"You're awake?" Lu Xingzhi held the spatula in one hand and stroked Jiang Yao's hair with the other. His face was full of tenderness. "Go brush your teeth and wash your face. We can eat after that. After dinner, we'll go to Jin City to buy some things in the afternoon. It's almost the New Year."
Jiang Yao perked up. She nodded and asked, "Do you want to ask your comrades to join us for the New Year's Eve dinner? Zhou Junmin and the others haven't settled down yet, and they don't have holidays to visit their families. You can ask them to join in the fun. "
After saying that, Jiang Yao scratched her head. "It's a pity that I can't cook. I can't help you."
"No need." Lu Xingzhi pushed Jiang Yao to the bathroom door. "It's just the two of us this year. It's enough."
This was the first time he and Jiang Yao spent the New Year together. He didn't want anyone else to spend the New Year with them. He didn't like crowds either. As long as Jiang Yao was with him, it was enough.
Jiang Yao went to wash up, and Lu Xingzhi went back to the kitchen to cook. When Jiang Yao came out of the kitchen after washing her face, she happened to hear Lu Xingzhi's phone ringing. Lu Xingzhi was cooking in the kitchen, so he didn't hear it. She took the phone and glanced at it before going into the kitchen.
"Your phone is ringing. It's a call from Yuan City." Jiang Yao handed Lu Xingzhi his phone. Seeing that his hands were covered in oil, she asked, "Do you want to answer it?"
"Answer it and put it next to my ear." Lu Xingzhi nodded. Seeing that Jiang Yao was standing on her tiptoes, he chuckled softly and bent down. There was a hint of mockery in his laughter.
Jiang Yao pretended not to hear his laughter, but she still glanced at him. She reached out and pressed his head down a little more before putting the phone next to his ear.
Because the two of them were close to each other, Jiang Yao could clearly hear what the person on the phone was saying to Lu Xingzhi.
Jiang Yao wasn't sure who the person on the phone was, but she understood what he was talking about with Lu Xingzhi.
Yuan City's Madam Chai was seriously injured by a fellow inmate in prison and was sent to the hospital. After that, she died.
The woman who used to be able to do whatever she wanted in Yuan City was dead. She died in prison.
Lu Xingzhi talked on the phone for about three minutes before he asked Jiang Yao to put the phone away. Then, he continued to pour the vegetables out of the pot with a natural expression.
Lu Xingzhi was calm. His mood didn't fluctuate at all because of the phone call, but Jiang Yao was scared out of her wits.
"This should be considered killing the mother to protect the child, right?" Jiang Yao asked as she poked Lu Xingzhi's arm.
The man on the phone told Lu Xingzhi that on the surface, Madam Chai was beaten to death by a fellow inmate with a farming tool during an argument. However, this was only on the surface.
In reality, Madam Chai was always murdered.
The man told Lu Xingzhi that he had investigated the person who beat Madam Chai. He found out that the woman had been sent to prison because she had done a lot of illegal things in the underworld. At that time, she was sentenced to life imprisonment. The woman had a son outside and had been living a poor life. However, the son had recently received a large sum of money and was eating and drinking everywhere. He had also opened an account in a bank with a few hundred thousand yuan in it.
Before Madam Chai was beaten to death, a person had visited the woman in prison. She had brought some food and a few books to the woman and said a few words to her.
That person had visited the woman for a few days in a row. She had stopped visiting the woman two days before the incident. When the man investigated the woman who had beaten Madam Chai, he found out that the woman's registration information was all fake.
