Cheng Ran's eyes flickered, and he saw a hint of wavering in He Meng's eyes, which made him frown.
“It’s a setup.” Without even thinking, Cheng Ran replied directly.
"How can you prove it? Comrade Jiang has already been taken away for investigation. She said she wanted to restore the integrity of the research institute. Now that things are like this, what do you plan to do? If she really leaked the questions, then the nature of the matter is even more serious than that of the Wang family. We hate people who say one thing and do another. If she was framed, can she get away with it? She's already gotten herself involved. What will she do then?"
He asked a series of questions, some of which were questioning. Hong Xing was more agitated and outgoing than Cheng Ran. He had barely sat down when he stood up and glared angrily at He Meng.
“My sister-in-law would never do something like leaking exam questions! If Professor Xue hadn’t begged her to do experiments at the research institute to deal with certain corrupt officials before he died, she could have made a profit just by running the factory. Why would she do something so risky? What good would it do her?”
He Meng and the others exchanged glances and nodded almost imperceptibly. That made sense. Everyone in the world is driven by profit. Jiang Wanqing already had enough wealth under her name, so there was really no need for her to leak exam questions.
“Sigh, we were just testing your attitude. In fact, we all don’t believe that Comrade Jiang would do anything against his original intentions. Comrade Cheng, we have something to give you.”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ran raised an eyebrow in surprise: "What is it?"
"To be honest, we're afraid we won't live to see the day when the Wang family is dismantled and justice is served. They've been targeting us lately, probably trying to clean us up once and for all so we don't have any future problems. Plus, we've really been exhausted these past few years. Even someone as powerful as Comrade Jiang can be dragged into this. We... sigh, I just want to go back and spend some quality time with my family."
After He Meng finished speaking, he had someone hand a document to Cheng Ran. The edges of the document were rough, indicating that they must have been carrying it with them at all times, and that it was very important.
Realizing this, Cheng Ran felt a significant increase in the weight in his hands. He looked at them.
"Could you explain this? This thing..."
"This is the evidence we've collected over the past few years, which has cost us a lot of manpower and resources, regarding Wang Duo's violations of rules, regulations, and laws. With our own strength alone, this is not enough to bring him down, but you should have a way. I'm giving it to you. Make good use of it and get Comrade Jiang out of trouble."
"You...are you really not staying?"
He Meng didn't hand over the evidence to Jiang Wanqing when they were at their peak, probably because he was hesitant at the time. Now that they are at their lowest point, he has handed over the most important evidence to him, which is like sending charcoal in snowy weather.
"No, Comrade Cheng, I wish you all the best. After today, we will return to society. We have also thought it through. There are many opportunities in all walks of life. We will not give up the fight against evil people, nor will we give up a normal life."
These words brought tears to the eyes of those who heard them, and Hung Hing immediately regretted speaking to them the way he had just spoken.
"I'm sorry, comrades, I was a bit too harsh earlier."
"It's alright. The fact that you spoke up for Comrade Jiang without hesitation shows that she is worthy."
Everyone exchanged smiles. Cheng Ran knew that after today, it would be difficult to see such a well-organized "request for justice" team again. He felt a little heavy-hearted. He rolled his eyes and took out paper and pen from his pocket.
"If possible, please leave your contact address. When Wanqing returns and things are officially over, I will definitely visit her to thank her and tell you the good news. Also... the work and help she promised before are still valid. I can say that on her behalf."
"Thank you, Comrade Cheng, but it's not necessary..."
Before He Meng could finish refusing, Hong Xing had already handed him paper and pen.
"Keep one, it's good to make a friend."
"Alright, since that's the case, then let's look forward to hearing Comrade Jiang's good news with our own ears in the near future."
After confirming with everyone, Cheng Ran left his contact information on a piece of paper one by one. He gave them a few instructions and left them some money before leaving with Hong Xing.
"Brother Cheng, where do we go now?"
Go pick up your sister-in-law!
Cheng Ran clenched his fist. Besides the money, he now had evidence in his hands, which increased his chances of winning.
...
Jiang Wanqing was released the next day. Cheng Ran was waiting for her early in the morning. When he saw her come out, he immediately went up and hugged her. Hong Xing was moved by what he saw.
"Are you alright? Did they give you any trouble?"
"No, they wouldn't dare." She forced a smile, looked at Cheng Ran, and touched his face. "But you, you look so haggard after just two days."
“Sister-in-law, Brother Cheng has been running around looking for evidence and connections. He hasn’t had much rest these past two days. Now that you’re back, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief,” Hong Xing explained.
Jiang Wanqing's face flushed with heartache, and she pursed her lips.
"I haven't been cleared of suspicion yet; I've just been released on bail. If the Wang family continues to frame me and confirm that I leaked the exam questions..."
"No, we will definitely find evidence to bring them down. I have already taken those three people from Huada into custody. They have confessed that Wang Yan gave them money and promised them other jobs, and then orchestrated this scheme to harm you."
"Then we..."
She felt a glimmer of hope, and her eyes lit up. But before she could finish speaking, a car pulled up beside them. Wang Duo rolled down the window and waved to them with a smile.
"Comrade Jiang, Comrade Cheng, get in the car. I'll give you a ride. I have something to say to you."
The appearance of this bastard is definitely not a good thing. Hung Hing couldn't suppress the urge to beat him up, but before he could rush up and drag him out, Cheng Ran pulled him back and shook his head.
"Don't forget where you are, and don't cause trouble."
Jiang Wanqing had just come out, and the consequences of assaulting someone outside the law enforcement department at this time were predictable. Perhaps Wang Duo was just waiting for them to lose their temper and take action.
"I'm sorry, Brother Cheng, I... I just couldn't stand it..."
"You go first, do as I say, your sister-in-law and I will go and meet him."
Cheng Ran lowered his voice. They also wanted to talk to Wang Duo, partly to test him and partly to lay their cards on the table and see what other tricks he had up his sleeve!
The couple got into Wang Duo's car, and after the car drove away, the atmosphere was quiet for only a dozen seconds before the old man couldn't help but speak.
"I didn't expect that even after getting into such a big mess, Comrade Jiang would still be able to get out. It seems that you guys aren't as incorruptible as you claim. Otherwise, where would you get so many connections, hmm?"
"Do you think everyone is like you and your daughter, pulling strings to do heinous things for your own benefit? Don't compare yourself to us, you're not worthy!"
"Ha, Comrade Jiang is already so arrogant after just getting out. Aren't you afraid that if you go in next time, you'll never come out again?"
Wang Duo turned his head, glanced at the couple, and snorted.
"Next time, we'll send those damned people in jail! We'll atone for our sins for the rest of our lives!"
