Chapter 217 - 217 Trouble at the Door, Ruthless Words!
217 Trouble at the Door, Ruthless Words!
Because of Mo Junyan’s participation in the kidnapping case, the higher-ups took it very seriously and immediately established a special task force. The case was quickly investigated.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary kidnapping case actually involved another big case.It was case of trafficking in women.
Hence, this case was reported layer by layer until the provincial capital established a special task force to investigate the case thoroughly.
The case of trafficking in women was another case.
Regarding the kidnapping case of his grandmother Lai Jiaoying, the investigation had been completed and the case had been closed.
However, before the case was closed, the people of Stoneback Village finally knew that Li Hongmei was an accomplice to the kidnapping. If she resisted, the sentencing would be stricter. If she confessed, the penalty would be lenient!
Li Hongmei, who was terrified, told the police the truth about her involvement in the crime. After that, the police officers came to Stoneback Village and everyone knew that Li Hongmei had committed a crime. They were shocked that she was so bold.
The ones who couldn’t stand it the most were the Shi Bangqing’s family.
Previously, their family had chased away the first wife and grandson for Li Hongmei. They had left no room for negotiation.
Now, in just a month or two, Li Hongmei had been captured.
If she was caught, so be it. However, Li Hongmei was still holding on to the money that Shi Bangqing had given her.
When could they get the money back?
When Old Lady Shi heard that Li Hongmei was arrested because of Lai Jiaoying, she went to the door and asked them to withdraw the case and let Li Hongmei come back.
Actually, in her view, as long as the money came back, it would be the best. It did not matter if Li Hongmei did not come back
Even for the money, she did not dare to go to the police station to look for Li Hongmei. As an old lady, she was afraid when she went to that place.
If they didn’t dare to cause trouble at the police station, they would do so at the Shi family.
She didn’t know who told her that Li Hongmei kidnapped Lai Jiaoying. As long as Lai Jiaoying went to the police station to withdraw the case, Li Hongmei would be able to come back.
“Old woman, are you crazy?!” Lai Jiaoying was furious when he heard Old Lady Shi’s request. “Do you think the police station is run by your family? Can you just withdraw the case just because you want to? You have to understand that what Li Hongmei committed is a crime. Can the police station let a criminal off so easily?”
However, Old Lady Shi said shamelessly, “I don’t care. As long as you go to the police station and withdraw the case, Li Hongmei will be able to come back. Then, my son’s money will also come back.
Lai Jiaoying, let me tell you, if you don’t go, I’ll come to your house every day. Do you believe me? Anyway, if my family isn’t doing well, your family won’t be well either!”
Hearing Old Lady Shi’s shameless words, Grandma was so angry that her face turned ashen.
Gu Qingming looked at this unreasonable old woman and her expression was not good either. Her expression was cold as she said coldly, “Then believe it or not, if you don’t leave, I’ll call the police and get them to arrest you!”
When Old Lady Shi heard this, she was shocked and panicked.
She said timidly and fearfully, “I… I didn’t do anything illegal. Why should the police arrest me?”
“For your trespassing!” Gu Qingming said coldly. “If you don’t know what trespassing is, then ask the young people in the village who have phones and get them to check online. See if you’ll be arrested for trespassing! So, if you have the ability, make a fuss. Every time you make a fuss, I’ll call the police! At that time, not only will Li Hongmei be a criminal, but you will also be one.”
A family with two people who had entered the police station would definitely be despised by the entire village.
Old Lady Shi felt as if someone had grabbed her throat. She was so stifled that she could not breathe. Her face was green and red.
Old Lady Shi pointed at Gu Qingming and said angrily, “You… you harmed my family. Can’t I seek justice?”
“What do you mean we harmed your family? Did we ask Li Hongmei to kidnap my grandmother?”
Gu Qingming said sharply, “It’s Li Hongmei’s own problem. She wanted to live a good life and followed the wrong man. Hmph, my grandmother was frightened by your daughter-in-law’s kidnapping and hasn’t asked your family for compensation yet, but you’re here.”
“Since that’s the case, we don’t have to give you respect anymore. We can just ask for compensation for mental distress. Don’t worry, the compensation won’t be too much, about 30,000. With your family’s savings, you can definitely afford it!”
“What?” Old Lady Shi was instantly dumbfounded. She looked at Gu Qingming in disbelief. “You still want compensation? On what basis?”
“On the basis that my grandmother was kidnapped and injured!” Gu Qingming said coldly and loudly, “We have the right to apply for compensation.”
Old Lady Shi’s face turned pale.
She did not expect things to turn out like this.
Not only did she not make a scene and get the Shi family to release Li Hongmei, but she also had to face being called to the police and being arrested with the possibility of having to make a compensation.
What was this?
The gains did not make up for the losses. Did she really reap what she sowed?
Old Man Shi, who had come to the Shi family to cause trouble, had an ugly expression on his face.
He walked out from behind the crowd and walked in front of Old Lady Shi. He said angrily, “Damn old lady, who asked you to come and cause trouble? Are you very shameless? Isn’t our family embarrassed enough?”
Old Lady Shi looked at her old man and opened her mouth. Under the old man’s warning gaze, she closed her mouth again and lowered her head without saying anything.
Old Man Shi also hated the Shi Family.
In his opinion, Yuan Chunjiao would not have gotten a divorce for no reason, if not for the Shi family’s meddling. Then, their family would not have lost their grandson. At the same time, Li Hongmei would not have provoked their family because of this.
This led to Li Hongmei’s path of no return.
Until now, he still believed that their family had not done anything wrong. The Shi family was the one in the wrong. Whether it was bullying their ex-daughter-in-law who treated them well or scolding the vixen, he didn’t find anything wrong with their actions.
Old Man Shi’s sharp gaze swept across the Shi family members present. In the end, his gaze seemed to be poisoned as he shot a cold gaze at Gu Qingming.
If looks could kill, then Gu Qingming had already been cut into pieces by him.
Everything that happened to their family had a lot to do with Gu Qingming.
He now knew that his family had worked together to bully and frame Yuan Chunjiao. It was this person who discovered the clues before Lai Jiaoying and the others came forward.
Back then, the furniture in their house had been smashed to pieces because the old woman had a cheap mouth and called her a vixen.
After that… until now, every single thing was related to her.
Old Man Shi looked at Gu Qingming and said coldly, “Little girl, don’t go too far. If I’m forced, you’ll suffer retribution!”
He glanced at her belly.
Grandma Shi immediately wanted to jump up and point at Old Man Shi to curse, but she was stopped by Gu Qingming.
Gu Qingming laughed instead of being angry. She said sarcastically, “Hehe, going too far? Don’t you think these words sound funny? From the beginning to the end, you seem to have caused this yourself, right? So, don’t you think you’re retribution now?”
“Hiss!”
This young lady’s words were really ruthless!
