Chapter 139 China Cannot Tolerate Betrayal

"You still have to work here?"

An Lu watched An Min pick up things to get to work and clicked her tongue several times.

She laughed exaggeratedly and reached out to touch the child's face.

"This little brat is quite handsome, it's just a pity he was born in a place like this..."

Before her hand could even touch the child, Liang Yi grabbed it.

Liang Yi's eyes were icy: "An Lu, keep your hands to yourself. If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame us for being impolite."

An Lu cried out in pain, shook off his hand and took a few steps back, but a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes: "Liang Yi, don't be so fierce! I'm your sister-in-law, what will people think if word gets out?"

She deliberately raised her voice, "Folks, come quick! Liang Yi has become violent towards his sister-in-law!"

Sure enough, several passing villagers stopped and whispered among themselves, making Anlu even more smug.

Little did she know, the villagers were whispering about her.

She was about to say something more when she saw Anmin carrying the child down the steps, her voice calm yet clear.

“Everyone knows that Anlu is my sister, but she has been in Hong Kong for a long time and has become wild and unruly, so she doesn’t speak tactfully. Liang Yi is just being protective of his child, so please excuse him.”

She paused, then looked at Anlu.

"Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, I'll kick you out."

Anmin made a threatening remark, and Anlu glared at her before leaving.

As the villagers watched her walk away, they began to chatter amongst themselves.

"This city girl looks glamorous, why does she talk so rudely?"

"Min is such a good-natured girl. If it were me, I would have scolded her back long ago."

Liang Yi slowly loosened his clenched fist.

He looked at An Min, the coldness in his eyes gradually turning into guilt: "It's all my fault, I made you suffer."

Anmin carried the child into the house, her steps steady: "Let her make a fuss if she wants, we've done nothing wrong."

"What does this have to do with you? If we're talking about who's been implicated, it's more accurate to say that I'm the one who's dragged you down."

The child in her arms had woken up at some point, and was giggling as he clutched Anmin's clothes.

As Liang Yi watched his wife and daughter walk away, his agitation gradually subsided.

He turned and walked out of the courtyard. He had only taken two steps when he saw the village chief standing at the door with two people in uniform.

"Commander Liang, these two are comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission. They say they want to ask you about something."

The village chief's face was full of worry.

Liang Yi's heart sank, but he remained outwardly calm: "Hello, comrade, please come in."

Having been in Hong Kong for so many years, Anlu's methods are certainly not limited to tantrums and tantrums.

Once inside, Anmin had already brewed tea.

The disciplinary committee member took out his notebook and got straight to the point: "Comrade Liang Yi, we have received a report that you have used your position to seek improper benefits for your relatives' company in Hong Kong. Here are the relevant materials, please take a look."

Liang Yi took the materials; they were a photo of An Lu with a businessman, with a caption stating that Liang Yi's relatives and business partners had met in secret.

He sneered, "These are all fabrications. Anlu is my lover's sister, but we haven't been in contact for many years, and there's no question of any transfer of benefits."

An Min nodded in agreement: "An Lu and I have always had conflicts. She is my stepmother's daughter, and we have never gotten along well since we were little."

"I came here because I was deceived by her and had no choice but to leave home."

An Min's attitude was sincere, and the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission exchanged glances.

They asked a few more questions, and seeing that Liang Yi answered them flawlessly and logically, they got up to take their leave.

"Thank you for your cooperation. We will continue our investigation and clear your name."

After seeing the guests off, An Min finally breathed a sigh of relief. Liang Yi held her hand, his palm warm: "The innocent will clear themselves."

In the evening, An Lu received a phone call and learned that her report had been preliminarily determined to be false information. She was so angry that she slammed the phone on the ground.

"A bunch of useless idiots! They can't even handle this simple task!"

She paced back and forth in the guesthouse, when suddenly something occurred to her, and a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes. If open methods didn't work, she'd resort to covert ones.

She picked up the landline and dialed an encrypted number: "Help me check Liang Yi's recent exercise schedule, the more detailed the better, price is not a problem."

A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone: "Ms. An, this is confidential, the risk is too great."

"High risk makes things valuable."

An Lu sneered: "I will ruin Liang Yi's reputation and make him never be able to recover. At that time, let's see who can protect you, An Min."

There was a moment of silence on the other end, but they finally agreed.

It would be foolish not to make money when there is opportunity; why wouldn't he do it?

Anyway, he's not here, so we can't find him.

Three days later, in the early morning, Liang Yi had just finished running five kilometers on the training field.

A communications soldier strode over carrying a manila envelope: "Regimental Commander Liang, this is an encrypted telegram forwarded by the military region."

His brow furrowed as he removed the sealing wax.

Three days later, when the encrypted number called again, Anlu was trying on her newly bought cheongsam in front of the mirror.

"Miss An, we've received the goods, but the price will increase by 30%."

"money is not a problem."

An Lu smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes in front of the mirror, a cold smile curving her lips.

"Send me the data, and use the same encryption key as last time."

As night fell, Anlu was about to go out when she saw someone standing outside the door.

Liang Yi took a step forward, and the shadow completely enveloped her.

"Hand over your stuff."

His voice was completely flat: "Or I could arrest you now on charges of stealing secrets."

"Did you know earlier?"

Liang Yi lowered the flashlight in his hand and shone it on the papers behind her.

"I don't like people who think they're so clever, especially since I crawled out of a pile of dead bodies."

As soon as he finished speaking, An Lu was about to run away when she was stopped by a cold, hard object.

"The fireproof lock is gone, be careful."

An Lu froze, the cold touch against her lower back felt like a venomous snake spitting its tongue.

She looked up and met Liang Yi's unfathomable eyes, as if she were looking at a clown.

"Liang Yi, you dare touch me? I'm a resident of Hong Kong, you have no right to..."

Liang Yi chuckled, grabbed her arm with his left hand and twisted it behind her back, while his right hand never left the thing in his hand.

“Hong Kong is Chinese territory. You are suspected of stealing secrets. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he couldn’t protect you.”

"China will not tolerate betrayal."

Anlu's bones ached from his grip, and tears welled in her eyes, but she bit her lip tightly, refusing to let them fall.

"I didn't... those things are fake, you framed me!"

She was still putting up a last-ditch effort, but Liang Yi didn't waste any more words with her and pulled her outside.

Two young soldiers were standing in the courtyard at some point. When they saw Liang Yi leading the man out, they immediately stepped forward and saluted.

"Take her away and hand her over to the relevant departments according to procedure."

"All evidence related to the case, including her communication records and financial transactions, has been sealed and sent for testing."

"By the way, check her financial transactions; there's someone else behind her."

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded in unison. As they took Anlu from them, she suddenly struggled like a madwoman, screaming at Liang Yi's back.

"I won't let you go!"
