Seeing Ma Yunfei's solemn expression, Chen Yuyan asked, "Honey, what's wrong?"
Ma Yunfei sighed and said slowly, "I wonder how many more days this sales outlet can last?"
Chen Yuyan asked in a panic, "What happened now?"
"Gu Tian kidnapped Liu Fei, but unfortunately, he failed at the last minute. He was caught at the bank and has been taken to the county public security bureau."
"Ah! Gu Tian is the town mayor's cousin. He... they actually killed each other. How did the world become so treacherous?"
Ma Yunfei sighed, looked at the yams in the warehouse, and said, "Tomorrow, I'll have the abbot make another trip to City A. We need to hurry up and buy yams. We'll just have to work one day at a time. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?"
Chen Yuyan comforted him, "Honey, I calculated it last night, and we already have 3.7 million in our savings account. If we work for a few more days, we'll reach 4 million. Even if the sales station goes out of business, it'll be enough for us to live on for the rest of our lives."
"Wife, I'm not content to just be the richest man in Qinglong Town."
"Honey, knowing when to quit while you're ahead and knowing when to back down is a great wisdom."
In Chen Yuyan's view, Ma Yunfei's achievement was already a miracle, and she dared not have any other expectations; she was already very satisfied.
Chen Yuyan asked, "Yesterday, Xia Tian sent you a letter asking you to go to City A. I think you should go with the abbot to deliver the yams tomorrow."
Ma Yunfei shook his head and said, "I can't leave Qinglong Town right now. Something big might happen in the next couple of days."
Gu Tian has been sent to the county public security bureau. It is conceivable that Gu Tian will expose Gu Le.
The few immoral things Gu Le instructed Gu Tian to do were not enough to warrant a severe sentence for Gu Tian; perhaps he would only be sentenced to detention.
However, Gu Tian's kidnapping of Liu Fei is a serious crime.
The problem is that Liu Fei doesn't admit that Gu Tian kidnapped her. Of course, Liu Fei's concern is that Gu Tian might expose her husband, thus leaving Gu Tian a way out.
The problem is: Gu Tian will not leave Gu Le any way out.
After much deliberation, Ma Yunfei decided that he should persuade Liu Fei to tell the police the truth about Gu Tian abducting her, so that Gu Tian would at least be sentenced to seven or eight years in prison.
Gu Tian was Gu Le's henchman; only by sentencing Gu Tian could Ma Yunfei feel at ease.
With that in mind, Ma Yunfei went to the town mayor's house.
He knocked on the door, but no one answered.
He knocked on the door again, and Liu Fei finally opened it.
Liu Fei's hair was disheveled, her eyes were red and swollen, and there were still tear stains on her face.
"Son, what brings you here again?"
"Mom, I think there's something important I need to talk to you about."
"Come in."
The wine bottles, plates, and bowls on the coffee table in the living room haven't been cleaned up yet; it seems Liu Fei has lost interest in keeping the house in order.
Jack Ma sat down on the sofa and asked, "Mom, was it Gu Tian who forced you to go to the bank to withdraw money this morning?"
Liu Fei kept her head down and didn't say a word.
Ma Yunfei continued, "Mom, did Gu Tian break into your house through the window last night?"
Liu Fei kept her head down and remained silent.
Ma Yunfei sighed and muttered to himself, "Mom, this time Godfather is going to a meeting in the county, and he may never come back."
Liu Fei asked in a panic, "Son, what do you mean by this?"
"Mom, things have come to this, we have to face reality. Gu Tian told me everything. He said: Godfather asked him to trip me up with a tripwire to teach me a lesson; Godfather also asked him to smash the window of Zhang's house to make Zhang behave; Godfather also asked him to hit the deputy mayor Chang Xiaobao with a stick..."
Ma Yunfei's words left Liu Fei dumbfounded. She exclaimed in a panic, "Son, you...you knew everything!?"
"Yes, Gu Tian wanted to sow discord between me and my godfather. He instigated me to report my godfather, so he told me everything."
Liu Fei asked in a panic, "Son, do you believe Gu Tian's words? He...he's talking nonsense, he...he's spreading rumors and slandering me..."
"Mom, you should face reality and stop making excuses. I know very well that everything Gu Tian said is true."
Liu Fei asked in a panic, "Son, if you believe Gu Tian's words, you've fallen for his trick. Everything he said is a lie."
“Mom, I’m not a three-year-old. I can tell whether Gu Tian is telling the truth or lying. I think Gu Tian is telling the truth, and I believe him.”
Liu Fei was both panicked and terrified. If Ma Yunfei believed what Gu Tian said, then he would hate Gu Le and her.
"Son, you...you've come here to settle scores with us?"
Ma Yunfei shook his head and said, "Mom, not only will I not hold my godfather accountable, but I also want to cover up these things for him."
Liu Fei could hardly believe her ears and asked, "Son, are you... are you speaking from the heart?"
"Yes, the reason is simple. I think: Godfather was indeed not very nice to me at first. Back then, you made me your godson, but Godfather did not acknowledge that. Under those circumstances, it is understandable that Godfather asked Gu Tian to teach me a lesson. The problem is: later, Godfather changed his opinion of me and began to value me and take care of me. I think: we should look at the problem from a developmental perspective."
Liu Fei felt relieved; he believed what Ma Yunfei had said.
“My son, you are such a reasonable person. I was right to choose you as my godson.”
“Godmother, I came here to persuade you that you should report the case to the police immediately and explain the truth to them. Only in this way can Godfather escape this disaster.”
Liu Fei asked, puzzled, "Son, I don't understand what you mean. If I tell the police the truth, Gu Tian will be sentenced. In that case, he will hate us even more and expose my husband's crimes. I don't want to force Gu Tian into a corner. My idea is: if I protect Gu Tian, he should appreciate my kindness and won't report my husband."
Ma Yunfei sighed and said, "Mom, if you think that way, you are very wrong. According to Gu Tian, he has already gone to the county public security bureau and confessed to all the bad things that his godfather instructed him to do."
Liu Fei was skeptical and asked, "If Gu Tian has already reported my husband, why hasn't anything happened?"
“Mom, this is also a question that puzzles me. I think: even if there is no movement now, there may be movement in the future. This time Gu Tian was arrested, and he will continue to bite his godfather. There is no doubt about that.”
Liu Fei asked, puzzled, "Son, if I tell him that Gu Tian kidnapped me, won't he report my husband?"
“Mom, whether you tell me about Gu Tian kidnapping you or not, Gu Tian will report Godfather, that’s for sure. The problem is: if you tell me about Gu Tian kidnapping you, it means that you and your husband don’t have a good relationship with Gu Tian. Then the police will suspect that Gu Tian’s accusations against Godfather are fabricated.”
