Chapter 112 The next few days were peaceful and quiet, and Qiao Yanyu returned to her usual routine of spending every day with He...
The next few days passed peacefully, and Qiao Yanyu resumed her usual routine of accompanying He Zhao to their stall every day. The only difference was the addition of Wang Yu, who was always there to help. Qiao Yanyu's injuries hadn't fully healed, and until she was fully recovered, Wang Yu would act as a third party to assist her.
One is that they can take Qiao Yanyu home after the stall ends, and the other is that they can help out in case of any emergency.
Wang Yu had fully realized that she was just a tool in He Zhao and Qiao Yanyu's lives, but she was also open-minded and didn't think it was a big deal. Anyway, she hadn't lost out; getting to ship them up close was a win for her.
People can easily become fans of a couple, especially considering that she indirectly brought this pair together; Wang Yu felt even more smug. At the same time, Wang Yu couldn't tolerate anything that might threaten her couple. Therefore, she not only didn't mind this little task of quietly protecting her couple, but was actually very happy about it.
Especially when she saw He Zhao and Qiao Yanyu being intimate together, she couldn't help but smile like a doting aunt: It's sweet! It's so sweet! I'm dying for it!
Days passed peacefully, but the tall guy was getting impatient. He had asked several times if they had found his wife. He Zhao and Qiao Yanyu both understood that they couldn't hide it any longer; they could probably only keep it a secret for a few more days before they had to tell the tall guy everything.
Because if a ghost develops negative emotions like impatience and these emotions are not relieved in time, the yin energy on its body will become heavier and heavier, which will then affect its other thoughts, and it will gradually turn into an evil ghost.
So, the truth about keeping it from the tall guy won't be hidden for much longer.
Wang Yu was aware of this matter as well. She had overheard Qiao Yanyu and He Zhao talking about how the tall wife might be targeted. However, Wang Yu remained optimistic. She was a bit unreliable and more of an optimist, and most of the time she wouldn't think the worst of people. She simply said, "There shouldn't be such a thing. Besides, there are people watching over there, so there won't be any problems."
In fact, quite a bit of time has passed since the tall man died, and his wife and daughters haven't had any problems. So the current issue is still how to clear things up with the tall man. It's just that, when everyone was a little complacent, something really happened to the tall man's wife and daughters.
While He Zhao and Qiao Yanyu were having dinner and preparing to continue their stall that evening, Qiao Yanyu received a phone call. The person on the other end felt very guilty, realizing that just like Wang Yu had become somewhat lax, the personnel they had sent to keep an eye on the tall man's wife and daughter had also become negligent, resulting in the tall man's daughter being bullied at school in a corner they hadn't noticed.
The tall man's wife discovered the incident. After finding some pen-like puncture wounds on her daughter's body, she immediately called the police without even communicating with the school.
These pen stab wounds, on the tall girl's back, are in a location that's difficult to reach on her own, let alone leave such deep marks. There's no other possibility than that she was intentionally harmed. Therefore, after she reported the incident to the police, the officials took it very seriously, instructing a female officer to comfort the tall girl and find out who had bullied her.
It was at this time that the relevant intelligence was passed on to the personnel in charge of the tall man's security, and then it reached Qiao Yanyu.
The perpetrators of the bullying against the tall girl have been located, and the ringleader and teachers from the school have arrived at the police station for mediation. Although the tall girl was indeed harmed and the police are taking the matter seriously, the perpetrators are minors, and given that it took place in a school setting, everyone hopes to resolve the matter peacefully and avoid litigation.
By the time Qiao Yanyu received the call, the two sides were still deadlocked at the police station. After listening to the entire conversation, Qiao Yanyu had the documents sent over. Relying solely on verbal communication inevitably leads to omissions, while documents are a better way to gather all the information.
Qiao Yanyu didn't just look at it herself; she even passed it on to He Zhao so that she could look at it too.
He Zhao initially hesitated, saying, "Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
"It's okay, I'll take responsibility if there's a problem."
He Zhao then downloaded the information and began to read it. Sure enough, the information contained some details that had not been mentioned during the phone call. The child who led the bullying of the tall girl's daughter had actually received donations from the tall girl before, and not just once or twice, but for a full two years.
His family background is quite heartbreaking; both his parents are deceased, and he lives with his elderly grandmother, helping her with scavenging. Therefore, in the phone call just now, the person in charge referred to the ringleader and the school teacher, without mentioning their parents.
However... whether this child knows that the tall girl is the daughter of the kind person who donated to him is not mentioned in the information, so it is currently unknown.
He Zhao's sixth sense kicked in at that moment; she had a feeling that the child... most likely knew. Although she didn't know how he found out, He Zhao still felt that he was bullying her because he knew she was the daughter of his benefactor.
Otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence; how could it happen that she would bully the daughter of her own donor?
Before even seeing the child, He Zhao had already formed a judgment in his mind: the child was an ingrate.
He Zhao knew it wasn't good to judge others like this, but the situation was right in front of her, and she couldn't make any other assessment of the child.
The call also reached Wang Yu, who immediately created a small group chat for the three of them and initiated a voice call. He Zhao answered and put it on speakerphone, while Qiao Yanyu simply didn't answer.
As soon as the call connected, Wang Yu's voice rang out: "Senior Qiao, Boss, have you seen the information? They're still at the police station. I'm planning to go check on them. Do you want me to pick you up on my way?"
"Okay, let's go." Qiao Yanyu agreed in a deep voice, then simply said, "Hang up." Qiao Yanyu hung up the phone, her brows slightly furrowed, seemingly troubled. He Zhao, unaware of Qiao Yanyu's thoughts, asked directly, "Sister Qiao, is the situation really that difficult?"
“Hmm…” Qiao Yanyu was silent for a while before saying, “The tall guy’s wish is obviously related to his wife and daughter. Although it is not his own wish to become a ghost, if he knows that his wife and daughter are in trouble, given his current state, he might do something extreme.”
They had analyzed it before; the tall guy was currently quite unstable because he hadn't been able to find his wife, and the ghost had become extremely agitated. Furthermore, since he spent his days at that pork shop, there were bound to be acquaintances nearby. If he learned from them that his daughter was being bullied at school, he might do something extreme.
So far, the tall ghost has been a good one, never harming ordinary people or affecting anyone. Even when capturing Lin Gao, he only sat on him to avoid hurting him. Clearly, Qiao Yanyu didn't want to destroy such a ghost directly, but rather planned to let it reincarnate.
"This matter needs to be resolved quickly."
Wang Yu arrived quickly. She even took the time to borrow a large truck from the police station. After picking up He Zhao and Qiao Yanyu, she drove straight to the police station. However, just as she was about to arrive, someone called to say that the mediation was over for the day and both sides should prepare to go home. The matter wasn't resolved yet; the tall man's wife and daughter demanded an apology and compensation for the medical expenses incurred in taking their daughter for further treatment.
However, the other party stubbornly insisted that they had done nothing wrong and refused to take responsibility.
Because he felt sorry for the child, he tried to mediate between the two sides, which infuriated the tall man's wife. In the end, the meeting ended badly, and the police could only arrange to come to the police station again the next day for further mediation.
When Wang Yu drove to the police station, he saw the tall man's wife and daughter come out, followed hurriedly by the school teachers, while the bully walked slowly behind, not in a hurry at all.
He stopped Zhang Shuyao's tall wife at the door. He was still a little out of breath from walking quickly. After grabbing her, he said urgently, "Zhang Shuyao's parent, please listen to me. This is a matter between the two children, and they are about to take the high school entrance exam. There's no need to make a scene like this."
“You don’t know that child’s family situation; it’s really tough. There might be some misunderstanding between the two children. We can talk things out; there’s no need to…”
Hearing these words, the tall man's wife couldn't hold back any longer. She brushed the teacher's hand away: "You want me to pity him? Who will pity my daughter? Didn't you see the state of her back? So many wounds from being poked by a pen, new wounds on top of old ones. Besides these, who knows what else he did to my daughter! He doesn't even regret it at all, and you still say it's unnecessary?! Let me tell you, I came here intending to report it as intentional assault. If the people at the police station hadn't persuaded us for so long, I wouldn't have wanted to mediate at all!"
The teacher realized she had misspoke, paused, and then continued, "I was wrong, but Zhang Shuyao's family is really pitiful. He doesn't have a father or mother, he just lives with..."
"Enough! I don't want to hear any of this! No matter how pitiful he is, that's not a reason for him to lay a hand on my daughter! Nor is it a reason for me to forgive him! That's enough for today. If he still can't show me a satisfactory attitude by tomorrow, I will file a lawsuit!"
"Hey, Zhang Shuyao's parent..."
After the tall man's wife and daughter left, the bullying brat slowly came out. The teacher spoke to him briefly, but because his voice was too soft, the three people in the car didn't hear him.
At this moment, Wang Yu was sitting in the driver's seat, He Zhao was in the passenger seat, and Qiao Yanyu was in the back. Wang Yu watched the two people go in different directions and subconsciously asked, "Are we going to find the tall guy's wife and daughter now?"
He Zhao looked at Wang Yu with surprise: "Why are you going to find them? Go find that little bastard and find out what happened. What good will it do you to go to the victim?"
"ah……"
Wang Yu scratched the back of his head, looked at Qiao Yanyu, and only nodded when he found that Qiao Yanyu didn't react either.
