"Please investigate this thoroughly and clear my name as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry, young student," the police officer reassured him. "The nature of this matter is too serious to avoid causing panic among students in Beijing. We will definitely investigate thoroughly. Please wait for our investigation results."
Seeing that things were going badly, Bao Jiadong looked around and, taking advantage of the moment when the police were talking to Chu Yu, suddenly pushed through the crowd and ran away.
Fortunately, the students at Tsinghua University were not to be trifled with. Seeing that he was trying to run away, they hit Bao Jiadong's leg with a backpack.
Bao Jiadong cried out "Ouch!" and knelt down on the ground, where he was restrained by the police who arrived at the scene.
Bao Jiadong struggled until his face turned red, and he shouted through gritted teeth:
"Let me go! It has nothing to do with me! Zhou Huilan owes me money and is going to give this woman to me to pay off the debt! They taught me to talk nonsense, to lure this woman home first, lock her up, then force her into the bridal chamber, and once we're husband and wife, she'll get pregnant and we can do whatever we want with her! I'm innocent! They framed me!"
These days, going to jail is a terrible ordeal.
There are many ways to discipline people in prison.
Besides, Bao Jiadong still has three lives on his hands back in his hometown.
He killed all three of his ex-wives. He's terrified of the police, so how could he dare go to the police station?
The older police officer glanced at him disdainfully and snorted coldly:
"What? A gang committed a crime, a frame-up? They planned to abduct people and lock them up. What is this if not human trafficking! They've abducted women right here at the gates of Tsinghua University. Who gave you the audacity to do this? Come on, all of you, come back with me. This case is going to be a real trial today."
The crowd gathered at the entrance of Tsinghua University had not yet dispersed, and everyone felt that what happened today was too unbelievable.
If what Chu Yu said is true, it would be terrible if we didn't know them.
If a group of people suddenly appeared out of nowhere and impersonated your grandmother or aunt, marrying you off to a strange man to pay off a debt, which student in Beijing would dare to go out?
The three were taken away by the police. Jiang Meifeng was the most anxious. Before leaving, she glared fiercely at Chu Yu, as if she wanted to make things difficult for him.
Chu Yu ignored her.
Jiang Meifeng dared to provoke her, and she wasn't going to take it lying down. She hadn't originally planned to let Jiang Meifeng and Zhou Chufei go to Hong Kong, but she didn't know how to handle it. Now, Jiang Meifeng's provocation gave her the perfect opportunity.
The police had been contacted by Dai Donglin, and he was also acquainted with Chu Yu. They took Jiang Meifeng back and detained her for a period of time. Jiang Meifeng was locked up in the police station and couldn't escape even if she wanted to. If she missed the train to Guangzhou, the mutual aid association could collapse at any time, and in the end, no one would be able to leave.
"Chu Yu, are you alright?" Li Miao and Chen Qiufen asked as they arrived.
Zhang Ying first defined the nature of the matter:
"That's terrifying! They came all the way to the gates of Tsinghua University to traffic women. I don't know when you were targeted. Maybe they saw you were pretty and dressed smartly, and got some bad ideas. Okay, okay, the police have taken them back for questioning. Everyone, please disperse!"
After everyone left, Chen Qiufen pulled Zhang Ying aside and whispered, "Do you think what that man said might be true? Did Chu Yu really get married back in her hometown and then dump the man who supported her studies as soon as she got into university?"
Zhang Ying frowned, clearly displeased.
"Chen Qiufen, are you out of your mind? Yorkham is owned by Chu Yu's family, and do you know Mandarin? It's a clothing chain store on Wangfujing Street with dozens of branches nationwide. Chu Yu earns hundreds of thousands a month. Her boyfriend is from a privileged family. Do you think she would be interested in someone like that?"
Chen Qiufen chuckled awkwardly, "I was just asking casually."
"How can you ask such a casual question? We're roommates. If Chu Yu is in trouble, we should protect her and stick to the same story. No matter what people ask, we should insist that it's impossible. How could you ask such a question?"
Zhang Ying shook her off, caught up with Chu Yu, grabbed Chu Yu's arm, and asked:
"Chu Yu, are those two really your grandma and your aunt?"
Chu Yu did not deny it: "By blood, they are my grandmother and aunt, but everything they said is false. After my parents divorced, I lost contact with the Zhou family. She wanted to forcibly take me home and marry me off to that man. She definitely had ulterior motives."
Zhang Ying nodded repeatedly, also finding these elders a bit scary.
"Then you should be careful when you go out these days."
Chu Yu also planned to hire two security guards for herself, fearing that Zhou Jian'an might retaliate during this special period.
Zhou Jian'an received the news that afternoon.
"What? They were arrested by the police? What happened?" Zhou Jian'an frowned.
“Don’t be afraid, it has nothing to do with the mutual aid association,” Zhou Fangchun glanced at him and sneered, “It’s all because of your good daughter Zhou Chuyu! My mother and eldest sister are just bored and wanted to marry Chuyu off to Bao Jiadong. You know Bao Jiadong, he’s been married several times and three wives have died. His mother is no pushover either, she’s vicious and mean! My mother and eldest sister took Bao Jiadong to Tsinghua University, trying to snatch Chuyu back as their wife! But Beijing is our Zhou family village, you can’t just snatch her like that, can you? That little hussy Zhou Chuyu went to the police station and said they were trafficking women, so they took them to the police station.”
At this critical juncture when they were on the run, Jiang Meifeng and Zhou Huilan were suddenly arrested. It would be a lie to say that Zhou Jian'an wasn't worried.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it had nothing to do with the mutual aid association.
Even if Zhou Jian'an disliked Chu Yu, he didn't want to marry her off to someone like Bao Jiadong. He frowned.
"My mom doesn't want to live anymore! Her train is tomorrow, and she's causing trouble at this crucial time."
"Is that even a question? It must have been Zhou Huilan who instigated it. She owes Bao Jiadong money, and this time she brought her relative to work in Beijing, and Bao Jiadong came along to ask for the money back. Last month we gave the couple 100,000 yuan, but she clearly has the money but doesn't want to pay back a single penny. She wants to marry Chu Yu to Bao Jiadong as a wife to pay off the debt! Well, she's kicked a hornet's nest! What an idiot!"
