She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

Chapter 343

Chen Xiangbei first took a big gulp of pork rib soup, and the steaming hot soup warmed him up immediately.

"Your brother is being targeted; they want to recruit him." Chen Xiangbei glanced around, then leaned closer to Qiao Yi and whispered, "They want him to be involved in gambling."

Seeing Chen Xiangbei's expression, Qiao Yi was startled. She remembered that she hadn't told Chen Xiangbei about her relationship with Qiao Shan before. "How do you know that Qiao Shan is my brother?"

Chen Xiangbei acted as if he had been deeply humiliated. "Sister Qiao, what do you mean? Who are you looking down on? Do you think I wouldn't find out about the connections in your compound? If you're really so wary of me, then you shouldn't have asked me to find out for you. I can even find out about your brother's messy affairs, so what else can't I find out?"

Qiao Yi was immediately convinced by this. Chen Xiangbei was a professional at this; he even knew about such confidential matters. What was there to hide about her relationship with her brother? Seeing that Chen Xiangbei was unhappy, and since Qiao Yi still needed his help, she had no choice but to coax him softly, like coaxing a child. Chen Xiangbei quickly cheered up again.

Do you know how I found out?

Qiao Yi shook her head.

Chen Xiangbei chuckled, "I'm not telling you, that's just how it is."

Qiao Yi panicked when she thought about what her brother had gone through and the trouble it would bring to the family. "What should we do?"

Chen Xiangbei ate another piece of pork rib and mixed the rib soup into his rice. It smelled delicious. When he heard this, he looked up and said, "How would I know? It's because your brother is so strong that someone took a liking to him."

Qiao Yi: "How can you do that? You can't force a cow to drink water. What can you do to force my brother if he really doesn't want to do it?"

Chen Xiangbei: "There are plenty of ways. People like them who are involved in gambling have some dirty deeds to them. It would be easy for them to deal with your family of honest people."

Qiao Yi's face turned pale instantly, and she couldn't eat anymore. She looked like she was about to cry.

Chen Xiangbei had accepted their meal, and seeing her like this, he felt a little embarrassed. "How about I ask around for you and see if there's any way or if I can pull some strings?"

Qiao Yi thanked her gratefully, "Would you like to order more food? You're probably trying to use connections to get money, right?"

Before Chen Xiangbei could even nod, Qiao Yi hurriedly pulled money out of her pocket. "This is almost half a month's salary. Here, take it all. If it's not enough, just tell me and I'll definitely find a way."

After parting ways with Chen Xiangbei, Qiao Yi suddenly slapped her forehead. She'd been so stupid! What if that kid was just fooling her? She should have checked with her brother first. What if it wasn't true at all? Then she'd worked for nothing for the past two weeks!

They even had to pay for their meals out of their own pockets.

Tomorrow is her day off, and Qiao Yi plans to go straight home to ask her brother for clarification. At this moment, she inwardly complains that her brother never tells her anything, forcing her to find out from others.

Although he didn't want to cause himself trouble, they were family, and family matters should be resolved together.

Chen Xiangbei turned left and right and found his second brother, who had slipped away from the hospital early. His second brother was joking around with a woman. Chen Xiangbei recognized the woman; she was the one who had gone into the supply and marketing cooperative with his second brother that day, and then his mother went in afterward.

Chen Xiangnan was called out by this woman today. Anyway, his position in the hospital is a sinecure, and no one usually needs him. So he often goes out to do things for people in various departments, and no one will talk about him when he is not in the hospital.

Just as he was about to ask her where she was going, Chen Xiangbei's squinty eyes shone brightly like flashlights, and Chen Xiangnan's heart skipped a beat.

How come his mother saw him out alone with this woman the first time, and his third brother saw him out with her the second time? Is this woman here to bring him bad luck?

Chen Xiangnan harbored a grudge against this person, always feeling a chill down his spine.

When the other person tried to approach, Chen Xiangnan had to take another step back, then walk around her and head towards Chen Xiangbei. "Third brother, what are you doing here?"

The woman was startled, but upon recognizing someone Chen Xiangnan knew, she calmly greeted him and left. She was only playing around with this man; she didn't want to ruin her reputation. She'd been caught red-handed before, and now she'd been caught again. How could this man have spies everywhere he went? He was so unreliable.

Chen Xiangbei watched the woman's departing figure and said, "Second Brother, still as virile as ever?"

Upon hearing this seemingly complimentary but actually sarcastic remark, Chen Xiangnan impatiently said, "Get lost."

Chen Xiangbei: "Second brother, can you do me a favor? Can you help me think of a way to deal with Qiao Heigou?"

Chen Xiangnan pushed the man away, "Am I your father? I'm always thinking of ways to help you. What does that Qiao Heigou have to do with you? Why are you so concerned about him? Last time you kept bothering me to find out information, and now you want me to help you. You're really dreaming."

Chen Xiangbei: "That Qiao Heigou was targeted by that group of people because of you. I'm helping you atone for your sins, so don't bite the hand that feeds you."

Chen Xiangnan sneered, "Atone? What crime have I committed? He was just unlucky to be targeted. What does it have to do with me?"

Chen Xiangbei: "If you hadn't stopped them at the hospital to help Dr. Tang with that difficult patient, they wouldn't have been targeted. It's your fault."

Chen Xiangnan: "With his appearance, even if I hadn't called him, he would have been targeted sooner or later. How can you blame me?"

Chen Xiangbei couldn't win an argument with his second brother. He was getting tired and wanted to back down, but as soon as he put his hand in his pocket, he felt the money. It was Qiao Yi who had just given it to him, and Chen Xiangbei immediately perked up again.

"Second brother, if you don't help me, I'll tell your wife you're having an affair." After thinking for a moment, Chen Xiangbei resorted to shamelessness. "Dr. Tang didn't give you this position, my good son-in-law, so you could cheat on his daughter. Dr. Tang is an honest man, but he loves your wife. If he knew about this, wouldn't he fight you to the death?"

Chen Xiangnan: ...What has this brat been eating these past two weeks? His brain is working so fast now. If his father-in-law finds out about this, he won't fight to the death, but he doesn't know what he might do. It's a troublesome matter that this brat has found out about. He needs to consider whether he should help him shut him up.

But then I thought, I can't help him. This kid can use this secret many times. Once he does it once, he'll do it countless times. If he keeps using this excuse to threaten me every time, how will he survive? Anyway, he has no evidence. I can just say that he made up a lie to blackmail me.

"I'm not going to help, that's all. If you want to say something, then go ahead and say it." Chen Xiangnan lifted his foot to leave.

Chen Xiangbei shouted from behind him, "Second brother, even if you think I have no evidence, don't be so absolute. As soon as I said that, your sister-in-law will have doubts, and once she has doubts, your life won't be comfortable anymore."

Chen Xiangnan stopped in his tracks. Had this brat really gotten some kind of brilliant mind? He'd actually learned this trick!
