A faint light flashed through Su Wanqing's eyes, and she frowned, "..."

Who was ahead of them and took the key?

After a while, ink was lingering in her eyes. She picked up the letters and photos that fell on the ground. Until there was no omission, she stood up and handed the iron box and letters back to Xiao Yanhong, "Mom, let's go first!"

Since someone took the keys, it would be useless for them to stay here!

Looking for the keys, and falling into a dead end.

On the way back, the atmosphere became dull.

Xiao Yanhong's eyes were red, and she hugged the iron box tightly with her hands, as if she had obtained a Supreme Baby, and she didn't want to let go for a minute.

After a long time, Su Wanqing broke the deadlock and whispered a question in her heart, "Mom, have you ever thought about who is thinking about that key? Does he know what the key has? If he knows everything, maybe he is the person around his father!"

If her speculation is true, what is the purpose of that person taking the key?

He played another role in the whole thing!

Suppose the other party and Su Yuelin are enemies... No, no, this assumption is not valid at all!

No one will tell his enemies the secret!

Either an enemy or an acquaintance!

The Su family was a landlord at that time, with a big family and a big business. In addition to the open property, they should have hidden some unknown valuable things.

Could that key is to find out the secret key to the Su family’s hidden property?

Thinking of this, Su Wanqing's heart moved and blurted out, "Mom, will anyone think about our property? So, I have been acting secretly, trying to find out the property hidden by the Su family!"

Later generations, she would occasionally learn from newspapers and news that landlords of this era had many different ways to hide their property in order to prevent house searches.

Xiao Yanhong was stunned and did not react for a while.

Could it be that someone really covets the Su family’s property?

After a brief silence, Xiao Yanhong looked deep and said with a heavy tone, "At that time, our Su family was indeed a big family. I left in a hurry and didn't have time to take away any valuable things! I don't know whether those valuable things were confiscated or hidden by your father! However, your father is meticulous and even if he hides the keys and valuable things, he can't tell others!"

Su Wanqing pondered, "I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, but I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it. I can't say this clearly! There are so many things in the iron box, and the man took away the copper key... His behavior is very suspicious!" After all, it is well known that the Su family is prosperous.

It is inevitable that someone will think about it!

Chu Haotian, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "Mom, what happened to the incident of affair with foreign enemies when Dad was reported to have an affair with a foreign enemy?" With his understanding of Su Yuelin'er since he heard of him, he would not have done such a horrifying thing at all!

The Su family yard is in a small town, and the news is relatively closed. Su Yuelin is also an honest person and has no conditions or motivation to affair with foreign enemies.

According to the news he learned from the villagers, after the incident of affair with foreign enemies, no ironclad evidence of Su Yuelin's affair with foreign enemies was found.

Unfortunately, in that turbulent era, a false news was enough to destroy a person.

Su Wanqing's eyes lit up, "Haotian, what do you mean is that the person who reported my father's affair with foreign enemies back then was probably the one who coveted my property! He is also the one who steals the keys now!"

In this way, everything makes sense!

Behind the seemingly calm, there was a black hand that was manipulating everything, trying to steal all the Su family's property.

Chu Haotian nodded, "It's very likely that's the case!"

Xiao Yanhong tightly swung her fists, her eyes were scarlet, sweeping away the easy-goingness of the past, and her whole body exuded a violent aura, choking in a voice, "Who is it, who is it! Who is so cruel! You must kill Yue Lin and let the Su family be destroyed! Now, at this point, you still don't let go?"

Su Wanqing supported Xiao Yanhong who was about to faint, bit her lips, forced her to suppress the anger in her heart, and said word by word, "Mom, don't worry! I will definitely find out who reported that Dad had an affair with foreign enemies!"

Chu Haotian's deep eyes were deep, "Mom, let this matter be handled by me and Wanqing. You should stay with Jing Tian at your aunt's house!"

Xiao Yanhong leaned on Su Wanqing's shoulder, looking at them with tears in her eyes, "Good boy, mom doesn't want any property, I just want you to be safe! If it really doesn't work, let's leave here!"

They are in the open and the enemy is in the dark. Who knows whether the other party will hurt them?

In case, during the investigation, they encounter any danger!

Xiao Yanhong didn't dare to continue thinking. She shook her head and tried to shake off her mind's random thoughts. She clenched Su Wanqing's arm with both hands, begging with red eyes, "Wanqing, we... don't check, don't check anything, the key will disappear if it disappears! Is it okay for us to go back to Taohua Town? I don't want to stay here!"

She was afraid...she was afraid something happened to her three children!

She can't afford to gamble, and she dares not gamble!

Su Wanqing looked at Xiao Yanhong with her eyes firm, "Mom, don't worry, Haotian and I will not be in trouble! Jingtian will not be in trouble! If we don't find out the person behind us, who knows what he wants to do!"

Xiao Yanhong hesitated for a moment, feeling that Su Wanqing seemed to be saying something reasonable. After a while, she nodded, "Okay, then you must be careful!"

——

Late at night, the moonlight was like a scattered mist, and the entire Su family courtyard seemed to be covered with a layer of light veil, like a dream, like a fairyland.

Su Wanqing remembered what happened during the day and couldn't fall asleep. She simply put on her clothes and walked out of the door. The coolness of late autumn came. She gathered her clothes and walked slowly towards the Su family's blue brick high-walled courtyard along the bluestone road.

Everything is quiet, and occasionally the barking of dogs embellish it.

In the night, the blue brick high-walled courtyard was shrouded in the mist, adding a few mysterious auras.

Su Wanqing walked slowly towards the gate, where seven or eight villagers lived. In addition to tying up their own gate, the mottled gate in the courtyard was covered with silence. Su Wanqing raised her foot and stepped up the stone steps.

Through the faintly hidden door, I happened to see the peach tree next to the patio.

At the same time, a thin figure stood beside the peach tree wearing a black hat.

He looked up slightly, his eyes focused on the peach tree in front of him and the objects in the house, just like looking at his beloved treasure, with nostalgic eyes.

In the faint moonlight, a hat covered his face, and I couldn't see how he looked.

She secretly praised in her heart, why is this person so strange?

What are you doing here in the middle of the night?

Is it like her that I can't sleep and go out for a walk?

"Wanqing!"

Suddenly, Chu Haotian's urgent voice came from behind her. Su Wanqing subconsciously looked back, responded to Chu Haotian, and waved to him, "Haotian, I'm here, here!"

In seconds, Chu Haotian came to her and quickly put the clothes she brought with her. Her warm palms tightly wrapped around her cold little hands, her eyes were burning, her voice was low and dull, and her tone was filled with a thin anger, "What are you doing here alone in the middle of the night? What if you encounter danger!"

If he hadn't been alert to hear the noise, he stood up to check the situation in Su Wanqing's room, and then chased him out.

I don’t know that she was walking outside in the middle of the night!

Su Wanqing felt the warmth in his palm, and a burst of warmth came out in her heart, "Haotian, thank you!"

It feels so good to be cared for by others!

While speaking, she subconsciously glanced at the figure beside the peach tree in the yard from the corner of her eyes, but there was nothing there. Only the peach tree stood alone by the patio, as if the figure that appeared just now was her illusion, and it had never appeared before!

Is it her illusion?

Or is someone really showing up there?

If there is really someone, who is that person?

Chu Haotian looked at Su Wanqing's frown and silent look, frowned, and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?" Did she find out what happened?

Su Wanqing suddenly realized, "It's nothing, maybe I've read it wrong! Go home!"

Chu Haotianshen looked at the direction of the courtyard, gently put his waist on her waist, and nodded, "Well, let's go back! I will go to the relevant departments in the town tomorrow to learn about some situation!"

Su Wanqing leaned against Chu Haotian's warm and broad chest and murmured, "Okay!"

The moonlight poured out, pulling out the shadows of their tightly embracing each other.

A figure slowly walked out of the darkness, looking at their backs, and there was something thought between their eyebrows and eyes.

——

The next morning.

Su Wanqing and Chu Haotian rushed to Shiqiao Town, which was in charge of Su family yards, and went to relevant departments in the town to learn about Su Yuelin's affair with foreign enemies in the Su family yard.

No response was made.

Although this incident was very exciting back then, people still regard it as a topic of conversation after dinner.

After all, things have changed for the past thirteen years.

Some of the people involved have retired, some have left here... In short, the so-called law enforcement officers are in chaos and cannot be traced back.

When Su Wanqing was exhausted and walked out of the last unit gate with Chu Haotian, she said angrily, "Haotian, I have gone to all the places I can go! Still, there is no news at all, what should I do?"

These days, by understanding Su Yuelin's character, she is 100% sure that Su Yuelin did not have an affair with foreign enemies back then!

Someone must have framed it!

It’s just thirteen years later. If I hadn’t experienced the events of that year personally, who would have remembered so clearly?

Chu Haotian pressed his eyebrows and said, "If it really doesn't work, let's go back and ask the brigade secretary of that year!" It was a serious crime to have an affair with foreign enemies. Although the brigade secretary of that year would participate, he might not be clear about the core secrets involved in the whistleblower.

But now that I haven't asked for any information, I can only try my luck!

At the gate, the old man guarding the door heard the conversation between the two and looked at their tired look. In his mind, the tragic incident that happened in the Su family yard that year flashed across his face. After a while, he finally chased after him, "Young man, girl, please stay!"

Su Wanqing turned around and asked with a smile, "Old man, are you doing anything?"

The old man at the door bit his lip, looked at Su Wanqing's clear eyes that could not hide a little dirt like water, and blurted out, "Are you asking about Su Yuelin's affair with foreign enemies in the Su family yard back then?"

Su Wanqing's breathing stagnated, "Old man, do you know about Su Yuelin?"
