Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 33 Of course I have evidence
Wen Zhuqing's gaze fell on Gu Jianing like a cold arrow. "Comrade Gu Jianing invited me here today."

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Gu Jianing, who remained composed, her lips pursed.

Just ...

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the man standing beside her, and she was slightly surprised. Why was Sheng Zexi here? When did he arrive?

Wen Zhuqing naturally saw Sheng Zexi as well. When he mentioned Gu Jianing, the man's eyes darkened, and he gave him a cold glance. At that moment, Wen Zhuqing felt as if he were being stared at by a wild beast, and his scalp tingled.

He was certain that the man's hands were stained with blood.

Knowing that this person was a military officer, Wen Zhuqing knew that if possible, he would rather not confront this person directly.

But this time, it won't work.

Even if he were to sleep with Bao Shanyan, he wouldn't want to marry her.

If he really had to marry someone in Huaihua Village, he would want to marry Gu Jianing.

Under Sheng Zexi's murderous gaze, he continued, "Everyone knows that Comrade Gu Jianing liked me before."

“Yesterday, she handed me a piece of paper. It said that she still liked me and that the reason she was arranging a marriage with someone else was because her family forced her to.”

"So, she asked me to come here to discuss something with me because she still wants to be with me."

"When I arrived, I saw Comrade Bao Shanyan, who directly covered my mouth and nose with a handkerchief that had been drugged."

"By the time I was released again, I had lost my mind."

"That's why I did that."

Being schemed against by two women and losing her innocence was a disgrace to Wen Zhuqing, who prided herself on being clever and only knew how to scheme against others, never letting others scheme against her.

But now, he had to personally expose this humiliation.

"Everyone knows how strong Bao Shanyan is. Not to mention me, she can even stop a wild boar that's gone mad."

“But she didn’t, so this time it was their scheme against me.”

"You're accusing me of indecent assault? Ha, then call the police. I want the police officers and the commune leaders to come and see for themselves. We educated youth came to the countryside to support the construction, but you've designed this to persecute us. Is this a blatant defiance of national policy?"

Wen Zhuqing practically said that the villagers of Huaihua Village wanted to rebel.

Even though it wasn't explicitly stated, the following remarks already cast a huge accusation on him.

In addition, his imposing demeanor and confident, fearless attitude immediately boosted his morale, causing the villagers to panic.

"Yes, we all saw Gu Jianing chasing after Wen Zhiqing before."

"How could Wen Zhiqing possibly be interested in Bao Shanyan? Anyone with a brain would think it's impossible."

"So it was you people from Huaihua Village who wanted to persecute us educated youth. It was Wen, the educated youth, who was harmed, and you're turning the tables on us."

"No, we have to report to the commune and call the police. We educated youth can't be bullied like this. How can they leave us educated youth with any way to survive?"

The educated youth, regardless of gender, were all filled with righteous indignation and spoke up for Wen Zhuqing.

Most of the female educated youth liked Wen Zhuqing, so naturally they didn't want Wen Zhuqing to be with Bao Shanyan, nor did they want Wen Zhuqing to be arrested.

Many of the male educated youth were jealous of Wen Zhuqing. They thought it was a good thing that Wen Zhuqing was with Bao Shanyan, even if it was a setup.

But they also considered Wen Zhuqing's words, and they found that they made sense.

They, the educated youth, were already at a disadvantage when they arrived here. If Wen Zhuqing was framed and succeeded, wouldn't they also be framed later? So, even though they were very jealous and hated Wen Zhuqing, they still had to stand on Wen Zhuqing's side for their own benefit.

This is where Wen Zhuqing's shrewdness lies. He knows that feelings and relationships are all fake; only when interests are involved are they real.

At this moment, the villagers panicked. Old Man Gu and the village secretary frowned. This was going to provoke conflict between the educated youth and the villagers. They couldn't let such a big label be pinned on them.

Sheng Zexi frowned, his expression calm, and took a step forward, as if he wanted to say something.

But Gu Jianing grabbed his sleeve.

Gu Jianing gave him a look that said "I believe you," and then stepped forward to confront Wen Zhuqing.

“Wen, you said I was chasing after you before, but it wasn’t because I liked you. It was because of my father’s instructions to take extra care of you educated youth that I made so many trips to the educated youth settlement. I never expected that you would misunderstand me.”

“But, Wen Zhiqing, I really don’t like you. Besides, I’m not only engaged, I’ve also registered my marriage with Brother Sheng. We like each other. I, Gu Jianing, am not a fickle person. I would never do what you just said.”

"You said that Yanzi and I set you up, but we can't just make that decision based on a few words from you."

"When the police investigate a case, they need evidence and witnesses."

"You said I looked for you yesterday, but did anyone see me? And that note, if you really did, then show it to everyone."

“You also said that Yanzi drugged you, so where is that handkerchief? Is there any drug residue on it? We can have Uncle Zhang come and check it.”

"Then things become clear."

“If it’s really as you say, then it’s naturally my and Yanzi’s fault. But if it’s not, then it’s true that you were a hooligan to Yanzi. We people from Huaihua Village may not be as well-educated as you educated youth, but we are reasonable and capable of seeking justice.”

"Good!" Gu Jianing's words were reasonable and well-founded, and the villagers nodded and clapped in approval.

Sheng Zexi's gaze fell on his little girl. The sunlight fell on her, as if coating her with a halo, making her sparkle and making him unable to look away for a moment.

He could see the confidence and composure in the little girl's eyes.

He had originally intended to speak, but chose to hold back for the time being.

Perhaps he could choose to trust that she was capable of handling the situation.

"Yes, Wen Zhiqing, produce your evidence."

"Yes, witness testimony and physical evidence speak for themselves."

Just as Zhao Weihong and Li Juan were about to say something, Gu Jianing glanced at them and said, "If anyone wants to give false testimony, they'd better think about the consequences."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Weihong and Li Juan hesitated for a moment, then immediately withdrew the foot they were about to step out.

Wen Zhuqing stared blankly at Gu Jianing. He had never seen Gu Jianing so eloquent before, which made him even more certain that Gu Jianing's previous affection for him was just a pretense.

He didn't quite understand why Gu Jianing dared to be so confident and not at all guilty. Did she think he couldn't produce it?

Although there were no witnesses, he had physical evidence.

The evidence was in his pocket; it couldn't possibly be taken away.

Wen Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief as she reached into her pocket and felt the paper inside.

“Of course I have evidence.” With that, Wen Zhuqing took out the folded words from her pocket.
