However, he soon discovered that workers at height had witnessed everything, and the man became afraid they would call the police. So, he opened the window, intending to pull the worker into his home. The worker refused, and during the ensuing struggle, he fell.
The loud noise when the worker fell made the man afraid of being noticed, so he didn't dare go downstairs to deal with the body.
The man packed his things and fled, but has since been arrested by the police.
Chen Jiayi frowned. So the staff were just innocent victims?
Although the residential complex was built by the Chen family, and the man is a government employee, it shouldn't have garnered this much attention. Unless someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes...
Shen Jialiang also sensed something was wrong. Although they weren't in the finance industry, they could still feel something was off, let alone Chen Qiming, who was in the business world.
"Mom, is someone pulling the strings behind this?"
Lan Meixuan chuckled softly, surprised that the children were so perceptive.
A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she nodded.
"Yes, this matter is somewhat related to the Lin family."
The Lin family has fallen out of the upper echelons of society, and their past actions have been exposed. They all feel that the Chen family is to blame.
So, even after they were inside, they were still restless and tried every means to undermine the Chen family.
Chen Jiayi was surprised to find it was still the Lin family. She then thought of Chen Jiahua and wondered how he was doing.
The group chatted for a long time on the third floor, and Chen Jiayi finally ate dinner at home before returning to school.
She had just returned to school when the police found Chen Jiayi and said that Chen Jiahua's body had been found.
When Chen Jiayi went to ask for leave, the female teacher glanced at Chen Jiayi, but this time she didn't say anything and just signed the form for Chen Jiayi.
After Chen Jiayi left, the female teacher said to her colleague with a sarcastic expression, "I wonder who's running around outside the school every day."
After Chen Jiayi walked out, she discovered that the female teacher had missed signing one of her names.
She turned back with the leave slip in her hand, only to overhear the female teacher's words at the door.
Chen Jiayi tolerated her before because she respected her.
However, respect is mutual. Since the other party doesn't respect her, Chen Jiayi feels that she doesn't need to respect her either.
So, Chen Jiayi placed the leave slip on the table and stared directly at the female teacher.
"Female teacher, you missed signing a line."
The female teacher was surprised that Chen Jiayi would turn around. She awkwardly took the leave slip and found that she had indeed missed signing a line.
After the female teacher finished signing the leave slip, Chen Jiayi took it and spoke calmly.
"Teacher, I want to apply for day school. I won't live in the dormitory anymore. My parents and Teacher Shen live outside the school."
Originally, Chen Jiayi could have lived with Shen Jialiang in his house.
But she felt that accommodation was more convenient, so she chose to stay in the dormitory.
But even asking for leave gets her swarmed by crickets, so Chen Jiayi thinks she might as well just live outside.
If you want to live with Shen Jialiang, you can go directly to Shen Jialiang's house.
It's also convenient to enter and leave the school.
Upon hearing Chen Jiayi's words, the female teacher froze, momentarily speechless.
Seeing that the female teacher was silent, Chen Jiayi walked away with a cold face.
Even though I did nothing wrong, the female teacher was being sarcastic and insincere.
She originally respected her teachers and thought they were all good people.
But after meeting this teacher, Chen Jiayi's perception was completely overturned.
After leaving the school, Chen Jiayi went straight to the police station.
Originally, Chen Jiayi thought she would see Chen Jiahua when she arrived at the police station. Chen Jiahua did indeed appear, but what Chen Jiayi saw was... a corpse.
For a moment, she stood in front of the corpse, looking dazed, and fell silent as she stared at the unrecognizable Chen Jiahua.
"Ms. Chen, I'm sorry. When we found Mr. Chen, he was already dead."
The police officer at the police station looked apologetic. Originally, Chen Jiahua had gone undercover to carry out a mission.
In the end, this is how it all ended up.
Chen Jiayi choked up a little. She still remembered what Chen Jiahua had said to her before.
It can be said that Chen Jiahua was the only person besides her sister-in-law who treated her unconditionally well in her entire life.
"Has my sister-in-law... informed them...?"
Chen Jiayi originally thought her older brother was dead. In her previous life, when she lived to be several decades old, her older brother never came back.
Looking back now, maybe my older brother died just like he did in this life when he was an undercover agent in his previous life.
When Officer Zhao answered Chen Jiayi, his expression showed a hint of regret.
"The notification has been sent, and the person is already on their way."
Chen Jiayi was not unaware that the police officer next to her was someone she knew.
Although she was surprised, what saddened her even more at that moment was Chen Jiahua's passing.
When Xu Cuihua arrived, she initially did not believe the police station, but after seeing Chen Jiayi and then Chen Jiahua's body, she broke down.
She wept bitterly; for so many years, Xu Cuihua had been waiting for him.
But what about him? He went undercover without a word, ended up with another woman, and died.
After Xu Cuihua arrived, Officer Zhao began to describe the facts.
"Chen Jiahua originally planned to join the army, but he was spotted by the special police. In the end, he went to the special police team for an internship."
"Later, Chen Jiahua was sent to go undercover, and all his previous identities had to be erased. After his identity was erased, Chen Jiahua's identity changed completely except for his name."
"Actually, the higher-ups already knew that the Lin family was smuggling in secret. However, due to a lack of evidence and the fact that the Lin family had always been a dominant force in Haicheng, they could only send in undercover agents to gain their trust and eventually obtain crucial evidence."
Xu Cuihua never expected the truth to be like this; it turned out that her husband had not died, but had sacrificed himself for the country.
She covered her mouth and cried uncontrollably.
So what about all those years? Was she just unlucky?
As an outsider, she could understand Chen Jiahua; as Chen Jiahua's wife, she only felt that Chen Jiahua had gone too far!
She is his wife, how can he not consider her?
Officer Zhao's expression turned strange for a moment. "It's like this, Ms. Chen. When you submitted the evidence of the Lin family's crimes, you also submitted a letter of indictment."
“He confessed that he was a police officer, but he lured an ordinary person, namely your ex-husband, Mr. Ding Haowen, into this line of work.”
Chen Jiayi was stunned. She had previously guessed that Chen Jiahua had brought Ding Haowen to do this, but she didn't expect it to actually be true...
Officer Zhao paused for a moment, then said, "Everyone is deeply saddened by Officer Chen's death. We have learned that his biological father has passed away and his mother is still in prison. If no relatives are willing to claim Officer Chen's body, our police station can do so."
Xu Cuihua didn't know what to say for a moment. She was crying uncontrollably and had to be supported by Chen Jiayi.
Chen Jiayi did not answer immediately, but just looked at Xu Cuihua.
"Sister Cuihua, you..."
