Chapter 1107: Chapter 547: High Morale? The Arrival of a Newcomer (Part 2)
Xia Xiyi was somewhat incredulous.
But the other person didn’t feel at all that they were wrong.
Instead, they scoffed.
"Otherwise? You’re already an adult. Such a big person, you should be clear in your heart about who to date and who not to associate with."
"But look at what you did yourself? Even if you’ve caused a mess now, it’s your own doing. It’s not anyone else’s fault, nothing much to do with us outsiders."
"And the reason I’m doing this is just to cut losses promptly. Besides, your brother will have to get married and have children in the future, and he’s also about to go to college with many expenses. Even if I ask for some compensation from the other party to support your brother, what’s wrong with that? We’re family, isn’t this quite normal?"
Seeing the other person’s indifferent expression and somewhat cold tone.
Xia Xiyi could hardly believe her ears.
But just at this moment, Luo Fei quickly stepped forward.
And handcuffed the other person.
"Ms. Qian, you are under arrest for extortion."
Just seeing Luo Fei actually arrest her.
Ms. Qian thought she must have heard wrong.
"Officer, no, Xia Xiyi and I are family. I feel very sad about what happened to her. But I’m genuinely thinking for her sake. I asked for that money for her too!"
Seeing the other party almost instantly change their tune.
Their tone changed completely.
Luo Fei, however, coldly smiled and retorted.
"Is that so, then if you had received that money, would you have shared it with Xia Xiyi?"
"And if she truly agreed with what you did, then why did she know nothing about this, and did you sign any agreement in front of the police?"
This question left the other person somewhat embarrassed instantly.
"Mr. Luo, I can testify. That money was secretly requested by Ms. Qian from me, asking me to give it to her. I can also say that Xia Xiyi was completely unaware of it."
Upon hearing the sound, they looked over.
Seeing Huang Weiming at the time.
He was somewhat ashamed.
Xia Xiyi on the side also didn’t deny it.
"That’s right, I knew nothing about this matter. And her so-called consideration for me is completely unfounded."
Xia Xiyi actually said this, making Ms. Qian stomp her feet in anger.
"You ungrateful girl, how can you talk like this."
"I raised you for so many years, always regarded you as my own, and this is how you repay me? Alright, you’ve really angered me!"
Seeing Ms. Qian’s face turn red with anger.
Xia Xiyi, however, scoffed coldly.
"Ms. Qian, if raising me for so many years means always figuring out ways to repress me, always putting your biological son before me, then you’ve truly done it flawlessly."
"But this time, it’s my own matter, and you made decisions unilaterally without discussing with me. This money is dirty, it’s what you extorted."
As Xia Xiyi spoke, her tone was very serious.
Luo Fei on the side also said.
"Miss Xia is right. Indeed, this time she cannot help you. Otherwise, she would become an accomplice to a fraudster."
"So Ms. Qian, we truly apologize, not because we won’t forgive you, but because what you did has indeed broken the law."
Seeing Luo Fei’s firm attitude.
Xia Xiyi also wouldn’t help her testify.
The most critical point was.
Even Huang Weiming stepped forward.
Ms. Qian could only continuously plead.
"Mr. Luo, I was wrong. It was my fault, I shouldn’t have asked for this money, I’ll return the remaining amount to Mr. Huang, okay?"
Seeing her make this request.
Luo Fei also said.
"Mr. Huang, you are the victim of extortion in this case."
"So whether or not to forgive the other party, this decision is up to you."
Luo Fei’s analysis allowed the other side to slightly breathe a sigh of relief.
"In that case, Mr. Luo, let’s proceed according to official procedures. As long as my stepmother can return this money, I can show some leniency and forgive her. But she must sign a divorce agreement with my father. Otherwise, I will join Mr. Huang in filing a joint lawsuit to hold her accountable."
Seeing the other person say this seriously.
Ms. Qian was shocked beyond measure.
Almost couldn’t believe her ears.
"Xia Xiyi, have you gone mad? Are you rebelling?"
Seeing that the other person was somewhat incredulous.
Almost couldn’t believe her ears.
Yet, Xia Xiyi was speaking in all seriousness.
"Ms. Qian, I know you must be baffled. You don’t understand why I’m doing this. But even then, it’s still your own doing. It’s not my fault."
Xia Xiyi seized the opportunity.
After all, her dissatisfaction with Ms. Qian was not just a day or two.
And seeing the other person’s firm attitude.
Ms. Qian couldn’t resist sneering.
"Alright, this time I’ll let this girl have her way. Anyway, I only promised her verbally, it doesn’t have to count."
But almost simultaneously, Luo Fei had already shaken his phone.
"Ms. Qian, what you just said, I’ve recorded it. So it’s best if you do as you say, rather than thinking about breaking an agreement. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious."
"Afterward I will also send the recording to Xia Xiyi’s father."
This revelation.
Almost made Ms. Qian faint.
Just watched her tearfully write a guarantee letter.
And left contact information for Huang Weiming.
Xia Xiyi, however, somewhat bewilderedly asked.
"Mr. Luo, be honest, the reason you’re doing this is just to catch her, right? Or do you have another motive?"
The other motive Xia Xiyi referred to.
Was naturally asking.
If Luo Fei hoped she would forgive Huang Weiming.
But seeing her somewhat surprised.
A slight expression of unease appeared on her face.
Luo Fei, however, smiled.
"Miss Xia, you’ve misunderstood. I absolutely have no such intention. After all, the harm caused to you by Huang Weiming back then was enormous. So whether or not to forgive him is entirely your decision. I’m just here to help recover the money for him. By the way, it also helps to keep you away from Ms. Qian."
But that was what Luo Fei said, his tone sincere, calmly assured.
But in Xia Xiyi’s view, the matter was far from simple.
"Mr. Luo, I appreciate your kind intentions."
"However, I also indeed cannot easily forgive the other party. So I truly apologize."
But seeing that Xia Xiyi was somewhat hesitant to speak.
Luo Fei merely shook his head with a smile.
"Miss Xia, you’ve thought too much. I really have no intention of forcing you to forgive the other party. But I hope, you can maintain a positive attitude. Even if you don’t forgive the other party, you should let it go for your own sake, right?"
What Luo Fei said, his tone was profoundly earnest.
This instantly warmed Xia Xiyi’s heart.
A surge of gratitude arose.
But even so, she could still not forgive Huang Weiming.
So Luo Fei could only temporarily give it up.
...
Early the next day.
By the time Luo Fei arrived at the major crime unit.
Su Jianfan and Li Yu had already arrived.
Even Lin Qingshan, who usually liked to arrive just on time, and Han Tiesheng had come a few minutes early.
"This surprised Luo Fei quite a bit.
"Old Han, this isn’t like you, you usually arrive just on time. But why today come deliberately early?"
Seeing Luo Fei was somewhat surprised, apparently not expecting it.
Old Han, however, simply smiled.
"Mr. Luo, isn’t this quite natural?"
"Today, newcomers are joining. Since it’s their first day here, we surely need to leave a good impression, right?"
Old Han said this quite seriously.
But Luo Fei just shook his head with a smile.
"Oh well, even if you perform well these few days, after a while, your true nature will show again. Isn’t every time you arrive just on time and borrow others’ lighters?"
What Luo Fei said, his tone was somewhat amusing.
But at this moment, two figures had already appeared at the entrance of the major crime unit.
Moreover, they stood tall and straight.
"Hello, Mr. Luo, hello comrades!"
Only to see that the two who had arrived were both female colleagues.
This took everyone by surprise.
