Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 78 The Truth
He also drank some of Fang Chengjie's wine. Perhaps it was because he hadn't drunk alcohol in a long time, but after two glasses, he felt dizzy and lightheaded.

When he woke up again, Fang Fei was lying in his arms, her clothes scattered on the floor.

It's not hard to tell what happened between the two of them from her messy hair.

He knew that this was a scheme set up by Fang Fei and Fang Chengjie, but he had no clear evidence. However, the fact that he had bullied Fang Fei was undeniable.

If he doesn't date and get engaged to Fang Fei, he'll be committing hooliganism and will be imprisoned.

But Shen Zichen was unwilling to accept it. He had originally gone to the countryside in place of his cousin, and he was bullied by his uncle's family in the city. Now that he was in the Northwest, he was being schemed against.

Shen Zichen was physically and mentally exhausted. In the days following the incident, he suddenly fell into confusion and could not find any meaning in living.

So when Fang Chengjie and Fang Fei found him, the siblings promised that as long as he took the blame, they would not pursue the matter between him and Fang Fei in the future, and the matter would be over and left unresolved.

He was tempted, but he also resigned himself to his fate.

He would rather be convicted of sabotaging food supplies than of hooliganism.

But Ji Sisi's appearance made him waver once again.

The Fang siblings kept a close eye on Shen Zichen's every move, afraid that he might say something unfavorable.

"If you don't trust me, don't you trust your own character?"

Ji Sisi noticed something was off about the three of them and guessed that Shen Zichen might have some kind of leverage over him, which was why she was willing to take the blame for him.

Shen Zichen nodded.

“I wasn’t on duty last night, it was Fang Chengjie. He came to me this morning asking for my help.”

This was exactly what Ji Sisi expected. What she was more curious about was what kind of leverage Shen Zichen had that would make him agree to take the blame, since it was a serious crime that could result in a sentence of more than ten years.

To put it bluntly, this is an obstacle to development!
Captain Xiang scrutinized Shen Zichen and demanded sternly, "Which of your statements is true?"

Fang Chengjie's expression suddenly changed, and he rushed forward to argue.

"He's talking nonsense! He definitely doesn't want to take responsibility, so he's just pushing it onto me. Officers, you need to investigate this thoroughly! Shen Zichen was clearly on duty last night!"

Fang Fei also rushed forward.

"Brother Zichen, how could you be this kind of person? It's clearly a mistake, why are you trying to smear my brother?"

Fang Fei gave Shen Zichen a look, but he didn't even glance at her.

Fang Fei was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode.

"Captain Xiang, I think there might still be a chance for this to turn around? Why don't you take him back and interrogate him properly again?"

Captain Xiang's face darkened.

Director Wu, who was not far away, burst out laughing when he saw this scene.

Hey, I thought he was the only one who got the short end of the stick. It seems he wasn't the only one who made a mistake at work. Suddenly, Director Wu felt a sense of relief.

Another male colleague from the agricultural supplies institute nudged Chen Chen on the shoulder, "Senior, is Master suffering from sunburn?"

Chen Chen: "..."

It was already noon, and the sun overhead was getting stronger and stronger. To prevent people from getting heatstroke, everyone was moved to the office.

The police have taken the person back for questioning.

"Master, should we go back too? The director is waiting for us to go back and explain the situation."

Director Wu angrily said, "Go back! If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I'll lose ten years of my life!"

He thought that if he kept her around, he could hear some way to fix things, but he was wrong.

He actually pinned his hopes on a little girl; he's so angry he's lost his mind!
Upon hearing this, Ji Sisi retorted to Director Wu, "Director Wu, you speak with such a strong voice, you're sure to live to be a hundred!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense again, and the people from the agricultural supplies department were once again sweating for Ji Sisi. Captain Ma and Director Yan had already resigned themselves to their fate.

The situation in Huaihua Commune couldn't get much worse, so let Ji Sisi be. Director Wu snorted coldly and led his men out.

"Senior brother, that liaison officer is so ill-mannered! Anyone can see that Master is very angry, yet she deliberately mocks him. She has absolutely no manners. Besides, even the director doesn't dare to talk to Master like that. What gives her the right?"

Thinking of Ji Sisi's attitude just now, Xiao Qing felt indignant on behalf of her master.

That woman looked about her age; she was incredibly bold!

Chen Chen subconsciously spoke up for Ji Sisi, "Xiao Qing, you misunderstand her. Besides, Master didn't say anything. Ji Sisi doesn't understand Master, but don't you understand him?"
My master isn't the kind of person who would compromise himself.

Xiao Qing's face fell, and she said with a disgruntled tone, "Senior brother, why are you taking her side?"

Chen Chen didn't reply to Xiao Qing, and followed behind Director Wu on his own.

After walking a short distance, Director Wu turned around and said, "Chen Chen, you stay here. A car will come to pick you up tonight."

"it is good."

Xiao Qing was about to open her mouth when she said, "Master..."

"Alright, everyone shut up and get in the car."

Director Wu's face was stern, and his words brooked no refusal.
-
The sky was a clear, cloudless blue, with cicadas chirping incessantly. The air was thick with heat, and the sun was so bright that it was impossible to open one's eyes.

Ji Sisi and Chen Chen, both wearing straw hats, walked side by side on their way to find the herdsmen.

Why did you go looking for the herdsmen?

"What else could it be? We need to figure out why the cattle and sheep are coming here." Ji Sisi wiped the sweat from her brow and quickened her pace as she got closer to the shed the herders had built.

Chen Chen didn't ask any more questions.

As soon as the two approached, they heard arguing, which grew more and more heated, and they were about to start fighting.

The herders gathered together, their clothes covered in patches, in shades of blue, gray, and black, and their skin several shades darker than that of the average person.

"Why should this be blamed on me? Everyone went to set it off together. What if you were the one who ate it?"

"Bullshit! I know my own dogs, they would never go to West Hill!"

Ji Sisi rushed over to organize discipline, "Comrades, calm down!"

"Who are you? Why should we listen to you?"

The two arguing men looked at Ji Sisi with displeasure, clearly unhappy with her intervention.

Ji Sisi introduces herself.

"I am the liaison officer of Huaihua Commune, in charge of production of Team Six. I came here to ask you about the cattle herd that broke into the experimental field last night."

Ji Sisi knew that her identity would definitely not be able to intimidate this group of people.

"This is Professor Chen from the Agricultural Materials Research Institute. He is also here to investigate the experimental site. We hope everyone will cooperate. Anyone who does not cooperate will be dealt with as an obstruction of development."

The five people in front of them suddenly panicked.

"Hasn't this matter already been investigated?"

"Yeah, they called us over early this morning and questioned us for so long, and they still haven't figured it out?"

All five were simple and honest herdsmen, their thoughts written all over their faces. Not only Ji Sisi noticed something was wrong, but Chen Chen also saw through it.

"Has something happened again? If you are hiding the truth, I will report it truthfully. The police will then conduct a detailed investigation. If they find anything, the sentence will be determined through the normal procedures."

Ji Sisi nodded, mimicking Director Wu, "Yes, they should be punished and judged accordingly."

Chen Chen glanced at her, his eyes warning Ji Sisi not to follow in his footsteps.
