Chapter 44 A Failed Attempt
I originally thought there wouldn't be anything to find inside, after all, the girl was so confident in challenging our captain, she must be fearless.

They were all mentally prepared for this to be a complete waste of effort.

When the captain wasn't looking, Bai Jing used the system to store the things he had thrown away into the system space.

It also made her realize that in this village, the reason why Granny Bai dared to bully their families like this was because she had someone backing her up. No wonder her second uncle and the others were always suppressed whenever they resisted. It turned out that the brigade leader was biased towards Granny Bai.

Ah, good, good, very good.

After they went down, they turned on their flashlights and searched around, but sure enough, they found nothing.

The captain was also surprised; he had clearly lost it just now, so how could it be gone now?

So he searched and searched the place where he had lost his things, even turning over the mud on the ground with his feet, but he couldn't find anything.

"Alright, it's not here, let's go somewhere else." The team members who came down wanted to go up after they looked around.

The captain wanted them to search again, since it was something he had personally lost.

But he knew he couldn't be too exposed, or it would be bad for him.

He had no choice but to follow them up, seething with resentment.

When the village chief saw everyone coming up, he immediately asked the brigade leader.

"How is Old Li? Has he found anything?" The village chief was a man of great concern, and naturally he didn't want anything to happen to the village.

He knows more about any major events in the village than anyone else.

If the Bai family really had some good stuff hidden away, they certainly wouldn't be at Bai Quanfu's house. They could search Bai Laotou's house instead and probably find quite a few good things.

But here, you might not find anything good even if you search three feet into the ground.

The captain shook his head. "No."

The village chief smiled and said, "That's good."

Next up is the room.

The captain made two more attempts, but both times the items disappeared as soon as he turned around, which terrified the captain, who dared not act recklessly again. He obediently followed the search team in and out, turning the Bai family's house upside down.

They found nothing, but instead discovered Bai Quanfu's military medals in the back room.

Seeing everyone come out, Bai Jing immediately went to the village chief and asked, "Village chief, how is it?" Bai Jing bypassed the brigade leader.

The village chief smiled and nodded at Bai Jing, "Your home is fine; there's nothing that shouldn't be there."

Xiao Hua also learned about the result from his teammates.

Nothing was found.

"Hmph, trash." Xiao Hua's face was gloomy, and it was clear that he was very angry.

He turned his gaze to Granny Bai, glared at her fiercely, but said nothing.

“Comrade, your family is doing very well. These are your family’s honors. Here you go.” Xiao Hua handed Bai Quanfu’s medals to Bai Jing with both hands. “We were being presumptuous. Please don’t take it to heart, comrade.”

Bai Jing took the medal, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Since my family was framed, Captain Xiao, shouldn't you tell me who the culprit is? Captain Xiao, do you intend to protect such a black sheep?"

After saying that, Bai Jing glared fiercely at Granny Bai.

Even with Old Man Bai standing in front of her, she could still feel Bai Jing's malice.

Xiao Hua ultimately didn't reveal who had committed the crime. "Comrade, please understand. In order to better carry out our work, we cannot disclose this person's information to the public. Of course, you can rest assured that we will not let those who frame others get away with it. Please wait for our results." Bai Jing knew that no matter how much she argued, it would be useless. "Alright, I'll wait for Captain Xiao's decision. I hope it won't disappoint our people."

Xiao Hua and his men returned empty-handed, and Granny Bai and Old Man Bai did not linger, leaving with Xiao Hua and his group.

The village chief and the brigade leader, however, stayed behind.

“Quanfu’s family.” At this moment, Luo Chunhua had already woken up. She leaned against her sister-in-law with a pained expression, visibly weak.

"I'm sorry that you were frightened by what happened today. Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice from the commune. As long as you don't do anything wrong, the village will not allow anyone to slander you."

He knew the village chief was just saying that after the fact, but he couldn't afford to offend him, since his third brother still needed to get the necessary certificates and letters of introduction.

“Village chief, you’re too kind. This is for the good of the country, so of course we’ll cooperate. It’s just that they wanted to search my house as soon as they came in, and I got scared, which is why I clashed with them. Don’t worry, I’ll be more careful in the future and won’t bring shame to our village.” Luo Chunhua was a woman of good manners.

The words they said were very cooperative.

"It's good that you think that way. Since there's nothing else, let's go back first. If you need anything in the future, you can come to the village office to find us. We are all here to serve the people."

The village chief left with the brigade leader.

Those who had come to watch the spectacle also left one by one. They dared not stay, for if they were beaten up by the eldest son or daughter of the Bai family, they would have no recourse.

After leaving only her family members in the courtyard, Bai Jing told everyone about her discovery.

"Captain, that's impossible. How could she be familiar with the captain's family?" The first person to disbelieve it was Luo Chunhua.

"Mother, do you know what Granny Bai did before she married Grandpa?" Bai Jing was now very suspicious of Granny Bai's identity.

She also had doubts about her motives for marrying her own grandfather.

The adults exchanged glances and then shook their heads in unison.

"No, Second Uncle and Third Uncle, you don't know either?" Bai Jing was speechless.

In her past life, after her grandfather died, she left the village with her two children, and no one knows where they went.

However, in her later years, Bai Zizhong and Bai Zishu returned to the village, supposedly to pay respects to the old man. She didn't see them in person, but she learned from others that the two brothers were well-off.

Because they weren't close, she didn't pay much attention to it.

My second and third uncles also have contact with them.

"All I know is that her marriage to your grandfather was very sudden; she moved into the house the moment I woke up," Uncle San said, recounting his impressions.

My second uncle also recalled the events.

“I remember that she and several other people were refugees who came here. At that time, things were very chaotic outside. As you know, before our area was liberated, there were many bandit dens.”

"After liberation, the country began to sort out these people and also recruited many of them. However, some people had committed too many crimes, so the country naturally had to deal with them. For a time, our surrounding area was in chaos. Just when things were about to end, she and a group of people fled to our village."

“At that time, my mother passed away, and my father raised us alone. But my father was willing to endure hardship, and the three of us brothers did not have a difficult life. But one day, I woke up and my father said that she would be our mother from now on and that we should call her Mother.”

Uncle Bai slowly recalled that he hadn't paid attention to many things before, but now, looking back, they all seemed too smooth.

How could her father bring her home without their consent?

I even slept at home for one night before notifying them the next day.

That's right, it's a notification.
