Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 148 - 149: Call the Police
Chapter 148 -149: Call the Police
“Public Security.” A group of officers quickly rushed in, followed by Xu Shengli, who had just been standing outside and overheard some of the commotion. He now saw his little sister, her face alight with excitement.
“Mr. Public Security, this man has been impersonating my cousin and taking over his job. He refused to admit it, but said he bought the job from my cousin.
When my cousin had an accident and went to the hospital, he had no time to deal with work matters. I suspect that he deliberately harmed my cousin. Please, Mr. Public Security, clear our family’s name,” Xu Ying stood there, her slender figure commanding more respect than one would expect.
She looked at Liu Haile as if he were a tiny, defenseless ant, her gaze filled with scorn and mockery.
His little sister was really something else. Just before parting, she had told him to wait for her at the public security bureau, and if she hadn’t come to find him within twenty minutes, he should bring the officers to the factory director’s office.
Unexpectedly, his little sister had indeed found the person who harmed his cousin.
“No, it’s not me, it was Zhang Guoqing, I gave all the money to him,” Liu Haile frantically explained.
“Mr. Public Security, Liu Haile comes from a complicated family, living only with his sister.
In our village, his sister is known for being spoiled and refusing to work. Her husband is just a Red Guard, earning a meager salary each month. He just mentioned spending eight hundred yuan to buy this job.
His brother-in-law only worked a few years, and his sister indulges in meat and fish daily; she simply can’t save money. It’s impossible for her to have given him the money to buy the job. If you don’t believe it, you can go to our village and ask around,” Xu Ying’s eyes lifted slightly, each word draining the color from Liu Haile’s face.
He was done for, he had caused a huge disaster.
Liu Haile was quickly taken away by the public security officers. Director Hong spoke with an air of righteousness, “Xiao Xu, if there’s anything you need from our factory, just tell us. We will definitely help you.”
“Thank you, Director Hong,” Xu Ying expressed her gratitude.
She was not ungrateful; on the contrary, she knew the importance of appreciation. Now that she was in the factory, she couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
Xu Ying looked at Director Hong and smiled, “Director Hong, our duck products are delicious, but many people have not had the chance to try them, and they are not very receptive to new things.
Why don’t we send a sample of our duck products to each of our factory’s partners?”
“How can we send out duck products? Won’t cooked food spoil if sent out?” Director Hong frowned, not convinced. But Xiao Xu was right; people’s receptiveness to new things was limited, and if we tried to sell them aggressively, they certainly wouldn’t be keen on buying.
Moreover, even if we did have partners, the transportation of cooked food was indeed a problem.
“Director Hong, it’s winter now. Look outside, there’s plenty of ice and snow, which means our duck products can stay fresh for at least four or five days.
If the duck products become popular and we make money, the higher-ups won’t just ignore us.”
Xu Ying’s words hit the nail on the head for Director Hong. He stroked the few hairs he had left and smiled broadly, “You’re the one who knows best. Let’s do as you suggest.”
Xu Ying left the food factory feeling quite content, just wondering how much her salary would be next month.
As soon as Xu Ying and Eldest Brother Xu returned to the village, they saw several police officers standing at the doorway of their neighbor’s house, asking the villagers about the Wu family.
“Exactly, Mr. Public Security, they eat meat every day; who knows where they get all that money.”
“That’s for sure, they eat it morning, noon, and night, not afraid of eating themselves to death.”
Before long, the neighbor’s man was taken away by the police.
Mrs. Xu stood at the door, watching the commotion. Soon, several officers came out carrying heavy wooden boxes, leaving her curious about what was inside as she craned her neck to get a better look.
“Daughter, you just came back from the public security office. What’s happened now?”
Xu Ying had her suspicions, but still shook her head.
Liu Haiyun’s doorstep was crowded with onlookers.
“What’s going on with the Wu family, why have they been arrested all of a sudden?”
“Who knows, but in my opinion, he had it coming. His wife is always showing off, eating meat like it’s nothing every day. Who knows where all that money came from? Probably something illegal.”
“It looks like it to me, just look at those boxes and boxes of stuff. Who knows what they’re filled with.”
Seeing her husband arrested, Liu Haiyun’s face turned pale, wondering what she would do without her husband in the future.
Among the crowd, Zhou Huiru felt a jolt in her heart when she saw Wu Yimu being arrested. She touched her belly and a complex expression flitted across her eyes.
Wu Yimu pleaded with the police, “Mr. Public Security, can you let me speak one sentence to my friend, just one?”
The officer wasn’t heartless and nodded coldly.

Seeing this, Wu Yimu quickly walked up to Zhou Huiru and handed her a handkerchief with something bulky inside, its contents unknown.
When Liu Haiyun caught on, her face turned green with realization.
Looking at Wu Yimu, she burst out cursing, “You heartless bastard, while I take care of you at home, feeding and looking after you, you go behind my back with this slut.”
Zhou Huiru touched the item inside the handkerchief and immediately knew what it was. Fearing that Liu Haiyun would snatch it away, she ran back home.
Wu Yimu was taken away by the police, leaving the villagers buzzing with one piece of news after another.
In the evening, Mr. Xu came home and Mrs. Xu, curious, immediately asked, “What happened, why was the neighbor arrested?”
Mr. Xu sat down, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath before saying, “The neighbor was caught embezzling. No wonder they always had meat on the table. We owe it to our daughter that they caught him embezzling. Shengshun’s accident wasn’t a coincidence either. I heard from a comrade at the police station that Liu Haile said that Zhang Guoqing deliberately harmed Shengshun, splitting the job between the two of them. Liu Haile paid Zhang Guoqing four hundred yuan, but there’s no proof. We need to investigate further.”
Uncle Xu followed Mr. Xu, and upon hearing all this, he was filled with rage, his poor son having been harmed by these people.
“Second brother, don’t be too anxious. Mr. Public Security will surely clear our name,” Mr. Xu tried to soothe his brother.
With tearful eyes and a drooping head, Uncle Xu sighed deeply, “If Shengli’s wife hadn’t mentioned this, who would have suspected that it was done deliberately? It’s my fault for being so negligent, not noticing anything suspicious.”
Mr. Xu looked at his brother’s self-reproach and felt pity, “Back then, you and sister-in-law were busy saving Shengshun, how could you think of all this? But it’s not too late to seek justice for Shengshun; those who harmed him won’t get away with it.”
It was an old story, and evidence would not be easy to come by, Xu Ying thought. Considering that Cheng Yinglan and Cheng Yinghe’s names were so similar, there surely had to be some connection.
She hurried back inside the house and found Eldest Sister-in-law Xu, “Sister-in-law, could you take me to your parents’ home? I want to find out about your brother’s fiancée.”
“Is it about Shengshun’s case?” Eldest Sister-in-law Xu asked, curious.
