Chapter 152 : Detention Center

Xu Zhigang didn’t want to speak too quickly, but looking at the attitude of Fang Shijun and his wife, he knew that if he didn’t speak today, he might not have another chance.

“Brother Fang, you know Xiaoluo is kind-hearted. Our family is really struggling financially right now. Can you help us pass on a message to Director Wei Yan to continue placing orders with us?”

“Xiaoluo once did a favor for Director Wei Yan. As long as she says a word, it will be more effective than us saying a carload of words. Director Wei Yan will definitely not refuse her face.”

“Don’t worry, as long as this matter is settled, we promise not to treat you unfairly. I will give you half of my profit!”

Fang Shijun frowned and said, “No one wants your dirty money. Get out, get out now!”

As he said that, he found a broom and started chasing them away.

Zhao Lihong yelled, “You’re not Xiaoluo, how do you know she won’t speak for us? We won’t treat her unfairly!”

Zhang Xinyan angrily said, “Haven’t you treated her badly enough? Get out of here now, as far away as you can!”

Xu Zhigang and Zhao Lihong were basically cursed by everyone in Honghe Village, and many villagers came to help chase them away.

They had no choice but to get in the car and leave quickly.

Sitting in the car, Zhao Lihong was so angry that she burst into tears. “For so many years, we’ve never been treated like this. Now, our funds aren’t turning over, and there are no orders. In two days, this car won’t be ours.”

Xu Zhigang slammed his fist on the steering wheel. “If I had known earlier, I would never have acknowledged Yaqiu as my daughter. Look at what our family has become now.”

Zhao Lihong also sighed.

On one side was the daughter she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy, and on the other side was the adopted daughter who brought good fortune to the family.

“I didn’t know Xiaoluo was so useful before. There’s no such thing as regret medicine.” Zhao Lihong said, “She’s in the military compound now. It’s too difficult to see her.”

Xu Zhigang said, “It would be best if we could meet in person. We can’t do it the same way as before. We need to talk it out.”

As soon as Xu Zhigang and Zhao Lihong left, Zhang Xinyan called Fang Xiaoluo to warn her to be careful of Xu Zhigang and his wife.

However, Fang Xiaoluo had nothing to worry about. Within two days, the Public Security Bureau sent a message saying that the matter of the admission letter had been thoroughly investigated.

Shen Zheng had been very busy these days.

Colleges and universities in Jiangcheng had started classes one after another, and freshmen from several schools were being accommodated inside and outside the military camp.

Shen Zheng and his group were responsible for the military training of the freshmen at Jiangcheng University.

With so many students in the military camp, they had to be extremely careful. He left early and came back late these days. The military training lasted for a month.

So Fang Xiaoluo went to the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau by herself.

When she arrived, Director Gao Cen was not there. It was the policeman named Chen who had taken her statement in the office last time.

“We found out from the post office’s records last year that your admission letter had indeed been delivered. Xu Zhigang and Zhao Lihong originally denied it, but the post office kept a copy of the letter with Xu Zhigang’s signature confirming that the letter had been received.”

“After interrogation, Xu Zhigang and Zhao Lihong admitted that after receiving your admission letter last year, they burned it to prevent you from going to school.”

“This incident can be regarded as stealing and destroying the admission letter. Now Xu Zhigang and Zhao Lihong have been sent to the detention center. The next step is to see how they will be sentenced.”

Fang Xiaoluo really couldn’t understand. Last year, they didn’t know that the original owner was not their biological daughter. How could they have the heart to stop their biological daughter from going to school?

“Did they tell us why the admission letters were burned?” Fang Xiaoluo asked.

Chen Gongan shook his head. “We asked them about this, but they wouldn’t tell us. Zhao Lihong said she wanted to see you. Do you want to see her?”

If it were up to Fang Xiaoluo, she definitely wouldn’t want to see them and would just wait for the verdict.

However, she thought the original owner must want to know the reason.

“Okay, I’ll see them.”

Fang Xiaoluo went to the detention center alone and sat there waiting.

Not long after, Xu Zhigang and Zhao Lihong were taken away separately.

The last time she saw them both was in court.

Actually, it hadn’t been that long.

But the pride they once had was no longer visible on their faces. Instead, they were depressed and frustrated.

The two of them looked much older than before.

Xu Zhigang and Zhao Lihong sat down opposite Fang Xiaoluo.

In Zhao Lihong’s eyes, Fang Xiaoluo appeared beautiful and elegant. Her skin was delicate and rosy, obviously well-maintained.

She secretly hated it in her heart and couldn’t help but snort, “Are you satisfied to see us like this now?”

Fang Xiaoluo raised an eyebrow, “Not very satisfied.”

“You!” Zhao Lihong had originally wanted to be nicer to Fang Xiaoluo so that life at home would improve, but before anything could happen, people from the Public Security Bureau arrived and arrested her and Xu Zhigang.

Fang Xiaoluo said indifferently, “Me? You two destroyed my admission letter, which means you destroyed my whole life. Do you think I will be satisfied if I let you stay in the detention center, even if you are sentenced to prison later? What can you give me in return for my life?”

Xu Zhigang angrily said, “What kind of life do you want? What’s wrong with you now? You’re married to the head of the regiment, and you live a comfortable life. You wear good clothes and eat good food. What on earth is wrong with you?”

Fang Xiaoluo really thought it was ridiculous. “Do you want to listen to what you’re saying? The man I married was someone your daughter didn’t want to marry, and you weren’t very satisfied with him at the time. As for how my life is now, that’s what I have managed myself. What does it have to do with you? Whether my life is satisfactory or not, it has nothing to do with you, but my suffering comes from you!”

Zhao Lihong clenched her fists tightly and suppressed her anger, “But after all, we raised you…”

“Shut up now.” Fang Xiaoluo interrupted them, “My parents also raised Xu Yaqiu, no one owes anyone anything in this regard.”

Zhao Lihong took a deep breath, “Xiaoluo, don’t be like this. After all, we have been friends for so many years. Even if we have no credit, we have worked hard. Xiaojie always talks about you and says that you are a good sister.”

Thinking of Xu Xiaojie, Fang Xiaoluo’s expression softened a little.

Xu Xiaojie could be considered a unique figure in the Xu family, the kind who was untainted by the family’s issues.

Fang Xiaoluo even suspected that Xu Xiaojie might have been the wrong child. Otherwise, how could the gene have mutated?

Seeing Fang Xiaoluo didn’t say anything, Zhao Lihong continued, “Xiaoluo, can you take care of Xiaojie for us? She’s going to high school soon, but with the situation at home, we’re really worried that she won’t be able to continue her studies, and her life will be ruined.”

After hearing what Zhao Lihong said, Fang Xiaoluo sneered, “Yes, Xiaojie’s life is ruined if she doesn’t study. I should have had a good future, but you ruined it. Don’t you think you’re wrong? Instead, you have the nerve to beg me?”
