"Take a close look and see if you recognize it."
Fang Dajiao's family used to be very poor, and they sold her to the Lin family as a maid. Later, after the liberation, the Lin family fled, and she regained her freedom.
She has always been very sensitive about the fact that she worked as a maid in the Lin family, especially in recent years, for fear of being accused by others.
Some people are deliberately pretending to be ignorant. They, who are being exploited and drained of their lifeblood by the Lin family, are different from those who use the Lin family's name to flaunt their power and line their own pockets.
However, there aren't many reasonable people these days, and Fang Dajiao also thought it was better to avoid trouble.
The police officers spent a long time investigating and interviewing people at the original site of the Lin family's residence before finally finding Fang Dajiao. She was terrified and repeatedly denied that she was just a lowly servant in the Lin family and was often beaten and scolded by them.
"Officer, I know nothing about the Lin family. I know nothing about them."
"Comrade Fang Dajiao, don't be nervous. We just want you to identify people."
Anyone would be nervous being taken away by the police. Fang Dajiao walked into the police station with trembling feet and went to the interrogation room.
Her mind was almost blank; she couldn't even recognize people, let alone remember her own name.
Lin Yingyu stared intently at Fang Dajiao. She realized that this person might be someone from the Lin family before, but she had no recollection of him at all, and could only clench her fists tightly.
"It's been more than 20 years since the police officer left, and the Lin family has so many members. I was just an ordinary servant in their family, and I really can't remember what those young masters and young ladies looked like."
Fang Dajiao stared intently at Lin Yingyu for a long time before shaking his head.
Although Lin Yingyu has not worked all these years, how could Bai Xiangdong let her stay at home and eat for free?
She usually has to do housework and has given birth to four children, raising them all by herself. Although she is younger than most of her peers in the factory area who have to balance work and family, she is still different from the previous wives in the Lin family.
Fang Dajiao had never dared to stare at the faces of those ladies before, only being impressed by their fine silks and jewels. Looking at Lin Yingyu's haggard and sallow face and her ordinary clothes, she had absolutely no connection with the Lin family.
Lin Yingyu slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
The interrogators exchanged glances, and although they were mentally prepared, they still couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, she could be sentenced to death for murder alone, but in order to investigate the Lin family's background, it is necessary to find out her true identity.
Unfortunately, even Bai Xiangdong, who had already relented, only knew that she was a young lady from the Lin family, and knew nothing else.
With so many members in the Lin family, spread across Southeast Asia, the United States, Britain, and France, any investigation that cannot determine her true identity would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
"Officer, may I leave now?"
Fang Dajiao's mind was still blank. She was afraid of the atmosphere in the police station, and since she didn't recognize anyone, she didn't dare to stay any longer and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"I'll have someone take you out."
She was quickly taken out, and Lin Yingyu remained the same in the interrogation room, so everyone temporarily gave up interrogating her.
Fang Dajiao followed the police out, keeping her head down the whole way and not daring to look around.
As soon as he stepped outside, he bumped into a group of people—the police officers who had gone to the Northeast to bring the Bai sisters back for questioning.
After several days of continuous train travel, everyone looked exhausted, especially the Bai sisters.
Bai Jiamei looked gloomy. She knew that in this era, once Chen Hongxia was associated with capitalism, it meant that her children would also be branded.
She might be called a "black five categories" child in the future, which is unfortunate. It's bad enough that she, a perfectly good female lead, has become an ordinary person, but now she's going to become a prisoner.
I used to think that since I was familiar with the development of this era, I would definitely be able to make a name for myself.
Now I realize how ridiculous I was.
They had been interrogated countless times back in Northeast China, and they were under strict guard all the way here by train.
Let alone an outsider like her who didn't know that Chen Hongxia was hiding so many things, even Bai Jiamei probably didn't know anything before.
She really is a killer.
Bai Jiamei has spilled everything she knows like beans, wishing she could disembowel herself to prove her innocence, but unfortunately no one believes her.
After a few days, she turned ashen-faced and wished she could die immediately so she could return to her original world.
She looked unwell, and Bai Rongjun next to her looked even worse.
After Bai Rongjun was caught by Lu Hai in that small courtyard, everything that followed felt like a dream.
She knew that by helping Zhou Han escape, she had gotten herself into his smuggling case, and her future was bleak.
She had a good plan: she would try her best to distance herself from the situation and say that Zhou Han forced her to do so, and that none of it was her intention.
Since Zhou Han has already gotten into trouble, she can't let him drag her down with him. Besides, she never intended to get involved in those things.
It's all his fault! Why did he smuggle it into the black market?!
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the people around us!"
Bai Rongjun was desperate and grasped at straws, still hoping that the villagers and educated youth could testify for her. If she had known this day would come, she certainly wouldn't have been passive and would have tried her best to get along with everyone.
No one believed she hadn't profited from Zhou Han's smuggling activities, just as no matter how much Zhou Han tried to take the blame, everyone assumed she was an accomplice.
She could tell that no one believed her. "My older brother can testify for me. I am Lu Yang's sister from that day."
Everyone sat quietly watching her bite people in a fit of rage. Lu Yang and his team had come to provide support, but had already returned to their original units.
Because of the relationship between the Lu family and the Bai family, he had already been suspended from his duties pending investigation.
“We are aware of your situation. Now let’s talk about your mother. Do you know her true identity?”
"...What do you mean?" Bai Rongjun suddenly couldn't understand what they were saying and subconsciously thought they were joking. "Who else could my mother be but Chen Hongxia?"
They looked up and gave her a meaningful look.
"The real Chen Hongxia was murdered by your mother. She went to great lengths to conceal her identity and infiltrate the country for over twenty years. What do you think her real purpose was?"
Bai Rongjun was stunned by their news and it took her a long time to piece together the complete meaning.
"How could this be? Impossible!"
Although Bai Rongjun grew up in the Lu family, she always knew that Chen Hongxia was her biological mother. In her heart, her mother and Aunt He were the same, and they both loved her very much.
She had older siblings to take care of, and her father only loved her brother. Even so, Chen Hongxia gave her almost as much love and care as He Shuhui.
Bai Rongjun used to rely heavily on He Shuhui, but after experiencing so much, she realized that the only person who truly loved her unconditionally was her mother.
After weighing the pros and cons, Aunt He has come to regard her as a stranger.
"The evidence is conclusive, and it was she who confessed. The body has also been found. Now we need to confirm her true identity."
Bai Rongjun couldn't believe it and remained stunned for a long time without uttering a single word.
She still couldn't believe that her mother was a murderer and a spy.
