Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

After leaving Grandpa Xia's house, Pei Shizhou led his men to the Yang family's house to search the premises and conduct a brief interrogation.

Unsurprisingly, the Yang family knew nothing, but Pei Shizhou still took them all away.

With Yang Yunxia's disappearance, not only were members of the Yang family arrested that night, but the Xia family was also implicated. Xia Zhiheng, in particular, was suspended from his duties pending investigation, and the other members of the Xia family were placed under surveillance.

Xia Zhiheng came to see Pei Shizhou early in the morning. Pei Shizhou, Lin Xingyuan, and Yu Rongbing had been busy all night. They had just lain down when they were woken up by Xia Zhiheng's knocking.

The three of them came out of the room. Pei Shizhou slept alone, while Lin Xingyuan and Yu Rongbing slept together. Yang Yunxia's home and workplace were guarded by other people assigned by the leaders, who told the three of them to come back and rest first.

"Who?" Pei Shizhou asked.

"It's me, Xia Zhiheng."

Upon hearing that it was Xia Zhiheng, Pei Shizhou quickly opened the door and let him in first.

"Shizhou, what exactly happened?"

Xia Zhiheng knew that Pei Shizhou was assisting in the investigation of his uncle's disappearance. Last night, in the middle of the night, he received a call from the bureau chief, who ordered him to suspend all his work, including the case of his uncle's disappearance.

As soon as it was light, he went to the bureau chief's house to ask him about the situation. The bureau chief only told him that the suspension was related to his uncle. He was unwilling to say anything else, so Xia Zhiheng could only go to Pei Shizhou.

"Rongbing, Big Brother, you two go inside and sleep."

The two nodded and went back to their room. Only then did Pei Shizhou look at Xia Zhiheng.

"Brother Zhiheng, Yang Yunxia might be a spy named Bai Ge."

This was the conclusion Pei Shizhou and his team reached after a night of discussion. Even if Yang Yunxia wasn't a spy named Bai Ge, she was still inextricably linked to spies.

"Impossible, impossible, you must be mistaken, how could she be a spy?"

Xia Zhiheng's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, his hands trembled slightly, and his voice became somewhat choked.

"Shizhou, did you make a mistake somewhere? How could my mother be a spy? She is Wang Fengxian's daughter. The Yang family are native Kyoto people. How could they be associated with spies?"

Furthermore, if the Yang family had connections to spies, they wouldn't be such a mediocre family now, and their grandsons wouldn't be so unsuccessful.

The more Xia Zhiheng talked, the more convinced he became that their investigation must have gone wrong; the idea that the Yang family was connected to spies was simply a fantasy.

"Brother Zhiheng, you're right, the Yang family really has nothing to do with spies."

After interrogating the Yang family overnight, it turned out they were a bunch of cowards who confessed everything before any torture even began.

Such people are not even worth a glance from spies; they have no value whatsoever and are both stupid and incompetent.

"You think so too, then you guys..."

Xia Zhiheng's eyes lit up. If Yang Yunxia was a spy, it would be a devastating disaster for him, and his career would be over.

"I'm talking about Yang Yunxia, ​​not a member of the Yang family. Brother Zhiheng, Yang Yunxia escaped from her surveillance yesterday afternoon, and her whereabouts are currently unknown."

Pei Shizhou recounted the events of yesterday to Xia Zhiheng. It was now basically confirmed that Yang Yunxia had escaped, so there was no harm in telling Xia Zhiheng.

The leader said it's fine to let Xia Zhiheng know, in case Yang Yunxia comes looking for him. It'll be good for him to be prepared, and maybe he can even help catch Yang Yunxia.

Pei Shizhou believed that if Yang Yunxia came to Xia Zhiheng, Xia Zhiheng would know what to do. The leaders also believed this, so they didn't intend to hide it from Xia Zhiheng.

"Why? Why would she do that?"

Xia Zhiheng's eyes revealed deep pain and confusion, as if he had suddenly lost his support.

"Brother Zhiheng, think carefully about whether Yang Yunxia is full of suspicious points."

We initially suspect that she framed Zhiqian in an attempt to bring Uncle Xia back, and Yang Yunxia knows Grandma Xia's health best. She can't handle any stress, and Yang Yunxia even went to her house to talk about Zhiqian.

Also, Zhiqian and Jiang Jinning were drugged. You know, only Yang Yunxia had the opportunity to drug them.

Moreover, this drug is different from ordinary date rape drugs on the market; it is only available to specific groups of people.

All the evidence points to her, and I hoped it was a mistake, but that's the truth.

Xia Zhiheng swayed and almost fell. His face turned ashen, and he listened blankly to every word Pei Shizhou said. His lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a word.

His heart felt as if it had been torn into countless pieces. He had always thought that Yang Yunxia was just harboring resentment, which was why she did so many incomprehensible things.

After his grandmother passed away, Xia Zhiheng still hoped that she could change, thinking that she had become so extreme because of his grandmother. It turned out that she was the one who was hiding the deepest secret.

The memory of the past felt incredibly ironic. He never imagined that his mother, who hadn't been kind to them, would actually be a spy lurking among them.

After a long while, Xia Zhiheng slowly squatted down, put his hands on his head, tears streaming down his face, and let out a heart-wrenching cry.

Pei Shizhou patted Xia Zhiheng's shoulder silently, letting him vent his inner pain.

After a long while, Xia Zhiheng raised his head, his eyes red and his voice hoarse, and said, "Shizhou, I will cooperate with your investigation. Since she did such a thing, we cannot let her get away with it."

Xia Zhiheng had to accept the facts in a short period of time, and after adjusting his mood, he thought a lot.

Pei Shizhou nodded and said, "Zhiheng, it's good that you think that way. Next, we need to intensify our pursuit of Yang Yunxia. If you have any news about her, be sure to tell us immediately."

"Okay, about my uncle's disappearance..."

Xia Zhiheng only hoped that his uncle could be rescued; nothing else mattered.

"It must have been her. Now that she's escaped, Uncle Xia's situation will be even more dangerous. Think carefully about where Yang Yunxia could have gone? Where might she have gone? Or has she been close to anyone in the past?"

Xia Zhiheng shook his head. He and Zhiqian didn't have a good relationship with Yang Yunxia. Unless there was something important, they rarely went back to the Xia family's old house.

"What did the Yang family say?"

"They don't know anything, Brother Zhiheng, don't worry, think it over slowly. We've caught so many spies, there shouldn't be many left."

Taking Uncle Xia abroad won't be easy; the spies will likely force him to write down the data from memory. So, for now, Uncle Xia is relatively safe.

Xia Zhiheng's face turned particularly grim as he thought of something. His uncle had a photographic memory, as everyone in the family knew, including Yang Yunxia.

If her uncle refuses to produce the data, Yang Yunxia might become desperate and resort to violence against him.

"Shizhou, I have something to attend to, I'll be leaving now."

Pei Shizhou watched Xia Zhiheng's hurried departure and couldn't help but feel worried.

At this moment, Lin Xingyuan and Yu Rongbing came out of the room.

"Is Xia Zhiheng alright?"

Lin Xingyuan asked. Pei Shizhou shook his head, "He probably won't recover for a while, but he promised to cooperate with the investigation."

Just then, the phone on the table suddenly rang. Pei Shizhou quickly answered it, and an anxious voice came from the other end.

"Shi Zhou, is there any news about him?"

Xia Yichu's voice came from the other end of the phone, and she sounded quite calm.

"Xiao Chu, not yet, don't worry. The higher-ups have sent many people to investigate. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

Pei Shizhou didn't dare tell Xia Yichu that Yang Yunxia might be a spy, for fear of making her anxious.

"Okay, I understand. You can go ahead and get busy. Bye."
