Luo Yingtao's tearful questioning touched Gao Huai's fragile nerves. Looking at the haggard face of his former girlfriend, he felt mixed emotions. She had been so dazzling at K University. In just over a decade, the years had taken away her youthful appearance and destroyed her body. Thinking of the negative impact this case had brought to her, he felt a little bit sorry for her and his emotions were a little fluctuating.
He looked at Luo Yingtao lovingly, choking up and saying, "Luo Yingtao, I'm actually just like you. I've experienced so much hardship over the past decade or so that I can't help myself. It's made me see through the so-called worldly wisdom, and it's made me hard-hearted, the ruthless person you all call me. I've seen through this hypocritical world, and in my eyes, family and love are worthless. I just want to make more money and create a good life for my wife and children. What I didn't expect was that after all my careful planning for so long, I still miscalculated. Meeting you here like this today was something I never expected. Perhaps it's all fate, a punishment from God."
Luo Yingtao choked up and asked, "Your suffering is your own business. Why are you hurting innocent people? You keep saying you want to give your wife and children a good life, but now you're in prison. How are you going to reunite with your wife and children? Isn't this just a slap in the face?"
Gao Huai closed his eyes in pain and sighed deeply, "Luo Yingtao, I'm so sorry. I've implicated you. When I was planning this case, I was too self-righteous. I thought every step was well-designed and that I could get away safely if I just fled abroad. I underestimated the police's ability to handle cases and their determination to track me down. Now I'm in a state of complete ruin. It's all my own fault."
Thinking of the disaster she had unintentionally caused, Luo Yingtao felt regretful and resentful. She couldn't help crying again, "Gao Huai, your methods are so cruel. Not only did you harm Simingda and Wang Mudan, you also made my life worse than death. I always wanted to buy a house in Nanyou City, but now not only is there no house, but I have also lost my job. I have to make a living by running a small shop in my hometown. I am sick and can't do heavy work. The survival of my whole family depends on Jiang Nanmu. If it weren't for this disaster, how could my life have fallen to this point? Because of your own greed, you have harmed others and yourself. Everyone in this circle has been hurt by you."
Luo Yingtao's shrill sobs made Gao Huai feel even more depressed. He looked at her guiltily and comforted her softly, "Luo Yingtao, don't get too excited. I admit that I did have selfish motives and wanted to defraud Mingdan Company of its money, but I really didn't expect to implicate you. I'm really sorry. Your health is not good, and the environment in your hometown is relatively quiet, which is suitable for recuperation. I will never be able to make up for the harm I have caused you in this lifetime. I have no right to beg for your forgiveness. I only hope that you take good care of yourself and don't blame yourself too much. All the sins will be borne by me alone."
Luo Yingtao ignored Gao Huai's persuasion and continued to cry aggrievedly, "Even if I wasn't sick, I couldn't stay in Nanyou City. My acquaintances in the finance and tax circles in Nanyou City all said that I repeatedly framed my employers and called me unscrupulous and immoral. No matter how I explained, no one believed that I had nothing to do with this. Just because we were in a relationship, they all suspected that we were in cahoots. You're so smart, didn't you consider these consequences at the time? It's no use regretting it now."
Gao Huai lowered his head in pain and said, "Luo Yingtao, it's too late to say anything now. I can only blame myself for being bewildered. I didn't expect to be able to catch her back even when I was abroad. Now I'm a bird in a cage. Let's just treat everything as a dream."
"You went to great lengths to frame someone, but ended up with nothing. Not only do you have to pay for Simingda's goods, but you also have to spend the rest of your life in prison. Is this the kind of life you want?"
"Luo Yingtao, there is no medicine for regret in the world. Now that I'm in this room, I have no choice but to plead guilty and obey the law." Gao Huai couldn't help but lose control of his emotions again due to the strong sense of self-blame. He lay on the table and burst into tears.
Luo Yingtao watched this scene through the fence, and her heart was filled with sorrow. Men don't shed tears easily, but she was just sad. Once upon a time, his wealthy family had aroused the envy of countless classmates. But fate suddenly changed, and this rich boy who grew up in an environment with no worries about food and clothing had to bear the pressure of life alone. Maybe his life was too smooth before, so when he suffered a little setback, he would be at a loss, or even psychologically unbalanced. His character led to his tragic fate, and also made his relatives innocently implicated.
At this time, he was sad about his fate of being imprisoned, worried about his wife and children who had no one to rely on, and also felt guilty for Luo Yingtao who was implicated by him. There is no "if" in life, life cannot be repeated, and there is no medicine for regret in the world. No matter how sincere his confession is, the crimes he committed will eventually be punished by law.
After Gao Huai was deported, the local police immediately notified Li Xiaoliang and Xiaomei. After receiving the notification, Li Xiaoliang immediately accompanied Xiaomei and their two children to the Nanzhong City Public Security Bureau to visit him.
Gao Huai and Xiaomei have not seen each other for three years since their divorce. He missed his two children especially in these years, but in order to make a lot of money, he was willing to take a gamble, betting on the happiness of his family and children, and stayed in Nanyou City to work alone.
When he sent Xiaomei and the child back to his hometown, he never imagined that an ordinary separation would last for three years. When the family reunited again, it was in such an embarrassing situation as the detention center.
After Li Xiaoliang brought Xiaomei and the child to the Nanzhong City Public Security Bureau, after strict security checks and questioning, the police first let Xiaomei into the visiting room.
The reception room was decorated in a very majestic manner, and Xiaomei felt very heavy-hearted. She had never dreamed that one day she would come to this place to meet Gao Huai. In a trance, she thought it was a dream, and she could not believe that the boss of the foreign trade company who was so high-spirited back then had become a prisoner who made people spit. Fate was so unpredictable. While waiting for Gao Huai, Xiaomei could not calm down for a long time. She hoped that all this was not true.
