Lin Xiaoxiao moved very quickly; in almost just two days, Director Zhao's rumors spread throughout Jiangcheng, becoming the talk of the town.
"Wife, how do you know Zhao Qiang killed someone?" Qin Yushen asked curiously at the guesthouse.
This time, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't hide it from him: "I have special abilities."
Qin Yu understood immediately and guessed that it was a type of superpower.
Since he awakened his lightning-based superpowers in a critical moment, he is no longer a pure materialist.
If someone told him that aliens exist, he would believe it without hesitation.
The world is vast and full of wonders.
Seeing that he wasn't surprised, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a mischievous urge to tease him.
"What's that outside the window?"
Qin Yushen instinctively looked towards the window and saw a branch stretching in, swaying as if to say hello.
His pupils contracted sharply; the sudden scene made his heart skip a beat.
"This is... a spirit?" After hesitating for a moment, he finally uttered this sentence.
The phrase "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, no spirits are allowed" is almost etched in the hearts of every Chinese person.
Promoting feudal superstition is prohibited; social peace must be maintained.
Qin Yushen never imagined that one day he would see a plant that had come to life, waving its branches in front of him.
Seeing his stunned expression, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh. "Yes, she's become sentient. She's greeting you."
Qin Yu glanced at the branch; it was an extension of the large cypress tree next to the guesthouse.
The tree has a thick trunk and a dense canopy, indicating that it is at least fifty years old.
"Her, or his?" Qin Yushen asked, somewhat curious.
Lin Xiaoxiao grabbed the top of the branch and shook it. "She's a little sister who's almost sixty years old."
Sixty years old...
Little sister...
Qin Yushen seemed about to speak but hesitated.
"Haha, it's normal to be surprised if you don't understand the rules of the plant kingdom," Lin Xiaoxiao laughed.
In the plant kingdom, one hundred years is a milestone; only after living past one hundred years can one be considered truly an adult.
Those trees that are thousands of years old can be considered old trees, the elders of the plant kingdom.
Qin Yu glanced at the retracted branch and smiled, "It's amazing."
Thinking of Lin Xiaoxiao's abilities, he guessed, "You can communicate with them?"
The tone was inquiring, yet it carried a hint of certainty.
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded and blinked, "That's right, so there's nothing I can't know, only things I don't want to know."
There are very few animals and plants that have become sentient, and they do communicate with each other, otherwise it would be so boring.
She was the one who deliberately leaked Director Zhao's information.
If we unite against her, we shouldn't blame her for retaliating in kind.
Qin Yu held her hand tightly. "I got the news this morning that Zhao Qiang has been arrested. If the body is found in the place you mentioned, he'll be dead."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded; she was very satisfied with the result.
Director Zhao is a man who can't withstand scrutiny. Once investigated, a whole bunch of dirty tricks are uncovered, and he's certainly been quite the playboy.
First, he had an affair with his sister-in-law, then he had an illegitimate child outside the marriage, all because his wife had only given birth to two daughters.
The illegitimate child wasn't his; it belonged to his younger brother. He was set up by his brother.
After his affair was exposed, he killed the child he had raised for ten years in a fit of rage. In the end, to silence them, he also killed his younger brother and his lover.
The family of three walked in perfect unison.
Nowadays, he pretends to be a good person in front of his wife, but behind her back, he's having an affair with his sister-in-law who's married, and he even got her a job as a saleswoman at a department store.
High salary, high status, and a leisurely life.
He was an utterly wicked person. If he hadn't offended Lin Xiaoxiao, the things he did would never have been exposed.
If there were a pill to undo regrets, Director Zhao would gladly give up all his wealth to beg for one.
When the rumors first started, he had a bad feeling, but he was confident that he could handle it.
Before I even had a chance to do anything, I was wearing a silver bracelet and starting to work for the government.
He had no idea how he fell from grace until the police mentioned the kind-hearted comrade surnamed Lin to him.
He only realized it in an instant.
Recently, the only person with the surname Lin that he has offended is Lin Xiaoxiao, who was specifically targeted by higher authorities.
Only three days had passed since she warned herself not to become the second Director Ma.
In just three days, the director of a municipal tailings committee was brought down.
Director Zhao hugged himself tightly, tears streaming down his face in regret.
Perhaps driven by a survival instinct, he summoned the police and excitedly expressed that he had something to say.
"Zhao Qiang wants to see me?" Lin Xiaoxiao was applying oil to her stomach to prevent stretch marks when she looked up in surprise.
Qin Yu nodded deeply, took the clam oil from her hand, poured a little into his hands, rubbed it to warm it, and then gently massaged it onto her stomach.
"Yes, the police said they have something to tell you."
After being suspended from his post, Qin Yushen was no longer in a hurry to return to Beijing. He spent his days wandering around Jiangcheng with Lin Xiaoxiao, occasionally cooperating with the investigation of the Tail-Cutting Association.
After he finished applying the oil, Lin Xiaoxiao put down her clothes. "Let's go and hear what he has to say."
public security bureau.
Seeing the listless Zhao Qiang, Lin Xiaoxiao said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Director Zhao looks noticeably older."
Zhao Qiang ignored her teasing and went straight to the point, "Save me and I'll tell you what you want to know."
Lin Xiaoxiao is already overwhelmed with her own problems. As long as the Tail Cutting Association does not acknowledge the accuracy of the paternity test report, she will be labeled.
She went to work in the western province with her 'biological parents'.
Zhao Qiang guessed that she was definitely eager to get rid of the couple and wanted to know who had set her up.
Having grasped this point, Zhao Qiang felt confident enough to negotiate with her.
Lin Xiaoxiao yawned. "Not interested."
"If this is all you've asked us to say, then we're not going to keep you company."
After saying that, he made a move to stand up and leave with Qin Yushen.
"Wait!" Zhao Qiang called out to them anxiously.
Lin Xiaoxiao kept walking, and Zhao Qiang blurted out anxiously, "Two days ago, I received a call from Beijing."
Lin Xiaoxiao raised her eyes, her gaze flickering, and walked back to sit down. "Speak," she said. "As long as I hear the information I want, everything else is negotiable."
Zhao Qiang wasn't stupid; he never believed such unreliable statements.
"I don't believe you unless you swear it."
As he spoke, his gaze swept over Lin Xiaoxiao's stomach.
Is she being asked to swear on her unborn child?
Lin Xiaoxiao and Qin Yushen's eyes turned cold. Lin Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, "You have no right to negotiate, understand?"
"I can find out about the things you know, it's just a matter of time."
Zhao Qiang's face darkened. He knew he had no choice but to hold onto a sliver of hope that if he told them everything he knew, they would help him.
He didn't want to die yet.
