Lan Caixin looked at the returning Little Red Riding Hood and took several steps back as if she had seen a flood or a beast. She suddenly fell to the ground and felt a chill running down her back. She shivered and said, "Why are you here again? Did you do something wrong? I never leave the house, so why are you arresting me?"
Captain Wang looked at Lan Caixin's guilty and frightened look and knew that the boy was telling the truth. No matter how the woman in front of him tried to argue, Captain Wang remained unmoved and took out an arrest warrant.
Captain Wang said coldly, "Lan Caixin, your good brother, Captain Lan, has been captured. After interrogation, he's given you away. He confessed that the recent random arrests were your idea. Your escape from prison has also been uncovered. Will you come with us?"
Lan Caixin knew that her brother's arrest would inevitably expose her own affairs as well. She fell to her knees and pleaded with Captain Wang, "Captain, please let me go. My little son is unconscious and needs my care. I am willing to pay the fine."
Captain Wang looked at Lan Caixin, who was also crying bitterly, and said angrily, "If you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place. You've caused so many people to be arrested for your own selfish reasons. Don't even think that anyone will let you go. Just follow us obediently."
Lan Caixin crawled to the bedside of her youngest son Zhao Jian and grabbed his hands, refusing to let go.
"You go with them. I will take good care of Xiao Jian and reform him well in there. Maybe after you come out, Xiao Jian will wake up. As long as I am here, I will not let him suffer any grievances."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man with extraordinary demeanor walking up to them. After seeing Zhao Yi, Lan Caixin started crying again. Zhao Yi had been ignoring her for a while. It was naturally a good thing that he was willing to come out and take care of Zhao Jian.
Seeing his wife in such a miserable state, Zhao Yi felt uncomfortable. In order to marry Lan Caixin, he had withstood the pressure from his family and made too much effort. He also didn't want his wife to go to jail again, but now, he had no good solution.
"Xiao Jian, I will take good care of him. It's not our fault that we have been partial to him since we were young. Now, let's take this as atonement for the sins we committed in our youth, right?"
Director Chen didn't expect that she would walk out of the examination room just one day later. When she saw the dazzling sunlight, she felt uncomfortable for a moment. The sky outside was so blue and fresh. She sighed and said, it's still better outside.
She smiled and looked at her husband beside her. The two of them supported each other and walked towards the door. After all, they were old, and their spirits were not good during the two days of isolation and investigation.
"Qiqi, look, so many people who were mistakenly arrested by Lan Xiaotian have been released, but my parents haven't come out yet. Is there any accident?" Guo Xiu looked at the crowd that came out one after another and said worriedly.
Huo Qiqi smiled and said softly, "Sister Xiu, don't worry, it's okay, Aunt Chen and Uncle Guo will be out soon." Huo Qiqi was quite happy that she could help Director Chen's family this time.
As Guo Xiu expected, Director Chen and his wife finally walked out of the door. The moment Guo Xiu looked at her parents, tears flowed again, this time they were tears of joy.
The moment Director Chen saw Huo Qiqi, she burst into tears. She knew that it was definitely Huo Qiqi's credit that she and the others were released. She walked up to Huo Qiqi and bowed.
Director Chen said seriously, "Qiqi, I know that it is definitely your credit that Lao Guo and I were rescued this time. Thank you, Aunt Chen."
Huo Qiqi waved her hands repeatedly and said to Director Chen, "Aunt Chen, it's cold outside. Let's go back quickly. Sister Xiu has prepared food for you. You need to replenish your nutrition."
The aunties in the compound were also extremely surprised when they saw Director Chen and his wife come out. They really didn't expect that the person who was captured by Little Red Riding Hood would be released so quickly.
Everyone expressed their congratulations, but they didn't dare to approach Director Chen, fearing that Director Chen's work was not over yet. Only Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhou came forward, enthusiastically pulling Director Chen's people and talking to them.
Guo Xiu looked at the scene and said to the two aunts, "Aunt Liu, Aunt Zhou, thank you very much for the past two days. My parents' case has been investigated. It was that team leader named Lan who framed them. He has been arrested. We will go home first and come to thank you later."
What Guo Xiu said was a disguised way of telling everyone that her parents were innocent. She guessed right. When everyone heard that Director Chen was completely fine, they immediately became enthusiastic. After all, Director Chen was the director of a food factory and had great power.
Director Chen had met many people, so she naturally knew who was being sincere and who was being fake. She smiled faintly and said to the crowd, "Everyone, Lao Guo and I won't chat with you here anymore. We need to go back and rest first. Thank you."
After returning home, Guo Xiu rushed into the kitchen. She wanted to heat up the food. Huo Qiqi naturally followed her to the kitchen. Although she couldn't cook, she could still help. In a short time, delicious food was placed on the table.
After everyone was seated, Director Chen held up a cup of hot tea and said to Huo Qiqi, "Qiqi, Aunt Chen, I'm offering tea instead of wine. First, I want to welcome you to my home, and second, I want to thank you for saving me and your uncle. We're not afraid of quarantine, but we don't want to be left in the dark."
Huo Qiqi also picked up a cup of tea and clinked glasses with Director Chen. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much. After Director Chen washed up, everyone came to the living room.
"Aunt Chen, I heard from Sister Xiu that you'll be retiring after the New Year. What are your plans for the future?" Huo Qiqi said seriously, handing Director Chen an apple. Yes, Director Chen has reached retirement age.
"Aunt Chen, I would like to invite you and Sister Xiu to work in my company," she said, taking out a few copies of the Hong Kong Daily.
After reading the above content, Director Chen and his daughter opened their mouths wide. They had not expected that during the time Huo Qiqi was away from Beijing, she actually went to Hong Kong and established such a large group in Hong Kong.
Director Chen hurried to the door and found that there was no one outside. She breathed a sigh of relief. She closed the doors and windows and said in a low voice, "Qiqi, how could you be so careless to reveal such an important thing to us?"
Huo Qiqi smiled and said nonchalantly, "Aunt Chen, Uncle Guo, Sister Xiu, are you going to report me?"
The three people in the living room shook their heads at the same time. Huo Qiqi saved their family's lives, so how could they do such an ungrateful thing?
Guo Xiu pulled at her pigtails and said unconfidently, "Qiqi, I'm just a grassroots worker in the street office. What can I do for you?"
Huo Qiqi did not directly answer Guo Xiu's question, but asked, "Sister Xiu, what is your dream?"
