The male supporting character was actually myself.

Zhao Limei thought about how her supervisor was giving her evasive answers and wondered if Ye Ruoyi was having an affair with a deliveryman, and since her supervisor was handsome and had some money and power.

With ulterior motives in mind, everything seemed wrong to Zhao Limei, and she grew increasingly angry. She had worked diligently at the company for so many years, yet her salary wasn't even as high as that of a young girl who made dirty money using her looks.

Just as the topic was trending online, she filmed a video and spread rumors that Ye Ruoyi had an affair with her supervisor.

"At first, she was indignant when I asked, thinking she was just exposing a dirty secret and didn't think she was wrong at all. Until she saw Ye Ruoyi's pay slip provided by the financial department, she's now crying over there..."

"It was Zhao Limei who tipped off the supervisor's wife about going to 'beat up the mistress'!"

"What kind of nonsense is this? I'm amazed by these people's thought processes. How can they make up anything? It's really like starting with a picture and then making up the rest. And yet there's a bunch of brainless people on the internet who just believe whatever they hear and blindly follow along. It's utterly shocking!"

"This is mind-blowing?" The older police officer, who had been silent until now, took a sip of his goji berry tea and said quietly, "You guys are still young. This is nothing. Once you've worked in our station longer, you'll know how magical this world is."

The disputes I personally handled were far more outrageous.

It caused quite a stir in our area a few years ago! Thank goodness there was no internet back then, otherwise, who knows how much of a sensation it would have been. Ask any of the older folks now, they'll all know!

The story goes that a man surnamed Wang lost his wife and had a seven or eight-year-old son. His family was poor, and the neighbors all thought he would never be able to find a second wife.

Hey, I didn't expect that in less than half a year, he actually found an ordinary-looking, big, strong woman and remarried.

People say stepmothers are wicked, but this man was overjoyed after getting married because his second wife treated him and his son incredibly well! The little boy was initially reluctant, but his stepmother said, "I'm not here to replace your mother. You don't have to call me 'Mom,' we can just be good friends."

At first, the man was worried that his stepmother might have ulterior motives, but after secretly observing her for a while, he discovered that this woman was genuinely good to his son without any reservations. Men, you know, are usually careless and not good at managing children, but since his stepmother came, the house has been kept clean and tidy, and the child is no longer like a wild child left unattended…”

The group looked at each other in bewilderment. How could such a good stepmother be so magical?

The old police officer took a sip of tea and continued, "With the family settled down, the man felt more at ease and worked even harder outside, and the family's financial situation improved dramatically. About seven or eight years later, the woman got pregnant and gave birth to another son. The man surnamed Wang was worried that his eldest son would be unhappy, so he went out of his way to compensate him."

He was mistaken; his eldest son adored the newborn baby.

The man bought a car and a house, and put all his savings in his wife's name to reassure her. It seemed like the family of four was living a happy life. Hey, I bet none of you would guess what happened next.

"Oh no, this family with two sons is bound to fight over the inheritance. Could the older son secretly kill the younger one? The kind who puts on a good show but does something underhanded!"

"They've been married for so many years before having a child, did the woman cheat on him?"

"They've got the house, the car, and the money. Could it be that the woman turned around and dumped the man?"

…………

A group of young colleagues guessed many different endings. Even the fluffy little dumpling who came to supervise the progress was wagging its big, fluffy tail and silently speculating about the next episode. According to typical melodramatic plots, this would usually end with the family being destroyed and people dying, but no one knew which one it would be.

Did the eldest son really not like it and kill the younger son?

"Hey, what Xiao Huang said is a bit close." The old policeman smiled and waved his hand, "The man was indeed kicked out, but not by the woman, but by his eldest son."

Because, you see, the child the woman gave birth to is his eldest son's. In other words, his wife gave him a grandson!

Fluffy dumpling: !!(o'?'o)?o????

Humans are terrifying!

Are you sure this is real and not just a scene from a movie?

The other officers were clearly also shocked by the sudden turn, their faces showing disbelief.

"It wasn't until he was kicked out of the house with nothing that the man finally understood. After the woman married into the family, she took advantage of the fact that stepmothers are also mothers, bathing and scrubbing her son, making his bed, and tidying his clothes. They were very close, and he was so happy that he thought he had married a good wife who genuinely helped him raise his son."

Who knew that she had been raising a younger husband for herself since she was a child!

While the man was out working hard, the woman brainwashed their child from a young age, distorting his values. Whenever he wasn't home, the two of them lived together. The child was born when their eldest son was sixteen. They waited until he was twenty, able to work and support the family, before kicking the old man out and going off to live a warm life with his 'wife' and son!

"Oh my god! Is that even possible? I've heard of stepfathers preying on little girls, but I never imagined a stepmother would do the same to a little boy..."

"Human nature is treacherous; both boys and girls must learn to protect themselves!"

"Tsk tsk, even if a seven or eight-year-old boy has been brainwashed since childhood and his values ​​are distorted, doesn't he have any aesthetic sense to compare between a pretty little girl and a woman who is almost fifty?"

"I've heard of a condition called gerontophilia!"

"Perhaps it's due to a lack of maternal love, much like that emperor..."

The old police officer clicked his tongue and said slowly, "This matter was originally kept very secret. After all, on the surface, the family of four seemed to have no conflicts and was doing well. The man was working outside to earn money; the eldest son was very grateful and treated his stepmother and 'brother' extremely well."

Wow, who knew there was this connection involved?

The reason it was exposed was because the man got increasingly angry after being kicked out of the game, so he called the police and accused his wife of having sex with a minor.

Wow! At the time, it caused quite a stir and everyone knew about it, but when they got to the police station, the person involved denied it outright and instead accused the man of wanting to abandon his wife and children to marry a concubine.

His eldest son, in particular, is even more impressive than a movie star.

He tearfully recounted how difficult it was for his stepmother in his family. Now that his younger brother has just started kindergarten and the family is rich, his father is having affairs and wants to kick him, his stepmother, and his brother out to marry a younger woman.

Back then, regulations were very strict, and blood tests done by oneself had no legal validity.

The eldest son resolutely refused to undergo a paternity test; the woman simply moved out with her younger son and filed for divorce. The house and car purchased years ago were marital property, and all were registered in the woman's name alone; she also controlled all the savings.

When filing for divorce and dividing property, the woman and her two children are entitled to three-quarters of the assets.

Wow, after carefully calculating the accounts, the man realized that he had been working for nothing all these years.

He had very little of his property left and had to pay child support in a lump sum; the son he had raised with great difficulty cheated on him; he lost his home, his child, and all his reputation; he wanted to take action, but he couldn't bring himself to do it to his own son; in a fit of anger, he committed suicide by drinking poison.

Then the eldest son, under the guise of taking care of his stepmother and younger brother, sold the house and moved to another city with his family of three. They should be living quite comfortably with all that money.

"Holy crap! This... is unbelievable!"

"Upon comparison, I realized that the bizarre things I had heard about were nothing compared to the truly bizarre ones."

Last year, I handled a dispute that required police intervention. The couple was penniless when they were young. After having two children, a son and a daughter, they felt that they couldn't let their children suffer, so they went into business and worked day and night.

What if a couple works together to build their career, but there's no one to take care of their child?

They decided to hire the best nanny at a high salary to take care of their two children. At the time, the nanny was paid much more than an ordinary worker! The nanny, receiving a high salary, did her best and took excellent care of the two children.

The results of it?

The couple worked themselves to the bone to earn enough money to support their two children as they grew up in luxury, went to university, and studied abroad. After they returned, they used their connections to arrange jobs for them and bought them villas and cars.

The two children are doing well in their studies, and with the financial and social connections that their parents have built up, their lives are getting better and better.

Who knew that when the couple got old and needed to retire, their children said they had no feelings for them and just threw them into a nursing home without even looking at them. Instead, they took in their caregiver and treated her like their own mother, saying that the warmth they felt when they were young came from the caregiver.

So, all the effort the elderly couple put into providing them with material conditions is considered their duty of care, and nothing else matters? Meanwhile, the highly paid caregiver is supporting two retirement machines for herself while working.

The old couple cried so much back then...tsk tsk tsk, people are really complicated.

If you don't have money, your children will complain that you can't even support yourself, so why did you bring them into this world to suffer?

How many born-to-be rich kids are there?

If you want to be rich, you have to work hard and earn it yourself. Where do you find the time and energy to devote to raising children?

As a result, they grew up spending your money and eating your food, and now that they're independent, they say they have no feelings for you and that it's none of anyone else's business who they can support with their own money.

Sending parents to a nursing home isn't illegal, so all the fuss and commotion ultimately came to nothing.

Fortunately, the elderly couple did not distribute all their assets. Seeing that they could not win back their children's hearts, they could only spend their own money to make their later years more comfortable.

Having money in hand at least makes things less miserable, better than those who are still alive and give away their money and end up with nothing. But how painful it must be for someone to work hard their whole life only to benefit their nanny!

They scrimp and save on food and clothing, working hard and enduring hardship, while the nannies live in expensive houses, eat the same nutritious meals as the children, receive high salaries, enjoy family warmth, and in their old age, they have two obedient, filial, and capable children who can earn money for them.

"I've heard about this; it even made the news."

Online comments say the two children are kind and loyal, treating even a stranger like the nanny so well; their parents must have done something utterly heinous to break their hearts and get kicked out.

"Oh right, I remember that too. The comments section was full of criticism, everyone saying the parents deserved to be miserable in their old age because they treated their children badly. They didn't even mention the material wealth they had worked so hard for over the years, and that it was only because a high-paid caregiver was out of their mind that they were so devoted to them?"

"Damn it! I think he's been brainwashed by the nanny! You still have to raise the child yourself."

“Raise them yourself? If the family is a little poor, you can't help but blame your parents for this kind of ungrateful child. Some children are just born to be debtors, there's nothing you can do about it.”

"Staying single and childless ensures peace of mind; being single is the best!"

The fluffy ball scratched its ear with its hind paw, its face serious. "Human babies are terrifying! How come I never noticed this before? I have to praise my host again; he's so wise to save me so much trouble~"

Jiang Chen hired the best lawyers to help Ye Ruoyi with her lawsuit.

However, the laws of the current mission world are clear: Qian Jiankun was sentenced to two years in prison; Zhao Limei, whose offense of spreading rumors was less serious, was sentenced to six months in prison.

At the same time, the Shenhong City Court also concluded Hua Zaihong's case.

The court granted the divorce because Zhang Chengbo was at fault during the marriage and there was evidence that his income after the marriage was not used for family expenses, but rather he transferred marital property by transferring money to his younger brother Zhang Chengyue.

Hua Zaihong's donation of her earned wages to charity, based on social welfare considerations, is legal, reasonable, and justified, and there is no need to recover it. The court ruling on the division of marital property is as follows: Hua Zaihong's income was consistently used for family expenses, and Zhang Chengbo paid rent; both parties' contributions are equal.

Zhang Chengbo transferred a total of 75,000 yuan of property after marriage, and Zhang Chengyue needs to return the entire amount within the stipulated time. He also needs to pay Hua Zaihong 37,500 yuan as his share, plus 30,000 yuan for mental distress and labor compensation, totaling 67,500 yuan.

Zhang Chengbo's claim that he was frequently stationed abroad after marriage and that Hua Zaihong lived alone in the rented apartment for extended periods, thus arguing that she should bear the rent alone, is not supported. Married couples cannot share rent costs based on the length of time they live together, nor can they use this as grounds for dividing marital property.

"Zhang Chengbo's case is finally closed." Jiang Chen sighed after carefully reading through the thick stack of documents and binding them into a booklet. "Following the information he revealed about buying a folding knife, we didn't expect to make even greater discoveries."

They directly helped the police arrest a group of guys who specialized in customizing illegal weapons in a workshop deep in the mountains.

Besides the highly lethal folding knife with small barbs that Zhang Chengbo bought, he could even customize air guns. It's said that when the police raided the workshop, they found hundreds of air guns and thousands of bullets.

This also uncovered a vicious murder case that remained unsolved last year. Finding the source of the homemade weapon should solve the case.

Zhang Chengbo's honest confession earned him some good karma; it's a pity that defamation sentences are too lenient, preventing him from receiving much longer. Qian Jiankun is equally despicable; a two-year sentence is far too lenient!

The fluffy little dumpling lazily licked its paws, listening to its host grind its teeth in hatred as it chuckled, "Don't worry, host. Evil people will get their just desserts. Qian Jiankun even dared to bully your future wife, host. He'll definitely die a horrible death!"

After saying that, it revealed its sharp claws and a wicked smile appeared on its lips.

Two days later, a news item went viral, standing out among the two fabricated cases that Jiang Chen had deliberately had his PR firm buy into and promote: Qian Jiankun, an inmate at Shenhong City Prison, castrated himself with a broken stainless steel water cup in the middle of the night, but was rushed to the hospital and is out of danger.

The news report briefly mentioned that Qian Jiankun was not dead, but focused on how relevant departments took this as a lesson to strengthen security, conduct psychological courses to help prisoners cope with their situation, and actively improve ideological education, etc.

"Even if it dies, a lot of people will have to clean up the mess. Physical castration is more suitable for this kind of trash." The little white cat lazily yawned, lay on the balcony, basking in the warmth, and began to sleep soundly.

Jiang Chen leaned back on the sofa, his brows furrowing slightly. He had originally sent a soul weapon to teach Qian Jiankun a lesson, but then thought that the law couldn't punish trash, so he would take matters into his own hands.

Unexpectedly, he witnessed the assassin cat's actions from a first-person perspective. The movements were clean, swift, accurate, and ruthless. Afterwards, the cat was flushed down the toilet. He couldn't help but wonder—how could the fluffy cat be so skilled at this?

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Search for Relatives

Wow! My husband has gotten even more handsome after not seeing him for several days!

"Mr. Wei's pro bono legal aid is really popular lately. He's intervened in many cases and helped a lot of people. The school bullying case in my hometown was resolved very well. Thank you, Mr. Wei, for helping a bullied little boy get justice!"

"You must be very busy lately, right? You've even lost weight."

"By the way, the last time you did a live stream was to find your biological parents. Did Mr. Wei find them? I can help provide a clue. The day before yesterday, when I went back to my hometown, I heard that there was a woman in the village whose son was abducted when she was young. She only had a 100-day photo left. It looks a bit like him."
