CHAPTER 576: CHAPTER 571: MAKING AN ARREST (SECOND UPDATE)

```

At this time, the Police Station was not as well-developed as it would be in later years. For minor incidents, they generally didn’t intervene much.

After hearing about Fang Xiu’s visit, they were lackadaisical and even suggested that if it wasn’t a major issue, it would be best to resolve it privately and not to come to the Police Station, as it would end up unclear anyway.

In the end, it was Zhou Guangsheng who came forward, saying that if they maintained this attitude, he would report them to the higher-ups.

Perhaps the words of Zhou Guangsheng scared them, or maybe it was the deterrence from his military uniform, but in the end, the Police Station personnel went to the train station to apprehend someone—no, to be precise, they invited someone back to assist in the investigation.

When Fang Xiu followed the Police Station personnel to the train station, Zhou Yunmei and Xu He were in the waiting room, with about ten minutes left before boarding the train. Zhou Yunmei felt a sigh of relief and was a bit smug, thinking that the Fang Family couldn’t really do anything to her after all her commotion.

Later, since the Police Station personnel showed up at the train station looking for them, it caused quite a stir. They both turned to look towards the crowd where Fang Xiu was standing with the police, and both their faces turned pale with fear.

Zhou Yunmei was so scared that she immediately grabbed Xu He and ran to the nearest chair, pointing in the distance and whispering to Xu He, "Fang Xiu is there too, those Police Station people can’t be here to arrest me, can they?"

Although Xu He was also surprised, she didn’t know about Zhou Yunmei injuring Haohao’s hand and thought that they had only gotten into a fight with Li Yuchun. She didn’t see how it could warrant police apprehension.

She shook her head and said, "It shouldn’t be. You just took a photo of their two kids from their house and fought with Li Yuchun. You hit her, and she hit you too, both of you are injured, right? Is it really necessary to report to the Police Station?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunmei immediately remembered injuring Haohao’s hand. In a panic, she shook her head, "No, not that, I..."

Perhaps Zhou Yunmei’s panicked demeanor frightened a child near the chairs. The child’s mother, a fiery woman, immediately shouted at Zhou Yunmei, "What’s wrong with this old lady? What are you doing running over here and scaring my child?"

When the woman started talking, it drew the attention of Fang Xiu, who after a careful look, saw Xu He standing there. She immediately ran over to them while telling the Police Station personnel, "Over there, officer comrades, the people we are looking for are over there."

The Police Station personnel, as if out of nowhere, stood before Zhou Yunmei, looking down at her from a superior position. The leader, a junior team leader from the station, spoke to her in a formal tone, "Old lady, get up, come with us back to the Police Station. Someone has filed a report accusing you of intentional assault."

When Zhou Yunmei saw these people approaching, her face had already turned pale from fear, and now, hearing that she was to be taken back, she couldn’t care less about anything else and tried to run away while shouting, "I won’t, I won’t go to the Police Station."

"Yo-ho, this old lady is resisting arrest, seems like she must be feeling guilty about something indeed."

The Police Station’s personnel were all robust young men, and Zhou Yunmei couldn’t possibly outrun them. She was caught after just a few steps.

This time Zhou Yunmei was genuinely scared. After being caught by the Police Station people, her complexion turned from white to red, then from red to dark, and she was too frightened to utter a complete sentence. Her lips trembled as she kept saying, "I won’t go to prison, don’t arrest me to go to prison, I didn’t break the law."

Seeing Zhou Yunmei reacting this way, the Police Station personnel were also at a loss. The team leader explained to her, "Old lady, no one said you’re going to jail. Someone filed a report, and we need you to come to the Police Station to clarify the entire matter."

"I won’t go, I won’t go anywhere, I want to go home." Zhou Yunmei was caught but still resisted, causing quite a nuisance for the comrades from the Police Station.

One of them had already taken out handcuffs, intending to shackle Zhou Yunmei directly and take her back, but the team leader at the front stopped him.

The team leader pointed to Xu He, "You’re her family member, right? Come talk to her."

Once Xu He was certain that Fang Xiu was indeed there to apprehend someone, she was burning with rage inside.

In fact, she couldn’t care less about Zhou Yunmei’s fate, but such commotion could potentially expose her own affairs to a large extent.

Angry and disregarding what the team leader said, she pointed at Fang Xiu and cursed, "Fang Xiu, what is this supposed to mean? You actually had the Police Station people come to arrest someone. She was once your mother-in-law, after all. Even though you caused your marriage to her son to end because of your promiscuous relationships, and now you’ve found yourself another man, at least you were once on good terms with her son. Do you really need to be so vicious?"

Xu He’s words were not only an accusation towards Fang Xiu; she deliberately mentioned the various men Fang Xiu had been with before.

At that time, divorce was not very common, and for a woman to not remain faithful to one was frowned upon in the eyes of others.

Immediately, many people started pointing fingers and whispering about Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu’s face turned red with shame too. She glared at Xu He, struggling to speak, "You..."

When Fang Xiu was shamefully at a loss, Zhou Guangsheng stepped forward, took her hand with a smile, pulled her behind him, and used his broad body to shield her from the prying eyes of the crowd.

Then he looked at Xu He, turned back to the Police Station personnel, and said, "Comrade, judging by what this woman here said, she seems to be aware of the whole situation, might well be an accomplice, and should therefore be taken in for questioning as well."

The Police Station personnel, already set to take one, now agreed to take both without further ado, "Alright, since they’re together, let’s take both back with us."

"You..." Xu He was gritting her teeth in anger, but she couldn’t do anything about Zhou Guangsheng. She ended up directing her anger at Fang Xiu, pointing her finger and cursing through clenched teeth, "Fang Xiu, you won’t die a good death. Don’t think just because you found yourself a man you’re something special. He could be just another good-for-nothing like Luo Zhiming."

Hearing this, Zhou Guangsheng didn’t even glance at Xu He, but simply said to the Police Station personnel, "Comrade, does our nation’s law have a provision that insulting a soldier can also be a criminal offense?"

Hearing Zhou Guangsheng say this, Xu He immediately waved her hands, saying, "No, no, I didn’t insult you, I was just speaking off the cuff."

Then, she quickly clarified to the Police Station personnel that she had nothing to do with the incident, pointing to Zhou Yunmei, "Police Station comrades, actually I know nothing about their matter. I just heard her saying she wanted to take a certain photo from Fang Pingying’s house, and afterwards Li Yuchun wouldn’t let her take it and they had a fight. They were fighting upstairs while I was standing downstairs the whole time. I’m definitely not an accomplice, please don’t take me to the Police Station."

This kind of matter wouldn’t be decided based on Xu He’s word alone. The Police Station team leader gestured with his hand and commanded, "Let’s go back first."

After that, without further discussion, they took Xu He and Zhou Yunmei back to the Police Station in the car.
