Li Chu rolled his eyes speechlessly; it seemed all that talk had been for nothing.
"Sister-in-law, don't beg me yet. It's not that I'm unwilling to help, but I really have no way. I'm just a doctor who's a soldier. Let alone Guangzhou in the south, I can't even speak up for the police in Beijing."
"Brother Li, I beg you, please help me! He's my only son, I can't live without him!"
Qin Huairu acted as if she hadn't heard Li Chu's words, and just kept repeating her requests.
This made Ding Qiunan, who was standing next to her, frown deeply.
"Sister Qin, calm down. We know you really want to save your son, but you've got one thing wrong. Your son broke the law. He broke the law, he didn't do anything wrong. How do you expect us to help?"
“My son is innocent. He must have been wronged. How could someone as obedient as him break the law?”
“Since you believe he was wronged, and I heard you were there on the day of his trial, why didn’t you say so when you were there? What’s the point of telling us now?”
Li Chu and I are neither police officers nor judges; we're just soldiers working at a military hospital. How could we possibly influence other people's thoughts?
"Then...then could you help me transfer my son to our prison?"
Upon hearing her words, Li Chu stared wide-eyed at Qin Huairu.
Wow, you've got some tactics now. You throw me something you know you can't do, and I refuse.
Then she'll tell you her real purpose, and you'll feel bad refusing her then.
He knew it! Why would someone make such an outrageous request? It turns out this was what they were waiting for.
Ding Qiunan looked at Qin Huairu with surprise, then turned to look at her man.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I can't help you with this. I don't have that much ability, nor do I have the reach to get to the judicial department."
Li Chu refused outright; he couldn't give this woman, who was most prone to taking advantage of him, any hope whatsoever.
Qin Huairu was a little dumbfounded. According to what she and He Yuzhu had discussed, Li Chu should have hesitated this time so that she could stick to him and maybe get him to do something for her.
But……
What are we going to do now? They never expected this to happen.
"Alright, sister-in-law, I can't be of much help. I'm really sorry. Please sit for a while longer, I have some things to take care of."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Qin Huairu to react. He stood up, gave his wife a wink, walked to the door, opened the office door, and went out.
Li Chu's decisive actions completely baffled Qin Huairu. She sat in her chair without saying a word, and he was already gone.
"Sister Qin, I'm so sorry, there's nothing we can do to help. Please have some water."
Qin Huai looked at Ding Qiunan blankly, opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.
She understood that her last hope was now completely gone.
After seeing Qin Huairu off, Ding Qiunan stood in front of the administration building for a while. She had originally planned to go to the outpatient building to find her man, but when she looked at the time, it was almost lunchtime, so she gave up the idea.
...
"Li Chu, what do you think Qin Huairu came up with, that led her to ask us for help?"
"She doesn't have that kind of brain. All she can think about is how to take advantage of others. It must have been He Yuzhu who told her."
At lunchtime, they sat in the corner of the small canteen where they ate every day, chatting about what happened that morning.
"They don't really think you can help get someone from Guangzhou to jail here, do they?"
"It's not impossible for them to bring him back to jail, but the consequences of him coming back might not be better than what he did there."
"What did you say? You can really get it here?"
"Yes, and there's a high chance they'll be brought back, but there's an even higher chance they'll be sent back to the Northwest."
Then Li Chu told his wife what he had told Xu Damao earlier.
"I don't care whether I go to the Northwest or not, just tell me how to bring people back."
"What? You still want to help her?"
"Don't worry about that, I absolutely have no intention of helping her this time."
"I can only say it's possible, but I can't say for sure whether he can come back."
Li Chu took a bite of the steamed bun, and after swallowing it, he said, "You know why Bang Geng ran away back then, right?"
"I roughly know, it seems to be because he got involved in crime and didn't learn to be a good person."
"Yes, that's him. Actually, he's registered with the Beijing Public Security Bureau, but since the cases they've investigated are all trivial matters, the local police haven't bothered to look for him."
However, if Qin Huairu could find a reliable person in the Public Security Bureau this time to reopen her son's case file from back then, and then submit a report citing the need to re-examine several ambiguous cases, she could get her son transferred back from Guangzhou to cooperate with the investigation.
"That's it?" Ding Qiunan asked after waiting for a while and seeing that he didn't continue.
"Oh, this is it? Don't be fooled by how simple it sounds; it's not easy to do. Under normal circumstances, who would want to do this kind of thankless work? You might even get a scolding from your boss."
Actually, if it weren't for her previous restaurant business, asking He Yuzhu for help with this would have been the simplest thing for her.
"What do you mean? How can He Yuzhu help with this?"
“He Yuzhu himself can’t help, but his brother-in-law can. Yushui’s husband is currently in the East City Criminal Police Team, and Banggeng’s previous case was originally from the East City.”
"Oh, I understand what you mean. Ask Xiao Yang for help. It's their case, and it would be perfect if they stepped in to request a reinvestigation."
"Yes, that's right. But even if they go to Xiao Yang now, he probably won't help them."
"Yes, you're right." Ding Qiunan nodded.
When He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu got married, He Yushui strongly opposed it, but they still got their marriage certificate because the two siblings no longer had any contact.
After he divorced Qin Huairu and remarried Cui Chunmei, the relationship between the siblings improved somewhat. After Cui Chunmei gave birth, He Yushui often went to see his nephew, and their relationship returned to normal.
As a result, they divorced last year because of Qin Huairu's messy affairs, and now the brother and sister have completely stopped seeing each other.
To be precise, He Yushui completely ignored her brother.
You still want to go to her because of Qin Huairu's matter? There's no way she'll agree to help you.
"Let's not talk about her anymore. I heard they've started taking clothes sizes again?"
"Hmm, it seems like the document from above says we need to make new uniforms again." Ding Qiunan was also a bit confused. She couldn't understand it either, since the uniforms had just been changed, and some units hadn't even changed them yet.
