The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

Chapter 539 Harmed by an Internal Traitor

“Xiaoyu, your mother is still in the bathroom. She probably won’t wake up until tonight. Are you planning to pick her up now, or…” Wang Xinyao asked again.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Luo Xiaoyu's face. She sighed softly, her fingertips unconsciously picking at the hem of her clothes, her voice tinged with weariness.

“I have to go to work soon, so I don’t have time to take her home right now. I’ll get her a room at the hotel later so she can get a good night’s sleep.”

She was truly at a loss with such an unreliable mother; she couldn't hit her or scold her, so she could only leave her like this for the time being.

Seeing her like this, Wang Xinyao's heart softened, and she said with a smile, "Xiaoyu, you are Li Bin's girlfriend, and you will be my sister-in-law sooner or later. This is my gift to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she took out a red silk bag from the ring's space. After opening it layer by layer, a complete set of glittering gold jewelry was revealed.

The phoenix hairpin shimmered with light, the pearls and jade ornaments on it swayed gently, and even the patterns on the hairpin were carved with lifelike detail.

"My God!" Luo Xiaoyu gasped, her eyes widening, and she almost dropped the documents in her hand.

This heavy texture and dazzling luster, it's actually made of pure gold?

This price is incalculable!

She quickly waved her hands and took half a step back: "Cousin, this is too valuable, I really can't accept it! How much is such a set of gold jewelry worth? I dare not take it."

This girl is quite perceptive; she called me "cousin" in a sweet and natural way.

Wang Xinyao was even more satisfied. She shoved the red silk bundle into her arms with such force that there was no room for refusal.

"Why wouldn't I dare accept this? I genuinely treat you like family."

Your brother-in-law is in the gold business; I have a huge pile of these things, they're nothing rare.

If you ever need money in the future, just take this set of jewelry and exchange it for cash. With money in hand, you'll be more assertive and won't have to listen to your mother's every whim and suffer grievances anymore.

Luo Xiaoyu held the golden jewelry in her arms, the cool touch traveling through her fingertips, but her heart felt warm.

The grievances and helplessness I had suffered these past few days seemed to find an outlet, and tears welled up and streamed down my cheeks.

"Thank you, cousin..." She hugged the cloth bag tightly, choking back tears and unable to speak.

"Silly girl, why are you crying?" Wang Xinyao reached out and gently wiped away her tears.

"You're Li Bin's girlfriend, so it's only right that I help you. Li Bin is lucky to have found such a wonderful girl like you."

"Stop crying, your makeup's all ruined. You should go to work; Dad and I have things to do."

"Okay, cousin, you guys go ahead!" Luo Xiaoyu nodded, thanked them several times, and then carefully left with the gold jewelry.

As soon as she left, Wang Xinyao took Zhao Haoxuan and Chen Qingfeng out of the hotel and headed straight for the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Standing at the entrance of the police station, Wang Xinyao took out her phone and dialed a familiar number, her tone slightly excited: "Hey, senior, it's me! Are you at the station right now?"

After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, a deep male voice, tinged with hesitation, spoke: "You are..."

"I am Wang Xinyao!"

Before she could finish speaking, there was a loud thud on the other end of the phone, as if the phone had fallen to the ground.

Then came a flurry of footsteps, and after a while, the phone was finally picked up.

The man's voice was noticeably hoarse and incredulous: "Where are you? Where are you right now?"

“I’m right outside the police station,” Wang Xinyao replied with a smile.

"Stay there and don't move! Don't go anywhere, I'm coming out right away!"

The phone call was abruptly ended, and a few minutes later, a figure rushed out of the police station.

The man was tall and upright, dressed in a crisp police uniform with the star-shaped epaulets on his shoulder insignia standing out. It was Xiao Yifeng.

His face was filled with ecstasy and excitement, his eyes seemed to be shining, and he spotted Wang Xinyao in the crowd at a glance.

But after all these years, she seems younger and more beautiful than before.

"Xinyao!" Xiao Yifeng rushed over and hugged Wang Xinyao tightly, his voice trembling.

"It really is you! You're not dead! Where have you been all these years?"

Do you know how heartbroken I was when I heard the news of your sacrifice in the line of duty? I couldn't sleep for days, my heart was heavy!

Zhao Haoxuan's face instantly turned cold.

The air around us seemed to freeze, and a bone-chilling cold emanated from us.

Xiao Yifeng felt a chill run down his neck, as if he were being stared at by a wild beast. He froze, quickly released his grip on Wang Xinyao, and subconsciously took a half-step back.

Only then did she notice the two men with extremely strong auras beside Wang Xinyao.

Wang Xinyao knew Zhao Haoxuan was jealous, so she secretly glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, a hint of a smile in her eyes.

Zhao Haoxuan immediately understood and obediently withdrew the chill emanating from his body, but his gaze towards Xiao Yifeng still held a hint of scrutiny.

Wang Xinyao then turned to Xiao Yifeng and explained with a smile, "Senior brother, I'm not dead. I came back this time because I need your help with something. I want to get my previously canceled ID card reinstated."

“No problem!” Xiao Yifeng agreed immediately, his gaze falling on Zhao Haoxuan and Chen Qingfeng.

When he saw Chen Qingfeng, he frowned slightly and thought to himself: Why does this person look so familiar?

I feel like I've seen this photo somewhere before...

An old photograph, long forgotten, flashed through his mind, but he quickly shook his head and dismissed it.

"Impossible. The person in the photo has been dead for over twenty years. He should be fifty by now, but the man in front of me looks no more than thirty. He just looks like him."

"Come in with me." Xiao Yifeng led the three of them toward the office building. As they passed the office door, Wang Xinyao caught a glimpse of the words "Director" on the doorplate.

I never imagined that my senior from back then would become a bureau chief!

Upon entering the office and sitting down, Xiao Yifeng couldn't contain his curiosity and leaned forward, eagerly asking, "What's wrong?"

"Xinyao, how did you survive back then? I remember the search and rescue team searched for several days, but they only found your bloodstains, and they thought you..."

Wang Xinyao did not answer immediately, but instead looked up at Zhao Haoxuan.

Zhao Haoxuan immediately understood, raised his hand and waved it gently in the air, and an invisible protective shield enveloped the entire office, isolating it from all outside prying eyes.

After doing all this, Wang Xinyao slowly spoke, her tone becoming serious.

"Senior brother, if I told you that my death back then wasn't an accident, but rather I was killed by a traitor, would you believe me?"

Xiao Yifeng was taken aback at first, then nodded heavily, his eyes becoming serious.

"I believe you! I felt something was off back then. Who's the mole? Do you know?"
