In a dilapidated residential building, a figure rushed into the simple house, and a tired voice called out: "Mom, I'm home."

"Girl, why are you back?" An old woman groped around, looking towards the door, but her eyes were empty and lifeless.

"Mom, I just heard some news. Li Jianmin has been arrested." The woman's voice was excited, her expression a mixture of nervousness and excitement.

"What? Li Jianmin has been arrested? How is that possible?" The old lady was startled, and her expression changed.

"It's true. I heard that his wife even went to the county public security bureau to make a scene, and it was a big one. Many people know about it. They say that her husband was retaliated against by the new public security chief and was arrested."

"Really? What? The new police chief is retaliating? Bah! Serves him right! That damned bastard, why doesn't he get revenge and kill him?!" The old woman spat fiercely, her face also showing excitement.

"Mom, I want to go see the new police chief." The woman said this, and the old lady was stunned. She sat blankly in her wheelchair, looking at her daughter without saying a word.

"Mom, this time I will be careful. I won't let anyone find any fault with me. Don't worry, before I go, I will send you and Dad to the countryside."

The old woman remained silent, not uttering a word. Sometimes she thought it was fine this way, but the thought of her son and daughter-in-law's deaths, and her husband still bedridden, made her tremble with rage. Those heartless beasts, protecting each other, treating ordinary people like dirt... she... she...

"Girl, how about we just let it go? What do you say?" They were just ordinary people, how could they possibly fight against the officials? Besides, after fighting for so many years and so many times, their family had been destroyed and their lives ruined. Even now, their daughter was still hiding and running away, leading those two old folks, and still thinking about revenge.

Her heart was in turmoil. Thinking about what her family had gone through, her heart sank to the bottom.

"Mom, I asked around, and the new police chief is a woman, and she's even a special forces soldier. She arrested Li Jianmin after only a few days in office, and I heard she's also going to arrest Liu Yixiong!"

"Who told you that?" The old lady was a little panicked. Her daughter was the only support for her and her husband. If something happened to her daughter, the family would be completely ruined.

"I heard from the Public Security Bureau that the newly appointed Public Security Bureau Chief, who is also the acting county head and deputy secretary of the county party committee, started investigating the case of County Head Gao Lan as soon as he took office. They found some useful clues and arrested Li Jianmin."

"Really? So the matter of Magistrate Gao Lan's death has been resolved?" The old lady was somewhat excited. After all, Magistrate Gao Lan was truly a good person. If it weren't for them, Magistrate Gao Lan wouldn't have died so quickly; if it weren't for them, Magistrate Gao Lan might not have died at all. It was all their fault!

"I don't know yet, but I believe that female director can definitely help us. Moreover, I will tell her everything we know, and it will definitely help her solve the case. Then, we can give Magistrate Gao Lan justice." The woman was thin and pale, but her expression was unusually excited.

"But I'm worried..." Her whole family was almost wiped out because of that incident, leaving only a few of them. Moreover, she herself went blind, her husband was paralyzed and bedridden, and her daughter was already struggling to take care of them all by herself. If they were to provoke the other party again, they would definitely not have a good ending.

"Girl, how about we just give up and go back to the countryside?" The old lady looked at her daughter tentatively, her face full of contradiction. The woman clearly did not expect the old lady to say such a thing.

"Mom, I can't go back. This time, I'm going to seek justice from that new police chief no matter what. Have you forgotten how my eldest brother and sister-in-law died? And Nannan, have you forgotten how she died? And my second and third brothers, have you forgotten?" The woman sobbed softly, then broke down in tears. Her family was broken and dead, all because they refused to give up their land back then, because they wanted justice, because they wanted their own land. Why was it so difficult?

Upon hearing her daughter cry, the old woman couldn't help but shed tears herself. Just then, a heavy coughing sound came from inside: "Ah! Ah! Ah!..."

The woman hurried into the room, where a musty smell mixed with the stench of urine wafted out. Undeterred, she reached out to help the person on the bed, only to be pushed away: "Get away!"

"Dad, what are you doing? Doesn't it hurt to poop on the bed?" The woman's eyes were red and her expression was complicated. She knew that her father's days were numbered. Rather than let him live in such pain, it would be better for him to leave sooner.

"I told you, I don't need your help, why won't you listen? Huh? Girl, we don't need your help, we don't need your care, do you hear me? Go away, go away, go away!" The old man tried desperately to push his daughter away, but the woman didn't budge.

"Dad, I won't leave, I won't leave! I said we'll die together, and we'll be buried together too. Please don't send me away, okay?" The woman's tears streamed down her face. The old man gritted his teeth and slapped the woman hard across the face. The crisp sound of the slap made the woman's tears flow again.

"I told you, I don't need you to interfere with me, I don't need you to interfere with me, get out, get out, get out!" the old man roared, his voice somewhat chilling, but the woman still didn't move. She knew that her father just wanted to get rid of her, just didn't want to implicate her, just didn't want her to think about revenge anymore, just wanted her to live well, to live without burdens, without guilt.

"Old man, what are you doing? What kind of trouble are you causing now?" The blind old woman finally pushed her dilapidated wheelchair to the bedside. She grabbed her daughter and burst into tears!

The old man turned his head, tears welling up in his eyes, but he wouldn't let them fall. He knew what his daughter wanted to do, but this Gaoshan County was too corrupt. His ancestors had lived in the mountains for generations, and he knew it was a place where corruption was rampant, and the officials there were all corrupt.

The mother and daughter cried their hearts out, especially the woman, who was heartbroken. The grievances she had suffered over the past few days, the torment she had endured, and the countless days and nights she had been tortured and abused all came flooding back to her mind, making her cry even more bitterly.

But no matter what, she couldn't just let it go. Her brothers were dead, her family was gone, but she had to avenge them. She couldn't just let it go.

"Even if you kill me, I'm going to find that new police chief and avenge my brothers. If you've got the guts, jump in from here and stop dragging me down with you! After you're dead and I've avenged them, I'll jump into the river myself!"
