Chapter 274 Hiring a Killer

But it would be impolite not to call her that, so they added the word "little" and she became "little sister-in-law".

This is why Yan Liti got so angry when Shen Qingyan told her to call Qiao Qiao "little grandma".

She didn't want to constantly remind herself of another unpleasant person while enjoying the happy moment of Qiao Qiao calling her "Grandma."

“Call me Sister Yan,” Yan Liti corrected.

"???" Old Master Tan asked.

“Since you’ve already visited him, you should know we’re getting a divorce. He’s no longer your sister-in-law. If you still want to be on the same page with me, call me Sister Yan,” Yan Liti said.

As for what the old man had said, Yan Liti had always been on guard.

For this reason, in addition to Wang Jun, the driver who was ostensibly a retired soldier, acting as a cover, her son also sent people to secretly follow them.

She wasn't too worried.

After listening to Yan Liti's words, Grandpa Tan paused, looking at Yan Liti with a hint of hesitation.

He shared the same doubts as Old Master Shen.

In his opinion, Shen Qingrong was indeed wrong, and his mistakes were indeed outrageous. But how to put it, the incident hadn't happened yet, and he couldn't quite understand Yan Liti's idea of ​​wanting the other party to die.

Yan Liti looked at Old Master Tan, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

It seemed as if they knew what he was thinking.

She looked at him and said, "Brother Tan, this matter is very complicated, and I can't explain it to you clearly. I haven't spent much time with you, and it's okay if you don't trust me. But you still trust Qingyan's character, right?"

"Shen Qingrong has done something unforgivable to our family. It would be a disservice to heaven if he didn't die!"

Aside from Qiao Qiao, Shen Qingyan, and Fu Yu from the Qiao family, no one else knew about Qiao Qiao's rebirth. Even the Pei family, who could see the bubbles on Qiao Qiao's head, only had a vague understanding of it.

These things are too horrifying for them to explain to everyone; it's unnecessary and impossible for them to do so.

After all, you can't see into someone's heart; besides your closest relatives, who would you dare to tell others?!

As for why I didn't tell Shen Tuo.

Just look at Shen Tuo's actions, both openly and secretly, showing his strong bias towards Shen Qingrong. They don't trust him either, and they're afraid that if they tell him, he'll say they've lost their minds and are just making things up.

So even now, they keep pressuring Old Master Shen to choose a side, but they don't tell him the reason why Qiao Qiao was reborn.

Both she and Shen Qingyan needed Old Master Shen's complete trust. Only if he stood on their side and trusted them unconditionally would they tell him about Qiao Qiao.

otherwise.

He's just a grumpy old man, who would really want him?

As for Grandpa?

Their precious granddaughter wants a grandfather, and there are plenty of grandfathers out there. If all else fails, she can get a divorce and find another one for her beloved granddaughter!

Seeing Yan Liti's serious expression, Grandpa Tan also put away his joking thoughts and became serious.

really.

Shen Qingyan's personality is very rigid and upright.

If Shen Qingrong hadn't truly done something unforgivable, Shen Qingyan wouldn't have taken action.

And they showed no mercy at all.

Grandpa Tan sighed, finally understanding.

This is not something he can reconcile simply by wanting to.

For the rest of the time, Mr. Tan did not mention the matter again, and his mood seemed a little down.

They waited until Qiao Changdong finished his work and came to find them.

"Aunt Yan, Uncle Tan, Sister-in-law Tan, I'm almost done here. It's getting late, let's go to the restaurant. Dinner starts at 11:30."

As Qiao Changdong held his daughter in his arms, he spoke to the four people who were relatively silent on the other side.

He came in and immediately went to hug his little daughter, so he didn't notice that the atmosphere among the four of them was a bit strange.

To entertain the Tan family, Qiao Changdong specially booked three tables at the Sixiang Restaurant in town.

They ate a wild boar feast.

The wild boars were caught by Qiao Qiao and a few boys in the mountains around New Year's Day, and the Qiao family kept quite a few for themselves.

Some were smoked into cured meat, and some were stored with Qiao Xiaoyun.

The last time Qiao Changdong deposited money at the bank, the bank gave him a refrigerator. He figured it was just sitting there anyway, so he put it at Qiao Xiaoyun's place, just like a TV. He froze the wild boar meat that hadn't been smoked into cured meat in the refrigerator.

It's perfect for entertaining Tan's family now.

Meng Zhengcheng delivered the wild boar meat to the restaurant early in the morning and had someone help him prepare it. Apart from the wild boar meat, the restaurant was responsible for all the other dishes.

The agreed time was 11:30.

It's almost 11 o'clock now, and it'll take about 20 minutes to walk there, so the timing is perfect.

"Eating wild boar? Great, great! Let's get going! I haven't had this in years. Back in the day, when we were fighting, we relied on this for a treat..."

When the topic of eating wild boar came up, Grandpa Tan immediately perked up.

Now that he was on his own, he didn't need Dou Yufeng and Tan Hongwei's help and followed Qiao Changdong with great strides.

Tan Hongwei was astonished when he saw it.

Of all the Tan family members, only Dou Yufeng knew about Qiao Qiao's treatment of Old Master Tan, so Tan Hongwei simply thought that Old Master Tan was just craving something sweet.

He was still wondering if his family's food was really that bad.

How come his back doesn't hurt anymore when he hears that he wants to eat meat?

When Qiao Changdong and his group arrived at the restaurant, the others Qiao Changdong had invited had also arrived, and Qiao Changhong and Fang Zhengnan were helping him greet them.

Just before the banquet was about to begin, Meng Zhengcheng and Pei Anting also arrived during their lunch break.

However, both of them looked rather serious.

He came over and pulled Qiao Changdong to a corner to talk to him alone.

Qiao Qiao is already eating a special meal.

Seeing Qiao Changdong being pulled into a corner, she didn't move, but the tips of her ears, hidden under her wispy hair, twitched as she listened to their conversation.

In the corner.

“Dongzi, you need to go to the city police station when you have time. The thief you caught yesterday has several murder cases on his hands. Although it has nothing to do with you, it’s not an ordinary small case. You have to make a statement.” Meng Zhengcheng said as soon as he came up.

"Murder cases?" Qiao Changdong's expression changed. "Several cases?"

Qiao Changdong suddenly remembered that when they bought the kumquat tree that day, the shop owner seemed to have mentioned that the gang of thieves would indeed stab people with knives when the victims chased after them.

Could it be referring to this person's life?

But if they really killed someone, they couldn't possibly let them get away with it until now, right?

"Were those murders all caused by robbery or theft?" Qiao Changdong asked.

Pei Anting shook his head.

"It's their boss. He has a few murders on his hands. The petty thief gang is just a side job for him. His main job is to take money and help people kill."

"It was a coincidence that he was exposed this time. He also had a gold ring from the victim of the previous murder case from the same day, which he hadn't had time to dispose of."

The gang leader probably wanted to sell the gold ring along with the stolen goods.
