Ping'an Town Police Station, Chief's Office.

Li Keyong sat in his chair, waiting for Director Ma, who was in the middle of a meeting.

At that moment, Ma Tianhua appeared outside the door.

"Brother Keyong, what brings you here?"

"Old squad leader." Li Keyong hurriedly stood up, stood at attention, and saluted.

"Oh, don't be so polite, we've all retired." Ma Tianhua poured him tea.

The two had served in the same unit and were good friends.

They chatted while drinking tea, talking about everyday matters.

A few minutes later, Li Keyong said, "Old squad leader, you handled Li Longfei's case, right?"

“Ke Yong, this is the answer. You can’t plead for me.” Ma Tianhua immediately became serious.

“I won’t plead for leniency.” Li Keyong hurriedly waved his hand. “What I mean is, regarding the fines, our county must definitely follow the law.”

Ma Tianhua frowned and slowly picked up his teacup.

The air began to quiet down.

After a long pause, he put down his teacup and smiled, "The court will definitely handle the case according to the law, so don't worry."

“Alright!” Li Keyong stood up and said, “Old squad leader, I won’t bother you any longer.”

"Keyong, it's rare for you to come all this way, come to my house for drinks tonight."

"Old squad leader, I'm sorry, I have to pick up my niece to go home. I'll come to visit you again next time," Li Keyong said.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ma Tianhua escorted Li Ke to the door.

Outside the police station.

"Uncle, has the matter been resolved?" Wang Peng asked hurriedly.

"Don't worry, the relevant departments will handle the case according to the law," Li Keyong said. "Let's go home."

When the two returned home, Li Mingzhu had already packed her things.

Her uncle came to pick her up in person, so she definitely couldn't refuse to go back.

Wang Peng drove his three-wheeled motorcycle to take the three of them to the train station.

"Xiao Peng, thank you." Feng Lin grasped Wang Peng's hand and said, "Uncle Feng owes you a favor."

"Huh?" Wang Peng was a little confused.

Feng Lin said, "A few days ago, our driver was drunk and crashed the car, killing himself."

“We didn’t take that car that night. Your uncle flagged down a taxi and took all of us home.”

Feng Lin added.

Wang Peng was taken aback, then suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Li Keyong has already survived the life-or-death ordeal of his previous life.

In the future, Uncle Li may have other accidents, but they won't be related to drinking and driving.

"Uncle, Uncle Feng, this has nothing to do with me, why are you thanking me?" Wang Peng said.

"Don't be modest, I came here specifically to thank you."

Feng Lin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Peng, when you go to the provincial capital another day, you must find me for a drink."

"Definitely." Wang Peng shook hands with him.

Li Keyong glanced at his watch and said, "The train is almost here, Xiaopeng, let's head back to the provincial capital first."

"Brother Peng, I'm leaving." Li Mingzhu said reluctantly.

"Go back now, and don't be willful anymore," Wang Peng said softly.

Leaving a note to her parents and then daring to travel over 100 kilometers to go home with her boyfriend is truly reckless.

"Hmm," Li Mingzhu said softly, "You should pay more attention to Mengjiao and try to persuade her."

"I know, Uncle, Uncle Feng, please come into the station quickly."

The four waved goodbye at the entrance of the waiting hall.

Two months later.

The court held a hearing for Li Longfei's case.

Wang Peng and Li Mengjiao took leave to accompany Li Mengjiao's mother to the court hearing.

Ultimately, the court found Li Longfei guilty and sentenced him to three years in prison and a fine of 10,000 yuan.

The fine was reduced by half; it was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Wang Peng felt grateful to Li Keyong in his heart.

Li Longfei was taken into custody by bailiffs and is serving his sentence in Ping'an County Prison.

In the days that followed, Li Mengjiao became haggard.

Wang Peng didn't know how to comfort her.

The second semester of my junior year of high school, on the eve of the final exams.

That noon, the two walked home together after school.

"Brother Peng, my mom wants to ask you for a favor," Li Mengjiao said.

"What is it? Tell me." Wang Peng stopped his bicycle.

"We'd like to help you with the delivery, is that alright?" Li Mengjiao said timidly.

"Great!" Wang Peng agreed without hesitation. "How about I give her four hundred yuan a month?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mengjiao suddenly burst into tears.

"Don't cry, I really mean it." Wang Peng quickly took out some tissues for her.

He's about to enter his senior year of high school, and the workload at school is getting heavier and heavier. He's overwhelmed with both business and studies.

From now on, the wages for answering the phone and delivering goods will be directly given to Li Mengjiao's mother, Xu Rong.

"Brother Peng, I want to visit my dad in prison," Li Mengjiao said weakly to Wang Peng.

Wang Peng nodded immediately, "I'll go to the prison to apply right away, stop crying...sigh!"

After a long while, Li Mengjiao finally stopped crying.

Wang Peng took her home and saw that Xu Rong looked equally haggard.

She used to be a middle-class lady, but now she has gray hair.

"Xiaopeng, is that matter... alright?" Xu Rong asked with a forced smile.

"Sure, I'll give you four hundred yuan a month," Wang Peng said. "Auntie, you know how to drive a three-wheeled motorcycle, right?"

"Yes, I used to do it all the time at work." Xu Rong immediately beamed.

Wang Peng gave her the motorcycle keys and the keys to the warehouse at home.

"Auntie, let's go to work after we finish eating," Wang Peng said.

"Okay, okay!" She gripped the key tightly in her hand. "Xiaopeng, don't worry, your aunt will never do anything to betray you."

“Auntie, I believe you,” Wang Peng said.

Xu Rong turned and went into the bedroom, then came out with the Santana keys.

"Your uncle said that cars shouldn't be left sitting around for too long, or they'll easily break down."
