The officers from the Public Security Bureau and a leader from the military hospital arrived very quickly.
Faced with irrefutable evidence, such as the testimonies of neighbors and the statements of the Guan family, any defense Lin Wei offered seemed weak and powerless.
She tried to rush up to Guan Wenru and beg for mercy, but was sternly stopped by the police officers.
Guan Wenru maintained a cold expression throughout, making it clear that she would not accept any form of private settlement and demanded that the organization handle the matter fairly and in accordance with the rules, so as to restore her brother and family's complete innocence.
The police officers took detailed statements from each of the neighbors and members of the Guan family present.
The hospital leaders were embarrassed to see their subordinates make such a scene, and they repeatedly apologized to the Guan family elders and He Yanzhi, promising to deal with the matter seriously.
In the end, under the complicated gazes of her neighbors, Lin Wei was led away from the alley.
...
The matter was handled swiftly and decisively.
A few days later, feedback from several sources reached the Guan family.
Lin Wei was dismissed from the military hospital for misconduct and fabricating facts to defame others, causing a negative social impact. In accordance with relevant regulations and her own wishes, her work relationship and household registration were transferred back to her original place of residence.
This means that she will almost certainly have no chance to stay in the capital with a legitimate reason, let alone entangle herself with Guan Hongqi.
The heavy weight that had been pressing on the hearts of the whole family was finally lifted.
...
That evening, Guan Yuanxiu and Qin Yue specially prepared a table of delicious dishes, which were just as good as those served during the New Year.
"Mom and Dad, sister, brother-in-law, I'm back." Guan Hongqi, carrying his simple suitcase, stood in the main room of the courtyard house again, his face showing a relieved ease and the warmth of a wanderer returning home.
"It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back!" Qin Yue stepped forward and took her son's hand, her eyes slightly red, but this time she was happy.
Guan Yuanxiu patted his son's shoulder forcefully, everything understood without words.
The triplets cheered and surrounded him, "Uncle! You're finally back! Now we can do our homework together again!"
Guan Hongqi preferred to live alone, but he returned here because he wanted to take charge of the triplets' homework so that his sister, brother-in-law, and parents could have an easier time.
At dinner time, the family sat around the round table, enjoying a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
Guan Hongqi picked up the wine glass in front of him, which contained a little bit of white wine that He Yanzhi had poured for him.
His expression was solemn as his gaze swept over each family member.
"Mom and Dad!" he said, bowing to his parents first. "Your son is unfilial. I have caused you both worry and caused you any distress during this time."
He drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Then, he looked at Guan Wenru and He Yanzhi, his tone full of gratitude, "Sister, brother-in-law, this time we owe you so much. If it weren't for your decisiveness and quick thinking, Sister, that you brought things out into the open."
"If it weren't for you, brother-in-law, standing by and contacting all parties to set the record straight, I don't know how badly Lin Wei would have messed things up, and I might have been completely smeared."
He poured himself a little more wine, raised it, and said, "This glass is to thank my sister and brother-in-law for their protection! I'll drink it!"
Guan Wenru looked at him with eyes full of relief and said softly, "Silly boy, why are you being so polite with us? We're family, we should support each other and get through this together."
He Yanzhi also raised his glass, "It's all in the past now. Through this experience, you've gained a clearer understanding of the wickedness of people's hearts, and you'll be more composed in your dealings with others in the future."
Guan Hongqi nodded heavily.
Finally, he looked at his three nephews who were engrossed in their food, especially He Sheng, and patted him on the head with a smile, "And you three little guys, you bravely stood up to protect your little uncle that day, thank you!"
With his mouth full of braised pork, He Sheng mumbled, but his face was filled with pride, "Uncle, don't be afraid! We'll protect you!"
The whole family laughed upon hearing this, and all the gloom and unhappiness vanished in the warm reunion dinner and joyful laughter.
......
In the stillness of the night, only the chirping of insects could be heard in the courtyard.
After washing up, Guan Wenru returned to the east wing, feeling refreshed and carrying a faint scent of soap.
Inside the room, He Yanzhi was leaning against the headboard reading a book, the soft light from the desk lamp outlining the strong profile of his face.
With a relaxed smile on her face, Guan Wenru dried her hair with a towel as she walked to the dressing table and sat down, her tone light and cheerful:
"Great, the Red Flag issue is finally resolved, and a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders."
Also, the renovations for the clothing stores I chose have all been inspected and approved today. We can start preparing for the opening in a few days.
He Yanzhi put down the book in his hand and looked at her gently. "You really don't need my help? On opening day, I'll take a day off to help you set up shop?"
Guan Wenru smiled at him in the mirror and shook her head. "Really, there's no need. You have a lot of things to do in the military region. I've already arranged the staff, supplies, and procedures for the store."
She picked up a bottle of face cream from the table and continued, "By the way, many educated youth are returning to the city now, and many young people are having trouble finding suitable jobs and are feeling anxious."
In addition to the regular full-time employees, I plan to hire some hourly workers for each store, and pay them on a daily basis.
Although the pay isn't much and the work might be varied, it can help them get through tough times and get through their immediate difficulties. Helping as many people as possible is always good.
As He Yanzhi listened to his wife's words, his eyes were filled with admiration and an indescribable emotion.
He put down his book, stood up and walked behind her, gently placing his hands on her shoulders, which were clad in a thin nightgown. He gazed at her through the mirror, saying, "Sometimes, in front of you, I even feel ashamed of myself."
"Hmm?" Guan Wenru was about to unscrew the cap of the face cream when she heard this and paused, looking up at him in the mirror with some confusion.
