Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"Stop it!" Clorinde rushed into Zhou's house and shouted. When she saw the minions lying on the ground, especially Yaohui, her serious expression instantly disappeared.

"Officer Clorinde, you're finally here!" The moment Zhou Cheng saw Clorinde, he immediately crawled down the stairs to her feet. "Quick, this guy broke into my house and wanted to kill me. Please punish him according to the law!"

At this moment, Clorinde looked at Zhou Cheng on the ground, then looked at Yaohui in front of her, and for a moment she really didn't know how to start.

Yaohui hides his identity because he doesn't want people to know that he is a villain. If I reveal his identity to his face... well, forget it.

"Nice to meet you, Lady Clorinde." Yaohui walked towards her.

"Sir?" Clorinde was shocked and terrified when she heard this.

"Well, my name is Yaohui. The villagers of Zhoujiayu asked me to come here to help." Yaohui said calmly.

"I see. Then, Mr. Yaohui... could you please explain to me why you broke into a private house and caused such a commotion?" asked Clorinde.

"Because of this guy." Yaohui looked at Zhou Cheng lying on the ground beside him and said, "He was born in Zhoujiayu and was taken care of by the villagers. It would be fine if he didn't know how to be grateful, but he acted on his own and betrayed his teachers and ancestors just because of a rumor. He even demolished the ancestral hall that Zhoujiayu has worshipped for generations. This kind of person will be a disaster if he is allowed to live any longer!"

"Ahem..." Seeing Yaohui's attitude, Clorinde pretended to cough a few times. "Look, the villagers in Zhoujiayu have already told me everything you said. We're here to have him arrested and brought to justice."

As she spoke, Clorinde also looked at Zhou Cheng beside her.

Zhou Cheng was completely baffled. He was clearly the victim, so why was Clorinde so siding with the other party? Fortunately, being in jail was better than dying, as Zhou Shun worked there. With some connections, he could still get out.

"That's good." Yaohui snorted coldly, "Don't let him run away again."

"Of course." Clorinde smiled. She waved her hand to signal her men to take Zhou Cheng and the people who had fallen to the ground away. Then she looked at Yaohui again and said, "Mr. Yaohui, I wonder if you are free now. I have something I want to ask you."

"No problem." Yaohui nodded in agreement, and then the two of them walked together to a patch of grass in the park outside the Zhou family mansion.

After pausing for a moment, Clorinde thought again and again, then spoke awkwardly.

"grown ups……"

"Don't worry, there's something I want to ask you first." Yao Hui turned around and folded his arms. "Regarding Zhou Cheng's bullying and Zhou Shun's unauthorized release, do you know the inside story?"

"According to the villagers of Zhoujiayu, it has been three years since the incident happened. Don't tell me that you have no idea what they did during these three years." Yaohui said seriously.

Hearing this, Clorinde sighed and said, "Yes, in the past three years, Zhou Cheng has been bullying others by taking advantage of his power, and everything he did was very obvious. I also know that Zhou Shun released Zhou Cheng out of kinship."

"Then why didn't you step in and resolve it? You know, all along the way, people around me have been talking about how he violated the law, and you, as a manager, have remained indifferent!" Yaohui looked directly at Clorinde and asked, "Or do you think the law is no longer that important in your eyes?"

"No, Master Yaohui, I never dare to neglect the suffering of the masses. It's just that this matter involves so many things..." Clorinde lamented, revealing her thoughts. "Zhou Shun is a good police officer. I don't want him to ruin his future because of this matter, so..."

"So you're just going to let them do what they want?" Yao Hui said seriously, his arms folded in anger. "Excuse me, but if you knew he was hesitant about this matter, you should have told him to stay away instead of harboring covetous thoughts and letting them get even more outrageous!"

As he spoke, he sighed angrily, "In short, Zhou Cheng must pay the price for his actions. As for Zhou Shun, I've heard of his reputation along the way. Considering his past achievements, I'll temporarily withhold his position."

"Yes." Clorinde said respectfully.

Yaohui lowered his hands and followed the guards to the Security Bureau...

In the guard room, Zhou Cheng was pinned down on his seat by Mo Yan and the other three. He was being interrogated by Clorinde, while Yaohui stood outside the door and watched carefully.

"The above is the villagers' statement." said a young police officer holding a piece of paper.

"Go ahead and tell us everything you have done." Clorinde said seriously, while Zhou Cheng kept crying out for help.

"It's unfair, Lady Clorinde. I'm just an ordinary merchant. How could I dare to do such a thing? It's the guy outside the door who is trespassing on other people's territory. Why am I the one who came in?"

Clorinde did not respond to his question, but calmly called for the evidence.

"It seems that you don't intend to admit it, but it doesn't matter. After all, your thugs have already confessed your affairs." As she said this, she clapped her hands.

The door of the interrogation room was opened, and two guards, escorted by Yaohui, brought the gang leader into the room.

"Jia Long, tell me again why your boss asked you to go to Zhoujiayu this time." Clorinde said.

Jia Long was silent. He looked outside the door in horror. Yaohui was staring at him intently. His ferocious eyes seemed to tell him, "Don't forget what I said!" In an instant, he confessed everything.

"Lady Clorinde, everything I said is true! It was our boss who told us that there's a huge fortune hidden beneath the Zhou family ancestral hall, so we brothers were tempted. Furthermore, our boss promised to share the wealth with us once the project is completed. This is all true!"

After hearing what Jia Long said, Zhou Cheng immediately became unhappy.

"Lady Clorinde, don't listen to his nonsense. I, Zhou, don't even know him. He's making a false accusation!"

"Oh, is that so?" Clorinde said, "But it's not just him. Almost every one of the thugs we captured in your mansion, in order to survive, testified that you were the one who ordered them to do these heinous things. Are you trying to say you don't know them, too?"

"I..." Zhou Cheng was speechless after hearing this. "I want to protest, I want to find a lawyer. I didn't do any of this!"

"Protests are useless. Now that we have all the evidence, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape death!" Clorinde looked at the guards outside the door, "You guys, suppress them all!"

"Yes!"

The guards rushed into the room, quickly detained Zhou Cheng and walked out of the room. Even at this moment, Zhou Cheng still shouted that he would not obey.
