Wang Shufen happened to lower her head at that moment and saw Yun Que'er.
The two stared at each other for a long time, then both let out a long sigh.
"Thank you, little girl." Wang Shufen stroked Yun Que'er's head. "That kid named Xiao Xuan told me that it was you who had been standing up for me. Really, thank you."
Yun Que'er felt a bit embarrassed by what Wang Shufen said. She didn't think she had actually been of much help. In fact, she had almost made things worse.
If it hadn't been for the last - minute comeback, this matter would have dragged on endlessly.
"It's okay." Yun Que'er said. "I just couldn't stand them bullying others."
Wang Shufen forced a smile. She seemed to be lamenting that a stranger she had never met before could stand up for her, while her own flesh and blood were trying every means to squeeze the last bit of benefit from her.
Wang Shufen really regretted that she had ever thought of dying. She should have lived well and watched those people reap what they had sown.
But fortunately, Wang Shufen had managed to pull through.
Only then did Yun Que'er remember the key point. She turned to look at Ji Chengxuan and silently asked him with her eyes how he had brought Wang Shufen back to life.
Ji Chengxuan gave a light cough and stepped forward.
"Actually, the person was still salvageable. It was just a momentary misjudgment."
Yun Que'er glanced at Ji Chengxuan suspiciously. Was it really so?
Indeed, the current medical means were not very advanced, so misjudgment was possible.
But could such a matter of life and death be casually concluded?
Most importantly, Wang Shufen had been injured after all. Even if she had survived, she should have been weak. But the Wang Shufen she saw now showed no abnormalities except for a pale face.
Yun Que'er couldn't help but start to suspect Ji Chengxuan. Her eyes kept sizing him up.
Ji Chengxuan turned his head away uncomfortably and said,
"Otherwise, let's not stay around the hospital. Let's all go."
After the farce ended, the incident provided a lot of topics for people to chat about after meals. So they no longer paid attention to it and left one after another.
Da Qiang kindly handed Wang Shufen a piece of clothing. Wang Shufen gave him a guilty look, put on the clothes, and silently left.
Ji Chengxuan took the opportunity to mingle with the crowd and walked forward with them.
Yun Que'er stared at Ji Chengxuan's back for a long time. She always felt that something was not right.
What she didn't know was that Ji Chengxuan, who was usually calm and steady, also secretly swallowed his saliva.
He knew that his actions today would definitely arouse Yun Que'er's suspicion. He also knew that this method of bringing the dead back to life could easily expose himself.
But it was a matter of life and death, so Ji Chengxuan had to do it.
Ji Chengxuan sighed slightly. Let it be exposed. Let Yun Que'er know earlier. Then they could recognize each other earlier instead of always hiding things.
That night, Da Qiang's family and Wang Shufen jointly reported the case to the police.
This incident was related to extortion and almost caused a death. So they must seek justice.
Especially since Wang Shufen's father was being held by the other side. He was seriously ill. If he didn't receive timely treatment, it was possible that he would die. So the police immediately took action. It was said that they rescued the person before dawn.
As for Wang Shujuan and her daughter, who had brought disaster on themselves, they were both arrested. As for how they would be sentenced, it would depend on the arrangements there.
The man who had an affair with Wang Shujuan refused to admit his guilt. He insisted that he was seduced by Wang Shufen and Wang Shujuan and had a child with her. He absolutely did not participate in this extortion.
Moreover, Wang Shujuan was stupid. They only had oral communication and left no evidence. So the man was released after being interrogated.
Yun Que'er heard this news as soon as she got on the bus in the morning. She sneered contemptuously.
Did he think he could get away with it?
What goes around comes around. Even if he could escape legal sanctions, he couldn't escape God's retribution.
Yun Que'er yawned slightly. She hadn't slept well last night and needed to catch up on sleep.
But when the passing bus stopped at the police station stop, Yun Que'er inexplicably opened her eyes and happened to meet Wang Shufen's gaze who was standing at the door of the police station.
Wang Shufen smiled and nodded at her. Her mouth opened and closed as if she was saying something.
Yun Que'er leaned over and barely made out that Wang Shufen was saying, "I will definitely repay you."
Yun Que'er smiled. Repayment didn't really matter.
Successfully resolving this matter without bringing disaster to her own family was the best result.
But unexpectedly, the news spread quickly.
When she and Yun Fujin arrived at the village, they saw Yun Jianzhou and Yun Yi standing at the cross - road waiting for them.
As soon as the car stopped, the two rushed up immediately and excitedly welcomed Yun Que'er and the others out of the car.
Before their feet could even touch the ground, Yun Jianzhou and the others started asking questions all at once.
"I heard that Brother Da Qiang's wedding didn't go through. What exactly happened?"
Yun Yi gave Yun Jianzhou a disdainful look. "Didn't they say that the bride was changed? You're such an idiot!"
Yun Jianzhou scratched his messy hair. "Oh, my dear sister, stop scolding me. Xiao Que'er, tell me, what exactly happened? Is it really like what they're saying?"
Yun Que'er rolled her eyes. There were so many questions. Where should she start answering?
"What you heard is what happened." Yun Que'er said. "I'm tired. I don't want to talk about it anymore."
"Xiao Que'er!" Yun Jianzhou chased after her and directly carried Yun Que'er on his shoulders. "Second brother will let you ride on his back today. Just tell second brother, okay?"
Yun Yi squeezed in. "I want to hear too!"
Yun Que'er had no choice but to briefly retell what had happened yesterday to the two of them.
The two listened with their eyes wide open and kept sighing that it was really immoral and unheard - of.
Yun Yi was a bit regretful. "I should have gone with you if I had known."
Yun Jianzhou patted her head. "Didn't you say yesterday morning that you thought there would be too many people and it would be too noisy and you didn't want to go before big brother and the others left? Now you want to join in the fun?"
Yun Yi punched Yun Jianzhou back without showing any weakness. "You're one to talk! Weren't you too lazy to get out of bed and that's why you didn't go?"
Yun Que'er drooped her head. "Second brother, third sister, can you stop arguing? My head hurts."
Yun Fujin, who was following behind, watched the three of them making a ruckus. He couldn't help but smile softly and also chased after them.
"Okay, stop making a fuss. Let's go home first. Uncle Ji, we'll leave first."
Yun Que'er, who was so sleepy that she could hardly keep her eyes open, suddenly woke up and turned her head. She quickly patted Yun Jianzhou's shoulder, signaling him to put her down.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, Yun Que'er ran towards Ji Chengxuan.
"I want to buy candy. Come with me!"
