208 Visiting Li Zhaodi at Night

Xiaoguo shook off her wandering thoughts and looked at Zhuang Zhuang again. “Do you know who it is?”

Jiang Danhe also looked at him with interest, wanting to hear who it was.

Zhuang Zhuang pretended to move like an adult. With his hands behind his back, he paced slowly on the bed. “This person is… Li! Zhao! Di!”

Xiaoguo raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhuang Zhuang curiously. “How can you be sure that it’s her?”

When Jiang Danhe heard her words, he looked at Zhuang Zhuang again. He was also curious. Why was it her? He had just remembered who Li Zhaodi was.

“Because Li Zhaodi is dressed in rags and has a strange expression on her face,”

Zhuang Zhuang sat on the bed and said innocently.

“Is that all?”

Xiaoguo smiled. Zhuang Zhuang had actually affirmed the suspect just because of this. She thought that the boy had seen Li Zhaodi trying to break in.

Jiang Danhe shook his head. This alone was not very convincing.

Seeing that neither of them believed him, Zhuang Zhuang couldn’t help but feel a little anxious. “It’s true!”

Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe comforted him and quickly nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. It’s true.”

“Hmph!”

Zhuang Zhuang snorted in annoyance when he heard those obviously perfunctory words. He turned his back and played with his feet, ignoring the two of them.

Xiaoguo smiled, then she paused as she thought of something.

“That’s right. How could she have forgotten? Li Zhaodi was a likely suspect!”

“What happened?”

Jiang Danhe asked in confusion as he was suddenly dragged out of the house by Xiaoguo.

“Shh.” Xiaoguo told him to stop talking. Then, she turned to look at Zhuang Zhuang. She was relieved to see that he was still sulking. She continued to pull Jiang Danhe further away from the house.

Just a moment ago, the two of them were still laughing at the name that Zhuang Zhuang had mentioned. Now that they are talking about Li Zhaodi again, their son would be furious to hear them. Therefore, it was best to discuss it behind his back.

“Are you serious?!”

Jiang Danhe asked in surprise after hearing Xiaoguo’s analysis.

“Of course.” Xiaoguo was eighty percent sure that it was Li Zhaodi. “She had broken into our house before and harassed my brother. She doesn’t know that my brother is not living here anymore.”

“Doesn’t she know?” Jiang Danhe frowned. “Didn’t you say that she was pretending to be crazy?”

Xiaoguo nodded. If she wasn’t pretending to be crazy, she wouldn’t have run away in fear when Mrs. Yang yelled at her.

“Since she’s pretending to be crazy, she must know that Brother has left.” Seeing that Xiaoguo still didn’t understand, Jiang Danhe continued, “With her pretending to be crazy, it must be easy for her to eavesdrop on others. After all, no one would be wary when speaking in front of a lunatic.”

Xiaoguo shook her head. “That doesn’t seem likely. When my brother left, no one saw him.”

“What if she saw it herself?” Jiang Danhe asked again. Xiaoguo didn’t speak this time because she suddenly thought of what she had noticed at the door when she sent Qin Anming off the other day. Now that she heard Jiang Danhe’s words, she remembered.

Seeing Xiaoguo like this, Jiang Danhe knew that this was possible. He did not disturb her thoughts and picked up the water beside him.

“That’s possible…” Xiaoguo told Jiang Danhe about what she had noticed the other day. Jiang Danhe nodded to show that he was right.

“Since she knows that our brother has left, why is she here again?”

Xiaoguo couldn’t understand this. If the target wasn’t Qin Anming, could it be her…?

At the thought of this, Xiaoguo shivered and suddenly felt her hair stand on end. What was Li Zhaodi up to?!

It was obvious that Jiang Danhe was thinking the same thing as Xiaoguo. He frowned and a glint flashed across his eyes. If her target was Xiaoguo, Li Zhaodi could not be spared.

He couldn’t stay by their side at all times. If Li Zhaodi really threatened Xiaoguo and Zhuang Zhuang’s lives, he had to get rid of her.

Jiang Danhe hid the emotions in his eyes and looked at Xiaoguo again. “Then we…”

“Let’s check out the situation first. How about that?”

After much consideration, Xiaoguo decided to clarify things first. As long as she could figure out what Li Zhaodi was up to, she could make preparations in advance.

“How do we find out?” Jiang Danhe suppressed what he was intending to say. Seeing that Xiaoguo had an idea, he asked.

“…” Xiaoguo blinked and said innocently, “I don’t know.”

“…”

She just wanted to find out, but she wasn’t sure about how. After all, only Li Zhaodi knew about this, so she still had to think about it.

After a while, Jiang Danhe sighed and rubbed the top of her head. It would be better for him to do this.

Xiaoguo blushed. After all, she had said that she was going to find out, but there was no plan at all. How embarrassing.

“Where are you going?”

Jiang Danhe looked at Xiaoguo, who was getting up, and was a little confused.

“I’ll get some water!”

Xiaoguo turned to look at Jiang Danhe and asked him to look at the empty glass of water in his hand. She wondered where the water had gone!

Looking at Xiaoguo’s meaningful expression, Jiang Danhe rubbed his nose awkwardly and nodded. “Go ahead…”

In the middle of the night. Jiang Danhe was a light sleeper. When he heard Zhuang Zhuang’s steady breathing, he quietly got out of bed and left the house.

In the afternoon, he went out for a walk and paid special attention to where Li Zhaodi lived. He was planning to come out in the middle of the night to find out more about the situation. The plan was to look for more clues and guess her motive. If he still didn’t know, he could only send her to the afterlife.

With regards to killing, Jiang Danhe used to think a lot about it, and was reticent about doing it. However, ever since he entered the military, he felt that killing was actually the simplest solution.

Besides, his departure was imminent. How could he feel at ease leaving such a scourge like Li Zhaodi behind? Hence, he decided to make things easier.

Jiang Danhe left the house quietly with a sharp dagger at his waist. He comforted the two puppies in the courtyard and looked in the direction of Xiaoguo’s room. When he saw that it was dark, he opened the door and walked towards Li Zhaodi’s house.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, Xiaoguo appeared at the doorway too. She was dressed like Jiang Danhe, in a set of dark-coloured attire.

Xiaoguo opened the front door and stuck her head out. She looked around to make sure it was safe before closing the door and walking out.

Her goal was very clear. She was also headed for Li Zhaodi’s house. The last time she went with Mrs. Yang, it was quite easy. Therefore, she felt that there would be no problem this time. She would go and find out more about the situation first. Once she had a better idea, she would tell Jiang Danhe when she returned, so as to regain her dignity.

The two of them walked towards Li Zhaodi’s house, unaware of each other.

Jiang Danhe arrived first, but before he could reach the house, he quickly hid himself because there seemed to be someone outside Li Zhaodi’s house.

After hiding, Jiang Danhe finally had the chance to look in that direction.

Because it was dark, he couldn’t see very clearly, but he could hear everything.

There was a short man at Li Zhaodi’s door. He first looked around cautiously and knocked when he didn’t see anything unusual.

When Jiang Danhe saw the man looking in his direction, he immediately hid himself and waited for the man to retract his gaze before he looked out again.

The man knocked three times and meowed a few times. Then the door opened from the inside. The man smiled and immediately entered before closing the door.

Jiang Danhe listened attentively. When there was no more movement, he got ready to come out from his hiding place.

But before he could move, he heard a sound behind him and immediately hid again.

After a while, a familiar little figure walked over carefully from behind.

Jiang Danhe almost laughed when he saw this. He knew who this figure was at a glance. This little woman had chosen not to sleep at night, and she actually dared to leave the house and wander around. She was simply too bold!
