Chen Yuan also entered the car.
Only then did Cai Gang get into the front seat and bring them to the hospital.
On the way, Aunt Chen grabbed her clothes and fidgeted. She only relaxed when she saw her husband safe and sound in the hospital ward.
The family finally reunited, and no one mentioned their previous troubles.
**
Compared to their family reunion, Mr. Zhou, who thought he had everything under control at noon, wasnât so happy.
He first received a call and found out that Uncle Chen had been taken away. He had yet to figure out where he had been taken to.
Then, he received another call from the person who had lunch with him in the afternoon, angrily asking him who he had provoked. Why was he suspended for investigation when he had only agreed to teach the stall owner a lesson?
Back then, when Mr. Zhou asked for help, he did not dare to tell him everything. He only said that Aunt Chen had offended him and he wanted to teach her a lesson.
Now that things had turned out like this, he didnât know how to explain it to the other party.
It was better not to explain this matter at all.
He couldnât possibly tell them that Beijing and Qiao Nian were involved, right?
Mr. Zhou hung up, overwrought. Madam Zhou was still anticipating going to Aunt Chen tonight and forcing her to relent.
At this moment, she happened to ask him, âWhat time are we going to look for that woman?â
Mr. Zhou looked at her and did not speak.
Madam Zhou asked curiously, âWhy are you looking at me? Whatâs wrong?â
Mr. Zhou shook his head. He couldnât be bothered to tell her, fearing she would keep nagging him without helping.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and tried to call Aunt Chenâs number.
It rang a dozen times.
The call got through, but no one picked up.
He reluctantly tried a few more times, but it was still the same.
He could get through, but no one picked up!
Unable to determine the current situation, a knock on their suiteâs door distracted him out of his thoughts.
âWho is it?â
Madam Zhou looked at the entrance and asked impatiently.
A waiterâs voice politely said, âHello, guest. Weâre the cleaners. Please open the door. Weâll clean your room.â
Madam Zhou looked at the unfinished coffee cups on the table and went over to open the door.
âWaitâ¦â Mr. Zhou returned to his senses and tried to stop her, but the door was already open.
Apart from the hotel staff, there were also police officers outside.
The police officers didnât exchange pleasantries and immediately showed their identification documents. Then, they looked at Mr. Zhou and asked directly, âAre you Mr. Zhou?â
Mr. Zhou understood what was happening but just couldnât believe it. â⦠Itâs me.â
âYouâre suspected of a cross-border fraud case. Please come with us to the police station.â The officer walked in to take him away.
Madam Zhou was dumbfounded by what was happening.
âAre you guys mistaken? We donât lack money. How can we be involved in fraud?â
She didnât understand. It was Aunt Chen and Uncle Chen who were supposed to be taken away, but now, it was her husband who was being taken away.
But no one would pay attention to her.
After the officer handcuffed Mr. Zhou, he calmly answered her, âWe wouldnât have come for President Zhou without evidence. Letâs go.â
Although Mr. Zhou wanted to resist, the officer had already put it this way. He had to cooperate.
âYou canât do this. Heâs not in good healthâ¦â Madam Zhou was dumbfounded.
She wasnât as calm as her husband as she watched him being taken away.
She cried and followed them, completely forgetting how she treated the âantsâ before. There was only endless pain and confusion nowâ¦
