Xia Baozhu didn't think about it anymore; she only read the parts of novels she liked.
This Sun Xingyan is probably an important supporting character in the book, which is why she remembers him.
It's very likely that he's the male lead's business partner or the female lead's suitor.
In the following days, Xia Baozhu encountered Sun Xingyan twice when she took Professor Deng out. Each time, Sun Xingyan was accompanied by other people, and Xia Baozhu only greeted them from a distance.
At the same time, Xia Baozhu began writing new short stories. This time, she wrote a story similar to the farmer and the snake, but with a twist. In the end, the snake was killed by the farmer, promoting the popular idea that evil is punished and good is rewarded.
Xia Baozhu was very happy at Professor Deng's house, except that Feng Huafang's eyes were getting colder and colder.
She quickly figured out the key point, but she didn't stay in it for long and didn't take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, disaster struck while I was sitting at home.
When Xia Baozhu returned to the Leng family home after get off work, she saw a crowd gathered at the door. As soon as she got closer, someone recognized her.
"Xia Zhaodi is back!"
His voice was very loud, as if he were giving a heads-up to the people in the yard.
A policeman suddenly appeared in front of Xia Zhaodi. He was burly, with a dark and serious face, and exuded a strong sense of intimidation.
Xia Baozhu felt a little uneasy, but then she calmed down after thinking that she hadn't done anything bad and had actually done several good deeds.
"You are Xia Zhaodi?" The policeman's tone was very cold.
"Yes, it's her." Before Xia Baozhu could answer, someone else nearby replied first.
Although Xia Baozhu always wrapped herself up tightly, her neighbors who knew her well could still recognize her at a glance.
After all, they come and go from the Leng family's gate every day, and with Wang Aixiang's publicity, it's hard to ignore them.
"Yes, officer. Is there something you need?"
Xia Baozhu's calm tone made the dark-faced policeman frown.
To remain so calm even when facing the police shows a strong mental fortitude.
"Take off your mask and headscarf before you speak."
Xia Baozhu obediently took it off, revealing a face with bright eyes and white teeth.
With just a simple braid, she could easily outshine others' elaborate outfits.
"Have you noticed? Xia Zhaodi is getting prettier and prettier lately." Someone stared at her unabashedly and whispered to the person next to them.
“She was beautiful to begin with. When she first moved here, so many young men in our alley would secretly pass by just to catch a glimpse of her.”
"No wonder the Leng family wouldn't let her go out before."
"Her mother-in-law was fierce. If anyone even glanced at her, she would scold them when they got home. Once, I saw her standing in front of the old well for a long time, as if she wanted to commit suicide. She was probably scared, so she left."
"Captain, we found some letters inside the house." A younger policeman came out from the doorway, his eyes lighting up when he saw Xia Baozhu.
I never expected the suspect to be so beautiful; no wonder she was suspected.
"Xia Zhaodi, what is this?" The dark-faced policeman took the letter, flipped through it, and looked up at Xia Baozhu's eyes as he asked.
"The novels I wrote."
Xia Baozhu's answer surprised those around her; no one expected that this unemployed and uneducated woman could write novels.
Wang Aixiang carried her grandson to the door, her face full of disdain and smugness: "You only went to the third grade of elementary school, and you don't even know all the words as well as I do. What kind of novels can you write?"
“I can use a dictionary and read books, so of course I can write novels,” Xia Baozhu said coldly, glancing at Wang Aixiang.
"Aren't you ashamed? When have you ever read a book? You've been married into our family for so many years and you haven't even laid an egg. You still have time to read books? Officer, this Xia Zhaodi has been going out every day lately and is restless. You should investigate what she's been up to."
With the police around, Wang Aixiang wasn't afraid of Xia Baozhu at all, and her tone remained as sharp and sarcastic as ever.
"Haha, no need to ask. Everyone says she can't lay eggs. How can she lay eggs when the man isn't home? She must have gone to find another man."
Those who enjoy watching a good show will find it exciting, and such a risqué joke will elicit a burst of laughter.
Xia Baozhu looked at the people who had spoken and mocked her, as if she wanted to memorize them.
Some people lowered their eyes when she looked over, while others smiled provocatively, clearly gloating.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Xia Zhaodi used to be very honest. She just had a fight with her mother-in-law recently, which is why she ran away." A neighbor who knew about the Leng family's situation also spoke up.
"Don't spread rumors without evidence. This is a warning for you. If you spread rumors again, you'll be going to jail."
The young policeman spoke sternly to the person who had just made the lewd joke, immediately silencing those who had been laughing and joking.
"Xia Zhaodi, please assist our investigation and come with us."
After reading the manuscript in his hand, the dark-faced man made his judgment and his tone towards Xia Baozhu became less harsh.
But this matter was ordered to be done by someone above him. Even if Xia Zhaodi was innocent, he still had to go through the motions, ask the questions that needed to be asked, and investigate the matters that needed to be investigated.
"Do you have proof? Proof that you're a real police officer?"
Xia Baozhu's words were once again unexpected; she was so bold as to doubt the authenticity of the police.
The two police officers did not expect that the dark-faced officer's suspicions would resurface, but he still took out his police ID.
"This is my identification."
It says Tao Zhiyong on it and has an official seal.
The other one is named Luo Zhansheng.
"Can I push my bicycle into the yard first?"
After receiving permission, Xia Baozhu parked the car, put on a mask and a scarf, and got on the motorcycle with a sidecar.
The young policeman sat in the back, admiring Xia Baozhu's composure and calmness at that moment.
