“You’re finally back… I came to see how you and your mother were doing. Your mother invited me to have a few drinks, and halfway through, she got drunk. So, I was trying to help her to bed, but she just can’t seem to take off her boots.”
The girl's boots were tightly fitted, and Shu Hui usually had to shake them for a long time after unzipping them to get them off.
She often lamented that she didn't feel tired after a day's work, but taking off her boots felt like she was half dead.
Chu Chu also remarked that women can endure any hardship for the sake of beauty; if she had to take off her boots for ages every day, she would have lost her temper long ago.
Luo Kangcheng was quite helpless and, exhausted, found a stool to sit down.
Chu Chu understood what had happened and couldn't help but chuckle to herself, "So that's what happened. I thought Cao Gang was bullying my mom again."
"Don't worry, I've locked Cao Gang up in the police station. He won't be out anytime soon."
Chu Chu almost clapped her hands in approval. It's true what they say, having connections in the court makes things easier. Luo Kangcheng's status and position made him seem reliable.
Chu Chu felt at ease standing next to him.
It seems that with Luo Kangcheng around, no one dares to bully the mother and daughter.
"Uncle Luo, would you like some more? Shall I get you a glass of water?"
"No need, I have alcohol in my stomach and don't want to drink water right now. I'll finish this bowl of rice first."
Luo Kangcheng was not a hands-off manager. When he lived with Wu Wenlan, he would wash the dishes while she cooked, and he would help with chores around the house whenever he had free time.
When Shu Hui cooks, he can't just leave his bowl after eating; he insists on cleaning up the table and washing the bowls and pots.
He was a guest after all, and Chu Chu had no right to ask him to wash the pots and pans.
"Uncle Luo, please leave it, I can do it. I wash all the dishes at home."
"You're quite diligent, but I can't let a little girl like you wash the dishes. I don't have anything to do tonight, so you can wash them before you leave."
Chu Chu had no idea what it meant to be embarrassed. She was more than happy to have Luo Kangcheng wash the dishes. Usually, she was young and at the bottom of the family food chain, so she was the one who cooked and washed the dishes. With Luo Kangcheng washing the dishes, she felt like she had turned the tables.
When Chu Yu returned the next day, she heard about Cao Gang's matter.
"Mom, did Uncle Luo really lock Cao Gang up? Did he say how long he would lock him up?"
Shu Hui shook her head. No matter how long Cao Gang was imprisoned, at least she could finally relax a bit during the time he was locked up.
Chu Yu thought Cao Gang was a menace, and she planned to find someone to beat him up, at least enough to keep him in bed for ten days or half a month.
However, Beijing has strict public security, and getting caught assaulting someone can be very troublesome.
She couldn't cause trouble for Luo Kangcheng.
Besides, she's still in university; it wouldn't be good if things got out of hand and the news got back to the school.
Li Jinchao had already arrived in Beijing. As soon as he got off the bus, he rushed to Chu Yu's house. Chu Yu figured that there was nothing going on at her school, so she asked him to stay at the courtyard house.
"Last time you and Chen Shunan were keeping an eye on Zhou Fangchun, how come she just disappeared after we were keeping an eye on her?"
Li Jinchao felt extremely embarrassed when the topic came up.
He and Chen Shunan were keeping an eye on Zhou Fangchun and Zhou Jian'an. They had both spotted them, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Unfortunately, they ended up running right into the line of fire.
At that time, Guangdong Province was cracking down on smuggling. The two of them were wandering around the docks every day and were taken back to the station for investigation by the local police as smugglers.
"Back then, we both wanted to contact you and ask someone to rescue us, but the situation didn't allow it. It was a secret investigation case, and we were completely helpless inside. The police didn't believe us and thought we were highly suspicious because of our counter-surveillance abilities. It was only when Boss Dai couldn't find us that he learned we had been arrested and contacted the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Bureau to bail us out."
Chu Yu never expected that the two of them would be arrested by the police.
She also found it strange that Li Jinchao was a reliable person; regardless of whether things went well or not, he should at least send a message.
It turns out that the two were detained by the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Bureau and have been secretly interrogated ever since.
Chu Yu felt quite sorry for him, "So, neither of you went home for the New Year."
“Whether we went home or not doesn’t matter. To compensate us, Boss Dai sent money to both of our families. All of us who work outside are ultimately working for our families. My younger brother has a leg disability, and I wanted to earn money to build him a house. With Boss Dai’s help, my family will be able to build a house this year. Ms. Zhou, I have to thank you.”
Li Jinchao was very sincere. Chu Yu hadn't expected his family situation to be like this. Since Li Jinchao didn't care whether he had been to jail or not, and he urgently needed money, and Dai Donglin had already compensated him financially, Chu Yu's guilt lessened somewhat.
However, with Li Jinchao around, Chu Yu couldn't keep any of this information from him. Dai Donglin found out about Cao Gang's matter that afternoon.
"This bastard doesn't want to live." Dai Donglin frowned. He did business in Hong Kong. How could he leave Chu Yu with such a person by his side and not deal with him?
Seeing his unpleasant expression and knowing his usual methods of tormenting people, Li Jinchao frowned and said, "Once that bastard is released, I'll have someone beat him up."
“Giving him a beating is too lenient,” Dai Donglin said with a gloomy face. “Just cripple him.”
He'll be unable to get his penis erect, and he won't be able to lift his arm. At that point, he's just a useless piece of trash.
Not to mention Shu Hui and Chu Yu, even a little girl like Chu Chu could handle him.
Dai Donglin originally thought that Cao Xueying was a terrible person, but he didn't expect the Cao family to be full of bad people. He didn't mind finding something for the Cao family to do.
In the afternoon, Chu Yu was doing laundry when the washing machine's drain got clogged. Just as she finished fixing it, she heard a commotion outside.
A wealthy woman, nearing fifty, broad-shouldered and burly, adorned with gold and silver, rolled up her sleeves and said fiercely:
