"Boss, what do we do now?" the man in black behind Xie Zhi asked for instructions.
"Go to the police station." He said each word carefully, determined to find out who this important person was who didn't want to let Lan Yin go.
Xie Zhi believed Su Xiaonuan's words without a doubt. If it weren't for that, he would have rescued his woman long ago, instead of being like a headless fly, unable to find his way.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to beg Su Xiaonuan.
As he passed Li Chunxiang, he didn't even glance at her, and said to the man in black, "Let her go, come with me!"
Li Chunxiang was ultimately not freed.
She reached into her mouth, pulled the handkerchief out of her mouth, threw it on the ground, spat out the dirt and sand in her mouth, and then quickly ran to Xie Zhi's side, grabbing him. "How could you do this to me?"
Xie Zhi gave her a look of disgust. "Can't you shut up for a minute? Your daughter is about to be sentenced to prison, and you still have the nerve to argue with people? Can't you see I can't even get her out of trouble?"
“I think this is all Su Xiaonuan’s doing. Everyone knows she has good connections with the police.” Li Chunxiang’s face hardened. “If you ask me, stop begging here and there. Let me go to the street and hold up a sign accusing the police of abusing their power for personal gain. Make them lose face, and then they will release the tacit information.”
"Do you really think those people are pushovers?" Xie Zhi snorted. "Go back now, and don't cause any more trouble."
“What do you mean by causing trouble?” Li Chunxiang said, looking fearless. “You’re a big boss, you can’t afford to lose face. I didn’t ask you to do this. I’m saying I’ll do it myself. Anyway, I’m a stubborn person by nature. I’m going to go to the street or the police station with a sign saying I’m innocent and let’s see what they can do to me. If they dare to hit me, I’ll stick to them.”
Li Chunxiang acted as if she were a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.
Xie Zhi hesitated.
The man in black beside him seized the opportunity to speak up. "Boss, why don't we let her give it a try?"
Xie Zhi had tried everything he could in the past two days, pleading with everyone he could and giving gifts, but he still couldn't rescue Lan Yin. Logically speaking, the fire damage wasn't significant, and he could have rescued Lan Yin with some money, but he couldn't save his woman no matter how hard he tried.
"Then go ahead and give it a try!" Xie Zhi was also at his wit's end, so he waved to Li Chunxiang. "Anyway, it's not me who will be embarrassed. If Lan Yin causes me trouble later, don't blame me."
“I won’t blame you! I won’t blame you!” Li Chunxiang was immediately energized when she saw that he agreed to do it. “These officials are afraid of the people making trouble. As long as someone dares to make trouble, they will let it go. The more you beg and plead, the more they will have you under their thumb. As long as I’m willing to risk everything, they won’t dare to do anything to me.”
"Okay, we'll do it your way. I'll go back and put pressure on the children to beg Su Xiaonuan. We'll use both methods to try and get Lanyin out as soon as possible. She's lost weight while she's been locked up inside, and it breaks my heart to see her like that." Xie Zhi planned to use Xiaotian and Xiaoli as pawns.
“Then find a big sign, write the words on it with a brush, and I’ll hold it up and walk all the way to the police station. Let’s see if they dare not play the censorship.” The resentment in Li Chunxiang’s eyes grew deeper and deeper.
...
Su Xiaonuan and her family were happily eating when Aunt Chen ran in crying, begging for help. "Xiaonuan, something terrible has happened! Please go and save Xiaotian and Xiaoli!"
Upon hearing Aunt Chen's cries for help, everyone at the table put down their chopsticks and came out to greet her.
"Aunt Chen, what happened to Xiaotian and Xiaoli?" Su Xiaonuan rushed forward and helped Aunt Chen up, asking with concern.
"The boss said that if you don't get the police to release Lanyin, he will give the two children away," Aunt Chen said, sobbing. "Xiaotian and Xiaoli were tied up and beaten by him. He said Lanyin was unlucky because the children were too close to you."
"This is outrageous!" Su Xiaonuan clenched her fists. "Let's go, I'll go save the children."
"Xiao Nuan, don't go yet!" Aunt Chen pleaded, pulling her along. "Why don't you call the police station first and ask them to release Lan Yin? Otherwise, the children will suffer, and it might even implicate those good people."
"Aunt Chen, I have to hurry and save Xiaotian and Xiaoli right now," Su Xiaonuan said irritably.
“Xiao Nuan, listen to me. They put up a sign saying that you have connections with the police. Li Chunxiang is going to hold that sign and parade through the streets to accuse the leaders of abusing their power for personal gain, saying that they deliberately framed Lan Yin because of you. Li Chunxiang also said that if anyone dares to touch her, she will hold a grudge against them.”
Su Ming felt the situation was serious and stepped forward to whisper, "Xiao Nuan, go make a call. Don't make things difficult for the leaders. They are all good people. It's a shameless shrew to be stuck with like this. If she goes out in the street and holds a sign, the uninformed masses will easily misunderstand."
"Dad, I know." Su Xiaonuan ran into the living room and called Director Lu, telling him about Xie Zhi and Li Chunxiang's methods.
Director Lu burst into laughter. “Comrade Su, how can you underestimate us like that? Do you think we’d be afraid of her underhanded tricks? The fact that they’re doing this shows they’re truly desperate. Don’t be afraid, the innocent will clear themselves, and the people have discerning eyes; they won’t believe the words of such a crazy woman.”
“Director Lu, I don’t think this matter needs to be blown out of proportion. Arrange for Xie Zhi to take two thousand yuan to redeem Lan Yin, and donate that money to the orphanage,” Su Xiaonuan said. “Let Xie Zhi bleed a little, otherwise, I’m afraid he will hurt the two children. This kind of inhuman man only has beautiful women in his eyes and can be ruthless to his own flesh and blood.”
Su Xiaonuan wasn't afraid of Li Chunxiang and Xie Zhi's antics; she was more afraid that Xiaotian and Xiaoli would get hurt. Since the two children called her their godmother, she had a responsibility to protect them.
Otherwise, she would never have compromised.
What could make her compromise was never those unreasonable people, but rather her pity for the two children.
After hanging up the phone, Su Xiaonuan went to the yard and said to Aunt Chen, "You can go back now. The children are alright, and Lanyin will be back soon."
"Really?" Aunt Chen cried tears of joy. "Then Xiao Tian and Xiao Li won't be given away."
Watching Aunt Chen run off, Guoguo tugged at Xiaonuan's hand and pleaded, "Mommy, take me to see Brother Xiaotian and Sister Xiaoli. I'm so worried about them. I want to see them. They're so pitiful."
"Mom, I also want to see Brother Xiaotian and Sister Xiaoli." Dou Dou tugged at Su Xiaonuan's other hand and waved it.
"Auntie, I want to go see them too." Tie Suo looked at her with pleading eyes.
Xiao Tian and Xiao Li have lived in this house for a few days and have already formed a deep friendship with the children.
Especially DouDou and GuoGuo, they already consider XiaoTian and XiaoLi as family.
“Sister-in-law, you take them there. I’ll go ask Aunt Zhang for help.” Xiao Moxi said with a heavy heart, “They’re abusing their children. Aunt Zhang will bring people to deal with them. If that doesn’t work, we can also call the neighborhood committee.”
“The neighborhood committee has been closed for a long time, don’t go!” Su Xiaonuan said.
"Then can we invite Aunt Zhang?" Before Su Xiaonuan could speak, Xiao Moxi had already run out.
