The next morning, after Jiang Cheng had breakfast at his uncle's house, he set off for home. Last night, he had accompanied his three uncles to play mahjong until midnight. As a newbie, Jiang Cheng had lost thousands of yuan.
He didn't lose any tiles for more than ten rounds. His luck was very bad. Although Jiang Cheng lost badly, his three uncles were happy. Winning money from their nephew was nothing, but they were old people. They would be happy when they earned money from playing mahjong.
Jiang Cheng didn't feel anything. One thousand yuan was just a meal for him. But since his elders were happy, he was naturally happy.
It was only ten o 'clock in the morning when he got home. His parents and wife were all there, and there were guests at home.
Jiang Cheng didn't know who they were. He felt that they were unfamiliar, so he asked curiously, "Mom, we have guests!"
Hu Xiulan introduced with a smile, "Come, let me introduce you. This is your great-uncle and great-aunt. They are here to pay a New Year's visit to us."
"Ah, Great Uncle and Great Aunt, how can we let you go first? We juniors should go first!"
In fact, at this time, Jiang Cheng despised them in his heart. Because before this, he had never heard of any great-uncle and great-aunt, and he didn't go to pay a New Year's visit to them. This year, they suddenly came to pay a New Year's visit.
And according to the traditional etiquette, it should be Jiang Cheng, the younger generation, who went to pay a New Year's visit to the elders first, and then the next generation of the elders came to pay a New Year's visit. This was common sense.
However, this great-uncle and great-aunt actually came first, and the day they chose was the third day of the first lunar month. This was somewhat unreasonable.
In fact, Jiang Cheng understood the reason very well. It was because their family was rich. They bought a house and a car, and they also married such a beautiful wife. If this happened to their relatives, they would definitely be envious of them.
Sometimes people were like this. No one cared about the poor in the downtown, while the rich in the deep mountains had distant relatives. When Jiang Cheng was poor, he lived in the shanty town. There were no relatives who came to pay a New Year's visit. Except for some families in the shanty town that he had a good relationship with, he didn't see any distant relatives at all.
But now, it was different. All kinds of relatives had started to visit their family. This was not because of money. It was a true portrayal of reality.
After playing mahjong for the whole night, Jiang Cheng excused himself by saying that he was tired and went back to his room. Mino looked at Jiang Cheng and knew that he might be unhappy. She followed him into the room and helped Jiang Cheng get his jacket.
"You don't have to be angry. People are like this. In today's society, if you don't have money, no one will walk with you. If you have money, they will treat you as a relative. If you don't have money, in their eyes, you are just a passerby. Don't take it to heart."
"I know. There's nothing to be angry about. My parents are people who care about their reputation. They are happy that their relatives came to our house for New Year's greetings. Anyway, our family doesn't lack anything, and we don't lack that bit of money. Don't you think so?"
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Mino smiled. "It's the best that you can accept it. Don't take it to heart. How was it? Did you go to your uncle's house smoothly?"
"It was quite smooth. I also helped the police station to catch a few thieves on the way. The police station wanted me to be interviewed, but I declined. I thought you were bored at home alone, so I came back quickly."
Mino chuckled and patted him. "Who's bored? Mom is at home with me. I'm not bored. Honey, I want to go out to bask in the sun. Can you accompany me for a walk?"
"Well, the weather has been very good recently. You really should go out to bask in the sun. Look at you. You are so white and fat. I can't bear to lay my hands on you!"
"Go to hell. Don't be serious!"
Jiang Cheng took a cloak and put it on Mino. He helped her go downstairs to the flower bed of the community.
There were still many old people basking in the sun in the flower bed. There were also many young women pushing strollers out to enjoy the light. Seeing the baby in the stroller, Mino couldn't help but look forward to it.
She said, "Honey, we will have our own baby soon. I'm really looking forward to it now. Do you think it will be a boy or a girl?"
Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said, "I don't care if it's a boy or a girl. As long as it's your child, I like it."
"Well, that's more like it. Hey, I almost forgot something important. This child is going to be born soon. You have to think of a name for the child. If it's a boy, what should it be called? What should it be called if it's a girl?"
"Didn't I say that if it's a boy, he'll be called Big Head. If it's a girl, she'll be called Jiang Xiaomi!" Jiang Cheng chuckled.
"Come on, can we stop fooling around? I'm very serious about this matter now. This name is related to the child's future. If the name is not chosen well, the child's life will be very rough." Mino frowned and said very seriously.
Jiang Cheng compromised. "Okay, okay, okay. I know. Aren't you superstitious about this recently? I see that my mother has been asking a fortune-teller recently. I think she's probably naming the child. If it's a boy, his nickname should be Big Head. As for his real name, it should be Jiang Hao. If it's a girl, she'll be called Jiang Jiayi."
"Jiang Hao? Jiang Jiayi? These two names are not bad. It looks like a person's name. But why is the nickname Big Head? "Mino asked in confusion.
"This is to commemorate a comrade of mine. If he hadn't saved my life, I would have become a pile of bones. How could I be who I am now? I can't forget him. He's someone I can't forget for the rest of my life!"
Mino understood. It turned out that Jiang Cheng had a comrade named Big Head. No wonder he said that the child should be named Big Head. Now, Mino could understand it.
"Jiang Hao, Jiang Jiayi. Okay, these two names. When the time comes, we'll see whether you're Jiang Hao or Jiang Jiayi." Mino touched her belly. Her face lit up with motherly love.
It was really rare for the couple to have so much leisure time to chat and bask in the sun together. Mino felt very happy.
Jiang Cheng also knew that he owed his wife too much. He had hurt her too many times. For this reason, having the opportunity to accompany her was also a kind of compensation.
As the two were basking in the sun, a police car suddenly drove in from the entrance of the community. It was a very dirty Haval H6. When Jiang Cheng saw the license plate, his face suddenly changed.
He was too familiar with this car. This car was driven by Wang Xue, who was always entangled with him. This girl drove this car every day to investigate cases. It was hard for Jiang Cheng not to recognize it.
Wang Xue stepped on the brake and stopped the car by the side of the flower bed. Then, she got out of the car and strode in the direction of Jiang Cheng and Mino.
When Wang Xue got closer, Jiang Cheng asked with a smile, "Police Officer Wang, it's the third day of the Lunar New Year. You drove a police car to my place. I think you're definitely not here to give me a New Year greeting!"
Wang Xue's face was stiff after she got out of the car. She said angrily, "Jiang Cheng, I told you about Zheng Xiaohu in the hope that you can cooperate with our work. However, you privately leaked this information to me, Zheng Xiaohu. This caused the work of our Key Case Investigation Unit to come to a standstill. Jiang Cheng, you must be responsible for this!"
Jiang Cheng touched his head awkwardly and explained, "Police Officer Wang, I really cooperated with your work. I went to persuade him. I hoped that he would surrender. However, I let you down. He didn't think so!"
"Hmph, you will persuade your brother to surrender. Jiang Cheng, the reason why I told you was that I believed in your character. However, I now know that I was wrong about you. I came here today to inform you that we have confirmed the arrest operation. Now, the police are on the way. I'm here to tell you again. Please don't stop us from solving the case. In addition, if you are willing to testify in court, I will be very grateful!"
Jiang Cheng's eyes suddenly changed. He stared at Wang Xue and said, "I'm sorry, Police Officer Wang. I really can't do this. I won't testify against any of my brothers in court. I don't know his criminal evidence. If you have conclusive evidence, you can arrest him. I won't say a word!"
Wang Xue sneered, "That's good. I hope you can do what you say!"
After that, Wang Xue turned around and left. However, halfway through, she turned back and said to Jiang Cheng, "Jiang Cheng, don't ever need me to handcuff you because I can't do it. Before handcuffing you, I will kill you first!"
Wang Xue left the last sentence and finally left. She drove her Haval car and rushed out of the community.
Looking at the red taillights of the Haval, Jiang Cheng's heart was in a mess. He didn't expect the police to close the net so quickly. He had only been looking for Little Tiger for two days, and the police had already started to arrest him. This speed was simply godlike. It wasn't a good sign to arrest someone during the Chinese New Year.
"Wife, I have to go out. You go home and stay!"
Mino had lived with Jiang Cheng for so long. They slept on the same bed at night. She hugged Jiang Cheng at night and touched his heart to sleep. How could she not know what this guy was thinking?
However, she didn't know how to persuade him at this time. She could only say with a pale face, "Be careful!"
Jiang Cheng took the car and quickly drove out of the community. He headed in the direction of Zheng Xiaohu's home. On the way, Jiang Cheng frantically took out a new phone and dialed Zheng Xiaohu's phone number.
This was one of the phones in Jiang Cheng's spare phone. It was a new number, and it was from another place. It wasn't registered with an ID card.
Zheng Xiaohu's phone quickly got through, but no one answered. It wasn't until the fifth call that Zheng Xiaohu picked up the phone.
"Hello, who is this?"
"I'm Jiang Cheng. Little Tiger, where are you now?"
"Big brother, hehe, why are you looking for me now? Didn't you want to send your brother to surrender? Can I believe what you said? Have you colluded with the police? "
"You bastard, if you don't want to die or get shot, now, immediately, immediately, tell me your location!"
There was a long silence on the phone. After a while, Zheng Xiaohu said, "I'm at New Century Garden, Building 12, 203!"
