1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

However, at this moment Wu Dong's mind was as clear as a mirror. He knew very well that now was not the right time to worry about the whereabouts of those things.

He had to grit his teeth and insist that he had never seen those things.

Time passed slowly in the suffocating and tense atmosphere, and soon after, the public security comrades walked out of the house.

There was an embarrassment that was hard to conceal on their faces. After all, the Wu family before them was penniless, with no trace of the wealth that Wu Meili had described.

Seeing this, Wu Dong calmed down and took the initiative to step forward and ask: "Comrade Public Security, you have also checked the room. Did you see what Wu Meili said?"

The public security officer looked at Wu Dong and said in a gentle tone: "Comrade Wu Dong, there must be a misunderstanding here. We are just investigating according to the law. We have no other intentions."

Wu Dong nodded slightly. He had no intention of embarrassing the two police officers. He just wanted to clear his name. "In this case, please help me. Wu Meili has accused me of stealing things without any reason. She must apologize to me today."

At this moment, Wu Meili rushed out of the house like a mad female beast.

Her eyes were red and bloodshot, and she shouted hysterically: "Wu Dong, you ungrateful bastard, tell me where you hid those things!"

The sharp sound cut through the air, as if it was going to devour Wu Dong alive.

Wu Dong looked at the almost crazy Wu Meili and subconsciously hid behind the two police officers.

His eyes showed both disgust towards Wu Meili and a hint of unspeakable helplessness: "Wu Meili, I think you are the ungrateful one. Not only did you not care about my grandparents' death, but you even emptied the house after they passed away. I think you are the real ungrateful one!"

The two police officers also expressed their sympathy and support for Wu Dong. One of them said to Wu Meili seriously, "Comrade Wu Meili, you reported to the police that Comrade Wu Dong stole things from your home. Now you have seen that the Wu family is empty-handed and does not have the things you said. Now you must apologize to Comrade Wu Dong for your behavior."

"Impossible! Why should I apologize to him? He must have stolen those things. It must have been him!"

Wu Meili remained stubborn, her emotions were completely out of control, and she seemed to be trapped in a vortex of paranoia from which she could not extricate herself.

Seeing Wu Meili was so stubborn, the public security comrade continued to persuade her patiently: "Comrade Wu Meili, everything must be based on evidence. Now the facts are in front of us. Comrade Wu Dong did not steal, so you must apologize to him."

"No, it's impossible. It was Wu Dong who stole the things. It was him!"

Wu Meili screamed at the top of her lungs, waving her hands in the air, as if this would make her fictional "truth" come true.

The two public security comrades looked at each other helplessly, their eyes full of sympathy for Wu Dong.

They thought that Wu Dong was unlucky to have such an unreasonable aunt.

The public security officer turned to look at Wu Dong and asked softly, "Comrade Wu Dong, look at this..."

Wu Dong took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said calmly: "Comrade Public Security, although Wu Meili is the daughter of my grandparents, she cut off contact with the Wu family after she disobeyed the two old people and got married. Now that the two old people have passed away, she came back and emptied the Wu family. I was heartbroken at the time, but I couldn't stop four people alone. Now I, Wu Dong, will take this opportunity to sever my relationship with Wu Meili from now on. I will go back to the police station to sign a severance letter, and I also ask the two public security comrades to bear witness for me. Comrade Public Security, let's go!"

Even at this point, Wu Meili still had no intention of giving up. She rushed forward desperately, trying to pull Wu Dong: "Wu Dong, you little brat, tell me where you hid those things... Tell me quickly..."

Seeing this, the two police officers impatiently stopped Wu Meili. One of them raised his voice and scolded her, "Comrade Wu Meili, you are going too far. You reported someone stealing your things, but now it is obvious that you are making it up. If you continue like this, Comrade Wu Dong has the right to sue you for defamation, and the police station will arrest you."

After being sternly rebuked by the public security comrade, Wu Meili felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over her head, and she immediately became obedient.

Although she was still unwilling in her heart, the fear of being arrested and taken to the police station made her restrain her edge temporarily.

She stood there, her lips trembling slightly, and suddenly, "Woo woo..." Wu Meili started crying sadly.

However, the neighbors around her did not have the slightest sympathy for her. They pointed fingers at her and called her "ungrateful", "shameless", and "heartless". All kinds of nasty words came flooding towards her like a tide.

Afterwards, Wu Dong followed the two police officers to the police station, where he successfully notarized the document severing his relationship with Wu Meili.

From then on, there was no connection between Wu Meili and Wu Dong.

After Wu Dong finished all the formalities and dragged his exhausted body back home, he seemed to have used up all his strength and suddenly collapsed on the bed.

Only God knows what kind of ups and downs his mood has experienced today. It was like riding a roller coaster, exciting and thrilling.

Although the final result was good for him, he cleared his name and completely got rid of the trouble of Wu Meili.

But the strangeness of the inexplicable disappearance of those things still lingered in his mind like a fog, making him feel extremely incredible.

But at this moment, he really didn't have the energy to explore, he just hoped to be safe and sound from now on.

That night, Wu Dong walked out of the house slowly, holding a basin of used face washing water in his hand.

The fatigue and exhaustion of these days made him seem to have aged several years in an instant, and every movement seemed so slow and weak.

He walked out of the house and was about to pour out the water when he looked up inadvertently and froze in place.

I saw that the things that had disappeared without a trace were now piled up in the middle of the yard.

Wu Dong's eyes suddenly widened. He couldn't believe his eyes. He rubbed them hard, thinking he was hallucinating.

But when the real touch and familiar outline came into view again, an irrepressible excitement surged in his heart.

Tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes, swirling around in his eye sockets and blurring his vision.

His lips trembled slightly, and his throat seemed to be choked by something, and he was unable to speak for a long time.

"Oh my God..."

Wu Dong finally let out a cry full of affection and gratitude, and then he slowly knelt down.

His knees hit the ground heavily, making a dull sound, but he seemed not to feel any pain at all.

His forehead was pressed against the ground, his hands were clasped together, and his body was trembling slightly with excitement.

In his heart, this must be a manifestation of God, extending a helping hand to him when he was most desperate and helpless.

Otherwise, how could these things disappear so mysteriously and reappear in the world so quietly?

In the darkness of the yard, Li Weiguo stood there quietly, as if he had become a part of the night.

His eyes fell calmly on Wu Dong, watching him kneel down devoutly to God.

The corners of Li Weiguo's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.
