Chapter 40: Disgusting Meng Jue
"Shen Yunxiu, the steel mill has received feedback from Comrade Shen Yunshu. She was deceived by you into giving her this job."

"Since it was stolen, it means it didn't belong to you originally, so you have to return it."

At this time, Zhou, the director of the steel plant, spoke up, "And..."

Secretary Zhou looked at Zhang Qi and said, "Director Zhang, Shen Yunxiu just claimed that the fire-fighting heroes were her parents. Is that true?"

"Yes." Zhang Qi said immediately, "All the staff in our department store know about this. Shen Yunxiu started working under this name."

Secretary Zhou nodded and said, "In this case, impersonating a martyr has been confirmed. We cannot let it go easily, otherwise anyone will be able to pretend to be a martyr and gain benefits from it."

Shen Yunshu: This week’s secretary spoke very well!

The people sent by Director Xiao are awesome!
Shen Yunshu felt that she had to translate the instruction manual as soon as possible and send it to Director Xiao.

Since Director Xiao was sincere, she couldn't delay any longer.

"Yes, I also agree with the punishment of the public security comrades." Zhang Qi said.

“Yes, we agree.”

"..."

The staff of the department store, and even those who came to buy things and join in the fun, had no objection to the police's punishment of Shen Yunxiu.

That was a fire-fighting hero who sacrificed his life.

This girl actually pretended to be someone else!
We must not let them off lightly and must punish them!
Otherwise, wouldn’t many people follow suit in the future?
"Comrade Shen Yunxiu, please come with us."

Just when the two policemen were about to take Shen Yunxiu away, a man suddenly rushed over and stood in front of Shen Yunxiu.

Shen Yunxiu, who was originally full of despair and anger, was suddenly stunned when he saw the person in front of him.

It’s Meng Jue!
He came out to protect me?
Ji Huainan was not surprised to see Meng Jue rushing out.

In fact, when they were in the cinema, Ji Huainan noticed that someone seemed to be following him and Shen Yunshu.

He also saw this man out of the corner of his eye, but didn't recognize him.

He initially suspected that this man was a spy, but quickly denied it.

Because this man's gaze was more focused on Shen Yunshu next to him, and the look in his eyes seemed unusual, as if he knew Shen Yunshu.

Therefore, Ji Huainan kept his troops on hold for the time being, wanting to know what this person was going to do by following them.

He had been thinking that after he sent Shen Yunshu home, if this man still followed him, he would pull him out and have a "good talk" with him. He never expected that he would rush out now, exposing himself and blocking Shen Yunxiu's way.

In fact, Ji Huainan guessed correctly. Meng Jue had been in the dark and had been following him since the cinema until he reached the department store.

He also saw the conflict they had with Shen Yunxiu just now.

However, he never came out until now, when the police were about to take Shen Yunxiu away. As Shen Yunxiu's husband, Meng Jue had to come out.

He stood in front of Shen Yunxiu and protected her behind him, but his eyes were always on Shen Yunshu.

There was longing, tenderness and affection in those eyes.

"Who are you? Are you trying to hinder us from enforcing the law?" The policeman's face looked very bad as he tried to take Shen Yunxiu away several times but was stopped.

"No, Public Security Comrade, I am Shen Yunxiu's husband."

"My father is the director of the food factory. He is good friends with Comrade Zhang Yuan from your bureau. You can tell me anything you have."

The two police officers looked at each other, then glanced at Ji Huainan out of the corner of their eyes, with no change in their expressions.

"We don't care whether your father is the director of a food factory, a textile factory, or any other factory. It has nothing to do with us. Comrade Shen Yunxiu pretended to be a martyr and took the job. We are enforcing the law and we are taking her away."

"As for the rest, let's talk about it later." In fact, they knew Zhang Yuan, he was one of their colleagues.

The relationship is neither good nor bad.

Under normal circumstances, they might give him some face for the sake of their colleagues.

but……

Standing next to them was Ji Huainan!
Ji Huainan, although today was the first time they met in person, they had seen his photo a few days ago.

Ji Huainan is the upcoming leader of their bureau and the incoming captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

That position is much higher than theirs, and he is their direct supervisor.

So, Zhang Yuan, a colleague with whom they have a neither-good-nor-bad relationship, and their direct supervisor who is about to take office.

It goes without saying whose side they will stand on.

Besides, Shen Yunxiu did break the law, and they were acting in accordance with the law, which was absolutely correct!
"Ajue..." Shen Yunxiu's eyes were red and filled with emotion.

She didn't know why Meng Jue suddenly appeared here, but since he was willing to rush out to protect her, Shen Yunxiu felt that Meng Jue was really a good man and she could rely on him.

She couldn't help but reach out and hold Meng Jue's hand.

Meng Jue, whose hand was held by Shen Yunxiu, was stunned and subconsciously looked at Shen Yunshu, but saw that there was no change in Shen Yunshu's expression, and a hint of hurt flashed in his eyes.

He wanted to pull Shen Yunxiu's hand away, but when he thought of her current situation, he held back.

He thought that Shen Yunxiu must be extremely scared at this moment.

So I want to hold his hand and seek support.

When Meng Jue saw that the police's approach didn't work, he knew that the problem was with Shen Yunshu.

He couldn't help but look at Shen Yunshu again, "Xiaoshu, I know that Xiuxiu was wrong in this matter, but since it's her first offense and she's your cousin, forgive her and give her a chance."

"I can return this job to you, and I can also help you pay the money back, but you have to ask the police not to arrest her, okay? After all, after all..."

"She's pregnant!"

Meng Jue uttered the last sentence with difficulty.

Although he knew that from the moment he and Shen Yunxiu got their marriage certificate, there was no possibility for him and Xiaoshu to be together anymore.

But he had kept the fact that Shen Yunxiu was pregnant a secret.

Because he didn't want Xiaoshu to know that he had betrayed her so early and got pregnant with another woman, even if he was set up.

But the child is indeed his.

He was afraid that Xiaoshu would hate him even more.

But now he really has no choice.

He couldn't bear to watch the pregnant Shen Yunxiu being taken away by the police, so he rushed out regardless of everything and told the story.

"Xiao Shu, I know that I was the one who let you down before. I betrayed our feelings and our agreement. If you are angry, just direct it at me."

"I can take anything."

"But Xiuxiu... She was also wrong, but she is a pregnant woman after all..."

"Stop, don't say anymore." Shen Yunshu raised her hand, signaling Meng Jue to shut up, otherwise she was afraid that if Meng Jue continued talking, she would vomit.
