Chapter 208: Chapter 208 Collapse Chapter 208: Chapter 208 Collapse After Zhang Qiaoyan was taken away by the people from the police station, she was detained in a cell within the station. Owing to the personal intervention of the commune secretary, the police comrades interrogated Zhang Qiaoyan once more.
As she was young and inexperienced, she honestly confessed again. Seeing no further issues, they sent her straight back to the cell, where two middle-aged women were also detained. One of them asked, “Girl, what did you do wrong?”
Zhang Qiaoyan suddenly broke down and cried, to which the woman said, “Why are you crying now? I didn’t bully you.”
Zhang Qiaoyan felt that she would never be able to show her face again, not only had she become a laughingstock in the village, but she was also detained here. Now all she wanted was to go home, but why hadn’t her father come to save her yet?
The cries annoyed the other woman detained in the same room, who shouted, “Stop your damn crying, you’re annoying as hell. What’s the point of crying, huh? Cry one more time, and I swear I’ll beat you to death.”
Scared by this, Zhang Qiaoyan didn’t dare to make a sound anymore and silently wept, hugging her knees.
She regretted it now. Why had she been so impulsive? She hadn’t hurt the person intended, but the ox had fallen down the mountain, and most importantly, she had gotten herself involved as well.
In Capital City, Yuan Weicheng was hurrying to Big Brother’s place. He was originally planning to go home today to visit his father, but before he left, he received a call from Lu Yichen, which nearly drove him to go there in person.
But Lu Yichen said he was watching over things there and that they couldn’t let their elderly father know about this matter, as it might upset him greatly.
So, to cover all bases, after the call, he also told Big Brother, asking him to put in a word as well, fearing that Luo Qiao, a young girl, might be bullied over there.
After leaving the military district, he didn’t go straight home but detoured to Big Brother’s place.
Seeing his younger brother arrive, Yuan Weizhou knew why he was there. He poured a glass of water for him and asked, “I’ve already made the call. What are you doing here?”
Yuan Weicheng took a sip of the water and replied, “What, can’t I come and sit here if there’s nothing wrong?”
Yuan Weizhou laughed and ignored him, continuing with his work.
Seeing Big Brother busy, Yuan Weicheng didn’t want to sit around too long and disturb him, so he said, “Big Brother, keep an eye on Luo Qiao’s situation. Anyway, she calls you Uncle Yuan. Hahaha, Big Brother, when she says that, it really makes you sound old.
Look, Luo Qiao calls me Little Uncle Yuan, and Second Brother gets called Second Uncle Yuan. Haha, just thinking about her calling you Uncle Yuan makes me laugh uncontrollably.”
Yuan Weizhou looked at his brother as if he were a fool and said, “If there’s nothing else, you should head back. Father has been mentioning you for several days now.”
Yuan Weicheng said to his big brother, “Big Brother, don’t you find it funny? Why aren’t you laughing? You’re really humorless, always so serious. Aren’t you tired of it? You should laugh more, it’ll make work go smoother.”
Yuan Weizhou said, “If there’s nothing else, hurry up and leave. I have a pile of work here; don’t disturb me.”
Yuan Weicheng stood up, “Big Brother, you really are…”
As Yuan Weizhou was looking over his documents, he said, “Luo Qiao is definitely smarter than you and wouldn’t be as foolish.”
Feeling a bit disgruntled, Yuan Weicheng retorted, “Big Brother, personal attacks aren’t fair. You can’t even take a joke, you really lack a sense of humor.”
Yuan Weizhou glanced sideways at his brother, “I told you to read more books in the past, but you acted as if you had a grudge against them. Perhaps you’re misunderstanding the term ‘humor’?”
While speaking, Yuan Weizhou carefully arranged and reviewed the documents in his hand, and once he was done, he called his secretary to send the documents out.
