At the entrance of a police station in the eastern part of Jinyang City, the glorious national emblem occupies the most conspicuous position, shining on the faces of every passerby under the sunlight, a symbol of glory and honor.
Young people in police uniforms came and went, flipping through the documents in their hands, making a rustling sound.
"Everyone has worked hard. Go back and rest now, and be on time for work tomorrow morning." Captain Zhou clapped his hands to attract attention and shouted, which drew cheers from the crowd.
"Time to go home..." The officers, who had been busy all day, stretched and yawned, their faces showing relaxed smiles, and left the police station in twos and threes, arms around each other's shoulders.
In the corner, at the computer desk, the light from the computer was particularly dazzling, shining on a person's face and making him look even paler. The heavy dark circles under his eyes made him look like a national treasure of China.
Upon hearing the captain's voice, the man immediately stood up, grabbed his coat, and strode away without hesitation, disappearing in a flash like the wind.
"Huh?" Zhou Zheng turned around and the person disappeared in an instant. He couldn't help but make a sound of doubt and some annoyance. He had originally thought that the other person seemed to be in a bad state these days and wanted to have a good talk with him, but he didn't expect the person to run away faster than a rabbit.
The small tram was already moving at lightning speed in his hands, but the clerk's face was still anxious, which looked slightly scary given his national treasure-like appearance.
Beep beep—Because he was too focused on the car horn, the junior employee didn't notice that a car had grazed him and knocked him to the ground. His eyes rolled back and he immediately fainted.
When he opened his eyes again, the smell of disinfectant filled his nostrils, making his already dizzy head even more foggy. With strong willpower, Wuyou finally opened his eyes. What he saw was a white ceiling, the blinding white making him squint slightly.
After getting used to the bright light, I turned my head to look out the window. The sky was gradually turning dark, and the moon was already hanging on the branches.
"Hiss..." Subconsciously, Wuyou tried to sit up, but her right arm went limp and she almost fell back down.
Not long after, the phone rang incessantly, calling again and again, relentlessly, but Wuyou ignored it completely. She struggled to sit up, closed her eyes, and began to organize the memories in her mind.
The original owner, Li Wuyou, came from an ordinary family with modest means. After graduating from police academy, he was fortunate enough to join the local police station as a second-level police officer, responsible for tasks such as organizing data and handling patrols. He was slightly shy but hardworking and reliable. Although he didn't stand out, he was able to make a living.
The only truly worthwhile and unexpected thing in his life was marrying a beautiful woman named Zhang Wenxiu. The two met through a blind date and got their marriage certificate two months later.
Zhang Wenxiu is exquisitely beautiful, petite and charming, with a soft and lovely voice; she would be considered a goddess even in public. She works selling cosmetics at a company counter, is eloquent and persuasive, and achieves good sales results.
Logically, such an outstanding girl shouldn't have any connection with a typical honest man like Li Wuyou, yet the two of them naturally became husband and wife. For a while, there was a saying online: "When you're tired of playing around, just find an honest man to marry!"
Having married such an outstanding woman, the original owner naturally cherished and loved her dearly, taking care of all the housework. To support his wife, he worked tirelessly every day, raising his son and turning himself into a workhorse.
Not long after the marriage, Zhang Wenxiu discovered she was pregnant, but the pregnancy was unstable, so she quit her job and stayed home to rest. After that, to relax, she spent half of each month traveling.
Later, Zhang Wenxiu gave birth to a son, whom the original owner named Li Jingtian. The incident occurred when the son was seven years old; the original owner was arrested while working and imprisoned.
The crime was murder and robbery, but when his wife, whom he cherished, was in trouble, she not only did not help him, but even testified in court that the original owner had committed the murder, and the person killed was someone the original owner did not even know.
It turns out that Zhang Wenxiu had an affair with a wealthy man when she was young, but he had a domineering wife and dared not divorce her. After becoming pregnant, Zhang Wenxiu hoped to gain status through her child, so she sought out the original owner of the body as a "sucker."
Later, Zhang Wenxiu continued her relationship with the wealthy man, and they would spend time together almost every now and then. However, the wealthy man dared not acknowledge Li Jingtian and was only willing to give her some pocket money.
Zhang Wenxiu could only remain a mistress in the shadows. The wealthy man also loathed his wife, and the two conspired to murder the woman and pin the crime on the original owner of the body.
Although the original owner refused to admit it, the evidence was conclusive, and he could not escape the charge no matter what. He spent the rest of his life in prison and died a violent death in a turmoil. Meanwhile, his wife enjoyed a life of wealth and had long forgotten about him, the honest man.
The original owner believed he loved his wife dearly and took great care of his son, handling all the household affairs himself. However, because of his incompetence and honesty, he became the target of these people's wanton bullying, which he could not accept.
Isn't this how most ordinary couples are? They work diligently and live busy lives, but their wives, unwilling to live such a mediocre life, betray them countless times, and in the end, even pin the crime of murder on them.
Li Wuyou hopes to divorce Zhang Wenxiu and make them and that wealthy man pay the price; she wants to become an outstanding person, no longer be looked down upon, and no longer be bullied because she is an honest person.
The system's words interrupted Wuyou's train of thought. She nodded slightly, opened her eyes, and saw the flashing screen. It showed that she had received more than a dozen phone calls, presumably from Zhang Wenxiu urging her to go home and cook.
Wuyou silenced her phone to avoid seeing it. Just then, the door to the ward opened, and a beautiful woman walked in. She was wearing a light blue knit sweater over jeans, with a slender and upright figure. Her slightly wavy hair was loose down her back, and she exuded a mature and stunning charm.
"You're finally awake. You seem to be recovering quite well. I'm so sorry I bumped into you. I've already paid the medical bills. Just relax and recover here. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know. Here's my phone number." The woman spoke rapidly and clearly, and finally wrote her phone number on a slip of paper and handed it to Wuyou.
"It's alright. I was indeed a bit distracted before, which led to this incident. It's not entirely your fault." Wuyou smiled and shook his head. These days, he had cases to work on at the police station, and his wife was newly pregnant and needed someone to take care of her. He was busy with everything and was mentally exhausted, so it was inevitable that something would happen. It wasn't the other person's fault.
"I was worried you might try to scam me, but I didn't expect you to be so easy to talk to. My name is Fang Yan, and I'm a reporter for a newspaper. It's nice to meet you." Fang Yan smiled easily. As a journalist, she was naturally aware of certain negative social phenomena and had been genuinely worried.
"He's a reporter!" Wuyou's eyes flickered.
