Lin Yi nodded and continued asking,
“I want to ask, when your parents took your sister’s money to buy you a house. Did you guys write an IOU?”
“IOU? Why would we write an IOU?!”
The family of three became anxious at the same time.
“This is like our own money. Why would we owe her anything?!”
“In other words, you don’t intend to return the 1 million yuan after taking it?”
“Of course not. Didn’t we raise her to safeguard our future? Otherwise, why would we need her?”
“When you put it that way, I understand what you mean.”
“Look, what did I say? This young man is the sensible one,” the middle-aged couple said with a laugh.
Lin Yi looked at the young woman. “The one million yuan that was taken away was all legal income, right?”
“Yes, I have a master’s degree in computer science from Tsinghua University. My annual salary is about 500,000 yuan now. I’ve saved up every cent of that money to buy a house for myself.”
“If that’s the case, things will be easy to resolve.” Lin Yi said.
“According to the Civil Code, it’s illegal for parents to take away their children’s money without their children’s consent. Dapeng, Xinxin, take them away first. If they can’t return the one million yuan within the specified time, apply to the court for enforcement.”
“Got it, Brother Lin.”
Lin Yi’s words stunned the family of three.
No one expected that after saying so much, he would actually want to arrest them!
“What are you doing? It’s only right for me to spend her money. What right do you have to arrest me?!”
The middle-aged woman lay on the ground and rolled around.
“Let go of my wife. Did you guys secretly receive benefits for you to speak up for her? Do you know the law?!” The middle-aged man said.
“Of course I know the law, but I don’t have time to explain these things to you,” Lin Yi said condescendingly.
“All I can tell you is that your actions have already violated the law. If you have any objections, go to the judge. Our job is to send you to the judge.”
Seeing that Lin Yi was serious, the family of three was dumbfounded.
They also knew that the police would never reason with them.
“You heartless person. I’ve raised you painstakingly for so many years, but you actually reported us and are sending us to jail! From now on, I want to sever our father-daughter relationship!”
“Cut the cr*p!” Zhang Zixin said.
“In your current state, your daughter can’t wait to leave you. What’s the use of you other than dragging her down?”
“It’s a waste of breath to say this. Take them away.”
Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin took the family of four away.
Zhang Demin laughed heartily at Lin Yi. “You’re something else, kid. Your time in the criminal police squad wasn’t wasted. You intimidated them with that tough demeanor.”
“People like this can’t be reasoned with politely. You have to be firm.”
“The current social atmosphere hasn’t completely changed. Incidents like this still happen every year. Sigh…”
“Take it slow, there’s no rushing these things.”
Ring ring ring!
As they chatted, Lin Yi’s phone rang. To his surprise, it was a call from Wang Ying.
Seeing Wang Ying’s name, Lin Yi took a deep breath, walked out of the office, and went to a corner of the corridor to answer the call.
“Little Yi?”
“Were you surprised to hear that I’m not dead?”
“You little rascal! I understand you had a mission, but you should have told me in advance.” Wang Ying scolded over the phone:
“If I hadn’t visited your parents, I wouldn’t have known.”
Despite her complaints, Lin Yi could clearly hear Wang Ying’s sobbing.
“You met my parents?”
“I’m on a business trip in Yangcheng and thought I’d drop by to see your parents and bring some things to the orphanage. It was only then that I found out.”
“They only found out this morning. Don’t cry, it’s all over now.”
“Just wait until I get back. I’ll teach you a lesson!”
“Alright, I’ll wait for you to come back,” Lin Yi said with a smile.
After talking with Wang Ying for a while, Lin Yi finally managed to calm her down.
At the same time, Lin Yi’s mind displayed system information.
The progress for this stage of the task had reached (6/10), likely because the recent case had been resolved.
Since such civil cases didn’t need to go through judicial procedures and could be settled as long as compensation was agreed upon, they were handled quickly.
With the current matters concluded, Lin Yi unconsciously glanced outside.
Ji Qingyan’s car was still outside, and nothing had changed.
Lin Yi returned to the office again, but he had no intention of handling the case.
He even had lunch in the canteen.
Time flowed like water. In the blink of an eye, the sky gradually darkened. In the distant sky, a cloud sprinkled down.
“It’s already time to get off work. Why aren’t you leaving?”
Li Xianghui, who was holding the car keys and preparing to get off work, asked.
“I have something else to do. You can go first.”
“Alright, I’m leaving.”
After saying goodbye, Li Xianghui left the office. The others in the branch also left one after another.
Only the white Maserati was still parked quietly on the street across the road. It showed no signs of leaving.
Lin Yi leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, thinking about something.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already past nine in the evening.
Other than the colleagues on duty, the entire branch office building was extremely quiet.
Lin Yi even felt like he could hear his own heartbeat.
As usual, Ji Qingyan’s Maserati was still parked there.
Lin Yi had underestimated Ji Qingyan’s tenacity.
He had thought that He Yuanyuan would come and persuade her to leave, but he had forgotten that no one could persuade her of this.
Whoosh!
Lin Yi took a deep breath and sat up.
If this continued, Ji Qingyan would probably not leave.
After tidying up his clothes, Lin Yi slowly walked out of the police station and walked towards Ji Qingyan’s Maserati.
A distance of dozens of meters was like a long journey for Lin Yi.
In the end, Lin Yi stopped about a meter away from the car.
Crack…
The car door opened, revealing a small gap.
At this moment, time seemed to have stopped. It was unknown how much time had passed before the car door really opened. freewebnσvel.cøm
Ji Qingyan alighted from the car and stood in front of the driver’s seat.
Lin Yi’s heart was beating wildly.
Over the past month, both Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan had been tormented.
At this moment, the two of them stood facing each other and stared at each other. However, the distance of more than a meter between them felt like it spanned the entire galaxy.
They stared at each other for a long time.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Lin Yi took a step forward, but Ji Qingyan extended her hand.
One slap!
It hit him in the face!
