He was detained by Australian customs officials when he was crossing the border, and a batch of valuable diamonds were seized from him.

In today's Australia, smuggling is a very common gray profession. As the saying goes, one should not blame the masses, so even if you are caught, you can usually be exempted from criminal responsibility by paying a sufficient fine.

But this time, Peck encountered big trouble.

The diamonds he was carrying were the spoils of a robbery.

There have been several similar robberies in Australia City, and the police have been unable to solve the case, which has put a lot of pressure on them. Peck just happened to be caught in the crossfire.

Apparently, Peck was made a scapegoat.

Once the robbery is proven, he will probably spend the rest of his life in jail.

The total amount involved in these several cases exceeded tens of millions.

After learning the whole story, Shen Mingzhu became a little panicked.

She forced herself to calm down, "Miss Li, can I trouble you with one more thing? Please help my uncle find a good lawyer. I will rush over to handle the case as soon as possible."

"You may not understand the system and institutions of Australia City. Here, justice is above the law."

The implication is that this matter cannot be settled by a lawyer.

Shen Mingzhu was really panicked now, and her palms were sweating.

"Ms. Li, please give me some advice. My husband's parents died early, and only my uncle is still alive. No matter what, we can't just sit back and let the old man spend the rest of his life in prison."

"Okay, wait for my news."

Li Shiman agreed readily, which made Shen Mingzhu feel unsure.

Would the other party really help her with such a big matter? Or was it just a perfunctory response?

Shen Mingzhu's mind was in a mess, but she didn't forget the important things.

She first called Pei Yang, and then called Yan Su, asking Yan Su to help her and Pei Yang get visas.

Even though the hope was slim, she still wanted to go to Australia.

Afterwards, Shen Mingzhu called together the heads of various departments for an emergency meeting to arrange the work for the next week.

After doing all this, Shen Mingzhu called Pei Wenping again, briefly explained Pei Ke's situation, and entrusted her home and two children to Pei Wenping's care.

It was already evening when I finished my work.

The setting sun is like blood, illuminating the entire sky red like a burning flame.

Shen Mingzhu's heart was just like the fiery clouds, surging endlessly.

Pei Yang returned to Fengcheng in the early morning.

The couple sat opposite each other all night, discussing plans and preparing for the worst.

The visa was obtained at noon the next day.

Shen Mingzhu immediately bought a ticket for the nearest flight to Shenzhen.

Before leaving, Shen Mingzhu made a special call to Li Shiman, informing her of her itinerary and asking her to help look after Pei Ke before they arrived in Australia City.

"Don't rush over here."

Shen Mingzhu's heart tightened, "Ms. Li, is there any change in my uncle's case?"

"Yeah, about the same."

Li Shiman's tone was still light, with a light and sweet taste like jasmine, and had a magical power to calm people's hearts.

"I've solved half of your uncle's problem for you. You have to solve the remaining half by yourselves."

Shen Mingzhu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, "Miss Li, what do you mean?"

"Your uncle was lucky. The police caught two of the main culprits in the robbery yesterday."

"The case has been investigated. The robbery has nothing to do with your uncle, but he is suspected of smuggling. The police said that you either go to jail or pay a fine."

Shen Mingzhu chose the latter without hesitation, and at the same time did not forget to thank Li Shiman again and again.

Although Li Shiman said it lightly, she knew it was not that easy.

On the surface, now that the main culprit has been caught, Peck, the scapegoat, becomes dispensable.

But even though they knew that Pei Ke was innocent, the police would not let him go easily.

That undoubtedly tells the world that they have arrested the wrong person.

Those in power have always been high and mighty, so how could they let the police force lose face because of a small person like an ant?

A fine of 50,000 Australian dollars is equivalent to about 240,000 Australian dollars at the current exchange rate.

All the money Shen Mingzhu had in her hands totaled only 190,000, still 50,000 short.

Pei Wenping took 15,000 yuan, and Pei Yang managed to borrow the remaining 35,000 yuan.

After all, Pei Ke is his uncle, and as his nephew, he should always contribute some effort and not let Shen Mingzhu shoulder everything.

Just when Pei Yang was raising money everywhere, a cousin came to his door and advised the couple not to care about Pei Ke.

"Your uncle has been a bad boy since he was young. He steals and causes trouble all the time, and it's always Pei Yang's dad who cleans up his mess."

"The reason why he went to Hong Kong City was because he committed a crime and injured someone, and was kicked out of the house by the old man."

"He's just a rotten guy, why do you care about him? You finally earned some money, but you use it to fill this rotten hole of his. Are you stupid?"

Perhaps because he was afraid that Shen Mingzhu would not be willing to use the money to save Pei Ke, as soon as his cousin left, Pei Yang hurriedly explained:

"My uncle did some bad things when he was young, but he's not that bad."

"During the years of famine, we couldn't even eat tree bark. It was my uncle who stole food from everywhere that saved us from starvation."

"The man he injured was a well-known hooligan who often molested the girls on the same street. Grandpa chased him away to protect him."

Whether a person is good or bad is not determined by what he says, but by what he does.

At least after getting along with him, she didn't think Pei Ke was a bad person.

Otherwise, Pei's father would not have been so worried about his brother Pei Ke before he died.

"Have you collected enough money?"

Hearing her question, Pei Yang knew that she did not believe her uncle's words, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's almost there. I'll go look for Brother Zhao."

After saying that, he was about to go out, but was stopped by Pei Ziheng who was returning home from school.

"Dad, this is for you."

Pei Yang took the thick envelope and opened it.

My goodness, it’s all money.

"Where did it come from?"

"mine."

"Where did you get so much money?"

“I saved it.”

Pei Yang wanted to ask more, but Pei Ziheng's face tensed up, "If you have the time to interrogate me, you might as well go and rescue your uncle as soon as possible."

That's true.

Pei Yang immediately went to the bank and transferred the money to Macao. He then took a plane to Shenzhen and then a boat from Shenzhen to Macao.

Three days later.

"Pearl."

Hearing Pei Ke's voice on the phone, Shen Mingzhu's tense nerves finally relaxed.

"Uncle, I'm glad you're okay."

"Hey, I'm fine."

Pei Ke's voice on the other end of the phone was slightly choked with sobs, with a mixture of gratitude and self-blame, "I'm sorry for causing trouble to you and Xiao Yang this time. I really don't have the face to go back to see you."

"Uncle, don't think like that. We are a family and we should help each other through the difficulties."

"But this time we are lucky to have the help of a noble person, otherwise we would be powerless. Uncle, please don't do this again in the future."

"Oh, no, never again."

Pei Ke was both afraid and regretful because he almost sacrificed the rest of his life for 20,000 yuan.

After Pei Ke finished talking to her, he handed the phone to Pei Yang.

After Pei Yang told her the date of his return on the phone, he mentioned another matter, "Mingzhu, there is another troublesome matter..." (End of this chapter)
