Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 624 I'm in charge

Qin Aihua seemed deflated. She glanced at Liu Junyi, who was still lying in the corner, shook her head and smiled. Then she looked at Yang Xuemei, who had sat up in fear and hid at the end of the kang (a heated brick bed), sighed, and said to Huang, "I won't resist. I did all the work. Just don't wrong Xiaomei."

Huang dared not lower his gun, took a step back to clear the doorway, and said, "You shouldn't have killed someone with her and then run away, do you understand? You're putting her in danger. Now you're definitely going to die. I can't speak for her, but as a police officer, I assure you that I will ask the judge for a lenient sentence for her."

Xiao Wei walked in with handcuffs and said, "I promise, I'll take care of Yang Xuemei from now on. If she's sentenced, my wife and I will go see her for you, and I'll help her find a job when she gets out. You're a real man, you just chose the wrong path. I really will take care of this."

Xiao Wei waved the handcuffs in his hands at Qin Aihua, who was kneeling on the kang (a heated brick bed), and said, "Trust me? I'm not a policeman. I own my own company. I can't promise you much, but I have millions. I guarantee she'll be set for life."

Qin Aihua looked at Xiaowei: "Really?"

Xiao Wei nodded and said, "Really, a man's word is his bond. She's the victim in this whole affair, so I'll definitely take care of it."

Qin Aihua slowly sat down and said to Yang Xuemei, "I originally wanted to spend a few days with you, but it seems there's no chance now. Take good care of yourself from now on. If you still have the heart, help me collect my body and come to visit me every year. Find a good family to marry into and settle down with."

Yang Xuemei sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), biting the quilt tightly, tears streaming down her face, but she couldn't utter a single word.

Xiao Wei said, "Come down, we have to go."

Qin Aihua glanced at Yang Xuemei again, then slowly got off the kang (a heated brick bed). Xiao Wei said, "Turn around and face away from me. You're in too much danger."

Qin Aihua smiled, turned around, and put his hands behind his back. Xiao Wei went over and handcuffed him, saying, "Let's go. When we get to Fengtian, I'll see if I can let you stay together a little longer. We need to hurry."

Lu Suo and Xiao Liu also came around, and Hao Dawei ran over and called out to them.

Officer Lu and Officer Huang led Qin Aihua toward the car, one on each side. Xiao Liu and Xiao Wei also half-supported Yang Xuemei, one on each side. Lao Zhang, Liu Junyi, and Hao Dawei followed along. By the time they reached the car, they were all panting heavily. Officer Lu and Officer Huang put Qin Aihua into the jeep and shoved Yang Xuemei into Xiao Wei's car.

Xiao Wei and Hao Dawei escorted Yang Xuemei, while Huang Suo's Xiao Liu escorted Qin Aihua with a gun. The Type 56 submachine gun was placed in the trunk of Xiao Wei's car. The two cars started and turned around to go back. Lu Suo leaned on the car window and said to Lao Zhang and Liu Junyi, "Don't go out for the next two days. You've done a good job. Wait for the notification."

Old Zhang and Liu Junyi nodded in agreement, and the two cars sped off one after the other. After traveling about two kilometers, they passed two jeeps and a military vehicle coming from the opposite direction. Director Lu slapped the steering wheel and said, "That was a brilliant move, haha, Xiao Wei is truly a lucky star!" It was a perfect steal in less than twenty minutes, mainly thanks to Qin Aihua for giving up the fight.

Qin Aihua turned her head and looked at the three cars that passed by, saying, "Those are here to arrest me too, right? That's more like it. You guys are really bold, daring to arrest me with just five people. Impressive. If I wanted to fight back, I could at least kill three or four of you."

Huang asked, "Did you serve in the military?"

Qin Aihua sighed and said, "I've risked my life for the country."

Huang said, "I've also been to the battlefield, but I'm luckier than you; I became a policeman. You've really made a mistake. You could have lived happily with Xiao Yang, so why did you choose this path? Couldn't you have taken her and run away together? With your skills, you could survive anywhere!"

Qin Aihua said, "Men just want to have a grand and exciting life. How can they tolerate their women being bullied like this? I can't stand it. I'll risk my life to avenge Xiaomei. I love her. The thought that they're still alive and well makes my heart ache."

Huang asked, "Why did you kill those two sentries? You two must have known each other, right?"

Qin Aihua said, "I knew them, we met often. I didn't have time to think about it then. If I didn't kill them, I wouldn't have had time to avenge Xiaomei. I feel bad for them. I'll kowtow and apologize to them when I get down here."

Huang said, "To be honest, I admire how you handled this, but I don't appreciate it. There are plenty of ways to get revenge; why choose a deadly path? You've killed Xiao Yang!"

Qin Aihua remained silent. Huang said, "The driver in front is a big boss. He came to us as a citizen representative. He said that if he takes charge of Xiao Yang's matter, he definitely can. You can rest assured. We really sympathize with you, but we can't help you. After all, the sentry and the worker are innocent."

Qin Aihua sighed and said, "As long as she's alright, that's all that matters. I haven't thought about anything else."

Huang raised his hand and patted Qin Aihua on the shoulder, then said nothing more.

In the car ahead, Xiaowei spoke to Yang Xuemei, who was crying in the back, as he drove: "Your name is Yang Xuemei, right? Don't cry, crying won't solve anything now. Let me tell you, during tomorrow's interrogation, you have to tell me all about your past experiences, make it as dramatic as possible, understand? The more truthful and detailed you are, the better it will be for Qin Aihua, understand? This is the only way you can help him now."

Yang Xuemei said, "I... I can't say it."

Xiao Wei said, "Do you love Qin Aihua? If you love him, you have to say it, you must say it, do you understand? That family treated you so badly, and now they've ruined both of you. Why are you still helping them hide things? Tell everyone those shameful things, expose them to the world, and maybe Qin Aihua won't have to die, understand?"

Yang Xuemei asked, "Really? Really?"

Xiao Wei said, "I can't predict the outcome, but we have to try our best, right? We won't have any regrets if we try. Understand?"

Yang Xuemei nodded and said, "I understand, thank you."

Xiao Wei said, "You're older than me, so you'll be my older sister from now on. My name is Zhang Wei, and I'll take care of you for the rest of your life. Tomorrow I'll bring my wife to see you so you can meet. Remember what I said, don't be shy. If they can do it, we can say it too, understand? For Brother-in-law Qin's sake."

A horn sounded from behind. Xiao Wei looked in the rearview mirror and saw that Lu Suo's car had its right turn signal on, so he slowed down and slowly pulled over to the side of the road.

Lu jumped out of the jeep and ran over: "Hao Dawei, you sit in the front."

Hao Dawei got out of the car and sat on the passenger side. Huang, the police chief, brought Qin Aihua over and sat in the back seat. Lu, the police chief, said to Xiaowei, "Go fast, don't wait for me. Let's go."

Xiao Wei stepped on the gas and the car shot off. He'd been trying to keep the Jeep from going too fast the whole way, and with this acceleration, it was gone in a dozen seconds. Lu Suo turned to look at Xiao Liu standing next to the Jeep, laughed, and said, "Let's not go any further. Let's find a place to hide and leave at dawn."

Xiao Liu said, "Okay, there's still food and drinks in the car anyway, it's just that this old car is a bit cold."
