Zhou Yun learned from the office worker that the man had been arrested, so he called the director's office three times, but still no one answered.

She called Li Shengnan again.

"Hello, Shengnan, I'm your stepmother. Something big has happened. Please come back quickly. Your father has been arrested. Please find a way to rescue him."

【What happened? Who caught you?】

"I heard from the driver Xiao Ma that it was related to the theft of the Liao family's account books."

[I understand. I'll go to the workplace to find out the situation first.]

The Li family hired two maids and a driver. When they learned that Li Jianmin had been arrested, they quickly packed up their things and ran back to the countryside. They were arrested as accomplices and that was the end of them.

As soon as Zhou Yun put down the phone, he saw three people queuing up with bags on their backs, walking out on tiptoe.

She called out to them, "Hey, stop right there. What's in your bag? I want to check. Who knows if you stole anything from our house?"

Zhou Yun is a snob and is harsh to his servants. He agreed to pay them 20 yuan a month, but if they did something wrong, he would deduct a little from their salary. 18 yuan a month was considered a lot.

During the Chinese New Year and other holidays, they are asked to stay and work, but they do not receive any benefits and do not receive any salary increase.

They have only worked here for two or three years and have no feelings for their employers. They have long been fed up with their harsh treatment. Since they cannot share the good times or the bad times, it is best to run away as soon as possible.

The maid explained, “We didn’t take anything.”

Zhou Yun was filled with rage, with nowhere to vent it, so he took it out on them. "You poor bastards, you can't even afford three dishes in your lifetime. I don't believe you'd just leave without getting paid. You must have stolen something valuable from my house. Open it quickly, I want to check."

"Look all you want, look all you want. What we took are all our own things. If you find even one of your things, I will immediately turn myself in to the police station."

They opened the cloth bags and found a few sets of clothes they had brought with them and some daily necessities.

I didn’t bring anything else, and I don’t even plan to ask for this month’s ten-day salary.

The driver, Xiao Ma, said, "We can go now. Money obtained through corruption and bribery is not clean. We won't accept it even if it's given to us for free. We're afraid we'll choke to death if we eat it."

Zhou Yun gritted his teeth, "You..."

The maid said, "Hmph! Let's go."

They packed their bags, put them on their backs and were ready to leave.

At this time, Zhou Yun's son Xiaojian came downstairs tired from playing upstairs. As soon as he reached the stairs, he saw Zhou Yun and shouted, "I'm hungry, Mom, Mom, I'm hungry. I want to eat. I want to eat delicious food."

Children aged eight or nine are most likely to feel hungry. They are big in size and eat a lot. They may finish a meal at around ten o'clock and want to eat again at one o'clock in the afternoon. After dinner, they may also have a midnight snack.

Zhou Yun suppressed his anger and patiently advised, "It's only half past ten, not even noon yet. Let's eat later."

Such a big thing happened at home, and she was upset and had no mood to care about such a small matter. It didn't matter if she skipped a meal, as long as she didn't starve to death.

Xiao Jian refused to give in, holding his round belly and stamping his feet, "Mom, Mom, I'm hungry."

Zhou Yun had no choice but to put on a sullen face and said to the two servants who were walking to the door, "Wait, you can't leave yet. Cook my son's last meal before you leave."

"We don't even want this month's salary, why should we cook your last meal? We're leaving now."

"I'll pay you guys, okay? You stay for a few more days and I'll find new people so you can leave. I'll also pay you the 10 days' wages, one dollar a day, okay?"

For these poor guys, one dollar a day is a huge sum of money. They will definitely stay.

In the past, they would stay and work like slaves for just over 10 yuan a month. No matter how they were insulted, enslaved or exploited, they would not leave easily. With one yuan a day, that's 30 yuan a month, so they made money.

However, the driver and the maid ran away without looking back.

They won't do it even if it's one dollar a day or ten dollars a day.

"Mom, mom, I'm hungry." Xiao Jian walked up to her and waved his arms around, scratching and scratching her face and neck.

“Bang!——”

The chubby little hand slapped Zhou Yun's still red and swollen face.

Zhou Yun had only felt a burning pain on his face before, but now it felt like there was a fire burning on it.

Her face was gloomy. Thinking that he was her son and her only support in the future, she lowered her raised hand and patiently advised him, "Wait, Mom will find you some snacks first and cook later. Your dad got into trouble and was arrested. You are almost ten years old. You have to be sensible, understand?"

Zhou Yun searched for snacks under the coffee table and found a box of walnut cookies and a large bag of White Rabbit milk candy.

She hadn't cooked for more than ten years, so she was not used to it and was not in the mood to cook at the moment.

At this time, there was movement at the door again.

Zhou Yun's heart was in his throat, and he was like a frightened bird when he heard any noise.

"Shengnan, you're back?"

She ran to the door, but found that it was not Li Shengnan.

They were police officers in police uniforms, and they came to arrest people and look for stolen money.

Zhou Yun continued, retreated to the living room, hugged his son, and looked at them with fear.

"You, what are you doing here? My man has been captured."

"We know that he has admitted his crimes and explained the location of the assets he embezzled and accepted as bribes."

Zhou Yun thought that as long as Li Shengnan came back with the money, there would still be room for recovery. He didn't expect that things had developed to an irreversible point.

What would happen to her and her son's future lives? She trembled all over and shook her head desperately, "This can't be true, it can't be true. I don't believe it. We don't have any stolen money. Get out, get out!"
