Chapter Twenty-Six: High School Female Teachers in the 1980s

When Li Shaojie arrogantly shouted at Xu Keke, "Du Wenting, even if you kneel down and beg me today, I won't say a good word for Du Junsheng. A woman like you deserves to have nothing, and your whole family deserves what you have today."

Xu Keke remained silent, her face grim. Du Junsheng was in trouble; a chill ran through her. She stepped out of the courtyard, briefly greeted the Fan family, and hurried outside. Hearing the sounds behind her, she turned and saw Fang San following closely behind; she had almost forgotten he was still there.

"Third Brother, can you take me to the dormitory at the affiliated hospital?"

Fang San patted her shoulder, "It's okay, don't panic."

How could she not panic? She was no longer simply doing this to complete a task. Through their interactions these past few days, she had genuinely come to respect Du Junsheng. She respected his character, his medical ethics, and his passion for his profession. She couldn't bear to see such a person defeated by these malicious individuals.

"What are you doing here so late?" Even though Lin Munan didn't show it on his face, Xu Keke could still sense that Lin Munan was different from usual when they were so close. Today, she seemed somewhat worried.

"My dad had an accident, why didn't you tell me?" Xu Keke didn't want to beat around the bush, so she could only pretend that she already knew the whole story in order to trick Lin Munan.

Lin Munan sighed. She took off her glasses and gently wiped the lenses with a glasses cloth. Then she put her glasses back on and said to Xu Keke,

“My dear child, when your father came back and was packing his things, he specifically told me not to tell you about his isolation and investigation. He was afraid you would go to Li Shaojie. Your father meant that he didn’t want you to confront him, and he didn’t want to see you begging him. Your father hopes that from now on, except for the divorce proceedings, you will not have any contact with anyone from the Li family.”

Sure enough, Xu Keke rubbed her right thumb hard against her middle finger. There was a callus there, left by Du Wenting's years of writing. "They said he made some mistake?"

Du Jun, fearing Lin Munan would be upset if she overheard this, did tell her. It was nothing more than about accepting bribes and having illicit relationships. Some of the things mentioned were too offensive for Lin Munan to tell Xu Keke.

“Your dad told me to trust the Party, trust the organization, and trust our colleagues. Since it’s an investigation, it means they’re going to get to the bottom of things. Don’t worry. We didn’t want to tell you because we felt you were still young, and it’s not a bad thing if you don’t know some things. We want you to always be happy.”

Xu Keke, who never liked physical contact with people, let Lin Munan hold her. In her arms, Xu Keke whispered, "Yes, I will always live happily. You too, may you live a peaceful and joyful life."

This was Du Wenting's last wish: that Du Junsheng and Lin Munan would live a peaceful and joyful life together until old age.

Xu Keke wasn't good at comforting people. After saying a few words to Lin Munan, she said she had to leave.

Not wanting his daughter to see his worries and anxieties, Lin Munan didn't suggest that Xu Keke stay at his home for the first time.

Lin Munan had originally intended to check if Fang Minghui was home so he could take her daughter back. It was only then that she heard Xu Keke say that Fang San was waiting for her outside. Lin Munan had always gotten along well with her neighbors in the Economics and Management compound, so she didn't think much of it. She was just annoyed that her daughter hadn't let anyone in.

She specially escorted Xu Keke to the roadside, greeted Fang San, and told him that next time he must come in and sit for a while before leaving.

Looking out the car window, Lin Munan walked alone towards the dormitory building. Under the streetlights, her shadow stretched long, making her appear exceptionally lonely and isolated. If she didn't have things to do, Xu Keke really wanted to run back and keep her company.

"Third brother, take me to the police station."

Fang San thought he had misheard and glanced at her bag. "What's wrong? Did you lose something? Is it your wallet?"

"No, I'm going to sue Li Shaojie." Xu Keke stared directly at Fang San, making no attempt to hide her intentions. "He dared to hurt my family so brazenly; I can't let him get away with it. He's also illegally cohabiting with Li Yumei and Xiao Yujie. I'm going to sue him for having illicit relationships, committing marriage fraud, and bigamy. I want him to receive the punishment he deserves."

This was the divorce method Xu Keke had come up with that didn't require a divorce certificate, but it was too late for her to act.

Fang San wasn't surprised at all that Xu Keke had this idea; in his mind, it was perfectly normal for her to have such thoughts. Moreover, he was very supportive. Fang San glanced at the left rearview mirror, and before starting the car, he said to Xu Keke, "Let's go to the police station near the store. He lives in that area now, and coincidentally, my high school classmate works as a police officer there."

Xu Keke had no objections. However, when the two arrived at the police station, Fang San's classmate was not there.

They were received by a police officer in his early thirties surnamed Chen. He led Fang San and Xu Keke to his office.

After listening to Xu Keke's statement, Officer Chen was very cautious. "Du Wenting, can you guarantee that everything you said is true? You didn't say this because you were angry or dissatisfied with some of your husband's behavior, did you? You should know that providing false testimony or exaggerating the incident during the reporting process is also illegal."

"Officer Chen, I am indeed very dissatisfied with Li Shaojie's behavior. But I'm here today because his actions have broken the law. I came in a hurry and didn't bring my marriage certificate with Li Shaojie, but we are indeed not divorced yet. Li Shaojie's private life is chaotic. Before he got married, he told me and my family that Li Yumei was his sister. But today, in front of many people, he admitted that he and his sister are not related by blood; she was a wife his mother bought for him. Moreover, they have an improper relationship. Also, Xiao Yujie, a surgeon at the affiliated hospital, is his girlfriend from his school days. As for whether they had an improper relationship, I don't have any concrete evidence. But she is currently living in his house."

Xu Keke took out the piece of paper written by Li Shaojie from her bag and handed it to Officer Chen. "Take a look. This was written when he was cornered in the hospital room on the first day of his marriage. He not only committed marriage fraud and bigamy, but he also had illicit affairs. You can even see them living together now if you go to Xiao Yujie's house."

"Wait a moment," Officer Chen said, taking the paper Xu Keke handed him and heading to the office at the end of the corridor.

A young female police officer came over and poured each of them a glass of water. She smiled and said softly, "Wait a moment, Lao Chen has gone to report to his superiors."

He then looked at Xu Keke and said, "A colleague of ours was injured during a mission last year. When he was taken to the hospital, they said he might need to have his leg amputated. Professor Du rushed to the hospital overnight and performed a three-hour surgery. Now he has almost fully recovered. Although he can't do strenuous exercise, he can move around freely. Please be sure to thank Professor Du for us when you see him."

Xu Keke hadn't expected such a coincidence. A vague feeling crept into her mind that this mission was probably more than just seeking justice for Du Wenting. There was likely something else going on with Du Junsheng. Xu Keke couldn't help but think of the Du couple's car accident; if Du Junsheng hadn't died, he would likely have helped many more people.
