Analyzing solely from the perspective of Yang Lu and Xue Mei's social relationships, although Yang Lu has a complex social network, she has basically not offended anyone, and with friends like Jiang Ning, no one would be foolish enough to go against her.
Xue Mei is different; she has an complicated relationship with Xu Jie and is Lucy's mortal enemy.
If it weren't for the fact that she was pregnant with Xu Jie's child, Xu's mother wouldn't have liked her either.
After Lucy used tricks to seize Xu Jie's house, he caused trouble for her. Later, for some reason, he stopped coming and stayed at home to take care of his pregnancy.
As Xu Jie's first wife, how could Lucy allow another woman to give birth to Xu Jie's child?
In that case, Lucy is the prime suspect.
After hearing Jiang Ning's analysis, Wang Xiufen and Yang Lu both felt it made sense.
However, neither of them had ever seen Lucy and didn't know what she looked like. If they could see her from behind again, they might be able to recognize her.
Jiang Ning: "That's easy. I'll find someone to take a picture of her or record a video."
As they were talking, their car had already arrived at the entrance of the courtyard house.
Wang Xiufen helped Yang Lu out of the car, and together with Jiang Ning, they helped her back home.
"Mom, we're back."
When she returned to the living room, Jiang Ning habitually called out to the room.
Normally, if Ji Min is home alone, the TV will be on for her to watch.
If she's not watching TV, she's sleeping in her room.
Jiang Ning called out as she entered the room, but the bed was empty; there was no one there.
She quickly came out and shouted into the yard.
I called for several minutes, but received no response.
At this point, Wang Xiufen also became anxious and joined the search.
Finally, they found her in the innermost courtyard, under the osmanthus tree.
She was holding a bowl and picking up osmanthus flowers to put into it!
She pretended to be very serious and didn't hear anyone calling her at all.
Seeing that she was unharmed, Jiang Ning silently went over and helped her pick up the small flowers on the ground and put them into a bowl.
Wang Xiufen came over, rubbing the hem of her clothes to express her apology.
"Ningning, I won't leave her home alone anymore. What if she gets lost?"
Jiang Ning comforted her mother-in-law, "Mom, don't blame yourself. If my mother had gone with you, she would have been even more likely to get lost in a situation like today. Anyway, she's in the yard, she can't fly away."
Despite saying that, Jiang Ning still went back to her room and made a cloth bag. Inside, she put a card with Ji Min's home address and phone number on it. The card also promised a reward of one thousand yuan and a job to anyone who could take her home.
Although the average wage increased significantly in 1987, a thousand yuan was still a considerable sum, especially considering the job opportunities available. Any normal person would choose to send the person back.
She sewed the cloth bag onto Ji Min's coat.
Ji Min was unaware of all that had happened; she simply handed a full pot of flowers to Jiang Ning and let her smell them.
The refreshing fragrance of osmanthus blossoms is delightful and invigorating.
When everyone returned in the evening and heard about Yang Lu's situation, they all expressed their support for her and said they would not let the bad guys get away with it.
Jiang Ning has also hired someone to film Lucy, and he believes that the culprit will be found soon.
The next morning, while everyone was still asleep, Gao Baoliang returned.
Yang Lu went back to the courtyard house at No. 89 to sleep that night. When Gao Baoliang returned, no one else knew.
Around 7 o'clock, he brought Yang Lu over.
He still hoped that Yang Lu could stay with Wang Xiufen, at least that would be safer.
"Alright, go to sleep. Don't worry about me."
Knowing that Yang Lu had someone with her, he could finally go back to his room to sleep without worry.
It wasn't until noon, after he had slept enough, that he rushed over and learned about Yang Lu's situation at the hospital.
He slammed his fist on the table, immediately turning his hand bright red.
Yang Lu was relieved that he didn't mention the hospital immediately when he returned.
Otherwise, how could he possibly sleep well?
"Lulu, every time I go out, something happens to you. It seems I should go on fewer business trips in the future."
He finally found himself an excuse not to go on business trips.
Just then, a guest arrived at the courtyard. A photographer, as instructed by Jiang Ning, brought over the photos he had taken.
Gao Baoliang took the photos, thanked the photographer, and then handed them to Yang Lu.
Yang Lu and Wang Xiufen studied the photo, looking at it from the front, side, and back; it really did look seven or eight parts like the person.
Wang Xiufen deliberately covered her mouth and nose and looked at her again. She was almost certain that the person who pushed Yang Lu that day was Lucy.
She quickly called Jiang Ning to tell her about her discovery.
Jiang Ning also told them that Xue Mei had finished her surgery and that she had survived, but she had lost her baby.
I estimate that once she wakes up, she will give a statement and seek compensation from Yang Lu.
It is estimated that Yang Lu will be summoned to the police station again in the afternoon.
Yang Lu expressed her regret for the child, but she was not afraid to confront them. With Bao Liang by her side, she was not afraid of anything.
In the afternoon, the phone rang as expected, and Yang Lu and Gao Baoliang arrived at the police station as agreed.
Xue Mei was still in the hospital, so Xu's mother came on her behalf to discuss compensation.
"Xue Mei lost a child, which is a heavy blow to her. She is demanding 20,000 yuan in compensation from you," Xu's mother said coldly.
Yang Lu sat in a chair, propped her elbows on the table, and threw Lucy's photo out.
"The person you saw yesterday, is she the one in the photo? She's your daughter-in-law, how could you not recognize her? You're just pretending not to know her to try and extort money from me."
