Sun Xiumei was still in shock, her mouth agape.

Shen Yuqin was as energetic as if she had been injected with chicken blood, shouting incessantly:

"Inspection Team, arrest these two shameless people! Arrest them now! Arrest them now!"

Seeing that things had escalated to this point, there was no reason to back down anymore.

She originally thought that Shen Honggang's warning would keep Shen Yuqin in line for a while.

Who knew that Shen Yuqin couldn't even hold back for one night, and made ruining her reputation her life's work.

Shen Jingyan has never been one to passively take a beating. When someone bullies her to the point of being overbearing, why should she care about saving face?

Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated and let go of Shen Yuqin's hair and arm.

As soon as the pain in Shen Yuqin's head and arms disappeared, she jumped three feet away, panting heavily, and stared at Shen Jingyan with a vicious look.

But seeing Shen Jingyan's calm and composed expression made her feel a little uneasy.

Shen Jingyan said to Sun Xiumei, "Captain, can Zhou Zhengqing and Shen Yuqin's unreliable words be considered evidence?"

Sun Xiumei became much more cautious in her speech: "This matter still needs to be investigated further."

Shen Jingyan smiled calmly, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Gu Zhiyun, who was looking at her with concern.

But he didn't dare to look for too long; his eyes were full of restraint and forbearance.

Shen Jingyan turned around calmly, and under the curious gazes of everyone, opened the wardrobe and took out a stack of photos from a small wooden box.

Upon seeing the stack of photos, Shen Honggang's eyes flickered with a struggle.

Shen Jingyan's heart wavered for a moment, but quickly became firm again.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, but things have come to this point. My personal reputation is more important than anything else."

Shen Honggang's lips moved silently a few times, and his eyes became extremely dull.

But he didn't say anything.

With her back to him, Shen Jingyan handed the photo to Sun Xiumei:

"Captain, after seeing these photos, you'll know who's been messing around with women!"

Sun Xiumei glanced at the photo only once before quickly hiding it in her sleeve.

Shen Yuqin, however, was confused and continued to shout at the top of her lungs, "What photos? What are you two up to so mysteriously?"

When Shen Honggang saw that Shen Jingyan did not show the photos to everyone on the spot, he felt both grateful and ashamed. But Shen Yuqin was as stupid as a pig and was afraid that the world would not be chaotic enough!

He grabbed Shen Yuqin's arm and warned in a low voice, "Come on, let's go to the inspection team! Don't embarrass yourselves here!"

Sun Xiumei also waved to the two team members and said, "You two, what are you standing there for? Help Gangzi take Shen Yuqin away from me!"

When Shen Yuqin saw the team members coming to support her from both sides, she started throwing a tantrum and acting like a spoiled brat again.

"Why are you arresting me? Why are you arresting me?"

Her target quickly became Sun Xiumei.

"What photos did you hide in your sleeve?"

As he spoke, he lunged at Sun Xiumei with bared teeth and claws.

It was strange that despite carrying such a large lump of flesh, she moved quickly and ruthlessly. Shen Jingyan and Shen Honggang tried to stop her, but it was too late.

Sun Xiumei was tackled squarely, staggered a few steps, and bumped into the wardrobe.

Shen Yuqin went berserk and tried to snatch the photo from her sleeve.

"Splash—"

The photos flew through the air and lay scattered all over the ground.

Shen Jingyan almost laughed at Shen Yuqin's stupidity.

They wanted to leave her with a last shred of dignity, but Shen Yuqin didn't even want that last fig leaf.

So, does this count as self-reporting?

Courage, or is it Shen Yuqin who is courageous?

When everyone saw the appalling scene in the photo, some gasped for breath, others screamed, and the small dormitory erupted in chaos.

When Gu Zhiyun saw An Zi craning his neck to look curiously, he quickly pulled him back and covered his eyes.

When Shen Yuqin finally saw the man and woman entangled together in the photo, she was like a crow with its throat choked, only able to hiss.

Zhou Zhengqing saw those extremely impactful images, his brain was rushing with blood, his legs went weak, and he could barely stand.

Shen Jingyan said coldly, "Shen Yuqin, the brigade leader and I tried our best to save you some face, but you didn't want it yourself."

Shen Honggang's face was ashen. Without saying a word, he picked up the photos and clutched them tightly in his hand.

At that moment, Shen Jingyan felt very sorry for Shen Honggang.

But she felt she hadn't done anything wrong.

Shen Honggang, his shoulders trembling and his eyes red, glared at Shen Yuqin.

"You beast, what else do you have to say? Do you want your father dead?"

Sun Xiumei touched her aching spine and her face fell completely.

"Shen Yuqin, you're really biting the hand that feeds you! You don't appreciate kindness at all! How can there be such a stupid girl like you in this world!"

Shen Yuqin howled twice in despair, like a dog about to drown.

From the crowd, one of the workers shouted, "It's this guy surnamed Zhou! He's always flirting with women and getting his hands dirty! He even tried to seduce my niece! Team leader, don't let him get away with this! He's the scum of the educated youth!"

Once the worker started it, voices denouncing Zhou Zhengqing rose up one after another, and even those who couldn't squeeze into the room joined in.

Zhou Zhengqing's face turned ashen, and his body trembled like a leaf.

The evidence is irrefutable; the photos cannot be faked. Even if he had a thousand clever words, he couldn't clear his name.

"Shen Yuqin seduced me first!"

Before Shen Yuqin could speak, Zhou Zhengqing turned the tables, "Look at her like that dead pig! How could I possibly be interested in her? She was the one who kept pestering me, insisting on coming to the woodshed with me! She was the one who took off her clothes first. I—I'm a normal man. How could a man resist in that situation!"

Shen Honggang was furious, and the bloodshot in his eyes looked like they were about to burst into flames.

"You, surnamed Zhou, you're not a man for saying that!"

Seeing that Shen Honggang's fists were clenched like iron hammers, as if he were about to pounce on him and beat him up at any moment, Zhou Zhengqing immediately changed his tune, adopting an attitude of taking responsibility for his mistakes.

"Uncle, since it has already happened, I accept it! I am willing to marry Yuqin!"

Shen Yuqin was hiding behind Shen Honggang, sobbing. Upon hearing this, she hastily wiped away her tears and said with a mixture of surprise and joy:

"Brother Zhou, do you keep your word?"

In front of everyone, Zhou Zhengqing couldn't back out. He feigned deep affection and, suppressing his nausea, said:

"Yuqin, don't worry about what others say, I will definitely take responsibility for you to the end!"

Overjoyed, Shen Yuqin burst into tears, met everyone's gaze, and cried out in a shrill voice:

"Did you all hear that? I'm going to marry Zhou, the educated youth! I'm going to become a city dweller!"

Shen Honggang showed no sign of joy; his bloodshot eyes glared at Zhou Zhengqing: "Let's go home and talk about it!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiumei realized there was no need for her to get involved.

The farce ended amidst the murmurs and discussions of the crowd.

The comments were as harsh as they could possibly be.

Shen Honggang simply lowered his head and pulled Shen Yuqin and Zhou Zhengqing towards home.

Gu Zhiyun glanced at Shen Jingyan silently for a few moments, then swallowed the words that were rising in his throat.

When they reached the entrance of the forest farm, Sun Xiumei suddenly waved to Gu Zhiyun.

"Xiao Gu, come here for a second!"
