Chapter 75 - We Are Family
The Fu Family pitied Jia Li, and they talked about her case for a while before dispersion.
Jia Li's Uncle, on the other hand, has been hiding and taking shelter in a local casino where he used to drink and gamble, without knowing he was on the wanted list.
As for his family, he didn't care about them, since he was very sure no harm would come to them.
The man had even forgotten that he used a fake address while registering for the loan, so he ran away and went into hiding.
All through the night, Jia Li did not sleep. She sat on her bed and was staring into space.
When the servant woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, she was almost scared out of her wits, seeing Jia Li staring into space.
After seeing Jia Li, in that state, the Servant couldn't fall asleep again. She went out to use the bathroom and returned to sit on the extra bed placed in the room.
She sat there and accompanied Jia Li till morning.
The next morning, Jia Li had her breakfast and went to sit in the dining area, since the old man wanted her presence.
Jia Li refused to eat and eat there motionlessly.
Fu Hua glanced at her and didn't say anything to her. He could at least tell she wasn't in a good state of mind.
Grandfather Fu did not have a good appetite either, because Jia Li was not like herself. But he managed to eat a little before he left the house for Jia Li's
When their cars stopped in front of the vandalized property, they came down from the car and met some police people that have been standing guard there.
Because of the presence of the security that was guarding that place, no third broke in to steal anything.
As Jia Li glanced at the house lost in thought, Fu Hua talked a bit with the police, while grandfather Fu stood close to her.
"Miss Qin, you can go in to take a look." Fu Hua said from the side.
"Let's go." Grandfather Fu said to the attention of Jia Li.
Like a wooden block, Jia Li was escorted inside the house.
As she stepped into the house, she couldn't recognize the place she once called home. Everything in the living room was wrecked, and her only family (Parents), were gone!
Fu Hua who has been watching her from the side walked towards her and said to her in a low tone when he saw that she was still motionless.
"Miss Qin, it's okay to cry"
Even after saying that to her, he didn't receive any response.
Grandfather Fu was worried about Jia Li because she was no different from a robot. When he consulted the doctor about her condition, he was told the only solution was for her to let out her feelings.
Grandfather Fu sighed as he watched from the side. So according to the doctor, he knew the only way for Jia Li to get well emotionally, was to cry and let out her feelings of anger, sadness, anguish, and hate.
Grandfather Fu knew that Jia Li was suffering a lot internally, by holding back her emotions, and if she continued in this state, her mental state could be affected.
Grandfather decided to try his luck to bring tears to her eyes.
"Jia Li, you can take a look around the house. According to the police, the loan sharks destroyed things in the living room, but the other places are still intact. You can check if anything is missing."
Jia Li nodded and started entering the rooms in the house one after the other, not to search for anything but to recall all the memories she had with her parents, just like Grandfather Fu's aim.
Jia Li blocked her emotions and just walked around the house. When she walked into her parents' bedroom and saw their family picture, she said at it for a while before walking away.
Fu Hua who knew his grandfather's plans was not surprised that it didn't work. But he knew with time, Jia Li will return to her usual self.
As Fu Hua was talking with his grandfather, he received a call from the police, so he took few steps away to answer the call.
He returned to his old man's side 2 mins later.
"The police?." Grandfather Fu asked.
"Yes. They managed to get a hold of Jia Li's uncle 5 minutes ago, and they are on their way to the station." Fu Hus replied.
"Where did they find him?." Grandfather Fu asked.
"He was hiding at a local casino. He had a little cash with him, so he was gambling." Fu Hua revealed.
Jia Li's uncle used the money the loan sharks rejected, to gamble, in hopes that he might be lucky to win some money.
He was gambling when he was caught.
It was easy to get him after the loan sharks provided the information of the gambling houses he used to frequent.
But how did they know he used to frequent gambling houses?
That's because they used to go there to gamble as well. They cheat the weak and take over their money, and they have cheated the man so many times.
They usually used different people to cheat money from him, hence the idiot did not realize he was being okayed by the loan sharks.
When Jia Li's uncle was caught, he was so scared for his life. At first, he thought it was the loan sharks but when he saw it was the police that came for him, he relaxed for a bit because he thought his wife must have accused him of something.
He relaxed and thought it was a case that a simple explanation would do, or something like calling his wife over would sort the case.
It was only when he got to the police station that he knew he was in for a deep shit.
What shocked him more, was when he passed the cell and saw had the loan sharks in it.
If the loan sharks that were after him were arrested, what was he doing there?
That was the question he asked himself. He was thrown inside the cell and left there for a while to break any possible psychological barrier.
They were going to take a statement from him since they knew he was the genesis of the tragic incident that happened. But for now, they wanted him to know what it felt like to be imprisoned.
The amazing thing about his case was that he wasn't told what his crimes were. He was arrested and bundled I side the car.
And throughout their journey to the station, none of the policemen said a word to him.
They just threw him inside the cell when they got to the station and left him there all by himself.
When Jia Li came out from her Parents' bedroom, her grandfather Fu beckoned on her to come to his side.
"Jia Li, your uncle has been caught, do you want to go to the station to see him?" Grandfather asked.
He felt it was right to seek Jia Li's opinion since this matter involved a family member.
"Grandfather, for things like this, handle it according to the law, there is no need to involve me." Jia Li said emotionlessly.
How could she still care about the person that broke her home?
The person that snatched away from her happiness and ruined her family?
She was not God to be merciful.
The wicked and crime committees will be punished according to the law.
Fu Hua and grandfather Fu were not surprised by Jia Li's decision. If she had shown signs of pity towards her uncle, they would have thought something was wrong with her and would have sent her for brain surgery.
As Grandfather Fu received Jia Li's order, He immediately signaled Fu Hua to make a call and deal with the situation.
To bring justice for Jia Li, the old man made sure that all the people involved in her parent's death, were sent to life imprisonment with heavy labor.
They were also not allowed to receive visitors or see any members of their families.
So just like that, their verdict was given before they were sent to court for their trial.
When it was time to leave, Grandfather Fu seed for Jia Li's permission to do a little renovation on the house.
He wasn't going to change everything in the house. The work that needed to be done, was just to change the doors and windows, and replace or fix the things that were broken.
Jia Li nodded in response.
"Thank you, Grandfather, I will appreciate your help." Jia Li said to the old man.
"You don't have to thank me, we are family." Grandfather Fu replied as he managed a smile.
When they walked out of the house, there were close neighbors already waiting outside for Jia Li.
They heard from the police that the Qin couple was rushed to the hospital after the loan sharks attacked them, but they were not sure of the insider news.
