However, when he saw Qiao Qingyu sitting steadily by his side, he didn’t know why, but his heart also settled down.

People always say, "Follow the phoenix, and you’ll turn into a handsome bird."

Getting married to He Xiuyu, his niece could surely learn a thing or two.

Once they entered the Public Security Bureau, his niece produced an introduction letter, a family ID, and then a blue booklet.

This blue booklet was issued to Qiao Qingyu by He Xiuyu.

Even he did not know what was written on it, but as soon as the receptionist saw it, she immediately stood up, her expression turning serious.

It startled him, but as his niece continued to sit steadily in her chair, he had no choice but to remain still as well, while the receptionist asked them to wait a moment and then scurried out of the office.

It wasn’t long before she led the two of them into another office, much larger than the first, and even furnished with a sofa.

Although Qiao Zhiyuan was just a small team leader, he had actually met the person in front of him once before at a big meeting in the county; this person was the deputy director.

The receptionist from earlier was sitting next to him with the booklet.

After introductions were made, the deputy director nodded at him, then turned to Qiao Qingyu with a very serious expression, "Comrade Qiao Qingyu, please describe in detail what happened."

Qiao Zhiyuan promptly closed his mouth.

He only knew those old women had insulted his niece but didn’t really know what they had said.

But he listened intently as Qiao Qingyu solemnly said, "I am a daughter married out from the Qiao Family Team. Personally, they are all my elders; no matter how they insult or slander me, as a junior, I shouldn’t come here to file a complaint. However, I can’t be so selfish, as justice outweighs sentiment, especially when facing major right and wrong issues. I must adhere to the principles, even if it means cutting off familial ties."

The deputy director nodded, "Comrade Qiao Qingyu, you’re right. In the face of major right and wrong, we must adhere to the principles!"

"Yes, that’s exactly what I believe. Also, I am doing this to save them, to prevent them from committing unforgivable mistakes in the future.

Due to confidentiality reasons, I will not say more here. You saw the documents earlier; I hope these people can recognize their mistakes, correct them timely, and turn over a new leaf."

Afterwards, Qiao Qingyu took out a notebook and a fountain pen from her bag and wrote several lines without a word. After she finished writing, she directly handed it to the deputy director.

After reading it, the deputy director stood up, his voice sharp as he ordered the receptionist, "Arrange for the police to be dispatched!"

Uncle Qiao was stunned; he was still in a daze, not even understanding what had happened. From start to finish, Qiao Qingyu hadn’t mentioned what those old women had said to insult her, so why had he agreed to dispatch the police?

Qiao Zhiyuan felt dizzy, his body almost floating, but he resolutely stood behind Qiao Qingyu.

Though he was close by, he also hadn’t seen what was written on that piece of paper, which the deputy director had already folded and tucked into a drawer.

Then they left the office and arranged for the police to be dispatched as swiftly as possible. But unexpectedly, when they reached the main entrance, a military jeep blocked their way.

Qiao Zhiyuan had not only failed to anticipate that the deputy director would personally join them in dispatching the police, but he was also surprised when a uniformed man stepped out of the military jeep and stopped their police car.

After the deputy director recognized who it was, he quickly opened the car door and got out, with Qiao Zhiyuan and Qiao Qingyu following. Qiao Zhiyuan suddenly remembered that while he had been riding with Qiao Qingyu toward the county town, over a dozen jeeps and military trucks had passed them on the road.

It seemed they were all together.

What he hadn’t anticipated even more was that this stern yet handsome young man was none other than He Xiuyu’s older brother and He Shan’s eldest son, now the commander of the Huaxia Special Forces Team, He Xiuwen.

After a brief explanation of the situation by the deputy director, they set off again, this time with He Xiuwen and two team members following behind.

The county town wasn’t far from the Qiao Family Team; by car, it was just over ten minutes.

So, the people of the Qiao Family Team were still having lunch when these individuals arrived in the village.

Following them in a brisk jog were Captain Sun Dazhang and Accountant Zhang.

The police car hadn’t even entered the village yet when Captain Sun heard it, nearly dropping his bowl in fright.

Only one thought crossed his mind, "Qiao Qingyu has won!"

At that moment, the police officers pushed open the gate of Qiao Lao Si’s house.

The Qiao Lao Si family hadn’t split their household, living together in five mud brick rooms with two side rooms, accommodating over twenty family members.

It was May, and they were dining outside.

Proud and smug, Zhao Daju leaned against the fence, still chatting with Second Aunt Li on the other side about today’s achievements.

Cursing Qiao Qingyu and mocking Han Xianglan while also slandering Qiao Zhicai as an old bastard.

As these people entered, the bowl in Qiao Lao Si’s hands clattered to the ground, and his legs went weak.

Zhao Daju, on the other hand, frowned, looking at the newcomers with bewildered suspicion.

Then she saw that wretched girl, Qiao Qingyu, standing next to Qiao Zhiyuan, watching her with a cold, mocking gaze.

She wasn’t stupid; naturally, she wouldn’t dare to curse Qiao Qingyu at this moment.

But she also didn’t dare to tell these people to leave.

Among those who had come was Captain Tang from the public security squad.

He was tall and imposing, standing in the courtyard and asking with a frown, "Who is Zhao Daju?"

All eyes turned toward Qiao Lao Si’s wife.

Her hands trembled slightly, yet she replied defiantly, "I am Zhao Daju, so what?"

"Zhao Daju, I ask you, at exactly ten fifty-five this morning near the entrance of the Qiao Family Team’s village, did you or did you not say, ’I am the Old Mountain Eagle?’"

Aside from Qiao Qingyu, He Xiuwen, and the deputy director, no one knew what the three words "Old Mountain Eagle" stood for...

The deputy director knew because he had received a confidential memo some time ago asking him to conduct an investigation in Hejia Village.

It was regarding a lead on the Old Mountain Eagle.

In Hejia Village there were also He Xiuyu’s grandparents.

For some reason, everyone suddenly felt the air turn colder.

Second Aunt Li looked uncertainly at Qiao Lao Si’s wife; Zhao Daju had said it, but what was wrong with that statement?

And the following part she said was—specifically to catch shameless creatures like you.

Normally, Zhao Daju would have admitted it without caring, defiantly saying, "Yes, I said it, what can you do to me!"

But she hesitated.

In that moment of hesitation, Captain Tang asked Captain Sun, who had followed him, "Captain, who here is called Li Er Ya?"

Captain Sun pointed at Second Aunt Li, "She is Li Er Ya."

Captain Tang asked sternly, "Li Er Ya, was it you or Zhao Daju who said the sentence ’I am the Old Mountain Eagle?’"

Then his voice suddenly became harsh, "Do not lie!"

Li Er Ya nearly collapsed in fright, her hands flailing, "It wasn’t me who said it, it was Zhao Daju."

The deputy director waved his hand, his voice carrying a chill, "Take her away!"
