It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

After the guards left, Governor Zheng walked to the window with a worried expression and looked into the distance.

"Brother Nie, please don't make a mistake."

Ever since the case of the broken bones shocked the whole country, he has been investigating matters related to Jiazigou.

They naturally knew that Jiazigou was related to Guaizi Village.

He also knew that Secretary Min had suppressed the news without his consent, which made him angry, but he wouldn't blame her, because if she had known, she would have suppressed it too.

However, he did not blame anyone for this, but during the investigation, he also discovered other criminal facts in Minhang.

Not touching him doesn't mean letting him go; it means they want to lure out the big fish behind him.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly disappeared.

He had a premonition that his disappearance was related to Brother Nie, and now he only hoped that he was still alive.

……

The H City Public Security Bureau is cooperating with the military region in investigating the case of Yun Xuan impersonating someone else. There is one thing they have never figured out: which province, city, county, and mountain was Yun Jiaoyue trafficked to?

Since Yun Li reported the case, we have asked her three times, and she has always made excuses by saying she didn't know.

But no one doubted that she was lying.

After all, she looked to be only four years old. It's not surprising that such a young child would run away from the mountains alone and then wander around, unable to distinguish one place from another.

The military region's interrogation of Yun Xuan also stalled, as Yun Xuan consistently denied abducting Yun Jiaoyue.

She has always maintained that she disliked Chen Baoguo, voluntarily changed her identity, and got off the bus on her own initiative.

The military leadership naturally didn't believe it.

However, because so much time had passed, they were unable to find anyone who had been sitting in the same carriage as Yun Jiaoyue and Yun Xuan to ask.

There was no way to convict her of human trafficking, and no other illegal activities were found, so she was ultimately only convicted of impersonation.

The verdict was handed down: she was sent to the northernmost farm for five years and ordered to pay Yun Jiaoyue's daughter 3,000 yuan in compensation.

This compensation is given because everyone sees that Yunli is so young, and they want to give her some money so that she won't have trouble eating and drinking.

Yunxuan had no objection to the verdict, but she made one condition: she wanted to see Yunli.

The military region contacted the H City Public Security Bureau to explain the situation, and the Public Security Bureau went to find Yun Li.

Yun Li refused, saying she didn't want to see this cuckoo who had usurped her place.

If the person involved doesn't want to meet, no one will force them.

As for Chen Baoguo, after investigation, it was found that he genuinely did not know, so he was released.

The day before Yunxuan went to the farm, Chen Baoguo took his two children and the four of them talked for a long time.

"Mom, you are my and my brother's mom, not some imposter, right?"

"Of course, I am your mother. You came from my belly, you are not imposters. Don't listen to people's nonsense."

Upon hearing her child's words, Yunxuan knew that some gossipy people in the residential compound had said unpleasant things and misled the child.

"Great! I knew Grandma Zhao was talking nonsense." Seven-year-old Chen Yunrong raised her chin, her expression full of pride.

Six-year-old Chen Yunyao echoed his sister, "That's nonsense."

Yunxuan put one child in each arm and hugged them tightly.

She is really scared now, not because she is afraid of being sent to the countryside and having a bad life, but because she is afraid that the evil man who specializes in killing the bloodline of Jiazigou will come and harm her child.

She used to be confident that she could protect the children when she had her by her side, but now that she has to go to the farm for reform and can't be with the children, she always feels uneasy.

A pair of feet appeared in her line of sight, and she felt a gentle touch on her head. She pursed her lips and looked up, only to meet Chen Baoguo's pained gaze.

At the beginning, she focused all her attention on the child and didn't pay attention to him.

It wasn't that she didn't care about him, but rather that she didn't know how to face him.

She was also afraid of seeing his expression of disgust and disappointment.

But at that moment, those eyes filled with heartache and love made her feel relieved.

"Protecting the country..."

Her tearful cry broke Chen Baoguo's defenses. He hugged his wife tightly, burying his face in her neck and sobbing silently.

He knew she had done wrong and that she deserved to be punished.

But he just couldn't accept it, after all, they had been married for many years and had two children.

Whether she was Yun Jiaoyue or not was no longer important to him; all he knew was that she was his wife and the mother of his two children.

A perfectly happy family was shattered just like that; he still can't believe it's true.

I hope it's all a dream, and that when I wake up, everything will be the same as before.

"Baoguo, don't cry, listen to me, this is very important, it concerns our child's life."

When Yunxuan saw that he was the same as before, she made a decision to tell him some things, because only in this way could they better protect their child.

Upon hearing the last sentence, Chen Baoguo immediately stopped crying, but did not change his position of burying his face in the crook of his neck.

"Baoguo, actually I'm from Jiazigou..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Baoguo froze. Jiazigou, a small mountain village, had become famous throughout the country in the past year or so; it was hard not to know about it.

"That Bone-Shattering Demon has her sights set on all those with the bloodline of Jiazigou. I don't know if she'll find me, but just in case, please be extra careful about the children's safety."

The two children were sandwiched between their parents, moving around playfully.

Chen Baoguo lowered one hand and gently patted the naughty child. "I understand..."

After a pause, he asked with incredibly mixed feelings, "Has Yun Jiaoyue arrived at Jiazigou?"

Yunxuan stiffened, turned her head away to avoid his gaze, and did not answer.

Chen Baoguo closed his eyes helplessly. Although she did not answer directly, her expression and behavior said it all.

He could hardly believe it.

"Did you do this?" His voice trembled.

Yunxuan still did not answer.

Silence speaks louder than words. Chen Baoguo looked down at his military uniform; he didn't deserve to wear it.

Upon receiving the answer, he was immediately disappointed and incredulous, and then he thought that he must not let anyone know.

I never intended for her to face legal consequences.

Therefore, he doesn't deserve it!

Releasing her, Chen Baoguo pulled the two children back a step, looked at her, and said, "Take care!"

He paused, then added, "I will send you money and things."

Yunxuan knew she had passed his test. In fact, she could have continued to lie to him, but perhaps because she loved him too much, at this point, she suddenly didn't want to lie to him about anything.

That very night after Yunxuan left, a weasel darted down from the mountain and sped northward.

……

The H City Public Security Bureau informed Zhili Yunli of the investigation results and the verdict against Yunxuan.

This result was expected, and Yun Li was very satisfied. She would deal with the others quickly, but not Yun Xuan.

After five years of farm renovation, even with someone to take care of it, life here probably won't be too good.

However, she wouldn't let anyone take care of her; she had to do the hardest work.
