Chapter 227 Mysterious Man
"Is there no one in this group who is even slightly closer to Lao He?"
Shen Dinghai was anxious and worried, and his stomach was rumbling. He was very discouraged about the workers who were coming over.
He thought that he would not be able to get any useful information in the morning.
I didn't expect that he would say something shocking the next second.
"He has a wife?! You said Lao He has a wife?!" Shen Dinghai's eyes were as big as copper bells.
"A man like him actually has a wife?! This is unscientific!"
The worker who was summoned snorted disdainfully, "You noble gentlemen have such interesting ideas. Poor people are not worthy of getting married and having children, right?"
"Except for being a little poor, Lao He has very good conditions in every aspect! You can even say he is excellent! He is down-to-earth and hardworking, has a handsome appearance, is tall, and has a very good personality!"
"Which one?"
"In the language of you young people, it's called warm oil."
"You mean gentle?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Gentle!"
Shen Dinghai smiled apologetically, "Uncle, you misunderstood me. I just think Uncle He is a loner. I can't imagine him having a wife. It's not that I think Uncle He is a bad person."
He spoke with some embarrassment, but couldn't help muttering to himself.
[Did this Lao He get some kind of male heartthrob script? Why do all the men who know him praise him? 】
The worker snorted again, "You can't find out about Lao He's wife, so you think he's a bachelor, but in fact it's because Lao He treasures his wife so much that he hides her like a treasure that he doesn't want others to see."
The worker raised his eyebrows. "But this makes perfect sense. Lao He's wife is indeed very pretty. I also saw her by accident once."
"You should know where Lao He's house is, right? It's very far from us, and usually no one goes there."
"It was the time when I went there accidentally, and I happened to see Lao He supporting a woman walking into his small house, but they were too far away, so I couldn't see their faces clearly..."
"You said she was beautiful without even seeing her face?"
"Lao He's wife is so fair! As the old saying goes, a fair complexion hides a hundred blemishes. Her skin is as white as snow and shines brightly under the sunlight!"
Shen Dinghai said awkwardly, "Is it really that exaggerated? You made me look like Snow White."
"That's right! Lao He doesn't want his wife to be exposed to the sun, so he holds an umbrella in his hand to protect her from the sun!"
"Let me make it clear first, I only came closer to take a look out of curiosity. I'm not some perverted voyeur!"
……
Shen Dinghai shrugged, "Of course you are right."
Even so, the worker's face turned red, and a faint red color appeared under his tanned skin.
"Hey, if I hadn't taken that peek, you would never have known the news!"
The worker looked around at everyone mysteriously before lowering his voice.
"Lao He's wife is pregnant!"
Shen Dinghai and Ran Ran looked at each other.
"Well, there's even more explosive news than Lao He having a wife."
The excited expression on the worker's face seemed as if he was not sharing gossip, but sharing the news of a huge treasure.
"I glanced out the window and saw Lao He's wife sitting on the bed with her belly protruding and round!"
"When did you find out?"
"It wasn't long ago, just the beginning of this month. After all, Lao He hasn't been working at the construction site for long. I have to find out everything..." The worker paused as if he had bitten his tongue.
"Find out what?"
Facing Shen Dinghai's somewhat threatening eyes, the worker turned to Ning Wu and said awkwardly: "Supervisor, do I really have to say this? This has nothing to do with Lao He and the case!"
Before Ning Wu expressed his opinion, Ran Ran spoke first.
"Go ahead, we won't blame you for anything harmless."
After getting Ran Ran's assurance, the worker finally told the truth. "I am naturally curious and I love to explore strange things by myself. Old He is so unsociable. In my eyes, he is so attractive!"
"Except for that time when he had a conflict with workers from another group, I have never seen him interact with anyone else, except the team leader."
Ran Ran's eyes narrowed, "Has Lao He looked for Sun Zhiqiang?"
"No, it was Team Leader Sun who went to the tin house to look for Lao He several times. It should be because of work."
"Anyway, Lao He is so attractive to me from head to toe."
Shen Dinghai inevitably showed his disdain, "So you just peeked at others?"
"I've already said it! I'm not peeping! I'm just a little curious about what kind of person Lao He is."
"So what kind of person do you think Lao He is?"
"I don't know..." The worker pondered for a while, and seemed to rack his brains to come up with four words to describe it.
"We are what we appear to be."
"Huh? What kind of description is that?"
"That's how Lao He is in private. He is the same as he is in front of others. He doesn't speak when there are people around, and he doesn't speak when he is alone."
"So even though I've seen him in private, I still don't know what kind of person Lao He is."
"This is actually rare. Most people are not the same in public or behind other people's backs."
"Some people are lively in front of others, but feel lonely when alone; others are the opposite."
Shen Dinghai pondered, "Why does it feel like in everyone's description, Lao He has become more and more mysterious?"
The worker said helplessly: "He is mysterious... He is a mysterious man."
"That's enough. Say less things that will make me think you're a pervert, okay?" Shen Dinghai rubbed the goose bumps on his arms.
Ran Ran kept recalling what the workers said and came to a conclusion.
"We need to know more about Lao He's wife. Lao He has been missing for so long. Didn't his wife feel something was wrong?"
"If we can find Lao He's wife..."
Ranran looked at the worker for help, but the worker's face was full of disbelief.
"Lao He is missing?!"
All these people were confused.
"He's been missing for several days, how could you not know? Don't you like to follow Lao He's updates?"
"Yeah..." the worker murmured, "but recently there hasn't been any... The team leader has secured overtime allowances for everyone in the team, and everyone is working their butts off..."
Shen Dinghai opened his eyes wide, "So workers also get overtime subsidies?"
Ran Ran didn't have the energy to care about this inappropriate complaint, and just stared at the worker, "Don't you work together in the same group? Why didn't you know that Lao He hadn't worked for several days?"
The worker was frightened by Ran Ran's eyes and stammered, "We are a large surveying team. We need to measure data in different areas. It's up to the team leader to decide who gets more work or who gets less work..."
"Team leader, Sun Zhiqiang?" Ran Ran's eager gaze never left the workers.
"Yes, it's Team Leader Sun."
Ranran finally withdrew her gaze after getting the answer, and she seemed to have let out a breath of foul air.
Ranran was not willing to think the worst of people. Sun Zhiqiang had not shown any bad behavior so far, but a lot of evidence had emerged that objectively showed that Sun Zhiqiang could manipulate the time of Lao He's disappearance.
When Lao He disappears, he can blur the time by assigning work so that other workers cannot see him.
It is even possible... that this curious and peeping worker was also within his consideration, otherwise the sudden overtime pay would be just a coincidence.
She doesn't believe it.
"Then one last question."
"What is the relationship between Sun Zhiqiang and He Qinggui?"
