"Uncle Wu, I have several other kinds of tea. If you want some, I can get you some later. We really don't have the kind we drink anymore."

"Okay, give me some, I should go back now," Wu Mingli said without any politeness.

"Okay, I'll go get it."

After Xia Yichu left, Wu Mingli finished the rest of his tea, feeling refreshed and clear-headed. His headache was gone, and his mind was much clearer. Wu Qiuyue and the driver, who didn't know much about tea, just thought it tasted exceptionally good.

"Uncle Wu, I brought you four kinds of tea, two ounces of each kind. Take them home and try them. Brother Li, this packet is for you. Everyone gets a share, Qiuyue too."

Xia Yichu packed two kinds of tea for Wu Qiuyue and driver Xiao Li, half the amount that Wu Mingli had packed.

"this"

Xiao Li was at a loss when he saw the packet of tea that Xia Yichu handed him. He looked at Wu Mingli.

"Why are you looking at me? Take it!"

Wu Mingli said irritably, "He's already accepted it himself, how could I not let him accept it? He has no sense at all."

"Oh, okay, thank you, Miss Xia."

"Thank you, Sister Yichu."

Seeing that they had all accepted the tea, Wu Qiuyue felt embarrassed to refuse and accepted the tea to express her gratitude.

"Xiao Chu, go and make me another cup of tea."

Wu Mingli, still wanting more after finishing his tea, handed the cup to Xia Yichu.

"it is good"

Xia Yichu took the cup to the kitchen; she hadn't thrown away the tea leaves from earlier. She had boiled a large kettle of water and there was still some left, so she added some more space water to fill it up and poured the tea leaves into the kettle.

Then, carrying the kettle in one hand and Wu Mingli's cup in the other, he went out. He placed Wu Mingli's cup on the table, filled it to the brim, and also poured a cup for Wu Qiuyue and the driver, Xiao Li.

The two of them watched this scene with surprise. They had been too embarrassed to tell Xia Yichu that they also wanted to drink.

"Xiao Chu, when did you get your phone installed? What's your home phone number?"

Wu Mingli drank a cup of tea and asked, "I just saw that Xia Yichu's house has a phone."

"It was installed during summer vacation; it's more convenient to have a telephone."

Wu Mingli raised an eyebrow but said nothing. No wonder Xia Yichu wanted to sell the jade pendant, and was also buying a house and installing a telephone. Xia Yichu took a piece of paper, wrote down his phone number, and gave it to Wu Mingli. He then poured himself two cups of tea, drank them, and left.

Ring ring ring!

Not long after they left, the phone rang at Xia Yichu's house.

"Feed"

"Hey, Yichu, it's me, I'm back."

Wang Shengli's excited voice came from the other end of the phone, because his father was alright too.

"Victory, it's good to be back. Did they beat you up inside?"

"No"

He was just arrested; perhaps Yang Dazhi didn't even have time to have his men beat him up.

"That's good. Uncle Wang might not be able to come out for another day or two."

"I know, Huang Shuyuan told me that he would release my father as soon as possible. Yichu, thank you, I really don't know how to thank you."

Wang Shengli's voice was filled with deep gratitude and excitement. As he spoke, his voice trembled more and more, and tears welled up uncontrollably in his eyes.

"Yichu, if it weren't for you, my dad and I wouldn't know what to do." Wang Shengli sobbed uncontrollably.

"It's good that you're alright. You should get some rest and take good care of your aunt so she won't worry."

"Okay, sure."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yichu glanced at the time and realized it was almost three o'clock. She found herself so sleepy that she went to bed.

At the Wang family home, Wang's mother hugged Wang Shengli and cried bitterly, thinking that her son would have to suffer a lot before he could get out.

"Mom, don't cry. Yichu said Dad will be out in the next day or two. You need to take good care of yourself, eat more, and take your medicine properly."

"real"

Zhijie just called to say her son would be home soon, and he would pick him up at the police station. After hanging up, Wang's mother still couldn't believe it; it felt like a dream.

"Really, not only Yichu said that, Huang Shuyuan also told me. We are so grateful to Yichu. Zhijie said she asked her dad's friend for help, otherwise my dad and I would have been okay."

"Okay, okay, I'll buy some things and bring them over to thank Yichu."

Wang's mother turned to leave, wanting to go back to her room to get money to buy things, but Wang Shengli grabbed her arm.

"Mom, don't bother. Let's wait until you're feeling better and Dad gets out before we go to thank Yichu."

"Yes! Auntie, you're still sick! The doctor said you need to rest more and not think too much. You can go see Yichu after you're better."

Wang Zhijie was happy for them; the Wang family had finally overcome this hurdle.

"Okay, I'll go rest now. Zhijie, thank you for your help lately."

"Auntie, it's no trouble at all, you should go and get some rest!"

Wang Shengli helped Wang's mother to her room to sleep, while Wang Zhijie fiddled with his things.

"Zhijie, thank you."

Wang Shengli saw that his mother was asleep, so he came out and saw Wang Zhijie tidying up his things.

"Shengli, we're friends, why are you being so polite? You've suffered a lot too, go and rest for a bit. I'm going to set up my stall to sell things, so if you need any help, just come find me there."

"it is good"

Wang Shengli was indeed very tired. He took a hot shower before going to sleep. He didn't know how long he slept, but he was woken up by the sound of cars outside. He quickly got dressed and got up.

"Mom, you're awake too! You sit down, I'll go out and take a look."

The Queen Mother held his hand tightly, filled with fear and trepidation; she was terrified.

"Victory, don't go. Are they coming to arrest you again?"

"Mom, don't worry, it can't be."

Wang Shengli comforted his mother, gently pried her hands open, and slowly walked towards the door.

Upon opening the door, Wang Shengli saw a car parked in front of him. As the car door opened, he was pleasantly surprised to find his father being helped out of the car.

"Dad!" Wang Shengli rushed forward, his eyes reddening.

Wang Yizhong excitedly hugged his son, "Victory, I'm back."

It turned out that Huang Shuyuan had sped up the process, and Wang Yizhong was released ahead of schedule. She even personally drove him home.

Hearing the sound, the Queen Mother walked shakily to the door. Seeing her husband return safely, she wept with joy, and the family embraced tightly.

"It's good to see you back. You've lost a lot of weight."

Wang's mother held Wang Yizhong's hand and said, "Not only have you lost weight, but you also look very haggard and several years older."

"The same to you"

Huang Shuyuan, standing beside him with a forced smile, said, "Brother Wang has suffered a lot, but it's good that he's back safe and sound."

Wang Yizhong looked at Huang Shuyuan in confusion, wondering why she was behaving so strangely towards him today. She had been the same way in the car, fawning over him and asking about his well-being the whole way. Now she was even calling him "Brother Wang," even though he was two years younger than her.

"Deputy Director Huang, is there anything else?"

Huang Shuyuan waved her hand, "It's alright, I'll be going now. If you need any help, you can come to the station to find me."

Wang Yizhong didn't reply. He watched Huang Shuyuan leave before the family went home.

"Victory, what's going on? Why did Huang Shuyuan suddenly release me, and why is she being so respectful to me?"

"Dad, this is what happened..."

Wang Shengli recounted how he was arrested and how Xia Yichu sought help from others.

"I see. Who did Yichu ask for help? Will it have any impact on her? She didn't agree to that person's conditions indiscriminately."

The person who could get Huang Shuyuan to release him in such a short time and then go to great lengths to please him must be no ordinary person.

"I don't know either. It shouldn't be. Zhijie said that person is Yichu's father's friend."

"That's good. We owe Yichu a huge favor this time, thanks to her."

"Dad, you go back and rest first. I will repay Yichu properly."

Wang Yizhong nodded without speaking. He was exhausted and unable to do anything; he needed to rest. There would be plenty of time in the future to repay Xia Yichu.
