Era: Seven money-losing girls? They're trying to trick me into having a daughter again!

"Did he really say that?"

Upon hearing Zhao Laosan's words, Xu Rui's face immediately darkened.

Fang Wei, a peasant, dares to spout such nonsense?!

"Absolutely true!"

Old Zhao patted his chest and said, "Officer Xu, don't you think Fang Wei deserves to be taught a lesson? Just because he has a few bucks, he thinks he's all that! He even dares to look down on those who work for the government!"

"..."

Xu Rui didn't speak, but his breathing became heavy.

Now that Fang Wei has money, that woman will be even less likely to give him a second glance!

The thought of Wu Shaoli's beautiful face and alluring figure made Xu Rui feel like a cat was scratching at his heart.

He went to great lengths to help Fang Wei get the loan approved, thinking that if Fang Wei couldn't repay the money, he would have a chance to take advantage of the situation.

But now Fang Wei has actually hunted a wild boar in that old forest and made money?!

How could Xu Rui possibly swallow this insult?!

"Director Xu, it's not just these."

Seeing that the time was right, Zhao Laosan gave Mei Yan a wink.

Mei Yan gritted her teeth and suddenly knelt down in front of Xu Rui with a "thump".

"Officer Xu! You have to stand up for me!"

Her tears came suddenly, and she cried so miserably that she even grabbed Xu Rui's trouser leg.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Rui was startled by the woman's posture and instinctively tried to pull his leg back, but it was held tightly. "Get up and talk! Don't kneel!"

If someone were to see him by chance, they might think he was abusing his status to bully ordinary people!

If he reports to his superiors then, he'll be finished!

"Officer Xu! If you don't stand up for me, I'm not getting up today!"

Mei Yan cried even louder, her face covered in snot and tears. "It's all that beast Fang Wei's fault! He's ruined me like this!"

"Fang Wei?"

Xu Rui held onto his pants tightly, afraid that the woman might pull him down if he wasn't careful: "Fang Wei... what did he do to you?"

"Waaaaah—"

Mei Yan covered her mouth and cried for a long time before she finally began to speak, sobbing.

"Officer Xu, you have no idea! That beast Fang Wei used to deceive me with sweet words! He said he liked me and wanted to marry me, and I was so foolish that I believed his lies!"

"He...he not only deceived my feelings, but he also forced himself on me...he had sex with me!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Rui's expression immediately turned to shock.

"Officer Xu!"

Mei Yan suddenly raised her voice, which became high-pitched and thin.

"I'm pregnant with Fang Wei's child now! But that beast is taking advantage of the money he's made and refuses to admit anything!"

"I went to his house to find him, and he actually kicked me out, and even said, even said..."

She paused deliberately at this point, sobbing uncontrollably.

"What else is there to say?"

Xu Rui pressed for an answer.

"He also said that if I dared to go to him again, he would beat me to death!"

After saying this, Mei Yan hugged Xu Rui's leg and burst into tears.

"Officer Xu! You're a cadre from the subdistrict office, a righteous official! You absolutely must stand up for me!"

"I'm a widow with no one to rely on. If even you won't help me, I'll have no choice but to die with my unborn child!"

Zhao Laosan watched in stunned silence.

This woman's acting is amazing!

If he hadn't orchestrated the whole thing from the beginning, he almost would have believed it!

Besides, wasn't it this woman who took the initiative to seduce Fang Wei in the first place?!

"Officer Xu!"

Zhao Laosan didn't forget his role and quickly put on an indignant expression.

"Look what that beast Fang Wei has done! If no one does anything about this, what will become of the world?"

"Just because he has a few stinking coins doesn't mean he can act recklessly, seducing women and abandoning them after starting relationships. Isn't this utterly lawless?!"

"Besides, Officer Xu, think about it. Fang Wei is showing off in the village every day. If his dirty deeds get exposed, it'll be a disgrace to all of us government officials!"

Xu Rui sat in the chair, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

He knew very well that issues of conduct between men and women were no small matter.

Hooliganism and promiscuous relationships are both crimes that can land you in jail!

If what this woman said is true, then he could simply take the security personnel to the police station to report the case and have Fang Wei arrested.

Once Fang Wei goes to prison, that family, already burdened with debt, will be completely ruined!

At that time, Wu Shaoli, a widow and orphan, would be at his mercy.

Xu Rui had even begun to fantasize about Wu Shaoli kneeling before him and begging for mercy.

The way that woman was kneeling on the ground...

Xu Rui's throat moved, and he suddenly stood up.

But just as he was about to go out and call for help, another thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Wait!

If Fang Wei is sent directly to the police station, the money he has will definitely be confiscated or used to pay off his loans.

The village will also take back the contract rights of the old forest farm.

In the end, all he got was Wu Shaoli, and he didn't get a single penny of benefit.

But if we look at it from a different perspective...

If they use the "child" in Mei Yan's belly as leverage to blackmail Fang Wei...

Then the situation will be completely different!

Now that Fang Wei has money, as long as I keep this leverage firmly in my hands, Fang Wei will have no choice but to hand over the money with both hands.

At that time, he will not only get the money, but also have Fang Wei work like a slave for him!

As for Wu Shaoli... once Fang Wei is completely under his control, he can take her whenever he wants.

Xu Rui became more and more excited as he thought about it, and slowly sat down again, his eyes flashing with a light that made Zhao Laosan feel a chill in his heart.

Mei Yan was still kneeling on the ground, but her crying had subsided considerably.

She secretly raised her head and glanced at Xu Rui out of the corner of her eye. Seeing him sitting there without saying a word, she felt a little uneasy.

What is this guy thinking? Does he not believe her?

"Get up first."

Xu Rui finally spoke.

Mei Yan paused for a moment, then looked at Zhao Laosan beside her.

Zhao Laosan winked at her, meaning to listen to Xu Rui first.

Mei Yan then slowly got up from the ground.

When she stood up, she deliberately bent over and patted her pants, revealing the beautiful scenery inside her neckline.

Xu Rui's gaze lingered on her neckline for a moment, then subtly moved away.

"You say you're pregnant with Fang Wei's child, what proof do you have?"

Xu Rui picked up the enamel mug, took a sip of tea, and asked casually.

"evidence?"

Mei Yan was stunned. How could she possibly have evidence of something like this?!

"Officer Xu, this kind of thing..."

She put on a pitiful look and her voice became sweet and delicate.

"That beast Fang Wei ran away after sleeping with me. I couldn't possibly drag him back and force him onto the bed for everyone to see."

"But everything I said is true! If I've uttered even half a lie, may I be struck by lightning!"
