"I'm hitting my own son! What business is it of yours, you bunch of gossipy old women?" Ruan Jiaojiao roared, and the resentful slap landed even harder.

Even Captain Song couldn't stand it anymore. "Stop! Ruan Jiaojiao, if you keep causing trouble, I'll put handcuffs on you!"

Ruan Jiaojiao didn't want to wear handcuffs at all; once she put them on, she would never be able to clear her name for the rest of her life.

She angrily put Shen Yaozu down, grabbed his hand and walked away, not giving him any chance to "enjoy the good life alone"!

"Captain Song! Don't forget, Ruan Tinghe hit me too! She has to go to the police station as well!"

Ruan Tinghe didn't want to put Captain Song in a difficult position: "Captain Song, I'll ride my bicycle and follow you."

Captain Song said, "Sure, we just need your portrait!"

public security bureau.

When the group entered, the hotel's lobby manager was already waiting.

His demand was that Ruan Jiaojiao pay compensation; if she didn't, he would go to jail.

These days, a debt of a little over a hundred won't send Ruan Jiaojiao straight to jail.

However, Ruan Jiaojiao and her son are suspected of arson and damaging hotel property. If the hotel uses this charge to sue Ruan Jiaojiao...

Ruan Jiaojiao has no choice but to go to jail.

When Ruan Jiaojiao heard that she was really going to jail, her face turned pale.

Ignoring the stench on her clothes, she exclaimed, "I can work! Can I work for the hotel to pay off my debts?"

The lobby manager looked her over with disdain; she reeked of a sour, foul odor.

"What can you do?"

Without a second thought, Ruan Jiaojiao said, "I can work in finance for you, or I can be a receptionist. I'm so pretty, I can even be a greeter!"

"My requirements are very low: room and board included, and five yuan a day is enough!"

Ruan Jiaojiao felt that she had asked for very little, after all, people had previously praised her for her looks and said she could be a flight attendant!

Little did she know that in the eyes of the lobby manager, her current disgraceful state made her a candidate for dishwasher.

"You can choose between cleaning toilets in guest rooms or washing dishes in the kitchen. Cleaning toilets costs ten yuan a month, and washing dishes costs twelve yuan a month."

The main problem is that there's only one toilet in each room, and there are always tons of bowls everywhere!

Ruan Jiaojiao instantly exploded, "Who are you trying to humiliate! Do I look like someone who washes dishes and cleans toilets?"

Lobby Manager: "If you don't want to do it, you'll lose money."

Ruan Jiaojiao choked, and began to think of people who could help her.

It's absolutely impossible for him to have a hairy mole; the money is in his hands, it only goes in and never goes out!

Qiao Xiaqing and the people in the family compound could no longer be relied upon.

Now that she can call her parents, they won't have time to send her money!

As for the person from last night, that's fine, but she was taken to a different hotel last night.

She was tormented by the man all night and had no chance or thought to ask for his home address.

Now we don't even know where to find them!

"I can borrow money from my friend! But I don't know where to find him right now, though I'm sure he's in Shanghai!"

Ruan Jiaojiao spoke with great confidence, but the lobby manager shook his head.

"No, tomorrow is the last day of the month, and our hotel needs to do its accounting. If you don't fill in this amount, how am I supposed to explain it to my superiors?"

The meaning is clear: the money must be paid today.

Ruan Jiaojiao cried helplessly, "I really have no money left. I only owe you a little over a hundred yuan. Can't you just let me go?"

The lobby manager shook his head. "I'm sorry, I can't help you. Over a hundred yuan is a lot of money; it's enough for an ordinary worker to do for more than half a year."

After thinking it over, the lobby manager decided that he wanted money more than to send Ruan Jiaojiao to jail.

"Or you could try to think of someone else you can borrow money from."

Why would Ruan Jiaojiao want anyone else?

Suddenly, she thought of something.

She glared at Ruan Tinghe with a ferocious expression: "Ruan Tinghe! If you give me five hundred yuan, I won't pursue the matter of you slapping me dozens of times!"

Ruan Tinghe scoffed, "You're really asking for an exorbitant amount. Even if I beat you to death, you wouldn't be worth a hundred bucks!"

"You! Fine! You won't let me have an easy time, you want me to go to jail, then you won't have an easy time either!"

Ruan Jiaojiao ordered Captain Song, "Captain Song! Ruan Tinghe beat me up like this! She must go to jail!"

Captain Song cautioned, "Are you sure? The injury on your face is only minor; at most, she could be detained for fifteen days."

Ruan Jiaojiao gritted her teeth: "Fifteen days it is! A woman who's been to jail, let's see who would want her!"

"Ruan Tinghe, once you get out of jail, you'll never be allowed to live in the family compound again! You can just wait to starve to death out there with your three bastard children!"

Captain Song narrowed his eyes. This Ruan Jiaojiao was even more foul-mouthed than he had imagined!

Ruan Jiaojiao looked down at Ruan Tinghe with a smug expression, and suddenly felt that compared to Ruan Tinghe going to jail, it wouldn't be so bad for her to go and wash toilets or dishes!

She told the lobby manager, "I'm willing to work as your dishwasher! But I demand room and board included, and if I suddenly have money to repay you, you must release me and my son immediately!"

After thinking it over, the lobby manager realized that sending Ruan Jiaojiao to jail was a last resort; he still wanted the money more.

So they agreed, "Okay, but we only have shared dormitories, not individual rooms for you!"

Ruan Jiaojiao gritted her teeth: "Fine!"

She made up her mind to go to work first, and then secretly borrow money from others!

She refused to believe that she couldn't get it for just over a hundred yuan!

Besides, she still has Shen Yaozu as a bargaining chip!

If she can't be a military wife, will she still be a wealthy woman from the fabric industry?

Having figured everything out, Ruan Jiaojiao smugly dragged Shen Yaozu away with the lobby manager.

Captain Song finally had some peace and quiet, and he comforted Ruan Tinghe.

"Comrade Ruan, don't worry. Your situation is easy to handle. You previously helped the Public Security Bureau solve a major serial murder case and assisted the police in finding the human traffickers' hideout, making a significant contribution to the operation to eliminate human traffickers."

"Under the judicial procedure policy of combining punishment with leniency, I will apply to the higher authorities for leniency in your punishment. Given your contributions, it shouldn't be a problem to have your detention lifted immediately."

Ruan Tinghe had expected this, after all, back in her hometown, she often beat up people who came to cause trouble in the village, and she always escaped disaster thanks to the merits she had made for the police.

"Then I thank Captain Song sincerely." Ruan Tinghe expressed her gratitude.

Captain Song cautioned, "However, you were indeed impulsive this time, hitting her in front of so many people. If you hadn't performed so many great deeds, you would have had a hard time getting away with it."

Ruan Tinghe didn't care. "It's okay, I'll just pay for it!"

And she simply couldn't hold back today!

But she remembered it; next time she'd put a sack over her head and beat him with a stick!

"This application will take a day or two. Why don't you stay at the police station and help us finish the portrait we didn't complete last time?"

Ruan Tinghe pondered for a moment, "Okay, but I have a small request."

"Please speak."

"Please send someone back to the family compound to tell my family, and also send someone to tell an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor that I can take my child to see him two days later."

"No problem! It's nothing! It's the case that's bothering you!"
