Although Jiang Mingxin was angry, he didn't take Xing Haodong's words to heart.
She was busy decorating the library and delivering meals to Brother Fang, so she had no time to think about these trivial things.
Brother Fang's surgery went smoothly. If he recovered well, he would be discharged in a few days. She even cooked delicious meals for him in various ways. If there were things he didn't know how to cook, he would ask Sister Hong for help. She also checked to see if those guys had come back to cause trouble.
But as Xing Haodong promised, there are many more police officers patrolling around recently.
Who is his acquaintance in the County Public Security Bureau?
Jiang Mingxin thought silently, but couldn't figure it out.
That day, Lin Juan called to share the bad news: Yan Lao Er might be acquitted because someone from above had vouched for him and was putting direct pressure on Director Bai to stop investigating the tomb robbers near Jiangjiatun. Director Bai had a quarrel with the political commissar and tried various solutions, but ultimately he couldn't withstand the pressure and showed signs of compromise.
"Mingxin, find a place to hide quickly, or come to my house first? That Yan Lao Er has too many people behind him to deal with him as a little girl!"
Lin Juan was really worried about her safety, and she was also very angry about this matter, but Director Bai couldn't do anything, so what else could she do?
Jiang Mingxin decisively refused: "Sister Juan, thank you for your kindness, but I can't go to your house. My family is full of heroes, and I can't let you get into trouble."
"You...ah, what should I do? I heard that tomb robbers are very scary when they take revenge on people. If they move you, they might throw you into those tombs! I have applied to Director Bai to protect you, but he hasn't approved it yet. It's really..." Lin Juan couldn't help but swear.
Jiang Mingxin didn't have much hope for Bai Dingxian.
The original text describes him as cautious, cunning, and good at pleasing superiors, but he lacks determination and bravery, cannot withstand pressure at critical moments, is easily influenced by others, and is not very useful.
When she was punishing Yan Lao Er, she didn't expect Captain Zhou to pop up, so it was not surprising that she was in trouble now.
After much deliberation, Jiang Mingxin decided to use the opponent's force to his advantage and test Xing Haodong's ability first.
She bought some canned food and instant noodles in the county town, hurried back to Jiangjiatun, and went to the village chief's house.
The village chief's wife was very happy to see her come back, and when she saw that she was holding so much food, her smile became even brighter.
"Girl like you, just come, why bring any gift?"
Jiang Mingxin wanted to ask for help, so he naturally had to be polite. "It's not much. I bought these with the money I earned from odd jobs. Please don't despise them."
"Oh, how could I refuse such a good thing? Come in and sit down. You can stay for lunch..."
The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Mingxin mentioned Zhou Suyun, saying that he met her former classmate in the county and asked about her whereabouts.
When the village chief's wife heard someone was looking for her, she immediately became alert and asked in a low voice, "Why do people keep asking about her lately? Is the person looking for you a man or a woman, and how old are they?"
"He's about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, a man. What's wrong, aunt?" Jiang Mingxin looked surprised. "Does this Zhou Suyun have enemies?"
"Alas, it's more than just an enemy, it's pure injustice!" The village chief's wife slapped her thigh and sighed. "That's because you asked, otherwise I wouldn't tell you. You know there was a big fire in the village three years ago? It was Zhou Suyun's own mother who was burned to death!"
Jiang Mingxin's expression shuddered. "I remember that incident. It was said that the kerosene lamp in front of the bed fell over at night, so it caught fire."
"Actually, that's not the case at all. I know Zhou Suyun and her mother very well. They are very frugal. They turn off the kerosene lamp as soon as it gets dark and never light it at night. In fact, the fire was man-made. The arsonist didn't intend to burn anyone to death. He just wanted to scare Zhou Suyun. Who knew..."
After hearing what she said, Jiang Mingxin felt a chill all over his body.
She didn't expect that there were such vicious people in the world!
Compared with Jiang Dawei's evil deeds, it is no less serious!
"Since we know who set the fire, the police don't care. Didn't Zhou Suyun sue him?" Jiang Mingxin asked.
The village chief's wife smiled bitterly and shook her head. "How can we sue? They are all surnamed Zhou, so they are related. That man's brother is a high-ranking official in Shen. How can Suyun, a woman with no background, fight him? My husband wanted to help, but he was powerless. He went to the city to petition, but was sent back the same day."
"So let's just let this matter go?" Jiang Mingxin really couldn't believe it. If it were her, she would send the person who killed her mother to see the King of Hell even if it cost her own life.
"Suyun cries all day long, thinking she was the one who killed her mother. Yet, the other party still refuses to let her go. They've sent people to take her away several times. The villagers helped the first few times, but later no one was willing to help because the other party brought more and more people, each with a knife in their hands. Tell me, can Suyun withstand all these tricks?"
"Forget revenge! Suyun couldn't even get away from them. She thought about escaping, but someone was watching her the whole time. She'd be caught if she left Jiangjiatun." The village chief's wife's eyes filled with tears as she spoke. "They were so abusive. In the end, she had no choice but to... buy a bottle of sulfuric acid and destroy her own face!"
"What?!" Jiang Mingxin stood up suddenly.
The whole person seemed to be frozen, with shock flashing in his black pupils.
She had heard of people being disfigured by having sulfuric acid thrown on them, but she had never heard of anyone being disfigured by someone else throwing sulfuric acid on them.
How painful it would be to pour sulfuric acid on your face!
How desperate!
