The next morning, Xu Ying went to the Public Security Bureau alone, reported the case to the local police, and produced the contents of the recorder as evidence.

She originally thought that the contents of the recorder could be used as evidence to arrest the murderers, but she underestimated Director Wu.

"Yingying, Cheng Yinghe and Zhang Guoqing have been arrested." Zhao's mother told Xu Ying the good news as soon as she got off work. These two people really deserved it. It was great that they were arrested.

Xu Ying's cousin can also get fairness.

"It's now spread outside that Zhang Guoqing likes Cheng Yinghe, and Cheng Yinghe likes your cousin, but your cousin married someone else, and Cheng Yinghe hates your cousin.

She reached an agreement with Zhang Guoqing to harm your cousin. She was willing to marry your cousin. Alas, how could this man be so cruel?

That Zhang Guoqing is such a fool, being so infatuated with a vicious woman like Cheng Yinghe." Mother Zhao mentioned this and shook her head with regret.

Zhang Guoqing seems to be a carefree person on weekdays, but I didn't expect that he is such a passionate man.

"Mom, is that really what people say outside?" After saying this, Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Ying and saw that her sister-in-law's face was ashen.

Mother Zhao didn't understand and nodded: "What's wrong? Isn't that the case?"

Xu Ying's face was filled with anger: "That's not the case at all. Zhang Guoqing and Cheng Yinglan did harm my cousin, but Wu Zhengyi was the mastermind."

After Xu Ying finished speaking, she stood up.

When Zhao's mother heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She immediately guessed some possibilities. When she saw Xu Ying, she reached out to stop her: "Yingying, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to the Public Security Bureau to find out what's going on." Xu Ying looked unwilling.

Zhao's mother looked embarrassed, because Wu Zhengyi was the son of their deputy factory director, and the deputy factory director had considerable say in the county.

Xu Ying is just a country boy, how can she go against the deputy factory director?

She wanted to stop her and tell her not to act so impulsively, but when she thought about the hatred she felt, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Xu Ying finally went to the Public Security Bureau, but as soon as she arrived at the door, a middle-aged man stopped her.

The middle-aged man wore glasses and looked gentle and refined, a scholar, but what he said made Xu Ying feel disgusted.

"You must be Xu Ying, I am Wu Zhengyi's father, let's talk alone.

I can give you money, and that's the end of the matter. Isn't that what you want now?"

It's been so long since this happened, but you didn't think about finding out what happened? Now you want to reopen the case.

They actually underestimated this girl. They should have taken action earlier and destroyed the Xu family so that they would not be criticized.

Now that the incident has come to light, the Xu family will definitely be on guard against them, and it will be difficult to eradicate them completely.

Xu Ying raised her little face slightly, looking at the man who was in a high position, with a naughty smile in her heart. It turned out that he was a high-ranking official, and the words he said were really not worthy of praise.

"Deputy Director Wu, do you think money can measure everything? Then what does my cousin's decades of hard work and study count for? What does my second uncle and second aunt's decades of hard work and efforts to raise their children count for? What does my cousin's wife's loyalty over the years count for? You powerful people can cover up everything with one hand and make all the hard work of us fail with just a few words?" Xu Ying sneered.

Winter is cold, with the merciless north wind blowing, and it feels like a knife cutting your face.

Xu Ying stood stubbornly in the cold wind, her little face already red from the cold, but she was not affected at all.

Now that it has come to this, she will definitely not back down.

Deputy Director Wu looked at Xu Ying and was furious: "Little girl, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. If you don't behave, all your family members will be implicated because of you."

Xu Ying's eyes were bloodshot and she walked into the Public Security Bureau with her back straight.

Even though she guessed the result, she still went in to ask.

Xu Ying left the Public Security Bureau exhausted.

Deputy Director Wu smiled and said, "I told you that if you behaved honestly, I could still spare your family. But since you are so dishonest, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Deputy Director Wu, our county also has leaders. Could it be that the entire province is under your jurisdiction?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Deputy Director Wu's expression changed again and again. He snorted coldly, turned around and left angrily.

Mrs. Xu rushed over at this time, and seeing Xu Ying's pale face, she was very worried: "Yingying, are you feeling unwell?"

Xu Ying waved her hand.

The raging snowflakes fell from the sky, and the biting cold wind blew in gusts.

The streets were filled with people walking in a hurry, wearing hats and scarves with their necks hunched and the collars of their clothes pulled tight. The air was filled with coldness.

This kind of weather makes people feel cold all over.

Xu Ying stood in the heavy snow, and Mrs. Xu's face was full of worry: "Go back!"

Xu Ying stood there motionless. She looked at the pedestrians in the distance and smiled at herself.

Suddenly, the goose-feather-like light seemed to disappear, and a black umbrella appeared above the head.

The black umbrella was slightly lifted, revealing a tall and slender figure. His broad shoulders and strong chest gave people an endless sense of security.

With his slender hands tightly grasping the umbrella handle, he stood elegantly in the snow, looking at the girl under the umbrella, his eyes full of heartache: "You are not my opponent at all.

But Wu Zhengyi was a dishonest person. He was a lustful man and any woman he set his eyes on could not escape.

There were many people in Xiang County who hated the Wu family, but no one dared to speak out.

You are not a match for them, but what if everyone sues the Wu family together?"

Xu Ying's eyes lit up, and she looked at Huo Chen with gratitude: "Thank you, why are you here?"

Huo Chen's face flashed with an unnatural look: "I came here to do something and happened to pass by here."

"Then how do you know about me and the Wu family?" Xu Ying regretted it after asking.

Huo Chen stood in the snow with a blush on his face. Facing Xu Ying's questioning, he said truthfully: "I heard about your cousin in the village.

I was just worried, so I came here to ask around. Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xu Ying's cheeks were flushed with rosy red. She stood in the snow, her heart pounding.

She frantically wanted to escape from this abnormal place, but as soon as she raised her foot, she slipped and fell towards the snow.

"Yingying." Mrs. Xu screamed in panic and raised her hand to pull someone away.

Huo Chen held the umbrella in one hand and quickly grasped Xu Ying's slender waist with the other hand. His fingers gripped Xu Ying's waist, but he felt that it was too thin. He could break it with a little force.

Because of conditioned reflex, Xu Ying also grabbed this life-saving straw the moment Huo Chen grabbed her waist.

The breaths of both of them intertwined, her soft hair gently fell on Huo Chen's cheek, and he could smell the faint fragrance of her hair.
