Ye Nuan sat on the bed alone for a while before the heat on her face subsided.

How could she forget what Gu Hanchuan does?

They can even arrest and interrogate enemy agents, so how could they not handle this small situation?

The more Ye Nuan thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt today.

A moment later, Gu Hong knocked on the door from the outside: "Nuan Nuan, it's your aunt, may I come in?"

"Please come in!"

That's why people from such large families are so well-mannered.

This is clearly Gu Hong's home, but people are still being so polite to her, as the new daughter-in-law, out of consideration for her feelings and status.

"I noticed you didn't eat much at the restaurant, so I cooked you a bowl of noodles. Eat up."

Even without Gu Hong mentioning it, Ye Nuan didn't feel hungry. In fact, she had eaten about 60% full at the restaurant, since Gu Hanchuan kept putting food on her plate.

Seeing this bowl of noodles now, and smelling its rich aroma, I'm actually feeling hungry.

"Thank you, aunt."

"Eat quickly. Our dinner might be a little late. Han Chuan went to investigate today's events, and your uncle also went back to his unit to investigate. After all, Ye Hai works for the Bureau of Commerce. With such a big incident, even he, as the director, can't stay out of it."

It's not that serious, really.

Ye Hai was just an ordinary staff member; why would the director of the Labor Bureau need to intervene?

Ultimately, Song Shaofeng was giving the Ye family face by deliberately showing everyone that Ye Hai also had someone protecting him.

"Thank you, Auntie. I didn't expect to cause you so much trouble."

"We're all family, no need to trouble yourself! You eat first, I'll go outside and boil some more water."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Auntie."

Meanwhile, Gu Hanchuan was working with the two police officers to verify handwriting and interrogate the colleague who provided Ye Hai with the information.

Gu Hanchuan had interrogated countless enemy agents; his experience was simply too rich to count!

So the man didn't last long before he confessed.

“I did put a booklet in it for him, and I also wrote a passage in English on one of the quotations of Chairman Mao. But I was forced to do it. If I didn’t, he would sue me. I had no choice.”

"Indict you for what?"

The man shrank back, but finally had to confess that he had gambled with some friends and never expected that someone would catch him red-handed.

Soon, someone found what the young men from the Public Security Brigade were looking for in the archives.

These two items, along with a pamphlet promoting the new policy, were lying quietly on the ground.

This was given to Gu Hanchuan by Ye Nuan before he left, along with her own ideas.

Gu Hanchuan was somewhat frightened when he learned that his wife and Ye Hai had discovered the item the night before and hidden it instead of destroying it.

After arriving at the Bureau of Commerce, Gu Hanchuan took the opportunity of investigating a case to go into the archives room and then threw the things on the ground.

And just like that, the fact that the man had clearly plotted against Ye Hai, yet failed to find anything in Ye Hai's house, was perfectly explained.

This is not surprising, since several colleagues know that Ye Hai took a lot of documents back last night.

It's normal for books to fall.

The man admitted to framing Ye Hai, but denied the existence of the whistleblower letter.

Moreover, the handwriting analysis confirmed that it was not his.

However, the card player who threatened him was also arrested.

He wrote the whistleblower letter.

However, he was not the mastermind.

Gu Hanchuan originally intended to review the case further, but Song Shaofeng stopped him midway through.

"This matter involves the Liu family, so you shouldn't get involved for now. With the evidence we have right now, even if we present it all, we can't do anything to the Liu family. At most, it will cause a falling out, but the Liu family won't suffer any major losses, and we won't benefit either."

The Liu family offered a way out. Just before I told you to go find them, the gambler who was arrested confessed that he orchestrated everything and even wrote the whistleblower letter. There's no way he would implicate the Liu family.

Gu Hanchuan frowned: "The Liu family, the ones who wanted to force my cousin to marry you?"

Song Shaofeng nodded: "That's right. We can't bring him down yet, so we can only endure it. But the Liu family just called me. They said that this kind of thing will never happen again and they are willing to provide compensation."

"Is the Liu family also involved in the false accusation against my father-in-law?"

Song Shaofeng nodded: "Nine times out of ten, they can't escape responsibility."

"I don't remember the Ye family having any conflicts with the Liu family. Besides, the Liu family has always been arrogant and haughty. Why would they take the initiative to attack an ordinary working-class family?"

Song Shaofeng sighed: "It might have something to do with your young wife."

"Ok?"

"Liu Lihua, the daughter of the Liu family, is engaged to Wu Xingbang. I heard they are also preparing for their wedding."

Upon hearing this, Gu Hanchuan understood.

"But what does this have to do with the Ye family? Nuan Nuan only met Wu Xingbang once through a matchmaker, and she didn't even agree to date him. So why is Liu Lihua targeting Nuan Nuan? Besides, Nuan Nuan is going to marry me, what else could she possibly be upset about?"

Logically speaking, that is indeed the case.

But the facts are right in front of him, and Song Shaofeng still can't figure out what Liu Lihua is after.

"You should go back first. The Liu family will send someone over to talk to me about compensation later. You can ask the Ye family what they think and give me a definite answer."

"I understand, uncle."

Ye Hai had no particular ideas; he was young and impulsive, and wanted to arrest the person and send him to the police station directly.

But the problem is, there is no direct evidence, and those who have had contact with the Liu family do not admit it. What can they do?

Ye Hai punched the wall, his anger evident on his face.

“I know this matter has caused your family to suffer, but fortunately, your innocence has been cleared in the end. However, there is really nothing that can be done about the Liu family now. My uncle also said that there is not enough evidence, and the Liu family has always been vindictive. If things are not done according to their wishes this time, it will never end.”

The Ye family is just an ordinary family; who could stand this?

If people come to search and report us every few days, how can we live like this?

Are you still going to work?

Should we continue supporting our family?

The reality is what it is, and Ye Hai, though unwilling, can only keep it to himself.

"I understand, brother-in-law. This time, we owe you a lot. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to investigate so quickly. I know that everyone did it because of you."

“We’re family, it’s only right that I do this. Go back and discuss it with your father-in-law and see how you want the Liu family to compensate you.”

Ye Hai smiled wryly: "Can I say I don't want it? Even if they offered me money, I would feel disgusted holding it!"

Gu Hanchuan remained silent. When faced with someone you can't afford to offend, you do indeed feel this sense of powerlessness and frustration.
