Chapter 23: The True Face Revealed



He had just told a huge lie and publicly admitted that it was a fabrication. At this moment, everyone's curiosity was unprecedentedly strong and they all stared at Lin Minjun.

"Why did I lie?" Lin Minjun smiled. "Some time ago, when I was living in Zhao Ning's house, I was reported by someone. The joint defense team came and said that I had no job and no place to live, so I was a drifter, and they wanted to persuade me to return to Yunnan. When I came here today, Shen Hongyu hinted that she wanted me to give up and return to Yunnan, so I made up these words to see if Hongyu would report me again."

Everyone was stunned. Jiang Quan was half sober. "So you suspect Hongyu is the one who reported you and hurt you? That's impossible. Hongyu doesn't have such bad intentions."

"I don't want to doubt Sister Hongyu, but she also felt that my uncle was not a human being in Yunnan before, and persuaded me to come to the capital with you guys. It's been less than two months, and she said that my uncle is not a bad person and asked me to go back. Her attitude changed so quickly that it's hard not to be suspicious." Lin Minjun spread her hands and said seriously: "Logically speaking, it's not normal to let a stranger register your household registration. If Sister Hongyu is really the one who reported me, then she is so anxious to leave now, maybe she went to report again. I just wanted to go and see with Zhao Ning. If it's really her, I have to ask her where I offended her to hurt me like this. If not, I will apologize to her."

Actually, it was not allowed for the educated youth to help Lin Minjun get on the train under cover.

But Lin Minjun was in such a dangerous situation at the time. If she didn't leave, she would be sold out. The plan to get on the train was something that everyone thought up together and everyone agreed to. But now someone turned against them as soon as they arrived in the capital, and reported Lin Minjun in a blink of an eye, forcing her to go back. This was a very unfair and immoral thing to do!

So was it really Shen Hongyu who reported it? The educated youths looked at each other, all with bewildered expressions on their faces.

Luo Lin, on the other hand, was so angry after hearing the report that he took two deep breaths without saying a word, and stood up to go out. "Since you have doubts, I'll go with you to see if she reported it and why she did so."

As soon as Luo Lin spoke, Lu Deping also stood up and said, "I'll go take a look too. Even if we broke up, we are still friends. I'll support you."

Lin Minjun was still in a hurry to catch up with Shen Hongyu. She glanced at Lu Deping without saying anything.

Luo Lin and he both had bicycles, so they could chase him on bicycles to avoid losing him.

The group was about to leave, and the few people left at the table couldn't eat anymore, especially the several male educated youth who still had a crush on Shen Hongyu. In their hearts, Shen Hongyu was still a kind, gentle and considerate goddess. Would she really do such a wicked thing?

With a lot of doubt and shock in their hearts, several male educated youths, led by Jiang Quan, also stood up and said, "I don't believe Hongyu would do such a thing. Let's go and take a look."

Without even eating, everyone went to look for Shen Hongyu.

When they reached the door of the hotel, a gust of cold wind blew over with snow foam in it. Everyone shivered and Jiang Quan was completely sober.

Seeing Lin Minjun looking around at the door, he curled his lips and said, "She left a long time ago, but you are still suspicious of her. Hongyu was so good to us in Yunnan. You guys are just suspicious of her."

Zhao Ning was silent for a long time, but then he became annoyed. "Jiang Quan, we are just suspicious, not sure. Aren't we looking for evidence? If she didn't report it, Xiao Ajun and I will formally apologize to her later."

"What's the use of apologizing? Hongyu must be very sad knowing that you suspect her." Jiang Quan said this sarcastically.

"You call her Hongyu all the time, Jiang Quan. You've been chasing her for such a long time. You've given her many gifts and done many things for her. Does Shen Hongyu treat you as a dish?" Zhao Ning turned around and asked back.

Of course not. Shen Hongyu used her family's difficult financial situation as an excuse and would occasionally give him some snacks, pork and the like, but she never openly admitted who her girlfriend was.

Jiang Quan's pride couldn't stand being exposed. "Why don't you take me seriously? Why don't you pay attention to me? Zhao Ning, can you stop thinking of me as such a bad person?"

Zhao Ning: "Isn't what I said the truth?"

Jiang Quan insisted: "Whatever the facts, you are just assuming the worst. Hongyu couldn't have kept me hanging on purpose, nor could she have reported Lin Minjun."

Everyone is looking for clues right now, and he is making a fuss here.

Zhao Ning thought this person was a noisy person. "If you don't believe me, don't follow me. Your noise will affect us."

"Why? Of course I have to stay here. I want to help Hongyu clear her grievances. You guys have no comradeship at all. Of course I have to stand up for Hongyu." Jiang Quan refused to admit that Shen Hongyu was that kind of person. Once he admitted it, it would seem that his previous pursuit was stupid, so he pouted his head and refused to leave.

The two were arguing, and Lin Minjun, who had been looking for footprints on the ground, said, "Zhao Ning, stop arguing. Look, is this Shen Hongyu's footprint?"

Just now Shen Hongyu said something and slipped away. Zhao Ning followed her out to look at her footprints. At this time, he glared at Jiang Quan and went over to take a look.

"It's her. There weren't many people leaving just now, and only Shen Hongyu was wearing boots with heels. Which direction is this? It's not his home, right?" Zhao Ning said.

It was snowing in the north city. A thin layer of snow covered the ground. People could see footprints when they walked on it. By following the footprints, they could find out where the person had gone.

Lin Minjun carefully identified it, "I remember her home is in South City. This direction is not South City, right?"

Doesn't this mean that Shen Hongyu was lying just now?

"She just said that she was going home to cook for me, saying that I was starving. How come she wasn't hungry as soon as she left the hotel?" Zhao Ning said with a smile.

Lin Minjun said, "Alright, alright, no more quarreling. Don't come back and tell the person who reported me. We should start a quarrel among ourselves. If it wasn't Shen Hongyu who reported me, I would have apologized to her. We have already found her direction and footprints. We have to catch up with her now, otherwise her footprints will be messed up. But with so many people, how can we get there?"

There were several bicycles parked in the corner. Lu Deping came back to life and with a quick mind, he immediately pushed his own bicycle over and said, "I'll take you there on my bicycle, faster."

Lin Minjun looked back openly, "We have already broken up, so we should avoid suspicion."

As he was talking, a bicycle stopped beside Lin Minjun. Luo Lin grabbed the handlebars and said, "I'll take you there."

So it was agreed. Lin Minjun sat in Luo Lin's car, Zhao Ning sat in the back seat of Lu Deping's car, and the others who had bicycles took those who didn't, and they walked along the way to identify the way. They rode towards Xue Mozi, and after riding for more than 20 minutes, their footprints stopped in front of a yard. Luo Lin frowned at the first sight, "Joint defense team?"

"Shen Hongyu won't really come to report it, right?" Zhao Ning jumped off the bicycle, looking very aggressive.

"We came to the joint defense team to report. Besides, what's the big deal about reporting? Illegal settlement is wrong in the first place." Jiang Quan felt much happier when he saw that Zhao Ning was unhappy. He didn't mind seeing the excitement.

Lin Minjun laughed, "Then why did you ask me about the good-hearted person just now? Did you forget that this was against the rules?"

Jiang Quan was speechless and stood aside with his sleeves rolled up.

To put it bluntly, this is like money falling from the sky. Those who didn't pick it up say how could you pick up money. This is immoral.

But if they see money falling from the sky, everyone will run over to pick it up.

Lin Minjun: "Stop arguing, let's go in and take a look first."

As they were talking, a group of people parked their bicycles in a secluded place and walked towards the yard with light footsteps.

It was now off-duty time for the joint defense team. The yard was dark and the lights in the house were turned off. It was pitch black and there was no sign of anyone.

Everyone was worried for a moment. According to the footprints, Shen Hongyu had come here, but there was no one in the house.

After entering the yard, Lin Minjun went to the outermost room first, leaned against the door and listened for any noise. There was only the sound of a few mice moving around at night, and no one was talking.

"Let's go over there and take a look." Zhao Ning took Lin Minjun's hand and walked west.

This joint defense team has a large courtyard, with three large bungalows in the front and two small bungalows in the back. It seems that the three front bungalows are used for offices, and the back bungalow is probably a small warehouse and a dormitory for employees who don't have time to go home.

I walked around the three large bungalows, but couldn't find any trace of Shen Hongyu.

Lin Minjun and Zhao Ning looked at each other.

Lin Minjun: "Did you really see it clearly? Are you sure it's Shen Hongyu's footprint?"

"I saw it clearly. She was the only one wearing boots. They made a clacking sound when she walked. Have you forgotten?" Zhao Ning said.

But the footprints did lead to the gate of the joint defense team. Unfortunately, it was too dark and there was no light in the yard, so I couldn't find the footprints after I entered.

Calling everyone here with such fanfare, it would be fine if Shen Hongyu was caught in the act, but if not, Jiang Quan would definitely inform Shen Hongyu, and maybe she would continue to harm him in the future.

When Lin Minjun thought of Shen Hongyu's face, which was like "I'm doing this for your own good" but then she turned around and stabbed her in the back, she felt that they could no longer be friends.

Unable to find it in the big house, the group was about to go around to the small house to look for it, but at this time Jiang Quan said something frivolous, "I said it, didn't I? Did you find Hongyu?"

Before she could finish her words, Lin Minjun heard someone approaching not far away and immediately lowered her voice, "Hide and don't say anything!"

Before everyone could react, they were holding each other down and hiding behind the big trees and bushes beside the house. Jiang Quan was a step slow and wanted to hide next to Zhao Ning, but Zhao Ning pushed him out in disgust. He wanted to find Luo Lin, but Luo Lin kicked him away. In the end, he had no choice but to stick himself in the door frame like a monkey, not daring to say a word.

Everyone stared at the path in front of the cabin.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, forming a thick layer on the ground, which made a dull crunching sound when stepped on.

Listening to the footsteps, it should be two people, everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"Uncle, what I told you this time is true. This is illegal settlement. Go back and ask your people to investigate. If they can find out, just buy her a train ticket back to Yunnan." This was clearly Shen Hongyu's voice. There was no trace of the gentleness and softness in her tone just now. She wished that Lin Minjun would fall into the fire pit right away.

The man walking with Shen Hongyu was not very tall, but he wore a furry hat and a pair of leather boots. Although this outfit was not good-looking, it was something that only rich people could afford nowadays.

The man said in a dissatisfied tone, "You said that last time, and the result was that I was treated as if I couldn't tolerate a little girl. My subordinates came back with unhappy faces. This time, don't make empty promises again."

Shen Hongyu took a deep breath and raised her hands above her head. "I swear it's true. She said it herself. She said that a kind-hearted person helped her settle down, but they are not related at all. Uncle, please believe me this time and take someone to have a look. What I said is true. If I'm lying, call my whole family..."

So Shen Hongyu, who kept saying that she was doing this for Lin Minjun's sake and treating her like a younger sister, really reported Ah Jun twice in a row?

How can she have the nerve to do that? She must be extremely evil-minded, right?

The educated youth hiding in the back heard the conversation between the two clearly, and the expressions on their faces gradually broke. Luo Lin even clenched his fists and was about to rush out, but was stopped by Lin Minjun.

Let’s listen again. Maybe Shen Hongyu can say more interesting things.
