But if they follow Zhang Peng's wishes, not only will they not be sentenced, Zhang Peng will also compensate Lai Zekai's family a large sum of money, without them being responsible for any of this.

This is why they agreed to do this in the first place.

As for Deputy Zhang, he was entrusted by the old man of the Zhang family. Seeing that they were all so sensible, he had no intention of getting to the bottom of things, so he asked Zhang Peng to compensate Lai Zekai's family, and also did some ideological work for Lai Zekai's family. The case was thus concluded. .

If it weren't for the old man from the Zhang family, he would show off this matter today...

At this time, Deputy Zhang's face was ashen, and there was struggle in his eyes again. He pointed at the three people in front of him and shouted: "Why didn't you tell the truth at that time? I thought I thought... he really fell into the water."

The old man from the Zhang family had greeted him, but he didn't make it too clear. Now he could just pretend to be dumbfounded.

Now the other staff members, none of whom could detect the sternness of Deputy Zhang, looked at each other to see Xi Yan's reaction.

Xi Yan held the chair with his hands, not sure whether he believed what Deputy Zhang said. He was silent for a while. He turned back to the staff and said, "Have you written it all down? Contact the forensic department, retrieve the autopsy files, and interrogate the late night snack stall." The boss of the restaurant and the diners present on the day ensure that nothing is missed.”

Deputy Zhang knew that it was impossible to treat this case lightly, but he did not expect that Xi Yan would investigate so thoroughly. These problems may be serious or light, but there must be someone who bears the greatest responsibility. Besides him, this person must also bear the greatest responsibility. Anyone?
Deputy Zhang was thinking vaguely when he saw Xi Yan sitting on a chair and watching others go out to handle the case.

He suddenly stood up, walked towards Mao Yuning, and asked, "Are you tired? Do you want to go back and rest first?"

Mao Yuning looked at the people around her, and they were also looking at her. Their eyes were looking at her, but they were very kind.

How could she not be kind? Xi Yan didn't give face to anyone on this trip. Only when he talked to her did he feel humane.

They were all speculating that the two of them might be boyfriend and girlfriend...

"Can I go back?" Mao Yuning still remembered that she came here on an iron bench.

Xi Yan turned to look at other staff members and asked, "The transcript is finished, can she go back?"

It was Zhang Peng and Xi Yan who took action at the scene, and they had nothing to do with her.

The others nodded quickly.

Someone took the initiative and said, "I'll take Miss Mao back."

The person who spoke was a young man with a delicate face, who looked at Mao Yuning nervously.

Mao Yuning is about 40 years old, which is a very deceptive age. Although her appearance is not as youthful and energetic as those in her 20s, her skin is as smooth as pearls, her peach blossom eyes are as bright as water, and her body is graceful and graceful. Anyone who sees it will be amazed. Make a sound.

When Zhang Peng met her, he fell in love at first sight. He was thinking about how to catch her. It was only Mao Yuning's lack of response to him that made him so resentful.

"Thank you." Mao Yuning hesitated for a moment, a little afraid of the car they were picking up.

Xi Yan watched them leave and withdrew his gaze.

Mao Yuning stood at the door and saw the young man parked the car at the door. Through the car window, he saw that it was not a car with an iron stool. He felt slightly relieved, opened the door and got in.

Sitting in the car, the young man pretended to inquire casually: "Is Miss Mao the girlfriend of Mr. Xi?"

They had all read Mao Yuning's file and knew that she was a native of Pingyang City and was unlikely to be Xi Yan's girlfriend.

Mao Yuning didn't know that he was asking questions knowingly, but when it came to Xi Yan, she automatically became cautious and replied: "No."

The other party inquired a few more words, and when he saw Mao Yuning staring out the car window in a daze, he wisely closed his mouth.

When I got home, it was already early morning.

Mao Yuning took out the key and opened the door.When she was washing and lying on the bed, it was already half an hour later. She took out her mobile phone and saw the call from Xi Yan.

He seems very uncomfortable with texting.

Mao Yuning was another person who was not used to making phone calls, so she sent him a message back asking him what was wrong.

Xi Yan: "It's okay. I just wanted to ask if you got home safely."

Mao Yuning replied: "I'm back. I just took a shower. Are you finished?"

Xi Yan: "Not yet. I'll treat you to dinner after I finish this matter."

It's somewhat apologetic.

In fact, this incident happened because of Mao Yuning, and it was her who should apologize.

"Okay, let's have dinner together then and I'll treat you." Mao Yuning replied.

Xi Yan replied: "It's all the same."

Mao Yuning hugged the quilt tightly and fell into a deep sleep.

In the next few days, Mao Yuning worked step by step, working both at the martial arts gym and at home.

During the break, Mao Yuning took a supermarket shopping card and went to the supermarket to purchase ingredients.

She rarely goes out, and she is the only one at home. Her uncle will occasionally pick some vegetables and put them at the door of the house. Sometimes it is a wild fish, chickens and ducks raised in the house. She cannot bear to waste it, and usually cooks her own food as much as possible.

I came to the supermarket today and bought some oil, salt and rice sauce.

Pingyang City is a small place. Mao Yuning has lived here for so many years when he was a child, and he can meet several acquaintances when he goes around.

Zheng Juan took several children to the supermarket for shopping. She saw a graceful figure from a distance and thought she had recognized the wrong person. She shouted at her back several times. When Mao Yuning turned around, she was sure that she had not recognized the wrong person.

"Hey, Mao Yuning, it's really you. We haven't seen each other for many years, and you are working at home now?" Although Zheng Juan is a housewife, no one is as slippery as her when it comes to nagging.

Mao Yuning looked at the familiar woman in front of him and remembered that she was his classmate, but her name was a little blurry. It took her a long time to pronounce the name: "Are you Zheng... Juan?"

"Yes, I am Zheng Juan. You still remember me. I thought you had forgotten me a long time ago. We haven't seen each other for many years." Zheng Xue sighed.

The smile on Mao Yuning's face was a little awkward. Looking at the woman in front of him, his memory was suddenly pulled far away.

In high school, when they were students, they still looked youthful.

Time has passed, but it seems like a different face, and even the soul has changed.

The girl who was full of smiles and full of youth now has a greasy ponytail, her skin is dark and rough, the corners of her eyes are covered with dark spots and wrinkles, and she is tired, and her white teeth have turned into smoky brown.

If there is anything that can compare with the youthful soul back then, it must be that she inadvertently turned around, looked at the two children behind her, and said with a smile on her face: "This is your Aunt Mao, why don't you call me Auntie."

The two children just glanced at her, probably because they were afraid of strangers, and lowered their heads unwilling to cooperate.

Mao Yuning didn't care. Looking at the child who had already crossed Zheng Juan's shoulders, she couldn't help but sigh: "Your child is so big..."
