"Uncle, where is Lu Yi?"
"Oh my, my little darling, do you know that even Commander An was alerted because of your matter? Why are you worrying about others now? Hurry up and come back with me, pack your things and go back to the military compound. Your parents have been taken care of. Once you get back to the city, we'll arrange a job for you, and your rural assignment will be done."
Cui Jin grabbed Bai Na, trying to leave, afraid of being left behind if he lingered even a second longer, but she threw a tantrum:
"You promised to take Brother Lu Yi with you, why don't you try harder? No matter what, as long as he doesn't leave today, I'll stay here. At worst, I'll be tainted."
Bai Na's nonchalant attitude infuriated Cui Jin. What was so good about Lu Yi? His family background was poor, and his character was questionable. He should have reported Lu Yi's affair with Shen Ying's wife to his superiors to avoid all this trouble.
"Grandma, stop making a fuss. This matter involves too much. Let's go, let's go. I'll talk to you later."
Cui Jin tried to reason with Bai Na, but seeing that she wouldn't listen, he borrowed a phone to call his sister and brother-in-law. Taking advantage of the moment, Bai Na saw Jiang Yu and pointed at her, launching into a tirade of abuse:
"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have turned out like this. And your shameless sister, doing such immoral things. You bunch of country bumpkins should just die."
In the town's police station, most of the staff were from rural areas. When she said that, many of the staff members murmured among themselves and gave her unfriendly looks.
But Bai Na disagreed. She had lived a pampered life in a military compound since childhood. As an only child, she was practically spoiled by her family.
In contrast, Jiang Yu, aside from her good looks, is utterly unremarkable. She's uneducated, has a chaotic personal life, and although she married a soldier, he's reportedly not doing very well. Otherwise, why wouldn't they take her to the military compound instead of leaving her and her two children in the village?
Moreover, the environment here is not good at all. If it weren't for her uncle Cui Jin choosing a better single room for her, she wouldn't have been able to stay for even a minute, let alone for seven years in the countryside.
Jiang Yu was too lazy to pay attention to her. She originally thought it was pitiful that Lu Yi had deceived her, but she didn't expect that this person was not only a kind person, but also a love-struck fool.
"What's wrong? Do you feel like I hit the nail on the head and you're speechless? Since you know you've done something wrong, hurry up and persuade your shameless sister to take all the blame and let Brother Lu Yi go."
Seeing her arrogant attitude, Bai Na snorted coldly: What's so great about her? Isn't she just a woman abandoned by Lu Yi? A defeated opponent.
"Let him go? You love him so much, why don't you take the blame for him? You even secretly found someone to help you out. What's that saying again? 'Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately.' Hypocritical."
Jiang Yu rolled her eyes, feeling that it would be incredibly foolish to say another word to her. Her words seemed harmless, but they were enough to make Bai Na furious.
Although it was somewhat amusing to compare her and Lu Yi to a married couple, why did it have to come from Jiang Yu's mouth? Bai Na, provoked to the point of losing her temper, seemed to have forgotten the fear and anxiety she felt in the educated youth compound earlier, and swung her right hand at Jiang Yu. But Jiang Yu was no pushover; dodging slaps was second nature to her.
She grabbed the other person with her hand, but because they were at the police station, she did not fight back.
Bai Na hadn't expected the seemingly frail woman to possess such immense strength. After struggling for a long time and realizing she couldn't break free, she angrily cursed:
"Are the people in your police station just invisible? You let this shrew get away with this? Have you no laws?"
The staff in the lobby picked up the documents on the table, pretending to deliver something to the office, and ignored her. They couldn't be blamed; after all, this woman had just been shouting that she looked down on the villagers. Now she was calling on the villagers to attack her—did she really think they were servants of a rich young lady?
Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, Bai Na was furious. But her wrist was still being held, and the pain almost made her scream.
A red silk scarf, faintly visible around Bai Na's neck, caught Jiang Yu's attention. She released Bai Na and swiftly pulled it off her neck to examine it closely.
"Give it back to me right now, you scoundrel, you've dirtied my scarf."
Bai Na roared, her voice echoing throughout the entire police station. That silk scarf was a gift from Lu Yi, and she treasured it dearly, rarely even touching it herself. One can imagine how angry she was that Jiang Yu had gotten her hands on it.
Upon hearing this, Cui Jin hurriedly hung up the phone and came out to see this scene.
The hall was empty. Jiang Yu calmly watched his niece go crazy, as if he were looking at a fool.
"Comrade Jiang, what are you doing?"
Cui Jin's expression was grim; he couldn't bear to see his niece being bullied. However, compared to Bai Na, he was more observant. Jiang Yu, who usually only threw tantrums, was now unusually calm, as if she were a completely different person. Could it be that, like when she was more knowledgeable, she was also taught by Shen Ying?
If that's true, then this man is truly a mythical figure.
