Chapter 56 : Open the Door

The blonde-haired thug cradled his head and begged for mercy, “Big brother, I didn’t do anything! I just talked to her for a bit. Ask her if you don’t believe me!”

He felt miserable, thinking that today was off to a terrible start.

He Feiyan smiled coldly. “You didn’t do anything? No, you just didn’t have time to do anything! Brother, take them to the police station. They keep saying I’ve offended someone and want to teach me a lesson. Someone must be behind this!”

He Tingyue’s expression was grim, he wouldn’t let them go just like that.

“Go to the police station and confess honestly. You’ll be out in a few days.”

The thug’s face fell, his head drooping. It was tough making money in this world.

He was getting a good beating and would still have to spend a few days inside. When he got out, his dad would definitely break his legs.

He Tingyue led the three troublemakers ahead, with Jiang Yu and the others following behind.

“Are you all okay?” Jiang Yu whispered.

Xie Fei fei pointed, “When I came over, I just happened to hear Feiyan’s voice. I walked in and saw these thugs trying to get physical with her, saying a lot of sleazy things. I was scared for a moment, so I pulled her and ran, but we ended up in a dead end.”

She had been a bit scared, she had never encountered something like this in her life.

Later, hearing their words, it seemed they only wanted to scare them and hadn’t meant to hurt them, which eased her fears.

After all, Jiang Yu had gone to get help, and it was only a matter of time before these thugs were dealt with.

He Feiyan gritted her teeth. “I was so stupid to actually believe Duan Yuzhen’s nonsense!”

If Duan Yuzhen hadn’t been involved, she would have written her name backwards.

Jiang Yu pursed her lips, this crude and straightforward method really did seem like Duan Yuzhen’s style.

“I still need to go to the police station. You guys can head back first, we probably won’t be able to go to Beihai Park today.”

Jiang Yu patted her shoulder. “It’s fine, we’ll stay with you. If we can’t go today, we can go another day.”

He Feiyan let out a sigh. “Actually, I was a bit scared at first, but thankfully you called my brother.”

She was younger than Jiang Yu and was well-protected by He Tingyue of course, she would be scared.

“Why don’t you all come to my house for a meal? I’ll cook for you.”

She was really grateful for Jiang Yu and Xie Fei fei’s quick thinking.

Xie Fei fei shook her head, refusing, “I’m not going. I get nervous whenever I see your brother.”

He Feiyan exclaimed, “It can’t be that exaggerated, right?”

“I’m just not going to your house.”

He Feiyan looked at Jiang Yu, her eyes full of hope.

“Jiang Yu, you’re not scared, right? My brother is really nice to you.”

Jiang Yu’s cheeks flushed, embarrassed. “What are you talking about!”

He Feiyan linked her arm with Jiang Yu’s, acting cute. “Just come! My brother is a great cook!”

Jiang Yu shot her a look. “Didn’t you just say you’d cook yourself?”

He Feiyan chuckled, looking a bit guilty. “I wanted to cook, but I’m afraid you wouldn’t want to eat it.”

Jiang Yu patted her hand, noticing they had arrived at the police station.

“Let’s resolve this matter first, then we’ll talk.”

All three of them were involved and needed to cooperate with the report.

The blonde thug’s legs turned to jelly when he saw He Tingyue, even more so once they were inside the police station.

He almost didn’t need to be asked much, he confessed everything on his own.

It was clear that Duan Yuzhen had it in for He Feiyan after she embarrassed her in the courtyard last time. That’s why she had bribed these thugs to go after He Feiyan.

He Feiyan spat coldly, “Now that we’ve found the mastermind, it’s time to catch them, right?”

One of the police officers turned to He Tingyue and asked, “Director He, since this is an internal matter for your factory, do you want to handle it privately, or should we intervene?”

He Tingyue and He Feiyan whispered for a moment, and in the end, they decided to let the police take action.

Since Duan Yuzhen wanted to scare He Feiyan, it was time for her to experience some fear herself.

Not allowing the police to step in wouldn’t teach her a lesson.

The police gave face to He Tingyue, taking the thugs into custody and accompanying He Tingyue.

When the officers in uniform appeared in the courtyard, Xu Lihua, who suffered from rheumatism, quickly came out.

“Feiyan, what’s going on? Why are you bringing the police here?”

He Feiyan waved her hand impatiently. “Aunt Xu, go do your thing, this isn’t your business!”

“Oh, what’s got you all worked up? Who bullied you?” Xu Lihua stepped down the stairs, looking like she was watching a show.

The leading police officer noticed her and asked, “Ma’am, are you from the Duan family?”

Xu Lihua hurriedly denied, “No! I’m not! The Duan family lives in the east wing. Who are you looking for?”

“It’s not your business, just stay aside,” the police officer waved her off and turned to knock on the Duan family’s door.

After knocking for a while with no response, Xu Lihua called out, “Yuzhen, the police are here looking for you! Open the door!”

After waiting a bit longer, still no one answered.

Xu Lihua clicked her tongue. “This isn’t right. Yuzhen went in and hasn’t come out since. There must be someone inside, they can’t be sleeping, can they?”

He Feiyan sneered and kicked the Duan family’s door hard.

“Duan Yuzhen, don’t think you can play dead and get away with this. I’m telling you, there’s no way!”

The first one to return home was Duan Yuzhen’s sister-in-law, Lin Donghua.

She rushed over, “He Feiyan, what’s going on? Can’t we just talk? We all live in the same courtyard.”

Xu Lihua’s eyes were darting around. “Donghua, hurry and tell your sister to open the door. The police are here looking for her!”

Lin Donghua’s heart sank when she finally noticed the police standing at the door like guardians.

“Are you making a mistake? My Yuzhen is the most honest person, she wouldn’t do anything illegal!”

“Whether she did or not, we don’t need to explain that to you. Just call her out first. The thugs are currently detained at the police station. If she’s innocent, she’ll naturally be released once we confirm.”

Lin Donghua was alarmed. “What thugs? How could our Yuzhen be involved with thugs!”

The police officer looked slightly impatient. “We don’t need to explain this to you. If you don’t open the door, we’ll handle it ourselves. But if this door gets damaged, don’t come looking for us to pay for it.”

Lin Donghua signaled to her son to go find someone and then turned back to knock on the door.

“Yuzhen, it’s your sister-in-law! Open the door! If you don’t open it, the police are going to break it down! If there’s any misunderstanding, you need to come out and clear it up.”

Inside, Duan Yuzhen realized she had nowhere to hide and had to come out to open the door.

Her heart was heavy, and when she saw the police, her eyes turned red.

Duan Yuzhen hid behind Lin Donghua, choking back tears. “Sister-in-law, I don’t want to go to the police station. Please help me, I don’t want to go!”

He Feiyan sneered, “When you hired someone to harm me, why didn’t you think this day would come?”
