Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mother Lu’s eyes flashed with panic.

She hurried to the window and looked down at the road below the villa, only to discover that the Lu family villa was completely surrounded by plainclothes police.

Mrs. Lu’s face turned pale. These police officers must have known that Li Changhai was hiding in the Lu Residence. She quickly went to the piano room and pulled Li Changhai up from the bed. She instructed in a panic, “Changhai, we’re surrounded by plainclothes police outside. You probably won’t be able to escape today. Do you remember your promise to me? No matter what, you have to protect Momo.”

Li Changhai looked flustered, but he quickly calmed down. He suddenly held Mrs. Lu’s hand tightly and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll take all the responsibility alone. I won’t implicate you and your daughter. I’ll turn myself in now.”

Mother Lu wiped her tears and suddenly threw herself into Li Changhai’s arms. She said sweetly, “Changhai, you’ll go to jail.”

Li Changhai hugged her and looked at her beautiful figure. Although she was over forty years old, she had taken good care of herself. Li Changhai’s fear instantly disappeared.

He said, “At most, I’ll be charged with attempted murder and be sentenced to four or five years. One day, I’ll be released. Wait for me.”

“Okay.”

Mother Lu comforted Li Changhai before turning around and walking out. At this moment, there was a smile in her eyes. She felt that everything was under her control. Even the heavens were helping her.

Huo Xiaoran refused to marry Lu Mo with the excuse that Li Changhai had not been captured. If Li Changhai took the initiative to turn himself in and took the blame for hurting Qiao An, then Huo Xiaoran would have no reason to refuse to marry Lu Mo.

Mrs. Lu came to the door of the villa elegantly and pretended to be surprised to see the police officer. “Why is Officer Huang here?”

“Madam, the CEO of the Huo Corporation disappeared for no reason yesterday. Someone saw him coming to the Lu family’s villa yesterday before he disappeared. We’re worried that CEO Huo might have been killed in the Lu family’s villa. So please cooperate with us and let us go in to search the villa.”

Mrs. Lu was very shocked. She did not expect the police to be here for Huo Xiaoran. At this moment, she regretted encouraging Li Changhai to turn himself in. It seemed a little too rushed.

Without waiting for Mrs. Lu’s response, Officer Huang gave his subordinates a look and the plain-clothed police officers entered the Lu family’s villa.

Mother Lu clenched her fists, her heart racing. She was secretly glad that since these police officers were not here for Li Changhai, he should be able to escape this calamity.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the police escorted Li Changhai out.

Mrs. Lu trembled and looked at Officer Huang in shock. Officer Huang smiled faintly at her and warned coldly, “Mrs. Lu, do you know that it’s illegal to harbor criminals?”

Mrs. Lu forced a smile. “Officer Huang, you can’t talk nonsense. I don’t know why Li Changhai was found in my house.”

Li Changhai immediately shouted, “Mrs. Lu, I left something behind in the Lu family, so I sneaked back to look for it. I’m sorry. You’ve been so good to me, but I’ve implicated you.”

He then said to Officer Huang, “Officer, I’ve lived in the Lu family for more than ten years. I treat this place as my own home. I did commit a crime and went into hiding. But even if I had ten guts, I wouldn’t dare to hide in the Lu family. Look, I was caught by you as soon as I returned. This is really a coincidence. It has nothing to do with the Lu family.”

Officer Huang said, “We’ll investigate if the Lu family is harboring criminals.”

Officer Huang took Li Changhai away.

When Li Changhai was interrogated, he pleaded guilty and insisted on his original statement. Hurting Qiao An was his personal doing. Because his heart ached for his employer’s daughter, he wanted to help Lu Mo.

And everything he did was done behind the Lu family’s back.

No matter how many times he was interrogated, his confession was always so consistent.

In the end, Li Changhai was sentenced to ten years in prison for attempted murder.

When the Lu family heard this news, they were furious.

Mother Lu said indignantly, “The worst punishment for attempted murder is ten years. Although Li Changhai hurt Qiao An, isn’t Qiao An alive and well now?”

She suddenly came to a realization. “In my opinion, Huo Xiaoran was behind this.”

Lu Mo did not believe that Huo Xiaoran would be so heartless to her. “Mom, Qiao An is only his ex-girlfriend, and I’m his fiancée now. He has no reason to harm my interests to protect Qiao An.”

However, Mrs. Lu said, “That day, your Uncle Li originally planned to turn himself in on his own accord so that he could get leniency. However, Officer Huang suddenly barged into the villa to search on the grounds that Huo Xiaoran was missing. Hmph, I’m afraid your good senior deliberately blocked your Uncle Li’s way to turn himself in.”

Lu Mo’s face turned pale. If Huo Xiaoran really had such thoughts, then his feelings for her and Qiao An were worlds apart.

Mother Lu was furious again. “In my opinion, Huo Xiaoran must have helped Qiao An and given Li Changhai the heaviest punishment.”

Lu Mo hated it most when Huo Xiaoran planned for Qiao An. Jealousy surged in her heart. “Mom, I’ll go look for Senior. I’ll plead with him. Senior is soft-hearted and might be able to agree to our appeal for a retrial. As long as he doesn’t interfere with us during our retrial, I think we can reduce Uncle Li’s sentence to four to five years.”

Mrs. Lu’s eyes lit up. She reminded Lu Mo, “Alright, go and beg him. It might be useful. Also, now that Li Changhai has been arrested, shouldn’t he fulfill his promise and marry you?”

Lu Mo’s eyes were filled with hope. “I’ll go find him now.”

It was the weekend.

Huo Xiaoran rarely went to work on weekends, so Lu Mo could only come to the Heavenly Imperial Garden where Huo Xiaoran lived.

Unfortunately, Xiao Ran’s house on the weekend was always very lively.

Xiao Yue, Qiao An, and Huo Zhou were all gathered at Xiao Ran’s house. Everyone was chatting happily.

Seeing Lu Mo, Xiao Yue’s face instantly drooped.

“What’s she doing here again?”

Xiao Yue’s dislike for Lu Mo was obvious.

Lu Mo looked slightly embarrassed. She looked at Huo Xiaoran in embarrassment and said, “Senior, I have something to say to you alone.”

Huo Xiaoran’s eyes were cold. “You’re here to plead for Li Changhai, right?”

Lu Mo nodded.

Huo Xiaoran glanced at Qiao An, and Qiao An’s bright face suddenly became expressionless.

Huo Xiaoran said, “It’s better for you to beg Qiao An. After all, she’s the victim.”

Only then did Lu Mo notice that Qiao An was also here.
