Chapter 121 Meeting the Parents?

They know this family well, and Qin Huairu isn't a good person either. Why get yourself into trouble?

"Where's my son? How is he?"

Remembering the important matter, Madam Jia asked anxiously.

"Intensive care unit, no visitors allowed." The police officer stated matter-of-factly, "His life has been saved. But the injuries are too severe; he will definitely be disabled. How many years he lives depends on fate."

Jia Dongxu's injuries this time were even more severe than the last. The doctors sighed during the resuscitation efforts, saying that even if he survived, it would be a painful ordeal. But who knew he was so resilient and actually lived?

"It's good that you're not dead...it's good that you're not dead..."

Madam Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

Disability? What's wrong with being disabled? As long as he has a wife to serve him, that's enough. We'll train Qin Huairu well in the future, making her devoted to taking care of our son.

"Alright, you're here just in time. Pay the medical bills."

"What medical expenses?" Jia Zhangshi immediately feigned ignorance. "I didn't bring the person to the hospital. Aren't you taking advantage of an orphan and a widow?"

She's very adept at throwing tantrums and acting spoiled.

The two policemen exchanged a glance—thankfully they hadn't paid out of pocket.

This family, once they pay, they're sure to never get it back.

"Is that your son inside?"

"If so, then pay up."

"You don't have to pay. Just come back to the station with us now. You'll be released whenever you hand over all the money."

"Hospitals don't do charity. If you don't have the money, they'll just dump you at the gate tomorrow. We won't know if you're alive or dead."

Jia Zhangshi stopped crying for a moment.

Knowing there was no way to avoid it, she pulled Qin Huairu down to her knees.

"Officers, we have elderly parents and young children to support, and our daughter-in-law doesn't work. Where are we going to get the money? You're police officers, you can't just watch my son die in the hospital, can you? We really have no money left. We're begging you—"

He was about to kowtow when he said that.

The surrounding patients peeked out to see what was going on.

The one thing we have no shortage of is the Virgin Mary.

An old woman walked over and said, "You two young people, those women are widows and orphans, it's not easy for them. You're police officers, why don't you help them?"

Someone agrees.

The two young police officers had only been on the job for a short time and had never seen anything like this before.

Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai hid in the crowd watching the commotion. Sha Zhu was overjoyed to hear that Jia Dongxu was dying. Yi Zhonghai, however, was disappointed—how could the people they found for retirement be either disabled or insane?

The two policemen were at a loss for what to do when they suddenly saw Yi Zhonghai behind them.

"Hey, isn't that your neighbor in the courtyard? Your son's mentor, right?" the policeman shouted. "You should ask them for help with this. Your son is a convicted murderer who hired someone to commit murder; according to regulations, we can't help him."

Jia Zhangshi immediately turned her gun on him.

"Oh, you two are here too? Perfect, time to pay up."

The stench emanating from Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu was so strong that everyone around them kept their distance.

An old man couldn't stand it anymore: "What's wrong with you, woman? Do these two look like they have money? Why should they pay for you?"

"What? You're not going to pay, are you?"

"Pah! Don't try to scam me!"

The old man's son arrived. A burly man, he stood there, glaring at Jia Zhangshi: "What do you want?"

Jia Zhang was instantly frightened.

They retreated and continued to pressure Yi Zhonghai: "Give me the money now!"

"That's too much!"

"Exactly! How can they ask for money like that?"

The people around started cursing again.

Madam Jia glanced at them, then suddenly said loudly—

"That old bastard slept with my wife so many times, and never paid a single time! Shouldn't he pay me? That idiot is always eyeing my wife!"

She pointed at Sha Zhu: "Give me the money, and I'll let you sleep with me for one night. I'll make your dream come true."

Everyone around stared in disbelief.

A sleazy-looking man sized up Qin Huairu and suddenly shouted, "How much does your daughter-in-law cost for a night?"

Jia Zhangshi's eyes lit up.

That look sent a chill down Qin Huairu's spine. She lowered her head, filled with rage. Her affair with Yi Zhonghai was so many years ago. And Jia Zhangshi had actually brought it up in front of so many people…

His face was completely gone.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

Two police officers stepped forward. The man who had just asked about the price quickly backed away, saying, "Just kidding, just kidding."

Jia Zhangshi dared not make a fuss anymore, but her eyes kept glancing at Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu.

"Give me the money. Try it if you don't."

Yi Zhonghai felt extremely uncomfortable under the stares of those around him. The old man was having an affair with his daughter-in-law; his reputation...

The old man who had just spoken out in defense lamented, "People's hearts have changed so much!"

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the plunge.

He shoved away Jia Zhangshi, who was tugging at his clothes: "Your daughter-in-law is a whore, why should I pay for her? It would be better if your son died! Get out!"

Sha Zhu was having a seizure at that moment.

He stood there dumbfounded, lunging at Qin Huairu: "Wife, kiss me—"

That was absolutely disgusting.

Qin Huairu screamed in fright.

Just as the two policemen were about to make their move, the burly man from before intervened. He kicked Sha Zhu, sending him flying and crashing into the corner of the wall, where he burst into tears.

A burst of laughter erupted around them.

"Rain, isn't that your brother?"

He Yushui came to buy medicine with her colleagues today, and looking in the direction of the sound, she saw it was indeed him.

Silly column. Yi Zhonghai. Jia Zhang.

Her temper flared up instantly.

Ever since she learned what her brother had done and that her father had been sentenced to death because of him, she had cut ties with all those people. But because of this, she's been having a hard time lately.

Now that they see Sha Zhu being laughed at, Yi Zhonghai and the others don't care about him at all—they still have some feelings for him after all.

He Yushui rushed over, grabbed Sha Zhu, and took him away without looking back.

Qin Huairu didn't look at Sha Zhu.

Her eyes were fixed on the burly man from before, and there was something else in her gaze.

Fortunately, no one noticed.

"Jia Dongxu's family?"

The doctor came out.

Madam Jia hurried to greet him. Qin Huairu followed behind, her eyes still searching for the man—he had already left with her father.

"How is my son?"

"His life is saved. His lower body has been amputated. He needs medication to stay alive. Pay up. If you don't have the money, send him back."

Jia Zhangshi turned her head to look for Yi Zhonghai.

The person has long since disappeared.

"That old scoundrel—"

She gritted her teeth and cursed, but could only scrape together the money herself.

The two policemen handcuffed her son and left. At this point, there's no need to guard him. Where could that old lady from the Jia family possibly take him?

The next morning, Li Jianguo was awakened by knocking on the door.

Even on my day off, I can't sleep in.

Who is it?

He was grumpy from just waking up, and his tone wasn't very pleasant.

"I am Jiang Min!"

Li Jianguo quickly got up. He glanced around, put away the leftover snack bag from last night, and then went to open the door.

The door opened, and a warm, soft embrace came into my arms.

Jiang Min threw herself into his arms.

"How are you? I heard someone wanted to kill you? Are you alright?"

Her eyes welled up with tears.

Li Jianguo felt a warmth in his heart.

"It's okay. It's really okay. Don't cry."

Jiang Min looked him up and down several times to make sure he was alright before she breathed a sigh of relief.

"That scared me to death..."

She looked at him with red eyes: "I didn't even eat when I heard the news yesterday. I originally wanted to come last night, but my dad wouldn't let me. So I had to come early this morning."

Li Jianguo held her close, his heart melting completely.

After a while, Jiang Min came to her senses and quickly pushed him away. Her face flushed, and she sat down to the side.

"The Jia family is despicable!" she said angrily. "What have you done to wrong them? Why are they treating you like this?"

"I was just angry. But they can't really do anything to me. It's all over now."

"People like this should be severely punished!"

"Definitely."

After chatting for a while, Jiang Min brought up the important matter: "By the way, my parents want to see you. Aren't you off today? Why don't you go?"

See parents?

Li Jianguo was a little nervous.
