That evening, Jiang Li and Ye Mingyu found themselves without any leads. However, one of Ye Mingyu's subordinates managed to persuade a couple who ran a noodle shop, known as Mr. and Mrs. Ah Guai. The couple had been deceived, their property deed was problematic, and they almost lost their noodle shop, along with their livelihood. Xue Huaiyuan had presided over this case, allowing Mr. and Mrs. Ah Guai to retrieve their deed, thus preventing them from becoming homeless.
Hence, Mr. and Mrs. Ah Guai had always been grateful to County Magistrate Xue. Now that Xue Huaiyuan was imprisoned, the couple wanted to speak out against the injustice but didn't know what they could do, feeling as insignificant as a mantis trying to stop a chariot. The arrival of Jiang Li and her group brought them unexpected joy; it finally seemed like they knew what they could do and they agreed without hesitation.
