Pei Yanan and He Chengan returned home after dinner. They quickly ate the dinner left by Zhang Peiyao and gave Yi Jie several looks, asking her to go to He Chengan's house and wait for them, as if they had important news to report.

Yi Jie raised her eyebrows, took the key and left the house.

I didn't wait long on the sofa before Pei Yanan and He Chengan came over in a flash.

"What did you find out? It's so mysterious." Yi Jie stood up and sat upright.

He Chengan picked up the water cup, tilted his head back and took a sip, then slowly spoke about his discovery today.

"Yanan and I have inquired from many sources and have confirmed three points. Nie Shuang'er's family received hush money from Zhang Huimin, and there must have been threats, but we don't know what they were. Nie Shuang'er probably committed suicide and had a difficult delivery. People in the village said that she died undignifiedly, with cuts on her wrists. The last point is that some time ago, a strange girl in a green cotton jacket came to the village to look for Nie's family. She stayed for less than an hour and left. She was in a daze when she left. We checked the road surveillance and it was indeed Chen Lili."

Yi Jie pieced the information together and roughly understood the reasons that eventually led to Chen Lili's suicide. Some stimulating conversation must have taken place in the Nie family that completely wiped out her will to live.

Perhaps, the content written on the note was about this conversation, or perhaps it was closely related to her mother's death that year.

"What is the current situation of the Nie family?"

"The Nie family is one of the largest families in the entire village. From what the villagers said, they started to make their fortune in the year Nie Shuang'er passed away. They were extremely poor before. I heard that Nie Shuang'er has always had a bad relationship with her family, and they have basically had no contact since she married Chen Xiangqun." Pei Yanan continued.

Then everything makes sense. No wonder Zhang Huimin and Chen Ruoyao treated Chen Lili so unscrupulously. It turned out that Chen Lili's greatest support had long been blinded by money and would never support her.

Now she just needs to wait for Su Rui to restore the letter. There should be news tomorrow. She has greeted Su Rui and will inform her of the restoration result as soon as possible.

Chen Ruoyao, who is far away abroad, is not having a good time now. Because she couldn't get through to Jack on the phone these two days, the process of changing her nationality was stuck, and the Chinese Embassy in the United States called her several times today to urge her to return to China as soon as possible to cooperate with the investigation.

Chen Ruoyao had no choice but to follow her memory and run to the bar that Jack had mentioned, only to find that it had been sealed off by the police. There were many onlookers, and groups of young women walked out of the bar, some of whom were so thin that they were just skin and bones.

"Oh my God, these people are so abominable, these girls are all victims!"

"It seems that the evil deeds of this bar are more terrible than what is said on the Internet."

"Where are the main criminals? I want to judge them!"

……

Chen Ruoyao was in a trance when she saw Jack and his group being taken away by the police. It seemed as if things were heading in an uncontrollable direction.

No, this can't be possible! Chen Ruoyao hurried home and packed her luggage. The most real sense of crisis in her heart told her that it would be too late if she didn't run away.

I stuffed all my valuables into the suitcase, put a few pieces of clothes in it, and didn't take any cosmetics with me. Then I grabbed my passport and the suitcase and rushed downstairs.

Before she had run 100 meters, a group of men in black surrounded her.

"You, who are you?" Chen Ruoyao stepped back repeatedly.

"Ms. Chen Ruoyao, please follow us back to the embassy and take the earliest flight back home tomorrow." The leading man showed his ID photo in front of Chen Ruoyao.

"You have no right to control me. This is civil liberties, and this is America! Not China. I can call the police." Chen Ruoyao is still resisting.

"I'm sorry, but as long as you are a Chinese citizen, you must always abide by Chinese laws. The American police have no right to interfere. Please." The man asked the people behind him to restrain Chen Ruoyao, half-pulled her into the car, and drove towards the embassy.

Chen Ruoyao has become a turtle in a jar, unable to stir up any trouble. As long as she returns to China and is interrogated strictly, everything will be revealed.

A replica of Chen Lili's suicide note was sent to Yi Jie's mobile phone early the next morning.

Hello stranger:

I don’t know who will be the first person to see this letter, so I can only call you this.

I'm sorry that my appearance may scare you, but I can't think of any other way to get rid of it except this. I am penniless and my body is in tatters. I don't think I can hold on for much time.

I still had hope for life, but when I learned that I was an unwanted child, all those ridiculous family complexes were completely extinguished.

I have never received healthy fatherly and motherly love since I was a child, but at least they are there, and I can still deceive myself. However, after everything was shattered like a mirage, I finally couldn't bear it anymore.

My mother, I thought she left this world early, but she must have loved me deeply. When my nominal grandparents told me the truth, strangely, I couldn't cry, maybe because I cried too many times in the past six months.

They said that when my mother found out that my father had cheated on her, she complained about my existence many times and even secretly took abortion pills. The doctor saved her. Did you know that? I was already more than eight months pregnant at that time. Did she really not expect me to be born at all? She would rather risk her life to strangle me. Later, she chose to cut her wrists. Maybe she also wanted to take me with her. Unfortunately, I was the only one who survived this time.

Why let me live? Dad... He doesn't love me either. That home doesn't belong to me. Rather than being called a daughter, I should be called a slave. I never dared to hope for everything that should belong to me, because that woman would say that I shouldn't take it. As an outsider, I should have a sense of propriety and know what to do and what not to do.

This liar, she has deceived me for so many years, making me live in fear in this so-called "home" and obey her arrangements. She is obviously the one who stole the things! Why does she do evil to me without any pressure?

My sister recklessly ruined my life and led me into endless darkness. I resented and hated her, but what could I do? I could only blame myself for being stupid and always longing for the pitiful family affection. In my dreams, I would see everything that happened on the night I was drugged. The cold needle pierced my skin, and the injected liquid was so dirty, but I could never get away from it.

These days, whenever the addiction comes, I bang my head against the wall like crazy, and my whole body feels pain and itchiness. I have endured it many times.

My grandparents don’t like me or my mom. They say that since my mom is disobedient, I won’t be a good person either. Indeed, I am terrible.

They already have children and grandchildren, and they don't need me to join them. They kicked me out like a beggar, asking me not to disturb their lives anymore. How ridiculous!

I defeated the body, but lost to the inner shackles.

Now I have nothing left and I can’t think of the meaning of living. Maybe it’s best to leave without any worries and just go on like this. Anyway, I shouldn’t have come to this world. Staying in Wen County can be considered a return to my roots.

I sincerely hope that you who read this letter have a happy family and many loved ones. Finally, I would like to ask you for one thing. I want to scatter my ashes into the river, not to be buried underground. That would be too lonely and restrictive. I want to coexist freely with nature and see all the scenery I have never seen in this life. That should be very happy. Thank you, thank you.

Chen Lili's last words

After reading the entire letter, Yi Jie's heart sank to the bottom. She thought, Chen Lili could have become a kind-hearted girl with a happy life, and everything would have been completely different. It was the evildoers and the fate that played tricks on her.

Now that the person is gone, let the culprits who are still alive in the world bear the sins that should have belonged to them.

Chen Ruoyao, Zhang Huimin, Chen Xiangqun, and the cold-hearted Nie family, none of them can escape!

Yi Jie wanted to fulfill Chen Lili's final wish. During the summer vacation, she wanted to find a piece of blue sea and make it her home. Chen Lili in heaven would be shocked if she knew that. After all, the two of them had always disliked each other and would never show a good face to each other during the years they had been together.

You didn't expect it, Chen Lili, that I was the one who sent you off in the end. You! Be a good person in your next life, don't be spoiled and unreasonable, use your brain more, don't be led by others, and be happy! Yi Jie wiped away the tears from her eyes and made the most sincere wish in her heart.

After receiving the repair documents sent back by Su Rui, Uncle Ge immediately applied for an arrest warrant for Chen Ruoyao as a suspect.

Chen Ruoyao was handcuffed and taken to Wen County Detention Center as soon as she got off the plane at Jianan Airport. She was shouting loudly at first, but she became speechless when she saw the police put solid evidence in front of her.

After being interrogated all night, Chen Ruoyao's psychological quality was very poor, and she was completely cleared in just three hours.

Not only did she and Zhang Huimin verbally persecute and threaten Chen Lili since she was a child, she also framed Chen Lili for drug addiction and forced her to work in the pornography industry abroad to profit for herself. Zhang Huimin also took advantage of Chen Xiangqun's business trip to show off in front of his original wife Nie Shuang'er, and frankly admitted that Chen Xiangqun's company property had been divided into half of her, and Nie Shuang'er's position as the legal wife had long been in name only, and she was the indirect culprit who led to Nie Shuang'er's suicide.

Because they were afraid that the truth would be exposed, they would transfer 150,000 yuan to the Nie family every year to keep them quiet.

Chen Ruoyao even confessed a lot about Chen Xiangqun's shady business operations. Now she just wants to behave well and try to get a lighter sentence.

But this was all because she was too naive and took it for granted. The difference between indirect murder and direct murder is just the difference between whether or not the person did it. She had evil thoughts in her heart and had done a lot of bad things, so she could not be forgiven. What's more, Chen Lili's case also involved a vicious industry abroad, and the country would impose a heavy sentence to make an example of her. No matter what happened to Zhang Huimin, Chen Ruoyao had no hope in this life, so she had to atone for her sins in prison.

On the night before the college entrance examination, I heard from Uncle Ge that Zhang Huimin and Chen Ruoyao, mother and daughter, met in the detention center. They hugged each other and cried for an hour, which made the surrounding criminals with bad tempers so loud that they gave each of them a big slap. The two were so scared that they huddled in a corner and trembled, not daring to make a sound.

Almost all of Chen Xiangqun and the Nie family's property was defined as illegal income and had to be turned over. It can be said that for greedy and selfish people, this was more painful than taking their lives. After years of hard work, everything was gone in one day and it would be difficult to turn things around.

After this blow, Chen Xiangqun's mind was no longer normal. He kept saying "retribution" every day, and even lost the basic ability to take care of himself. He had to be taken home by Chen's parents to be taken care of. It is said that his eldest brother and sister-in-law were very dissatisfied and complained about their mentally retarded brother. Sooner or later, he will explode.

Yi Jie felt very happy to hear this. It takes evil to deal with evil.

Yi Jie did not tell her family the details, but only told them that Zhang Huimin and Chen Ruoyao had committed a crime and would be sentenced. She was worried that everyone would not be able to bear the blow. To Yi Jie, Zhang Huimin was an insignificant person, but to her grandparents, she was the daughter they raised, and to her aunt, she was a sister who had been with her since childhood. No matter how much they were dissatisfied with her, the relationship of blood was thicker than water and could not be severed.

Although the wording was as subtle as possible, it still caused them a lot of hurt. When grandpa and grandma heard the news, their backs became more hunched. Grandma covered her face and cried softly, and grandpa beat his chest and stamped his feet, blaming himself for not teaching his daughter well. It took a long time for aunt and mother to persuade the two old people to calm down. After sending grandpa and grandma to rest, aunt and mother drank and talked all night in the living room for the first time. Yi Jie heard the two sobbing in the room and sighed slightly in her heart.

I hope that after this incident, my second aunt will realize her mistakes and live a decent life after serving her sentence, otherwise the whole family will feel sad.

Seeing Zhang Peiyao's red and swollen eyes, Yi Jie didn't ask any more questions and told Yi Chen to be a good boy and not to ask questions like a curious baby and stir up his mother's sad things.

"Xiao Jie, you have an exam tomorrow, right?" Pei Yanan cleverly asked a question to divert Zhang Peiyao's attention.

"Are everything ready?" Zhang Peiyao looked at Yi Jie.

"Okay, okay, I'll check the test bag every day, don't worry." Yi Jie patted her chest.

"That's good. We have to eat well these two days. I need to think carefully about what dishes to cook. Alas, there are too many things to do and I haven't prepared in advance." Zhang Peiyao's mood became low again.

"Mom, I want to eat the sour radish and old duck soup you made, the corn and pork dumplings made by grandma, and grandpa's braised pork trotters..." Yi Jie listed a long list of dishes.

"If you don't know, you would think that you would take the exam for dozens of days and that you would need the whole family to come and prepare meals for you during the college entrance examination."

"Isn't that the only time in life? And your daughter is striving to be the top scorer in the imperial examination, so her diet must be adjusted to the highest level!" Yi Jie wrapped her arms around Zhang Peiyao like a playful child.

"Oh, there's nothing I can do about you. I'll go talk to them today and tell them I'm really impressed by you." Zhang Peiyao finally smiled, which made Yi Jie feel more relieved and she started to joke even more.

The best way to divert attention is to find something to do. Yi Jie thinks that this arrangement is not bad. She is taking the college entrance examination, which is a great event, isn't it? She will definitely do her best to treat it. When the good news comes, the worries about family affairs will be dispelled.
