Xiaomei could sense Gao Huai's inner panic even through the screen: "Why can't I contact you? How long are you going to hide?"
Gao Huai could understand Xiaomei's grievances and dissatisfaction. At this point, he felt deeply sorry for Xiaomei and the child. Not only did he fail to let them live a good life, but he also made them live in fear and suffer from other people's contempt. But there was no turning back.
He couldn't answer Xiaomei's question directly for the time being, so he had to change the subject: "Did your uncle send you any money?"
"I gave him 50,000 yuan."
"Are the children okay? I miss them so much." Gao Huai is most concerned about his two children, which is also the nature of many middle-aged men.
"If you care about them, why did you commit this crime? Do you know how much impact you have had on our lives? You are hiding abroad and it doesn't matter, but have you ever considered how difficult life is for me and my two children? All this is your fault."
Xiaomei had suppressed too much resentment in her heart. Now that she had finally contacted Gao Huai, she vented all her dissatisfaction.
"Xiaomei, I'm sorry, but please listen to my explanation. The reason I did this is to give them a good life. Three years ago, I was scammed and lost over two million. I've been trying to recover the losses over the past few years. This time, I made several times the profit. From now on, we won't be looked down upon by relatives and friends anymore."
Although Gao Huai knew that he made a lot of money from the case he planned, it was a fatal blow to Mingdan Company. However, he didn't want Xiaomei to question his character, and he always wanted to justify his despicable behavior.
"Is this the good life you're giving me? I don't even dare to open my shop now. Everyone in the neighborhood knows my husband is a fugitive, and even my child is being talked about. You fled abroad and dared not come back, leaving all the disaster to us. Why do you want me and my child to pay for your fraud?"
Thinking of the contempt and ridicule that she and her child had suffered, Xiaomei felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. Three years ago, Gao Huai insisted on divorcing her on the grounds that he was losing money in business and did not want to implicate her and her child. Before she could come to her senses, she created this shocking case, once again pushing her and her child into an abyss of no return. Although she and Gao Huai had always had a good relationship, after experiencing one storm after another, her feelings for Gao Huai had been exhausted, and all that was left in her heart was resentment.
"Xiaomei, don't worry. This situation is only temporary. I'll find a way to get you out after a while, and then our family of four can be reunited."
Gao Huai patiently comforted Xiaomei. He really underestimated the police's ability to handle cases. At this time, he actually had the crazy idea that he could hide in Country G for the rest of his life.
"What did you say? Let us go to Country G to reunite with you?" Xiaomei was shocked by Gao Huai's ignorant proposal. He was living a free and easy life abroad, not knowing that his relatives at home had long been under close surveillance by the police.
"Yes, you can bring the children and apply for tourist visas. We can stay in Country G as illegal workers. As long as we live here for a certain number of years, we can apply to stay here. I have money now, so I won't have to worry about not getting documents."
Gao Huai was self-righteously intoxicated in the beautiful blueprint he had envisioned, and was confident that he could escape legal punishment.
As expected, Xiaomei immediately rejected this unrealistic proposal: "Gao Huai, are you still dreaming? It's already this late, and you're still thinking about asking me to take the children abroad? Do you really think the police are just there to do nothing? I've already been under residential surveillance. How do you think I can get out?"
"They can't stop you from going out, right?" Gao Huai asked in confusion.
"That's not the case. It's just that all my documents are on the police surveillance system. I can't get any documents at all. How can you let me go abroad to reunite with you?"
Xiaomei and the child are Gao Huai's immediate family members. Like Li Xiaoliang, they have been under house arrest for a long time. The purpose is to lure Gao Huai out. As for Gao Huai's proposal to let them go abroad, it is simply a fantasy.
"You can find an agency to handle it. They have many illegal channels. Try to find a way out. I believe that as long as you have the money, you can get it done. I have enough money now to cover your expenses in Country G."
Gao Huai racked his brains to defraud a huge sum of tens of millions of yuan. He believed that "money makes the world go round" and that those agents who handled going abroad were omnipotent. As long as he gave them more money, he would not have to worry about not being able to complete the procedures for going abroad.
"Don't think that money is omnipotent. The police have already set up a tight net. Even if I have obtained the documents, the customs have a facial recognition system. How can I pass the inspection? I advise you to return to China and surrender yourself. Only by surrendering yourself can you reduce your guilt and allow us mother and son to be freed as soon as possible and live a normal life." Xiaomei persuaded earnestly.
"Are you stupid? If I go back and turn myself in, won't all my efforts for this year be wasted? I've been planning this for so long just to escape the country and find a new environment to recuperate. No matter what, I will never go back and turn myself in."
Faced with Xiaomei's sincere and reasonable persuasion, Gao Huai's attitude seemed very tough.
"Gao Huai, your family went through hard times during those years, and some relatives did help a lot. Why do you keep dwelling on the past? The police told me that if you return to China and surrender yourself and repay the debt owed to Mingdan Company, you can get a lighter sentence. On the other hand, if the working group comes and arrests you, you should be able to imagine what the sentence will be."
"No matter what you say, I will never go back and turn myself in. I considered the consequences when I made this deal. I can't just give up. Otherwise, what's the point of going through all this trouble? Otherwise, it will all be for nothing, just to spend more than a decade in prison? You underestimate me."
