Chapter 257 - "What a coincident?" (3)

Knowing that they could see how much money Yingying’s parents had stashed away, many were tempted. That being said, Yingying wasn’t going to invite just anyone. She looked for a few with better integrity, one of them being a supervisor at the factory that her dad worked at and was his immediate supervisor.

Yingying’s brother was about to stop this from happening when he was stopped by Feng Zeyu.

Opening up the hidden compartment under the dead again, everybody could see two stashes of money. A stash for 50,000 yuan and another for 30,000 yuan. Everybody exchanged a look.

The couple had been extremely frugal usually and everybody had thought that they didn’t even have money for food. Nobody expected them to have saved so much money. Most importantly, they still wanted to sell their daughter even with that much money. That was going a little too far.

“Fellow Uncles, you are seeing what I am seeing. I am taking with me this 50,000 yuan and will be heading to the police station to turn it in so they can return it to Li Weiguo. In addition, I am taking with me my household register and identification card. I did not touch any of the other money. I hope you can be my witnesses.”

Part of the reasons that Yingying had them come in was for them to witness her parents’ saving. The other part was for them to see that they still wanted to sell their daughter to a 40-year-old crippled man even when they had so much money. The neighbors could make their own decisions about them.

Yingying’s brother’s eyes widened when he said the 30,000 yuan. Not even he knew that his parents had stashed away so much money. That being said, even with the 30,000 yuan, he still wanted the 50,000 yuan as well. Too bad Feng Zeyu was carrying him by his neck and he did not dare to stop them from leaving.

“Thank you so much for today,” said Shu Yan to Feng Zeyu from the passenger seat after the three had returned to the car and she had let out a sigh of relief.

“It’s nothing. Don’t mention it.”

“It’s nothing to you, but it’s a lot to us. I still have to go with Yingying to have her household register transferred today so I can’t take you to lunch today, but I will owe you one.” Along with this morning, she already owed him two meals.

“Sure. Where are you two heading? I will give you a ride,” asked Feng Zeyu.

“Let’s head to the police station first. We have to transfer the household register there anyway.” Yan Shuyu didn’t have a cellphone and wanted stop on their way to place a call to Hu Ruixue. Lo and behold, Feng Zeyu pulled out a cellphone.

“Wow, I guess you are the elite at your workplace. You have the whole nine yard,” said Shu Yan jokingly.

“I do not lie,” said Feng Zeyu seriously.

He was the owner of his company. It wasn’t a lie to say he was the elite.

Shu Yan’s lips curved upward and she gave Hu Ruixue a call.

“I have already let them know ahead of time. Just give them your name when you get there.”

Yingying first handed the 50,000 yuan to the cop that was in charge of their case today and explained the situation. The cop wrote her out a receipt and reassured her that they would return the money back to Li Weiguo when he was released. The other item on their agenda was the transferring of her household register. Partly because Hu Ruixue had made a call in advance and partly because the female cop taking of this was very sympathetic of Yingying’s situation, she was particularly efficient. She moved Yingying’s household register to a government-ran factory temporarily and she could transfer it elsewhere as soon as she bought a house.

When they walked out of the police station, Feng Zeyu was still waiting outside.

“You didn’t need to wait for us,” said Shu Yan gently, slightly moved.

“It’s not easy to get transportation here. Let’s go. Are you heading back to your shop?” Feng Zeyu turned his head and asked.

“No, going back to my office.” Shu Yan gave him an address and Feng Zeyu drove over there familiarly.

“You have been here before?” He was way too familiar with the area, much more than she was.

“Oh, I forgot to mention. My company is here as well.” Feng Zeyu pointed at the bldg. in front of them.

“Oh, what a coincidence?” Shu Yan was surprised.
