Fu Yao also heard the commotion inside. He saw Cheng Ji pinning Guo Zhaodi to the ground, with a lot of money and banknotes on the ground, and raised an eyebrow.

"What's wrong?"

"She was trying to slip these banknotes into our locker, but I caught her."

Cheng Ji's face was frosty, and his eyes held a hint of murderous intent as he looked at Guo Zhaodi.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yao clicked her tongue lightly. She had almost forgotten about this old hag.

"I didn't! I didn't put it there! Boss, come quick! This couple is trying to destroy the evidence I found!"

Seeing Fu Yao pick up the money and banknotes from the ground, Guo Zhaodi shouted anxiously.

Seeing that she still wouldn't stop even after all that, Cheng Ji used force, and Guo Zhaodi's voice changed tone.

But she still stubbornly shouted outside. Fu Yao ignored her, but quickly picked up the money and notes on the ground and handed them to Cheng Ji.

It seems Guo Zhaodi did make some preparations. She probably already had this harmful plan in mind yesterday.

However, Fu Yao did not allow Guo Zhaodi to enter the house at the time, which is why he failed.

Otherwise, given Wang Guangming's aggressive demeanor today, she probably wouldn't have been able to break free.

Fu Yao's mind raced with thoughts, and a sense of lingering fear washed over him.

Han Chaoying was watching people inspect things outside when she heard a sound coming from the main room and frowned.

"What's going on here?" Han Chaoying looked at Guo Zhaodi, whose face was bruised and swollen, and then glanced at Cheng Ji in surprise.

"I didn't hit him."

Cheng Ji looked up and glared back at him, annoyed. Han Chaoying immediately gave an embarrassed smile.

Only after Fu Yao explained did he realize that these were the marks left by Guo Zhaodi and Wang Guangming when they fell while hugging.

"Boss, help! Help! This person is trying to kill me! This person is trying to kill me!"

Guo Zhaodi saw Han Chaoying's figure and immediately wailed.

Han Chaoying frowned, ignored her, and looked at Cheng Ji instead.

"I just came in and saw her stuffing money and bills into our cabinet. These are all the ones she put in there."

Fu Yao immediately understood and handed the money to Han Chaoying.

"Boss, I didn't, I didn't. I found these banknotes in their cabinet and wanted to show them to you, but they found out instead."

"Boss, you have to save me! Otherwise, they'll kill me to silence me."

Guo Zhaodi wailed with a bruised and purple face, looking extremely miserable.

Han Chaoying stared silently at the money in front of him, his gaze darkening. He turned to the people in the courtyard and asked, "Did any of you see it?"

Everyone shook their heads. Their attention was all outside, and they really didn't see what the old woman did.

Cheng Ji and Guo Zhaodi each held their own version of events, and the matter suddenly reached a stalemate.

"Minister Han, we really didn't give Sister Fu Yao any money. She's a very kind person. She offered to make clothes for us without asking for anything in return. She only asked us to help her find some high school books to read."

"We brought that 'Little Red Book' because we felt bad about it. You mustn't be fooled by this woman! She was acting suspiciously as soon as she came in, trying to get something from Sister Fu Yao's room."

Zhang Xiaojuan clearly testified to Fu Yao, while Chen Mei whispered in the background.

"Yes, we all saw it. This woman has no evidence and keeps making baseless accusations against Sister Fu Yao. Minister Han, you'd better not be fooled by her."

"And, moreover, she has a very close relationship with that Director Wang outside..."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked back and forth between the two with some curiosity, since gossip is the easiest thing to arouse people's curiosity.

Fu Yao stood aside, feeling a warmth in her heart as she saw the two little girls, despite their fear, resolutely stand up for her.

She looked down at Guo Zhaodi, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.

She knew that Han Chaoying might know that Guo Zhaodi was behind it. But without evidence, she couldn't say that Han Chaoying was framing her.

Fu Yao bit her lip, her expression somewhat serious. She turned her head to look at Cheng Ji, only to find him completely calm.

Cheng Ji also turned around and glanced at her. Although she didn't say anything, the tacit understanding they had developed over a long period of time told Fu Yao that Cheng Ji had come up with a solution.

Seeing that everyone remained silent, Guo Zhaodi became even more arrogant.

"Boss, arrest them right now! We have evidence, you're not going to cover for them, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Han Chaoying's face immediately darkened, and he looked at Cheng Ji.

"Professor Cheng, this..."

"Since she says it's payment we received, then I'd like to trouble Minister Han to check the serial number on the money. After all, I really can't believe that so many people who come to my house asking my wife to make clothes would give me money with a neat row of serial numbers."

After Cheng Ji finished speaking, Fu Yao's eyes lit up. She leaned closer to take a look, and sure enough, it was true; these numerical codes were only different in the last digit.

"What else do you have to say to argue?" Han Chaoying looked at Guo Zhaodi coldly.

Guo Zhaodi immediately broke out in a cold sweat, but she still tried to put on a brave face.

"I...I don't know. They must have planned this in advance. Boss, I don't know, I really don't know. I really did find this evidence."

That's what they said, but everyone understood what was going on with Guo Zhaodi's drastically changed expression.

"Since you show no remorse, then call the police and let the officers interrogate you."

Cheng Ji gave a cold shout and threw the man to the ground.

Guo Zhaodi was so frightened that she trembled like a leaf and fainted.

At the same time, the inspectors outside came in.

"Minister, nothing unusual has been found."

Han Chaoying nodded.

Fu Yao then led the inspectors directly to the back room where she made clothes.

There was only a sewing machine in the huge room, and two garments were being made, but after a thorough search, no reward was found.

As for the money in her and Cheng Ji's possession, each transaction had a source and matched up. With the testimonies of Zhang Xiaojuan and Chen Mei, as well as Cheng Ji's previous reports, the Political Department believed that Fu Yao had not used it for personal gain.

This farce finally came to an end after half a day.

"Comrade Fu Yao, thank you for your hard work today. The organization has investigated the matter thoroughly and will definitely give you an explanation."

After speaking to Cheng Ji and Fu Yao, Han Chaoying took Wang Guangming and Guo Zhaodi away.

Zhang Xiaojuan and Chen Mei also left, leaving only Cheng Ji and Fu Yao in the room.

"Phew! It's finally over."

Seeing that the person had left, Fu Yao hugged Cheng Ji, looking exhausted.

Cheng Ji steadily supported the little girl's body, gently comforting her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Mmm!" Fu Yao nodded and hugged the man's waist tightly.

The two comforted each other, while the Sun family on the other side panicked after hearing the news that Guo Zhaodi had been taken away.
