"It seems that someone is trying to frame me, but I am not afraid of the shadow. I have never done it, and I have never touched the knife at all."
Huang Ding followed behind, even more worried.
"Yan Qing, maybe that weapon is really a murder weapon. I'm so panicked."
Xu Yanqing didn't even take any chances. She had already guessed that Zong Zhang was stabbed to death by this dagger.
Yu Zhi opened the car door and took Xu Yanqing to sit in.
She must be frightened, so she needs to calm down her shock first.
Jiang Huai arranged a place for dining. Xu Yanqing followed Yu Zhi inside absentmindedly. Just before going to the second floor, she heard Yu Yi's voice.
"Stubborn."
"Mom!" Fenfan saw Xu Yanqing and immediately shouted loudly.
Xu Yanqing looked up and saw several people standing at the stairs, including Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu.
Her footsteps obviously stopped for a moment, and she ran down the stairs and held her hand.
"You guys are coming here to eat too, okay?"
Xu Yanqing looked a little unnatural, and her palms were held tightly by her hands. Mrs. Yu didn't want to stand here and be watched by people, "Bangsheng, let's go."
"Grandma, I want to be with my mother. The table we eat at every time is big enough to sit on."
Yu Zhi reached out and touched his daughter's chin, "Then you will eat with us. Dad has also made a reservation."
Since Mr. Yu's illness, his body looks thinner than before, but he still can't hide the accumulated old-fashioned and violent energy in his eyes.
"Let's get together." That's all he said.
Hearing this, Yu Yi's face showed some displeasure, "Dad, you are confused, we are having a family dinner, and she is an outsider..."
"Didn't you hear what Fenfan called her?"
He experienced a terminal illness. If Xu Yanqing hadn't given birth to this daughter, it would have been even harder for him to wait for Yu Zhi to bring him grandchildren.
Mr. Yu took the lead to walk to the box. Yu Yi looked unhappy, "Mom, look at Dad..."
"Say less."
Full and happy, he took Xu Yanqing's hand and walked up, "I can have dinner with my mother. It's great."
Xu Yanqing and the Yu family were caught off guard and sat at a dining table.
Yu Zhi put the clean chopsticks in her hand. After the food was served, he stood up and made a bowl of soup.
"You have a bad stomach, drink something hot first."
When he took care of Xu Yanqing, he was so natural that it made people feel that this kind of thing should be done by stubbornness, but he was clearly a refined person who enjoyed himself.
Yu Yi cupped Mrs. Yu's arm and showed her.
Even if Xu Yanqing is used to it, he can't take this kind of scene too naturally.
She quickly took the bowl and scooped out half the bowl for Yu Zhi.
At the table, she kept picking up dishes for him.
Yuzhi didn't have time to eat, and the bowl was piled up.
He wanted to laugh, so he leaned close to Xu Yanqing's ear as if no one else was around, "Don't be so anxious to show off, even if you don't pick up the food for me, your image as a good wife has already been established."
"Don't talk nonsense."
The child is still here, and Mrs. Yu will not let the atmosphere become too awkward.
"Being a reporter must be hard, right? You really need to eat more."
Xu Yanqing said thank you.
Mr. Yu didn't know her very well, so he looked at her twice while eating.
Unlike other women who fawn over and be humble, when Xu Yanqing sits there, she feels very comfortable and has no sense of kitsch.
He chatted with Xu Yanqing for a few words, and she seemed to be very generous.
Yu Yi picked up the red wine glass and shook it gently in her hand.
"I heard that something big happened today. How come you have a knife in your bag? It was photographed by so many people..."
"I have already made a record at the police station. If I am really involved in that matter, the police will not let me back."
Yu Yi pretended to be surprised, "Have you been taken to the police station?"
"I'm just cooperating with the investigation." Xu Yanqing answered accurately.
"It must not sound good if this kind of news spreads, right?"
"Isn't it the duty of every citizen to cooperate with the police?" Xu Yanqing asked rhetorically.
Yu Yi was speechless.
Before the dinner was finished, there was a sudden noise outside the door. Jiang Huai failed to stop it, and Xu Yanqing saw the door open.
Several officers in police uniforms walked directly to Yu Zhi, and Xu Yanqing thought they were coming for her.
She wanted to stand up, but Yu Zhi held her legs down.
When Xu Yanqing saw the other party showing his ID, she was afraid that her child would be frightened.
"Excuse me, is there anything else..."
But the leading police officer did not look at her. He just said to Yu Zhi who was sitting, "Please come back to the police station with us and accept the investigation."
"What do you mean?" Yu Yi was the first to shout, "What did my brother do?"
Yu Zhi seemed a little unexpected.
"The test results of the dagger found today have come out. The blood stains belong to Zong Zang, and the fingerprints on the handle belong to Yu Zhi."
Xu Yan heard the silence around him, as if there were only a few breathing sounds suppressing each other.
Mrs. Yu put down the chopsticks in her hand, "Did you make a mistake?"
"Please come with us."
Full and frightened, she didn't dare to say anything. With tears in her eyes, she hurriedly tugged on Xu Yanqing's sleeves and said, "Mom?"
Xu Yanqing said "Don't be afraid" and saw Yu Zhi stand up.
She hurriedly raised her hand and held Yu Zhi's fingertips, fearing that he would just pull away and leave, so she squeezed tightly.
"Didn't that dagger fall out of Xu Yanqing's bag? Why was it my brother who was arrested?"
Yu Yi glanced at Mr. Yu, who was still sitting upright, and said, "Dad, please tell me, we can't let Yu Zhi be taken away like this."
"Why are you panicking?" Mr. Yu sat in his original position, calmly speaking, "It's just an investigation, not a conviction."
"dad--"
Fully jumped down from the chair, ran to Yu Zhi, and hugged his legs.
"Why did the police officer take you away? When will you come back?"
"I'll be back soon. Just follow mom first. Don't be afraid."
Yu Zhi said, rubbing his daughter's head twice with his palms.
He quickly raised his eyes and looked at Xu Yanqing, who was also panicking, "Take care of your daughter."
"Um."
After Zong Zang's death, Xu Yanqing's heart had never settled down properly. At this moment, her worries seemed to have been verified.
Even if Zongzhang dies, he will still have to hold him on his back.
Maybe the person who is supporting me is stubborn, maybe it’s her...
Yu Zhi followed the police and walked out. Yu Yi pulled out the chair, and there was a long and harsh sound being dragged on the floor.
"Xu Yanqing, you planned the whole thing, right?"
In Yuyi's desperation, her mind was extremely clear.
"You deliberately dropped the dagger in front of everyone. No one wanted to frame you. It was you... who appeared as a victim."
"You know you'll be fine because the dagger will only have Yu Zhi's fingerprints on it, right?"
