1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!

The next morning, Wen Li first went for a walk around the village.

Sure enough, everyone was talking about Jiang Chen being released. Many people had planned to go to the commune to watch the parade today, but since everyone was out, there was no excitement to see.

Jiang Chen and Shu Yun were having an affair, and many villagers witnessed it with their own eyes. They were definitely not being wronged. The fact that they were able to get out of there after all this shows that everyone was talking about Shu Yun's family background.

After listening for a while, Wen Li went to Jiang Yue'er's house again, but didn't see Jiang Chen himself. She then rode her bicycle directly to the commune.

Gu Huai had been waiting for a long time, and he wasn't surprised at all when Wen Li arrived.

"So early?"

Wen Li sat down and warmed her hands over the charcoal brazier. Her hands finally felt warmer. "Didn't you already know I'd come?"

"Yes, that's why I brewed tea early and waited for you!" Gu Huai poured a cup of tea and handed it to Wen Li. "Pre-Qingming Longjing, have a taste!"

Wen Li finished her drink like a cow chewing on a peony, making Gu Huai's eyebrows almost twist into caterpillars.

"You've utterly wasted the fine tea I went through so much trouble to get!"

"Sorry, I'm just an ordinary person; I only like drinking milk tea!"

"milk tea?"

"Hehe, it's just boiling tea leaves in milk and adding a little sugar!"

Gu Huai felt Wen Li was wasting such a precious resource. "Next time you come, just drink my old tea!"

Wen Li waved her hand dismissively, "Stop keeping me in suspense. How did Shu Yun and Jiang Chen get released? Who saved them?"

"It's Uncle Shuyun!"

"Didn't the Shu family publish a notice in the newspaper severing ties with their relatives?" Wen Li looked at Gu Huai in surprise.

"That's what I find strange. The Shu family is extremely reluctant to mention her, yet this is the very person that Shu Yun's uncles and elders are so wary of!"

"Does Shu Yun have dirt on them?"

Gu Huai nodded and told Wen Li about Director Fan's visit to him last night and the tone of Shu Yun's voice on the phone.

"I initially thought it was Shu Yun, the daughter of the Shu family, but those who inquired said it was quite the opposite; they were all very reluctant to mention her!"

Wen Li tapped her fingers lightly on the table. According to Gu Huai, Shu Yun was not only unloved at home, but even the Shu family disliked her.

What incredible leverage does Shu Yun possess that would make the Shu family disregard their own careers to help Jiang Chen?

They can even extend their reach into Beijing?

This is no small matter. The Shu family doesn't have many connections in the commune, so they will definitely have to pay a heavy price to rescue Shu Yun and Jiang Chen.

It is clear that the evidence Shu Yun holds could potentially destroy the entire Shu family.

"Director Fan thinks Shu Yun seems to have some mental issues!"

Wen Li already knew this, and she looked at Gu Huai teasingly, "Don't tell me you're not going to make a move at all?"

Gu Huai picked up his teacup and took a small sip. "What do you think?"

The two exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

"I'm curious, remember to tell me what that leverage you have later?"

"Let's find out first!"

After leaving the black market, Wen Li thought for a moment and wrote a letter to Qin Hai.

The Shu family is not some unknown family in Taipei. Uncle Shu Yun sits in the second most important position in Taipei. Since they have fallen out, of course he will kick them while they're down.

To get rid of Shu Yun, the only way is to eliminate all her backers and completely crush her.

With Shu Yun's backing gone, Jiang Chen can't get going either!

As for whether Qin Hai would intervene, Wen Li didn't care.

If he intervenes, Gu Huai might have an easier time. If he doesn't intervene, it won't matter either. Gu Huai has been running the black market for so many years and knows countless people from all walks of life. I believe he can find out the truth soon.

After sending the letter, Wen Li wrote another letter to her family and Lu Zechuan.

It was already noon when she finished writing the letter. After having lunch at the state-run restaurant, she slowly rode her bicycle back home.

After the 20th day of the first lunar month, the weather became warmer, with daytime temperatures reaching around four or five degrees Celsius, while nighttime temperatures remained below minus ten or twenty degrees Celsius.

People can go out and stroll around during the day when they have nothing to do, instead of staying cooped up at home all the time.

After Jiang Chen returned, he stayed at home and didn't go out. Jiang Yue'er also stayed at home to take care of the child, and Wen Li was happy to be at ease.

After returning from outside, Zhou Yu quietly approached Wen Li and said, "Recently, Shu Yun has been frequently coming to the foot of the back mountain to keep an eye on the direction of the educated youth compound!"

"Furthermore, I feel like Qi Yang is also keeping an eye on your movements!"

Wen Li raised an eyebrow; she had already noticed that Qi Yang was staring at her.

She just hadn't been out lately, and even when she did go out, she would only walk around the village, so she didn't know that Shu Yun was watching her.

"Did Xie Chang'an discover it?"

Now that no one goes to the back mountain, only Xie Chang'an, who lives closest to the foot of the mountain, knows about it.

"Hmm, a few times when you went out, Qi Yang just happened to come out of the house too. It's such a coincidence!"

If Zhou Yu could see it, Wen Li certainly knew it too.

She just couldn't understand how Qi Yang and Shu Yun had gotten involved together.

How do they plan to deal with themselves?

"Let's pretend we don't know and observe first!"

For the next few days, Wen Li still didn't go out. Occasionally, when she wanted to go out for a walk, she would go to Aunt Wang's and Aunt Zhang's houses to chat about gossip.

Lately, no one can go out, and there's nothing new happening in the village. The gossip is repeated over and over again, and Wenli can recite it by heart.

After walking around for a while, she was about to go back when Jiang Laosan followed behind her.

Wen Li turned to look at Jiang Laosan, who pointed towards the foot of the mountain.

She turned around and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

After several months of recuperation, Jiang Laosan's health had improved, but he was still severely weakened and looked somewhat frail.

"Did you need something from me?"

Jiang Laosan remained silent for a while, seemingly thinking about what to say. Wen Li did not urge him and waited quietly.

"Jiang Yue'er and Jiang Chen want to use Shu Yun to harm you!"

Wen Li frowned. She knew that Shu Yunlai was waiting at the foot of the mountain, so she wasn't surprised.

Seeing that Wen Li showed no surprise, Jiang Laosan knew that with her intelligence, she must have already figured it out.

"That day, when I went to deliver something to Jiang Yue'er, I overheard her saying that Shu Yun might have a mental illness and be extremely dangerous!"

This was the first time Jiang Laosan had ever heard the term "mental illness," but based on Jiang Yue'er's words, he deduced that Jiang Yue'er probably meant that Shu Yun was crazy.

Wen Li's lips curled up. Jiang Yue'er's description was quite apt. Wasn't Shu Yun extremely lethal?

She had also wondered if Shu Yun was mentally ill, but Shu Yun didn't seem to hurt anyone usually, and many mentally ill patients had experienced major trauma or had a genetic condition, so she didn't think about it that way.

I just felt that Shu Yun might be the legendary "yandere".

Since Jiang Yue'er said that Shu Yun is mentally ill, there must be some basis for it.

So here's the question: Shu Yun comes from a wealthy family and there are no mentally ill people in her family, so what kind of trauma did she suffer to become like this?

Wen Li had a gut feeling that this matter must be related to the incriminating evidence she had against her!

"I understand, thank you!"

"Also, Jiang Yue'er mentioned something!"
