Chapter 163 You Will Get Your Retribution

Having said that, the man left, ignoring her frantic state.

She tried to throw a tantrum without caring about her reputation, but no one listened.

She could choose to leave or stay at the police station; no one paid any attention to her anymore, everyone was too busy.

In the end, she had to ask someone, "Where is Wang Jinghui?"

The police officer who was stopped by her looked bewildered, because he was not in charge of this case.

"The person you arrested before, the one... the one related to the Wen family."

Xu Shanshan's reminder made the police officer realize, "You mean the suspect who abducted Commander Wen's daughter?"

Xu Shanshan was very unhappy with what the police officer said, and her face turned very pale. "It's not human trafficking?"

The police officer looked her over and asked, "Who are you?"

Just then, the police officer in charge of the case passed by, and the officer she was questioning called out to her, "Old Zhu, we're looking for your suspect."

Officer Zhu's gaze fell on Xu Shanshan, "Ms. Xu, you..."

“I want to see Wang Jinghui,” she said.

Officer Zhu glanced at her again but did not object.

——

Xu Shanshan broke down when she saw Wang Jinghui's appearance, "...You, how dare you take such drastic measures against people?"

"Do you know this is illegal?" she shouted shrilly.

Officer Zhu disagreed, saying, "He resisted so fiercely when we arrested him that he was injured; it has nothing to do with us."

“If you don’t believe me, ask him,” Officer Zhu told her to ask Wang Jinghui.

Wang Jinghui glanced at Officer Zhu, choosing to swallow his anger. He reached out to Xu Shanshan through the iron bars, indicating that this was unimportant. "Shanshan, explain to them, tell them quickly that you made me do what happened back then. I did it entirely... entirely because I listened to you!"

Officer Zhu didn't know how Xu Shanshan felt after hearing Wang Jinghui's words, but he frowned deeply as he listened. He thought the man was shameless.

He always blames women for everything, showing no sense of responsibility whatsoever.

But Xu Shanshan didn't seem to think so. She grabbed the fence and nodded to Wang Jinghui, "Yes, I said I said you sent her away according to my request."

Wang Jinghui breathed a sigh of relief. "When can I go out?" he asked in a low voice.

Xu Shanshan glanced at Officer Zhu beside her and whispered, "They said they can only release you after the verification is completed. You... wait a few days."

Wang Jinghui didn't believe the so-called investigation at all. He grabbed Xu Shanshan's hand and said, "Shanshan, I won't lie to you, my face and body are covered in bruises from Wen Changyu. He... he won't let me get away with this..."

"Bang, bang," Officer Zhu's expression immediately turned cold. He raised his hand and knocked on the iron fence in front of Wang Jinghui, then reminded Xu Shanshan, "Ms. Xu, visiting hours are over."

"He's deliberately getting back at me. I can't stay here. He won't let me go. He'll kill me. Get me out of here! Get me out of here, Shanshan..." Wang Jinghui screamed desperately.

Whether it was Wang Jinghui's shouting that had an effect or not, Xu Shanshan made up her mind that afternoon and went to Wen Changyu and said, "I'll give you all my savings and I'll move out of the house. The condition is that you can't retaliate against Jinghui anymore and you have to let him go."

Looking at the face he had seen for almost thirty years, Wen Changyu felt both familiar and unfamiliar. He wanted to say something, but Wen Jinshu shook her head slightly at him.

Then Wen Jinshu took a stack of papers and placed them in front of Xu Shanshan, "Take a look. If you think there are no problems, you can sign them."

Xu Shanshan glanced at it, and her expression quickly changed. "What do you mean?"

Wen Jinshu explained, "I told you before, if you want us to let that guy surnamed Wang go, everything must go to my dad!"

"But what do these mean?" Xu Shanshan asked, her face trembling as she held the papers in her hand.

Wen Jinshu pushed up his glasses. "According to what I found out, you transfer between 500 and 300 yuan to that person surnamed Wang every year. This does not include the cash you give him."

“That’s for your sister’s expenses,” Xu Shanshan shouted without any guilt.

"Let's not even talk about whether you can prove that the money was actually spent on your sister. Even if you could prove it, so what?"

"If my sister hadn't been lost, would we need this expense?"

"Besides, now that you've abandoned your sister, does that mean we don't have any expenses for raising a daughter?"

"You spend more than just a few hundred yuan on clothes for Wen Qianqian every year, right?"

"Where is my sister?" Wen Jinshu was actually very good at controlling her emotions, but at this moment she couldn't help but turn red with anger.

“You need to return all the money you transferred to him, as well as the money you withdrew from your account after you left home, or you can expect that guy surnamed Wang to spend the rest of his life in jail.”

“You…” Xu Shanshan glared at Wen Jinshu. The injuries on Wang Jinghui’s face told her that she had no choice.

But Wen Jinshu was always aloof and didn't fall for her act at all.

After Wen Jinshu first realized that her mother was too biased, she no longer craved maternal love, so she was not bound at all.

Seeing that Wen Jinshu wasn't buying it, Xu Shanshan looked at Wen Changyu instead.

But Wen Changyu said, "After I finish these things, I'll have someone deliver the divorce certificate to you."

Xu Shanshan was used to being arrogant, and she thought Wen Changyu would speak up for her, but he didn't. She couldn't lower her head, so she simply left in anger.

Just before she left, Wen Jinshu reminded her, "Don't wait too long, or our family won't be able to withdraw the case."

Xu Shanshan stopped in her tracks, turned around and stared at Wen Jinshu, saying each word clearly, "You will get your retribution."

These words angered Wen Changyu so much that he stood up abruptly.

Wen Jinshu pressed down on his arm and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll wait."

When Xu Shanshan got back, she started looking for money, but she didn't have any money on her at all, and the money she had taken out earlier had all been given to Wang Jinghui.

Wang Jinghui was still in the detention center, so Xu Shanshan could only ask Wen Qianqian, "Qianqian, how much money do you have on you right now?"

"Ah, money? I don't have any," Wen Qianqian thought Xu Shanshan was starting to suspect her of stealing money again, so she immediately said no.

“I have all the money you gave me before, the money I didn’t spend,” she said, getting up again to show Xu Shanshan, afraid that she wouldn’t believe her.

Xu Shanshan waved wearily, then turned and went out.

She went to cancel her lease. Braving the snow, she walked to the street corner, found the landlord, and asked to cancel the lease, but the landlord naturally refused.

Xu Shanshan could only invoke the Wen family's name, "How is what you're doing any different from the landlords of the old society?"

The old landlord shuddered. What became of the old landlords...?

The landlord refunded all the money to her.

But her identity was questionable; what commander's wife would come out alone in the snow to do this?

But Xu Shanshan's clothes and demeanor were indeed quite good. The landlord thought that even if she wasn't the commander's wife, he probably knew her. It was best not to mess with someone like that!

Neither side suffered any significant loss.

Xu Shanshan paid the rent and braved the snow to get home. It was already dark when she arrived. While she was downstairs, she slipped and fell because she didn't see the steps clearly.

The steps were trampled on, turning the pure white snow into a puddle of slush, so she slipped and fell, getting covered in mud.

Most importantly, falling on the steps really hurts.

She was in so much pain that she couldn't get up for a long time.
