Chapter 464: Did They Beat You?

Soon, under Zhonghe’s guidance, they finally met Wang Fugui.

This event had only happened in half a day, but during this time, Wang Fugui, who had stayed here, felt as if he had spent years here. His hair was disheveled, and he looked completely defeated, as if he had lost all hope for life.

When he heard someone coming to see him, he was frightened, fearing that someone sent by the boss had come to deal with him.

So when he arrived at this room, prepared to face death, he never expected that the person waiting for him would be his wife.

“Fugui, why, why have you turned into this? Don’t scare me,” Jiang Huijing said, looking at Wang Fugui’s appearance, unable to recognize him at first. She stared at him in shock.

Wang Fugui, seeing his wife, couldn’t hold back and immediately started crying, covering his face with his hands.

“Darling,” Wang Fugui cried, tightly holding her hand.

This was the first time Jiang Huijing had seen him cry, and she was panicked. “What happened? Did they beat you?”

“Are you talking nonsense? Don’t you know where this place is? How could something like that happen?” Li Yiyi, who had been watching, immediately scolded when she heard Jiang Huijing’s careless remark.

Jiang Huijing, realizing where she was, quickly turned around and smiled awkwardly at Li Yiyi.

“Well, Sister-in-law, you two talk. I’ll give you half an hour, and I’ll come back to pick you up,” Zhonghe said, breaking the awkward silence.

“Alright, thank you,” Li Yiyi said, walking him to the door before heading back inside.

As she returned, she saw the young couple holding hands and crying together.

Li Yiyi immediately felt overwhelmed.

“Alright, stop crying. You’re a grown man, acting like a woman crying all over the place. How embarrassing,” Li Yiyi couldn’t stand it anymore and snapped at them.

Wang Fugui immediately stopped crying, his face showing embarrassment. “Sister-in-law, I’m sorry, I made you laugh at me.”

Li Yiyi said nothing, instead choosing the chair nearest to her and sitting down. “Let me ask you, did you know the consequences of this before doing it?”

“I knew. I just didn’t expect my luck to be so bad, I got caught right after getting my hands on it,” Wang Fugui answered softly.

Upon hearing his answer, Li Yiyi didn’t know what to say at first. She could only take a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

“This matter can only be resolved by your boss. Otherwise, no one can help you,” she said again.

Wang Fugui froze upon hearing this, and after a long pause, he asked quietly, “Can’t Third Brother help me? I don’t want to stay here anymore.”

After saying that, he quickly glanced at his wife.

The young couple thought they were being discreet with their little gesture, but Li Yiyi had already noticed.

As expected, the next second, Jiang Huijing started crying again, pleading with her, “Sister-in-law, please help us. Fugui can’t get into trouble, what will happen to me and the child?”

Li Yiyi quickly interrupted, “Enough, stop crying. Even if you cry until the sky falls, your third brother and I can’t do anything. Now, it depends on how your boss decides to handle this.”

Wang Fugui lowered his head, looking as if the sky was about to fall.

“What should we do then, Fugui? You won’t end up in prison, will you? If you go to prison, what will I do with our daughter?” Jiang Huijing’s eyes were red from crying.

“If I really end up in prison, you have to take good care of our daughter,” Wang Fugui said seriously, his eyes reddened as he looked at his wife.

The sight of this couple crying so miserably was too much for Li Yiyi to bear. She quickly interrupted, “Alright, stop crying. I’ll go talk to your boss and see what kind of conditions they might have.”

As soon as she spoke, the couple, who had been crying just moments ago, stopped instantly, their eyes shining with hope as they stared at her.

“Don’t look at me like that. I’m only going to speak with your boss. Whether they let you off depends on them,” Li Yiyi quickly clarified.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. As long as Third Sister-in-law is willing to help us, I’m sure we’ll be saved,” Wang Fugui said confidently.

Soon, half an hour had passed. Li Yiyi reluctantly left with Jiang Huijing.

Zhonghe personally escorted them to the police station.

“Comrade Zhong, when you have time, come over for a meal,” Li Yiyi said as they were about to leave.

Zhonghe, not wanting to be polite, grinned and replied, “Sure, when I have time, I’ll definitely come to bother you, Sister-in-law.”

“Alright, then it’s settled. We won’t keep you from your work. You can head back now, we’ll walk from here.”

“Alright, Sister-in-law, take care,” Zhonghe said, watching them leave.

After leaving the police station, the two of them happened to catch a bus passing by Chen’s house. They took the bus straight to the luxurious building where Chen lived.

When they arrived at the entrance, the guard immediately turned cold when he saw Jiang Huijing, speaking in a tone that showed he was about to chase her away, “What are you doing here? Boss Chen has said you’re not allowed to step foot here again. Leave quickly, or I’ll lose my job.”

He muttered under his breath, “Seriously, giving up such a good job just to get involved in theft… must be tired of living.”

Jiang Huijing stood silently by Li Yiyi’s side, feeling wronged but unable to say anything in return.

Li Yiyi glanced at her, sighed, and then walked up to the guard, explaining why they were here.

“Please help me tell your boss that we need to speak with him. Don’t worry, you won’t lose your job over this. Could you please check if it’s possible?” she asked, handing him five yuan.

When the guard saw the money, his attitude immediately did a complete turnaround.

“Alright, you wait here. I’ll go ask the boss if he wants to see you. But I can’t guarantee he will,” he said, glancing down at the money in his hand.

Li Yiyi understood his unspoken message and quickly responded, “I know, I understand. The money is just to buy you a drink.”
