When the police rescued Ye Chunxiao, she had just been severely beaten.
Those thugs and the people behind them will be prosecuted for their misuse of private punishment.
And Ye Chunxiao will also go to jail for theft.
The suffering she endured cannot offset her crimes, but the state will allow her to receive treatment first.
In the hospital, the bruised and battered Ye Chunxiao stared at the ceiling and mumbled to the officer taking notes.
"Who?" The officer looked at her, frowning.
"Yue Qingqing!" Ye Chunxiao angrily pounded the bed with her non-intravenous hand, only to recoil in pain, "She watched me get taken away without doing anything. I want to sue her and those people for being accomplices."
The officer grimaced as if in pain, unable to understand Ye Chunxiao’s logic.
"If she had saved you, it would have been an act of bravery, but it wasn’t her responsibility. Besides, she’s just a girl your age; what more could you expect from her?"
"I don’t care! She let me be beaten, and I’m going to expose her. I want the media to know that the top student of the province is of poor character and doesn’t deserve to go to university."
The officer was getting a bit angry, "You got into this mess because you committed a crime, haven’t you realized that? And if it weren’t for that girl, Yue Qingqing, calling the police, you’d still be locked up right now."
"Hypocrite! If she had saved me earlier, I wouldn’t have been beaten at all."
The officer realized it was impossible to reason with Ye Chunxiao.
This person was selfish, had her own set of beliefs, and was extremely self-centered.
There was no way to communicate logically.
"Alright, I’m not here to discuss these irrelevant things with you. I’m here to inquire about the crime, and given your special situation, we can only question you in the ward."
Ye Chunxiao kept silent, and the officer repeated.
Ye Chunxiao finally spoke unwillingly, "Ye Chunxiao."
Tears streamed down Ye Chunxiao’s face, but there was no remorse, only fear.
She was so young, yet she’d have to spend the next few years in prison.
How would she live after being released? What company would hire someone with a criminal record?
And it was all Yue Qingqing’s fault. If she hadn’t let her die, if she hadn’t called the police, if she hadn’t...
Seeing the jealousy and resentment in Ye Chunxiao’s eyes, the officer had no interest in exploring her inner world, and continued the interrogation expressionlessly per the procedure.
Back in Zhuancheng, Yue Qingqing planned to meet with her friends.
Lu Zhu was also planning to come to Zhuancheng for a visit and to explore the small town.
The day before the gathering, a woman stood outside the Yue Family’s house.
After waiting for many days, Zhuang Rouhui had finally come to the door.
Her eyes were red, devoid of any past arrogance and pride.
She burst in as soon as the Yue Family opened the door.
"Where’s Yue Qingqing? Where have you hidden my daughter? Where is she!"
During this time, Zhuang Rouhui felt completely helpless and destitute.
Her money was running out, and the Li Family had cut off her financial support completely.
She could no longer renew any of her VIP memberships.
As someone who cared deeply about her image, she had become the laughing stock within her circle.
This was intolerable to Zhuang Rouhui.
She had to find Yue Qingqing and reclaim that money from the Li Family.
Seeing the somewhat crazed Zhuang Rouhui, the members of the Yue Family grew wary.
Zhang Ying shielded her daughter behind her.
Zhuang Rouhui’s icy gaze seemed to pierce through Zhang Ying and landed on Yue Qingqing.
With a creepy determination.
"Come here, you are my daughter! I gave birth to you!"
Yue Jiandong immediately stood in front of his wife and daughter.
"Get out, or I’ll call the police and charge you with trespassing."
"Trespassing? I’ll also charge you with kidnapping my daughter." Zhuang Rouhui’s tone was vicious as if she were about to turn violent any second.
At this moment, Yue Qingqing suddenly smiled.
"Aunt Zhuang, look at this."
Yue Qingqing took out a rectangular ID and waved it in front of Zhuang Rouhui.
