Xiang Qiuyun clenched her fists in anger. She thought about everything that had happened before she realized why Lan Yin was in such a hurry to send her and Wang Xiaobao away. It turned out that she wanted her and Wang Xiaobao to take the blame.

What a vicious scheme!

"Qiuyun, Qiuyun, what are you thinking about?" Xiang's mother nudged her daughter, who was deep in thought.

She loosened her clenched fist, but grabbed the blanket as if she were strangling Lan Yin. "Mom, Wang Xiaobao and I didn't abscond with the money."

"So your boss's wife framed you. It seems Xiaonuan was right. She said you wouldn't abandon your mother. Your sudden departure from home and being wanted nationwide must have been a setup. She really knows you best; she knows you're a filial daughter and wouldn't abandon your sick mother." Xiang's mother sighed with emotion. "Xiaonuan is so good. No matter what you did to offend her, she still repays evil with kindness. Even at a time like this, she's still thinking about clearing your name."

"Qiuyun, hurry, someone's coming!" Wang Xiaobao suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in.

"Wang Xiaobao, come here." Xiang Qiuyun beckoned to him.

"What are you doing here? Get out of here!"

"Why would we leave?" Xiang Qiuyun said angrily. "We're not leaving. Let Lan Yin's conspiracy fail."

"What do you mean?" Wang Xiaobao said, sticking his head out to look. Only when he saw the person in the police uniform walk past did he feel relieved. He slammed the door shut and then walked to the bedside to look at Xiang Qiuyun.

“We’ve all been sold out by that bitch Lan Yin.” Xiang Qiuyun’s eyes were blazing with anger. “She was in such a hurry to send us away so that we would take the blame. She took a recording pen to the police station and reported us, saying that we had absconded with money, which is why we were wanted nationwide. I knew it! You’re the one who ruined Moxi, it has nothing to do with me, so why am I also wanted? It’s all because that bitch framed us.”

"Impossible, right?" Wang Xiaobao exclaimed in astonishment. "What good would it do her? If we get caught, the truth will come out. Do you think she can get away with it?"

“She’s gambling, gambling that we won’t dare to come back. If we get caught, she can still blame it on us. Don’t you remember?” Xiang Qiuyun remembered. “That time, you did tell me that we should elope with that money. Yes, it must have been that time. She secretly recorded our conversation.”

"That's too cruel!" Wang Xiaobao felt a chill run down his spine. "We did so many things for her. If it weren't for that, would she have been able to get all of Xie Zhi's assets? And where did she hide all that dirty money? We have no idea. No, we have to find out about the dirty money and clear our names. Otherwise, we'll be scapegoats."

"Then you should turn yourself in right now." Xiang's mother was anxious. It turned out that the two of them really had helped ruin someone else's company.

“No, we can’t turn ourselves in now,” Xiang Qiuyun said. “Our top priority is to find where Lan Yin kept the money. Otherwise, if we turn ourselves in, we’ll still be the ones taking the blame.”

“Yes, we can’t turn ourselves in,” Wang Xiaobao agreed. “Auntie, don’t tell anyone that Qiuyun and I are back yet. Right now, we need to find out where that embezzled money went. Only in this way can we clear our names of absconding with the money.”

"Mom, here's some money for you." Xiang Qiuyun handed her five hundred yuan in cash. "Don't tell anyone we're back."

She counted out two hundred yuan to her mother and put it in her pocket, then stuffed the other three hundred into Qiuyun's hand. "Take this money. Life is tough when you're hiding out there. It's safer to have more money on you. With this money, as long as I don't get sick, I can live for a year."

"Mom, please take this. I don't know when I'll be able to come see you again."

"I know," Xiang's mother said, wiping away her tears. "Xiao Nuan also gave me money and hired a caregiver for me. She also paid for my medical expenses. Once you've settled things, you can return the money to Xiao Nuan."

"Mom, I understand." After this escape, Xiang Qiuyun finally saw through Lan Yin, a woman who was kind on the outside but evil on the inside. She and Wang Xiaobao risked their lives for Lan Yin, and in the end, they only received a three thousand yuan kickback, and they were wanted nationwide for embezzling money and fleeing.

As Xiang Qiuyun and Wang Xiaobao left the hospital, they ran into Xiao Moxi. Wang Xiaobao noticed first and pulled Xiang Qiuyun aside. "Xiao Moxi's face is fine, isn't it? Who was the one who screamed that day?"

"Is she alright?" Xiang Qiuyun no longer hated Xiao Moxi so much, because she now understood a truth: even without Xiao Moxi, Jiang Yi would not have liked her, Xiang Qiuyun. She now had self-awareness.

If only I had understood this sooner, I wouldn't have done so many bad things, and I wouldn't have been led by the nose by Lan Yin.

During the days she spent on the run with Wang Xiaobao, she had grown accustomed to his care. Although Wang Xiaobao was not a good person, he treated Xiang Qiuyun very well. He not only never hit her or talked back when she scolded him, but also took meticulous care of her.

As for Wang Xiaobao's bad habits of stealing chickens and dogs, he promised that he would change them and live a good life with Xiang Qiuyun in the future. Although Xiang Qiuyun did not make any promises, her actions had already shown her attitude. She accepted this man. Otherwise, Wang Xiaobao would not have followed her back.

Knowing full well that there was a risk of being arrested upon returning, he still came back with Xiang Qiuyun.

"Let's go take a look." Wang Xiaobao saw that Xiao Moxi was carrying fruit and nutritional supplements, so he knew she was there to see a patient.

This hospital is not far from the university town, which is relatively remote. Xiang Qiuyun's home is also not far from this hospital. Coincidentally, the cleaning lady who was injured last time also stayed at this hospital.

"Oh, Sister Zhu, the gauze has been removed! Let me see how the wound is!" Xiao Moxi entered the ward and immediately noticed that the gauze wrapped around the other person's arm had been removed, and exclaimed happily.

Sister Zhu wasn't very happy. She sighed and raised her right hand, which was covered in scars. "My hand is ruined. Fortunately, I can still move it freely. It's just not pretty. Oh well, I have a husband and children. I don't need to get married again."

Moxi put down what she was holding, stepped forward, and held Zhu Jie's mangled arm sadly, saying, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me that your hand is like this. That person originally wanted to ruin my face, but I didn't expect you to become the scapegoat."

"Has that person been caught?" Sister Zhu asked. "What deep-seated hatred did he have over you? Why did he want to ruin you?"

“Jiang Yi and I didn’t call the police.” Xiao Moxi shrugged.

Why?

“At first, it was because my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding was coming up, and I didn’t want them to worry,” Xiao Moxi said honestly. “Later, we met that man’s mother at the wedding. The old lady was so pitiful. Her eldest son was already dead, and her youngest son was the one who harmed us. We heard that he had become a wanted criminal who had absconded with the money. It wouldn’t be good for us to kick him while he was down, so let him be.”
