"Is three years okay?" Yang Dazhi asked cautiously.

"Sure, no problem, it's just a matter of a word."

"Thank you, brother."

"Let's just close Wang Yizhong's case! Dragging it out for too long might be bad for you. It's good to bring his son in now, since there's no one to pull strings for him."

There was much speculation that Yang Dazhi was behind it, but no one dared to say it openly because of Huang Shuyuan's status.

"it is good"

"As for Yu Jianfei, he'll just serve a year in jail as a token gesture, and then release him once people have forgotten about it."

"Okay, I'll listen to my older brother."

Yang Dazhi thought for a moment but decided against revealing Xia Yichu's family in Kyoto, fearing his brother-in-law might hesitate to help him. Zhang Shanshan was right; as long as he didn't touch Xia Yichu, he would be fine.

"Dazhi, let's have a proper celebration when you become the factory manager. By the way, keep the person who has your photo in check; it's best not to let her cause any trouble before you become the factory manager."

Yesterday, after Yang Dazhi and Wang Shengli finished their fight and returned home, Yang Dazhi called him. Huang Shuyuan said this was a good opportunity. As long as they arrested both Wang Dazhi and his son, no one would dare to stand up for Wang Yizhong.

Regarding Yang Dazhi's mention of Wang Shengli's friend having his photos, Huang Shuyuan told him not to take it to heart, and that she would help resolve the matter. It would be best if it didn't become a big deal, but even if it did, she wasn't worried; with her there, everything would be fine.

As for Wang Yizhong's wife, there's no need to pay her any attention; all she does is cry, and she's not worth mentioning at all.

After thinking about it all night, Yang Dazhi decided early this morning to report Wang Shengli to the police for arrest.

"Brother, she just came to see me and asked me to release Wang Shengli before six o'clock today. I don't want to release Wang Shengli, so the matter of the photos might not be stable."

"What a boastful tone! This person is too arrogant. Don't worry, I'm here! Don't worry."

Yang Dazhi flattered his brother-in-law a few times before hanging up the phone, and then went out to find someone to inquire about Xia Yichu and Wang Shengli.

Xia Yichu was already at the Wang family's house. She wasn't sure if Yang Dazhi would release Wang Shengli, so she only told Wang Shengli's mother to wait a little longer, without saying that Wang Shengli would be released before six o'clock.

That evening, she and Wang Zhijie had dinner at Wang's house; Wang Zhijie bought the groceries and cooked the meal.

"Auntie, please eat a little bit."

Xia Yichu put some meat and vegetables on her plate, watching her eat rice grain by grain without picking up any vegetables.

"Auntie, Shengli will be fine. You should eat something quickly, otherwise he will worry when he comes back and sees you like this."

"I can't eat. Our family has never done anything wrong, how did we end up like this?"

Wang Shengli's mother choked up as she spoke, tears streaming down her face again. Xia Yichu and Wang Zhijie could only keep comforting her.

"Auntie, Shengli was arrested because of me. Don't cry, I will get him out."

"Yichu, that's not how it is. Shengli told me that you've done a lot for my family."

Shengli harbored resentment towards Yang Dazhi because of his father's situation, and his anger towards him had been burning for a long time, which is why he attacked him yesterday. Don't blame yourself, neither of us did anything wrong; it was Yang Dazhi who was too wicked.

She has never blamed Xia Yichu since the incident occurred. Her son told her that Yichu, a young girl, actually followed Yang Dazhi because of her family's affairs. She was worried for Xia Yichu because of this, but thankfully she was alright in the end.

"Yes, Auntie is right. We're all innocent. It's the bad guys who are really bad. Auntie, you must eat well. Uncle and Shengli still need you. You absolutely can't collapse."

"it is good"

Wang Shengli's mother managed to eat half a bowl of rice, but couldn't eat any more, so Xia Yichu and Wang Zhijie didn't try to persuade her anymore.

"Yichu, I'll take you home."

After finishing dinner, Wang Zhijie washed the dishes and came out around seven o'clock. Xia Yichu looked out the door with a dark expression; Yang Dazhi hadn't let Wang Shengli go back.

Yesterday, Wang Shengli told her that he wanted to use photos of Wu Yan and Yang Dazhi to blackmail him into releasing his father. Xia Yichu felt that this was inappropriate, as it could easily lead to Yang Dazhi turning the tables on her, and it might not even be effective in threatening him.

"No need, I'll go back by myself. You take good care of Auntie."

After saying goodbye to Wang Shengli's mother, Xia Yichu left. She wanted to take the recording pen she was carrying to the director of the Public Security Bureau to test it.

If that still doesn't work, she'll have to ask Wu Mingli for help. So many days have passed, time is tight, and she has no better solution.

"Auntie, I'm going to set up a street stall. If you need anything, just come find me."

After Xia Yichu left, Wang Zhijie felt it wasn't convenient for him to stay. He planned to set up a street stall nearby and find a place to sleep that night, so that Wang Shengli's mother could easily reach him if needed.

"Okay, don't worry about me, I'm fine."

She stroked the cat's head and said that Xia Yichu had originally planned to bring the cat and dog with her when she got back, but she forgot about it in her haste to leave.

Xia Yichu went directly to the vicinity of the Luohua District Public Security Bureau. As far as she knew, in the 1990s, the residence of the police chief was not far from his office.

As soon as Xia Yichu arrived near the branch office, she began to wander around asking about the director's residence. She was lucky and soon learned the director's address from a kind old man.

She climbed in while the gatekeeper wasn't looking, and now that it was dark, Xia Yichu easily arrived at the director's house. His house was a dormitory assigned by his work unit, and the old man's family might be related to him.

Xia Yichu knew exactly which building and floor the bureau chief lived in, and she put the voice recorder in a bag and hung it on his door. The voice recorder she gave him was a copy made by Xia Yichu; she kept the original for herself.

He lived on the top floor, so Xia Yichu wasn't worried about someone taking the recording pen. After putting her things away, she left immediately. Although she knew it might not work, she still wanted to try.

Bang bang bang!

In the morning, Xia Yichu was awakened by a knock on the door while she was still sleeping. Thinking of Wang Shengli, she immediately got up, dressed, and went out to open the door.

Deputy Factory Director Yang

Xia Yichu opened the door, and outside stood Yang Dazhi and a strange man, who was about the same age as Yang Dazhi.

"Miss Xia, would you mind if we went inside to talk? This is my brother-in-law, he is the deputy director of the Luohua District Police Station."

Xia Yichu had just woken up and was still a little dazed when she saw them.

"Miss Xia, hello, my surname is Huang."

After Huang Shuyuan introduced herself, she looked at her with a half-smile. Youth is naive; she thought that giving the recording pen to Director Zhang would be enough.

"Come in!"

Xia Yichu realized that letting them in was definitely not a good thing. She had just given the recording pen to that bureau chief yesterday, and they came to her door today.

Xia Yichu stepped aside to let the two of them go in, leaving the door wide open before going in herself.

"Deputy Director Huang, Deputy Factory Director Yang, please sit in the yard. It's inconvenient for me to let you into my house since I'm home alone."

Xia Yichu pointed to the stone table and chairs in the courtyard and said that she had left the gate wide open again, believing that they wouldn't dare to do anything to her in broad daylight.

"it is good"

Yang Dazhi had no objections; with Huang Shuyuan around, he wouldn't dare have any thoughts about Xia Yichu. Besides, after learning about Xia Yichu's family in Kyoto yesterday, he no longer dared to have any ideas about her.

"Then you sit for a while, I'll go wash my face."

After Xia Yichu left, Huang Shuyuan said to Yang Dazhi, "This girl is not simple. She is not old, but she is not flustered at all when she sees us coming to visit."

He's just a bit naive, perhaps inexperienced in the ways of the world, and doesn't understand the workings of officialdom.
