CHAPTER 579: CHAPTER 561: AH HUI IS CAPTURED

Waiting for Lin Yinghui to be taken away by the police, as he walked away, Mr. Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief, already covered in cold sweat.

The crowd had dispersed by this time, and Mr. Xu had no concerns, spat towards Lin Yinghui’s back, "Tell them nothing, the filthy hooligan is just waiting to go to prison."

After speaking, he relaxed and walked away with his beer belly.

When delivering meals yesterday, Lin Yinghui seemed to suggest he’d come to the shop today to see if it could reopen.

Aunt Gui arrived at the store early in the morning but didn’t see Lin Yinghui. Just as she was getting anxious, the people from the supply and marketing cooperative next door said, "Auntie, didn’t you see? Your boss’s son was just taken away by the police."

Aunt Gui was surprised, "Who?"

"The one who works at the government office." The people at the supply and marketing cooperative had seen Lin Yinghui. He often stayed at the store during their gatherings.

This is a serious matter; Aunt Gui hurriedly closed the shop and rushed to the hospital.

"Hongmei, Hongmei, something terrible happened!"

At this time, Liang Hongmei had just seen off the doctor doing the rounds and was giving instructions, talking with the newly arrived Zhang Shuhua when she heard Aunt Gui rushing over disruptively.

"What happened? Did the Industrial and Commercial Bureau smash our shop again?" Liang Hongmei’s first reaction was that something happened at the store again.

"No, it’s Ah Hui."

"What happened to Ah Hui?" Didn’t he just leave? He should’ve just arrived at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

"Ah Hui was taken away by the police, saying he was accused of kidnapping someone’s daughter."

"What?" Liang Hongmei faltered and almost collapsed to the ground. If Zhang Shuhua and Aunt Gui hadn’t been there to support her, she wouldn’t have recovered for a while.

"I need to go and see. Shuhua, help take care here. I’ll go to the police station with Aunt Gui."

"Alright, Aunt Liang, you better hurry. I’ll take care of things here."

"Aunt Liang, I’m okay now. You should hurry over and check it out." Xiao Gu was lying in bed, just feeling anxious.

Liang Hongmei was now in an urgent panic, wondering how her son could possibly be accused of kidnapping someone’s daughter. He was clear in his own mind that he would never do such a thing.

....

In the office, Ye Qing lazily propped her chin, imagining Lin Yinghui’s ordeal at the police station.

She chuckled twice in satisfaction.

Coincidentally, after receiving Lin Yinghui’s leave request today, she received an unexpected call.

"Hello comrade, is Lin Yinghui in your department?" The voice on the other end started with this.

Ye Qing was already worried about the hot pot restaurant, and hearing this surprised her. She asked, "Yes, comrade, do you need anything from him?"

"No, I need to find your leader to complain about him. I’m reporting he kidnapped my daughter."

Ye Qing’s mood switched instantly, and she laughed, asking, "What exactly is this matter about?"

On the other end, Li Suolan explained how Lin Yinghui kept the truth from them and tricked her daughter into registering their marriage.

Ye Qing nearly burst into loud laughter, thinking it was a stroke of luck for her.

"Auntie, don’t get upset. Comrade Lin Yinghui usually performs outstandingly at our unit and is an upright person, not as you described. However, I will report what you’ve said to our leaders. If it turns out as you say, we will send someone to handle it. However, I still suggest you directly call our local police station to report it. If such a thing has happened, the police can arrest him directly. Auntie... I have the contact number of our police station here, why don’t I provide it to you?"

"This young comrade thought thoroughly, thank you. May I know your surname?" Li Suolan found this comrade’s suggestion excellent and wondered why she hadn’t thought of it.

"My humble surname is Li. Auntie can just call me Xiao Li."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Qing laughed heartily behind her colleagues’ backs, expressing her extreme joy.

Before long, Ye Qing remembered something and quickly called Mei Langchi.

"What’s up? I’m in training now. Haven’t I told you not to call when I’m training?" His phone had been quite busy these days.

Ye Qing’s original joyful mood was brought down by Mei Langchi’s impatience, but she didn’t mind, and instead said, "Today, someone reported Han Yi’s brother-in-law of being lecherous, and he should be at the police station now."

Mei Langchi immediately understood and replied, "I’ll handle this."

"Alright, I’ll hang up now. You carry on." Ye Qing hung up the phone proficiently.

Over there, after hanging up the phone, Mei Langchi sat in the office, pondering for a moment before picking up the phone and dialing out.

....

"Comrade, I really didn’t kidnap anyone’s daughter. Do you have this wrong?" In the interrogation room, Lin Yinghui defended himself.

"There’s no mistake; the call came from the Mu Family in Z City. They said you’ve been pestering their daughter for the past two years and deceived her into losing herself. Shouldn’t you be clear if this happened?"

"Comrade, we are in a consensual relationship aiming for marriage. It’s sincere. What you are saying is impossible. If you don’t believe it, you can call their daughter Mu Qing to clarify." Only then did Lin Yinghui understand who reported him.

"We will investigate the situation you mentioned. If what you say is true, we will release you. If not, it’s a serious crime, possibly leading to execution; do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand." He certainly didn’t want to throw away his youth over something that never happened.

Outside the interrogation room, a staff member walked in and whispered a few words into the leader’s ear. The leader nodded, glanced at Lin Yinghui, and then stepped out.

Just outside the interrogation room, another staff member said, "Captain, your phone."

The captain had to say to the newly arrived staff, "Let his family wait for a bit."

"Okay."

Liang Hongmei and Aunt Gui were anxiously waiting outside for over ten minutes before the leader came out.

"Leader comrade, my son isn’t that kind of person; did you catch the wrong person?" Upon seeing the leader, Liang Hongmei hurriedly stepped forward, grasping his arm urgently trying to explain.

The leader shook off Liang Hongmei’s grip in disgust and coldly said, "Whether we caught the wrong person, we will judge for ourselves. No need for family explanations. Whose family are you?"

"Lin Yinghui, his name is Lin Yinghui."

"Lin Yinghui?" His expression turned cold before he changed his tone, saying, "Lin Yinghui is charged with kidnapping a respectable woman and has been classified as a serious crime, to be paraded around town the day after tomorrow, then..." Before the words ’executed’ were said, Liang Hongmei cried out loudly, "No... it’s not true, you must have made a mistake. My son isn’t like that. Leader comrade, please check again, please check again."

"The police station isn’t a place for your antics, hurry home."

"Comrade, can’t we at least see him?" Aunt Gui quickly pulled Liang Hongmei aside and asked.

"You can’t see him. Go now. Don’t obstruct our work."

"Comrade, comrade, please let us see our child; we’re begging you, we at least need to know who reported this!"

"You can’t meet now; our police station has regulations prohibiting close family meetings. The purpose is to prevent collusion or destruction of evidence. If you want to meet, find a lawyer. A lawyer can meet him."

"What’s a lawyer?" Aunt Gui simply couldn’t understand their jargon, still asking out loud, causing the surrounding staff to chuckle slightly.

Making the two women stand there like fools, Liang Hongmei felt a sense of desolation. She desperately hoped for a man to stand up and shield her and her children.

If Guozhi were here, he would definitely know what to do.

Clearly, now they were not allowed to meet, or even ask who made the report.

Liang Hongmei suddenly felt powerless.

The leader seemed unwilling to entangle with them and had already strode away.
