Xie Yunjin then added, “Officer Zhao thinks someone strangled him and then hung him.”

“Aren’t there guards in prison? How could- I ‘

Lu Jiao stopped them as she understood what Xie Yunjin was implying, “You think someone bribed the guards?”

Xie Yunjin nodded then said darkly, “Officer Zhao is also shocked. He said he never thought there’d be a mole and therefore he never considered the risk. I suspect this type of thing happened a lot before.”

Lu Jiao saw how furious he was and comforted, “It’s okay. He’s dead so let it be. That thief deserved it.”

She then thought of Xie Yunjin’s new gig as magistrate Hu’s assistant. She worriedly cautioned, “The water in this district is deep. The assistant position will likely bring danger to you. You have to be careful and make sure nobody finds out about it.”

The air around Xie Yunjin turned cold and his brows frosted over.

“I wasn’t that excited to be magistrate Hu e s assistant. Now that the bad guys started playing around, I now have a great desire to seek them out. I will go meet with the magistrate later.”

He then got up to get moving. However, Lu Gui entered then, “Sister, brother-in-law, master Han is here with his two sons.”

Xie Yunjin gestured for Lu Gui to invite them in. He was aware of what’s been happening in the Han family.

This good friend of his was truly unlucky. How did he end up with a woman as vile as Du Lanzhu?

Classmate Han and his sons arrived soon.

To Lu Jiao, classmate Han seemed to have aged by 10 years. He appeared weakened and tired out.

Xie Yunjin knew he was in a bad mood. No matter how awful Du Lanzhu was, she was the mother of his children. He had no idea that that woman was fooling around with her own cousin. “Are you okay?”

Xie Yunjin asked classmate Han.

Classmate Han felt better after Xie Yunjin’s caring question. If Xie Yunjin ignored him at a time like this, he might not make it through this.

Classmate Han shook his head, “I’m okay.”

He then ordered his sons to greet the hosts, “Dongdong, Nannan, why are you not greeting your uncle and aunt?”

Classmate Han’s eldest son was named Han Dongsheng and his youngest was named Han Nanfeng. Their nicknames were Dongdong and Nannan.

Dongdong was five and Nannan was three. The younger one was still clueless and called out, “Uncle, aunty,” when his dad ordered.

The elder one refused unhappily.

Classmate Han wanted to scold him.

Lu Jiao chimed in then, “It’s okay. He must be in a bad mood about what just happened. He’ll feel better after some time.”

Lu Jiao then asked Lu Gui to take the children and the four little ones out to

Xie Yunjin said to classmate Han, “I have something I wanted to talk to you about.”

The hair stood up on Classmate Han then. Did Du Lanzhu start something again? What else would Xie Yunjin want to discuss?

Xie Yunjin’ s crisp voice arose, “A few days ago, Lu Jiao took the four children shopping. The Third Born was taken away by someone. It was Lu Jiao who risked her life and got the Third Born back. The kidnapper was taken to prison by Officer Zho and he refused to reveal who he worked for. Yesterday night, the kidnapper was strangled to death while in prison.

However, I was there when Officer Zhao was interrogating that kidnapper. I also got the chance to trap him and have him reveal some information. He worked for Du Lanzhu and their end goal was to capture Lu Jiao, not to kidnap the Third Born.”

Classmate Han reacted like he had been thunderstruck. He shot out of his seat and started to pace around the room.

“That woman is helpless, helpless! How could she do something like that instead of feeling sorry for everything she did before? How could she plot against Lady Lu… ‘ I

Classmate Han was utterly disappointed with Du Lanzhu.

That woman grew up spoiled and never had to consider anyone else’s feelings. As an adult, she became so much worse. Even after becoming someone’s wife, she was disloyal and now, she went as low as hiring thugs to intentionally hurt someone.

Classmate Han was still somewhat sad about the divorce but now, he felt so fortunate to have dodged a bullet.

Xie Yunjin continued, “I’m telling you this because I want to warn you that I am not going to forgive Du Lanzhu. You should be mentally prepared. This woman dared to hurt Lu Jiao once and she may very well try it again. I’m not going to wait around until she hurts my family before I make a move.”

Classmate Han froze a little then sighed in pain, “From now on, her business is hers only. I will not be tied to it.”

Xie Yunjin nodded then brought up something else, “I also want to come clean and tell you that I was the one who escalated the discovery of the relationship between her and her cousin. Firstly, I didn’t want you to be the only person who didn’t know. Secondly, only if everyone found out about her affair would you be able to divorce her. With how your parents are, they may tell you to endure and stay. After all, Du Lanzhu gave you two sons and they need a mother.”

Classmate Han knew that to be true. He didn’t know what to say.

Xie Yunjin added, “You’re my good friend and I don’t want to hide anything from you. If you blame me for bringing you shame, I have no defense.”

Classmate Han shook his head and his face was heavy, “Why would I blame you? It is my family who caused your family trouble”

By now, Classmate Han was aware that his family brought many calamities to the Xie family. If he didn’t talk about Lu Jiao so much, Du Lanzhu never would’ve become frustrated and gone to such extremes.

Xie Yunjin stopped worrying.

“I treat you like a good friend and don’t want to hide anything from you.” Classmate Han finally felt better.

He lifted his head and said to Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao, “Before I came in, I saw that Lady Lu was done with construction in the courtyard. I wonder if I can drop off my children here so they could learn from you?

Now that Du Lanzhu was kicked out, his sons have been even more chaotic. He didn’t want his parents to look after the children. They may turn out to be even worse people if he did that.

Therefore, he thought of Lu Jiao and brought his sons here, hoping Lu Jiao could help teach them a lesson.

Xie Yunjin didn’t decline and was about to answer when heart-wrenching cries erupted. Two little silhouettes then stumbled their way in..
