Both of them are innocent and have no intention of having such a relationship.

Li Mu was happy to see Zhou Chunhong transform from a nagging and complaining middle-aged woman into an independent and confident woman.

……

In recent weekends, Zhu Yongping seems to be thinking of his son. Every Sunday, he takes him swimming, shopping, or to the amusement park, as if trying to make up for the missing fatherly love.

That day, just as the two came out of the mall, Zhu Yongping received a phone call, and his expression suddenly became tense.

"Wang Yao, what's the matter?"

"Are you obsessed? I know he's your brother, sigh..."

"Where are you now? I'm coming right now!"

Sooner or later, he'll be dragged down by your brother.

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Yongping looked unwell.

"Chaoyang, Dad has something to take care of and can't be with you today."

Li Mu said, "It's alright, you can go ahead and get busy."

Zhu Yongping patted his head and hurriedly drove away.

Li Mu watched Zhu Yongping walk away, then thought about the conversation. Could it be that Wang Yao's younger brother, Wang Li, had returned and caused some trouble?

This guy is a ruthless one. He committed a crime in his youth, and after getting out, he went to live in a small country in the south.

According to the original plot, Zhu Chaoyang almost killed Wang Yao when he returned to Ningzhou to visit his sister this year.

He was ruthless; when facing Officer Chen, he immediately stabbed him.

No one would believe that a man like this doesn't have a few cases on his record. Now that he's back in Ningzhou, given his personality, it's impossible for him to avoid trouble whenever he gets into a conflict with someone.

Li Mu found a newsstand and bought a local Ningzhou newspaper. One article reported that a vicious fight had occurred yesterday in the Ningzhou Square area, resulting in someone being seriously stabbed.

The newspaper also published a side profile photo of the suspect, which was not very clear and was probably taken by surveillance cameras.

Li Mu felt a sense of familiarity; the character did indeed resemble Wang Li from the drama.

Now Li Mu understood why Zhu Yongping had left in such a hurry. It was probably because Wang Li had committed a crime and wanted to escape, so he needed Zhu Yongping's help.

Even if Zhu Yongping didn't want to help, with Wang Yao around, he couldn't refuse.

Li Mu carefully recalled the address Wang Yao had given him on the phone.

Thanks to his good memory and hearing, he vaguely heard it and wrote it down.

Since that's the case, I'd feel a bit resentful if I didn't do something.

Because of the plot change, he and Wang Li will no longer have any connection, but it's still very unpleasant to watch someone like that run away.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Mu went to a public phone booth.

He pinched his throat to make his voice sound rough, like an adult.

Then he picked up the phone and started dialing.

"Hello, is this 110? I need to report a crime."

“I saw Xian Fan, who committed the crime in the square yesterday, and he looked like he was about to run away.”

"The address is ..."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mu felt a sense of relief.

The deed is done; the outcome is now up to fate.

If Wang Li is lucky enough to escape this calamity, then he's lucky to have survived, and we'll accept that.

……

Two days later, Li Mu returned home from school and saw his mother, Zhou Chunhong, bringing a little girl home. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Zhu Jingjing.

"Mom, why is she here?"

Zhou Chunhong's expression was neither happy, relieved, nor gloating.

“Zhu Yongping and Wang Yao were arrested. They don’t have any relatives in Ningzhou, so they called me to ask me to take care of Zhu Jingjing for a few days.”

Li Mu exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!" Wasn't it Wang Li who committed a crime? Why were Zhu Yongping and Wang Yao arrested as well?

"What happened to them? Why were they arrested?"

Zhou Chunhong explained, "I heard that they knew about the crime but didn't report it, helping the fugitive escape and avoid being caught by the police."

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, feeling quite emotional, never expecting that the two of them would stumble in this place.

As she spoke, Zhou Chunhong beckoned Zhu Jingjing over and pointed to Li Mu, saying, "This is your Chaoyang brother."

Zhu Jingjing was no longer the spoiled brat she used to be. She glanced timidly at Li Mu and called out very obediently, "Brother Chaoyang."

Li Mu patted his head: "Hello, Jingjing."

Zhou Chunhong smiled and said, "Alright, you can stay at home for the next few days, study hard, and ask your brother Chaoyang if you don't understand something."

Zhu Jingjing nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

……

Two days later, more information came in, and Li Mu finally understood the whole story.

The police arrived at just the right time and blocked Wang Li's escape attempt. During the incident, Wang Yao tried to cover for him, but the police saw through her plan.

Then Zhu Yongping and the others were all taken away for investigation.

With Wang Li's arrest, several other cases involving him were also uncovered, and it's said he'll never get out of prison.

The police have thoroughly investigated the matter concerning Wang Yao and Zhu Yongping and have ascertained the facts. It was primarily Wang Li's sister, Wang Yao, who helped him evade police capture and flee.

Zhu Yongping was very reluctant, and after several attempts to persuade her, he could only acquiesce to Wang Yao's actions.

Some of the punishment results have already been released. Zhu Yongping was given an administrative detention of 15 days and a fine of 5,000 yuan because he was not the mastermind, his circumstances were minor, and he showed a good attitude in admitting his guilt.

Wang Yao's case is more serious and requires court proceedings; the verdict is not yet available. However, our country has a long-standing tradition of protecting relatives from wrongdoing. For crimes committed by immediate family members, if there are mitigating circumstances such as harboring or concealing the perpetrator, the court may reduce or even exempt some of the criminal liability.

In such cases, judges have a great deal of discretion. The specific judgment depends on the degree of harm the suspect poses to society and the extent to which relatives provide cover-up. Judges must take these factors into consideration.

Upon hearing the results, Li Mu sighed for a long time.

It can't be said that Wang Yao did anything wrong; after all, he's his own brother. How many people would be willing to put aside their own family for the greater good?

But compared to her original ending, it's already good enough.

Chapter 55 The End

That morning, Li Mu received a call from Pu Pu.

"Brother Chaoyang, Xinxin just had surgery, and her condition is under control."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Congratulations, Pu Pu."

Pu Pu said happily, "Thank you, Brother Chaoyang, we are so grateful for your help."

Li Mu said, "Of course, we're friends!"

Pupu smiled sweetly and said, "Yes, Brother Chaoyang, you will always be my good friend."

"Brother Chaoyang, I want to be a doctor in the future, to heal the sick and save lives, and to help others."

Li Mu said, "Okay, I believe in you. Go Pu Pu!"

"I will, Brother Chaoyang."

……

After hanging up the phone, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling quite pleased.

Two months ago, under his encouragement, Zhang Dongsheng ran around doing everything he could. His family's training institution promised to donate 150,000 yuan, and the charity finally agreed to include Pu Pu's younger brother as a recipient of aid and help raise funds.

A little over a month ago, the funds were finally raised and connected with the hospital where Pu Pu's younger brother was receiving treatment, bringing the matter to a satisfactory conclusion.

Meanwhile, Yan Liang, after a month or two of hard work as a construction worker, had matured and learned a lot. Seeing that Xin Xin had hope, he finally stopped hiding and immediately called Officer Chen.

During this meeting with Lao Chen, he was very kind and showed Lao Chen's goodwill and care, which made him feel ashamed. He had always misunderstood Lao Chen, and only after suffering a lot recently did he begin to understand him. The two actually got along very well.

Because of Lao Chen, Yan Liang even decided to become a policeman in the future. Compared to when he first came to Ningzhou a few months ago, he has undergone a complete transformation.

Li Mu could only offer his silent blessings, hoping that his dream would come true.

……

That day, Li Mu was watching the news when he learned that the court had already delivered its verdict on Wang Li's case. Because he was involved in multiple cases, he was sentenced to life imprisonment and deprived of his political rights for life.

Wang Yao's case was recently adjudicated by the court. Due to her good attitude in admitting her guilt, and based on the principle of protecting relatives from harm, she was given a lighter sentence of three months of detention.

With the time he spends in the detention center, he'll be out soon.

For Wang Yao, this result was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

……

As November approached, Li Mu returned home from school one day, and Zhou Chunhong said with a mix of emotion and gossip, "Teacher Zhang has had it so tough, to encounter something like this."

Li Mu's heart tightened upon hearing this. With the mission almost complete, could something have gone wrong with Zhang Dongsheng?
