Chapter 179 The 179th Day of Not Running Away The First Day of Not Running Away...

Wang Hui's face showed a thoughtful expression.

He put the note away. "Okay, I understand. You did the right thing. Wang Xinghai is a dangerous person. If Lin Qingfeng wasn't lying, he was the one who managed to get those things in. He's definitely not an ordinary person."

Chen Bo asked, "How is Fengzi doing now? Has he been bullied inside?"

Wang Hui chuckled: "No one inside dares to mess with him; they all think he's a drug dealer."

He said to Chen Bozheng and Wen Chan, "Go see him as usual this month, but don't tell him about Wang Xinghai yet, just in case."

Chen Bo nodded.

Lin Qingfeng's matter remained on their minds.

Especially as the end of the year approached, Chen Bozheng felt even more uneasy. Aunt Lin and her family of three were all down-to-earth people. Although they had been a little arrogant when they suddenly became rich, they were still relatively down-to-earth at heart.

Lin Qingfeng went to jail, and the mother and her children started to live their lives again.

The day before Lunar New Year's Eve, Aunt Lin made a lot of fried meatballs and brought them to Chen Bozheng and the others.

Seeing how hard she was working, Chen Bo couldn't help but say, "Auntie, it's almost Chinese New Year, you should take a rest."

Aunt Lin waved her hand: "It's okay, I can still manage. It's the end of the year, a time to make money. Many people are frying meatballs and fish for the New Year's dishes. I'm not working hard, and I haven't done any heavy work."

Seeing the dark circles under her eyes, Wen Chan felt a pang of pity. "Why are you working so hard? If you ruin your health, how will your son feel if he finds out inside?"

Although Lin Qingfeng was arrested for suspected drug trafficking, Chen Bozheng and the others did not believe it. Monk, Fatty and others often helped Aunt Lin's family.

Lin Qingfeng's younger siblings don't have to worry about tuition fees. Part of the money donated by that swindler was used to help the children go to school. As for daily necessities, the monk fat man buys rice and flour every few days and sends them over.

Aunt Lin's family isn't actually short of money, but for some reason, Aunt Lin works incredibly hard to earn money, as if she's afraid of not having a tomorrow.

When Aunt Lin heard Lin Qingfeng's name, her nose felt a little sore. "I'm really fine. I just want to find something to do. When I'm busy, I won't feel so bad."

Her words made people feel a pang of sadness.

Chen Bo and Wen Chan exchanged a glance.

Chen Bo knew how deep the bond was between Lin Qingfeng and his mother. His father had passed away early, and as the eldest brother in the family, Lin Qingfeng had taken on the family responsibilities at a very young age. Aunt Lin had even thought about matchmaking Lin Qingfeng with Liu Yan before, and had cooked a lot of food for Liu Yan. But now, she wouldn't dare to have that thought anymore.

"Auntie, please don't be like this. Fengzi will be fine. He might even be out next year."

Chen Bo was holding Aunt Lin's hand, comforting her.

Aunt Lin looked up at Chen Bozheng with hopeful eyes, "Really?"

Chen Bozheng said, "You have to trust the police. They definitely won't wrong an innocent person. Wang Xinghai will be caught sooner or later!"

The light in Aunt Lin's eyes went out instantly.

She forced a smile at Chen Bozheng, "Thank you, Zheng, I'm going home now."

Aunt Lin slowly turned and walked away.

Her hair had turned mostly white, and she looked much older.

Wen Chan saw this and felt sorry for him. She looked at Chen Bozheng and said, "I hope Captain Wang can catch the person soon."

This visit to Lin Qingfeng took place on the afternoon of Lunar New Year's Eve.

Captain Wang gave me some face and arranged this time.

The fat man personally made several kinds of dumplings and brought them to the detention center for Lin Qingfeng to eat.

Lin Qingfeng wolfed down his food, revealing his bluish scalp and thin, protruding cheekbones.

He even had time to joke with the fat man, "You little rascal, you've struck it rich this time, you're really a wealthy man now, thank goodness you didn't listen to me before."

It's true that Fatty made a fortune, but seeing his brother like this, he couldn't be happy at all. He forced a smile and said, "Don't say that. I just went over to lend a hand. The one who's really capable is Xiao Jiang. Even though she's a girl, she's much more decisive than me. By the way, do you know Xiao Jiang's uncle?"

Wen Chan secretly rejoiced, thankful that she had brought the fat man back. The fat man was eloquent and could talk for hours on his own.

With him speaking here, it didn't seem so desolate.

Lin Qingfeng also seemed to be in a good mood, eating and talking at the same time. When he got excited, he even rolled up his sleeves and spit out his words.

Chen Bozheng's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he grabbed Lin Qingfeng's wrist, "What happened to your hand?"

Lin Qingfeng's hand trembled, and the chopsticks clattered onto the table.

The monk and the fat man then noticed several knife scars on Lin Qingfeng's wrist. They were very gruesome, though shallow, they were still shocking to behold.

"Who did this?!"

The fat man became excited, and the fat muscles on his face trembled.

Chen Bo was staring at Lin Qingfeng. "Did someone bully you? I'm going to find Captain Wang!"

"Brother, Fatty, don't get agitated." Lin Qingfeng lowered his head, his eyes were dark and swollen. He slowly withdrew his hand. "I did it myself, but don't worry, I can't bring myself to do that to myself."

He gave a bitter smile. "My mother always said I was promising and could endure more hardship than others, but in the end, I was just a useless piece of trash. I didn't even dare to commit suicide."

"Fengzi, are you crazy? You're innocent! Why are you doing this?!"

The monk exclaimed incredulously, “You’ve always been smarter than us since you were little. You’re just having a bad time right now. Once you get out, you’ll have plenty of good days ahead of you. We will all help you!”

Lin Qingfeng bit his lip until it bled, tears streaming down his cheeks and snot running down his face. He said, "I know, I know everything, but I'm so scared. I can't take it. If we can't find Wang Xinghai, and the police convict me, I'll only have the death penalty. I'm scared, I'm really scared. I can't sleep well in there. Every night, as soon as I close my eyes, my heart races."

Chen Bozheng and the others fell silent.

Lin Qingfeng is a very proud person. He cared about his reputation even when he was poor, and he is even more so now that he has made money.

He cried so miserably, so undignifiedly, his whole body trembling.

Wen Chan couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Chen Bozheng didn't speak, but took out a handkerchief and handed it to him, "Do you believe me?"

Lin Qingfeng took the handkerchief and awkwardly wiped away his tears and snot, but the tears only flowed more and more.

Chen Bo said, "I've never lied to you since we were kids, and this time is no exception. Trust me, you'll be fine!"

Lin Qingfeng looked up at Chen Bozheng, his face streaked with tears. "Brother, you don't need to comfort me. I've already prepared for the worst. If anything happens to me, I'll shamelessly ask you to take care of my mother and my younger siblings. I'll repay your kindness in my next life!"

Author's Note: Upcoming novel: "The Extraordinary Female Supporting Character in a Historical Fiction [1980s]"

Wen Xihe's family has been renowned doctors for generations. When it came to her generation, she became famous at a young age, and everyone thought she would become a national doctor.

Who knew that she would die from overwork while treating patients?

In the 1980s, a time of great growth and development, she transmigrated into a fictional novel as a cannon fodder female supporting character who brought her younger brother to the city to seek refuge with her uncle.

When Pu Yi met his uncle's family, they acted strangely, as if they were wary of him.

Wen Xihe assumed the other party was worried about money, so he said, "We won't eat and stay for free; we'll go out and find work tomorrow."

Director Lin cautioned, "Finding a job isn't easy, especially since you're—"

They only know a rudimentary, half-baked way of treating illnesses.

Before long, Wen Xihe went to work at a well-known medical clinic in Beijing.

The Lin family was stunned.

Wen Xihe scratched his head: Finding a job doesn't seem so difficult after all.

Clinic: No, where did this big shot from who suddenly appeared in Beijing?

Now that she has found a job, Director Lin and her family are worried about her marriage prospects.

Wen Xihe's fiancé, Chen Geng, is a member of a privileged family, a graduate of a prestigious university, and is known for his handsome appearance. He is also famously arrogant and disdainful of everyone.

This marriage is probably doomed.

But in the blink of an eye, her ex-fiancé Chen Geng and his uncle Chen Suzhi got into a fight over Wen Xihe.

Mrs. Lin woke up in the middle of the night and kicked Director Lin: "You son of a bitch, can you ever tell the truth? Xiao Wen is such a good person, not only is she beautiful, but she's also a good doctor. You used to say she was just average-looking, spoiled, and only had a mediocre medical skill. Old Lin, have you learned to play tricks on me? Get out and go to sleep."

In the dead of night, Director Lin, who was sleeping on the sofa wrapped in a bed sheet, couldn't understand how his cousin's daughter had changed so much.

Wen Xihe didn't take Chen Suzhi's pursuit of her seriously at first.

The book describes how Chen Suzhi, this bigwig, was wholeheartedly devoted to his career, aiming to get into a department. Countless leaders wanted to introduce him to potential partners, but he never agreed.

Chen Suzhi brought her things, but she assumed it was a patient thanking the doctor and righteously refused them.

Chen Su offered to drive her home, but Wen Xihe declined, saying she gets carsick.

It wasn't until Chen Suzhi and Chen Geng started fighting that Wen Xihe suddenly realized: "Was he chasing after me before?"
