Chapter 199 Arrested by the guards!
Xie Jianshe felt deeply guilty about what had happened before, both towards his family and Zhou Ye.
But what puzzled everyone was Zhou Ye's attitude.
After this incident, she didn't say anything unpleasant to Xie Jianshe, nor did she give him a cold shoulder, which even made Wang Guihua feel deeply uneasy.
Xie Yanli knew that Zhou Ye and Xie Jianshe were in the provincial capital because they brought her, their older sister, gifts several times after they arrived.
Originally, I came here with my child to visit Zhou Ye. I also wanted to visit Zhou Ye's grandfather, since he is an elder.
However, to his surprise, he saw Wang Guihua, which was a pleasant surprise, so he stayed there that day.
That evening, Xie Yanli secretly said to Wang Guihua, "Mom, what do you think Jianshe will do about that woman's matter?"
To be honest, that little girl is no good, just like you just told me. I don't think that father and daughter will let this go.
Wang Guihua paused for a moment, then sighed. She felt something pulling at her mind, a tug at her heart, and a fleeting moment of discomfort.
Thinking about what happened during the day, I felt a little guilty towards Xiao. I also felt a fleeting moment of disappointment towards my own son.
She knew about it and didn't blame her son. But the problem was that he allowed that girl to use such tactics in front of Xiao Ye.
After thinking for a moment, he sighed deeply.
He said to Xie Yanli, "No matter what, let's treat Xiao Ye well first. Let him handle the construction issues himself."
Don't let Xiaoye have any bad thoughts. Make some jujube cakes for Xiaoye tomorrow.
I remember that Xiao Ye really liked the jujube cake you made.
Xie Yanli nodded in agreement.
Remembering the help Zhou Ye had given her in the past, she felt a sense of disappointment and frustration towards her younger brother.
Thinking about it, I'm also a little worried about my younger brother.
Although she works at a police station, her workplace is completely different from her brother's.
Considering the possible background of the Shen family, it's clear that Shen Yan was able to transfer to her current position at the Public Security Bureau. Her background must be quite good; I've heard her father holds a high position, being a department head in the Forestry Bureau.
I don't know if confronting Jianshe and him will affect my future, but then I think, what's the big deal if it affects my future?
That's his own wife being wronged! He remembered the grievances he suffered at the Zhou family's hands, and Xiao Ye had already stood up for him.
I can't be so heartless. This time I must stand on the same side as Xiao Ye. After thinking about it, I cheered myself up.
I must make something delicious for Xiaoye tomorrow and be her strongest support.
Xie Jianshe was not a smooth talker.
I made breakfast for Xiao Ye myself early in the morning and brought it to her room.
Zhou Ye didn't seem to react much. He simply thanked Xie Jianshe in a very calm manner.
Xie Jianshe felt somewhat frustrated.
When I went to work, I could clearly sense that something was wrong with him. Feng Lei was a friend of Xie Jianshe, and also a friend of Shen Yan.
But actually, he seems to be closer to Xie Jianshe. It's just that Shen Yan is a girl, so he usually speaks up for her more often!
He patted Xie Jianshe on the shoulder and asked, "Jianshe, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
What does he actually know in his heart?
He knew that Shen Yan went to the Xie family yesterday. He originally thought she went to apologize. Could something else have happened?
Xie Jianshe is not the kind of person who shares everything with his friends.
He waved his hand to indicate that he was fine and then went back to his normal work.
A short while later, Shen Yan appeared wearing a camel-colored wool coat, the hem of which reached her calves. Matching sheepskin boots in the same color gave her an air of elegance and sophistication.
But the expression on his face clearly didn't tell the whole story.
With a face full of grievance, she entered the office, glanced at Feng Lei, then pouted and walked towards Xie Jianshe.
Feng Lei immediately realized something was wrong!
Her voice trembled slightly, sounding a little aggrieved, and her eyes were slightly moist as she looked at Xie Jianshe, as if he had made a terrible mistake.
"Brother Jianshe, are you still angry with me today?"
Xie Jianshe glanced at him. His voice was calm as he said, "Shen Yan, please return to your post."
This statement is serious and cold.
Shen Yan clearly couldn't stand this attitude. She stomped her foot, and tears streamed down her face.
Sniffing, she forced a brave expression and said, "Brother Jianshe, I know. You'll always be on your wife's side."
Then you don't have to forgive me, it's okay.
Although we are comrades-in-arms, how can I compare to my sister-in-law?
After a pause, seeing his own compromise, Xie Jianshe did not react in any other way, nor did he try to comfort him.
The resentment in my heart has reached a new level.
The resentment in his eyes almost overflowed from the corners.
The hatred she felt for Zhou Ye was further amplified.
Shen Yan turned and left, filled with anger and resentment.
She really couldn't understand it, and she really didn't comprehend it.
Aside from his better looks, what else does Zhou Ye have that I can't compare to? When did Brother Jianshe become so superficial?
Biting her lip, she thought: Zhou Ye, I will definitely not let you get away with this.
So she decisively returned to her office and made a phone call with a gloomy expression.
Xie Jianshe had always believed he would shield Zhou Ye from all hardships. He had always thought so. It was a firm belief in his heart.
The moment he married Zhou Ye, he knew that Zhou Ye didn't really love him, but protecting Zhou Ye was his most steadfast conviction.
Just like the saying goes: My liking you is my own business, it has nothing to do with you.
However, he never expected that this storm was brought to Zhou Ye by his own hand.
After settling into his new home, Zhou went to take a look at the new house...
He then went straight to his workplace.
However, on my way home at noon, I was stopped at the entrance of my workplace.
Zhou Ye looked at the person who had stopped him; their clothes were so dazzling that his eyes flickered slightly.
I never imagined I'd be dealing with people from this department. Huh?
Luo Ge originally intended to report some things to Zhou Ye.
Seeing this, he was about to lead his men to rush up and snatch the person away when Zhou gave him a look, signaling him to step back first!
Brother Luo was extremely worried!
Those were guards!
If they just take him away like that, he'll be lucky to escape with his life!
He realized something was wrong!
He ran quickly towards the Xie family's house, but Xie Jianshe did not seem to have returned.
Wang Guihua knew Brother Luo. Zhou Weiren also knew something about Brother Luo.
So he asked, "Are you Xiaoye's friend?"
Brother Luo nodded immediately: "Yes, Auntie, I just saw Miss Zhou being taken away! It was the guards!"
"Clang!"
Wang Guihua was so frightened that she dropped the basin she was holding!
"What?"
Seeing her mother was frightened, Xie Yanli quickly went over and helped Wang Guihua sit down. Zhou Weiren, on the other hand, staggered a few steps…
He asked urgently, "Are you sure you're one of the guards?"
Brother Luo nodded: "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. I wanted to go up and take him away, but Miss Zhou hit me and wouldn't let me go."
Zhou Weiren sat down to calm himself down; he knew he had to stay calm at this moment. Xiao had also been taken away by the guards; it was clearly impossible for this to be unrelated to Shen Yan and his son from yesterday.
He silently cursed in his heart.
Wang Guihua had obviously thought of this as well.
Grabbing Brother Luo anxiously, she asked, "Young man, I need your help with something. Please go to the police station right away and notify my son, Xie Jianshe! Go quickly!"
Tell him to go home right away, to go home right away!
Brother Luo nodded and ran off.
Wang Guihua sat down on the stool in anger, slapped her thigh, and scolded, "How can this little girl be so troublesome? We invited her to our home as a guest, and we treated her kindly. But instead, she just makes trouble for no reason."
Xiao Ye is such a kind and well-behaved child. Why won't she let her go? If she has something to say, she should take it out on Jianshe!
What does this have to do with my Xiaoye? Does Jianshe dislike her and blame Xiaoye too? What a fool!
Wang Guihua was so anxious that she clenched her fists and her face turned pale.
They didn't even have time to cook in the kitchen...
They were in a hurry to go out.
Xie Yanli quickly grabbed her: "Mom, where are you going?"
Wang Guihua became anxious: "What should I do? I should go check on Xiao Ye. Where exactly did they take Xiao Ye?"
She hasn't even had lunch. Xiao Ye must be starving!
Those people will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. What if they hurt Xiao Ye?
How am I supposed to explain this to the construction company?
Wang Guihua became increasingly frightened and anxious as she thought about it; Xiao was only a teenager.
Why am I so unlucky?
But at this point, she also had some complaints about her son. That brat, he just disappeared when it mattered most.
Thinking this to himself, he said it aloud: "Where did Xie Jianshe go? Doesn't he know to come home?"
Zhou Weiren muttered to himself, "Since Shen Yan and her father dared to take Xiao Ye away so openly, they must have been holding Jianshe back."
This father and daughter are both extremely malicious.
Zhou Weiren is right. Xie Jianshe is currently busy with a new case at work!
He was so busy that he barely had time to do anything else, so he could only say to Feng Lei without looking up, "Lei, could you please tell my family that I won't be going home for lunch today? There's just too much work to do at the office."
Feng Lei replied, "Brother Jianshe, I'll go get you some food first. Then I'll go back to your house."
Xie Jianshe nodded; he still trusted Feng Lei.
Feng Lei was carrying a lunchbox when he ran into Shen Yan who was walking by.
Shen Yan asked with a grin, "Brother Lei, where are you going?"
Feng Lei sighed and said, "It's because I'm too busy with work. Jianshe hasn't even had time to eat. I'll go tell his family that I won't be going back for lunch. I don't want them to worry too much."
Just as he was about to leave, Shen Yan stopped him.
Shen Yan tugged at Feng Lei's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Brother Lei, you know that Brother Jianshe and I have some misunderstandings, and Brother Jianshe still can't forgive me."
I apologized yesterday, but it backfired!
Ugh, I'm so anxious. How about I go and talk to him for Lei?
I've been to the Xie family's place before; I know the way very well.
Anyway, the road isn't very far, I'll just go and come right back!
Go get food for Jianshe-ge; it seems the cafeteria is serving braised pork today. If you go too late, it might be sold out.
Feng Lei's first reaction was a slight jolt in his heart!
But then I thought, Yanzi had done missions with them before. Although she was a bit mischievous, her character and morals were absolutely fine!
Even if he's a bit stubborn with Construction Bro, he shouldn't be capable of doing anything wrong.
After thinking about it, I realized I was overthinking things. How could I have such bad thoughts about Sister Yanzi? They're comrades-in-arms!
Then I thought of the food in the kitchen...
He smiled and said to Shen Yan, "Alright, then I'll trouble my little sister Yanzi to go and tell the Xie family."
Brother Jianshe has elderly people and children at home!
Don't keep your family waiting too anxiously.
"Thank you for your hard work, little swallow."
Shen Yan smiled and playfully jumped around on the spot.
He shook Feng Lei's sleeve and said, "Brother Lei, don't you believe me? I promise to complete the mission."
Looking at the lively and adorable swallow, Feng Lei gave a guilty laugh.
How could I have thought of Sister Yanzi like that just now?
I feel a little guilty now...
"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen, let's split up."
Shen Yan made a gesture that the group was familiar with, and then left.
Leaving the police station, Shen Yan turned and headed straight for the park, a cold smile playing on her lips. She thought, "I deliberately stalled Jianshe. To the Xie family? Ha..."
Isn't this ruining my plans? Brother Lei, thank you for your trust.
But I have no choice, little sister, I have to use you this time.
After taking a walk in the park, I returned to my workplace and happened to run into Feng Lei, who was returning from washing dishes.
Feng Lei was surprised by Shen Yan's speed.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Yanzi, you're fast! You're back so quickly!"
Shen Yan smiled and said playfully, "Brother Lei, I was worried that the Xie family would be anxious, so I ran there."
Finally, he made a face at Feng Lei and ran away.
Feng Lei smiled helplessly, muttering, "This girl is incredibly lively; most people couldn't handle her."
Finally, I gave a wry smile: I wonder what kind of guy this girl will end up with? He'd better be pretty tough, or he won't be able to handle her.
He shook his head helplessly and took the bowl and chopsticks back to his office.
Shen Yan returned to her office, a cold smile playing on her lips. She recalled the scene from just moments ago.
Brother Luo met Shen Yan at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau.
He didn't know this woman!
Seeing Shen Yan's uniform, he quickly greeted her.
"Excuse me, could you please call Comrade Xie Jianshe for me?"
Shen Yan sized up Brother Luo, who didn't seem uncomfortable at all. After all, he didn't look like a nice person. It was normal for others to have some opinions about him!
He was used to it and still said politely, "Miss, I'm sorry to trouble you!"
Could you please call Comrade Xie Jianshe for me? Something happened at his home. I'm very anxious to find him.
Shen Yan smiled slightly, her face full of innocence and kindness, and asked softly, "Comrade, don't be in such a hurry."
I went in and called out to him, then pretended to have walked around the first floor before coming out and politely said to Brother Luo, "I'm really sorry."
Comrade Xie, he's extremely busy. Could you tell me what it is? I'll go and inform him.
Brother Luo was very anxious, so he raised his voice a little: "Miss, could you please let me in for a moment?"
Shen Yan frowned and said with difficulty, "This is the police station. Please don't make things difficult for me. Not everyone can go in here."
Brother Luo certainly understood this principle, but he was really too anxious. If something happened to Miss Zhou, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
He used to work for Mr. Su, now he works for Miss Zhou. In his heart, he already considers Zhou Ye to be his master.
He didn't want to see Zhou Ye get hurt in any way.
He was already feeling terrible about being taken away right under his nose, and he really didn't want anything to go wrong when he asked for help.
The girl in front of him seemed gentle, kind, and intelligent. She shouldn't be a bad person, Luo thought to himself.
Shen Yan looked conflicted, thinking that he definitely couldn't let this person in; he must be looking for Xie Jianshe now because of Zhou Ye.
If he finds Xie Jianshe, wouldn't the whole plan fall apart?
Even if we can't really do anything to Zhou Ye, at least let her suffer to vent our anger...
Shen Yan knew she had to get rid of Brother Luo at this point, otherwise, given this stubborn man's attitude...
He'll definitely find someone else to talk to Xie Jianshe!
We absolutely, positively must not let Xie Jianshe know about this.
At the very least, he must not be allowed to find it before Zhou Ye has suffered enough.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Brother Luo, "Don't rush, wait here for a bit. Xie Jianshe is currently working on a very tricky case, but it's confidential, and you can't let anyone else know. I'll go in now and ask him for you. You wait here quietly for me."
Shen Yan went inside the building again.
Did she really go to look for him? No! She didn't!
She simply watched Brother Luo from a more convenient vantage point on the second floor.
After about 5 minutes, Brother Luo's expression became increasingly anxious, and he looked like he was about to rush in.
Shen Yan jogged out.
He ran up to Brother Luo, covered in sweat!
Shen Yan's voice trembled slightly...
He said to Brother Luo, "Comrade, you should go back first. I have already spoken to Comrade Xie Jianshe."
Comrade Xie asked me to inquire what exactly happened. Could you please relay this message to me?
Brother Luo knew this matter couldn't wait any longer, so he quickly said, "Tell Comrade Xie that his wife has been taken away by the guards. This is extremely urgent, so please make sure to inform him."
Shen Yan's eyes lit up.
My heart is filled with joy. Did I take it away? Wouldn't that be a success?
That's wonderful!
However, he appeared extremely anxious on the surface!
"What? My sister-in-law has been taken away by the guards."
Brother Luo nodded decisively.
Shen Yan anxiously instructed him, "Comrade, you go back first and tell Comrade Xie's family not to worry too much. I will tell Comrade Xie right away!"
Tell him to go immediately!
Brother Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Then he quickly ran back to the Xie family!
Shen Yan watched Luo Ge's hurried retreating figure, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
Let Comrade Xie go find Zhou Ye...
Just you wait, you'll be collecting Zhou Ying's body!
Zhou was also taken to a dark room without windows.
The desk lamp's faint glow was the only source of light.
Zhou was also forced into a seat.
There was even a rope tied to that seat.
The two guards exchanged a glance, and one of them picked up a rope to tie Zhou Ye up.
Zhou Ye spoke directly: "Comrades, may I ask what mistake I made that led to my arrest and even my tying up?"
I am a doctor at a Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital. My mentor is Zhou Hai! I'm sure you all know him!
My husband works for the Public Security Bureau. What wrong have I done to warrant such severe punishment?
Zhou Ye's words made the guards pause for a moment. They were doing this for someone else, and they had been paid to do it.
But if it's because of that little bit of money or benefit!
I made a mistake I shouldn't have made!
That would truly be the end of his professional career!
They are vicious people, bad people, but also intelligent people.
Know who you can mess with and who you shouldn't.
The guard put down the rope he was holding and sat down opposite Zhou Ye with another guard. He shouted, "Speak! Tell me your identity!"
This tone suggests that they've already ascertained that there's something amiss with my identity! This is psychological warfare!
A cold smile appeared on Zhou Ye's lips as he said softly, "Shen Yan gave you a bribe to arrest me, didn't she?"
Sincerity can conquer all!
The two guards did not expect Zhou to speak so directly!
A flicker of panic crossed his face...
"We are asking you a question, please answer us directly."
Zhou did not answer their questions.
Instead, they asked, "How much money did they give you? Was it Shen Yan or her father who did it?"
The guards' eyes showed even greater panic.
"We don't know what you're talking about. Please answer our questions seriously. What's your name? What's your identity? Where are you from? What is the purpose of your visit to the provincial capital?"
Zhou Ye looked at the two guards through the dim light, but uttered words they couldn't believe they heard: "100? 200? 500?"
The two guards' expressions grew increasingly grim.
One of them, enraged, slammed his fist on the table: "Now it's our turn to ask you questions, Comrade Zhou Ye."
Zhou Ye had just carefully observed the expressions of the two guards.
When she announced the price, the two guards looked visibly embarrassed.
It seems that Shen Yan and her father are not very generous!
"You don't even have 100 yuan to ask someone for a favor?" Zhou Ye's lips curled into a sneer.
It seems you're very confident in your network!
He looked at the two guards and said with a smile, "Brothers, I know you had no choice but to do this."
Shen Yan and her father weren't generous at all, so why are you doing this? Are you really willing to gamble your careers for a mere 100 yuan?
You arrested me. They must have ordered you to torture me to extract a confession, right?
But the two older brothers did not do that.
It seems there are other ideas behind it.
The two guards exchanged a glance. One of them said in a deep voice, "Comrade, we're just doing our jobs for money... I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Ye blurted out, "500!"
The two guards were taken aback: "500? What does that mean?"
Zhou smiled and said, "That's right, 500 yuan each!"
The two guards stood up in shock!
They almost collided because of their staggering movements.
One of the guards, a tall and burly man, walked up to Zhou Ye and said, "Are you serious?"
Zhou Ye smiled lightly: "You all know that bringing me here today is an undeserved disaster."
I will not let the person who framed me get away with it. I know it was Shen Yan and her father who were behind it.
Therefore, I will not let him off easily!
My husband won't let him get away with it either!
Even my master and my family won't let them off easily! Their path has come to an end.
I don't believe you would sacrifice anything for someone who's gone to their end. Worry about the rest of your lives?
Or would you rather sacrifice your family's happiness?
