"Sister Chen, your family always looked down on me back then, and Hongxia didn't come with me. Now, the moment we meet, you slander me. Do I owe your family anything?"
Bai Xiangdong lowered his hand, his eyes staring at Sister Chen with a terrifying look. Half of his shoulder was covered in blood, making him look like a demon crawling out of hell.
"Officer, you have to stand up for us! She has no evidence whatsoever, how dare she slander me!"
"My wife's name is Hongxia. It's just a coincidence that we have the same name. Go ask around and see how many people are named Hongxia."
He seemed to have found a pillar of support and almost jumped up to refute Sister Chen.
"You bastard, you're the one who tricked my sister away back then. You heartless wretch, if it weren't for our family giving you a bite to eat, you'd be wandering the streets somewhere, a lost soul."
Her sister was only seventeen when she passed away!
"Alright, comrade, don't get agitated. Once we've investigated the matter thoroughly, we'll definitely give you an explanation."
The police officers finally managed to separate the two men, and they had a feeling that this matter was definitely not simple and that there was something else hidden behind it.
"Take them over there and question them separately!"
The Bai family has lived here for over 20 years and are workers in the machinery factory. If they really are spies, who knows how many state secrets they have leaked.
Bai Xiangdong refused. His head was spinning, and he only knew that once he entered the police station, everything would be over.
"I'm not going, so why are you locking me up!"
He started jumping up and down again, and when Sister Chen saw him like that, she could no longer contain her raging anger.
This heartless bastard dares to deny it. Sister Chen had worked in the fields all her life and was in a fit of anger. Her two sons also clenched their fists and did not try to stop her.
This time, Bai Xiangdong was on guard and tilted his head back. Sister Chen didn't bite his ear but bit his cheek instead.
With her other hand, she gouged at his eyes, the force of which was terrifying, and a hole was bitten into his cheek.
Bai Xiangdong covered his eyes and screamed in agony, even more violently than when his ear was bitten earlier.
His eyes were burning with pain, and he couldn't open either eye. He covered his eyes, sat on the ground, and cried out that he was going to go blind.
He slashed several bloody wounds on Sister Chen's neck. When her two sons saw that their mother was injured, they rushed over and kicked Bai Xiangdong.
"Stop it, all of you! What do you think this police station is?! If you keep causing trouble, you'll all be arrested!"
Chen's two sons supported her, but she pushed their hands away and looked at Lin Yingyu.
"Where's Hongxia?!"
She didn't believe their nonsense. This woman was distracted when she was summoned; she must be feeling guilty.
"Murder! The police officers have killed someone!"
Bai Xiangdong covered his eyes and wailed, hoping that the police would arrest this madman.
The two were about to start arguing again, much to the police's dismay. The matter was still under investigation, and Ms. Chen would have to pay the price for injuring someone at the police station.
Just as they were about to break up the fight, Lin Yingyu, who had been keeping her head down, looked up.
"Chestnut Slope".
"What Chestnut Slope?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiangdong disregarded his injured eyes and cheeks and immediately stood up, groping around and waving his fists like a blind man.
The sinister voice directly warned Lin Yingyu, "What nonsense are you spouting? I'm asking you a question!"
His expression and voice were very fierce, but unfortunately his face was covered in blood, and he couldn't open his eyes as he groped around, making him look quite ridiculous.
Lin Yingyu felt a surge of pleasure as she looked at his grotesque appearance.
She had known for over twenty years that this man was utterly incompetent. She figured that all her struggles back then were just a joke when he saw that she was driven to the brink of despair.
Just like how she sees him now.
She has wronged Hongxia; for the past twenty years, she has been living off Hongxia's life.
Sister Chen understood everything. Her body went limp and she fell straight backward. Her two sons quickly caught her.
The police officers realized what was happening and quickly sent people to search for this Chestnut Slope.
----
Although Lu Yang had been training in the camp as usual these past few days, Xin'an had already called his superior.
After taking Bai Xiangdong and his wife into custody, the police organized a group of people to search Lizipo. Based on Lin Yingyu's confession, they found the place where Chen Hongxia was buried.
When Bai Xiangdong handed the knife to Lin Yingyu, instructing her to kill Chen Hongxia, he had no choice but to plunge the knife into her chest.
Before that, Bai Xiangdong had already poisoned Chen Hongxia. She was lying on the bed, feeling dizzy, but the intense pain in her chest woke her up.
Chen Hongxia clutched her chest, looking at the two of them helplessly.
After Lin Yingyu finished, she sat on the ground and broke down in tears. When Bai Xiangdong saw that she could still sit up, a look of fear flashed across his face.
"……Why?"
They had no food, and Chen Hongxia and Bai Xiangdong had long since run out of money. Only when Lin Yingyu took out her own silver coins could they exchange them for something.
Although Chen Hongxia didn't want her money, she knew that without money at this time she would starve to death, so she could only repay her later.
"Why?" Lin Yingyu wasn't very strong, and in her panic, she hadn't inserted the needle deeply. Chen Hongxia, clutching her wound, looked at them weakly.
She was puzzled; one was a good friend she met on the street, and the other was her childhood sweetheart and fiancé.
She had never noticed anything amiss between them before. Even if they were having an affair, they could have left together. Why did they have to kill her?
Lin Yingyu was trapped in her own grief and guilt when Bai Xiangdong saw that she was still alive.
Not wanting to cause any further trouble, he steeled himself and covered Chen Hongxia's mouth, then stabbed the knife in hard.
After she stopped struggling, they dragged her out and returned a while later after washing their hands.
He originally planned to tie Chen Hongxia's body to stones and throw it into the river so that he would have no worries about the future, but Lin Yingyu refused.
"We've already killed her, so let her be laid to rest."
So Bai Xiangdong buried her under a big tree, a place Lin Yingyu had chosen, from which one could look all the way south.
I hope she can go to the South and start a new life in her next life.
More than 20 years have passed, and the place has changed completely. The police found the tree, and the Chen family also came over.
They heard the news from Sister Chen and rushed over, standing there with sorrowful expressions.
This matter had been kept from Aunt Chen, but she seemed to have a premonition, and these days she stopped talking about her youngest daughter.
She just lay in bed groaning and moaning, and everyone who heard her was heartbroken and wept.
Soon the remains were unearthed, and they found the knife that Lin Yingyu had mentioned in the chest area.
