A moment later, He Chunlei came out and said, "Let's go." He had already guessed that he probably wouldn't be able to return to his wife and children anytime soon.
Do you regret it?
He Chunlei didn't know that the reason he made the decision to accept the money that day was simply to improve the lives of his whole family.
If there was a mistake, he felt it wasn't serious.
After all, the other party said that they would not harm their colleague Song Lan's life.
-
Hongxing Machinery Factory.
Old residential area.
"Are the officers from the police station looking for me?"
Song Lan looked at Wei Shengli to confirm.
"Yes, it was Officer Lin who came looking for you, saying he wanted you to go to the police station to identify someone."
After Zhao Xiao'e shared her suggestion with the police station chief, the chief dispatched Hou Qing'an and Lin Chang'an to contact He Chunlei and Song Lan respectively. Hou Qing'an called the machinery factory but was told that He Chunlei was not at work that day.
So, he asked for He Chunlei's address and rode his bike there. He found no one home. Based on what he had overheard on the phone, he guessed that He Chunlei was probably taking his wife to the health center to give birth. That's how Hou Qing'an ended up at the health center.
Lin Chang'an, on the other hand, rode his bicycle directly to the machinery factory.
He was told that Song Lan was resting at home. He wanted to go to her house himself, but he didn't know where she lived. Later, Deputy Section Chief Fang of the Security Department arranged for Wei Shengli to go and call Song Lan.
At this moment, Wei Shengli said, "If you don't want to go to the police station, I'll tell Officer Lin that you're not feeling well..." Before Song Lan could speak, Wei Shengli thought that Song Lan was inconvenienced by the need to identify people, so he couldn't help but offer his suggestion, not wanting to put Song Lan in a difficult position.
He didn't mean anything by it; he simply considered Song Lan a friend, so it was natural for him to side with Song Lan.
"I'll go."
Song Lan responded, but she still said "thank you" to Wei Shengli.
"Not difficult?"
Wei Shengli asked.
Song Lan smiled and shook her head: "It's just about recognizing people, what's so difficult about that? I also want to see who's really messing with me." She shifted her gaze to Qin Yanzheng: "I'll be back soon."
"Let Wu Dong go with you."
Qin Yanzheng was a little worried. Upon hearing this, Song Lan shook her head: "No need, it's not like I'm going into a dragon's den or a tiger's lair."
“Brother, how about I go with your wife? Anyway, the police station isn’t far from the town’s middle school. Once your wife recognizes the person, I’ll go straight to the school.”
Qin Yanzheng then interjected.
"Then I want to come along."
This is Qin Yaxin's voice.
Since they had already had lunch, going to the police station was convenient for them.
What are you going to do?
Song Lan disagreed, saying, "Rest well at home before going to school." After saying that, she told Wei Shengli to leave.
"Big brother!"
Qin Boyan looked at Qin Yanzheng.
"If you're going, why aren't you following me!"
Qin Yanzheng glanced at his foolish younger brother.
Upon hearing this, Qin Boyan hurriedly walked out of the living room, pushed his bicycle, and went out of the courtyard.
Qin Yaxin: "Second brother, wait for me!" She jogged to catch up.
"Sister-in-law!"
Song Lan rode her bicycle alongside Wei Shengli. When she heard Qin Boyan's voice behind her, she sighed helplessly. When Qin Boyan caught up with Qin Yaxin on his bicycle, she said, "There's no need to go to the police station with me. You can go directly to the school."
"don't want."
Qin Yaxin was the first to disagree, humming as she said, "I'm going to see who hired someone to deal with my sister-in-law. If I recognize the person, I'll give them a good dressing down!"
“Sister-in-law, you either go to work or stay at home every day, and you haven’t offended anyone. I also want to see who wants to harm you.”
Qin Boyan said expressionlessly, "Just like Qin Yaxin said, I won't be polite to acquaintances either!"
"I'm glad you're protecting me, but don't forget, I'm going to the police station, not somewhere else. Do you really want to vent your personal grievances in front of the police officers?"
Upon hearing Song Lan's words, Qin Boyan and Qin Yaxin were both taken aback. After a moment, Qin Boyan said, "I'm not trying to vent my personal anger; I want to reason with the person who persecuted you."
Qin Yaxin chimed in, "Sister-in-law, my second brother is right. We're trying to reason with them. There's nothing to do with venting personal grievances. You don't need to worry about us causing trouble at the police station."
"With the officers from the local police station here, you don't need to overstep your bounds."
Still trying to reason?
Did they all think they could fool their sister-in-law?
Shaking her head inwardly, Song Lan said, "If you don't want to go directly to school, then stand aside and keep quiet. If you can do that, I'll allow you to come along. Otherwise, I'll personally escort you into the school."
"..."
Qin Boyan and the other man remained silent for a moment, then spoke in unison, assuring each other, "Yes, we can do it!"
-
Upon arriving at the security office, Song Lan didn't linger. She and her siblings, Qin Boyan and Qin Chang'an, then went to the police station.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
In the interrogation room, Hou Qing'an questioned He Chunlei.
"How is Comrade Song from our security department?"
During the questioning, Hou Qing'an did not mention Song Lan in front of He Chunlei, which is why He Chunlei asked this question now.
He didn't know why the police officers had come to him, but the fact that he was there meant that they already knew what he had done. Now that he had confessed everything, he just wanted to know if Comrade Song Lan had been harmed.
To be honest, it would be a lie to say that He Chunlei felt no guilt towards Song Lan.
After all, she agreed to work shifts with him out of kindness, but little did she know that he actually had ulterior motives, namely, to make things easier for those who wanted to harm her.
They're utterly unworthy of being human!
"Now you're asking about Comrade Song Lan's safety. When you agreed to do someone a favor, did you ever consider that Comrade Song Lan might encounter some misfortune? After all, in this world, there are many things you can't be too afraid of, even if you think you're safe. What you think is just what you think."
This doesn't mean that the person asking you for favors will actually do what she says and won't harm Comrade Song Lan's life, nor does it mean that the person she hires will be able to maintain proper boundaries when disciplining Comrade Song Lan.
Furthermore, don't you have a sense of right and wrong? Would you really take advantage of your colleague's kindness and disregard her comfort just for a benefit offered by someone else?
He Chunlei was so ashamed by Hou Qing'an's words that he lowered his head and did not say a word in his defense.
"Alright, don't you think it's a little too late for you to feel ashamed now?"
Hou Qing'an said, "Fortunately, Comrade Song Lan is skilled in combat. She not only subdued the three thugs who were trying to harm her, but also protected the factory's property."
Hearing this, He Chunlei breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that something might have happened to Song Lan last night. If that happened, he would have been aiding and abetting evil, and he would have a guilty conscience for the rest of his life!
In another interrogation room, Song Lan saw that Cui Hongxia hadn't spoken for a long time. Seeing this, Lin Chang'an got the answer he wanted without asking anything.
That is, Song Lan knew the middle-aged woman they had captured, and the woman also knew Song Lan.
After all, their expressions said it all.
Moreover, Qin Boyan and his sister's expressions were extremely unpleasant at this moment.
As a police officer, Lin Chang'an's professional competence would have made it impossible for him not to notice.
