Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

The investigation results came quickly, beyond everyone's imagination.

At the end of February, as Xibao was about to start school, Feng Qingxue was organizing bedding and luggage for him and Lu Tianzhi when Lu Jiang received a call from Huo Beiting.

"The person you asked me to investigate is really full of wicked intentions, wicked beyond words." Huo Beiting's first words were these.

Lu Jiang was stunned and quickly asked for details.

They thought Xu Lei was already quite ungrateful, but according to Huo Beiting, Xu Lei seemed even worse than they knew.

Indeed, Huo Beiting continued, "He's not actually in the Northwest region, but in Chang'an. Conditions there are much better than here. Fortunately, one of my old subordinates transferred over there and quickly found out. Over ten years ago, a local authority's daughter took a fancy to him, so Xu Lei divorced his wife and became a son-in-law, and then rose step by step. Their two sons carry the surname Chen, while their daughter has the surname Xu, that's Xu Jingying. Now with reorganization happening, his wife's family has lost power, and somehow they relocated to the Southeast Region at the end of last year."

Lu Jiang frowned deeply, "A decade ago Xu Lei was already around forty, someone fancied him?"

Huo Beiting chuckled, "Don't underestimate him. I heard from my old subordinate that Xu Lei in his thirties and forties was quite refined and elegant, very charismatic."

Lu Jiang acknowledged with a "Hmm," "Go on."

"There's not much else to say. During his decade in power Xu Lei persecuted people like his parents quite a lot, and even twenty years ago he unilaterally cut off relations with his parents. Otherwise, why do you think his parents had no impact on him?" Updates are released by NoveI-Fire.ɴet

Lu Jiang was shocked, "What? And yet he shamelessly received food and supplies sent to him by Uncle and Aunt Xu, how does he have the nerve?"

This matter was indeed beyond their expectations.

Huo Beiting shrugged, "He's long been shameless. You know, he went to his parents for gold and jewelry. I had someone look into it. This guy has already resigned, disappeared with his daughter, and I suspect, his in-laws and wife and sons moved ahead first, he and his daughter followed behind, planning to go to his parents for gold and jewelry and then all escape to the Southeast Region, where it's easy to smuggle into Hong Kong. Why? Obviously, they're afraid of retaliation; the pair of father-in-law and son-in-law have harmed a lot of people. It's said, back then, the Chen elder took advantage of the chaos and amassed quite a bit of gold; otherwise, how could an eighth-generation poor farmer have the means to live in Hong Kong?"

Lu Jiang's face showed a somber expression, "How can national assets be allowed to flow out? Even if it's not national, it should be returned to the rightful owner. Tell me the names and age characteristics of the Chen family, I'll call the Southeast Military Region."

"That would be great; I heard in Chang'an City their former unit is actively searching for them. People have been sent to the Southeast Region to recover the gold and jewelry Chen Aiguo amassed through power abuse, but unfortunately, they haven't found the Chen family."

Huo Beiting's investigation of Xu Lei also helped his old subordinate a bit because they were looking for Xu Lei to get clues to find Chen Aiguo.

Now, you could say Xu Lei has delivered himself to them.

Lu Jiang said in a deep voice, "I'll immediately notify the Southeast Military Region to be on alert and call Anbang to capture Xu Lei, not to let him escape. He hasn't gotten the gold and jewelry, nor the old house and state compensation money, and is still in Huaibei City."
