After Xu Cuihua had cried enough, she stood up, supporting herself.
She looked at the face that had died peacefully, and tears streamed down her face.
In fact, over the years, she has always felt that someone is watching her in the dark.
There's something else Xu Cuihua has never told Chen Jiayi.
When her father-in-law secretly watched her take a bath, and she discovered it, Chen Xiaowei actually tried to force himself on her.
It was Chen Jiahua's appearance that saved her.
Even though Chen Jiahua was wearing a mask at the time, how could she not recognize her husband?
Xu Cuihua covered her face and wept bitterly, her voice choked with sobs.
"I am still his wife in name only, and I will collect his body."
For a moment, no one spoke.
Chen Jiayi sat outside, looking dazed, and Officer Zhao sat down next to her.
He gave a simple, honest smile. "Chen Jiayi, I got promoted. I was transferred from Lianhua Town to the city. The first case I took on after arriving in the city was about a brother who killed the bully who was protecting his sister."
Officer Zhao paused, unsure whether he was comforting himself or Chen Jiayi.
"Those of us in this line of work are the people we feel most sorry for."
His eyes were downcast, and he exuded a sense of loss.
“My wife was very unhappy when she found out I had been promoted to a job in the city. She kept throwing a tantrum and didn’t want me to come to the city. But in the end, she came with me anyway.”
“When I went on my first mission, I was stabbed four times by the murderer. I spent half a month in the hospital and then two months recuperating at home.”
Chen Jiayi looked at Officer Zhao, who was none other than Zhao Dezhu from Lianhua Town.
Seeing Chen Jiayi's confused look, he couldn't help but give a wry smile.
“I know I have let my wife down, but I cannot let my housekeeper down. Since I am a police officer, a comrade who serves the people, I must do my job well.”
"Sacrifice the small family for the greater good."
Chen Jiayi's eyes grew increasingly confused.
So, does your brother think the same way?
Actually, her brother also chose to abandon her back then, right?
Going undercover requires not only giving up one's own identity, but also one's family.
For everyone...
Chen Jiayi suddenly smiled.
She had very mixed feelings, resenting Chen Jiahua on one hand, and feeling sad on the other.
Tears streamed down Chen Jiayi's face, and she quickly reached out to wipe them away.
Perhaps Chen Jiahua still loves her!
After learning that Ding Haowen had cheated on her, she chose to seduce him and his wife.
Is this a different way of helping her get revenge?
But did Chen Jiahua know that his family didn't want him to do this, and even less did they want him to go undercover?
You're doing this for everyone, but what about our little family?
After a moment of silence, Xu Cuihua came out.
Seeing that the two had calmed down, Officer Zhao said in a calm voice.
"Actually, we do not recommend that Ms. Xu collect Mr. Chen's body. There are still members of the Lin family who have not been caught, and we are worried that Ms. Xu will be targeted."
The Lin family, it's the Lin family again.
A cold glint flashed in Chen Jiayi's eyes. "You found Chen Jiahua, but you didn't catch Lin Yuyao, right?"
Lin Yuyao was in charge of all the Lin family's private affairs, and Chen Jiahua's death was definitely related to Lin Yuyao.
"Yes, perhaps Lin Yuyao still had some genuine feelings for Chen Jiahua. After Chen Jiahua's death, she hired many sorcerers, claiming they wanted to resurrect Chen Jiahua. None of the initial sorcerers succeeded, and they were all killed by Lin Yuyao."
"When the fortune teller was found later, she knew that most of her colleagues had recently disappeared and never returned. She wisely ran away and chose to call the police."
"However, when we arrived, there were only a few corpses left."
Lin Yuyao!
A flash of hatred crossed Chen Jiayi's eyes. It was her again.
She caused Wang Yu to become paralyzed back then, and now she's caused Chen Jiahua's death.
Everything is related to Lin Yuyao!
Lin Yuyao is just an ordinary person, so why is she able to do so many heinous things?
"Officer Zhao, thank you."
Chen Jiayi turned to look at Xu Cuihua, her tone somewhat complicated.
“Sister Cuihua, my brother has been missing for so many years. He's back now, but he's already passed away. I don't want you to be targeted because of him…”
Xu Cuihua understood Chen Jiayi's meaning. Although she had little contact with Chen Jiayi in Haicheng over the past two years, Xu Cuihua had always been grateful.
She shook her head, rejecting Chen Jiayi's underlying meaning.
"Jiayi, I know. But he is my husband."
Seeing Xu Cuihua's stubbornness, Chen Jiayi sighed.
The only option was for the police officer to escort Xu Cuihua back to Chen Jiahua's body.
At the same time, Xu Cuihua had to wear a mask the whole time to hide herself.
They need to be vigilant along the way and avoid being targeted by others.
Otherwise, if Xu Cuihua is targeted by Lin Yuyao's people, Lin Yuyao will cause trouble for her.
...Lin Yuyao.
Chen Jiayi had silently repeated this name in her heart countless times. She had wavered in her thoughts of changing her major, but Chen Jiayi knew that even if she became a police officer, she might not be able to catch Lin Yuyao.
In the past, the Lin family held absolute power in Haicheng. Even after the Lin family fell, there were still many people who followed them.
Chen Jiayi was well aware of this, which is why she had been secretly searching for Chen Jiahua all along.
But she never expected that her brother would be murdered in his own city.
Chen Jiayi closed her eyes and remained silent the entire way back.
When Chen Jiayi returned to the Chen family home, she saw her parents looking at her with worried expressions, and she immediately broke down in tears.
Just like before she got married, Chen Jiayi rushed into her mother's arms.
She bit her lip, feeling extremely distressed.
"Mom, Dad."
Lan Meixuan reached out and patted Chen Jiayi's back reassuringly.
"Your grandparents' death anniversary is coming up soon. If you're really upset, after you send your brother off, let's go to the north of the city to relax."
Chen Jiayi nodded and hugged her mother tightly.
Her mother's embrace was very warm, just like when her adoptive parents beat and scolded Chen Jiayi, her brother always stood in front of her, sheltering her from the wind and rain.
But now, the person who sheltered her from the wind and rain is gone.
Although Chen Jiayi knew that Chen Jiahua might already be gone, she still found it hard to accept the reality.
Chen Qiming's expression was serious. "This time, Lin Yuyao has exposed herself. I estimate that she has really escaped Haicheng. Whether it's by land, air, or water, everyone is keeping an eye on the Lin family members who have fled."
It's not just officials keeping an eye on the Lin family; many people are also secretly watching them.
After all, if they successfully capture the person, they can get a reward.
Chen Jiayi hummed in agreement, and Lan Meixuan reached out and gently wiped away Chen Jiayi's tear-streaked face.
"By the way, where's Xiao Shen?"
Chen Jiayi then realized that she had forgotten to tell Shen Jialiang when she came out.
She said shyly, "Mom, I forgot to tell Shen Jialiang that I'm back."
Lan Meixuan gave Chen Jiayi a charming glare, but she didn't blame her. She just asked Chen Qiming to call Shen Jialiang's workplace to let him know.
