Jiang Tiancai still remembered Ye Nian'an and knew the news that the Chu family and the Ye family had been exonerated and returned to Haicheng. He was genuinely happy for them.

Having become captains in police stations, he knew perfectly well how chaotic things had been over the years, and who was innocent. He also knew that this was a microcosm of the times.

He was just a nobody, drifting along, seeing things but not saying them, powerless to change anything, and could only sincerely pray that the chaos would end soon.

Otherwise, after those people are arrested, it will be the turn of ordinary people like them next.

Fortunately, after the plots of those treacherous officials were foiled, the country ushered in peace, and they no longer had to live in such fear.

Jiang Tiancai's attitude towards Chu Zhenyuan's wife and daughter-in-law became noticeably more respectful.

"Captain Jiang, this is what happened..."

Ye Nian'an recounted in detail how Zhang Qingqing and Li Dahong had come to cause trouble.

"They immediately accused me of being the mastermind behind the theft years ago, but so many years have passed and even the police haven't found any clues. How can they make me bear the blame for something I didn't do, based on just a few slanderous remarks?"

"Words are meaningless. You've only just met me and you're already accusing me of being a thief. I'm not going to let myself be wronged like that. I'd rather take action than talk!"

"Li Dahong! Zhang Qingqing!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tiancai glared angrily at the two men: "Didn't I say! No evidence! No evidence! I felt utterly ridiculous that you came to me for a call to duty!"

"So many years have passed, and we have never given up the investigation, but we have not found a single clue. You suspect Comrade Ye Nian'an, but you have no evidence whatsoever!"

"They finally got their reputations cleared and returned to the city. You're just jealous because you see them living a good life, so you're deliberately trying to cause trouble!"

"You... Captain Jiang! It was clearly our house that was burgled; we were the victims. How can you, as the police captain, say such things to the victims!"

Zhang Qingqing's voice was choked with sobs, but she couldn't hide the resentment in her eyes, as if she wanted to vent all the resentment she had accumulated over the years on Ye Nian'an.

"It is precisely because you are the victims that we have never given up on chasing the thieves! But they are still innocent civilians, how can you slander them like this!"

"You are not allowed to harass Comrade Ye Nian'an and the others again, unless you have crucial evidence! Otherwise, I will not let you off easily!"

"you!"

Zhang Qingqing was trembling with anger, and it took her a long time to barely suppress her rage: "Captain Jiang, that doesn't count as theft. My daughter and I were beaten like this by Ye Nian'an. You have to stand up for us!"

"You came here to slander them, so getting beaten up is too lenient. Consider it a lesson learned! Let's go!"

"So we deserved to be beaten like this?"

Zhang Qingqing suddenly lunged at Ye Nian'an, but was stopped by a quick-thinking police officer.

She struggled and screamed, her fingernails scratching through the air: "Jiang Tiancai! You're protecting the powerful! Is there no law in this world?"

Li Dahong suddenly broke free of his restraints as if he had gone mad, and plopped down on the ground, pounding his chest and stamping his feet: "Heavens above! The Zhang family's money has been stolen clean, and now they're being bullied! The Chu family is acting lawlessly just because they've been reinstated!"

Her wailing drew whispers from passersby; some shook their heads and sighed, while others pointed and whispered with schadenfreude.

However, those who live near this small park have all heard of the Chu family to some extent.

Chu Zhenyuan and Chi Xinyao are known for their kind hearts and good deeds. Many people didn't believe they were dismissed and demoted.

Now that they have been exonerated, the public views these heroes, who suffered injustice, with more sympathy and prejudice.

At this moment, seeing Li Dahong and Zhang Qingqing running up to people and making a scene, people are mostly criticizing the two for making false accusations without any evidence.

How can someone so serious as to steal be so easily accused?

Jiang Tiancai pointed at Li Dahong's nose and cursed, "Li Dahong! I'm warning you for the last time! If you keep talking nonsense like this, I'll have you arrested and taken to the station!"

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! You're all in cahoots! You're bullying us ordinary people!"

Jiang Tiancai's forehead veins bulged, and he suddenly pulled out handcuffs from his waist: "Take her away! Disturbing the peace and making false accusations against others, that's enough for her to reflect on in the station!"

If the tiger doesn't show its power, it'll really think it's a sick cat!

"What are you doing? Don't touch me! Don't touch me!"

Several police officers pounced forward like wolves, and Li Dahong's curses gradually faded into the distance, leaving Zhang Qingqing standing there, her face as pale as paper.

He only came to his senses after Jiang Tiancai and the others left.

Ye Nian'an, as if watching a good show, said, "What? Aren't you going to save your mother? This time you offended Captain Jiang and spread nonsense everywhere. She'll be in big trouble."

"you!"

Zhang Qingqing gritted her teeth. They had taken the initiative to try and force Ye Nian'an to reveal a weakness, but she didn't reveal any weakness and instead beat them up.

Now her own mother has been arrested—what kind of justice is this? But Zhang Qingqing can't worry about that right now; she has to hurry back and get help!

We need to find our older brothers to rescue Mom first!

After Zhang Qingqing and the others left, Chi Xinyao looked around and said, "I'm sorry, I made a fool of myself in front of everyone. I'm really sorry."

"Young lady, you really have bad luck. You finally got exonerated and returned to Haicheng, bringing back three grandchildren. What a joyous occasion! But you had to run into a bunch of troublemakers."

"Yes, fortunately the police officers are very understanding. These days, you have to be sure of evidence for everything. Otherwise, if someone makes such nonsense and accuses you, you would suffer a lot."

“Young lady, we trust the character of your Chu family. Besides, look at the clothes of that troublemaker earlier. He’s obviously a mercenary. Maybe he’s just trying to take advantage of your Chu family’s triumphant return.”

"Thank you all for your trust!"

Ye Nian'an took out some White Rabbit milk candies from her pocket and distributed them.

The presence of sugar made the onlookers even happier, and they repeatedly assured that this matter would not be publicized. If anyone asked, they would explain on behalf of the Chu family that they had encountered a villain.

"Ahhhhh..."

Seeing that their mother had finished punishing the scumbags and there was no more excitement to watch, the three little ones plopped back down in the stroller and started chattering "Aba" over and over again.

"With the Zhang family making such a fuss, I forgot to give the children their milk. Daddy, Er'er, San'san, are you starving?"

Chi Xinyao placed the baby bottle in her hand on the three little ones.

Now my little one can hold the bottle and drink milk by himself, drinking quietly and happily.

"Niannian, why are they bothering you again? These people are shameless! They've gone too far!"
