Cao Jianjun sighed with a worried look on his face, then looked at his mother-in-law with sympathy.

In the end, he still chose to go to his sister-in-law, Zhou Cong.

"Normally, as a police officer, I cannot disclose details of the case to you because we have regulations."

"But we're family, and you're still my Huihui's older sister."

As he spoke, Cao Jianjun didn't forget to save face for his wife, and continued, "Although my brother-in-law was arrested for soliciting prostitution this time, he may be involved in other cases as well."

"Cao Jianjun, what do you mean?"

Zhou Cong, the sister-in-law's older sister, was still in shock and didn't react in time, while her mother-in-law completely exploded.

He rushed forward and pointed directly at Cao Jianjun's nose, saying, "You're hoping your brother-in-law won't get out, aren't you?"

"Mom, what do you mean by that?"

At this point, Zhou Hui, the daughter-in-law, couldn't stand it anymore: "It was my brother-in-law who broke the law and committed the crime, not our Jianjun."

"Ha! What a bunch of cops."

The mother-in-law knew she was in the wrong, but still relied on her seniority to angrily say, "If he's really capable, what's wrong with him helping to cover up your mistakes?"

"I think Cao Jianjun is a petty person who is deliberately seeking revenge."

“Sun Youguang did make a mistake, but all he did was find a woman outside. If Cao Jianjun really cared about his family, would he let someone in?”

"..."

Cao Jianjun had already experienced his mother-in-law's bizarre remarks before he transmigrated, so he wasn't surprised at all.

But his sister-in-law Zhou Cong, his wife Zhou Hui, and even his father-in-law were all dumbfounded.

The three people stared at each other, completely stunned.

Cao Jianjun couldn't help but laugh: "Old lady, so you own this police station?"

What are you saying?

The mother-in-law, still furious, continued, "Let me tell you, Cao Jianjun, don't think you can..."

"Definitely!"

Cao Jianjun didn't care about the old woman's tricks at all, and waved his hand impatiently: "Old lady, I have to give you a friendly reminder because you're my mother-in-law."

As he spoke, Cao Jianjun pointed to his sister-in-law: "Sun Youguang's matter is a huge one."

"Over the years, he must have spent a lot of money on his family, right? Have you investigated whether that money was clean or not?"

“If Sun Youguang doesn’t get out this time, I can’t guarantee how much your family has benefited from it, or whether you will be implicated.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Jianjun grabbed Zhou Hui's hand and turned to leave, seeing the horrified look on his mother-in-law's face.

"Wife, let's go home and sleep."

"go!"

Zhou Hui felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.

Without even thinking, she grabbed her bag, turned around, took Cao Jianjun's arm, and left.

"Jianjun! Jianjun, wait a minute..."

The eldest sister-in-law, Zhou Cong, stood there stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly seemed to have thought of something.

As she spoke, she picked up her bag and hurried after him.

In the Zhou family's living room, in the blink of an eye, only the mother-in-law, half-terrified, and the father-in-law, so angry he was speechless, remained.

The moment the door slammed shut, the father-in-law, who was leaning against the sofa, finally spoke.

"Hey! You...you..."

The father-in-law pointed at his wife, sighed, and stood up: "Let's see what you're going to do now! Humph!"

…………

downstairs.

After Cao Jianjun and his wife came out, his sister-in-law Zhou Cong followed behind them, tears streaming down her face.

The three of them walked to a secluded pavilion in the residential area and finally sat down.

"Sis, what are you doing?"

Zhou Hui was very unwilling: "Even after all this, do you still feel sorry for that bastard Sun Youguang? Even if it's for the sake of the children, you should just get a divorce."

"I...I...I..."

Unlike her sister, Zhou Cong is not straightforward. Having been raised with her husband as the head of the household for so many years, she has long lost her own opinions.

Her eyes were red and her whole body was tense. She kept looking at Cao Jianjun: "Jianjun, you... your brother-in-law really can't get out?"

I can't go into too much detail.

Cao Jianjun looked helpless: "Before the case is fully investigated, you are a direct relative of the suspect. Even if we are family, we cannot reveal too much."

"I understand."

Sister-in-law Zhou Cong forced herself to remain calm, raising her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Alright, Jianjun, thank you for today."

"It's so late, you should go home first, you have to go to work tomorrow."

Cao Jianjun showed no embarrassment and got up to leave.

The daughter-in-law, Zhou Hui, was even more decisive. She held onto her husband's arm the whole time, offered her sister a few perfunctory words of comfort, and then the couple turned around and got into the car.

The car, with its lights on, slowly drove away from the residential area.

On the road.

Zhou Hui remained in a daze, unable to believe it, staring intently at Cao Jianjun the entire time, occasionally unable to suppress a smile.

"Hey, honey, I have flowers on my face. You've been staring at me the whole way here!"

Cao Jianjun said, both amused and exasperated, "Sun Youguang's arrest may make us feel better, but aren't you worried about your mother and sister?"

Why should I worry about them?

Zhou Hui looked completely bewildered and said, "We've been married for so many years, and every time I go back to your parents' home, you're always humiliated."

"All these years you've been humiliated by my mother, who has ever said a word for us?"

“Every time Sun Youguang goes back, he brings either gold and silver jewelry or precious medicinal herbs, and then my mother insults you again!”

"How many years has it been? Now her eldest son-in-law has broken the law, but it wasn't us who caused it, so why should I worry?"

It's clear that Zhou Hui harbors a great deal of resentment towards her mother and sister.

With this in mind, Cao Jianjun felt much more at ease.

Whether before or after his time travel, Cao Jianjun knew that Zhou Hui was a woman worth cherishing.

"husband!"

After venting her frustrations, Zhou Hui's face lit up with a smile. She blinked and playfully tugged her head towards him, saying, "You... why do you seem like a different person today?"

Have I changed?

Cao Jianjun pretended not to understand.

"changed."

Zhou Hui wrinkled her nose and made a face, saying, "You've become very cunning and shameless."

"is it?"

Cao Jianjun raised his eyebrows and said, "It's because I don't want my wife to suffer anymore. Even your parents can't bully you."

"Ho!"

Zhou Hui's almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise: "Cao Jianjun, you're amazing!"

"That is."

As they talked and laughed, the car stopped downstairs at their building. Cao Jianjun pulled the handbrake, turned around, and solemnly cupped Zhou Hui's cheeks in his hands.

"Wife, you've been wronged ever since you married me."

"So, I swear, from now on, no matter what happens, I will stand in front of you and I will not let you protect me anymore."

Zhou Hui pouted, her eyes reddening with emotion, and she and Cao Jianjun rested their heads together, looking into each other's eyes.

"husband!"

"Ok?"

"Then... can you promise me one thing?"

"what's up?"

"Promise me first."

"it is good!"

"Shall we have a baby tonight?"

"...".
