The Li Dadong family and the Xu Changchun family met at the airport. Xu Nuo had proposed splitting up with Luo Junchang by offering the reason that “You mother dislikes me and I dislikes her either”.
That was really a good reason.
They were blocked when in line for security check. The eight of the Li family and Xu family didn’t make it to Canada, instead, they were brought onto a police car.
“It must be Dai Hui who sold us out. But he himself couldn’t escape.”
Dai Hui felt relieved at last when he handed the name list in to Huang Yu. It turned out that he could be such a relaxed mood after confession. If he had known this earlier, he would have given the list out much earlier.
Being informed about this Jian Yemei finally breathed a sigh of relief-Mr. Dai had left his love child a way of escape at last.
The investigation went smoothly and caused a sensation. With the help of the name list, the 27 involved corrupt officials in the list had been targeted except the few in Canada and Australia. And these 27 fugitives were on the name list of corrupt Chinese officials fleeing abroad. The suspects were coming and going in some Central American countries and Pacific island countries. Another fifteen were hiding in neighboring countries where the cost of living was quite low, such as in Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia and Mongolia. There were still another six hiding in countries in Africa, South America and Eastern Europe. They colluded with OSY Company through some of their relationships to maintain their luxurious life abroad by way of revenue-sharing.
In the prison, the three of them met in the exercise hour. They looked at each other, as if they returned to their youthhood.
Dai Hui was sentenced to only one year in prison because he had provided the important clue to make atonement. While the other two were under suspicion of crimes as extorting bribes, illegally organizing porn dens, ordering murders, etc. one was sentenced to thirty years in prison and the other man twenty years.
Bai Zhehan was already dead when he was sent to the hospital. He was beaten bitterly by so many people, and who gave him the deadly blow was undiscovered.
There were so much news for the Spring Festival, and all of the news about the case made headlines.
The OSY Company was closed down and the staff parted company after a series of investigations. Jiang Youyou was also compensated twice her salary.
On one occasion when Xu Nuo came back from visiting her parents in prison, she saw a car passing her at the bus stop.
Jiang Youyou opened the car door, “Let me give you a ride.”
When Pu Yuanhui was driving, Xu Nuo asked Jiang Youyou, “Is he your new boysfriend? Looks very good.”
She looked much plainer. She had sold the car and the house to raise money to take a lawsuit for her father but she lost it. Her father was still sentenced as many years as he deserved.
“How are you getting on recently?” Jiang Youyou looked at her. “One of Yuanhui’s friends is engaged in foreign trade, and he is in want of a GM assistant. The salary and the benefits package will not be lower than those you got from OSY. I’ll give him your phone number, you can go and have a try.”
Xu Nuo nodded, “And how about you? What’s your plan?”
Pu Yuanhui said, “We’re going back to her hometown.”
Arriving at the house Xu Nuo rented, Jiang Youyou got off the car and took Xu Nuo’s hand and said, “I have few friends here and you’re one of them. Tell me if you have any difficulties.”
Xu Nuo’s eyes filled with tears and she cuddled Jiang Youyou, sobbing, “I’m alone. I’m living such a hard life.”
“Where’s Mr. Luo? How could he leave you behind and not to take care of you?”
“Skip it! I don’t really get along with his mother, and I’m not going to compromise myself by playing the role of a flatterer. I can live very well all on my own.”
“Then do you still love him?”
Xu Nuo didn’t answer but said “Goodbye” to Jiang Youyou.
Back home and lying in bed, she felt a pang of sorrow, it turned out that even Jiang Youyou, whom she looked down upon, could live better than her.
Luo Junchang’s goodness suddenly flashed through her mind. If only she wasn’t be at odds with him then. Otherwise she wouldn’t have to pay the rent in arrears for a few days, not to mention buying beautiful dresses.
