The more intense Wu Zhenmei's reaction, the more guilty she must be.
Seeing her reaction, Xiao Fang sneered inwardly, dragged her into the police station, and locked her in the interrogation room.
No matter how much she denied it, she couldn't escape the police investigation, and the police quickly brought Wu Zhendong to confirm her identity.
————
On the other side, after Yuan Mengge dropped Wu Zhenmei off at the Public Security Bureau, she received a notification that the mission was completed that morning.
The reward has arrived.
After completing a scheduled task, she would give herself a day off and rest for one night.
Attending classes as usual, living a normal campus life.
"Have you heard? A big case has happened in my town recently!" Wei Jingting said to everyone as soon as she arrived at the dormitory on Sunday.
"What major case?" Everyone turned to look at her curiously.
Wei Jingting said, "There's a village called Dahe near me. I heard that the police dug up a lot of dead bodies in the nearby rubber plantation."
"What? They dug up a lot of dead bodies? What happened? Was it a murder? Has the murderer been caught?" Su Yue asked her curiously.
The others also looked on with curiosity, staring intently at her and asking questions.
"Right? Has the murderer been caught? A dead body was dug up from a rubber plantation? Was it a buried body?"
"Wow! Didn't you have a serial killer over there? What kind of people died? It's terrifying."
"Yeah! If the criminals aren't caught, won't they keep killing people? That's terrifying!"
Wei Jingting said, "I don't know anything else, I only know that they dug up more than ten dead bodies, and they were all in a rubber plantation. It's terrifying, I heard that the rubber plantation is now haunted..."
"It's not surprising that it's haunted! After all, so many dead people are buried there. If that were the case, the owner of that rubber plantation wouldn't dare to tap rubber anymore. Could the murderer be the owner of that rubber plantation?"
"Probably not? Who would bury a dead person in their own yard? If the truth comes out one day, wouldn't I be the first person suspected? That murderer wouldn't be that stupid, would he?"
"Indeed... but who knows, who knows, it might even be the master?"
Yuan Mengge listened to their discussion without saying anything, and simply read her book quietly.
"By the way, Ping, we're going out to exchange books later, do you want to come?" Wei Jingting suddenly asked, looking in Yuan Mengge's direction.
Yuan Mengge thought for a moment after hearing this, and nodded: "Okay. I was just thinking of going out to buy some things too."
When Wei Jingting mentioned exchanging books, she meant renting novels from a bookstore and exchanging them for new ones after finishing reading them.
Yuan Mengge thought for a moment and realized that she had finished all her middle school entrance exam practice books and needed to buy new ones.
Since they didn't plan to eat in the cafeteria that evening, they didn't go out until after 4 p.m.
Besides Wei Jingting, Guo Ju also went out with them.
After the three left the dormitory, Chen Xiaofeng and the others in the dormitory suddenly said, "Have they become too nice lately?"
"Huh? Who?... Oh, you mean Yuan Pingping and Jingting?"
"Right? They even went to their homeroom teacher's house for dinner together last time. And when Shen Jiayi and her friends stole Yuan Pingping's test paper, Jingting also testified for them. Their relationship has improved since then, hasn't it?"
"It seems so."
Su Yue said, "Yuan Pingping is different now than before. She's a nice person now, and there's nothing wrong with hanging out with her."
"Even if she has changed now, we can't just pretend that what she did in the past never happened!" Zhou Xueqing pursed her lips and said indifferently.
Su Yue and the others exchanged glances, noticing that they all seemed to be deep in thought.
Cao Dan said, "Hmm...that's true. After all, it's hard to change a person's nature. Who knows when she'll reveal her true colors again? Maybe she's just pretending all this time..."
Su Yue added, "How can you be sure she's faking it? Maybe she genuinely has changed. While some people's nature is hard to change, others can admit their mistakes and correct them..."
"What? You're defending her so much, did you get some benefits from her?" Zhou Xueqing glanced at her with a hint of disdain and said.
"What do you mean? When did I ever accept any favors from her? I was just stating the facts... Even if Lu Fei doesn't want to associate with her, there's no need to talk about her behind her back like that, is there?" Su Yue rolled her eyes and retorted directly.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Why are you arguing over her..." Chen Xiaofeng quickly interjected to mediate.
Cao Dan also said, "That's right, stop arguing. What's there to argue about?"
Zhou Xueqing rolled her eyes, but didn't say anything more.
Meanwhile, Yuan Mengge and her two companions rode their bicycles out of the school and headed to the town center.
The three of them went to the bookstore first. Wei Jingting and another person went to look at novels, while Yuan Mengge looked at exercise books.
Because the high school entrance exam is approaching, the store has stocked up on a lot of practice books for the third year of junior high school.
After she bought the workbooks, she waited for Wei Jingting and the other girl to choose the novels they wanted to read. Then the three of them went to the market to browse for food.
As she was strolling around, Yuan Mengge suddenly saw a pair of twins walking towards her.
Those were her uncle and aunt, born to her stepmother.
The other person's eyes widened in surprise when they saw her.
"You! You're the sister-in-law from the family my sister married into, right?!" One of the girls suddenly blocked Yuan Mengge's way and asked loudly.
Yuan Mengge looked at her as she stood in front of her, and calmly asked, "Is there something you need?"
Guo Ju and Wei Jingting, who were standing next to them, looked at them with puzzled expressions.
Li Xueyao, with one hand on her hip and the other pointing at her, questioned, "I heard you were the one who persuaded my sister and brother-in-law to divorce, right? Where did you hide my sister?"
Yuan Mengge raised an eyebrow and replied, "Why should I tell you?"
"You!" Seeing her say that, Li Xueyao frowned angrily and reached out to push her: "Are you going to talk or not?"
However, before her hand could even touch Yuan Mengge, Yuan Mengge raised her hand to block it and coldly said, "Don't touch me."
Li Minghai's eyes darkened. He hadn't stopped Li Xueyao when she made her move; but after seeing Yuan Mengge nimbly block Li Xueyao's hand, he stepped forward.
He glanced at the other two people following Yuan Mengge, his eyes darting around, then pulled Li Xueyao aside and looked at Yuan Mengge, saying:
"I heard you're possessed by a ghost, you're like a completely different person. What kind of sister-in-law threatens her husband to divorce her just a few days after they got married? Are you really not sick?"
After hearing his words, Li Xueyao chimed in, "I think she's sick! She's not right in the head! Let me tell you, if you don't tell me where my sister is, you're not leaving today."
