Ye Ruohuan rushed to the station, bought the nearest ticket, and went to meet Ye Qiang alone. Little did she know that this was a trap that He Miaoran had designed long ago.
After Ye Qiang tricked Ye Ruohuan and made her leave Fu Yijian, he called He Miaoran and said, "I have done everything you asked."
This is what He Miaoran told him that night. As long as he destroyed the relationship between Ye Ruohuan and Fu Yijian, He Miaoran would give up the idea of calling the police.
He Miaoran raised a meaningful smile on the other end of the phone and said, "Okay."
"What about the agreement between us?" Ye Qiang asked cautiously.
He Miaoran said: "Since Ye Ruohuan has come to you with the money, you can take your wife to live in seclusion abroad, and our grievances will be written off. But if you let Ye Ruohuan reappear in front of Fu Yijian, don't blame me for being unkind."
Ye Qiang was afraid that He Miaoran would change his mind, so he quickly responded, "Okay, okay, I'll do it, you can absolutely rest assured."
He Miaoran was not worried that Ye Qiang would cause any trouble and let Ye Ruohan return to Fu Yijian, because it was time for her plan to be implemented.
After a bumpy ride of several hours, Ye Ruohuan finally appeared at the doorstep of his hometown at seven o'clock in the evening.
At this time, the snow outside had stopped long ago, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of white snow, which made Ye Ruohuan feel inexplicably cold.
She walked to the door of her house, but she no longer had the key, so she raised her hand and knocked on the door, shouting, "Is anyone there?"
After a while, hurried footsteps were heard from inside, and then the door was opened.
The person who opened the door for Ye Ruohuan was Xu Guihong. After the last meeting, Ye Ruohuan felt that Xu Guihong seemed to have aged a few years, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were more obvious.
Xu Guihong coughed a few times, as if she had caught a cold. She glanced at Ye Ruohuan with a sickly face, made way for him, and said, "Come in. It's cold outside. Your uncle is waiting for you inside."
Ye Ruohuan took a deep breath and walked into the house. The furniture inside had not changed at all, but it had a more old smell than before.
As soon as Ye Ruohuan walked in, she saw Ye Qiang sitting on a small stool next to a low table, smoking a cigarette with a sad face.
Ye Ruohuan walked over and called out, "Uncle."
Ye Qiang gave a wink to Xu Guihong who came in later. Xu Guihong hesitated for a while, then walked into the room.
Ye Qiang motioned for Ye Ruohuan to sit on the stool opposite, and then said, "Did you bring the money?"
Ye Ruohuan already knew that the first thing Ye Qiang would ask about was money, so she said calmly, "Yes, of course."
Hearing Ye Ruohuan's affirmation, Ye Qiang's frown relaxed a little. Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Ye Ruohuan: "Tell me clearly what happened back then first."
When talking about what happened back then, Ye Qiang's first reaction was to escape. People have an instinct to escape from the mistakes they have made.
Ye Qiang said impatiently: "What's there to say about those things! It's unlucky!"
Ye Ruohuan still insisted, "Did you really do something to hurt the Fu family's child?"
Ye Qiang smoked silently and did not answer Ye Ruhuan's question.
Ye Ruohuan then continued to ask: "Where is the child now? Also, who was involved in this incident back then?"
Ye Ruohuan interrogated Ye Qiang like a police officer, which aroused Ye Qiang's strong disgust.
Ye Qiang stood up suddenly, kicked over the stool, and said angrily: "I didn't come to you to explain this matter! Where's the money? I ask you, did you bring the money?"
Ye Qiang stared at Ye Ruohuan fiercely, which made Ye Ruohuan feel creepy, but she felt that her uncle would not do anything to hurt his niece.
Ye Ruohuan stood up cautiously and said stubbornly, "I didn't bring it, and I won't give it to you."
Ye Ruohuan deliberately ignored Ye Qiang's angry face and persuaded him, "Uncle, go and turn yourself in. I consulted some lawyer friends before I came here. If you turn yourself in, you will be sentenced to fewer years."
When Ye Qiang heard that Ye Ruohuan not only didn't bring any money, but also told some of her lawyer friends about his affairs, he immediately flew into a rage and cursed, "Damn it, you ungrateful bastard, you don't give me money, but you still persuade me to turn myself in? All the rice I fed you back then, you ate it in vain, right?"
When Ye Qiang spoke, saliva was spurting out. This was the first time that Ye Ruohuan saw Ye Qiang so angry.
In the past, even if Ye Ruohuan did something wrong and was scolded, Ye Qiang had never been so angry.
Ye Ruohuan was also very strong-willed. She looked straight at Ye Qiang and said firmly, "Yes, if you don't turn yourself in, I will also call the police."
There is no good or bad person, but if you do bad things, you must pay the price.
Ye Ruohuan understood this principle. Even if others would call her an ungrateful person or someone who sacrificed her own family for the sake of justice, she would still make the same choice. She must not make mistakes when it comes to the principles of right and wrong!
Ye Ruohuan's words really irritated Ye Qiang, who almost choked. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Guihong, who was hiding in the room, heard the noise outside and rushed out to support Ye Qiang's body, accusing him, "You unfilial daughter, you must piss off your uncle to death so that your parents in the netherworld will know?"
Ye Ruohuan turned her face away, not wanting to continue arguing meaninglessly. She felt it was unnecessary.
If her parents were still alive, she believed that she would definitely be supported by them.
Ye Ruohuan picked up her bag and was about to walk out of the house. She walked to the door and opened it, but was blocked by two people outside.
A thought flashed through Ye Ruohuan's mind. She suddenly realized what was going on and turned to look at Ye Qiang in disbelief.
Ye Qiang turned his face away, completely losing his previous arrogance.
Ye Ruohuan's fingers trembled, her face turned pale, and she looked at the two strange men at the door and asked, "Who are you?"
One of the thinner men said, "I am your uncle's buddy. I followed your uncle to make money several years ago. Now I heard there is an opportunity to make money, so I came to you."
What he said confirmed Ye Ruohuan's guess. Doesn't the opportunity to make money refer to Ye Ruohuan?
Ye Ruohuan calmly took a few steps back, turned around and asked Ye Qiang: "So, you tricked me into coming here tonight? What exactly do you want to do?"
Another sturdy man standing at the door threw away his cigarette butt and said impatiently: "Why say so much to her? Just lock her up."
After he finished speaking, he gave a look to the thin man next to him, walked towards Ye Ruohuan, and one of them grabbed her arm to prevent her from escaping.
