Can’t Take My Eyes Off You Chapter 2074

Chapter 2074: We Verified It
“A little bit.” Jiang Yao stretched her hand outward and made a little gesture. She did not think much of it, but her childish gesture amused Lu Xingzhi.
Lu Xingzhi sat back down and peeled an orange for her. He even removed all the piths that she hated. Then, he placed a beautiful slice of orange in her palm. “If you don’t want a heavy meal, maybe you can have some fruits.”Maybe it’s because my body has been weak for the past two days. I have no appetite. I should be fine after resting for two days.” Jiang Yao ate the orange. It was not very sweet, as expected of the fruit in the south in September. One would salivate when they saw the fruit. The orange washed away the taste of milk in her mouth. It made her stomach feel a lot better.Fastest update by ReadNovelFull.com
Jiang Yao did not think that her pregnancy caused her condition. She had been pregnant for three months; she would not still experience those symptoms then.
For someone who had not had an appetite for the whole day, Lu Xingzhi thought that Jiang Yao was better than most people.
If his phone did not ring, Lu Xingzhi would have stared at Jiang Yao from the moment she ate the first piece of orange until the end.
“It’s the army base. I need to answer this,” Lu Xingzhi said. He looked at Jiang Yao before answering the call.
Jiang Yao pursed her lips and smiled. She looked at him casually and did not ask him to give her any explanation. She was not the kind of wife who had to keep an eye on everything.
Shao Fucheng called Lu Xingzhi. He wanted to talk to Lu Xingzhi about Sergeant Hu’s father.
Shao Fucheng said, “Sergeant Hu’s father left the army base this morning. He said that when he called his wife last night, she told him that a relative of theirs had passed away. She asked him to rush back the next morning. We called Sergeant Hu’s hometown to investigate the situation. No one died in his hometown. Sergeant Hu got on the train in the morning, so he should be home by now. However, Sergeant Hu’s mother said that her husband had not returned home, and Sergeant Hu’s mother also confirmed that she did not tell her husband that a relative had passed away in her hometown last night. She only asked how they were doing and ended the call after chatting for a while.
“Can we verify that?”
After all, they were husband and wife. She might be lying.
“We verified it. Sergeant Hu’s family doesn’t have a phone. Like most people in the town, they would pick up and make calls from the public phone at the store. Every night, a lot of people would gather at the store. When Sergeant Hu’s mother picked up the phone last night, many people listened to her conversation. She wasn’t lying.”
Shao Fu Cheng was silent for two seconds after he finished speaking. Then, he said, “So, Sergeant Hu’s father must have done that. He left the army base for no reason and even used the death of a relative as an excuse to leave the army base.”
Lu Xingzhi’s expression darkened. It was apparent that Sergeant Hu’s father had left because he feared the repercussions of his actions.
“Find him! We have to find Sergeant Hu’s father!” Lu Xingzhi said through gritted teeth.
“The chief has already contacted public security. He will ask the various departments to find Sergeant Hu’s father,” Shao Fucheng said. “However, you should use your connections too. Perhaps you can find Sergeant Hu’s father faster than the others..”
