Chapter 527 Convicted
Fu Yanchen was smarter than Chu Yue thought. The man didn't even frown. Instead, he looked at Chu Yue with a very shrewd look.
He said, "Comrade Chu, this is a matter between you and me. It has nothing to do with any third person."
Having said that, Fu Yanchen was thinking in his heart that as long as Chu Yue existed, it was the greatest help to him.
The contract was signed quickly. Fu Yanchen waved his hand and gave all the inventory in the grocery store to Chu Yue. As for the employees in the store, if Chu Yue was willing to use them, they could stay. If they were not needed, their wages would be settled and they would be dismissed.
Chu Yue doesn't have to worry about these things. Fu Yanchen's assistant will be responsible for the whole process and hand over Chu Yue's transition period.
This comprehensive work style is really hard to find fault with.
Finally.
Before Fu Yanchen left, his figure suddenly stopped at the door.
Chu Yue looked up at Fu Yanchen in confusion, thinking he had something else to say.
The cold and sinister man suddenly bowed to Chu Yue and whispered, "Thank you for saving my son."
This thank you was completely free of calculation and self-interest. Fu Yanchen spoke with unprecedented sincerity.
Without waiting for Chu Yue to react, he stood up and turned to leave.
At this moment, Chu Yue saw in Fu Yanchen the shadow of the "once bright and gentle boy" in Pei Mingzhu's words, a boy who once existed vividly.
…
That night, Lu Zhanlin came back very late.
When he came back, it was late at night and Lu Yuanbao was asleep.
A bed was temporarily added in the ward. Chu Yue took a shower in the separate bathroom and wiped her hair with a towel in her hand. She saw Lu Zhanlin's face, which was tired but with a hint of joy.
He brought good news, "The case is basically over. The charge is arson. There is no conviction for intentional injury."
Lu Zhanlin felt a little regretful that it was not classified as intentional injury.
However, He Weiguo was there, and there were no casualties, so it was quite difficult to convict him of intentional injury.
Chu Yue was already quite satisfied with the result and asked, "So fast?"
Lu Zhanlin nodded slightly. "He Meijiao is the mastermind. The other accomplices have been apprehended and have all confessed. Deputy Commander Tan and Commander He both contributed significantly to this."
"We'll invite Fang Xiuli and Deputy Commander Tan to dinner someday, and we'll also go visit Commander He and Mrs. He to thank them properly."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"It's late. You haven't slept all day and all night. Go take a shower quickly. Don't worry about anything tonight and sleep peacefully."
"good."
Not long after, the couple lay in the small bed in the hospital, snuggling together quietly.
Lu Zhanlin was really tired. After the high-intensity car chase and the long interrogation, He Meijiao was crazy and not an easy bone to chew. He and Tan Siqi were afraid of more troubles at night, so they decided to make a quick decision.
As soon as he leaned on the pillow, he smelled the faint fragrance coming from Chu Yue and quickly fell asleep.
Finally, in a trance, he asked a question.
"Wife, when are we going home?"
Chu Yue said softly, "Wait a little longer."
Lu Yuanbao could actually be discharged from the hospital today, but Chu Yue was not in a hurry. Lu Zhanlin saw that Chu Yue had other plans, so he did not urge her. After all, they were together as a family, so any place would be fine.
The next afternoon.
Chu Yue and Ye Zhaodi returned to the commercial street. As soon as they appeared, they were immediately surrounded.
"Boss Chu, we're so glad to see you back. We're planning to send a representative to visit you in the hospital. Are you okay? And how are the two children? Are they all right?"
"Boss Chu, you're blessed with good fortune. You'll be fine! Boss Chu, we've all received compensation. Your shop was burned the hardest. Have you received your compensation? When are you planning to reopen? Many of your old customers have been asking about you these past few days."
"Boss Chu, the police officers from the police station have been hanging around here for the past two days, and they've taken quite a few people in for questioning. I heard someone set the fire intentionally, targeting you? Is that true?"
A group of business owners surrounded Chu Yue. Some were worried, some were curious, and some were there just to watch the fun.
All in all, they were all very happy to see Chu Yue return safely.
Chu Yue and Ye Zhaodi answered some questions vaguely, and did not mention anything about He Meijiao. They let the past be the past, and completely turned the page to start a new life.
Chu Yue brought some gifts and went to thank Xu Zhiyi.
On the day of the fire, Xu Zhiyi provided the greatest help to Chu Yue.
After seeing Chu Yue, Xu Zhiyi's first reaction was to look her up and down. Seeing that Chu Yue was fine, he asked nervously, "Where is your child? Is the child okay?"
"It's okay, everything is okay. No one is hurt."
"That's good... That's good... I was so scared when I saw you rushing in that day. Although we have known each other for a short time, I really like you. Now I see that you are okay, it's so good." As Xu Zhiyi spoke, he couldn't help but feel red in the eyes and secretly wanted to wipe away tears.
"It's just like they said, it was she who put..."
Xu Zhiyi also wanted to ask whether the arsonist was He Meijiao, but when the words came out of her mouth, she shook her head and very tactfully did not ask anything.
Xu Zhiyi said, "As long as the person is okay, nothing else matters."
Chu Yue took the initiative to say, "The murderer has been caught, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."
Xu Zhiyi was stunned at first, then laughed, feeling happy for Chu Yue, "Can we still be neighbors in the future?"
Chu Yue replied, "Yes, I will."
At this time, neither Xu Zhiyi nor Ye Zhaodi knew what Chu Yue meant by this sentence.
After a while.
Chu Yue and Ye Zhaodi stood on the street, looking at the house that was now pitch black and looked like ruins after the fire.
Ye Zhaodi's expression was complicated and lonely.
This store was like a new home to Ye Zhaodi. She spent a very happy period of her life there. Whether she was working as a salesperson in the front or organizing the warehouse in the back, all of them were very beautiful memories.
She pointed at the curb in front of the shop and said, "In the spring, we roasted potatoes right here. Sister Yue, me, and Master Pei, the three of us would squat here, eating them with chili powder. It feels like it happened just yesterday. How did it become like this in the blink of an eye..."
This store definitely cannot be renovated in a short period of time.
If we close for more than half a year, all the word-of-mouth customer base accumulated earlier will be lost.
How could Ye Zhaodi not feel uncomfortable?
At this time, Chu Yue patted Ye Zhaodi's shoulder and said, "Zhaodi, if the old doesn't go, the new won't come. Look back—"
