Chapter 207 The money was sent to White Dove
Liu Lihua is far away in Zhejiang Province, so there's not much she can do.
But it's easy to just have a family member check the pigeons.
Liu Lihua has not yet associated white doves with birth control pills.
However, her classmates did find out that she wasn't the one who did it, so Wu Xingbang, her former boyfriend, naturally became the prime suspect.
News from Anshi didn't arrive so quickly, and Ye Nuan, like Liu Lihua, both pointed their suspicions at Bai Ge.
Liu Lihua was investigating Bai Ge. Ye Ming had originally thought of asking his older brothers to help investigate as well, but then he felt there was no need to rush. With the Liu family's capabilities, it shouldn't be difficult to find out the truth.
Sure enough, after about ten days, Liu Lihua received some evidence sent by her family.
Why would we need to find a white dove to decipher the handwriting again?
The Liu family could easily obtain some of Bai Ge's handwriting from her previous salary withdrawals or her student days. Some of the handwriting was similar, but it couldn't be determined that it was written by the same person. It's estimated that she paid special attention to the handwriting when writing the package slips.
Not only that, the Liu family also discovered that Wu Xingbang had sent Bai Ge a lot of things, and even a lot of money!
If the Liu family makes a move, then they will definitely investigate thoroughly.
Over the course of several years, Wu Xingbang sent Bai Ge a total of several hundred yuan, but the receipts could not be verified.
In addition, Wu Xingbang also sent some things to Bai Ge, such as some local specialties from Zhejiang Province.
Perhaps due to work reasons, Wu Xingbang didn't send many things; he mainly sent money.
Wu Xingbang and Bai Ge had a private relationship and exchanged many letters.
However, after that incident, Bai Ge burned all the letters related to Wu Xingbang.
As for the remittance slips, she disposed of them all, of course.
When her husband, Khalil Fong, got into trouble, she naturally took all the valuables from the house and abandoned her three children.
Even so, she still managed to get a lot of benefits from Fang Datong by using the baby in her belly.
Fang Datong was sentenced to a heavy sentence. He was already biased towards boys, and when he learned that Bai Ge was pregnant and that it was a boy, he naturally paid more attention to her.
Bai Ge is having a tough time right now. Although she has found a powerful backer, it's not someone she can openly acknowledge.
So now Bai Ge is living alone with a child, and she is constantly facing troubles.
The Liu family soon came knocking on their door.
Over the course of several years, Liu Lihua received remittances from Wu Xingbang totaling over 500 yuan, which was a huge sum of money.
Wu Xingbang was training in the military camp, but for some reason, his eyelids kept twitching, and he felt that something big was about to happen.
He always trusted his intuition, so he made an excuse to go back first. But he became more and more worried, so he called his hometown first.
It was only after making the phone call that I learned that Bai Ge had gotten into trouble.
Wu Zhaodi also mentioned that Liu Lihua had called her earlier, and asked when he would transfer the money.
Wu Xingbang suddenly felt his hands and feet turn ice cold. He knew that his affair with Bai Ge had probably been exposed.
The Liu family wields considerable influence in Anshi. Even if he were in Anshi, let alone not being there, he would have no chance against the Liu family.
The only solution now is to find a way to clear myself of any wrongdoing.
Wu Xingbang hurriedly asked for leave and went to the post office, making several phone calls before he felt relieved.
Wu Xingbang already knew that Bai Ge had been arrested, but so far no one had said what the charge was. Wu Xingbang was initially hesitant about whether to abandon Bai Ge, but when the person he asked told him that Bai Ge was being protected by someone in secret, he knew that Bai Ge must have other connections in Anshi.
Since that's the case, then he doesn't need to worry.
Wu Xingbang returned home as if nothing had happened, and then, as usual, showed concern for Liu Lihua.
Actually, he hadn't been back for a week because of training.
On his way back, Wu Xingbang realized that there might be a tough battle to fight today. He had to be on his toes and not let Liu Lihua find any fault with him, otherwise his future would be ruined.
The fact that the Liu family could extend their influence into the family compound and arrange a job for Liu Lihua here demonstrates the extent of their connections. Therefore, he cannot afford to lose Liu Lihua as an asset.
"Brother Xingbang, did you forget that your older sister called earlier and urged you to send money back home?"
Liu Lihua asked the question as her mother had instructed, wanting to see how Wu Xingbang would react.
"Huh? How could that be? I already sent it!"
Liu Lihua's heart skipped a beat; this man had indeed lied to her.
"Really? But my older sister said you haven't sent any money for two months."
"Impossible! The money has never stopped flowing. Did Baige not send the money to my mother?"
Hearing him utter the words "white dove," Liu Lihua felt a complex mix of emotions.
She was originally thinking about how to ask him tactfully, but he just said it directly.
"What white dove?"
"Oh, you know my family situation. There were no stable jobs in the family before, and my mother is illiterate. My eldest sister is married, so it's not good to let her get involved in many things, for fear that her in-laws will interfere. So I often send money to Baige, and sometimes I will write my father's or my brother's name directly on the envelope."
Bai Ge used to borrow money from me a few times because her family was poor and she was my childhood neighbor. Later, my mother and her family would often ask Bai Ge for help when they bought things, so I would often give Bai Ge money directly.
By the way, Bai Ge's husband works at a food factory, so he often asks her to buy things for him—it's cheap and he doesn't need coupons. But I haven't received a letter from Bai Ge in the past few months. Could something have happened to her family?
Liu Lihua was stunned for a moment; this was an outcome she hadn't expected.
She originally thought that Wu Xingbang and Bai Ge had a falling out, which was why he often sent money to Bai Ge.
But I never expected the answer to be like this.
Now that things have turned out this way, she doesn't know what to say next.
"It seems that something happened to Baige's man. I heard it from my older sister."
“I don’t know either. But we need to clarify the money issue. Actually, I don’t know the specifics. Sometimes Baige will call me directly to tell me what the family bought. It’s inconvenient for my mom to answer the phone, so sometimes I will confirm with my older sister. But after a while, we are all neighbors, and Baige is a good person, so I stopped calling.”
This whole explanation seems to make a pretty smooth logical flow.
Everything was perfectly logical and reasonable.
Liu Lihua did believe it, after all, for a man to speak so frankly about another woman must prove that their relationship was aboveboard.
