"I can walk by myself." Father Xu stood in the yard. Facing the police's arrest, he kept his back straight and his expression unchanged.

But when Xu's mother saw this scene, she felt as if the sky had fallen down. She looked at the police crying and said, "Comrades of the police, have you made a mistake? What does eating poisonous vegetables have to do with our family?

Our vegetables are all organic, without pesticides. You may have arrested the wrong person."

The public security comrade stood there and said impartially: "The vegetables this time come from your village. Please go back with us to investigate.

If it has nothing to do with you, I will naturally let you go back."

"My dear, it's okay. I will be back." Father Xu stood there and comforted his wife. He did the right thing, so he was not afraid of being investigated.

"Mom, it's okay. Our family didn't do anything. My dad will be back soon." Xu Ying frowned and walked up to Xu's mother and said.

Huo Chen looked at the police, his face full of confusion: "The vegetables in our village are all organic vegetables without pesticides, they will not cause poisoning at all.

Are you mistaken? Maybe this person ate something else that caused the disease?"

The public security comrade had a serious look on his face. He had received an order from his superiors to investigate the matter, and he was just following orders.

Looking at Huo Chen, he said, "We have to go back and investigate this matter thoroughly. Whether it's you or the vegetable wholesalers, we have to investigate it thoroughly."

Huo Chen smiled and nodded, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag and handed it to the man: "Thank you for telling me, my dad is old and can't stand the hard work, please don't make it too difficult for me."

The public security comrade was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and refused: "No, we are just doing our job."

After sending the police away, Xu's mother stood in the yard with a worried look on her face. Her heart was pounding and she was a little nervous: "My daughter, I'm worried. Is your father really okay?"

Xu Ying nodded, and glanced at Xu Qingqing at the door, her eyes flashing.

"It'll be fine."

Xu Ying's words were like a stabilizing force, and Xu's mother's mood calmed down a lot.

"My dad must be fine. The public security comrade just now looked righteous. He will definitely investigate it thoroughly and release my dad. Mom, don't worry too much." Huo Chensheng came up to comfort.

Xu's mother nodded, "I hope so."

At the same time, a group of people suddenly rushed out of Director Gu's room in Yu County.

"Someone reported that Director Gu and the head of Xujia Village colluded with each other, abused their power for personal gain, sold poisonous vegetables, and took kickbacks from the sales, harming the interests of the people of Yu County.

Director Gu, please come with us and investigate!" The leading man said, and then he pushed Director Gu away.

Deputy Director Zhang stood at the door, looking confused as if he was watching a good show: "Oh, what's going on? Why was Director Gu taken away?"

"It seems that he colluded with the head of Xujia Village to sell poisonous vegetables, and he also embezzled a lot of money."

"The head of Xujia Village, his son is the boyfriend of Director Gu's daughter. The two families do have close ties, but Director Gu doesn't look like someone who would do such a thing."

"Who knows? You can't judge a person by his appearance. If he really had nothing wrong, why would he be arrested for investigation? He must have done something shameful."

Many people gathered together and whispered, while Deputy Director Zhang stood there with his back straighter.

Lao Gu, Lao Gu, you just stay in there this time. It won’t be too late to come out after Lao Zhang is successfully promoted.

Director Gu was arrested. Deputy Director Zhang walked into the office carelessly. When he saw the documents on the table, his eyes widened suddenly. He picked up the things on the table and looked at them carefully with a look of shock on his face.

Old Gu actually found out what happened back then. Fortunately, he acted quickly, otherwise, once Old Gu had exposed him, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Deputy Director Zhang returned home in a state of panic. When his mother saw him coming back, she was delighted and said, "I heard that Lao Gu was arrested.

You did this, didn't you? There's a chance he can get out. I think it's best for him to stay in there for the rest of his life."

"Why don't you speak?" Mother Zhang looked at the man in silence and asked curiously.

Deputy Director Zhang took a sip of water and calmed down before asking, "Do you remember how I became the director?"

Zhang's mother's face changed: "Why are you talking about this for no reason? It's all in the past."

Deputy Director Zhang threw out today's document. Zhang's mother looked pale when she saw it: "Where did this come from?"

Deputy Director Zhang sneered: "He's from Lao Gu's office. Fortunately, he was arrested, otherwise I would be in trouble.

But since Lao Gu has figured this out, it seems like these people are unreliable. I have to find a way to get rid of them, otherwise I will definitely be implicated."

Zhang's mother nodded and said that this matter should be done as soon as possible without any delay.

Back then, her husband was just a small clerk with no one to help him. It would have been impossible for him to get to his current position without some clever tricks.

I didn't expect that Lao Gu could actually find out all these things. He is really amazing.

The news that Director Gu was taken away for investigation quickly spread.

When Xu Ying heard the news, she felt something was wrong. Her father got into trouble, and then Director Gu. Moreover, it was too coincidental that the two of them were involved in this incident.

"Huo Chen, I don't think this is a coincidence." It's a conspiracy.

"Don't worry about this matter. Just have a good rest at home. I will investigate it thoroughly." Huo Chen said and got up and walked out.

Xu Qingqing was standing at the gate of the Xu family. Seeing Xu Ying, she pretended to be surprised and said, "Xu Ying, your father is really amazing. He actually poisoned the food.

I heard that someone died from eating it, so this should be used to pay for the person's life."

"Shut up, you little bitch. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart." Mother Xu was so angry that her heart ached, but her body couldn't stop shaking.

It’s so delicious that it can kill people. Is this true?

The vegetables in their village are not treated with pesticides, so there is no chance of poisoning.

"Xu Qingqing, don't be so confident. We all know how the vegetables in our village are grown. There will be no poisoning at all.

I think it might be someone secretly plotting to harm someone in our village. After all, it's easy for some people to poison someone." Xu Ying stared at Xu Qingqing with sharp eyes and said.

Xu Qingqing was immediately panicked by her shock. It was her father who poisoned the vegetables. Could it be that Xu Ying had discovered something when she said this? "Xu Ying, what do you mean? Who would poison vegetables for no reason?"

"That's not necessarily true. Some people will do anything for profit. I think it might be you. We didn't allow you to succeed in the vegetable wholesale business, so you hold a grudge and poisoned us!" As soon as Xu Ying said this, the villagers immediately looked at Xu Qingqing.
