Ye Zhenghua rushed as fast as he could, sweating profusely, and finally arrived at the police station.
After registration and security checks, he was finally allowed to enter the visiting area.
Through the thick glass, he saw Meng Zihan, whose hair was disheveled and who looked haggard.
"Uncle! Uncle! Save me!"
The moment Meng Zihan saw Ye Zhenghua, her eyes lit up instantly. She lunged at the glass and shouted at the top of her lungs.
Looking at her unlucky appearance, Ye Zhenghua felt a surge of annoyance.
His tone turned harsh: "What have you done now! Didn't I tell you to behave yourself, to behave yourself? Why won't you listen!"
"Uncle, believe me, I've really been wronged!" Meng Zihan's tears streamed down her face, her voice choked with sobs. "I didn't do those things, someone framed me!"
"Injustice? Hmph, there's no smoke without fire. If you hadn't done anything wrong, why would anyone frame you?"
Ye Zhenghua had heard enough of her nonsense and was not going to believe her.
She should be thankful she doesn't frame others.
"Uncle, I really didn't lie to you, you have to believe me!" Meng Zihan explained urgently, "I really didn't do this, Zhang Tingting framed me!"
"Zhang Tingting?" Ye Zhenghua frowned.
Isn't that the big tree?
Did we really offend them?
Why did she frame you? What's the grudge between you two? Tell me honestly.
Meng Zihan's eyes flickered, and she stammered, unwilling to tell the truth.
"I...I...I'm innocent! She framed me! Uncle, you have to save me!"
Seeing her like this, Ye Zhenghua became even more certain that things were not simple, and his expression turned even more unpleasant.
"How can I help you if you don't tell me the truth? Do you think I'm all-powerful and can solve everything? If you don't tell me honestly, you can expect to spend your life in jail! I don't need to waste my time talking to you anymore."
Meng Zihan's tears flowed even more profusely.
From the moment Ye Zhenghua came in and saw her, he showed not a trace of concern.
They didn't ask her how it was being here, whether she was suffering, or if she was being wronged. Instead, they showed her disdain and impatience.
This is the uncle who raised her. When she fell on hard times, instead of comforting and showing concern, he only offered endless questioning and blame.
Meng Zihan felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her, chilling her to the bone.
She even felt that she was not as good as her uncle's dog; if something happened to the dog, he would probably be heartbroken.
She harbored deep resentment towards Ye Zhenghua and secretly vowed that once she got away from him, she would never speak to him again.
The Ye family shouldn't expect to get even the slightest benefit from her.
But right now, Ye Zhenghua is her only hope. If even he refuses to help her, then she's truly doomed.
"Uncle, I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"
Suppressing her anger, Meng Zihan tearfully recounted what had happened.
This includes how she found Teacher Ma and how she plotted to frame Ye Linchen step by step.
Of course, she shifted all the blame onto Zhang Tingting, saying that she was used and coerced by Zhang Tingting, which is why she made these mistakes.
The reason she was used by her was for the sake of the Ye family.
“Uncle, I did all this for our family! I desperately wanted a good job, and I wanted you to be proud of me, which is why I took the risk…”
After hearing this, Ye Zhenghua looked at Meng Zihan's face, which was barely more attractive than a ghost, and was so angry that his nose almost twisted out of shape.
Even at this point, she still wanted to deceive herself.
Since moving out, she hasn't even bothered to call back, acting as if she wants to sever all ties. How could she possibly care about the Ye family?
Saying it's for the sake of the Ye family is utter nonsense!
That shrew who thinks he's so clever was so easily tricked into being used as a pawn, and even went to harm his own promising daughter. In the end, he didn't get the job done, and he also offended that important person so badly that he had to go to jail for her!
They're more trouble than they're worth!
Ye Zhenghua thought for a moment and asked her, "Have you told the police about these things?"
“I told them, but they didn’t believe me. They said I was a repeat offender, and after framing my cousin, I’m now framing Zhang Tingting.” Meng Zihan sobbed uncontrollably. “Zhang Tingting hired a lawyer. He’s too good. He asked me a few questions and confused me. He pinned all the blame on me, and Zhang Tingting became the victim.”
"Uncle, I can't argue with that lawyer at all. We need to find a lawyer to speak on my behalf. Please help me find one!"
"Hire a lawyer? Do you know how much it costs to hire a lawyer? Where would we get that kind of money?" Ye Zhenghua refused without hesitation. "Besides, even if we hire a lawyer, it might not be able to get you out! You should just stay in there and learn your lesson. Don't trust people so easily in the future."
"No, Uncle! You can't abandon me!" Meng Zihan cried out in despair. "I beg you, please help me! I promise I'll repay you in the future!"
Ye Zhenghua gave her a cold look, turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.
repay?
The best reward you can give me is if you stop making stupid mistakes!
Watching Ye Zhenghua's departing figure, Meng Zihan completely broke down, collapsing to the ground and wailing.
Ye Zhenghua returned home furious, only to find Meng Xueyun already waiting anxiously in the living room.
As soon as he returned, she rushed to greet him, anxiously asking, "Old Ye, how is it? What happened to Xiaohan?"
Ye Zhenghua glared at her angrily, sat down heavily on the sofa, and said, "This is the good niece you raised? I've never seen anyone as stupid as her. No wonder her grades are so bad!"
"Don't yell at her! Tell me what happened!"
Meng Xueyun grabbed his hand and pressed him for answers.
Ye Zhenghua then recounted exactly what Meng Zihan had told him at the police station.
He grew angrier as he spoke, saying bitterly, "You've spoiled this brat rotten! She's pampered, lazy, and doesn't think before she acts. She thinks she'll get away with anything, and now look what's happened! She's caused such a mess, and she might even drag our whole family down with her!"
The twins, who were doing their homework in their room, heard the noise and cautiously came out. After hearing what had happened, they were also terrified.
They never expected that their sister, Ye Linchen, who was studying peacefully at university and hadn't offended anyone, would be framed and encounter such a dangerous situation.
Meng Xueyun, however, felt sorry for her beloved niece, Meng Zihan.
She wiped away her tears and cried, "My Xiaohan! What am I going to do! She suffered so much in there last time, how can she bear it if she goes in again this time..."
"Cry, cry, all you do is cry! Do you have any other skills besides crying?" Ye Zhenghua interrupted her irritably.
"Yes, yes, we need to find a way to get Xiaohan out of here quickly, and we also need to hire a lawyer!"
Reminded by him, Meng Xueyun wiped away her tears and made a decision.
