Chapter 74: Flustered
Chapter 74: Flustered
Jiang Xia didn’t hesitate to snatch the letter. "I need to see if this letter is another forgery in my handwriting."
What a joke?
Of course, the original owner of the letter should be the first to read it and think of a way to handle the situation.
She opened the letter, but most of its content had already been burned. Because the letter was folded, the remaining parts were disjointed, but there were a couple of sentences that were very much in her favor.
Jiang Xia had a plan in mind and generously handed the letter to the team leader.
"Captain, this letter is in my handwriting. See, the paper is different from the one I previously gave you. I’ve only been here for a short time, and my family only had one stack of letter paper. Since I rarely write to anyone, there’s still some left. I can bring the remaining paper and compare it to this one, and then compare it to the paper from Wen Wan’s home. This will show whether she was imitating my handwriting and writing letters under my name."
The captain compared the papers and found that Jiang Xia was right.
The red lines on the two pieces of paper were different. The burned letter had finer, lighter red lines, while the other letter had a redder color and a slightly different shade of white. Although the difference wasn’t obvious, a closer look revealed that they were from two different stacks of paper.
At this point, no one else in the room had found anything suspicious, only a stack of remaining letter paper on the desk.
The captain compared it and confirmed that it matched the paper from the forged letter.
The captain looked at Wen Wan. "Comrade Wen Wan, you’ve been imitating someone else’s handwriting and forging letters, causing serious consequences and a bad influence. I need to take you to—"
Wen Wan, seeing the exercise book and the half-burned letter, knew she couldn’t deny it anymore. She interrupted the captain. "Captain, I swear I only wrote this one letter and no others! I can apologize to Comrade Jiang Xia."
Where were they taking her?
Would they lock her in a small, dark room for interrogation?
Even if they eventually cleared her and let her out, how could she face anyone again?
Look, the villagers were already looking at her in shock!
As if she had committed some unspeakable crime.
Wen Wan, with red eyes, bowed deeply to Jiang Xia. "Sister Jiang Xia, I’m sorry!"
Jiang Xia found her act of the innocent lotus blossom incredibly infuriating. Unfortunately, she wasn’t good at playing the victim, but she had to try. She pinched her thigh hard, and tears instantly streamed down her face.
Jiang Xia, tears welling up in her eyes, turned to Wen Wan. "No wonder Student Wu Qizhi was always harassing me! We barely knew each other, we never spoke during high school, and I wondered why he kept sending me harassing letters, even after I wrote to reject him. He still showed up, insisting that I agreed to elope with him and dragging me away, causing me to fall into the sea and nearly drown! It turns out you were the one writing letters to him in my handwriting! How could you do this?"
Wen Wan’s eyes widened in disbelief as she watched Jiang Xia’s dramatic performance. Was her acting ability really that strong?
She should have been a screenwriter or an actress; it was a waste of talent!
"Stop making things up! I only forged one letter; the others were written by you to Wu Qizhi! You and Wu Qizhi were having an affair, and you made Brother Zhou wear the green hat! Don’t think you can deny it! Don’t you have other letters? Dare you show them to everyone?"
Show them? She had already destroyed them. Jiang Xia wiped her tears and feigned anger. "I stand by my actions. The burned letter proves my innocence! It clearly states that ‘I don’t like him and won’t be with him!’ Wu Qizhi approached me because he wanted my father to help him find a job, which I also refused in the letter. I wrote, ‘I can’t guarantee my father will help him find a job; my father is a man of integrity.’”
"This is all written in black and white in the letter, Captain. You saw the contents of the letter, didn't you? You can vouch for me."
The captain nodded. "The letter did say that."
Wen Wan was furious. "It's not like that! In the letter, Jiang Xia also mentioned wanting to elope with Wu Qizhi and divorce Zhou Chenglei! She even said she would try to help Wu Qizhi get a job! But those parts were burned!"
Jiang Xia ignored Wen Wan and addressed the captain. "Captain, Wen Wan has no reason to imitate my handwriting and write such an ambiguous letter to Comrade Wu Qizhi. She has damaged my reputation, made my husband and I a laughingstock in the village, and made everyone think I was cheating on him. She tried to ruin my family and nearly caused my divorce. Today, she even got me kicked out of my home by my mother-in-law. I don't blame her for any of this. I'm just worried that she might have written similar letters to my parents and others. Please investigate thoroughly!"
The villagers were embarrassed. They had no idea the truth was like this. Who would have thought that the man was a wild stranger lured by Wen Wan imitating Jiang Xia's handwriting?
Even the stories on the radio wouldn't dare to be this dramatic!
Wen Wan angrily shouted, "Jiang Xia, don't spew lies! I'll admit what I did, but the letter I forged last night only contained the parts you saw. Everything else that happened was your own doing, and it has nothing to do with me! I can swear to it!"
Unfortunately, she had already lied once, and there was the partially burned letter written in Jiang Xia's own handwriting to back it up. Who would believe her now?
Jiang Xia had already made everything clear!
The villagers chimed in, "Chief, please investigate thoroughly! Wen Wan's actions are too despicable!"
"Too heartless, she's trying to break up someone's family! She must be severely criticized! She must have seen Zhou Chenglei's potential and wanted to force Jiang Xia out so she could marry him. How can she compare to Jiang Xia? Zhou Chenglei wouldn't look at her!"
"Not just breaking up a family, but Jiang Xia also said she was a traitor. Someone who can imitate handwriting like that, who knows what other things she's done?"
"No wonder she suddenly had money to pay for her education. I heard Jiang Xia's parents are city officials. It would be easy for her to imitate Jiang Xia's handwriting and write to her father for money, wouldn't it?"
Wen Wan was furious at the villagers' words. "I didn't! Don't spew lies! I earned the money for my tuition myself! I never wrote to Jiang Xia's parents! Don't spread rumors!"
Jiang Xia recalled encountering Wen Wan at the production team earlier. She suspected that Wen Wan had called Wu Qizhi to come over, given that she had the original letters from Wu Qizhi and they must have had some sort of arrangement.
So she said, "Captain, I need to borrow a phone from the production team. I have to call my father and see if Wen Wan has written any letters to him. I also need to clear up the misunderstanding with my mother-in-law. There are no buses to the city now, so could you write me a letter of introduction? I need to stay at a hotel in town tonight and wait for a bus to the city tomorrow."
One of the production team members suddenly remembered, "I remember now, Comrade Wen Wan also came to the production team to borrow a phone. I overheard her talking to someone on the other end, saying the time was right and to come and pick her up quickly!"
Someone shouted, "Heaven, that man really was called by her!"
Jiang Xia almost laughed. Well, it was settled. Wu Qizhi was called by Wen Wan to deliberately harass her and ruin her reputation.
Wen Wan was in too deep now, even the Yellow River couldn't wash away her guilt!
"I didn't!" Wen Wan screamed, then, overwhelmed by anger, she fainted.
