Zhong Xuyang was taken aback by the impact, but he wasn't angry. He nodded in agreement, "I know the person who did the work up there has to be tired. I'll try my best to recover as soon as possible so you can relax and enjoy yourself."
Last night, Xiao Yao kept her promise. Because of his leg injury, she took the initiative at first. As she enjoyed the rare moment of being in control, she thought she could have a pleasant and relaxing experience. However, even while lying down, he decided to end things in time. He held her waist until he exhausted her strength.
Xiao Yao angrily threw a pillow at him, but Zhong Xuyang caught it easily and said gently, "Don't be angry. I've made breakfast and arranged a car. Get up, wash up, and have breakfast. I'll come pick you up and Zhao Xun to go to H City as soon as we get off the bus."
It turned out that this person had gotten up early to help her arrange her return to H City. Xiao Yao yawned, rubbed her eyes, and decided to forgive him for the time being.
When Xiao Yao and Zhong Xuyang came downstairs, a minivan was already parked at the door, and a middle-aged man was standing next to the car.
Zhong Xuyang drove his electric wheelchair up to the man and said, "Old Zhao, thank you for your hard work this time."
Zhao Xun joked, "My boss told me I'm working hard, so I'm under a lot of pressure."
Zhong Xuyang is approachable and treats his employees like friends. He says, "Try to help me out. My wife's friend is pregnant, it's not easy for her."
"Don't worry, I will definitely do my best."
Zhao Xun took Xiao Yao's suitcase and put it in the trunk. Zhong Xuyang turned to Xiao Yao and said, "Don't look at your phone on the way, or you'll get carsick again. Call me when we arrive."
Xiao Yao bent down to straighten his collar and asked in a low voice, "When did I become your wife?"
Zhong Xuyang looked up and smiled, saying meaningfully, "Weren't you calling me 'husband' all the time last night?"
"You forced me to do that!"
They won't stop unless you shout!
"How did I pressure you? Haven't I always been loving and caring towards you?"
"Zhong Xuyang!"
"You should call him 'husband' instead, it sounds better."

It was already afternoon when Xiao Yao and the others arrived in H City. Knowing that Gu Yueji was anxious, they didn't wait until the next day, but called Gu Yueji and went straight to her house.
When she and Zhao Xun arrived, Gu Yueji, Qian Mingjun, Gu Jiahui, Sun Xiaohui, and Lian Renyajuan were also waiting.
Xiao Yao pulled Gu Yueji's hand and looked closely at her face.
Gu Yueji's eyes were red and swollen, and her face looked tired, but her gaze was firm. "Thank you, Yao Yao."
Xiao Yao patted her hand, "Don't be so polite with me. Just tell me if there's anything I can help with."
Subsequently, Qian Mingjun and Zhao Xun recounted in detail the entire incident of Xu Wangde's fall to his death, including the cause and effect of Xu Wangde's theft and subsequent dismissal by Ren Jin.
Gu Yueji listened silently, feeling that she hadn't shown enough concern for Ren Jin. He rarely talked about the construction site at home, and even when he did, it was usually just funny or amusing stories to cheer her up. So when Qian Mingjun mentioned that Uncle Xu had an accident, she couldn't immediately recall who he was talking about. She didn't know that Ren Jin had so many worries at work.
Gu Yueji felt increasingly distressed as she thought about it, and the thought of Ren Jin being detained in a detention center caused her even more pain.
Zhao Xun's words brought her a glimmer of hope: "According to Mingjun's description of the matter, Ren Jin has no responsibility, at least no legal responsibility."
Everyone present was stunned.
A surge of joy welled up inside Gu Yueji, but she tried to suppress it and asked as calmly as possible, "Really?!"
Zhao Xun smiled and nodded at her. "Yes, firstly, Xu Wangde has already been dismissed; he wasn't a worker on the construction site. Secondly, Xu Wangde didn't fall to his death while working; he went to the construction site on his own and threatened to kill himself to blackmail Ren Jin for money, which was an accidental fall. It wasn't a safety accident. If the situation is correct, Ren Jin will most likely just be detained for investigation. I'll go to the detention center later to find out more."
Gu Yueji was overwhelmed with joy. Ever since Ren Jin was arrested, she had been restless and unable to eat or sleep. Last night, she woke up several times and couldn't help but shed tears when she saw the empty space on the side of the bed where Ren Jin had been. This news gave her an unbelievable sense of unreality, and she was also afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Xiao Yao noticed her unease and gently patted her back to comfort her, "Don't worry, Brother Xun is highly professional and experienced. If he says it's okay, then it's okay."
Gu Yueji grasped Xiao Yao's hand and looked at Zhao Xun, "Thank you so much. Ren Jin and I don't understand anything about law, so we can only rely on you."
Zhao Xun smiled politely and stood up. "You're welcome. It's what I should do. You know the general situation now. I'll hurry to the detention center to find Ren Jin."
Gu Yueji also stood up, "I'll go with you."
Zhao Xun glanced at his watch. "It's getting late and I'm in a bit of a rush today, so it'll be more convenient for me to go by myself."
Gu Yueji didn't dare to delay him. "Okay, okay, thank you for your trouble. Please contact me anytime if you need anything."
Ren Yajuan came over and helped Gu Yueji up, saying, "Yueji, don't worry, Xiaojin will be home soon."
Gu Yueji stared at the door and nodded. Yes, she should soon be able to see Ren Jin push open the door and come home.
However, just when Gu Yueji thought everything was going in a good direction and the ordeal was about to end, she was unaware that a sudden wave of cyberbullying was coming at her and Ren.
