Lin Suisui carefully explained what Yuan Niang needed to prepare, such as medicine, bandages, and bandages. However, when everything was ready, nothing happened the next day.

It wasn’t that everything went smoothly, but Lu Ze and Pei Qian had calculated everything thoroughly, so those who wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble were caught by the soldiers who had already been lying in ambush.

Not only was the sacrificial ceremony unaffected, but even the surrounding citizens were not affected.

Although this matter was a thorn in Lin Sui’s side, the death of the eatery’s boss still caused them trouble.

Because there was a witness.

“I don’t understand. How can such a thing be used as evidence?” Yuan Niang was furious at the development of the matter.

This matter wasn’t that troublesome to begin with, but the constable who took over the investigation this time was special.

Constable Liu Zhong was an anomaly in the northern region.

He abhorred evil. Unlike the officials here who preyed on the commoners and wreaked havoc on the villagers, he was one of the rare people who would seek justice for the commoners.

Because of his personality, he had always been disliked by County Governor Tang and was usually tasked with all kinds of tough assignments. And this time, he happened to be idle in Cloud Mountain City, so this case happened to fall into his hands.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with him, but he insists that our medical center is the most suspicious.”

Thinking of that stubborn constable, Yuan Niang stomped her feet in anger. “He insisted that someone told him that our medical center bullies people and forced that restaurant into a corner.

When have we ever done that?

I really regret it now. I shouldn’t have been soft-hearted and continued to renew my contract with that restaurant! Now, I caused so much trouble!”

At the mention of the past, Yuan Niang couldn’t help but grit her teeth.

Previously, she had seen that the boss of the eatery was having a hard time and that her food was good, so she thought that it was fine to continue working with her. However, who would have thought that she would betray their medical center for just a little bit of money?

After what had happened, wasn’t it only right for her to cancel the cooperation? What did they do wrong?

“Don’t be angry. Since you all say that the constable is capable, he must be able to find out the truth.” After hearing Yuan Niang’s explanation, Lin Suisui wasn’t that worried.

If that person was really as capable as the rumors said, he would definitely be able to find out the truth.

“Just try your best to cooperate with his investigation these few days. I believe that the heavens won’t let innocent people be blamed. Besides, with our current situation, are you afraid that he will falsely accuse us?”

Lin Sui’s words calmed Yuan Niang down a little. After she thought about it for a moment, she finally nodded in agreement. “I’ll cooperate with him this time. As long as it’s not too much, I’ll satisfy whatever his requests are. I want to see what he can find out!”

Yuan Niang was an impatient person, so after making up her mind, she didn’t stay any longer and quickly left without looking back.

“I haven’t seen Yuan Niang so angry in a long time.” After sending Yuan Niang off, Lin Suisui smiled at Bai Guo, who was standing beside her, and teased, “It seems that this constable is really something.”

“Constable Liu is a very famous tough nut to crack in the northern region.” Bai Guo clearly knew this constable to a certain extent. Seeing that Lin Suisui was interested, she told Lin Suisui what she knew about him.

“Actually, he wasn’t like this in his early years.

At that time, his wife was still around and his personality was kind. Many people in Cloud Mountain City had received his help, but the good times didn’t last long. Constable Liu’s wife was chosen by a marquis at that time and he raped his wife while Constable Liu was out investigating a case.

When he returned, his wife had already hanged herself, leaving behind a daughter who was still in her infancy.

Liu Zhong wanted to take revenge, but the marquis had a powerful background. No matter how Constable Liu tried, he still couldn’t avenge his wife and he almost lost his life in the end.

After Lu Ze came to the northern region, he happened to encounter this case, so he took the opportunity to make an example of the marquis and avenged Constable Liu. He even reorganized the military affairs in the northern region.

From then on, Liu Zhong’s personality changed drastically and he always assumed that powerful families bullied others.”

If Bai Guo hadn’t told him, she wouldn’t have known that he actually had some ties with Lu Ze.

However, Yuan Niang didn’t know about their past. When she entered the medical center and saw the man who had come in earlier, her scalp went numb and she became angry.

“Why are you here again?” Yuan Niang glared at Liu Zhong and said with disdain, “Constable Liu, if you really suspect that our medical center bullied people and took revenge by killing the boss’s family, please show evidence immediately!

If there’s no evidence, please find evidence immediately, okay? Don’t keep coming to our medical center all day long. Our medical center has to receive patients!

How can we receive patients if you stand here like this?”

Yuan Niang’s words were harsh, and her attitude was unpleasant. No matter how one looked at it, she seemed a little aggressive, but Liu Zhong wasn’t angry. He continued to look at her coldly, as if he was looking at an unreasonable child. Then, he said in a businesslike manner, “I’m investigating the truth.

However, in order to investigate the truth faster, I also need the help of your medical center.

Please understand if this has caused trouble.

After all, I think everyone wants to wash up as soon as possible.”

Yuan Niang felt exasperated and she pursed her lips. After she stared at Liu Zhong for a long time, she said reluctantly, “Alright, tell me. You’ve come to our medical center four to five times in the past two days, so if you have anything else to ask, ask quickly!”

“I’d like to meet the real boss of your medical center.” When Liu Zhong heard Yuan Niang’s words, he stated his request directly..
