Professor Yue chimed in, "Yes, Pingwei, are you mistaken? Keqi really did stay in her room all day without going out."
Gu Pingwei believed Professor Yue, but not Yue Keqi.
He specifically asked Chen Hong to ask the driver.
Two people got off the bus at that time from the small fishing village.
Jiang Jingxue went first.
The other person, although wearing a hat, looked very much like Yue Keqi based on the driver's description of her height, build, and clothing style.
"I'll ask you one more time, where exactly is Jiang Jingxue?!"
"Brother Pingwei, I really haven't seen Jiang Jingxue. What if she ran off with some man? You never know!"
Gu Pingwei asked Yue Keqi several times, but she still denied ever seeing Jiang Jingxue in the small fishing village.
Gu Pingwei lost his patience and ordered Chen Hong to send a few people downstairs to keep watch.
Professor Yue was also somewhat shocked by the scene.
"Pingwei, what are you doing?"
Gu Pingwei's expression was stern as he spoke, word by word: "The world has been in turmoil lately. My fiancée has disappeared in broad daylight! I've sent men here to protect Miss Yue's safety! We'll withdraw our troops once my fiancée is found!"
Gu Pingwei spoke with absolute confidence.
But anyone could hear the threat in his tone.
He was clearly forcing Yue Keqi to admit that Jiang Jingxue's disappearance was related to her.
At this moment, Yue Keqi felt somewhat flustered.
Pingwei went straight to her house. Could there really be evidence that she had been to the small fishing village?
Just then, Qin Liang came upstairs and said, "Major, news has come from the Gu residence that Madam has returned."
Gu Pingwei was immediately surprised and delighted: "Really?"
Qin Liang nodded affirmatively.
"Professor Yue, I apologize for disturbing you earlier."
Yue Keqi felt relieved and scolded, "Pingwei, we've known each other for so many years, yet you're becoming more and more heartless towards others. You suspect me at the slightest thing!"
Gu Pingwei ignored her, said goodbye to Professor Yue, and immediately headed to the Gu residence.
After Gu Pingwei left, Yue Keqi breathed a sigh of relief.
She quickly returned to her room, threw the clothes she had changed out of at the beach during the day into the washing machine, and secretly washed them clean.
Gu Pingwei returned home.
Jiang Jingxue was taking a hot shower in her room, and Tang Qiuzhu was helping her.
Chen Hong stood guard outside the room.
"Chen Hong, how is Madam? What exactly happened?"
"When the lady returned, she was soaking wet and her face was pale."
"My wife said that she was pushed into the water at the beach of the small fishing village. She was swept far away by the waves and swam desperately to save her life. The place where she came ashore was about ten kilometers away from the small fishing village, which is why we have not been able to find her."
Hearing about Jiang Jingxue's ordeal, Gu Pingwei felt extremely distressed.
However, I was secretly relieved that she was able to return safely.
Just then, the door opened and Tang Qiuzhu came out.
She was annoyed and complained, "Pingwei, why didn't you send someone to protect Jingxue? Luckily, my daughter-in-law is alive and well. If anything had happened to her, I would never forgive you!"
Gu Pingwei also felt guilty for not being more insistent on having someone go with Jiang Jingxue at the time.
He immediately wheeled himself into the room, wanting to see Jiang Jingxue.
at this time.
Jiang Jingxue had just finished showering and was wearing pajamas, wrapped in a blanket, nestled in bed, holding a bowl and drinking ginger soup.
She kept sneezing and looked like she had caught a cold.
Jiang Jingxue's face was pale, and she had lost her usual spirit.
Seeing her like this, Gu Pingwei felt incredibly sorry for her.
He stroked her cheek.
"I'm sorry, it was my oversight this time, I failed to protect you."
Tell me, who pushed you into the water?
"Yue Keqi".
Jiang Jingxue remembers that when she was pushed into the water, she saw Yue Keqi on the shore.
She never imagined that Yue Keqi hated her so much that she would do something like this.
Last time, in the small fishing village, she always felt that someone was following her. It was probably Yue Keqi, wasn't it?
Fortunately, she had learned to swim in her previous life, which saved her life.
Tang Qiuzhu followed Gu Pingwei into the room.
Upon hearing Yue Keqi's name, she was the first to feel indignant.
"How could Yue Keqi do such a thing! After all these years of friendship, how could she be so cruel to my daughter-in-law? No way, I will never swallow this!"
Gu Xinguo, Gu's father, was also furious when he heard about this.
This is, after all, a matter of life and death.
Now that Jiang Jingxue has come to the Gu family, she is a member of the Gu family.
How can you not seek justice when your own family member was almost killed by someone else?
The Gu family, along with Jiang Jingxue, arrived at the Yue family's residence in a menacing manner.
Professor Yue opened the door and was somewhat surprised to see so many people.
"Lieutenant General Gu, what brings you here?"
You know, it's rare for something to warrant Mr. Gu's intervention.
Before Gu Xinguo could speak, Tang Qiuzhu interjected, "Professor Yue, do you know that your daughter pushed my daughter-in-law into the sea? She almost killed her!"
If it were just now, when Gu Pingwei came alone to question Yue Keqi, Professor Yue might have thought there might be a mistake.
But now, the entire Gu family has arrived.
They won't act rashly without absolute certainty.
Professor Yue realized that Yue Keqi might have really gotten into trouble.
Professor Yue called Yue Keqi out.
"Yue Keqi, did you go to the small fishing village today? Also, did you push Comrade Jiang into the sea?"
Even at this point, Yue Keqi was still denying it.
"Dad, I didn't. I've stayed in my room the whole time and haven't gone out, you know that!"
Jiang Jingxue immediately recognized the clothes she had hung on the balcony.
"Yue Keqi, you went to the small fishing village today wearing this outfit."
"You! You're talking nonsense!"
Yue Keqi will continue to be a shameless rogue to the end, refusing to admit anything no matter what.
"Jiang Jingxue, why are you always targeting me? You've already gotten Pingwei, what more do you want? I've never even been to the fishing village, why are you framing me?"
Yue Keqi looked aggrieved and spoke with great seriousness.
“Brother Pingwei, Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu, you have to believe me! I really didn’t do such a thing. It’s this woman who’s of unknown origin and has wicked intentions. Maybe this is all a self-directed and self-acted ploy to sow discord between us.”
Yue Keqi attempted to clear her name by smearing Jiang Jingxue.
Jiang Jingxue snorted coldly.
"Yue Keqi, you said you've never been to a small fishing village, is that right?"
She went straight to the bathroom, opened the washing machine's drain pipe, and found a layer of fine sand inside.
That's the kind of fine sand you only find on the beaches of small fishing villages.
"Since you've never been to the beach, why are there these things on your clothes?"
