After giving their statements, Lin Chacha was released on bail first, but Song Cheng could not be released on bail yet because those thugs insisted that he was the one who stabbed the person. Song Cheng could not leave the police station until more evidence was found.
“Those bastards! A whole bunch of them surrounded Song Cheng. Zhang Yu was fighting with Song Cheng. So many people were beating up Song Cheng, and he didn’t have a knife. He didn’t stab him. It’s all my fault. If I had come down faster, I wouldn’t have hurt Song Cheng.” Lin Chacha cried nonstop after coming out.
It turned out that two months ago, Zhang Yu had asked her for money. Lin Chacha knew about his drug use and was not allowed to lend him money, but Zhang Yu suddenly knelt down in front of her. "Chacha, considering that I helped you before and that you earned money on the construction site, please lend me 10,000 yuan. I promise to pay you back in a few days, okay? Please?"
Seeing this grown man so humble, Lin Chacha felt a pang of pity. Despite her usually carefree and short-tempered nature, she was actually quite soft-hearted. However, instead of giving him 10,000 yuan, she only gave Zhang Yu 6,000 yuan, knowing she probably wouldn't get that money back.
I heard that Zhang Yu and Wang Shi are going through a divorce. Zhang Yu has been kicked out of the Wang family, but his son stayed with them. Speaking of which, it was Wang Shi who caused Zhang Yu to get addicted to drugs. Wang Shi herself is a big addict. Luckily, their child is fine and quite healthy.
After being kicked out of the Wang family, Zhang Yu lost interest in doing business and spent his days hanging out with a group of idle people. He squandered the six thousand yuan that Lin Chacha gave him in just two days, but he didn't immediately come back to Lin Chacha, probably because he felt embarrassed.
I don't know how he got through those days, but two months later he came to see Lin Chacha again. Just tonight, he called Lin Chacha and said he was downstairs in her apartment complex and asked her to come down. If she didn't come down, he would go upstairs and knock on her door.
"I'll go down and check. You watch the child and don't go out. If anything happens, call the police immediately," Song Cheng said.
Lin Chacha had put her three children to sleep, and more than twenty minutes had passed. She went to the balcony to look down, but she couldn't see the situation clearly. Her home was on the sixteenth floor, and it was nighttime, so it was no wonder she couldn't see clearly.
However, she could roughly tell that a group of people were gathered together, as if they were about to fight. Lin Chacha was worried about Song Cheng, so she went out and downstairs without thinking.
After she came down, she saw Song Cheng being surrounded and beaten by those people. Lin Chacha rushed over to help without saying a word. She had just knocked out two people when her phone rang. She didn't know why she was distracted by looking at the caller ID. When she saw that it was her older sister calling, she answered immediately.
In that moment of distraction, Zhang Yu was stabbed. The group of men surrounded Song Cheng and started beating him. Lin Chacha couldn't care less about him at the moment and stepped over to knock the others unconscious.
That's roughly what happened. Later, the police arrived; it's unclear who called the police. Then, Lin Xiazhu and Bai Ruan also arrived.
Zhang Yu also came to ask for money today. He not only came alone but also brought a group of people. He said he wanted to borrow money, but Song Cheng definitely wouldn't give it to him. So, the people he brought wanted to force him, to beat Song Cheng, and to steal his money or cards. But it was late at night and he didn't have anything on him. When the people found out, they were so angry that they wanted to beat him up to vent their anger.
"Sister, how did Zhang Yu turn out like this? I kindly helped him once, but he clung to me and now he's ruined his own life and even hurt Song Cheng. I hate him so much." But thinking that Zhang Yu was already dead, she couldn't bring herself to scold him any further.
In the end, the culprit is Wang Shi. If she hadn't gotten Zhang Yu into that drug, how could Zhang Yu have ended up in this state? But since she took a liking to Zhang Yu, married him, and had children with him, why did she drive him away now?
"Where is Wang Shiyu? What exactly happened between her and Zhang Yu?" Lin Xiazhu asked Lin Chacha.
"I don't know either. I only know that Zhang Yu was kicked out of the Wang family. Zhang Yu didn't go into details that day." Lin Chacha was a carefree person and had no interest in other people's business. She gave Zhang Yu money not only because of their past friendship, but also because she wanted to get rid of him quickly and not see him again.
Lin Xiazhu looked at Bai Ruan, "An, about this matter..."
"I'll send someone to investigate. Don't worry too much. With a legal team, Song Cheng will be out soon," Bai Ru'an said confidently.
"Cha Cha, come stay at our house tonight," Lin Xiazhu said.
Lin Chacha shook her head, "No, the child is still at home. I've been away for so long, I have to go back and check on him."
"I've lost my mind and forgotten about the children. How about this, I'll go to your house." She was worried about Chacha and wanted to stay by her side.
She looked over at the net, and Bai Ruan nodded. "Take good care of Cha Cha, I'll take care of the children." Her twin sons had been weaned for several months, and now they only need a bottle of formula every day to supplement their nutrition, so it's okay that Lin Xiazhu isn't around.
However, they can't be apart for too long, otherwise the two little ones will start crying and looking for their mother.
Back home, Lin Chacha couldn't help but hug Lin Chacha and burst into tears. She hadn't lost her composure in the car because her brother-in-law was there, and had been suppressing her emotions, but now she really couldn't take it anymore.
Lin Xiazhu also shed tears. She knew what Chacha was thinking. Chacha had been locked up in her hometown before. It was clearly not her fault, but she was locked up for more than half a month. She must have been very scared when she was alone inside. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time. How could she not be scared?
She must have a shadow in her heart, but she hid it so well that no one could see the wound she buried deep inside. Lin Xiazhu hated herself for being so heartless, only realizing it now.
"It'll be alright, it will definitely be alright. Your brother-in-law will definitely find a way to get Song Cheng out." The Bai family has that capability.
“It’s my fault that Song Cheng got into trouble. I shouldn’t have answered Zhang Yu’s call. I shouldn’t have given him money last time, which made him cling to us. He only came to me because he knew I would be soft-hearted and easy to talk to. He doesn’t even dare to come to you.” Lin Chacha is now extremely regretful. She shouldn’t have met with Zhang Yu again.
"It's not your fault. Zhang Yu is out of his mind. He's desperate. If he wants to come looking for you, you can't avoid him. It's just that he suddenly disappeared. If he were still alive, he would probably come looking for money from me next time." It's a pity that Zhang Yu never comes looking for her, otherwise she would have just taken him to a juvenile detention center.
After spending the night at Lin Chacha's house, Lin Xiazhu and Lin Chacha took the three children to school together after breakfast the next day, and then Lin Chacha returned to the Bai family home.
In the car, Lin Chacha sniffled and said in a tearful voice, "I don't know how to tell the children."
When her son and daughter woke up in the morning and didn't see Song Cheng, they asked where their father had gone. Lin Xiazhu made up an excuse for him, saying that Song Cheng had gone to the shop because a customer was in a hurry to get materials.
"Should we say Song Cheng is away on a business trip?" Lin Chacha didn't want the children to worry with her.
"We can't hide it from them, so let's tell them. Xiao Ran and Xiao Yu are both sensible now, and the little princess is well-behaved. They have the right to know what happened at home." Overprotecting the children might not be a good thing, and Lin Xiazhu believed that Bai Ruan would not let anything happen to Song Cheng.
