She recalled Zhan Xiuchen's tenderness towards the stir-fried bok choy in the White Jade Palace.
And then there's the word "sister-in-law".
Based on her understanding of Zhan Xiuchen, she knew that Zhan Xiuchen wouldn't do something without a reason.
He must have his reasons.
After thinking for a while, Zhan Pingting dialed her subordinate's number.
She ordered her subordinates to investigate Shi Nian's bottom line.
“Miss Zhan, we already investigated last time,” the subordinate said. “She’s just an ordinary woman from a poor neighborhood.”
Zhan Pingting gave a cold laugh.
She gave up after hearing that reply last time.
I didn't investigate that woman any further.
But now she knows that things are definitely not that simple.
"Investigate thoroughly!" Zhan Pingting said, "Find out their home addresses, their relationships with others, everything! No detail is too small! Absolutely nothing can be overlooked!"
........
Meanwhile, the regulatory office.
This is the temporary residence for prisoners in the slums.
All criminals who have not yet been convicted are temporarily being held here.
Meanwhile, when no one was paying attention, the supervisor secretly went to a corner and made a phone call.
The call was to Lin Xiaoying.
After the call connected, the supervisor said helplessly, "Madam, do you think we should continue to detain him? A few pieces of paper don't prove anything, and besides, the child is so young! It's not right to keep him locked up like this!"
The regulators are also in a difficult position.
He received a report yesterday.
It is said that someone is spreading harmful ideas.
The evidence turned out to be just a few torn pieces of paper!
Oh, right!
There's another child!
The problem is that the child absolutely refuses to tell!
They insisted that the paper was found!
Nobody gave it to her!
This put him in a difficult position!
Moreover, it is indeed wrong for such texts to be spread in slums!
But it's not some heinous crime.
He originally intended to give the child a few words of advice and then leave it at that.
But then he received a call from Lin Xiaoying.
Lin Xiaoying's meaning was quite clear.
The investigation needs to be repeated!
We must find out who's behind this!
Although Lin Xiaoying is not a big shot, her daughter is Shi Yu!
Shiyu is a big star!
This rain, however, knows some important people!
Therefore, we must give Lin Xiaoying face no matter what!
On the other end of the phone, Lin Xiaoying snorted: "I told you, the one who spread this is Shi Nian, my other daughter. As a mother, I've already turned down a family member for the greater good! You're a law enforcement officer in the slums! Are you just going to ignore Shi Nian's crimes like this?!"
Supervisor: "......."
This was the first time he had ever seen such a cruel mother!
He insisted on locking his own daughter up!
The supervisor said, "Mrs. Lin, everything needs evidence. The little girl didn't say that Shi Nian gave it to her. You see, we can't just come to arrest her like this."
"Won't talk? Can't you find a way to make her talk!" Lin Xiaoying said, "A seven or eight-year-old girl! How stubborn can she be! Just think of a way!"
The regulator immediately looked troubled.
........
Meanwhile, Xiao Hu came to the detention center to see Xiao Cao.
He knew one of the supervisors at the regulatory office.
That's why I was able to get in.
Seeing the little grass, Little Tiger's face was full of anxiety and unease.
Instead, Xiaocao comforted Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, it's okay. I'm very well-behaved. The supervisor will let me out if he sees that I'm being good. I might be able to get out in the next couple of days. Don't worry about me."
Little Tiger approached the little grass.
He heard why Xiaocao had been arrested.
Xiao Hu lowered his voice: "Xiao Cao, was it Sister Niannian? Did Sister Niannian show you those things?"
The little grass immediately shushed.
She shook her head at Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, don't talk nonsense, Nian Nian will be arrested."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hu's heart sank.
It really is Sister Nian Nian.
This made Xiaohu stomp his feet.
Sister Nian Nian has always been smart!
How could you do something so foolish!
How could she show those things to the little grass!
Xiao Hu couldn't help but say, "Sister Niannian shouldn't have done that. She's hurting you!"
The little blade of grass immediately started shaking like a rattle drum.
She said, "No, no, no, Xiao Hu! Niannian didn't harm me. She understands me. She knows that my current life is stagnant and meaningless!"
"That's why Niannian showed me those words! She gave me hope!"
"She's making me realize that the world shouldn't be the way it is now!"
As she spoke, a light shone in the little grass's eyes.
Xiao Hu scratched his head.
He couldn't understand what the little grass was saying.
But that's always been the case.
Although the grass was about the same size as him, it seemed to have matured a lot.
He often says things that he doesn't understand.
Therefore, Xiaocao and Sister Niannian can be friends.
But they are just Nian Nian's younger brother and sister.
........
After Xiaohu left, the supervisor who had been talking to Lin Xiaoying arrived.
He took a long whip and swung it heavily in front of the grass, pretending to do it.
"Tell me! Who gave you those papers? Otherwise, this whipping is no joke!"
The little grass stretched out its two hands.
The little white hand was stretched out in front of the supervisor, and the voice still had a touch of childishness unique to that age: "Uncle, there's really no one to give it to me, but if it can make you feel better, you can hit me."
