan smiled with relief and said, "I thought it was a big deal. But then again, Mom has moved out, how are you going to arrange accommodation?"

Ran Qiuye looked at Gu Nan, her eyes full of apology, and said, "Sister Xiao'e has been very sad these past two days. I've cleaned up my mother's room and made it available for her to live in. Do you think you can move into my mother's room as well?"

Gu Nan nodded without hesitation and said lovingly, "My wife is the most important person in the family. I will do whatever you arrange. In that case, I will go cook and let you taste my cooking skills."

Ran Qiuye didn't expect Gu Nan to agree so readily. She was touched and surprised. She quickly shook her head and said, "Gu Nan, don't bother. I don't have work now, so I have plenty of time. I've already prepared dinner, so just wait and eat. It will be on the table soon."

Gu Nan looked at Ran Qiuye, his eyes full of heartache and gratitude, and said: "Qiuye, you must remember that you quit your job for me. I understand it in my heart and naturally will not blame you. In my heart, you have sacrificed too much for this family."

Lou Xiao'e watched the two of them chattering endlessly, and couldn't help but smile. She jokingly said, "Come on, I'm still here, and the child is here too. Stop flirting here, it's making me feel a little embarrassed."

After hearing what Lou Xiaoe said, Ran Qiuye's face turned red like a ripe apple.

Soon, it was time for dinner. Everyone gathered around the table, the atmosphere particularly warm. As Gu Nan served everyone food, he looked at Lou Xiao'e and said, "Lou Xiao'e, now that things here are almost done, when are you planning to go to Xianghe?" Gu Nan knew that Lou Xiao'e was different now than in her previous life. She didn't have so many burdens, and she no longer had any connection with He Yuzhu.
