Chapter 116

Hearing the security guard’s words, Han An felt somewhat annoyed.

“Thank you, sorry to bother you.”

After saying that, Han An walked out of the security room.

Since the private car was parked in the underground parking lot, Han An walked towards his apartment building.

He planned to take the elevator to the basement level and then drive away from the community.

After walking a few steps, Han An took out his phone and called his cousin Han Sheng.

After the call connected, Han An asked, “Cousin, are you busy?”

“Is there something you need?”

“I just want to ask you something,” Han An said, “In residential areas like Luohu District, how long do you require surveillance cameras to be kept?”

“There is no hard and fast rule, but it is generally required to be more than half a month.”

“So short?”

“24-hour video recording consumes a lot of hard drive space, especially for communities with dozens or even hundreds of cameras.”

Upon hearing his cousin’s words, Han An knew that the security guard was not lying.

This means that he can no longer find the man through surveillance.

Han An was particularly unhappy with this conclusion.

After letting out a soft sigh, Han An said, “Cousin, there’s a favor I hope you can do for me.”

“Speak.”

“Someone is arriving in Shenzhen today, and I would like you to help me find out which hotel he is staying at, preferably with the room number as well.”

“Is he involved with Xiaojing?”

“It’s hard to say.”

“I’ll help you with anything that involves Xiaojing, after all, we’re like brothers. But let me make this clear from the start: don’t tell anyone that I’m helping you, and don’t show anyone the information I sent you. Like the check-in record I gave you, you’d better delete it after you’ve looked at it.”

“I understand.”

“Tell me the other person’s information, preferably their name and registered address, or their phone number will also work. Of course, if you can provide their ID number directly, it will be much easier for me to check.”

“Only a name and phone number.”

“That’s enough.”

“He will arrive in Shenzhen today, but it’s unclear when exactly.”

“If I can check hotel check-in records, why can’t I check travel records?”

Hearing his cousin’s words, Han An couldn’t help but laugh.

After laughing, Han An said, “Then I’ll send you his information now. Let me know when he’s booked the hotel.”

“Okay, remember not to tell anyone that I helped you.”

“I also hope that you, cousin, will not tell anyone anything related to my wife.”

“Don’t worry, it won’t happen.”

“Then you go ahead and do your work, that’s all for now.”

“Um.”

After hanging up, Han An sent Li Fulong’s name and phone number to his cousin.

After sending the message, Han An wanted to go into the apartment building, but saw his mother walking towards him.

When did you get back?

“last night.”

“I’m about to go grocery shopping.”

“Then go buy groceries.”

“I was planning to talk to you about Xiaojing later, but since we’ve run into each other, let’s talk about it now,” Zhang Chunhua said as she walked up to Han An. “You know, ever since you two met, I’ve been very dissatisfied with her. It’s not that I’m prejudiced, it’s just that I really look down on Xiaojing’s previous profession. You kept saying that I was overthinking things, and that Xiaojing was a very good girl, but what happened? Just thinking about how I opened that package for you and saw what was inside makes me feel suffocated. What did our Han family do to deserve such a shameless woman?”

“Mom, I’m still investigating this matter. Just wait for the results.”

“Investigate? You think you’re a cop like your cousin?!”

“I’ll handle this.”

“I really think you’re spineless,” Zhang Chunhua said. “I admit Xiaojing is very pretty, but the prettier a woman is, the more people will covet her. Add to that that package, isn’t it obvious that Xiaojing is a shameless woman? Putting aside the few hairs, just look at those underwear—it’s definitely Xiaojing’s. It’s stained with semen and has the words ‘slut’ written on it. Just thinking about it gives me the creeps. Son, did you even talk to Xiaojing about the package?”

“Mom, I’m not a child anymore. Can’t I handle this myself?”

“In my eyes, you’ve always been a child.”

“Whatever, I’ll handle this myself.”

“There are so many women in the world, can’t you find someone else?” Zhang Chunhua said. “Take that girlfriend you used to date, for example, I was very satisfied with her. Why don’t you contact her and see if she’s married or not? If she’s not, then divorce Xiaojing and marry her.”

“I won’t divorce her until the truth comes out,” Han An said. “My investigation is almost complete, Mom, just wait a little longer. Anyway, I’ll tell you as soon as I find out the results. If she really has another man outside, I’ll divorce her immediately. As for who I marry, that’s up to you, Mom.”

“If you don’t divorce her soon, I’ll go to your place and cause trouble.”

“You think it’s something to be proud of, being laughed at by your neighbors?”

“That’s better than them finding out one day that you’ve been cheated on!”

“I don’t want to say anything more,” Han An said, still angry. “I’m going back now.”

“What sins has our Han family committed?!”

Han An didn’t want to talk to his mother anymore, so he immediately headed towards the apartment building.

As for his mother, she seemed both angry and aggrieved.

As Han An walked into the first floor, he realized there was something very important he hadn’t done: he hadn’t checked the call details he’d downloaded the night before.

With that in mind, Han An took the elevator upstairs.

When Han An arrived at his doorstep, he knocked on the door.

After a full half minute, seeing that his wife hadn’t opened the door, Han An knocked again.

As a result, no one came to open the door.

Thinking that his wife might be in the bathroom, Han An had no choice but to take out his key and open the door.

To Han An’s surprise, his wife was not at home.

Seeing that the pair of black high heels were not on the shoe rack, Han An knew that his wife had gone out.

As for why they didn’t run into each other, Han An wasn’t surprised.

After all, this building has three elevators.

Thinking about his wife’s interview at a travel agency today, Han An couldn’t help but frown.

He always felt that if his wife wasn’t going to a job interview, then where could she have gone?

It’s probably impossible for me to meet Li Fulong ahead of time, right?

Han An wasn’t worried about that, because his cousin would tell him which hotel Li Fulong was staying at as soon as possible.

As for where his wife was now, Han An didn’t care because he had no clue.

In short, Han An only hopes to catch his wife cheating successfully tomorrow!

After thinking it over, Han An walked towards the master bedroom.

Han An turned on his laptop, pressed the power button, and then went to pour himself a glass of warm water.

Thinking about the pressure his mother put on him, Han An felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

Sitting in front of his laptop, Han An directly opened the folder containing the Excel document.

He then checked his wife’s call details while drinking warm water.

For Han An, what he cared about most was the phone records of his wife in the days before and after she went to Lijiang, so he prioritized checking the phone records during that period.

His wife is not the kind of woman who likes to socialize. In addition, she has been a housewife for three years, so very few people will take the initiative to contact her. Naturally, very few people will take the initiative to contact her.

In Han An’s memory, his wife was closest to Xu Xiaoru.

We would occasionally visit each other, and sometimes go shopping together.

Before Han An knew that Xu Xiaoru was a cheating slut, he actually had a pretty good impression of her.

Now, Han An thinks that Xu Xiaoru may have instilled in his wife the idea that cheating is wonderful, which is why his wife cheated on him.

Because he had hinted to Zhou Tao that Xu Xiaoru was having an affair with her boss, and because they hadn’t been in contact since they ate firewood chicken together last time, Han An wanted to take some time to call Zhou Tao and ask what the current situation was.

Regardless, Han An hopes that Zhou Tao can divorce Xu Xiaoru.

Otherwise, Zhou Tao’s green hat will just stay green forever.

After reviewing the call details for October, Han An was quite disappointed.

Aside from his call records with Li Fulong, the only landline number from Lijiang was actually from Huazhu Inn!

It seems that his wife had been worried about her affair being exposed for a long time, so she only used WeChat or QQ to keep in touch with her lover.

Han An was quite disappointed by this conclusion.

After taking a sip of warm water, Han An continued looking at the other Excel documents.

When he saw a phone call coming in at 10 a.m. on August 6, Han An seemed a little excited.

His wife went out to buy soy sauce at 10:30 a.m. that day. Could the man he wants to find be the owner of this number?

After having this thought, Han An immediately entered the number into his phone’s contacts.

After reviewing all the Excel files, Han An realized that only the phone numbers he had written down were the most suspicious.

Han An wanted to call directly, but felt it wasn’t a safe bet.

Rather than alerting the enemy, it would be better to have his cousin check the owner’s information first.

After thinking it over, Han An called his cousin.

“Cousin, has Li Fulong come to Shenzhen yet?”

“He won’t arrive in Shenzhen until 3 PM, and that’s when he’ll go to the hotel,” Han Sheng said on the other end of the phone. “Once he’s registered, I’ll be able to find out the relevant information, and I’ll tell you then.”

“I’ll give you a phone number; can you help me check the owner’s information?”

“Hey you, are you treating me like directory assistance?”

“The owner’s information is very important to me.”

“I hope what you’re saying is true,” Han Sheng said. “If it’s not important, then don’t bother me at all. I’m doing this to help you at the risk of being demoted or even dismissed.”

“From now on, cousin, you can have your meals for free when you come to the store.”

“Okay, I’ll bring dozens of colleagues over tonight.”

“Hey cousin,” Han An said with a laugh, “if you’re going to scam someone, you should scam an outsider, not your own people, right?”

“I’m just kidding, hurry up and send me your phone number!”

I’ll send it to you now.

After hanging up, Han An sent the suspicious phone number to his cousin.

About five minutes later, Han An received a WeChat message from his cousin.
