It wasn't until she raised her hand and tossed the fragments into the air like a celestial maiden scattering flowers that the lackey finally came to his senses.
He stomped his foot in exasperation, his chest heaving, and pointed at her with a trembling hand, yelling, "You! You! You dare destroy the evidence?!"
Bai Yajing smiled faintly, "No need to thank me. I was just doing this for Chairman Jiang's own good, to prevent him from being framed like I was. I've done him a great favor!"
The lackey was so angry that his face turned red and then blue, making quite a scene.
He now understood that what she meant by saying that Chairman Jiang had made an appointment with the Japanese devils was clearly just her deliberately trying to confuse the public!
She took advantage of the fact that no one could read the words on it to talk nonsense and then destroyed the evidence!
"Hmph! Bai Yajing, destroying the evidence won't help! We've already investigated and found that you have indeed colluded with the enemy and betrayed your country!"
"Guards, take her away!"
Forget her excuses, just take her away! Once we get to their side, we'll have plenty of ways to make her confess!
Several people behind him immediately stepped forward to arrest him, but how could the people in the family compound let them do as they pleased!
"Who dares? Since you don't have concrete evidence that Comrade Bai is a traitor, you can't take her away!"
Aunt Li rushed over just now. She had gone to find her son as soon as she saw what had happened, asking him to quickly go to the military region to get reinforcements.
"That's right! You claim to have investigated thoroughly, but where's the evidence? Without evidence, it's slander! Our Ministry of State Security isn't so easily bullied!"
Bai Yajing felt a warmth in her heart seeing everyone's protection. The letter they had just written did indeed contain information about her betraying the Japanese.
But she didn't write that at all, so why should she admit it? She's just muddying the waters!
Anyway, no one here knows Japanese. Even if they did, in that split second, unless they were real Japanese, no one could have seen the contents so quickly.
So, what content above can't be fabricated at will? Since the lackeys claim it's her, can't she turn the tables and say it's Chairman Jiang behind them?
This greatly diminishes the authenticity of the letter.
She righteously tore up the so-called evidence, and she became Chairman Jiang's "benefactor".
Even if Chairman Jiang wanted to say it was her, he couldn't bring himself to say it, after all, he couldn't be "ungrateful"! This was to make him swallow his pride and suffer in silence!
"Comrades, my husband is still risking his life to carry out his mission. Is it inappropriate for you to treat his wife so rudely and unreasonably?"
At least produce some tangible evidence! Fabricating a so-called letter of treason out of thin air won't work! I won't admit to it!
After saying that, she bowed to everyone and said solemnly, "Thank you for your trust. I swear here and now that if I, Bai Yajing, have colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, may I die a horrible death!"
Furthermore, if they take me away today, and I am subsequently tortured into confessing or die a violent death, I ask you all to be witnesses and seek justice for me!
Hearing her say this, the crowd became even more indignant.
Aunt Li slapped her thigh indignantly, "Comrade Bai, we all believe in you! Just based on how many enemy spies you and your husband have caught, it's impossible that you would collude with the enemy and betray the country!"
"Exactly! Our Ministry of State Security is here to arrest enemy spies. If you're all enemy spies, then aren't we all?"
We believe you!
The crowd glared at the group, looking like they wanted to devour them.
The henchmen were so frightened by the situation that they retreated repeatedly.
We've met our match today!
Just as the situation reached a stalemate, more people arrived.
Bai Yajing saw the people approaching from afar and snorted coldly.
Is this another scheme after one failed attempt? She'll play along! The Ministry of State Security is not a pushover!
"Oh, what wind has blown you here?"
The person who came was none other than Chairman Jiang.
The old fox smiled kindly, showing no sign that he had been quietly watching them from a short distance away.
"Comrade Bai, I'm really sorry, my subordinates didn't explain it clearly."
In addition to accusing you of treason and colluding with the enemy, the whistleblower also accused you of hiding items that violated regulations and discipline.
