Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 704: Chapter 698: Investigating Information from Twenty Years Ago

No matter what, they still had to find someone to finish up the remaining work so they could open their shop.

Thinking of Qin Lei going to find help, Nangong Shu started to sort out the materials.

After Qin Lang arrived at the bureau, he took out his identification, explained his purpose, and was led to the archives room. Computers were not yet widespread, and most of the information was handwritten, so all of the records were kept in a dedicated room.

“Mr. Qin, the information you are looking for is all here. I’m going back to work. Take your time.” The policeman who brought Qin Lang found the information he needed and returned to his work post.

“Alright, thank you.” Qin Lang looked at the documents on the table, feeling somewhat excited inside. He had searched for so long, and the truth was now within his grasp.

“You’re welcome. In a way, we are both in the same situation,” said the office worker with a smile before leaving, making Qin Lang sit there alone to read.

...
If you’re wondering why the office worker was so confident leaving Qin Lang alone in the room with the materials, you’re mistaken. There was a dedicated staff guarding the materials, and someone was watching every move Qin Lang made. It would be impossible for him to tamper with anything, so there was no need to worry about him sitting there looking at the files.

Qin Lang flipped through the files in his hands, but the more he read, the more furrowed his brow became. Why was it different from what he had imagined? Where did the problem lie?

He took out a pen and paper to record the information he needed, feeling confused inside. He needed to go over all the information and ask his second uncle about it when he got home. He had originally planned to ask at home before coming to investigate, but he was afraid that if it weren’t true, it might arouse suspicion from his family, so he came straight here to check.

But this matter is indeed very challenging to investigate. After all, it happened over twenty years ago, and he had spent such a long time searching just to find a little clue. However, now that the clues have been cut off, he feels somewhat uneasy.

But now that he’s come this far, he can’t possibly give up.

After finding the information he needed, Qin Lang expressed his gratitude to the staff and mentioned the security issue before leaving. Meanwhile, Qin Lei continued to hire people to renovate the shop, and they were happy that the troublemakers never returned.

This allowed their shop to proceed normally, and finally, on the day they had set, the construction was completed. Husband and wife looked at their family’s shop and shared a smile.

Now, they could start to plan the next steps, and they needed to start preparing for the opening soon.

After finishing all this, Qin Lang returned to Imperial Capital, so he did not attend Nangong Shulan’s shop opening. He had a question in his heart that he couldn’t resolve, so he wasn’t in the mood to think about other things.

Qin Lei and Nangong Shulan prepared to move the tools into the shop. They had gone to the street more frequently recently, but they didn’t know if it was due to good luck or if it was by some other reason. In any case, they never encountered any village people, which saved them a lot of trouble.

That night, they prepared the materials they would need for the opening the next day at home. They started the dough for the pastries, so the following day they could start making pastries as soon as they arrived at the shop. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to get up early enough to prepare the dough at the store. Of course, there was another option – not going home and staying overnight in the shop, but that wasn’t too feasible, as there were many livestock at home.

If they didn’t return, who would feed the animals? So, they had to come back home at night. Besides, the shop was too narrow to accommodate people to stay overnight.
