Chapter 346: Huayuan (16)
"So you made your way into She to find out about Yuming and Miss. Nuwa’s disappearance?" Jia surmised.
Yong threw her an acute stare. "Huayuan takes care of its own problems. Especially when we figured the cops were useless."
"Why do you say that?"
She sneered. "On top of the cops treating all my sisters as some sex slaves and demeaning them at every chance they got, they never bothered with Aunt Nuwa’s disappearance years ago. When Long Sicong didn’t give Aunt Ruolan any face, she did try to knock on the cops’ doors for help. Among the pile of dirt and trash, only one decent officer actually listened to her."
She pressed her lips. "I suppose he couldn’t find out about her..."
She scoffed. "More than unable to find Aunt Nuwa, his own officers betrayed him. He was falsely accused of drugs and thrown into jail - only because he was poking his nose into her disappearance."
Which told Jia that Nuwa’s disappearance was indeed most probably connected to a political family as the tea shop owner believed. They had somebody working in the police force licking their feet and with one command from them, that officer managed to malign that good officer.
Mingshen lazily said, "Obviously. Politicians like to show a very clean image of themselves in front of the public. Doesn’t matter if they are knee deep in muddy waters behind their eyes."
Bojing cried. "Th-that’s horrible...Is he...s-still in jail?"
Jia noticed Yong’s slightly faraway and glassy gaze.
"Yes," her trembling fingers curled into a fist. "They will never let him out because they know that he will never drop the case. Though he is the one in jail, it is not only him who is suffering."
