1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 1497 Discovering Suspicious People

After attending his sister-in-law's wedding, the couple returned to his parents' home from the state-run restaurant and stayed there for a short while before packing their things to return to their unit.

After boarding the bus, Chu Xue casually asked Fu Yancheng, "Yancheng, are there any stonemasons near our residential compound?"

Although Fu Yancheng was somewhat puzzled, he still asked with a doting expression, "What do you need a stonemason for?"

Chu Xue looked out the window: "It looks like it's going to snow soon, and my belly is getting bigger and bigger so I can't go out anymore. I was thinking of making some soy milk at home and cooking it myself."

As she spoke, she gestured to Fu Yancheng: "It doesn't need to be too big, this size is fine."

Fu Yancheng laughed: "Okay, leave this to me. I'll help you out and you can also try making your own soy milk."

The bus had traveled halfway when it stopped to let passengers on and off.

It wasn't a big deal, but when the woman who came up walked away, Chuxue smelled a faint scent of blood, which made her very uncomfortable.

She couldn't help but frown.

Fu Yancheng noticed something was wrong with her: "Wife, what's wrong?"

Chu Xue was about to shake her head and say "it's nothing" when the woman happened to pass by her. Because of the angle from which she was sitting, she could see the strange shape inside the raised hem of her dress.

Subconsciously, I released my mental energy and looked over.

After the woman sat down, Chu Xue confirmed her guess. She gestured for Fu Yancheng to come closer and mouthed to her that there was danger.

Fu Yancheng knew that his wife never lied, so his expression immediately became serious.

After gesturing to Fu Yancheng, she kept a close eye on the woman's every move, but the woman didn't make a move even as they approached the finish line, which puzzled her greatly.

Finally, at the crossroads about two or three miles from the army base, the woman stood up.

Chu Xue reached out and grabbed Fu Yancheng, reminding him that the woman was making a move. But the woman still didn't make a sound, and the couple watched helplessly as she got out of the car.

Chu Xue knew that the woman was definitely suspicious.

At first, when she smelled blood on her, she thought it might be because it was a woman's period and her sense of smell was sensitive, so it was normal for her to be able to smell blood. But to be on the safe side, she had checked before and the woman was not menstruating.

Just as she was thinking about what to do next, she noticed a faint bloodstain where she got off the bus. Although it was only a small spot, it was clear that it was from the middle of the shoe.

It must have been caused by the force used when getting on the bus; you probably wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely.

Chu Xue gestured to Fu Yancheng to look in that direction.

Fu Yancheng, however, didn't understand and moved closer to Chu Xue: "What did you discover?"

Chu Xue noticed that the seat behind her was empty, so she whispered, "There's a faint bloodstain by the car door. It's just a little bit, but I'm sure it's from the middle of a shoe."

Fu Yancheng wanted to go with her, but he was worried about Chuxue: "I'll take you back first, and then I'll bring some people over to check on her."

Chu Xue whispered, "I'll go with you."

Fu Yancheng said seriously, "No, it's too dangerous for you with your big belly. Don't worry, that woman just got off the car and won't go far for a while. I'll bring more people with me."

Chu Xue had no choice but to give up: "Alright then, I'll go back by myself after I get off the bus. You can go do your thing, just be careful."

Fu Yancheng didn't refuse again: "Okay."

After the bus arrived at the station, Fu Yancheng watched Chu Xue enter the family compound before running towards the military base.
