He frowned at Yang Qingheng, his tone unfriendly: "Yang Qingheng, you wouldn't have framed me on purpose, would you?"

Yang Qingheng rolled her eyes at her: "I'd sacrifice my own reputation and risk being fired to frame you? You really know how to flatter yourself."

She couldn't help but feel strange. Besides Li Jiaoyan, a young girl surnamed Li, who else was in the village?

"Let's go to the educated youth settlement." The policemen, being experienced, strode towards the settlement.

Yang Qingheng also realized what was happening and quickly followed, her lips curving upwards almost imperceptibly.

If that's really the case, then that would be interesting.

The group rushed into the educated youth settlement, startling everyone inside. Several educated youth turned pale and instinctively looked at the only familiar face inside.

"Qingheng, what's going on?"

“It’s none of your business,” Yang Qingheng shook her head, pointing to Huo Xiuxiu, who was looking away in the corner. “We’re looking for her.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you want with me?" Huo Xiuxiu stood up, feigning composure.

Yang Qingheng coldly replied, "You know very well why we're looking for you. You framed a public official and slandered my innocence. You want to spend a few more days in jail, don't you?"

Huo Xiuxiu retorted, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

The captain waved his hand and said, "Go back and interrogate them to see if they're safe. Copy them back."

A policeman stepped forward with handcuffs.

Huo Xiuxiu turned pale with fright: "I already said that thing has nothing to do with me. Are you trying to take me back and torture me into confessing? Is there no justice in this world?"

Yang Qingheng seized on her slip of the tongue: "We haven't even said how you framed her, how do you know it was with something? Huh? And you still say it wasn't you!"

"That's true, you have an improper relationship with him, and you won't let me say it." Huo Xiuxiu stopped pretending when she realized she had been exposed.

Someone came over and glanced at the photo; their expression was also very unpleasant.

"So the police can do whatever they want? They dare to arrest people arbitrarily. I think you're all in cahoots!"

The thought that these police officers were lawless and might bully them like they bullied Huo Xiuxiu made everyone unable to sit still, and they all started cursing.

Someone blocked Huo Xiuxiu's way: "If you dare to arrest her today, I will go and report you to the authorities and say that you are bullying the people and acting recklessly."

"Yes, if you dare to arrest people arbitrarily, we'll go and investigate together!"

...

These words put the police officers in a difficult position for a moment. There were four of them, and if the villagers rioted, they would be half-dead or dead.

The captain instinctively looked at Tang Bainian: "Bainian, how about we do it another day..."

Yang Qingheng suddenly stood up and said, "Everyone, please listen to me first. That photo is fake. Officer Tang and I are completely innocent."

"Pah! Your mouth is all stuck together and you still claim to be innocent!" Someone spat, and everyone burst into laughter.

Yang Qingheng frowned: "I can prove it to you!"

He reached out and picked up the camera he had just borrowed from the photo studio, handing it to Tang Bainian: "Thank you for your help."

Tang Bainian nodded.

Yang Qingheng turned to Sun's sister-in-law and waved: "Could you please cooperate with me, sister-in-law?"

Sister-in-law Sun was puzzled, but she still obediently came over.

Yang Qingheng cupped her face and suddenly moved closer.

Sister-in-law Sun had never seen anything like this before. Feeling Yang Qingheng's breath approaching, she was startled and took several steps back, pointing at Yang Qingheng, speechless.

This is so embarrassing!
