Chapter 80 Weird Smile
Sun Zhiqiang's voice was sharp and piercing, like the crackling noise of an old radio, making people want to slap him.
"Old director, you are so hesitant, are you really planning to protect Lin Wan? She is..." He deliberately dragged out the last syllable and made faces to hint at something. His smug look made people want to vomit.
Mother Sun was not willing to be outdone. Like a defeated hen, she flapped her wings and rushed towards Xu Yao, "Xu Yao, you little devil, you failed to seduce my son and now you seduce Xue Han! You..."
Xu Yao rolled her eyes, feeling nothing inside, and even felt like laughing.
Is this the combat capability?
She must have been blind in her previous life to think Sun Zhiqiang was a treasure!
Xue Han took a step forward and placed his tall body in front of Xu Yao, like a towering mountain, keeping all the wind and rain out.
He glanced at Sun Zhiqiang and his son coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, "You two, please watch your words. This is the street office, not a place for you to act like a spoiled child."
The director of the subdistrict office coughed lightly and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
He adjusted his glasses, his eyes revealing an unquestionable majesty, "Sun Zhiqiang, Auntie Sun, calm down for a moment. We have already investigated the truth of the matter."
He took out a document from the drawer and unfolded it. A clear voice echoed in the room: "After investigation, this document reporting Comrade Xue Han was forged. Comrade Lin Wan and Wang Ermazi from the supply and marketing cooperative tampered with the data in the document in order to destroy the relationship between Comrade Xue Han and Comrade Xu Yao."
"boom--"
The news was like a bomb, exploding in the room.
Lin Wan’s face was pale, her lips were trembling, and she was gasping for breath desperately like a fish thrown ashore.
She never imagined that her carefully planned conspiracy would be exposed so thoroughly.
She wanted to explain herself, but found she had no way of speaking.
Sun Zhiqiang and his mother were also dumbfounded.
They originally thought they had a sure win, but they didn't expect the plot to turn around so quickly.
"This is impossible!" Sun's mother screamed, "You must have made a mistake! My son saw it with his own eyes..."
"What did you see with your own eyes?" The director of the subdistrict office interrupted her. "Sun Zhiqiang, what you said you saw with your own eyes was just a scam carefully designed by Comrade Lin Wan. In fact, Comrade Xue Han did not go to Comrade Lin Wan's home that night."
The director of the subdistrict office produced another piece of evidence, which clearly recorded Xue Han's whereabouts that night.
The evidence was overwhelming and Sun Zhiqiang and his mother were speechless.
Just then, there was a noise outside the door.
Stall owners at the market and salespeople from the supply and marketing cooperatives also rushed over.
"Sun Zhiqiang, you are such a wicked person! How dare you slander Comrade Xue Han!"
"Auntie Sun, you are also heartless! Xu Yao was so good to you in the past, and you actually helped your son bully her!"
Accusations and insults came like a tide, drowning Sun Zhiqiang and his mother.
They were filled with shame and left the street office in disgrace.
The room finally fell silent.
Xue Han looked at Xu Yao, his deep eyes filled with tenderness.
He held her hand, his voice low and firm: "Yaoyao, I love you. I will protect you for the rest of my life and will never let you get hurt again."
Xu Yao's eyes were moist. She nodded vigorously and rested her head gently on his shoulder.
There was warm applause all around.
The director of the subdistrict office looked at the two people hugging each other and smiled with relief.
“Boom boom boom—”
A hurried knock on the door broke the warm atmosphere.
The director of the subdistrict office frowned, with a bad feeling in his heart. "Who is it?"
An anxious voice came from outside the door: "Director, something bad has happened! Something happened!" The director of the subdistrict office opened the door and saw a young man, panting, holding a brown paper package in his hand and sweating profusely.
"Comrade Xu Yao, your package is expedited! The deliveryman couldn't find your house, so he asked around and found you here."
Xu Yao took the package and her heart inexplicably tightened.
Who would send her an expedited package these days?
The package was light, but cold to the touch, like a stone pressing on her palm.
She looked at Xue Han in confusion, and the latter also looked puzzled.
"Open it and take a look." Xue Han said in a deep voice, with an inexplicable uneasiness hanging over him.
Xu Yao took a deep breath and carefully unpacked the package.
Under the kraft paper is an exquisite small wooden box.
When the wooden box was opened, a black-and-white photo was quietly lying inside. The photo was... a posthumous photo!
The woman in the portrait had a peaceful look on her face, with a strange smile on her lips. It was Xu Yao herself!
Xu Yao felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and the blood in her body seemed to freeze in an instant.
Her face turned pale, her fingertips trembled, and the photo fell to the ground with a "pop".
Xue Han suddenly hugged Xu Yao and felt her trembling in his arms.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
The air in the room suddenly stagnated, and an eerie and terrifying atmosphere filled the air.
This sudden change, like a bolt from the blue, dragged the two people who had just experienced the storm into a new vortex.
The director of the subdistrict office picked up the photo, his brows furrowed and his expression serious.
Who sent this?
What's the purpose?
Could it be that the previous turmoil was just the beginning, and a bigger conspiracy is yet to come?
