?The figure that hurried past and disappeared in Wufu Street was so familiar because he was none other than Chen Meilan’s husband, Xu Xiping, the municipal finance director. ?

Xiang Tianliang had only seen Xu Xiping two or three times. He just felt that the back looked familiar. The look of surprise on Chen Meilan's face next to him made him immediately know that the man was Xu Xiping.

"This...this is such a coincidence." Xiang Tianliang muttered.

The "coincidence" Xiang Tianliang refers to is that Deputy Mayor Hong Chenghu and Xu Xiping will come to Wufu Street at the same time.

In the official circles of Qinghe City, everyone knows about the relationship between Hong Chenghu and Xu Xiping. As native officials, Hong Chenghu and Xu Xiping are typical powerful factions, but they are jealous of each other, unconvinced by each other, and never interact with each other until death.

It's almost impossible to come to a certain place at the same time like this, even if it happens by chance.

He wanted to go in and take a look, but with Chen Meilan around, he was a little hesitant.

It took a long time for Chen Meilan to come back to her senses. She had too many reasons to be shocked, especially at this moment.

"Master Ba, I want to go in and have a look!"

"This is not good!"

Chen Meilan's proposal was in line with Xiang Tianliang's wishes. If he had been alone, he would have followed it long ago.

"I want to go in and have a look." Chen Meilan insisted, she had already calmed down.

"Sister Chen, why!"

Firstly, I have something to do and I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders. Secondly, the other party is the deputy mayor and Chen Meilan's husband. No matter who I meet, it is embarrassing. Thirdly, Chen Meilan is beside me and is in the way. Finally, the car is following Deputy Mayor Hong.

It was a black Santana, and the person in the car was unidentified.

"If you don't go, I'll go alone!"

With that said, Chen Meilan opened the door and got out of the car.

Xiang Tianliang grabbed Chen Meilan.

"Sister Chen, you have to give me a reason!"

Chen Meilan bit her lip and said, "Old Xu must be hiding something from me!"

"Who doesn't have any personal privacy?" Xiang Tianliang smiled, "For example, the matter between you and me is your personal privacy. Can you tell Lao Xu!"

Chen Meilan blushed, "But, what happened today is too strange!"

"Well, it's a bit strange, but your reaction is too great!"

"Don't you see?" Chen Meilan asked.

"See what you see!"

Chen Meilan said softly: "That car following Deputy Mayor Hong, the black Santana, do you know whose it belongs to?"

"I don't know." Xiang Tianliang shook his head.!"

Xiang Tianliang remembered that Zhang Xiaoya was also a Shaoxing opera actor. In terms of seniority, she was a generation older than Liu Qingqing. She later switched to Qinghe local opera and became the leader of the Qinghe Opera Troupe. She quit the stage and joined the Women's Federation two years ago.

I am forty-six years old this year, and I am also Qingqing

He Xiangdang is a famous figure, but his background is different from that of Hong Chenghu and Xu Xiping. He was a worker, peasant, and soldier college student in the 1970s. He used to teach at a university in the provincial capital, and then became a political cadre. He was transferred back to the university in the mid-1980s.

Qinghe hometown.

Hong, Xu and Yu are three famous political figures in Qinghe.

The relationship between the three families has never been very harmonious, and they have always been in contact with each other.

It's really rare and strange that Wufu Street appears at the same time today.

Xiang Tianliang was persuaded by Chen Meilan.

To be precise, he was convinced by his curiosity.

"Sister Chen, we have a heavy responsibility on our shoulders. One more thing is worse than one less thing. You can go in and have a look, but you must listen to me and follow my command in all actions. At the same time, no matter what the situation is and whatever happens, you must remain calm. Absolutely We can’t let others discover us!”

"Well, I remember it!"

Before getting off the car, Xiang Tianliang opened the black safe, took out several documents inside, put it into Chen Meilan's bag, and asked her to take it with her. The account books of the Third City Construction Company had long been hidden in a safe place. The black safe had already

It's not important anymore.

Wufu Street is a small street with not many passers-by. The street is deserted and filled with all kinds of small shops.

Chen Meilan has lived here for more than ten years. She was afraid of being recognized, so she put on wide-rimmed sunglasses as soon as she got out of the car, covering half of her face.

Xiang Tianliang also wore a pair of sunglasses, but he was not afraid. He boldly put his arms around Chen Meilan's slim waist, keeping their bodies close to each other.

"Master Ba, there are people watching on the street!"

Chen Meilan actually enjoyed it very much, but she was embarrassed in her words.

"Besides, I will kiss you in public!"

Chen Meilan remained silent and let Xiang Tianliang hug her affectionately. She was wearing a dress with a cloth belt around her waist. Xiang Tianliang gently pulled her body, and her body moved involuntarily.

"Ba Ye, you are evil." Chen Meilan said angrily.

"Hey, nothing is difficult in this world, as long as you are willing to climb!"

When Chen Meilan heard this, her pretty face turned even redder.

Xiang Tianliang and Chen Meilan stopped.

Not far ahead is the residential area of ​​Wufu Street, with residences on both sides.

The black Santana was parked there and the taxi was gone.

"The third door on the left is the Xu family's old house, a small courtyard." Chen Meilan whispered.

"Is there a back door?"

"No, the courtyards here are all connected and there is no back door!"

Xiang Tianliang said: "That will be difficult. I can do it alone, but you can't get in!"

"Think of a way." Chen Meilan said softly.

Nodding, Xiang Tianliang hugged Chen Meilan and turned into the small alley next to the Xu family's old house.

There were no pedestrians in the alley, and even the light was dim.

There are windows on the wall.

There are two old-fashioned wooden windows on the ground floor and on the second floor.

This makes it difficult not to face the sky and get in through a window.

Xiang Tianliang and Chen Meilan entered from the second floor.

As soon as he settled down, laughter could be heard from downstairs.

Chen Meilan's body is suspended in the air because she is being held by Xiang Tianliang like a child.

She whispered in Xiang Tianliang's ear: "Only Lao Xu's brother's family lives here. The couple works in Nanhe County and can only go home on weekends. The children also live at grandma's house, so there is usually no one here!"

Xiang Tianliang pretended to be worried, "Will Lao Xu come to the second floor?"

"No, what is he doing here on the second floor?"

"Look at us both!"

"Master Ba, you..."

Chen Meilan snorted and kissed Xiang Tianliang instead.

"***, I like holding someone's wife and listening to their conversation!"

There were people talking loudly downstairs, but I couldn't hear them clearly.

Xiang Tianliang was not tired even when he was holding Chen Lan, but he just refused to let go.

Chen Meilan was shy and nervous, and did not dare to speak out, so she could only let Xiang Tianliang hold her.

Xiang Tianliang is looking for the best eavesdropping position.

It's a pity that although the doors of several rooms upstairs are open and facing the guests below, as the saying goes, the houses are old and new, and the floors above are added, so you can't hear what is being said downstairs.

Chen Meilan knew what Xiang Tianliang was looking for, so she smiled and pointed to the corridor.

But when we reached the corridor, we still couldn't hear the voices downstairs.

Chen Meilan pointed to the stairs again.

Xiang Tianliang was startled.

Women are really bold, and Chen Meilan, who looks weak on the outside, is no exception.

Xiang Tianliang is very familiar with the structural layout of this kind of old-fashioned house. His brother-in-law's house is like this. The stairs are made of wood and creak when you step on them over time. They are surrounded by wooden walls on both sides. There is a wooden door at the top and bottom of the stairs.

The wooden door below usually opens outward. When the wooden door is opened, it is the main room, which is the living room.

If you eavesdrop on the stairs, you can hear clearly, but once the secret is revealed, as soon as the door of the stairs is opened, the eavesdropper will be exposed and there will be no escape.

Unable to defeat Chen Meilan, Xiang Tianliang took off his shoes and asked Chen Meilan to take off her own shoes.
