Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife

Pan Chimu was closer to Pan Meijia since they were young, so he knew some things that their eldest brother was unaware of.

Noticing his hesitation, Pan Chiyan frowned and said, "Speak if you have something to say."

"Brother, before I tell you, you have to promise me that you won't get angry," Pan Chimu said.

The moment he heard this, Pan Chiyan frowned deeper and stared at him. Under his stare, he saw that his second brother was getting uncomfortable, but he still refused to say a word.

Since he wouldn't tell him unless he promised, he nodded and said, "Okay."

Only after getting his brother's promise did Pan Chimu say, "Actually, our brother-in-law has a channel to buy grains. It's just that this channel has something to do with the other side."

The moment he said these words, the room fell silent. He looked at his brother and noticed his darkened face. It seemed that his brother was really angry.

He didn't plan to spill the beans, but he couldn't watch his brother in trouble and did nothing to help when he had the solution. Now that his eldest brother was angry, would his sister and his brother-in-law blame him?

While he was thinking about the consequences of spilling the secret, Pan Chiyan asked through gritted teeth, "You mean that Li Lingyun has a relationship with the gang?"

"He has a wide range of connections. He is not in the gang but has a friend in the gang," Pan Chimu replied cautiously.

"How did you know?" Pan Chiyan asked.

"Jiajia told me before when I asked where she got so much meat and grain to send to my barracks."

"Jiajia sent you food?" Pan Chiyan asked again with raised eyebrows.

Pan Chimu nodded and replied, "She sends me food once every month."

"Why didn't she send me any?" Pan Chiyan asked unhappily.

When Houzi heard this, he let out a sigh and shook his head. These two brothers' focus was no longer on the matter of Li Lingyun having a connection with the gang, but on why their sister only sent food to one of them.

Pan Chimu also didn't know why his sister only sent food to him and not to their eldest brother. So, he scratched his nose and said, "Maybe because you can eat at our parents' place while I can't?"

With these words, Pan Chiyan felt better in his heart. It was indeed as his second brother said.

Every time their parents received things from their sister, their mother would give half to him. It should be counted as his sister caring more about him and giving him more things.

After soothing himself, he finally said, "Since Jiajia decided not to tell me about her husband's matters, then you don't have to let her know that I am aware of this. I don't want her to worry about unnecessary things."

Pan Chimu nodded and asked, "But, Brother, what should we do about your task?"

"I will contact our brother-in-law personally," he said.

"Since you have made up your mind, I won't get involved in your matter. I have to send these documents to General Xiao. Let's chat another time," Houzi said and stood up.

The three of them came out of the study room one after another. Seeing the documents in his hand, Mother Pan said, "Xirui, it seems that your adopted son has things to do."

Zhao Xirui also noticed the documents and said, "Then, let's chat another time."

"Okay," Mother Pan agreed and sent them off.

After they left, she didn't ask her sons about what they were discussing with her nephew and said, "Mother made some mung bean soup in the kitchen. Go get some for yourselves."

"Thank you, Mother," the two brothers said before they went to get a bowl for themselves.

As for Bai Xue'er and her son, they had already eaten and were napping in Pan Meijia's room.

While they were enjoying their afternoon snacks, Houzi had already returned to his residence in the capital after he sent Mother Xiao back to the Xiao manor.

This house had been prepared by his supervisor and was listed under his name. Even his household registration appeared in the government's database. With all these details in place, no one would be able to uncover his true identity.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xiao Feng sitting in the living room, reading a document. Upon seeing him, Houzi closed the door and walked over.

Placing the documents on the table, he casually asked, "Adoptive father, it's rare for you to visit me. What brings you here today?"

Xiao Feng put down the document in his hand and asked in return, "Have you delivered the list to Pan Chiyan?"

Houzi nodded and replied, "Thanks to my adoptive mother's help, I was able to meet him today. These are the information and evidence he gave me."

Hearing this, Xiao Feng opened the envelope and read through the contents. The more he read, the colder his expression became.

When he finished, he slammed the documents onto the table and said, "That bastard! I knew he was greedy and selfish, but I never expected him to stoop this low."

After saying this, Houzi looked at him and asked, "General, what do you plan to do next? If we submit this evidence, the old general might intervene."

Xiao Feng understood his subordinate's meaning. With his father's pride, he would never allow the family's dirty secrets to become public.

If his father discovered that he was the one who submitted the evidence and exposed his second brother's crimes, he would likely force him to admit to slandering his own kin instead.

With his father's personality, he wouldn't care about his sons at all. All he cared about was his reputation and the family's interests.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Feng said, "Send these documents to our people and let them handle it. There is no need to take them all down at once. Start with the weakest link."

"The most painful thing for Xiao Jun won't be death or imprisonment. It will be watching everything he owns stripped away, piece by piece. I want him to feel that despair before sending him to prison," he added with a cold smile.
