Zhou Minru's expression stiffened for a moment, then she quickly defended herself: "Weiwei, the situation wasn't what you think. We had no choice..."
Ye Weiwei scoffed, "So, this time, spreading rumors about me and damaging my reputation was also out of necessity?"
Zhou Minru was speechless.
She thought she had been discreet enough, but little did she know that Ye Weiwei already knew.
Since that's the case, playing the emotional card won't work; we'll have to try a different approach.
Zhou Minru, with an unusually thick skin, awkwardly said, "Weiwei, I was forced into it. Someone threatened to ruin your reputation. I didn't want to, but I couldn't fight city hall..."
"Whether I was forced or not, you and I both know the truth." Ye Weiwei interrupted Zhou Minru. "You don't actually think that I came here today because I was afraid someone would harm me, do you? Let me guess, you've been used as a pawn, and you've had no choice but to resort to desperate measures, trying to use me to escape your predicament and, incidentally, to help you deal with Zhou Qingwan?"
Zhou Minru's heart sank. She looked at Ye Weiwei guiltily and forced a smile. "What are you talking about? Who is Zhou Qingwan? I don't know her at all..."
Ye Weiwei waved her hand impatiently, "Save your breath, don't waste your time! Let me tell you, the reason I came here today is simply to see your miserable state with my own eyes! That's all!"
After all, I personally brought you all in, so I should at least come and check on the results!
"What?!" Zhou Minru was struck dumb. "You're saying you made that report call?!"
Ye Weiwei smiled sweetly, "Yes, I was the one who hit him!"
Enraged, Zhou Minru lunged forward to tear at Ye Weiwei, but was stopped again by two police officers. Her eyes were bloodshot with rage as she roared, "Ye Weiwei, you little bitch! How could you be so vicious! How could you be so vicious!"
Ye Weiwei sneered: "Me, vicious? You all know in your hearts how you climbed up the ladder step by step! I'm just a small, kind-hearted citizen who stood up for what was right. It's your own fault for being so greedy and breaking the law. You deserve this fate!"
"Ah—Ye Weiwei! You vicious woman! I curse you to a horrible death!"
Listening to Zhou Minru's frantic screams and breakdowns, Ye Weiwei's eyes were full of disdain. "Then go ahead and curse me. I'm upright and honest, I'll definitely live to be a hundred. As for you... hehe~"
After leaving the police station, Ye Weiwei noticed Huo Xiao's unusual expression and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Shouldn't you be happy that the person who harmed me behind my back has been brought to justice? Why are you still so sullen?"
Huo Xiao: "The Zhou family is so hateful."
While at the border, the young wife was busy treating and saving lives every day. She, her second brother, and her uncle all tacitly agreed not to worry her. In addition, there was a confidentiality agreement, so she did not know that the Zhou family was behind her second brother's mission failure.
Unexpectedly, after returning to Beijing, the Zhou family dared to provoke him again, using these despicable means to ruin his young wife's reputation.
Even the old man's side has been busy lately because the Zhou family is interfering!
He was supposed to report to the army after his annual leave, but because the Zhou family had been making too much noise lately, he was worried that his wife wouldn't be able to handle it alone, so he postponed it.
I need to go back and discuss this with the old man, and get rid of these bedbugs in the Zhou family as soon as possible!
Ye Weiwei was unaware of all the things the Zhou family had done behind the scenes, but she knew in her heart that ever since she publicly humiliated Zhou Qingwan, their feud with the Zhou family had been completely severed.
If she lets Zhou Qingwan off lightly this time because she was able to use Zhao Mingzhe's parents to spread rumors and slander her, who knows what even more outrageous things she might do next time.
Since that's the case, then she'll reciprocate by giving the Zhou family a generous gift!
Thinking of this, Ye Weiwei looked up at Huo Xiao: "You're right, the Zhou family is too hateful. I can't let myself suffer this injustice for nothing!"
Huo Xiao knew Ye Weiwei had a plan as soon as he heard her words. "What do you plan to do?"
Ye Weiwei smiled slyly, "Come with me somewhere!"
Seeing her eager expression, ready to stir up trouble, Huo Xiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Alright. I'll follow you to the death, Madam."
Ye Weiwei chuckled and waved her hand, saying, "No, no, don't worry, my specialty is winning without bloodshed."
Huo Xiao nodded solemnly, "Then I will obey Madam's orders."
Amidst laughter and conversation, Ye Weiwei led Huo Xiao through several winding alleys before finally arriving at Kyoto's black market.
After Ye Weiwei gave the password, she paid a dime and was let in by the lookout, Fang Xing. Huo Xiao, who was following behind him, followed suit and sneaked in as well.
The two didn't disguise themselves much; their clothes alone showed that they came from well-off families.
Moreover, Ye Weiwei deliberately acted curious, looking around, clearly someone who had never seen the world and came here to see something strange.
At first, the people in the black market were wary of them, but seeing that the two meant no harm, they quickly stopped paying attention to them.
Ye Weiwei led Huo Xiao on a leisurely stroll, stopping frequently as they walked until they reached a courtyard. They saw two people guarding the gate, but they didn't linger, as if they were simply passing by, and then turned back the way they came.
After leaving the black market, Ye Weiwei said to Huo Xiao, "See that courtyard? That's the black market hideout of Zhou Huairui, the second brother of Zhou Qingwan from the eldest branch of the Zhou family."
Most of the Zhou family's money came from years of secretly controlling the black market, buying and selling, and engaging in shady dealings.
Cutting off the Zhou family's black market supply line is tantamount to cutting off their source of funding, which will be a serious blow to the Zhou family.
Huo Xiao was surprised: "How do you even know this?"
He had no doubt about the authenticity of Ye Weiwei's information, but he was puzzled as to how his young wife knew so much about the Zhou family's businesses.
After all, black market transactions have always been strictly regulated by the authorities.
Ye Weiwei said without changing her expression, "I was born and raised in Kyoto, so what's so strange about me knowing things you don't?"
Seeing Huo Xiao's suspicious look, Ye Weiwei had no choice but to push everything onto Ye Wanwan: "I learned it from Ye Wanwan. Her younger brother, Ye Yaohui, is idle and misbehaves all day long. Her family often goes to the black market to cover Ye Yaohui's debts."
In fact, she knew that the Zhou family controlled the black market from the original book. After Ye Wanwan returned to Kyoto, she was very active in the black market. The items she took out were of extraordinary quality, which naturally alerted the black market boss. Over time, she got in touch with the Zhou family and cooperated with them quite a bit.
It was only because of the Zhou family that she was able to thrive in the black market.
