Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Before she reached the village committee, from afar, Su Jinyue saw a three-wheeled police motorcycle driving into the village committee yard. Why were they at the village so early?

Shaking her head, she walked towards the village committee house.

The Village Chief had just finished brewing his tea and was about to read today’s newspaper, when he heard the sound of a motorcycle coming from outside. Confused, he put down the teacup in his hand and walked out.

When he reached the door, he saw a three-wheeled police motorcycle parked in the yard. Two policemen jumped out of the police vehicle.

The Village Chief quickly went forward and shook hands with the two policemen. “My two comrades! Why are you here today?” He didn’t hear about anything happening in the village.

“It’s like this. Song Yiren from your village hired an assassin and has been detained in our police station. Please inform her family,” one of the policemen said.

“Hi-hired an assassin? Comrade! Are you sure?” The Village Chief’s eyes widened in disbelief. Of course he knew Song Yiren. She was a very good girl with good medical skills. She would greet him politely whenever she saw him. He found it hard to believe that she would do such a thing.

“We have the evidence. Please inform her family. We have something to attend to, so we’ll be leaving now,” the other policeman said. They were only here to inform them, but whether the other party believed them or not had nothing to do with them.

“Okay!” The Village Chief saw Su Jinyue walking in and hurriedly waved at her. “Dr. Su, you’re here at the right time. Something happened to Dr. Song.”

Surprise flashed across Su Jinyue’s eyes as she walked forward. “What happened to her?” Looks like these two policemen were here because of Song Yiren.

The Village Chief pointed at the two policemen beside him and said, “These two comrades said that Dr. Song has been locked up for hiring an assassin.”

Su Jinyue was stunned for a moment before regaining her senses. “I understand. Thank you, Village Chief!” She did not need to guess to know that Yihan must have arranged for Song Yiren to be arrested.

Su Jinyue’s heart was filled with sweetness at the thought of Zhan Yihan. They had only been apart for a day, but she could not help but miss him. She wondered if he was thinking about her.

Seeing that Su Jinyue had returned, Xu Tiansheng hurriedly asked, “Jinyue, is there any news of her?”

Su Jinyue walked in front of Xu Tiansheng and looked at him hesitantly. After a long while, she said, “Yiren has been arrested by the police.” Even if she didn’t say anything, this piece of news would quickly spread throughout the entire village.

“What?!” Xu Tiansheng sprung up in disbelief. “What’s going on? Why did they arrest her?”

“They said Yiren hired an assassin to kill someone. The evidence is conclusive. I don’t know the exact details.” Needless to say, she knew that the person Song Yiren wanted to kill was her, but her Teacher would be even sadder if she told him that.

Xu Tiansheng shook his head in disbelief. “That’s impossible! Why would she do such a thing? They must have caught the wrong person. Let’s go to the police station.” He had to find a way to save her.

“The police said we can’t visit now,” Su Jinyue said with a sigh. She wanted Song Yiren to have a taste of being bullied in jail.

In her previous life, after she was imprisoned, she was often bullied by the seniors in the prison. Not only did they beat her up, they also did not let her sleep. Every time she slept, they would kick her awake. If she resisted even a little, they would beat her up. They would even drench her with urine and make her drink it. Those days were really worse than death.

“Then what should we do?” Xu Tiansheng looked at Su Jinyue anxiously. This news really made him panic.

“Teacher, don’t worry. I’ll go to the county this afternoon to find out what’s going on.” Su Jinyue sighed helplessly in her heart. The one who is the most upset about Song Yiren getting into trouble, is still Teacher.

“I’ll come with you.” How can he sit still when something happened to Yiren?

“But what about the clinic? There can’t be no one here, right?” Su Jinyue asked. If it wasn’t for her Teacher, she wouldn’t even bother going to the county.

“In that case, you stay in the clinic. I’ll go to the county.” Xu Tiansheng decided.

Su Jinyue thought about it and nodded. “Alright.” If her Teacher doesn’t go, he definitely won’t give up.

Wang Meizhen was washing clothes in the courtyard when she saw Auntie Zhang rush in.

“Daughter-in-law of the Zhan family, have you heard? Dr. Song has been arrested by the police,” Auntie Zhang said as she walked in. She came over as soon as she heard the news. The eldest son of the Zhan family was engaged to Dr. Su. No matter what, they were related.

Wang Meizhen froze and stopped washing the clothes. “What happened?”

“They said she hired an assassin to kill someone. I just heard about it.” Auntie Zhang pulled a small stool over and sat down in front of Wang Meizhen.

“Hired an assassin? How is that possible?” Wang Meizhen was in disbelief. Although she didn’t have a good impression of Song Yiren, she didn’t think she would do such a thing.

“It’s true. Some policemen came to the village this morning. That Dr. Song looks pretty good normally. Why would she do such a thing? Hah!” Aunt Zhang sighed in pity.

Wang Meizhen shook her head and continued to wash her clothes. Fortunately, Yihan didn’t fancy Song Yiren. Otherwise, the Zhan family would have been censured behind their backs.

“I wanted to introduce someone to Dr. Song, but fortunately, I didn’t. Otherwise, I would have been scolded to death by that person. Your oldest son is engaged to Dr. Su. Will it affect him?” Auntie Zhang asked worriedly.

“I don’t think so.” Wang Meizhen was a little uncertain.

“Mother, what is it about that you don’t think so?” Zhan Yiping asked while munching on a large flatbread. She had applied for two days of leave this time, and would be returning to school at night.

“Dr. Song was arrested by the police,” said Auntie Zhang.

Zhan Yiping’s mouth gaped open in shock. “Auntie Zhang, are you kidding?” How can a good person like Song Yiren be arrested by the police? If they are going to arrest someone, it should be Su Jinyue.”

“How can something like this be a joke? The entire village has heard about it. If you don’t believe me, go outside and ask around,” said Auntie Zhang as she pointed outside.

“Why is the police arresting Dr. Song?” Zhan Yiping asked. She still could not believe it.

“They said that she hired an assassin to kill someone. I’m not sure about the rest,” said Auntie Zhang. She only had a rough idea.

“Hired an assassin to kill someone? Who would she kill?” Zhan Yiping found it funny. It sounded like an obvious lie, but she did not know who had spread the rumor.

Auntie Zhang shook her head. “I don’t know.”

Zhan Yiping took a bite of the flatbread in her hand and said with a smile, “Auntie Zhang, you must have been deceived by someone. Dr. Song usually doesn’t have any grudges with anyone, so who would she plan to kill by hiring an assassin? Maybe someone is trying to ruin Dr. Song’s reputation.” She felt that this matter should be related to Su Jinyue.

Wang Meizhen and Auntie Zhang looked at each other and felt that Zhan Yiping’s words made sense.

“Regardless of whether it’s true or not, you’re not allowed to interact with Song Yiren in the future. She harbors malicious intentions.” Wang Meizhen warned Zhan Yiping. She just didn’t like Song Yiren.

“I’ll go outside and find out what’s going on,” Zhan Yiping said as she headed outside. She didn’t care what her mother said.. In any case, Song Yiren was good to her, and she liked Song Yiren.
