Chapter 29 What is Zhu Mingzhu trying to achieve?

Xia Chunmei, who was standing next to her, became even more angry when she saw Zhu Mingzhu trembling with fear because of Shen Anan. Mingzhu was too pitiful. She must seek justice for Mingzhu!

Xia Chunmei stood in front of Zhu Mingzhu and glared at Shen Anan with a vicious look.

"Shen An'an, don't confuse right with wrong! It was Shen Yuanjia who did something wrong, why are you glaring at Mingzhu!"

"I'm telling you, if you don't give Mingzhu an explanation today, I'll go to the town police station tomorrow. I don't believe no one can handle this matter!"

"Chunmei, this is none of your business. Go home with your mother!" Mrs. Aqing grabbed her daughter's arm and tried to pull her aside, but Xia Chunmei broke free.

This silly girl!

She looked at the expressions of the Shen brothers and sisters, as well as Shen Anan’s words, and always felt that this matter was not so simple. This matter has nothing to do with their family. After all, Shen Yuanxing is the team leader, so there is really no need to offend others.

"Mom, don't pull me. I must seek justice for Mingzhu today!"

Shen Anan was so angry that she almost laughed when she saw the people who jumped out to seek justice. The mother and daughter of the Wu family were quite cunning. They encouraged everyone to stand up for them, while they hid aside and pretended to be innocent.

"You mean well, but your good sister is not as pitiful as you say. It's a good thing to be loyal, but don't become a knife in someone else's hand to kill people." Shen Anan meant something.

Shen Anan looked around and raised his voice: "Just now my sixth brother took me home by bike. When we walked to this grove, we suddenly heard someone shouting for help. My sixth brother was worried that someone was in trouble, so he rushed in."

Shen Anan walked a few steps towards the Wu family mother and daughter, and pointed at Zhu Mingzhu with a flashlight: “I didn’t expect that the thief didn’t see it, but this one… threw himself into my sixth brother’s arms with disheveled clothes and refused to let go, and then it just happened that everyone came here at this time.”

Shen Anan spread his hands: "Think about it carefully, if my sixth brother really asked her to have a tryst here, could he bring his own sister? He is not stupid!"

"What An An said makes sense!"

"That's right. Even if Shen Yuanjia was a badass, he wouldn't bring an unmarried girl to have a tryst with someone!"

"What did I say? I said Shen Yuanjia is not that kind of person."

"Hey, that's not what you just said!"

Wu Lanxiang listened to the discussions coming from around her and cursed in her heart, what a bunch of fence-sitters.

Wu Lanxiang protected Zhu Mingzhu behind her, wiped away her tears, and took a few steps forward with a determined look on her face, like a person who was forced into a desperate situation and fought back after reaching the point of no return.

"You and Shen Yuanjia are siblings, so of course you are on his side. Maybe Shen Yuanjia brought you here specifically to let you keep an eye out, so that even if someone bumps into him, he can completely push the blame away."

"Our Mingzhu is one of the most beautiful girls in this area. Is it necessary to sacrifice her innocence to blame Shen Yuanjia?"

"How can you bully others like this! Aren't you just relying on your second brother being the captain?"

"Wuwuwuwu, mother, I won't live anymore..."

Shen Anan looked at the performance of Wu Lanxiang and her daughter with some amusement. This would really bring disaster upon herself.

Shen Ligen also recovered and accused: "Don't think that just because Shen Yuanxing is the captain, you Shen family can bully others."

"I didn't do it, and it has nothing to do with whether my second brother is the captain or not! Don't try to blame me for something that didn't happen. Even if I get shot, I will never marry Zhu Mingzhu." Shen Yuanjia's face was dark and he clenched his fists tightly.

Shen Anan couldn't help but applaud Wu Lanxiang and her daughter: "What a wonderful show!"

Shen Anan suddenly turned around and looked at Xia Chunmei, who looked fearless: “What did Wu Lanxiang say when she went to the village entrance and asked everyone to help find Zhu Mingzhu?”

Xia Chunmei was stunned: "Ah, Aunt Wu said Mingzhu disappeared after dinner, and she was worried that something happened to her, so she asked everyone to help look for her."

"I want to ask Aunt Wu, you found Zhu Mingzhu missing after dinner, and it was less than half an hour before you went to the village entrance, right?"

"You live in the west end of the village, right? If your daughter is missing, shouldn't you look for her near your home first? What if Zhu Mingzhu just went to visit her little sister? Why did you go straight to the east end of the village and yell for everyone to come look for her together?"

"And even if we brought people to look for him, we shouldn't have headed straight for this grove, right? Don't you think that's too much of a coincidence?"

After Shen Anan's words, Xia Chunmei also felt something was wrong, and couldn't help but look at the Wu mother and daughter with some inquiry.

Wu Lanxiang sighed: "Ah, I can see that you are determined to help your sixth brother slander our Mingzhu."

"The reason why I led people to look for Mingzhu here as soon as I found out she was missing was because I heard Mingzhu mention this grove before, so I wanted to try my luck."

The surrounding villagers listened to the two sides' arguments and became hesitant for a moment, not knowing which side to believe.

Shen Anan laughed sarcastically: "You mother and daughter really won't cry until you see the coffin!"

After that, Shen Anan took out a palm-sized iron box from the backpack he was carrying and shook it in front of the Wu family's mother and daughter.

"Do you know what this is? It's a state-of-the-art radio with a recording function."

"What a coincidence! I was just testing the recording function and I accidentally recorded something else!"

Zhu Mingzhu panicked for a moment and pretended to be calm: "You... are lying. I've seen radios before, and they're not like this at all. There's no recording function either."

Shen Anan smiled and said, "Whether it's a lie or not, we'll know after we listen."

As Shen Anan pressed the play button, she heard the voices of Shen Anan and Shen Yuanjia chatting in the recording, and suddenly a cry for help rang out...

The recording ended with Shen Yuanjia's somewhat helpless words, "Girl, please let go, I am a police officer, you are safe now."

Shen Anan held the recorder and raised her eyebrows at the mother and daughter of the Wu family: "Anything else to say? If you didn't hear it clearly, I can play it a few more times."

Zhu Mingzhu sat on the ground exhausted. Ever since she heard her cry for help on the radio, she knew that she was finished.

Wu Lanxiang could no longer maintain the expression on her face, revealing a bit of guilt as if she had been exposed.

The surrounding villagers had already been in an uproar, and once the recording came out, it immediately became clear who was right and who was wrong.

"Oh my god, it turns out what Shen Yuanjia said was true. We were all deceived by Wu Lanxiang!"

"What is Zhu Mingzhu trying to do? Now her reputation is ruined!"

"Yeah, who said it wasn't true? How can you wrongly accuse someone?"

Xia Chunmei looked at Zhu Mingzhu in disbelief: "Mingzhu, it turns out that you have been lying all along. How could you do this?"

Zhu Mingzhu became more and more frightened as she listened to the accusations from people around her. After hearing what Xia Chunmei said, she suddenly broke down and burst into tears.

Wu Lanxiang wanted to help her daughter up out of concern, but was pushed away by Zhu Mingzhu.

Zhu Mingzhu's face was filled with resentment: "It's all your fault. If you hadn't said that this method would allow Brother Yuanjia to marry me, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

Wu Lanxiang was at a loss as to what to do. She dared not look directly at her daughter's hateful gaze: "Mother... Mother was wrong. It's all mother's fault. Mother just wanted you to live a good life."

"I'll never get better, and it's all your fault!"

"It's all your fault, I hate you so much!"

Wu Lanxiang burst into tears and shook her head, unable to bear it. Suddenly she got up from the ground and kept begging the people around her: "It's all my fault. It has nothing to do with Mingzhu. I forced her to do it. If you want to blame someone, blame me."

Shen Anan looked at this scene with mixed feelings. If she hadn't been afraid of accidents and hadn't been recording with the recorder she got when she signed in, it would have been hard to explain what happened this time.

But looking at Wu Lanxiang like this, I felt that she was both annoying and pitiful.

Shen Yuanjia looked at the farce in front of him and felt that it was really meaningless. "An An, let's go home. Dad and mom are waiting for us to eat!"

"Hey... let's go!"

After seeing the Shen brothers and sisters leave, there was nothing exciting to watch, and the surrounding villagers also left in twos and threes.

Soon, the only sounds in the grove were Zhu Mingzhu's howling and Wu Lanxiang's helpless voice trying to comfort people...
