The comeback begins in a courtyard house

Upon hearing Bai Ling's words, Wei Yifeng stopped in his tracks, his face filled with disbelief.

According to his memory, Chen Xueru's husband did indeed run away with his mistress, but he wasn't sure of the exact time. Could it be that his appearance caused Chen Xueru's face to be disfigured, allowing her to be robbed of her home ahead of time?

"Sister Ling! How is Chen Xueru now? Does she still have anyone at home? Where did her husband run off to? That kind of person is simply scum and degenerate. How could he do something like abandoning his wife and children? Even if two people can't live together and have no feelings for each other, they can get a divorce. Divorce is not a shameful thing. Even the last emperor got a divorce."

Thinking that Chen Xueru's face was disfigured because he had exposed the spies, he still felt a little guilty. He had originally planned to give her the system's reward so that she could remove the scars on her face, but he did not expect that such a change had happened in Chen Xueru's family.

"Who says otherwise! A man like that should be shot at. But the two of them don't have any children right now. After this incident, she finally saw the man's true colors. It's just a pity for Chen Xueru, who is in the hospital."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. The New Year is almost here, so you must be careful during this time. You've helped the Municipal Bureau arrest several enemy agents recently, and I'm worried that their accomplices might retaliate. You must be careful, and contact me immediately if anything happens. Don't act on your own."

During the Spring Festival period, cases occurred frequently, making it a high-incidence period for enemy agents to carry out sabotage. Bai Ling couldn't help but give a few words of advice, and the two arrived at the Intermediate People's Court while they were talking.

"Jia Dongxu! Qin Huairu! And Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu, come out quickly, there's news about your mother, Jia Zhangshi."

Standing at the entrance of the Intermediate People's Court, Wei Yifeng shouted at the top of his lungs.

Wei Yifeng's voice immediately attracted everyone's attention, but after realizing that Wei Yifeng had said that there was news about their mother, everyone couldn't help but show a smile that was hard to hide.

"Wei Yifeng, what nonsense are you spouting! Jia Zhangshi is your aunt, don't lump her together. Is it that Officer Bai is about to release Jia's sister-in-law? Dongxu, come out quickly, let's go pick up your mother."

Yi Zhonghai, who had just finished get off work and hadn't even returned to his room yet, heard Wei Yifeng's shout and immediately walked up to them with a dark face. He first corrected Wei Yifeng's words, and then said to Bai Ling with a smile.

"Master, I'm here. Shall we go now? Hello, Officer Bai! How is my mother?"

This morning, after receiving Wei Yifeng's letter of understanding, they immediately went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, but did not see Jia Zhangshi. After handing over the letter of understanding, the police officer who received them told them to come back and wait for news. Unexpectedly, there was a result so quickly.

Thinking that Jia Zhangshi would be returning soon, Jia Dongxu felt a pang of regret. Why had he let Sha Zhu get the letter of forgiveness? He still had so many tricks up his sleeve that he hadn't taught Qin Huairu yet! He had originally planned to use the few days Jia Zhangshi was away to practice those tricks with Qin Huairu, but now that seemed impossible. Their hard-won time together was about to end. "Old Jia, you just wait," he thought, "in a few days I'll get a portrait of Zhong Kui, the exorcist, and see if you dare bully me again."

"Jia Dongxu! Your mother was convicted of burglary, forcibly taking other people's property, and refusing to cooperate with the police investigation. Therefore, after careful consideration, we are now informing you of the punishment decision for Jia Zhangshi."

"Jia Zhangshi committed burglary involving a large sum of money and was sentenced to two months of labor reform..."

Just as Jia Dongxu was secretly regretting his actions, Bai Ling began to announce the punishment for Jia Zhangshi.

"What! He's sentenced to two months of hard labor!"

Jia Dongxu, who was initially feeling down, was overjoyed upon hearing the punishment decision. He had thought that his time with Qin Huairu was over, but he never expected such a surprise to await him. He couldn't help but beam with delight and stared at Bai Ling in disbelief, asking in surprise.

Upon hearing Jia Dongxu's words, Yi Zhonghai, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but show a hint of doubt on his face. He scrutinized Jia Dongxu from head to toe, and for some reason, he could hear a hint of joy in Jia Dongxu's voice.

Feeling Yi Zhonghai's scrutinizing gaze, Jia Dongxu suddenly came to his senses. He realized that he had been a little too complacent, and he hurriedly suppressed his joy, a hint of resentment and anxiety flashing across his face.

"Police officer Bai, are you mistaken? We received a letter of leniency, so why do you still want my mother to undergo two months of labor reform? Didn't we get the letter of leniency for nothing? Why did others who received letters of leniency return on the same day?"

Realizing what was happening, Jia Dongxu took a step forward, trying his best to appear anxious.

"Yes! Officer Bai, we submitted Wei Yifeng's letter of understanding to the Municipal Bureau this morning. How could he still be punished with two months of labor reform? Did you not see the letter of understanding?"

Seeing the anxious look on Jia Dongxu's face, Yi Zhonghai felt that he had misread it. How could such a filial child like Jia Dongxu be happy to come out after his mother had been undergoing two months of labor reform? He must have misread it. He hurriedly asked a question.

"Comrade Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai, please don't be anxious. This time, Jia Zhangshi committed burglary involving a huge amount of money. If it weren't for the fact that the victim has decided not to pursue her further and has issued a letter of understanding, Jia Zhangshi would not have been sentenced to two months; one or two years might have been possible. If you have any objections, you can report them to the Municipal Bureau. Also, please pay Jia Zhangshi's fine to the Municipal Bureau as soon as possible, otherwise, Jia Zhangshi's punishment period may be extended."

This time, Bai Ling went to great lengths to avenge Wei Yifeng. If Yi Zhonghai and his associates had connections or knowledge of criminal law, Bai Ling's words would be completely untenable, and she might even be criticized for her threatening tone.

However, Yi Zhonghai only had some status and connections in the courtyard house and the steel rolling mill. How would he know these things? As for Jia Dongxu, he was even less of a mama's boy. When he heard that Jia Zhangshi would extend the punishment time if he didn't pay the fine, his heart immediately panicked.

Although he longed to spend some time alone with Qin Huairu, he didn't want his mother to stay inside for too long, since Jia Zhangshi still had to manage the household affairs.

"Don't worry, Officer Bai, we will pay the fine as soon as possible. Do you see what Jia Zhangshi needs? We have never encountered such a thing before, and there are many things we don't understand."

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath, knowing that it was now a pipe dream to get Jia Zhangshi back before the new year. So he just hoped that Jia Zhangshi could have a better time during her two months of labor reform.

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Bai Ling didn't make things difficult for him. She simply told him what she needed, which was nothing more than preparing some clothes and the like. As for the rest, they wouldn't be needed.

After Bai Ling left the courtyard, Jia Dongxu glared at Wei Yifeng with resentment. If it weren't for his own mother, how could she have been arrested? Moreover, Sha Zhu had mortgaged the house to him, and in the end, he still had to pay a fine. His mother was also sentenced to two months of labor reform. If he had known this would happen, he would have preferred to let Sha Zhu give him the house so that his mother could stay in there for a few more days.

"Dongxu, don't think too much about it. Go home and pack your things. We'll go and bring your mom some clean clothes first. As for the fine, we'll discuss it when we get back."

Seeing Jia Dongxu's eyes, how could Yi Zhonghai not know what he was thinking? He quickly pulled him aside and whispered something. At this time, he didn't want to cause any more trouble, especially since he had been repeatedly taken advantage of by Wei Yifeng lately. Yi Zhonghai had developed a deep fear of Wei Yifeng, and before he was absolutely certain, he had decided to temporarily avoid conflict with Wei Yifeng to prevent being taken advantage of again.
