The fragrance of medicine fills the countryside in 1990

Chapter 114 Chen Xue's forte, Qin Yu's powerful blow

There seemed to be a fire burning in Su Chenjin's eyes.

She stared at the person in front of her, a face that was familiar yet unfamiliar. She observed every subtle expression carefully and took it all in.

Su Chenjin said firmly in an unquestionable tone, "Are you here to pick up Chen Shanshan?"

Her voice was like cold stone, without a trace of warmth.

Su Chenjin pointed his finger at the woman in front of him, and every word he said was like a sharp arrow piercing her heart. "Chen Xue, do you think I can't see through your tricks? Do you think you can easily bail her out? I tell you, this is impossible!"

Chen Xue's face turned pale in an instant. She felt the powerful aura emanating from Su Chenjin, as if it was about to swallow her up.

She wanted to open her mouth to explain, but found that she had lost the ability to speak.

She could only stare at Su Chenjin. His handsome yet cold face looked even deeper and more determined under the light.

Chen Xue's heart suddenly became panicked, and her voice was filled with a bit of eagerness and anxiety that was hard to conceal, trying to pour out all the heavy doubts and anxieties.

"Let's not talk about my reputation for now. Shanshan is just a young child. She is now immersed in the campus of Jiangnan University, diligently absorbing the nectar of knowledge. Her family has endless high hopes for her, hoping that she can return home as soon as possible, find a satisfactory job with her own efforts and talents, and start a new chapter of her own life."

Chen Xue took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil, but her tone still couldn't hide her indignation and confusion. "However, you keep saying that Shanshan poisoned me. This unfounded accusation is simply jaw-dropping and unbelievable! I really can't imagine, let alone accept that Shanshan would do such a thing. She is a kind-hearted, innocent child. How could she hurt others?"

Chen Shanshan had just stepped out of the dim and depressing interrogation room. The door slowly closed behind her, as if separating two completely different worlds.

Her steps were a little heavy, but her eyes were firm. Sir Liu beside her, whose usual serious expression looked even more solemn and profound.

The lights in the interrogation room were dim and cold. Every word seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, bringing a bone-chilling chill.

Although she was now far away from that depressing space, Chen Shanshan's mood was still unable to completely escape from that tense atmosphere.

Her heartbeat seemed to still be beating in the same rhythm as during the interrogation, and every beat reminded her that what she had just experienced was not a dream.

Just then, a soft and familiar voice came into her ears.

She looked up and saw her sister Chen Xue standing not far away, with a pair of bright eyes revealing a bit of sharpness.

In the dim light, Chen Shanshan's eyes, filled with endless grievances and anger, became moist in an instant.

She grasped the corner of Chen Xue's clothes tightly, her fingertips sinking deeply into the fabric, as if in this dark night, she only had her sister as a lifeline to rely on.

Her voice, originally clear and pleasant, now contained a hint of trembling and an unconcealable sense of grievance, like the rustling sound of leaves blown by the cold wind.

"Sister," she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but her voice still trembled a little, "They are really too much. Gu Xinliang and Su Chenjin are just two scoundrels. I didn't do anything, but they targeted me everywhere, as if I had done something to offend them. I really don't understand why they treat me like this."

As Chen Xue listened to her sister's story, an indescribable anger surged in her heart.

She patted the back of Chen Shanshan's hand gently, trying to give her some comfort.

She knew that her sister had been a well-behaved and sensible child since she was young, and rarely lost control of her emotions like this.

But this time, it was obvious that what those two people did was too much.

"Shanshan, don't cry." Chen Xue said softly, "We haven't done anything wrong, there's no need to be afraid of them. If they dare to bully you again, I will never let them go."

Under the dim light, Sir Liu coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the room.

His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes revealed a hint of seriousness, as if he was trying to see through Chen Shanshan.

He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful: "Ms. Chen, I hope you can be more careful with your words in the future."

Chen Shanshan's heart tightened when she heard this.

She originally thought that her plan was flawless, but she didn't expect that it would be discovered by Sir Liu so quickly.

She tried to stay calm and tried to read more information from the other person's eyes.

Sir Liu continued, "Regarding whether you poisoned someone, our investigation has made new progress."

Although his words were calm, they revealed an unquestionable sense of authority that Chen Shanshan could not ignore.

Chen Shanshan felt a chill coming over her and she knew she had nowhere to escape.

She tried to hide her inner panic with a smile, but Sir Liu remained unmoved and continued to look at her with his sharp eyes.

"We have found solid evidence that it was you who poisoned me."

There was an unquestionable firmness in Xiao Liu's tone, which made Chen Shanshan feel desperate.

She knew that she had been completely exposed and could no longer hide it.

Chen Shanshan's face instantly turned as pale and lifeless as snow in winter.

Her eyes were full of embarrassment and panic, as if she was swept away by the sudden storm and had nowhere to hide.

She subconsciously looked at Chen Xue who was sitting next to her, seeking some comfort or support.

Chen Xue's originally calm face also changed at this moment. Her complexion darkened, as if covered with a layer of gloom.

Her eyes became cold and sharp, like two shining swords, piercing straight into people's hearts.

She turned her head slightly and winked at the lawyer standing next to her. It was an almost imperceptible subtle movement, but it was full of tacit understanding and trust.

The lawyer immediately understood and nodded slightly, indicating that he understood Chen Xue's intention.

He stood up, straightened his suit, and turned to Officer Xiao Liu who was sitting opposite him.

His tone was polite but firm, as if announcing an impending contest: "Officer Liu, may I have a word with you? We have something to discuss in private."

A hint of doubt flashed across Officer Liu's originally serious face, but when he saw the lawyer's unquestionable eyes and Chen Xue's cold gaze, he immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

He nodded and motioned for the lawyer to follow him to the next room.

Su Chenjin's reaction was as quick as lightning. There was a determination in her eyes, like an insurmountable barrier.

Before anyone could react, she had already rushed forward and nimbly stood in front of Officer Liu.

Her figure is upright, like a pine tree standing in the wind and rain, giving people an incomparable sense of security.

"Oh, officer, this is not a shady operation!"

There was an unquestionable firmness in Su Chenjin's tone, like a surging torrent that could not be ignored.

Her eyes were fixed on Officer Xiao Liu.

"The evidence of Chen Shanshan's poisoning is already irrefutable. She cannot afford to quibble or deny it!"

Su Chenjin continued speaking, and every word he said was as hard as iron and stone, and it spoke loudly.

Her voice echoed in the air, irresistible.

Chen Xue's face suddenly became as dark and heavy as the cloudy sky.

There was a cold light flashing in her eyes, like two sharp daggers, piercing the other's heart.

She stared at Su Chenjin closely, feeling very unhappy and angry.

"Little girl," Chen Xue's voice was low and powerful, like the cold wind blowing from an ice cellar, with a biting chill, "You have to understand that there are no accusations without reason in this world. Every word you say needs to be supported by sufficient evidence. If you are just making up stories and maliciously slandering my Shanshan, then I promise you that you will pay a heavy price for it."

Her words were full of threats and warnings, like a beast about to pounce on its prey, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

Under Su Chenjin's gaze, she felt as if an invisible force was pressing on her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe.

However, Chen Xue did not give up. She clenched her fists, slowly stood up, and said in a cold and firm tone: "Don't think that just because you are young, you can do whatever you want here and trample on the dignity of others. This world has rules, and you can't do whatever you want. No one can hurt others for no reason and get away with it, no matter who you are or how old you are."

Her words were like a sharp sword, piercing the depths of the other person's soul. The girl, who was originally still gloating, lowered her head involuntarily at this moment, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

Chen Xue took a deep breath and continued, "If you really have any dissatisfaction or misunderstanding, please bring out the evidence and resolve it with me face to face. We can sit down and have a good talk and make things clear. However, if you are just making trouble for no reason and want to satisfy your vanity by hurting others, then don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Su Chenjin raised his head slightly, his bright eyes flashing with sharp light, seeing through all hypocrisy and cunning.

Sir Liu, who was standing opposite her, felt an invisible pressure coming towards him, which made him straighten his back involuntarily.

He was secretly surprised that Su Chenjin, who was usually gentle and polite, could have such a fierce side.

Su Chenjin took a deep breath and said firmly, "Sir Liu, you feel it too, right? The Chen sisters' behavior and words reveal an obvious threat. You heard every word they said just now. Those words are irrational and unreasonable to the extreme, but they pretend to be well-founded, as if they are the victims and I am the one who should feel guilty. This attitude is simply unbearable."

Sir Liu nodded, feeling a surge of indignation in his heart.

He had long seen through the ill intentions of the Chen sisters, but he did not expect that they would threaten Su Chenjin so blatantly.

Su Chenjin continued, "I think we don't need to waste any more time talking to them. These people only know how to solve problems with brute force and threats, and they are not reasonable at all. Instead of getting entangled with them here, it is better to go directly to the judicial process and let the law judge."

She paused, as if waiting for a response, or as if looking for a more appropriate supplement to her words.

Then, she slowly turned her gaze to Director Gu next to her, her bright eyes flashing with determination, as if she was expecting something.

Director Gu felt her gaze, slowly raised his head and looked at her.

There was a hint of calmness and composure on his face. No matter what situation he faced, he could remain calm and rational.

He frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about her question, and seemed to be weighing various possible outcomes.

"Director Gu, what do you think?" Su Chenjin spoke again, his voice revealing an unquestionable firmness.

There was a hint of questioning on her face, but more of it was expectation and trust.

She believed that Director Gu could give a wise and decisive answer to lead them out of their current predicament.

Director Gu was silent for a moment, seemingly thinking about the best way to respond.

He took a deep breath, then said slowly: "Yes, I think we should take a more direct approach to this matter."

Gu Xinliang, the usually gentle and elegant expert, frowned at this moment. He nodded slightly, as if he was thinking deeply about every detail of the case, and his face was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

"The circumstances of Chen Shanshan's case are extremely serious and rare." His voice was low and powerful, and every word carried a weight that could not be ignored.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound, as if to emphasize the seriousness of the case.

"If such behavior can be granted bail, it is undoubtedly a great contempt and trampling of the law."

His voice gradually rose, his tone filled with dissatisfaction and anger at the law being disregarded.

He stood up, walked to the window, looked into the distance, and tried to find support for justice.

"We must resolutely uphold the dignity and fairness of the law and not let criminals go unpunished."

He turned around, his eyes firm and powerful, as if he wanted to convey this belief to everyone present.

His voice is full of respect for the law and commitment to justice, which can't help but move people.

"We must not allow the balance of justice in society to be unbalanced." His words were like a loud hammer, striking everyone's heart.

The trial of every case is related to social justice and stability, and there must be no slackness or negligence.

Chen Xue's heart instantly became like a volcano that had been ignited. A strong sense of dissatisfaction and anger surged out like a tide, almost drowning her.

She is a straightforward woman who acts decisively and never drags her feet.

At this moment, the rage in her heart was burning fiercely, seeming to set the whole world on fire.

She pulled hard and Gu Xinliang's sleeve was firmly grasped in her hand.

Her movements were swift and powerful, like the ferocity of a cheetah hunting.

Gu Xinliang was startled by her sudden action. He turned around and saw Chen Xue staring at him angrily.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xue sat down on the ground, holding her stomach tightly with both hands, as if she had suffered great injustice.

She shouted loudly: "The old professor beat a pregnant woman!" Her voice echoed in the empty corridor, full of grievance and anger.

People around stopped and looked over here curiously.

People from the surrounding area began to gather together, wanting to find out what this sudden excitement was all about.

The originally spacious space suddenly became crowded.

Chen Xue was not afraid at all. She raised her head and looked directly at the onlookers. Her voice was like a sharp sword, pointing straight at people's hearts.

She said: "Everyone, please give us your judgment! How could a respected old professor do such a thing?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd around her exploded.

Discussions and exclamations rose and fell one after another, like surging waves.

Some people were whispering and talking to each other, as if discussing what Gu Xinliang had done; some were shocked and couldn't believe their ears; others were indignant and stood up for Chen Xue.

Chen Xue did not back down. She continued to talk, explaining the whole story one by one.

Although her voice was not loud, it was full of power and seemed to have a kind of magic that made it impossible to ignore her presence.

Gu Xinliang stood aside, looking embarrassed, not knowing what to do.

Chen Xue's aggressiveness really shocked Xiao Liu Sir so much that his jaw dropped.

The cigarette in his hand was originally raised to his lips, but under this sudden shock, he silently put it back into the cigarette box.

Just as Sir Liu was about to step forward, Su Chenjin had already quickly and nimbly helped Chen Xue up.

She stared into her eyes, with a hint of severity and concern in her voice: "Chen Xue, you have to understand that you are not just living for yourself now. There is an innocent life in your belly. If you don't care about this life, then even if the gods come down to earth, they can't save you!"

Chen Xue was so shocked by his words that she was speechless. Su Chenjin's tone became more resolute: "We all see Director Gu's attitude towards you clearly. Who else do you want to push the responsibility on? Are you really willing to let this innocent life be harmed because of your willfulness?"

Chen Xue's voice echoed in the silent air, carrying with it a hint of anger and dissatisfaction that was difficult to conceal, like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time finally erupting.

She straightened her back, and her originally gentle figure now seemed unusually strong, like a pine or cypress that had been baptized by wind and rain, standing proudly.

She looked straight at the other person, and every word she said was like a carefully sharpened blade, pointing directly to the other person's heart. "Okay, did you really not see it?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in her voice; the other party's disregard had exceeded her bottom line.

Her words were like boiling lava, burning in the air and impossible to ignore.

"Didn't you see him push me to the ground?" Her voice gradually rose, with strong emotional fluctuations, as if she wanted to pour out all her anger.

Her body trembled slightly, a mixture of anger and disappointment that made it impossible for her to remain calm.

"Are your eyes just for show?" she continued to question, with a strong sense of disappointment in her voice.

She seemed unable to believe that the other party would be so indifferent to her situation, and this disregard made her feel heartbroken.

"Or do you really choose to turn a blind eye?" Her voice gradually turned low, carrying a deep sadness.

Her words were like cold arrows, shooting into the other person's heart, making it impossible for the other person to avoid them.

Although her words were not fancy, they were full of power, like a rainstorm in a strong wind, fierce and direct.

Her presence became an invisible pressure, making it impossible to ignore her anger and determination.

Gu Xinliang frowned, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.

With a hint of obvious impatience in his tone, he said to Chen Xue who was standing in front of him: "Chen Xue, why are you being so unreasonable?"

His voice was low and powerful, as if he wanted to calm Chen Xue down through the power of his words.

When Chen Xue heard this, an angry look immediately appeared on her face.

She widened her eyes and stared at Gu Xinliang, trying to find any sign of guilt or regret on his face.

However, she only saw Gu Xinliang's tired and indifferent eyes.

Gu Xinliang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He knew that this dispute had been going on for too long, and each time it made their relationship more strained.

He didn't want to go on like this, but he didn't know how to end this endless quarrel.

"Chen Xue, can we calm down a little?" Gu Xinliang's tone was pleading, "I know there are a lot of problems between us, but making trouble like this won't solve anything."

Chen Xue sneered and said, "Being unreasonable? Do you think I am being unreasonable? I just want a clear answer."

Chen Xue's originally calm face suddenly became like the surface of a lake hit by a storm, with waves rising suddenly.

Her face was so gloomy as if dark clouds were pressing down on her head, blocking out all the sunlight and leaving only darkness and dullness.

There was a cold light flashing in her eyes, like two sharp swords, shooting straight at Xiao Liu Sir.

Sir Liu looked resolute and resolute, holding the latest evidence report in his hand. The report seemed as heavy as a thousand-pound boulder, carrying his duties and mission as a policeman.

With an unquestionable attitude, he threw the report in front of Chen Xue. The paper collided with the table, making a harsh sound, as if declaring war on Chen Xue.

"Chen Shanshan cannot be released on bail. I hope you can remember this clearly." Sir Liu's tone was firm and resolute. Every word was like a heart of stone, hitting Chen Xue's heart mercilessly.

His eyes were like two sharp blades, piercing deep into Chen Xue's soul, leaving her unable to avoid or refute.

Chen Xue was shocked by what Xiao Liu Sir said. She stood there in a daze, speechless for a moment.

She looked at the evidence report thrown in front of her, and an indescribable anger and unwillingness surged in her heart.

She clenched her teeth, trying to suppress her anger. "Why do you say that? What evidence do you have to prove that my sister cannot be released on bail?"

Chen Xue finally couldn't help but explode. Her voice was sharp and piercing, venting all her anger.

Although Chen Xue is well aware of the fragility and needs of pregnant women, she knows that every mother who is about to welcome a new life should be treated gently and protected in a calm harbor.

However, on this particular issue, her heart was as hard as steel, and she did not waver or give in at all.

She knows very well that the law is a fair scale that will not be skewed by personal likes and dislikes, nor will its firm stance be shaken by anyone's emotional appeals.

This evidence report, like a cold boulder, weighed heavily on Chen Xue's heart.

Her fingers gently slid across the edge of the report, and the touch of the paper made her feel inexplicably heavy.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm the waves in her heart, and then slowly opened the report.

As the report unfolded, a complex emotion flashed across Chen Xue's eyes.

It was a mixture of doubt, determination, helplessness, and resolution.

She read every detail in the report word by word, and those cold words stirred up a storm in her heart.

She knew that the truth revealed in this report might change the fate of many people and might also cause an uproar.

Chen Xue's heart seemed to have been baptized by a violent storm, filled with deep unwillingness and stubborn stubbornness.

There was a determined light in her eyes, which seemed to burn away all the difficulties.

She took a deep breath and felt the dullness and heaviness in her chest, but more of it was an indescribable expectation and determination.

She resolutely embarked on the road leading to the Hou family. She had only one thought in her mind, which was to find the person who could change her destiny, the hope that could make her stand up again.

However, when Chen Xue finally arrived at the towering gate of the Hou family, a strong sense of uneasiness suddenly surged in her heart.

She could feel that what was hidden behind this door might not be what she expected.

Sure enough, when she stepped over the threshold, she was stunned by the shocking news.

Qin Yu, who had once been at loggerheads with her, had now unexpectedly become the head of the Qin family and was firmly sitting on the throne of power.

Chen Xue's face turned pale in an instant, she couldn't believe her ears.

She once thought that Qin Yu was just a small person like her, with no status in the family.

She once thought that as long as she worked hard, she would be able to surpass her one day and become the new master of the Hou family.

However, reality gave her a cruel blow.

What made Chen Xue even more unbelievable was that the Hou family actually came to visit in person just to welcome the new head of the Qin family.

As the niece-in-law of Hou Lao, Qin Yu's status in the Hou family has risen rapidly and she has become the focus of everyone's attention.

Chen Xue stood in front of the door of the Hou family villa, the shock in her heart rolling like waves.

She had never thought that a prominent family like the Hou family would personally visit and give such grand courtesy to welcome a new head of the Qin family.

Qin Yu, the woman who was once insignificant in her eyes, has now become a guest of honor in the Hou family.

Chen Xue hurriedly crossed the garden and came to the hall of the villa.

At first glance, Qin Yu was seen sitting in the center of the hall, her luxurious clothes making her look like an empress.

The gorgeous skirt was like a blooming flower, emitting dazzling light; the exquisite accessories were sparkling with brilliant brilliance, as if telling of Qin Yu's current noble status.

Qin Yu raised his head slightly and his eyes fell on Chen Xue.

There was a light of victory in her eyes, and that light was like a sharp sword, piercing Chen Xue's heart.

Chen Xue felt a strong sense of oppression, as if she had become insignificant under this light.

Qin Yu looked down at Chen Xue with a condescending attitude, with a smug smile on his lips. That smile seemed to say, "Look, this is the gap between you and me. You used to think you were so great, but now? I have become a guest of honor in the Hou family, and you can only stand here and look up at me."

A surge of unwilling anger welled up in Chen Xue's heart.

She bit her lower lip tightly, trying not to let her emotions show.

She knew that she couldn't lose her composure here and couldn't let Qin Yu see her weakness.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner turmoil.

Then she raised her head and met Qin Yu's gaze.

There was a firm light in her eyes, trying to tell Qin Yu: "Even if you are in a high position now, I will not give in easily. I will continue to work hard, and one day, I will surpass you and become a better person than you."

Chen Xue walked hurriedly, almost taking two steps at a time. She was full of excitement and walked quickly in front of Qin Yu.

Her eyes were firm and fervent, as if they wanted to penetrate Qin Yu's heart and explore his truest thoughts.

She gently stroked her belly, where a new life was growing. It was the fruit of her and Mr. Hou, and also her hope and pride for the future.

"I am now pregnant with Elder Hou's child," Chen Xue's voice was a little trembling, but more determined and proud, "This child will be his first child. He will continue the bloodline of the Hou family and carry the expectations and blessings of all of us."

When Qin Yu heard this, his face turned pale instantly.

She widened her eyes and looked at Chen Xue's bulging belly, feeling an indescribable emotion in her heart.

She quickly adjusted her breathing and tried to calm herself down.

At this time, there must not be any loss of composure or panic.

Qin Yu took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calm and firm: "Chen Xue, are you really sure? Is this child really Mr. Hou's?"

She stared at Chen Xue, trying to find the answer from her eyes.

Chen Xue nodded, her eyes full of determination and trust: "Yes, I am sure. This child is Mr. Hou's. He will be a healthy and smart child, and he will be the pride of the Hou family."
