To make up for the debt owed to Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

After Lin Qingping said "there is evidence," Gao Dashan's face clearly changed color.

"What...what evidence do you have?" Gao Dashan's momentum had diminished considerably, but he remained resolute, refusing to admit anything.

Lin Qingping smiled slightly, "Those slanderous words posted on the wall to defame me were posted by Feng Debao! Someone saw them! If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Doesn't the educated designer Gao understand this?"

Gao Dashan's confidence suddenly returned. "Did anyone see it? Who saw it? Make him step forward!" His confidence stemmed from the fact that it was posted in the dead of night, and who could be in the factory area at that hour? Besides, Feng Debao said that he checked when he posted it and there was no one there!

Xiaoqin, who was standing to the side, was about to speak when Lin Qingping stopped her.

Lin Qingping laughed and said, "Of course I won't reveal his name. What if I did? Would it be easier for you to target him? I have even more important evidence!"

Gao Dashan stared intently at her. If eyes could hide knives, he would have torn her to pieces long ago.

"Your good brother-in-law, Feng Debao, likes to have a drink or two, right? What a coincidence, the three of us also love to eat well. Your brother-in-law got drunk at a restaurant and started spouting nonsense to his cronies, saying how he was going to mess with me and make me unable to stay at the factory. I just happened to overhear it. And coincidentally, my brother-in-law bought a new tape recorder that day, and we were playing around at the restaurant. I unethically recorded it. Does that count as evidence?" Lin Qingping sneered.

Gao Dashan's face immediately turned ashen.

"Oh, right, your brother-in-law specifically mentioned that you instructed him to do this. I recorded all of this, and I'll hand it all over to the police when they arrive..."

Unbeknownst to Lin Qingping, a path had quietly been cleared in the crowd on the first floor, then the stairs, then the second-floor corridor—a path just wide enough for one person to pass through—and someone was quickly walking up this path.

No sooner had Lin Qingping finished speaking than a woman's roar erupted from inside, "You whore! Isn't it enough that you're seducing men everywhere in the factory? What are you doing causing trouble at my doorstep!"

Then, a large, dark object flew out and headed straight for Lin Qingping.

Lin Qingping was about to dodge, but a hand blocked her way, firmly stopping the thing from falling to the ground with a loud clatter.

It turned out to be a wok!

However, Lin Qingping no longer cared to see what was on the ground.

She glanced to the side and could hardly believe her eyes!

She rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things!

It's really him!

It was Gu Juncheng!

She exclaimed joyfully, "Why are you here?"

His expression was grim, cold, and he was suppressing his anger. "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't know how badly you were bullied!"

Lin Qingping wanted to ask, where was she being bullied? She could handle it herself, okay?

Then, a greater commotion arose in the crowd, and people on the stairs and on the first floor dispersed: the police had arrived.

Gu Youlian, who had gone to report the crime, also arrived. Upon seeing her younger brother, she burst into tears, crying, "Chengzi! What are you doing here? You've finally come! Your wife has been ruined by all this!"

Lin Qingping was speechless. These two siblings truly lived up to their reputation as siblings!

Since you've called the police, you should bring everyone involved in this matter to the police station.

After a preliminary investigation into the incident, Gao Dashan, Lin Qingping, Section Chief Fu and his wife, and the others who fought with Section Chief Fu's wife all went to the police station.

All that's missing is a Feng Debao.

The excitement of the day was almost over. As the crowd gradually dispersed, a man ran out, wanting to go with the police.

“I! I saw Feng Debao posting it everywhere that night, I saw it with my own eyes… I didn’t dare say anything before because I was afraid of their retaliation…”

The visitor was an acquaintance of Dugen's, the warehouse keeper, who was also Xiaoqin's father.

"Father! You've finally arrived!" Xiaoqin stamped her foot.

Feng Debao was already at the police station.

Lin Qingping saw him when she arrived at the police station. He looked dejected, with Xiao Tian and Du Gen standing next to him.

“I saw Du Gen chasing this guy from the car, so I asked Xiao Tian to get out and help chase him together,” Gu Juncheng said to Lin Qingping.

"Hmm!" Lin Qingping had so much to say to him, but it wasn't the right place or the right time to talk.

Once you arrive at the police station, there are established procedures to follow.

While Lin Qingping was explaining the situation to the police station, Gu Juncheng was waiting outside. But the whole incident, whether it was the paper full of foul language that Lin Qingping handed over or the obvious injury on her face, proved that she was a real victim. After she finished explaining the situation, he let her leave.

Lin Qingping went outside and saw Gu Juncheng in the jeep.

The car window was open.

It was already evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped the earth, also casting a faint golden hue over the car he was riding in.

His profile was framed in the window, bathed in golden light, his lines sharp and his features radiant.

It's so beautiful...

He suddenly moved in the car, turned his face, and frowned slightly. "What are you standing there like an idiot if you're not getting in the car?"

"Oh, oh!" She realized she was truly stunned and quickly ran forward.

He opened the car door for her, and she grabbed his clothes, using them as leverage to get into the car.

Only after the car door closed did she realize that there were other people sitting in the front seat.

The driver was Political Commissar Chen; I didn't recognize the other one.

"It's Commander Yu," he introduced simply.

"Greetings, Commander Yu!" Lin Qingping was a little embarrassed; how could she speak in this atmosphere?

Commander Yu tried his best to be amiable, but Lin Qingping was still uneasy!

"Did you hand over the tape? Should Du Gen go and collect it and hand it over to the police?" Gu Juncheng asked her.

“Cassette tape? What cassette tape?” Lin Qingping was completely dumbfounded.

Gu Juncheng frowned. "Didn't you say you recorded it?"

Lin Qingping: ...

Gu Juncheng suddenly realized, "You were lying to him?"

"In war... all's fair in war..." Lin Qingping felt a little guilty.

Gu Juncheng didn't say anything, but he made Commander Yu and Political Commissar Chen laugh heartily.

Commander Yu also said, "Little Gu, your wife is quite something!"

Commander Yu looked like an elder, and praising her was like praising his own children.

Gu Juncheng had a terrible headache. "Commander, stop praising her. If you keep praising her, she'll go to heaven!"

"Lin Qingping!" Gu Juncheng was really troubled. "Given today's situation, tell me, what would you have done if I hadn't happened to be passing by?"

Speaking of this, Lin Qingping also became curious, "Yes, how did you end up here?"

"Just passing by." Gu Juncheng closed his eyes. "I received all the letters my eldest sister wrote to me. I knew you were here, and I just happened to be passing by. The division commander told me to come and see you."
