Chapter 167 Deceiving the Heavens



Yun Wenxia and her daughter are dead, and there is also an unknown stranger at the scene.

Lin Xin arrived late with the police, and they were stunned by the result.

Pei Songbai told Xia Wenhua to just hold the child and cry, without saying a word more, thus giving everyone a perfect lie.

"Yun Wenxia and her daughter kidnapped our child, intending to use the child to threaten us into bringing Qiu Chenggong back. Before we could reach an agreement, this man, who appeared out of nowhere, first killed Yun Wenxia and her daughter, and then attacked the child."

In a moment of panic to protect the child, I grabbed the gun and fired.

Lin Xin, you should report this directly to your superiors.

Pei Songbai spoke to Lin Xin in front of everyone, but even more so to Xia Wenhua.

He had just seen that the two guns were the same model, and everyone else present except his family was dead. That was the best explanation.

Whether the stranger's identity can be verified is not important. There are only a few people present, and unless others can produce concrete evidence, what he says is the truth.

Lin Xin glanced at the scene, gave Pei Songbai a deep look, and then waved to his teammates behind him.

"Quickly lift everyone up and place them at the doorway to wait for the forensic doctor to come and examine them. Also, bring a few more people to take the children to the hospital."

After Lin Xin gave the order, the police entered the scene, and many messy footprints appeared on the ground, and the previous flaw disappeared unnoticed.

Xia Wenhua held her two children with her head down, tears streaming down her face, her hands trembling.

Pei Songbai did kill a stranger, and even if it was out of self-defense, the matter needs to be thoroughly investigated to clear his name.

Lin Xin had Xia Wenhua and the child taken away, and then came over personally to tell Pei Songbai that he needed to go to the police station.

Before fabricating the lie, Pei Songbai knew what situation he was going to face and had no objections.

As he turned to leave, Lin Xin whispered, "Keep your story to yourself; no one here can possibly see anything amiss."

"Thank you." Pei Songbai's lips moved, but no sound came out.

Military hospital, VIP ward.

Lin Aiguo rushed over. The two children had already fallen asleep. She glanced at Xia Wenhua sitting by the bed and gave Pei Ying a wink.

Pei Ying understood and followed Lin Aiguo out.

As soon as the two stepped outside, Lin Aiguo asked, "How is it? Wenhua still hasn't said anything today?"

It has been three days since the child was rescued, and Xia Wenhua has not spoken to them since bringing the child back.

The two children suffered terribly, but fortunately they are still young and will recover with time. Pei Ying's initial shock has subsided, and these past two days she has only been worried about Xia Wenhua.

Pei Ying shook her head: "Wenhua hasn't said a word. She won't eat even when I give her food. She just sits there blankly. It breaks my heart to see her like that."

No one expected that the Yun family mother and daughter would be so heartless as to kidnap a child. Fortunately, the child is dead.

The police found a notebook in that room, which was full of Yunmeng's writings on how to kidnap Xia Wenhua's child, and even detailed how to torture the child.

With Lin Xin present, he later told them the above content, and both families were furious, only regretting that Yunmeng died too easily.

Their kidnapping of children was premeditated and impossible to prevent.

Pei Ying felt a burning hatred whenever the Yun family mother and daughter were mentioned, but they were both dead, and there was no point in talking about it now. The most important thing now was Xia Wenhua.

Lin Aiguo sighed: "Three people died on the spot. Wenhua must have been terrified. Songbai can still persuade him. The police released him because Lin Xin testified. But the military region is still in a lot of trouble."

She had already urged Yin Hua, but Yin Hua was as stubborn as steel, and she couldn't get any useful information out of her.

Everyone was worried about Xia Wenhua's condition and wished that Pei Songbai would come out and persuade her immediately.

"Don't make things difficult for my brother. After all, he killed someone with his own hands. It's just a little trouble if it's necessary."

Since nothing had happened to her family, Pei Ying felt that nothing else mattered.

According to Yin Hua, Pei Songbai acted in self-defense and certainly did not break the law.

However, given his special status and the fact that no one could clearly explain the situation at the time, the military needed to conduct a thorough investigation.

The worst that could happen is discharge from the military, and Pei Ying felt that her family could completely accept that outcome.

Lin Aiguo sighed: "Songbai will definitely be fine, but Wenhua can't go on like this without eating or drinking. What should we do?"

The two were talking when the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

Xia Wenhua, the protagonist of their conversation, came out and seemed to only then realize that Lin Aiguo had arrived.

Her eyes flickered, and she walked blankly to Lin Aiguo.

"Aunt, where's Songbai?"

Xia Wenhua felt that she was now cut off from the whole world.

Two things were on her mind: she had killed someone; and Pei Songbai had taken the blame for her.

After confirming that the child was alright, she remained lost in thought for a long time.

She can sense the activities of people outside, but her reactions are slow and uncontrollable.

It took her a long time to mentally prepare herself to walk that short distance from the ward to the door.

When Pei Ying spoke to Lin Aiguo, she was able to barely maintain a normal emotional state.

Seeing Xia Wenhua come out with a blank look in her eyes, and the only thing she said was that she cared about Pei Songbai, she couldn't help but hug Xia Wenhua tightly.

"Wenhua, don't scare your mother, don't scare your mother. Please get better, okay? Songbai is alright, Songbai will be back soon. You should get better too, okay?"

Words are often inadequate and powerless. Pei Ying had a lot to say, but looking at Xia Wenhua, he couldn't say a word.

She knew Xia Wenhua was in pain and wanted to help, but when she thought about how Xia Wenhua, as a mother, had witnessed her son being abused and saw the murder scene, she really didn't know how she could help.

Just like now, Pei Ying cried for a long time, and Xia Wenhua hugged Pei Ying blankly, her voice hollow and devoid of any emotion.

"Mom, don't cry, I'm fine."

After responding to Pei Ying's question as if it were a routine matter, she stubbornly continued to press Lin Aiguo with further questions.

"Aunt, is Songbai coming back? When will he be back?"

Lin Aiguo's impression of Xia Wenhua was always that of a capable and strong woman, and he simply couldn't bear to watch this scene.

She gritted her teeth, her expression hardening: "I can come back, I definitely can come back!"

Xia Wenhua tried to smile, but couldn't control her muscles; her lips twitched slightly as she continued to press for answers.

"Aunt, when will he be back?"

Unable to control his emotions, Lin Aiguo immediately replied, "I'll be back soon, I promise!"

She turned and left, intending to go back and put pressure on Yin Hua.

Forget about discipline and rules, she really couldn't hold back anymore. Pei Songbai had to come back quickly!
