Xiao Shu's heart skipped a beat when she saw Shen Shuyi's confident and fearless demeanor.
Could it be... could it be that something unexpected has happened in this life?
In her previous life, Shen Shuyi went to the countryside, but in this life, she married Yan Zheng.
And...how did she get a letter severing ties with her husband?!
No, no, Shen Shuyi's parents must have fled to Hong Kong!
Based on this alone, Shen Shuyi can never clear her name!
Yan Zheng shoved the man aside and said coldly, "We won't go with you until we have concrete evidence."
The disciplinary team members were embarrassed and angry.
"This is a real-name report, how could it be fake?"
"I advise you not to make things too ugly, otherwise it will be impossible to clean up the mess."
Shen Shuyi crossed her arms in front of her. "First of all, I want to declare that I have severed ties with the Shen family. Secondly, the claim that the Shen family members fled to Hong Kong is completely unfounded. As far as I know, they have already signed up to go to the countryside in response to the country's call."
Upon hearing this, the members of the disciplinary team visibly turned pale.
But he still stubbornly insisted, "You think they can just go to the countryside like that?"
"What evidence do you have?"
Shen Shuyi countered, "Then what evidence do you have to prove they went to Hong Kong?"
The disciplinary team members choked, just then the political department arrived, and it was the director who came.
The director was brought by the institute's top leader and Yan Zheng's uncle, Commander Liu. They all risked their reputations to protect Shen Shuyi, believing that she was not the kind of person who would betray the organization.
Once everyone present had arrived, the final evidence was presented.
“I also have a piece of evidence here.”
"You can immediately call to confirm that the Shen family did indeed go to the countryside, and here are the addresses and phone numbers of the villages where they are located."
Commander Liu said sternly, “Director Fan, let’s make a call to confirm. We can’t wrong anyone.”
"At the same time, we must not let go of those who spread rumors and make false accusations that have contributed to the country and society."
The group went to Director Fan's office in a grand procession. In front of everyone, Director Fan made two phone calls, one to the Shanghai Municipal Information Department and the other to the village cadre office where the Shen family lived, to confirm that what Shen Shuyi said was true.
Director Fan slammed his hand on the table and launched into a tirade against the members of the disciplinary team.
"Who authorized you to arrest people without concrete evidence?!"
Outside, Xiao Shu subconsciously took a step back, but Wang Wen grabbed her hand, "Xiao Shu, what's going on?"
"I..." Xiao Shu stammered, unable to speak, her expression becoming dazed. Was it all just her imagination, a dream?
There was no previous life...
No! She has done a lot of research to verify the rebirth.
In her previous life, she later discovered that her father actually had an illegitimate son in their hometown who was about the same age as her! She paid someone to investigate, and indeed there was such a man, with the same name, and she also discovered that her father was secretly going to see that person.
Many other things also overlapped, confirming that she had indeed been reborn!
Shen Shuyi's side only had a slight deviation!
"Who wrote the whistleblower letter?! Make her come out and confront us!"
The members of the disciplinary team quickly brought out the letter of complaint, saying, "It's a letter of complaint written by Comrade Wang Wen herself."
If it were someone else, they would be more cautious, but Wang Wen's parents are people of status and influence, so their daughter wouldn't lie.
They were blinded by their desire to gain merit and hastily arrested people without having time to investigate the truth on the ground.
"Wang Wen, come in."
When her name was called, Wang Wen trembled as she walked in. When she turned around, she saw Xiao Shu with her head down.
Director Fan asked sternly, "Why did you fabricate rumors?"
Wang Wen trembled and confessed everything.
"I... I just don't want Commander Yan to marry someone like Shen Shuyi, who has a bad background, because I'm afraid her family background will drag Commander Yan down."
"I'm doing this all for Commander Yan's own good!"
Yan Zheng was furious. "Nonsense! She was just satisfying her own desires. Don't put all the blame on me. My lover and I are deeply in love and will not separate for anything."
Upon hearing this, Wang Wen trembled even more violently, and felt immense regret in her heart.
"I was instigated by Xiao Shu!"
"She taught me how to write this whistleblower letter. I had no idea about Shen Shuyi's family."
She turned to look at Xiao Shu, "Xiao Shu, come in quickly and explain yourself to clear my name!"
Xiao Shu's face was grim, and she remained silent. Wang Wen was truly more trouble than she was worth; what use was it to expose her now?!
Wang Wen urged, "Xiao Shu, say something! You were the one who said that Shen Shuyi's family donated money and fled to Hong Kong!"
Xiao Shu sighed, "I never said that Shen Shuyi's parents must have gone to Hong Kong. I only said that I had a dream, and you took it seriously."
Upon hearing this, Wang Wen was furious. With so many people watching, she really wanted to disappear into the ground.
But now that things have come to this, what should she do?
She never expected that Xiao Shu would abandon her at such a crucial moment.
Just as she was filled with disappointment and resentment, Xiao Shu spoke up again.
"Even though Shen Shuyi's parents went to the countryside, it is a fact that they sold off their property and were ready to run away at any time."
"I suspect that huge sum of money ended up in Shen Shuyi's hands, otherwise how come her family has meat to eat every meal?"
Suspicious glances fell on Shen Shuyi again. When they arrived at Shen Shuyi's house, they could smell the aroma of roasted meat outside the yard.
In these times, every household is struggling to make ends meet, so their extravagant lifestyle is hard not to raise suspicions.
