Gong Wushang didn't want to end up in the police station again, so he left angrily.
Seeing Luo Yingying crying her heart out in Yan Yan's arms, he didn't disturb them. After helping them sort things out, he left silently.
But who would have thought that just a couple of days later, she received a text message saying that her money had been returned.
What was going on?
Just as she was about to call Luo Yingying to ask, in Huo Qizheng's office, the secretary knocked gently on the door. "President, Mr. Yan Yan is here."
Yan Yan had taken a special leave today. Thanks to Zhu Shuangyao's introduction, he was dressed in a formal suit instead of his usual casual wear or police uniform. As soon as he entered the office, he got straight to the point. "Mr. Huo, let's cooperate."
"Yan Yan is no ordinary person? He's the second young master of the Yan family?" This was a highly dramatic turn of events. But what was going on? Listening to Yingying's words, Zhu Shuangyao's mind was filled with more and more questions.
Actually, the matter was quite simple. Yan Yan wanted to be a police officer, but his family thought it was too dangerous and disagreed. So he had a big fight with them and started working his way through school. Finally, he became a criminal police officer. But he got seriously injured while chasing a criminal and had to lie in bed for two months. When he got out, he found that his family had pulled some strings and he'd been temporarily transferred to be a beat cop. Although he'd get his old position back after he recovered, this still made him extremely angry. He had another huge fight with his family and cut off all ties with them.
But now, Gong Wushang had forced him to give up the life he wanted. He went back and apologized to his family, and got his personal assets back.
Luo Yingying felt sad and heart - broken, but there was also a faint sense of happiness in her heart. "Actually, I could tell that he was unhappy. This was a very difficult decision for him, but he still made it without hesitation. I really... I really..."
By the end, she was sobbing uncontrollably.
But she quickly regained her composure. Zhu Shuangyao sighed softly and comforted her. "It's okay. Since he's made this decision, you should trust him."
Luo Yingying choked back her tears. "I know. I've always trusted him."
"Think about it. He did this for you. He loves you so much. Don't be sad, don't be sad." Zhu Shuangyao smiled and consoled her.
Meanwhile, Huo Qizheng asked the same question. "You went back to the Yan family for Luo Yingying?"
Yan Yan scratched his head shyly. "Well, yes and no. The reason I left home back then was partly because the situation in the Yan family was too complicated. They always tried to persuade me to fight with my elder brother for power. But I never had that kind of thought. I just wanted to be a police officer. That was my dream.
"This time, Gong Wushang really crossed my line. Before, he caused us trouble and tried to drive a wedge between us. Those things didn't really matter.
"But this time, it was a matter of life and death. Even though the doctor was willing to pay for us, someone had interfered with the process. This time it was Yingying's mother, and we were still able to save her in time. But what about next time? Next time it might be an ordinary citizen. What if they also encounter this kind of corruption?"
He smiled. "It's obvious that there's a conspiracy behind this. I'm not at a high enough level to investigate the details. And only capital can fight against capital."
This kind - hearted and good - tempered young police officer showed for the first time the sharpness and acumen of a scion of a noble family. "I know you must have a way to deal with the alliance between the AN Group and the Gong family. I want to cooperate with you. I don't have any special requests. I just want a share when the Gong family falls."
Huo Qizheng finally started to take this determined man seriously. "You seem to trust me a lot. Aren't you afraid of losing everything?"
He really wasn't afraid. The money and assets he brought were partly the living fund set up for every Yan family member since birth, and partly the money he'd earned from the stock market through a company he founded in high school.
Well, those assets had been frozen later. Since he was busy with classes and the police academy provided food and accommodation, he didn't need the money, so he stopped thinking about making more. These were his personal assets, not related to the Yan family. If he lost them, so be it.
Most importantly, although he'd had few interactions with this man, as a police officer with years of experience, he had a hunch that this man was dangerous, but as long as Zhu Shuangyao was around, he could be trusted.
Yan Yan didn't say much. He just held out his hand. "Happy cooperation."
Huo Qizheng shook his hand in return. "Happy cooperation."
"Yaoyao, I used to think that although there were many things in this world that were beyond our control, I never thought I'd encounter such a situation. I thought I could create a good life for myself with my own hands. But I was wrong. In front of those powerful forces, I'm just like an ant." Luo Yingying said dejectedly.
She used to be an optimist. No matter what happened, she was like a little sun. But now it seemed that she'd been hurt deeply.
In this world, there were always things that made us feel helpless, but that didn't mean there was no hope in life. There was always a way out.
Zhu Shuangyao said to Luo Yingying. "Yingying, do you remember when we were in high school and we met those desperadoes?"
There was a very thin boy in their class. His father was a gambler. He and his mother had finally managed to get away from him, but in the end, the gambler still found them. He owed money to loan - sharks, and those debt collectors were desperadoes. Zhu Shuangyao and Luo Yingying were accidentally kidnapped with them.
At that time, they were unarmed. The strength of two girls was no match for those desperadoes. They were almost in despair. But even then, Zhu Shuangyao didn't want to give up. She forced herself to calm down, conserve her energy, and observe the situation around her. Whenever the kidnappers called their relatives to ask for ransom, she quietly sent out their location using a secret code.
Finally, with the joint efforts of both sides, Zhu Shuangyao successfully led the little boy and Luo Yingying to be rescued.
She said to Luo Yingying. "Yingying, you didn't give up back then. Why are you giving up now? There's always a way out. Everything will be solved."
Luo Yingying's eyes were red. "Yaoyao, I understand all the道理. But the reality is too cruel for me now. Do bad people always get away with it?"
Zhu Shuangyao said. "No, trust me. No, they won't. Luo Yingying, wake up! If others go astray, do you have to follow them? Auntie wouldn't want to see you like this. Have you forgotten what she taught you since you were a child?"
She hadn't forgotten. She was supposed to be a kind person. She always remembered.
She said to Zhu Shuangyao. "I remember. I should be a kind person."
