Chapter 12 There's no escape anymore (4/4)

Wang Guifen was detained there by the police that same day.

Wang Guifen is suspected of framing and intentional homicide, and she will face a long prison sentence.

The moment she was locked behind the iron gate, Wang Guifen's eyes dimmed in despair.

It's over, it's all over...

If she had known she would end up like this, she would have been better off not plotting against Liu Hong in the first place and living a peaceful life. Now, not only is she in prison, but her partner's job will also be affected, and even their daughter's future work and life will be impacted.

People will point fingers at her daughter, and her daughter will never be able to hold her head high in the world because she has a mother who has been to prison.

Tears of regret streamed down Wang Guifen's face as she beat her chest and sobbed in despair.

She wished it were all a dream, and that when she woke up, none of this would have happened.

This time, she truly regretted it.

Driven by jealousy, she ended up losing more than she gained.

Unfortunately, there's no going back in this world.

People have to pay the price for their actions.

After leaving the police station, Liu Hong patted her chest, still feeling lingering fear. She linked her other arm with Su Wantang's, saying, "Little Tang, thank goodness you came today..."

"If it weren't for you, I would have been hit on the head with a brick and would be dead."

Recalling that scene, Liu Hong became even more horrified.

"It's alright," Su Wantang chuckled. "Aunt Liu, it's all in the past now. Wang Guifen has been arrested by the police, so this matter is over. But you must never trust others so easily in the future. You can't judge a book by its cover."

"Yes, you saved my life again today." Liu Hong looked at Su Wantang with relief and gently patted Su Wantang's hand. "I don't know how to thank you enough..."

Xiao Tang is a pitiful child. She lost her parents at a young age and has to live with her uncle and aunt. Her uncle's family is actually after Su Wantang's money...

“You were my mother’s best friend, so it’s only right that I help you,” Su Wantang said. “You watched me grow up, so you’re like family to me.”

"You silly child...you always have such a sweet tongue." Liu Hong chuckled gently. "But speaking of which, what brings you here?"

"I was still a little worried after I told you yesterday, so I planned to come and check again today. I didn't expect to see Wang Guifen trying to harm you as soon as I arrived."

"Speaking of which, you really are my lucky star." Liu Hong chuckled, his gaze softening as he looked at Su Wantang. He glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then whispered to Su Wantang, "Did you see the little yellow croaker I saved for you?"

"I saw it. Aunt Liu, I was already very happy that you gave me the food, why did you leave me with such a valuable thing?"

Unlike the Su family, a capitalist family, Aunt Liu's family was just an ordinary family with not much wealth.

The small yellow croakers in Aunt Liu's family were passed down from her ancestors, and there weren't many left by the time they reached her generation.

"You saved our whole family's lives, and all I'm giving you are two small yellow croakers. They're nothing valuable," Liu Hong said earnestly. "You must keep them safe; you might need them someday."

"Yes. Thank you, Aunt Liu." Su Wantang chuckled.

Liu Hong took Su Wantang to her home. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
