How could there not be?
This morning, when Yu Defu asked her to come and get something, she saw the bedside table in the room. Han Fenglan didn't take anything with her when she left this morning.
A bedside table should definitely be in the home.
Yu Yao frowned: "Have you searched everywhere? Have you checked the room I mentioned?"
The police officer who was looking for the item nodded. "We've searched everywhere, but we couldn't find a maroon bedside table. Comrade Yu Defu said they only have solid wood bedside tables, not maroon ones. You must have misremembered."
Hearing this, Yu Yao understood everything.
Yu Defu must have hidden the items.
There was just one thing she couldn't understand: how did Yu Defu know what the police were looking for, and how could he hide the item before the police could find it?
Could he possibly be a prophet?
Or was Yu Defu also involved, and when he sensed something was wrong, he hid the items in advance?
No, although Yu Defu was determined to sell the original owner of the body for money, he would do it through a legal and sustainable way, such as marrying someone off, to collude with human traffickers. He would never do something like that, which could easily land him in jail.
It seems that Yu Defu hiding the items was probably related to Han Fenglan. Could it be that Han Fenglan gave him prior notice?
Yu Yao's guess was actually quite close to reality.
Han Fenglan was overjoyed when she heard that the bedside table had not been found.
Previously, when Yu Defu asked her what was in the bedside table, she lied and said it was an account book of her dealings with her relatives back home who were speculating and running a black market. She even showed him the fake account book that Li Weibing had sent her.
He also instructed him that if anyone came looking for the bedside table, he must find a way to hide it.
It seems that Yu Defu took her words to heart.
Yu Yao looked at Yu Defu thoughtfully, and he was looking at her at the same time.
Yu Defu has always valued his reputation above all else. Today, Yu Yao has made such a big fuss and even called the police. It's as if the Yu family has thrown their dignity and face to the ground for the whole group to trample on.
In his view, this was unforgivable.
"Yu Yao, how could you be so vicious as to report your mother and sister? Don't you think our family has lost enough face? Hurry up and explain to the police that there is no such thing as evidence, you're just making things up."
Seeing that everyone around him was listening intently to make a fool of himself, Yu Defu was furious and spoke without any restraint.
If it weren't for the presence of the police, he would have smashed things to teach Yu Yao a lesson.
As expected, she's not his own child; she's not nearly as caring as Honglan.
The original owner cared so much about her family. Given her personality, if she found Yu Defu was angry, she would definitely admit her mistake immediately, regardless of whether it was her fault or not, and listen to Yu Defu in everything.
But these compromises did not earn her the appreciation and understanding of her family; instead, they became the sharp blades that bullied and stabbed her.
Yu Yao didn't care at all about family members like Yu Defu.
Furthermore, Han Fenglan colluded with human traffickers and did countless heinous things behind the scenes; such a person should be punished.
She looked up at Yu Defu, her face cold:
“The truly malicious person is not me, but the person who colluded with human traffickers to sell me, the person who harbored a wanted criminal and aided and abetted evil. The police officers were on the scene. I, Yu Yao, can swear to God that everything I reported is true, not a single word of it is a lie.”
As she spoke, Yu Yao wiped away non-existent tears, her eyes still misty with tears as she looked at Yu Defu. "Although I'm not your biological daughter, I've called you 'Dad' for twenty years. How could you insult me like that? Since you hate me so much, I won't bother you much when I go to the island."
This was a preemptive warning to the brigade members. If she didn't return to Baihe Brigade in the future, they wouldn't be able to reason with her, and Yu Defu couldn't use this as a reason to cause trouble for her and Lu Ze.
Her voice trembled, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked extremely aggrieved.
Those around them felt a pang of sympathy.
“Defu, we’ve all seen what happened. Yu’s daughter did nothing wrong. It was Fenglan and the others who went too far.”
"Yes, if you scold the child without even knowing the facts, the child will feel disheartened."
Yu Defu never expected that the girl who used to be so quiet would suddenly become so sharp-tongued and humiliating, which fueled his anger.
I wanted to get angry, but I knew it wasn't the right time, so I held it in.
The most urgent task is to get through today's matter smoothly.
Yu Defu forced a smile and explained, "I just spoke rashly in a moment of panic. Today's incident is all a misunderstanding. Yu Yao is still my daughter, no matter what. How could Feng Lan and her daughter do such a thing?"
"Officer, my wife and daughter were just arguing and things got heated. All the accusations of reporting me or harboring a wanted criminal are misunderstandings. We're sorry for causing you trouble."
As he spoke, Yu Defu gave Han Fenglan a look, "Fenglan, say something. This is just hearsay without any evidence, so it shouldn't be taken seriously."
Han Fenglan was about to deny it when she remembered the letter in Lei Gong'an's hand.
The letter is still there, even though it's gone from the bedside table, which proves that she was in contact with Li Weibing.
etc!
Since Yu Yao wasn't sure there was a letter in the bedside table, where did the letter in her hand come from?
Seeing that Han Fenglan remained silent, Yu Defu could only patiently explain to the police.
He was, after all, the first person from Baihe Brigade to pass the exam for a state-owned factory, and having attended high school, he quickly dismissed Yu Yao's report as a momentary impulse born of heated argument.
Although the police arrested Li Weibing, he insisted that he had not been in contact with Han Fenglan since their divorce. Yu Yao had no other evidence, and Han Fenglan and her daughter were not cooperating, so the police could not force him to cooperate.
In the end, it all depends on Yu Yao. If she can produce other evidence, there is still a chance for things to turn around.
Lei Gong'an then turned to Yu Yao: "Comrade Yu, what do you think about this matter..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Han Fenglan rushed over and snatched the letter from him.
Han Fenglan was overjoyed after opening the letter.
“It’s blank, there’s nothing on it.” Han Fenglan looked at Yu Yao triumphantly.
Sure enough, sure enough, even God was helping her.
Without evidence, Yu Yao's report is invalid. As long as Li Weibing doesn't confess, the mother and daughter are innocent.
Knowing she was alright, Han Fenglan's earlier dejection vanished, replaced by a spirited demeanor.
"Officer, as you can see, Yu Yao has no evidence whatsoever. This matter is indeed unrelated to us. We urge you to investigate thoroughly."
At this point, Han Fenglan glanced at Yu Honglan, who was cowering behind Yu Defu with her head down, not daring to look at her. She felt both angry and heartbroken.
Yu Defu also smiled and said, "Officer, it's my fault for not disciplining my daughter properly, which caused you trouble by making a false report. We'll accept whatever punishment we deserve. But we really can't admit to the crime of harboring a wanted criminal, so we'd better not go to the police station."
Seeing that this report was about to be labeled as her impulsive revenge, Yu Yao stepped forward and walked up to Yu Defu.
"You're so protective of Han Fenglan, do you know she's cheating on you?"
