False evidence

Chapter 267 Diary (3)

The monkey's face flushed red: "What nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever slept with you!"

Xie Ximei shouted, "Yes, yes! Every time I said I was going to see a doctor, I was actually sleeping with him, right there on the clinic bed!"

The monkey's ears were practically spitting fire. "You son of a bitch..."

I calmed down and grabbed the monkey who was about to explode: "She's a mad dog! She bites people when her tail is stepped on! Just ignore what she says!"

Now I finally understand why it's monkeys that kill people.

Whether this woman was having an affair is debatable, but she also knew that if her man stumbled upon this scene, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even if she was in the right.

Since you can't explain it clearly, then throw a tantrum.

She was clever enough to shift the blame to Jiangdong and divert attention.

But she didn't know that while Monkey was usually polite, no man could tolerate being slandered like this. Especially since Monkey had been drinking.

In this situation, let alone hitting a woman, killing her wouldn't be an exaggeration.

The monkey couldn't hold back, and Meng Chao was even less able to control his temper.

As for Min Hang, well, he took advantage of the moment when Monkey loosened his grip, broke free from his hold, grabbed two bottles, and swung them directly at the tall guy's head:
"Fuck your mother, you slept with my wife, and you even tried to hit my sister! Fuck..."

It can only be said that Pidan is popular; even at this point, Minhang has not forgotten to target those who want to harm her.

The tall guy was a real coward; as soon as his head was cracked open, he lay down on the ground, crying and yelling for the police.

"What are you doing!"

A voice roared.

Gao He stormed in, pointed at Min Hang, and shouted, "Put the bottle down! Come here!"

"Who the hell are you..."

Upon seeing Gao show his identification, the hot pot restaurant fell completely silent.

Pidan glanced at me sideways and whispered, "I sent the message to Brother Gao."

Once Gao and Yi arrived, the situation became much easier to control.

He was always straightforward and blunt. After asking about the situation, he directly asked the tall guy if he was alright. If he was, he should go to the police station; if not, he should go to the hospital.

The other party was probably feeling guilty, so they simply carried the tall guy to the hospital.

"You two! If you can make it work, then make it work; if you can't, then get a divorce! If you have something to say, just say it, don't resort to violence!"

Gao He sternly said to Min Hang, "And another thing! You smashed things in someone's shop, you have to pay for it!"

Leaving the couple behind, I grabbed the monkey and headed back.

The monkey remained indignant: "I have absolutely nothing to do with her! She looks so normal and respectable, but deep down she's not even human! Tell me! Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

After Gao He understood the situation, he scoffed and said, "It's normal for a mad dog to bite people randomly. Conversely, can a person bite a dog?"

Meng Chao laughed and said, "That won't do. If you fight with a dog, you're better than the dog if you win, worse than the dog if you lose, and just the same as the dog if you draw. Hehe, no matter what, the human always loses."

Even the monkey couldn't help but laugh: "Damn it, I really have to tell a few of the older women about this tomorrow. I wonder how that woman will ever be able to face anyone in the neighborhood again!"

I patted his shoulder: "You're such a jerk!"

Seeing me shaking my head repeatedly, Gao He asked me, "How come you have the time to meddle in this trivial matter?"

I chuckled dryly, "We were all drunk, and we're all neighbors. Oh well, thank goodness Pidan was quick-witted, otherwise this mess would have been a complete disaster."

"What do you mean?"

"I came to break up the fight because I was afraid something would happen, afraid of a fight. But when it came down to it, I was the first one to get into a physical altercation. Isn't that a mess?"

It was a false alarm, but thinking back on it, I was really sweating. Aside from the couple involved, it was a trivial matter that didn't concern any of us.

A single cigarette butt is often enough to detonate an explosive.

If it weren't for that diary, I can't imagine what would have happened to Monkey and Meng Chao, these two outsiders.

Back home, Fang Ling said that Xie Xiaohuan was exhausted from the journey and had been drinking during the day, so she was already asleep.

I saw that she was still holding that diary and glanced into her room.

She nodded slightly to me: "Let's go upstairs to the study."

Once inside the study, Pidan recounted what had happened not long ago.

Fang Ling lowered her eyes and said, "It seems this diary is truly extraordinary."

Before I could speak, she looked at me, a half-smile on her face, and said:
“Xie Xiaohuan is your granddaughter. She is now destitute and only you can take her in.”

"Nonsense!" I waved my hand and said, "It's best not to say things like that."

Fang Ling sighed, "I've talked to her. Her family wasn't well-off to begin with, and her mother passed away, leaving her all alone. Besides, she's too introverted; if no one's watching over her, she'll..."

I waved my hand again: "We'll talk about that later, let's talk about this diary first."

Fang Ling handed over the diary: "You should read it first."

I flipped directly to the page I had torn, leaned in and smelled it, but there was no particular smell.

However, an unexpected discovery was made.

I examined the torn area closely. "There were two overlapping pages at the seam, but one page is missing here."

Fang Ling was taken aback and walked over to take a look. "It seems like a page is missing. Xiao Huan said that the page she tore was later taped back together. This page was just torn off."

I flipped through the contents and said, "The missing page is the one I tore up. According to the record, Lü Xin left Xiao Huan's grandmother after that."

Fang Ling then gestured for me to finish reading the diary first.

This time I was extra careful.

On the next page that I tore up, I wrote...

He left, taking all the cash from the house with him. I don't blame him; I know he went to the front lines. He's been telling me about the brutality of the Japanese these past few days.

When the nation is in peril, patriotic men should be ready to sacrifice themselves for their country… No! No, no! Others are sacrificing themselves for their country; he, a frail scholar, should simply stay behind and do some propaganda work. He's contributed money and effort; he's sent so much wealth and resources, he shouldn't be going to the battlefield.

This is the second time I've watched this part.

I don't know why, but when I looked at it again, I had a strange feeling that I couldn't quite put my finger on.

I unconsciously wiped my eyes and felt a slight dampness.

Pidan sighed, "That woman is stupid. She should know the truth; she's just deceiving herself."

"I do not think so."

I shook my head, looked up at Fang Ling and asked, "Where did Xie Xiaohuan come from?"

Fang Ling said, "Huizhou. Her mother was born in Huizhou."

I took out an atlas from the bookshelf, opened the national map, and pointed at it. "Huizhou isn't too far from here. According to the records in the diary, Lü Xin must have returned here after leaving, and died in the Lianyao kiln not long after."

Fang Ling asked, "What do you want to say?"

"I think Lü Xin really fell in love with Xie Xiaohuan's grandmother."
