Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 428

Li Chenmo looked at his adopted children and said, "Get these done and go to bed. We’ll continue the review tomorrow."

Dong Li and Dong Huang nodded and said, "Yes, foster father."

After saying that, Li Chenmo left the room and saw his wife about to open the door. He walked over and said, "Wife, I’ll open the door. You go in."

Lu Jueyu thought for a while and nodded. Now that they have an injured person in their house, they can’t be careless. Thinking about the worst possibility, she went to Bajie’s cousin’s room. If someone comes to check on him, she can hide him in her own space.

After confirming that his wife had gone in, Li Chenmo went to open the door. As soon as the door opened, he saw two officers standing outside while wiping their sweat.

An officer saw him and said, "Hello, comrade. Are you Li Chenmo?"

Li Chenmo looked at them, nodded, and asked calmly, "It’s me. May I ask, what is your purpose in looking for me?"

"Comrade Li, we received a report that you and your wife were involved in private transactions. Someone reported that you two were selling food."

After hearing his words, Li Chenmo’s eyes flashed for a moment and then returned to normal. He chuckled and said, "I don’t know who is so boring as to make such a false accusation. My wife and I are both upright citizens. We never break any rules and work hard to contribute to the country."

The two officers looked at each other and saw the confusion in their eyes. Judging from the man’s calm demeanor, the report appears to be a false accusation. But many experienced criminals appear to be good citizens. So, they could not believe his word until they were sure it was a false accusation.

"Can we go in and have a look?" another officer asked.

"Of course. Please come in." Li Chenmo said, walking aside to let them in.

After closing the door, Li Chenmo led them into the house. The officers were shocked when they saw the lush vegetables in the yard.

As soon as they entered the house, Lu Jueyu heard their voices. She quickly brought Bajie’s cousin into her own space, and then walked to the living room as if nothing happened.

Li Chenmo saw her coming, walked up to her and said, "Wife, these comrades came to investigate us because someone reported that we were involved in private transactions."

Lu Jueyu was stunned when she heard her husband’s words. She looked at the officers and said in surprise, "Comrades, is there any misunderstanding? My husband and I never sell or buy anything privately. If we need to buy something, we buy it from state-owned stores. I don’t know who is so vicious to slander us."

Both officers observed her and Li Chenmo carefully and found that their shocked and worried expressions were so real that they could not be fake.

After a while, an officer asked, "Comrade, can we check your house?"

Lu Jueyu nodded and agreed readily, "Of course. We have nothing to hide, so please feel free to check."
