Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work Chapter 268: Outstanding Achievement

Because of Lu Cong’s issue, Guo Xiangxiang was also invited by the police for questioning. Yi Roujing was worried about her being alone, so she accompanied her. Guo Xiangxiang was present during the only interaction with Lu Cong and could provide testimony.

Going to the police station inevitably leads to encountering familiar yet unfamiliar people, the police officers previously involved with Zou Xuri. Wu Zhuoyue had complex feelings towards Yi Roujing, who had just arrived.

Zou Jianling had previously told him about Xu Ancheng’s background, a son retrieved by the Xu Family in Jing City. The Xu Family of Jing City is renowned among police circles, generations have served in law enforcent with distinguished achievents; the current family head is the head of the Ministry of Public Security, a position many cannot achieve within generations.

Wu Zhuoyue now feels relieved that he hasn’t used his position for personal gain. Zou Xuri is still lying in bed after being beaten. Zou Jianling also feels relieved that at least he is okay, no major aftereffects. Previously vigilant, now things in the Zou Family are back to normal, knowing this hurdle has passed.

Seeing Yi Roujing supporting a nurse with a pale face, both wearing nurse uniforms, Wu Zhuoyue personally poured two cups of hot water and handed them to them.

Yi Roujing wasn’t in the mood to converse with Wu Zhuoyue; she thanked him and then ignored him.

Wu Zhuoyue is the captain of the criminal police squad and didn’t originally want to get involved, but since it concerned Yi Roujing, he went to talk to Lou Wenjian, expressing willingness to help.

Lou Wenjian oversees public security, and recently he has been preparing for his wedding. Lou Wenjian knows Wu Zhuoyue’s record, which is impressive in criminal investigation, so he agreed to let Wu Zhuoyue assist in handling the detainees.

Importantly, Xu Ancheng previously ntioned that if Lou Wenjian is overwheld, he could ask Wu Zhuoyue for help.

Lu Cong refused to answer any of the police’s questions; Lu Ming and his wife were also brought to the police station. Although they’re brothers, Lu Ming doesn’t know much about Lu Cong. His brother had just arrived in Huaixi County a month ago; he was previously in their hotown, which is in East Province.

What a coincidence, also from East Province.

Upon Lu Ming and his wife’s arrival, Yi Roujing slled a fairly strong fragrance of osmanthus, and imdiately went to find Lou Wenjian.

anwhile, Xu Ancheng had been to Huaixi County Hospital early on, but he didn’t go to the wards; he sat by the flowerbed downstairs at the inpatient departnt, observing the people going in and out.

So people, upon a glance, reveal differences from others. Xu Ancheng also arranged for soone to covertly watch room 208 upstairs.

Xu Ancheng checked his watch, having been seated at the flowerbed for half an hour. He stood up and left Huaixi County Hospital; one cannot be exposed in the sa place for too long.

A person under Zhao Guang, who hadn’t shown themselves in front of detainees, dashed to the hospital and approached Xu Ancheng at the hospital entrance, whispering after catching his breath.

Upon hearing Lu Cong was caught, Xu Ancheng frowned. Lu Cong being caught at this ti was untily, and it felt more like a voluntary surrender. It seems the wait at the hospital was for nothing, so Xu Ancheng instructed soone to continue keeping watch while he headed to the police station.

As soon as he entered, Xu Ancheng saw his wife in a nurse’s uniform talking to Lou Wenjian, and his eyebrows slightly knitted.

"Cheng, over here, over here." Yi Roujing imdiately noticed Xu Ancheng at first glance.

"Why are you here?" Xu Ancheng asked after thoroughly examining Yi Roujing to ensure she was okay.

"Cheng, I know where their base is." Yi Roujing said excitedly.

"You stay here, Lou Wenjian and I will go." Xu Ancheng replied.

Yi Roujing didn’t insist and sat back next to Guo Xiangxiang.

At this point, Guo Xiangxiang had cald down, "Roujing, what exactly happened? I felt like you knew sothing. Was your visit to the hospital related to this?"

"It’s hard to say right now." Yi Roujing explained, "This began with..."

Yi Roujing recounted the ssage from the kindergarten doorman. A similar case happened in Jing City before, though it hasn’t happened in Huaixi County yet, the thod seed too familiar. She was worried and asked the police to investigate upon returning, discovering the doorman had died and the investigator was injured by a man approximately 1.7 ters tall, the specifics unknown.

It’s suspected the assailant was also injured, threatening the injured officer’s life, which was why Yi Roujing visited Huaixi County Hospital that day.

"Roujing, you’re too bold." Guo Xiangxiang was shocked to hear it involved a life, causing her face to pale, "So is that person the killer?"

"Not necessarily, there are accomplices." Yi Roujing said, "The details will only be known after the police investigation is complete."

"Why don’t you stay at my place tonight?" Yi Roujing asked Guo Xiangxiang.

"Can I?" Guo Xiangxiang’s eyes showed anticipation; she didn’t want to go ho nor stay in the dormitory with people she barely interacted with.

"Yes." Yi Roujing nodded firmly.

After completing the record, the police personally escorted them to Bright Alley. Ding Weihuo and Li Hongying were startled when seeing the police escort, and after Yi Roujing explained the situation, they felt deep sympathy for Guo Xiangxiang, quickly made her a bowl of malted milk and guided her to rest in a room with Anmin and Xingchen.

Xu Ancheng returned ho at ten in the evening, muddy all over with scratches on his hand and red marks on his body visible after taking off his clothes, which Yi Roujing noticed while fetching clean clothes.

"Does it hurt?" Yi Roujing asked.

"Nothing to worry about." Xu Ancheng chuckled, "We caught the person."

A gleam of joy flashed in Yi Roujing’s eyes, "That’s good, I’ll make you so noodles after your wash."

"Don’t rush, I’ll get it myself later." Xu Ancheng stopped her.

"Ancheng is back; I’ll make you a bowl of noodles, co eat later." Li Hongying woke up at the noise, dressed and ca out, asking quietly as she saw the light in Xu Ancheng and Yi Roujing’s room.

"Mom, I can..."

"I’ve already gotten up." Li Hongying said and headed to the kitchen.

"Is it the 1.75 ters tall one I ntioned?" Yi Roujing helps wipe Xu Ancheng’s back while asking.

"Yes, we found a few boys at the base you ntioned."

"Didn’t they say not to take children?" Yi Roujing was extrely surprised.

"They weren’t taken; the kids went voluntarily." Xu Ancheng said sternly, "Most of them are orphans, so even if they’re missing, no one cares."

"You’ve made a significant contribution this ti." Xu Ancheng said, turning to touch Yi Roujing’s head and teasing her nose, "Such a sharp nose."

Lu Ming and his wife are factory workers. This ti the food factory made a seasonal new product, osmanthus cake, with Lu Ming’s wife being selected among the batch.

Humans inevitably have selfish motives, the couple planned to secretly make so of the new cakes to sell on the black market for extra earnings, which isn’t unheard of before.
