Chapter 226 Zheng Haiyang and Qi Baifan are arrested
Chang Dafeng's world has collapsed!
...
The next morning, news of Zheng Haiyang and Qi Baifan's arrest at Director Wang's place reached the courtyard.
Several uniformed police officers came to notify us personally.
It shocked the entire hospital!
Although everyone had a vague idea of what Zheng Haiyang was doing, they still found it hard to believe that he had been arrested.
After all, we lived in the same compound and were neighbors for decades. How could he suddenly be arrested?
Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng were also a little surprised.
They had been worried because there had been no news from Sun Ling.
Unexpectedly, Sun Ling pulled a fast one and reported them, leading to their downfall.
So sudden and unexpected.
But Director Wang is a minor figure with some status and connections in the tail-cutting society, so how could he be arrested so easily?
What Cheng Jiajia didn't know was that the Public Security Bureau originally didn't dare to touch Director Wang, but Sun Ling's timing in reporting the case to the Public Security Bureau was perfect. At that time, a leader from above came down to inspect the area. As soon as he heard that someone had used their position to forcibly abduct a man and do such horrific things to him, he immediately ordered the Municipal Public Security Bureau to conduct a thorough investigation!
This must be thoroughly investigated!
This beast who abuses his power to oppress the people, disrupts social order, and is morally corrupt must be brought to justice!
The leader's temper was so bad that his subordinates suspected he was afraid his nephews or younger relatives would fall victim to Director Wang's wickedness.
In short, the result was that the Public Security Bureau immediately dispatched a large number of personnel, led by Sun Ling, to the courtyard, where they quickly and ruthlessly pinned Director Wang and Qi Baifan to the bed, and also arrested Zheng Haiyang from the next room.
...
When Zheng Haiyang’s biological mother, Chang Dafeng, first reacted, she couldn’t believe it. Her son had said that Director Wang was a high-ranking official in the tail-cutting society, and that the police could do nothing to him.
She pointed at the two police officers and yelled, "Impossible! Where did you come from, you swindlers? Are you trying to cheat this old woman?"
The police officer frowned. "Ma'am, we are legitimate police officers. We have no reason to lie to you."
“We understand your disbelief as a family member upon hearing this news, but you shouldn’t try to smear us.”
"We came here to inform you of this matter. Now that you know, we should go back."
After saying that, the police officer turned and left, ignoring Chang Dafeng's pale face.
Chang Dafeng's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, slapping her thighs and wailing.
"My poor son! How could you have been captured by those plague-ridden bastards!"
She firmly believes that her son did nothing wrong; he was just unlucky to have been arrested by the police.
The two policemen, who hadn't yet left, paused. "Pitiful?" they thought. "They've heard that Qi Baifan was dragged onto Zheng Haiyang's sleigh. There's nothing pitiful about him." Then they heard the old woman cursing them as "poor bastards." Both shook their heads inwardly. "No wonder a family like that could raise a son like Zheng Haiyang, who works as a pimp."
Chang Dafeng felt like her world was collapsing!
The family has always lived off Zheng Haiyang's salary. Now that her eldest son has been arrested, what will become of her and her younger children?
A wave of sorrow washed over her:
"Heavens above! This is unbearable! Heavens above, why don't you just take me with you!"
The younger members of the Zheng family all looked as if their mother had died.
Zheng Haicheng: "My brother got arrested?! How am I supposed to get married now?!"
Zheng Haiyan: "Big brother, how could you do such a thing? It's so shameful!"
How will she ever get married?!
Zheng Haihua: "Mom, I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat! Can I still eat meat now that my older brother is gone?"
The three siblings were extremely anxious.
Only Jiang Qiubai, standing in a corner, revealed a sinister smile.
Karma!
retribution!
Why should I be the only one suffering while everyone else is living a good life?
Zheng Haiyang, that scumbag who sells hooks, has been doing that kind of thing with men, it's disgusting. How come his life is getting better and better?
We should live in the mud just like her.
Cheng Jiajia caught a glimpse of the smile on her lips out of the corner of her eye and shivered.
Yu Junsheng, who was standing nearby, noticed that something was wrong with his wife and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you cold from the wind?"
It's cold today, and there's a north wind blowing. It's understandable that my wife feels cold. Yu Junsheng glanced at the new cotton-padded jacket that they made for their wedding on Cheng Jiajia and wondered if the jacket wasn't thick enough.
Then I'll have to save up some cotton coupons to stuff the cotton.
Cheng Jiajia shook her head, tugged at his sleeve, and gestured for him to look at Jiang Qiubai's side.
Then, Yu Junsheng also saw the sinister smile on Jiang Qiubai's face.
He exaggeratedly shook the goosebumps off his body.
Eww~ That's scary!
Yu Junsheng aptly commented: "This woman is acting like she's sick."
"That's right."
Cheng Jiajia nodded in strong agreement.
Since breaking her leg, Jiang Qiubai has stayed at home all day and rarely goes out. It's as if she doesn't exist in the yard.
But the gloom in her eyes made people very uncomfortable.
However, thanks to the spirit she showed when she broke her leg in the hospital and still managed to beat Dong Xiangxiang into a difficult childbirth, no one dares to mess with her now.
Everyone spontaneously pretended that she didn't exist.
Actually, quite a few people noticed the slight smile on her lips at that moment, but no one dared to say anything.
Who would dare offend such a ruthless person? Aren't you afraid she'll suddenly attack you?
Cheng Jiajia was also afraid that Jiang Qiubai would hurt her. To be honest, Jiang Qiubai's leg injury started when she tried to push her down the stairs but ended up reaping the consequences. Maybe he would hold a grudge against her.
I have to say, living in a compound with someone like that is pretty scary.
It felt like there was a venomous snake watching me from behind all the time.
On several occasions, Cheng Jiajia saw her staring at her stomach.
They're probably up to no good.
Cheng Jiajia touched her chin. No, she still had to find a way to get this person out of here as well.
However, what Cheng Jiajia never expected was that before she could come up with a way to deal with Jiang Qiubai, she herself had brought about her own demise.
...
The commotion was so loud that many people in the courtyard gathered at the Zheng family's door to watch the excitement.
Everyone felt deeply saddened by the current state of the Zheng family.
Although Zheng Haiyang wasn't a great person, he was incredibly devoted to his younger siblings. He started working to support them when he was a teenager, and they relied on him for their education and food. However, after his accident, none of his siblings cared about him; they were all only concerned about their own futures.
Everyone shook their heads.
This family is really hard to judge.
Some people didn't take it seriously, after all, what good could someone raised by Chang Dafeng be?
Could it be that bad bamboo shoots can produce good ones?
So even though Chang Dafeng was crying and wailing, looking pitiful with tears streaming down her face, no one went up to comfort her. Even Grandpa Zou hid at home and pretended not to know anything about it.
Besides the fact that Zheng Haiyang's crime was too serious for him to handle, the main reason was that Grandpa Zou still remembered that Zheng Haiyang had tried to sell Yu Junsheng to that guy surnamed Wang.
Yu's father had a good relationship with him, and Yu Junsheng grew up under his nose. How could Grandpa Zou not be angry that Zheng Haiyang was scheming against him like this?
He was always upright and wouldn't do anything too outrageous to Zheng Haiyang, but that didn't mean he had to go out of his way to help his family.
...
This perfectly illustrates the saying that human joys and sorrows are not shared.
Upon learning that two young men in the courtyard had been arrested, some people were saddened and disappointed, some were amused, while others were delighted and happy.
In the Third Hospital.
Upon learning that Qi Baifan had been arrested, Bai Xiaohui was overjoyed.
"Very good!"
She jumped up happily, walked around her room for a while before remembering to look for her mother, Bai Zhenzhu. For a moment, she forgot to control her volume and started shouting:
"Mom, Mom! Qi Baifan has been arrested! I don't have to worry about how to divorce him anymore!"
Bai Zhenzhu was unaware of this news. When she heard Bai Xiaohui say it, she was stunned for a moment, then stood up excitedly, "Really!"
Bai Xiaohui nodded vigorously, her face still beaming with undisguised joy.
"Of course, the police officers came to our compound to inform us! I saw it with my own eyes!"
White Pearl was overjoyed and couldn't help but put her hands together in prayer.
"This is truly a case of God helping you!"
In this way, Xiaohui no longer needs to worry about not being able to get a divorce from Qi Baifan.
There's no need to worry about that guy demanding an exorbitant amount during the divorce.
The wrinkles at the corners of Bai Zhenzhu's eyes appeared as she smiled.
After laughing for a while, she remembered what was important.
It is solemnly reminded that:
"Daughter, go to the newspaper this afternoon and publish a divorce notice with Qi Baifan, sever all ties! Our family has nothing to do with that ex-convict Qi Baifan!"
Bai Zhenzhu was afraid that if she was too slow, she would endanger the mother and daughter.
Bai Xiaohui knew the seriousness of the matter and obediently replied, "Mom, I know!"
Coincidentally, Dong Xiaodi, who lived in the Ren family, had the same reaction as Bai Xiaohui when he heard the news.
Very good!
Good job catching him!
That was a brilliant catch!
In this way, not only will I not have to worry about Qi Baifan retaliating against me, but I can also be open about my relationship with Bai Xiaohui. I will no longer have to worry about what to do if Qi Baifan, who lives off me, refuses to agree to a divorce!
The two went out as if by telepathy, and upon seeing each other, they could no longer contain themselves and excitedly embraced.
"Little Dong!"
"Xiaohui!"
"We can be together now!"
"We can get married!"
The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Let's go! We're going to the newspaper office. I'm cutting ties with Qi Baifan!"
Bai Xiaohui grabbed Dong Xiaodi and headed to the newspaper office, eager to break off her relationship with Qi Baifan.
Dong Xiaodi was taken aback, not expecting Bai Xiaohui to react so quickly. But then he thought about it and realized that Qi Baifan had been arrested and would definitely not be able to get out. It would be better for Bai Xiaohui to break off her relationship with him as soon as possible.
The two held hands excitedly and didn't let go until they left the compound.
This startled Hu Mei, who was leaning against the hanging flower gate watching the lively scene in the courtyard.
No, when did they get together?
She pursed her lips. The pretty boy surnamed Qi had just been arrested, and these two were already so impatient?
Hu Mei came out to watch the commotion for a while, but she wasn't familiar with Zheng Haiyang and Qi Baifan, nor did she have any conflicts with them, so when she heard that the two had gotten into trouble, she just treated it as a story.
I'm not as interested as seeing Dong Xiaodi and Bai Xiaohui holding hands.
Because looking at them reminded her of herself and Wei Xiang, and she wondered when she and he could be together openly.
After a period of tireless efforts, Hu Mei finally found where Ma Gaosheng had hidden the money.
That scoundrel actually hid his secret stash of money right under her nose!
This was something she really hadn't expected!
Because I pass by here every day, I've actually overlooked it.
Perhaps this is what they call "the darkest place is under the lamp."
Hu Mei didn't touch the money for the time being because she wasn't sure when or if Ma Gaosheng would check it, and it wouldn't be good if he found out.
However, Hu Mei wanted to tell Wei Xiang about this, but she didn't know if he would come over soon.
Speaking of Wei Xiang, he actually came over this afternoon.
Hu Mei asked in surprise, "Didn't I tell you not to come? Why did you come again?"
Wei Xiang frowned. "Ma Gaosheng has been away from home lately, and I'm worried about leaving you all alone at home."
He knew he had been coming a bit too often, but for some reason, Ma Gaosheng had taken on several out-of-town driving assignments recently and hadn't been home for a while.
He was really worried about Hu Mei, who was heavily pregnant, as she was the only child at home.
Hu Mei frowned slightly and urged, "Then hurry up and leave after you've finished watching."
Wei Xiang didn't take it to heart. "Since we're already here, we definitely have to finish your work before we leave."
After saying that, he started taking off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and began helping Hu Mei with the chores around the house.
...
Hu Mei was right; the people in the compound were indeed whispering that Ma Gaosheng's superiors were coming too often.
Seeing Wei Xiang carrying a lot of things again, an older woman curled her lip and said sourly, "Hu Mei is pregnant, and he's come here so many times already?"
"Anyone who didn't know better would think this child was conceived by him!"
That's a really hurtful thing to say.
The middle-aged women around him frowned.
Aunt Yan couldn't stand her behavior and spoke up for Hu Mei, "What nonsense are you spouting! If someone hears this, will Hu Mei still be able to face anyone? She's pregnant!"
"At your age, you still can't keep your mouth shut!"
"Ma Gaosheng is out driving, his mother Wang has gone back to her parents' home, and Hu Mei, that pregnant woman, is home alone. What's wrong with the unit paying more attention? Leaders who care about their comrades are so considerate!"
"Absolutely, what a great leader! I wish my son's leader was this considerate."
Perhaps because everyone had just been thoroughly shocked that morning, the older women weren't particularly curious or gossipy about Wei Xiang anymore.
Then the conversation turned to Hu Mei.
"Sigh, Hu Mei has it tough too."
"That's right. In the past few years, I suffered a lot from being given folk remedies by Old Lady Wang. Even when I finally got pregnant, Old Lady Wang didn't offer to take care of me much. Ma Gaosheng was also often away from home. I had to rely on myself."
"If you ask me, Old Mrs. Wang is just biased. When her youngest daughter-in-law was pregnant..."
The conversation then turned to Old Lady Wang's favoritism.
Jiang Qiubai, who was washing clothes by the pool, stared intently at the front yard with a gloomy gaze.
She didn't believe that the man surnamed Wei was really there to visit the pregnant family member on behalf of his subordinate. If the company really cared, they should have sent a female colleague to visit. What was the point of sending such a big man?
Jiang Qiubai actually discovered something while staring at it.
A smile appeared on Jiang Qiubai's lips.
It's like God is on her side!
Just like Bai Xiaohui thought, Jiang Qiubai's first reaction upon learning that Zheng Haiyang had been arrested was that she didn't even need to get a divorce certificate, let alone Zheng Haiyang's consent.
She was finally free.
During this period, Chang Dafeng, that old hag, has tormented her a lot, and even beats her at the drop of a hat. She has had enough.
However, I have invested too much in the Zheng family. If Zheng Haiyang becomes successful and prosperous after I leave, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?
Secondly, if he were to initiate a divorce, the Zheng family would certainly not agree and would instead demand that he return the original betrothal gifts. Jiang Qiubai had no money, so how could he afford to return them?
So she could only continue to live a life of leisure in the Zheng family.
But things are different now.
Zheng Haiyang has been arrested, and his future is ruined. He doesn't even need their consent to get a divorce anymore, so why shouldn't he run away?
So here's the problem: Jiang Qiubai himself has no money. Even though he used to save some pocket money from grocery shopping, he gradually spent it all. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's truly penniless now.
Where could I go if I left the Zheng family? How would I make a living? These were all questions.
To Jiang Qiubai's surprise, the money was delivered to his doorstep on its own!
